We are glad to note that The Dodge
vile Sun sees good times ahead, not
withstanding the fact that we are to
continue under the gold standard.
Here are the headlines Of an article
on It's first page OF last week:
"Good Times Ahead-Dun q Co.
Paint a Bright Picture of the Future
Analysis of Business Every thing
Points to the Near Approach Of II Sea-
son OF Unprecedented Prosperity
Bradstreets Is More Conservative in
His Review Exports of Wheat and
Corn Large"
OF course the article appears In the
news columns of the Sun, but never
theless The Democrat Is glad to find 1t
anywhere In a paper which so strongly
favors the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of rs to without waiting for the
aid or consent Of any other nation on
earth, and which believes that upon
the adoption OF this policy depends
the prosperity OF the country.

INCREASING SALES OF CHEESE.

The third meeting OF the Mineral
Point Dairy Board Of Trade was held
on Wednesday afternoon, with good
attendance. About one thousand
boxes OF cheese were offered, and all
sold at Tic. The total number Of
pounds sold was over 5000, rep
scnting total value of about $1,000
for the offerings of only two weeks. 1t
will be noticed that the amount of
cheese produced IL largely In excess OF
any previous year, and the Increase
In price IL most satisfactory. The
monthly transactions of the Mineral
Point Dairy Board will reach Sl0,o0,
and this amount returned each month
to the cheese men of this section means
u good deal. The pastures through
out this territory are In excellent con
dition and In consequence the supply
OF milk IL quite large. The next meet
Ing Of the Board will be Wednesday,
July 7, when 1t IL expected the Offer
ings of cheese will be large and the
bidding spirited.

paper on Relation of the Sunday
School to the Church"
The paper was discussed by Rev
Atkinson, Thos. HI. Arthur, Revs
Kent and Straw and others. 1t con-
tanned truths which some ignore, but
they are so vital that sad will be the
day if they are universally neglected.
On motion, the chair appointed
Jas. w. Hutchinson, George Crawford
and Jas. Jackson a comittee on pro-
gram for next convention.
The convention then considered
the question of electing delegates to
the state Sunday school convention.
Rev. Straw suggested that as every
Sunday school is asked to send del
egate, this be deemed sufficient, es-
pecially as this convention has no
means of raising funds to pay the en-
penses of delegates.
Rev. Kent thought that the money
had better be used in securing noted
Sunday school workers from abroad,
to come into our midst.
A motion was made to leave the
question with president, Mr.. Pryor,
giving him power to appoint dele
gates If necessary. Carried.
Rev. Titmarsh having, on behalf of
the Dodgeville Sunday school work
ers, extended an invitation to the
convention to meet in Dodgeville
next year, said invitation was, by
vote of the convention, accepted.
Rev. Titmarsh suggested that each
town select one of it's ministers to
look after Sunday schools of his
town and vicinity.
On motion, Mr.. ID. G. Jones was
elected assistant secretary.
Some routine business was trans
acted, and after the report of the
treasurer was read and adopted, it
was suggested that the officers Sc
cure for the next meeting the pres
ence of some eminent Sunday school
worker. Mr.. Crawford opposed the
idea, and said that the success of the
convention depended upon local Sun
day school workers. In these views
he was supported by Rev. M. Chase,
who said that after the admirable
papers that he had listened to, he
could see no use of importing any
one, who could offer no better truths
or suggestions.
Vote of thanks were extended by
the convention to those who had
read papers, to the Sunday school
workers of Mineral Point for their
hospitality, and to the president, Mr.
Pryor, for the fairness and ability
with which he presided.
After prayer by Rev. VIM. Atkin-
son and benediction by Rev. f. w.
Straw the convention adjourned.

GAIN IN BUSINESS.

There are on every hand unmistak-
slowly but surely, and this despite
The fact that the tariff question Is UNI
settled by congress. The revival is
sure to come, and its coming would
be greatly FASTENED, II both the tar
iif question and the money question
could be removed from the arena of
party politics IL. G. Dun 4 Go. +
Review Of Trade, June T., gives II
hopeful review Of the situation, and
says: The gain In business continues,
not without fluctuations, and vt the
bcstmoderate yet distinct. II Is still
IN quantities rather than prices, nj
though in some branches an advance
in prices appears, but ON the whole
the number of hands employed, the
volume of new orders, and the amount
Of work done, are slowly increasing.
Prospect Of good crop of wheat and
cotton helps; growing demand from
dealers whose stocks II gradually
gaining consumption deplc,c also
helps; and In the money and exchange
market large buying of American
securities has nm inIlucnye.
Bradstrces Review, June II, says;
Notwithstanding cool, wet weather,
which checked the distribution of
scasonable goods, disappointment ut
the restriction of distribution of mcr-
chandise In the spring and early sum
mcr is giving way to hopefulness for
the fall trade. Business Is better than
year ago. The volume is larger,
and there are more people employed
than prior To the presidential election.
The movement OF merchandise IN the
last five months has been disappointing,
but Iohhcrs are beginning TO report
fair orders for fall delivery. The on
eouraging features announced this
week are the Improvement IN May rail
road earnings and the advacc IN prices
Of Besscmcr pig iron, although the
latter Is less significant than some re-
Indicate. Manufacturers OF woolrns

Paws For His Theater Ticket

Contrary to general belief. royalty does
not possess the privilege of free admission
at the theaters. When the Prince of Wales,
for instance. visits the theater the ex-
penditure for box hire alone amounts to
G2O. This is an unwritten law at court.
whether the theater boasts Of royal box
or not. With one or two exceptions. the
royal box is not reserved exclusively for
royalty. and 1t can be hired by anyone
who cares to pay the price-about twice
as much as is charged for the private
boxes. The exceptions are the Theater
Royal. Drury Lane. the italian opera and
the Ha|ymarket theater. Although the
royal box is open to the public. very few
of those who can afford 1t care to occupy
