Our Centennial Supplement.

II is with pardonable pride that the
Journal issues its centennial supple
ment. 1t has aimed from the COM
mencement to issue publication that
would be worthy of the occasion ana
commemorate the event in an enduring
form. No expense or pains has peen
spared and the highest state OF the arr
has been unsparingly resorted to IN the
accomplishment of this object. Whiie
the public have responded freely to the
invitations of the centennial committee
and the joint representatives OF tne
committee and the Journal, neverthe-
less the enterprise is not financial
success. neither was it designed or ex-
pected to be from the beginning. 1t
will devolve upon every citizen to do
his. or her. part in extending the circu-
lation to as many friends abroad as
possible. With this end in view the
price of the supplement and of the
pamphlet has been made barely SUI
flcicnt to cover the cost. 1t has further
been thought advisable to encourage
the circulation of the pamphlet, III
preference to the supplement. from the
fact that the heavy paper after being
folded and handled few times Will
becUne creased SO as to mar very many
of the portraits and views, and be much
less valuable for preserving as a SOU
yenir of the day. The supplement Will
be delivered free to all subscribers of
the daily Journal but it will not be pos
sible to include the supplement with
the regular daily sales of the Journal at
the price of the paper without entail
ment will be sold separately from the
raper at the price of cents per copy.
The price of the pamphlet, which can
not be ready for delivery for week or
ten days as it will include the orations
and a full account of the exercises of
the day will be Is cents per copy. Or
ders for 1t should be sent in as early as
POSSIBLE The issue, on account of the
expense of work of this character,
will be limited to the number deemed
necessary to fill all orders as nearly as
can be estimated; it will therefore be
necessary to have your order in before
the edition is printed to be sure Of not
being disappointed.

duty on sugar and for the most part op-
pose any adequate tariff on any prod

The Silver Whippers-In.

The National Silver party" attract

the meeting of it's executive committee
at Chicago, Tuesday. obviously this
was a convenient way for announcing
to the world that such a party was in
existence. Only such gathering to-
gether with the adoption of rev
resolutions (by printing which the
press is looked to for free advertising)
all timed to go off during wait in
the continuous performance of Mr.
Bryan, could relieve the popular i'm
preston that the National Silver
party or any fragments thereof had
escaped the nav of Bryanism. Catch
ing at such straws as the bimetailic
commission may afford would seem to
part of the National Silver" leaders
whether they can keep afloat. Some OF
those alleged sound money Democratic
organs, like the New York Post have
thrown the silver men plank in the
shape of an accusation that the Repub-
lican party has betrayed its Demo-
cratic allies. This the silver men have
grasped with the clutch of despera-
ton. There is subtle humor
about this calling man fool as an
inducement for him to make one of
