STILL CLAM0RING.

The clamor still continues. Wall
upon wall 90 up to the sky which
seems dark only because the tears
bedim the eye and obscure the bow
of promise. The prophecies OF
yesterday have gone up in fiattus
to be resolved to native air, but
new prophets and false political
deities loom up out of the atmos-
phere and points to the woeful pre-
dicament of the colored politician
and predict that things are grow
ing from bad to worse. In the
mean time, President Mckinley is
regaling himself at his pleasant re-
sort, Mark Hanna is enjoying
plea ant visions as he glides, in
his splendid yacht, over the beauti-
full blue placid waters of the north
ern lakes and hears no sound Of
the clashing and discordant Office
seekers, while the great leaders OF
the party are jubilsnt over the
large crops, the new gold find, the
ability of the farmer to pay OF his
mortgages and the evidences that
the advanced agent of prosperity"
is actually in our midst with his
cornucopia full, ready to stimulate
american activities and advance
human happiness.
In the silent gloom of their labO-
ratories, surrounded by broken
relics of silverism and free trade,
our colored alchemists are filling
their phials of wrath and are going
through the incantations which
they hope will conjure destruction
to the republican party and empha.
sized their mighty power. They
are moving up and down the earth
seeking to SOW the seed of discord
and distraction and are declaring
that it Is no use waiting any Longer
to hold q convention to condemn
the lppratitude and insincerity o.
the republican party and that nov
is the time to form a balance Of
power party" whose cardinal princi
pal shall be "plunder or bolt" But
with an equanimity which is an in
tenseIy aggravating to our prophets
as 1t is commendable in themselves
the masses of colored voters are
patiently waiting, believing that
when the proper time arrives, the
faithful allies af the party will re-
ceive the reward which they 81
richly deserve. They are not hasty
nor recalcitrant and can see in tbt
movement of the times evidences o.
friendship and reward. 1t is tt

THEY WANT BRUCE.
From The Leavenworth Herald.

From The Leavenworth Herald.
The editor of The NeW York Age
says that "7He Washington Bee and
CULored american, and the Indian
aboks Freeman, The LeavenV0rth
Herald and other papers insist with all
the lung power they possess that ex-
Senator B. K. Bruce shall be register
of the treasury" The editor of The
Age might have gone farther and said
that nine-tenths of the colored news
papers of the country insist with all
the lung power they possess that
ex-senator B. K. Bruce shall be regis
ter of the treasury.
Why of course we are all for
Bruce. We want him because he has
been tried and not found wanting.
We want him because he represents
the best type of Afro American
citizenship. We want him for the
same reason that white men want
to see their most tried and trusted
leaders at the helm.

WHAT ISAW AND HEARD.

There is a great deal of dissatis-
faction among the republican
voters in this country. The attack
IF Editor Fortune upon the ad-
minlstration has caused a great
division among the colored voters.
There seem to be general dis
satisfaction. The old soldiers are
greatly dissatisfied and if some
thing is not done at once there
will be trouble in the camp.
The factors IN politics are anx-
ious about Bruce. On the street
corners and in hotels you can hear
expressions of dissatlfaction.
The Maryland colored republi-
cans are kicking and have decided
to support Senator Gorman. Al
most every colored republican in
the state will bolt the republican
ticket.
The appointment of ex-State
Senator John P. Green seems to
have given entire satisfaction
among his friends The report
that MIR. Gary was not favorable
to this appointment is untrue.
1t looks very much like the Dis
trict republicans are in the soup

and they will be some where else.
From present indications it
looks as # there will not be enough
colored republicans in 1900 re-
marked an Office seeker Thursday,
to tell a tale of our republican
success.
There are many republicans in
this city who have expressed their
dissatisfaction at the manner in
which they are being treated. The
original Mckinley man is now
ashamed to own that he ever voted
for the young Napoleon. The
democrats in Office say that the
republ cans must be patient and
wait until Bryran is elected The
colored democrats who are protected
by the civil service are now laugh
ing at the colored republicans
whose places they are now filling.
The Ohio campaign is getting
warm. There is great deal OF
dissatisfaction and discomfort.
The editor of The Cleveland Ga
zette is kicking against the State
ticket and there is no telling how
matters are going. Senator Hanna
is making desperate fight and
fir m what ex-StaIe Senator Green
says, ne is bound to win.
Secretary of State Sherman does
not take much stock in negroes.
He has not forgotten how they
sold him out at Chicago. He was
at one time their special champion.
The talk now is. why is it that
no colored men are -ecOn. mended
for appointment by the Mississippi
delegation?
This state of affairs didn't exist
when Lynch had control of the
State. MIR. Lynch is a thorough
race man and today he is the
strongest man in the state OF

BUSY TIMES AT PERRYS.
A Great Line of Attractions in Carpets,
 Mattings, Rugs. Etc.


 H. B. Perry, the carpet dealer, keeps right up to the front as usual, and in the years that he has so successfully catered to the wants of the carpet buying public of New Haven and Vii cinity he has never had a more attrac- tive stock or better bargains for the people, as a look about his large and centrally situated store well substanti- ates. MT. Perry and his corps of as- sistants are very busy with their spring trade. MT. Perry has established fine reputation for giving his patrons their moneys worth and for just dealings with all. He has so extended a busi- ness experience that he knows what to buy and how to buy well, and his pa irons share in the advantages accru- ing. Special features now are carpets, rugs, mattings, linoleums, oil cloth, up- holstery goods, curtains, draperies, wall paper, etc. The best makes in carpets are always a feature at MT. PerrX's store, and competent and skilled em- ployes make up and lay the carpets, etc., in a most workmanlike manner.

dresser, if he has energy enough. IF in addition to his feeling for color he has tact enough to bring some slow selling goods to the front and speak of them in such way that the customer buys, his chance is better still, for more than half of the success of a window dresser consists in managing the goods to best advantage. He must ticket them right and must beware of using common place sounding phrases. A really taste ful, carefully arranged upholstery window that we had in last week was spoiled by the ticketing. Unique cheapness' was one of the central tick cts. We go in for the reticent style of decorations, and believe in showing just enough of the goods we have to sell to whet the interest of the passerby and tempt him to come inside and in vestigate the stock"

There was a dress rehearsal at the nun scene, and it was the first time the other mem- bers of the cast had seen it.

WINDOW-DRESSING.

Commercial Advantages of Making Ar
 tistic Displays-Qualities Required
 for the Work-Some of the Devices
 Employed
 That merchants are more and more recognizing the commercial as well as artistic advantages of beautifully ar ranged windows is evident to the most indifferent observer in the shopping districts.
 "Window-dressing, as well as store decoration in general, is fine art now; it is a science. Good window-dressers are in demand, and there are very few of them" said the director in store whose business it is to crlticise the win dow-d -dressers' achievements and order a window "out" when the effect is not satisfactory,
 There are two kinds of window dressing" he went on, "the fiorid or acrobatic kind and the kind that is
 more reticent. Some window-dressing is used merely to cali peoples atten- tion to the estore-mechanical toys and figures, allegorical symbols, any and everything that is striking in color and arrangement is resorted to; the more subtle kind of dressing is designed to show the quality of goods to be found in the store.
 "A few years ago any employe in a store who showed taste or ingenuity in arranging the goods under his charge was detailed to do some part of the lwindow-dressing and interior decora- ton. Sometimes a member of the firm who had a bent that way picked out i two or three clerks and decked off a | window or two to suit his fancy. Not unfrequently there were no showwin- dows in store at all no matter how | handsome. All that is gone by now. l The decorating department is separate

 Mrs. Gardner Morse entertained again last evening at Harmonic hall in honor of her guests, Miss Marion Cutler of Washington, D. C., Miss Catherine Lat inner of York, Pa, Miss Fitch of Brook lyn, and Miss Edith Allen, and her daughters, Misses Rebecca and Edith Morse.
 The affair took on the nature of 8 small ball Many punches of cut flow CTS and palms decorated the hall, and the many handsome costumes worn by the guests made it truly a brilliant re- ception. There was a large number of dancing men in attendance, and a jolly social time was enjoyed.
 The gray streaks of early dawn were struggling through the windows of Harmonic before the last echoes of Home, Sweet Home" had died in the fiower-scented air, and one of the sea- sons most pleasant social events was ended.
 On Monday afternoon MT. Edwin T. Sears, Yale '9S, will give tea at his apartments in West Divinity for Mrs. Morses house party.

We Want Proof That Our Prices Are Not
 Being Cut.
 If you will furnish us with satisfac- tory proof that any dealer has sold Pearlo- -dento at less than 50 cents Der future and thank you for the informa- tion. Every dealer must sign con tract agreeing not to cut the price. We shall not get into the cutting tanglef if we know 1t:
 We believe in upholding the price of Pearlo-dento the same as we do in maintaining it's high standard. It is worth 50 cents to anybody who wants to take proper care of the teeth. Den lists know this and are assured that we will not cheapen the ingredients. The reaction against inferior, worthless and harmful pastes, liquids, powders and soaps is coming.
 We have refused to cut our price on solutely to wink at a plan by which our price could be cut and we not held re sponsible for it. We have not been tempted by the chances to substitute inferior ingredients and thus make more money. While we do not wish tc get up on a pedestal of perfection our selves, we hope to have the credit ot honest dealing with druggists and the public alike.
 No grit will get into Pearlo-dento be- cause it is cheaper. No pains will be spared to make Pearlo-dento the only ideal dentifrice. Pearlo-dento is the work of a dental surgeon of high stand ing, and he prompts every statement made, concerning 1t. Should we get into public discussion in the press witf other manufacturers, we believe we vii make them climb down from any de fence of such worthless stuff as has been dearly bought heretofore by tht public.
