Ii You are discussing a CHECKER
rug piano there is an emphatic
4 answer.
No matter what YOUR age rest
assured the piano will outlive you.
There is no one living who has
4 ever purchased Chickering piano
AND WORN IT OUT.
Think of the number of child
ren today practising upon Chick
4 erlng pianos purchased by their
grandparents.
There are thousands of Chicken
ing pianos SO purchased and so
used.
Perhaps they are not as good as
they were so or 60 OF 10 years ago,
put the marvel is that they are in
use at all.
The majority of pianos by other
makers are worn out in third the
period.
These are simple Chickering

A REPUBLICAN VIEW

The Argonaut, which has always been
a staunch Republican paper, in it's issue
of the 26th irst. says:
When the Dingley tariff bill went to
the senate Sugar trust certificates sold
at u.s.
When the Dingley tariff bill came
out of the Republican senate caucus
Sugar trust certificates sold at 125.
When the Dingley tariff bill went into
the hands of the conference committee
Sugar trust certificates sold at 127.
While the Dingley tariff bill was in
the hands of the conference committee
Sugar trust certificates sold at 1873.
When the Dingley tariff bill was re-
ported on favorably by the conference
committee Sugar trust stock jumped UP
to 146A.
Sugar trust certificates have in
creased in value over $50 900, 900 in few
months as direct result of the legis-
lation of the present congress.
To the sugar trust the advance agent
of prosperity" has already arrived, and
to how many more trusts his arrival has
been signified will be known only as
time discloses. The enactment of the
tariff law has refunded to large num-
Der the contributions made to the Hanna
campaign fund.- but there is still another
class of contributors who are seeking
remuneration through monetary legis-
lation. When the money program Is dis
posed of may we not hope that some thing
will be done for the benefit of the bSd !
of the people?
1t is said that on one occasion a mem
Der of the Pennsylvania legislature ap-
proved a resolution for final adjourn
ment if Tom Scott had no more business
before it. If the trusts and those who
seek special favors will hurry up and get
through with their business the country
will feel greatly obliged.

THE PEOPLE AND POLITICS

The Los Angeles Herald puts in as
many hours day doing national poll
tics as though we were in the throes of
national campaign. What makes it all
the more exasperating is that the Her.
aid still pirates of Bryan as though that
pyrotechnic individual was not thor
oughly and comfortably dead to the
political world. By jove, if this thing
keeps up we may have to elect the fell
low to get rid of him.-San Pedro Amer
lean.
The American exaggerates. The Her
aid is devoting considerable attention tc
national politics because even though
it be an off year, the conditions and the
influences that now dominate our finap-
cial and industrial fortunes are such 5
to injure rather than assist them.
Ard the American should reflect that
individuals or newspapers who are the
arbiters and moulders of public opinion.
That the people are taking such an
unusual interest in. political matters at
this time is an indication that they are
aroused to a sense of the dangers that
threaten them ard that they are already
casting about for means of relief.
1t is hardly necessary since Mr.. Bry-
ans visit to the Pacific coast to argue
the question of that gentleman's polit-
lcal decease. 1t is far more to the point
to take seriously the Americans jocula.

GREAT TREASURY SECRETARIES

The most distinguished of the many
who have presided over the treasury de-
partment, stated in the order of incum-
bency, We're Alexander Hamilton, AL
bert Gallatin William j. Crawford, Rob-
ert ]. Walker and Salmon p Chase
Though some of Hamilton's views
were opposed at the time, and have since
been combated, it is conceded that he
displayed much ability in organizing the
department, and possessed unusual
grasp of mind. On the banking question
he was inclined to follow the British
method. While some of his ideas have
been discarded, a good deal of his work
still remains
Gallatin was in office during the dis
turbed period which Immediately pre-
| coded the second war with Great Brit
ain, and he encountered serious difficult
ties, but he managed affairs with sig
nal ability.
Crawford presided over the depart
ment during period of great business
depression. condition which is apt to
succeed the imitation of prices caused by
war, and he managed affairs so accept
ably that a considerable body of his
countrymen thought he was worthy and
deserving of the presidency
Walker was fiscal secretary during the
war with Mexico, and gained an envla-
BILE reputation, which has not been i'm
paired by time.
Chase had more difficult task than
any who preceded or succeeded him, and
the measures he instituted enabled the
government to maintain itself financially
in the greatest of wars
All these great secretaries had a lust
conception of the needs of the time and
their measures were adapted to the
times. Neither of them was a banker
or experienced in large business enter
prises. They studied conditions in a
broader field than is afforded within the
walls of bank or counting house. Their
views covered the wants of the whole
people and not those of any special in
terest In some things they may have
misjudged, but not on account Of mar
rowmindedness.
The only man who has previously been
secretary of the treasury and who was a
prominent banker was Hugh McCulloch
and he inaugurated the business Of con-

The Delicate Wine of Elderberry

Most people know something of elder
berry wine, but there are not so many
who know of the wine made from the
blossom of the elderberry. 1t is very
delicate. The number of blossoms re-
quired to make it is enormous. Two
young women who do a great many
dainty things in the way of cooking
made some of this elderberry flower
wine one year. They gathered great
quantities of the blossoms and expected
to have a generous supply of the wine.
The result, after considerable labor, not
counting that of gathering the flowers,
was one pint of wine. But fairies might
drink such delicate nectar.
The Danish people make soup OF
elderberries. The berries are boiled
long time, and the mixture is then
strained through cloth or fine strainer,
