ments the entries were fewer. Among
the St. Johnsbury exhibitors in the floral

record Of 2.16h, was on the ground the
last day, stopping over a train on his

and New Hampshire, and made an exhi'
bition half mile much to the pleasure OIL

The "Old Bee Hive" of Burlington COM
mences advertising in the CALIFORNIAN
this week. The history of this store is
almost a part OF the city in which it is
located. The business itself was estab-
lshed in 1854, while the name THE Old
Bee Hive" was adopted in 1862. 1t has
grown steadily with the city and ranks
today as the foremost store in the state.
Its departments number overtwenty and
everything to be found in the largest dry
goods stores of our great cities can be
purchased there. Our former townsman
Lyman P. Wood has recently become a
partner in this business and it is safe to
say that any business intrusted to him
will receive the best attention. Know
ing we'll the wants Of the people in this
section he will give his personal attention
to all orders from this side of the state.
The custom OF the Bee Hive TO pay ex.
press charges on all purchases of $3.50
and over has built up an immense mai
order business and this privilege will o.
course be allowed here. Samples OF all
goods are sent on request and any good:
so desired on approval.
1t is by this broad and liberal treat
ment oil its customers added to the fact
that the Bee Hive handles only frst-clas
goods at the lowest consistent price,
that has made the business what it i

MEXICO's SILVER FOLLY.

Dispatches from Mexico continue to show
men of that country are very uneasy over
the continued decline of silver and anxious
about the future of the country. 1t has
been claimed over and over again by the
advocates of free silver in this country
that Mexico is prospecting as it never did
before, and that one effect of its silver
standard was to greatly reduce foreign inn
ports and stimulate home production. In
other words, while admitting that the sill
yer standard placed Mexico at a disadvan-
tage in its dealings with other countries,
they claimed that it had a good effect on
Mexican domestic industries. Mexico has
comparatively little to do with other coun-
tries, but as it's foreign relations extend
the disadvantages of the silver standard
will become more and more apparent. A
dispatch from Mexico City, dated the 18th
inst, said: Exchange on New York rose
to-day on the fresh drop in silver to. $1.3
and in some cases $140 was asked" At
that ruinous rate of exchange the less bus
mess Mexico has with the outside world
the better Yet the interest on MeXico's
bonds held in London has to be paid in
gold, at a loss of 100000 a year. The
government can meet this loss by econo-

MAYORALTY OF INDIANAPOLIS.

The mayoralty campaign in indianapolis

complete failure of the government of the

The nomination of Hon. William Newton
Harding to be mayor of Indianapolis by
the Republican convention was most ex-

not only in Indianapolis but throughout the
State. Mr. Harding's high character and in
tegrlty will assure clean administration
OF municipal affairs, so far as he can con-
troll and influence decentralization Courier
The race for the mayoralty at Indian
apolis will be battle royal. Tom Taggart
and Newt Harding pitted against each other
are two of kind" and a great pair to
draw to-" They both command the con-
tdence and respect of the conservative
people, and yet both are high flyers in the
liberal element. The boys and the brew
cries will fare as well at the hands of one
as the other-Anderson Bulletin.
Had indianapolis the right kind of Repub-
licans they would elect Newt. Harding
mayor of that city next October. but as it
is the result is in doubt. Indianapolis has
a surplus of alleged Republican voters who
have been supporting Tom Taggart simply
because he was a good fellow" Tom has
way of gracefully wrapping his arms
about these fellows and leading them into a

that is, he thinks he has. The present
administration being Democratic it has
naturally become mixed somewhat in
finances and increased the city's indebted

clared for a more business-like administra-
ton of affairs. for the honest and fair en-
forcement of all laws; for the popular side
or the street-car fight; for cheaper water
and telephone rates, and Endorsed the re-
ducuon in the price of gas. Mr.. Harding

is very popular and the campaign promises
to be lively one. Indianapolis is naturally
