THE UNION greets its readers
this week enlarged to five columns,
eight pages. 1t has been the wish
of the present management to make
this change for some time, we'll
knowing that the paper was not
giving satisfaction, but owing to
many things that need not be re-
hearsed to our readers the change
was impossible until this time.
The present management of The
UNION was not responsible for cut
ting down the size of the paper
last fall, and has deplored the fact
that it had to be run that way for
some time.
However, we shall give the read
r of the UNION a good paper in
the future and keep up a hot fight
along the lines pursued by US in
the past.

NOTHING LIKE PRINTERS INK.

g Once Induced James Gordon Bennett
to Raise = Pressman's Salary.
James Gordon Bennett is very or
ratio in his movements. He ''drops in"
upon his branch offices in Paris or
London without any notice being
sent Of his coming, and delights tc
surprise the clerks by overhauling
their books AID examining their ac-
counts. On one Of these occasions
n of the pressmen. a man who had
worked for the elder Bennett, and
vas an excellent workman. though
guilty Of an occasional Ia, >se from
sobriety, had a bad black eye and was
IN a ~quandarv as to what excuse he
should offer if Mr.. Bennett noticed it.
Acting on a sudden inspiration lie
seized an ink roller and rubbed a
daub of ink on the side of his face
completely concealiny the discolora-
ton of the skin. Presently Mr.. Ben
nett came into the pressroom. and
with the superintendent, John Hays.
went carefully through, criticising
avery detail, and looking sharply at
each employee. When about to leave
ne turned suddenly, and, pointing to
the besmirched pressman, he said:
"Mr. Hays, what is that mans
oame?"
The c"lprit quaked in his shoe.
Until Mr.. Bennett said, slowly:
II want you to give that man SO per
week more wages; he is the only man
in the Don who looks as if he had
been working"

THE TIDE N

The municipal elections through
out the central states last week
show a remarkable change of sen
timent since last November and
clearly indicate that the tide of
popular opinion has changed to-
ward the restoration of silver.
Republicans deny this, but no one
expected them to admit it. The
fact remains the same, however,
regardless of all denials. Does the
election Of Carter Harrison, as
mayor Of Oh eago, with over 90, 900
plurality mean nothing when we
remember the great republican ma
jority given by that city a few
months ago? Does this annihila-
ton Of the republican forces in the
city Of Cincinnati mean nothing
when we recall the ID, DOC majority
given for republicanism last year?
Does the wiping out of the repub-
liean city government at Canton,
Ohio-the home of the boasted
"advance agent of prosperity
mean that no change of sentiment
has taken place? Does the demol-
ish'ng of republicanism in its own
strongholds indicate that popular
opinion is the same as it was when
It rolled up a big majority for Nc
klnley last November? Does it in
dlcate that 'sthe silver craze is
dying out?" Republicans, along
with eveiy body else know full we'll
what it means. 1t is a singing re-
Duke to repub'icanism at the first
opportunity given. 1t means that
the republican party won it's last
victory last November by coercion
and false promises. 1t means that
the tide has turned toward bimetal-
ism and prosperity and will next
year place the crown of victory
upon hal principle. 1t means
that the great masses have seen
through the gauzy promises of a
plutocratlc party to restore pros.
perity, and stand ready to admin
lister a singing rebuke to those who
have betrayed their trust and sold
