CA poor young man fell in love with

could not marry the rich candy lady's

for the muster out of the Fourth Ten
nessee regiment was quickly assigned.
Col. Leroy Brown, of the command,
was seen today and said that May IL
had been fixed upon as the day for the
discharge of the regiment. The mus
tering officers of the regular army who
will attend to the details of the muster
out of the Tennesseans have not yet
been named. Two will serve for the
command, that being the number that
customarily has the discharge of a
regiment in hand. The records of the
companies have not yet been looked
over by regular officers, but Col. Brown
believes there will be no difficulty
found in getting the regiment out of
service by the time named.

Some Advertising Thinklets.

Advertising brings prosperity to hon
or; to dishonor it brings punishment.
Many good ad has been spoiled be-
cause the writer of it stopped to think,
The public has never been known to
study out the meaning of ambiguous ad.
Something is wrong with the man
who advertises 'the best goods" in the
poorest mediums.
There are forms of publicity that are
less beneficial to business man than
complete oblivion.
The average American loves to be
humbugged, but he objects to being
swindled. Mark the distinction.
Circulars are seldom read by people
who have not been previously interes-
ted in the article advertised.
The advertising of advertising medi-
ums is received with more confidence if
the writer cofnes himself to medium
statements.

party IN 1900, for which Sterling wants
to have his bag ready to catch the re-
publican,goldbugs gs. Chandler and among
them are working, 1t will be refresh
ing to hear republicans rating the 200
cent gold dollar and lauding the so
cent silver dollar, and our own Walter
will be in great shape to claim ithas all
come about because he has been able to
bring the republican party round to his
silver views. Great is Walter Down
with the banks and loan associations!
But in all and after all it may do the
great majority little good. j. Sterl-
ing's new goldbug party will have
greatly the advantage against three sill
yer parties, republican, democratic and
populist, and he may say, when thieves
fall out the honest banker gets his dues
Where will we be at in that great day?
Sterling says his party is to be econ
servative," )" as becomes party born in
dog-days. Indeed it would be very
unsafe to run into any sort of extrava-
gance while the weather was so hot.
The Conservatism" is no doubt based
on the sound principle that the money
trust as organized by the monetary
commission bill is all the trust the peo-
pie can afford to indulge in and will be
able to stand up under, and on the fact
that if the money lender gets what he
wants he don't care whether the manu-
facturer and great commercial andtrans-
portation corporations get anything or
not, would rather not, for he wants all
the spoils himself. Too many cooks
spoil the broth. Sterling's proposition
to limit the despoilers of the majority
to the bankers and other money lend
ers and creditors has the true conserva-
tive ring, and is quite an improvement
on those who would tnrn the whole
present republican outfit loose on the
people.
But when money lenders, as repre-
sented by the new party, goes back or
manufacturing, commercial and trans
portation trusts, these will go back or
the money trust, and insist that they
alone shall despoil the people. BY
that time the majority, seeing this un
seemly scramble for what they have
may conclude the whole trust business
is nuisance, if not O downright con
spiracy to rob them. But we couldn'
say about the majority; there ha'
always been enough of these, who ap
parently enjoy being gored, to keep a
least the money trust in power unde
goldbug democracy, and the whole out
fit under goldbug republicanism. Th'
majority seems loath to throw off tn
"white mans burden" and will no
perhaps be content until the same bur
den has been imposed on the black ant
brown man in Cuba and the Philip
pines. At least it does not muster vi
enough courage and common sense t,
say, come down off that and give us
rest. f. J. Ripley.
