SENATOR PETTUs
,tsyiiie Mercury.

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 The newspapers have been talking aoouI the coming Senatorial race just enough to bring out the fact that Senator Peftus is very near to the hearts of the people. Though we'll advanced in years, the junior Senator is vigorous and promises to out live many younger men now associated with him in the Senate. If Senator Pet tus asks a reelection it is clear that the younger men will find him difficult to de- feat.

SOME RESIDENCES OF
 BEAUTIFUL BIRMINGHAM

Fear of sudden death at the hands of outraged readers would restrain any re- spectable newspaper worker from writing that hackneyed, meaningless, tiresome phrase "city of homes." When a writer doesn't know what else to say about a town that is absolutely without attrac- tions he swings off with "a city of homes.' That phrase has made Philadelphia the subject of every cheap wit in America; as

President Mckinley g letter of ac-
ceptance published yesterday is
strong letter and shows much care in
its production. He touches briefly
upon the many questions that have
come up in the campaign, but devotes
his letter mainly to the money ques-
ton and our occupation of the Philip
pines. There has been no time since
we occupied them, he says that we
could have withdrawn honorably. He
meets the charge of Imperialism pre-
ferred by the Bryanites, and shows not
only that there is no danger or thought
of imperialism, but that there is no
place for it in the Republican party
which by its work is beyond all ques-
ton shown itself to be the party of
liberty. From beginning to end it
presents the Republican side of the
campaign in strong manner and
statesmanlike way.

MR.. GIRVIN APPOINTED.

In accordance with the recommends
ton of Postmaster Hunt, Mr.. James
Fl. Girvin has been appointed perma-
nent letter carrier, to date from Octo
Der list. The formal notice of his ap-
pointment was received Tuesday. Mr..
Girvin has been employed as sub
stitute letter carrier for less than two
years and his promotion is due to the
considerate action of the postofice de-
partment in granting Mankato an ad-
ditional carrier.
There being no eligibles on the civil
service roster from which to choose a
substitute carrier to take the place of
Mr.. Girvin, the temporary appoint
ment of ---Lobdell has been recon-
mended to take effect the 10Th inst. A
civil service examination was recently
held for this branch of the service, but
no returns have yet been received from
the commission as to the standing of
the applicants, of whom Mr.. Lobdell
was one.

GERMANS NOT FOOLED.

Congressman Bartholdi, of st. Louis,
leading German, who has been max
ing inquiries through all portions OF
the middle states as to the truth in the
statements of the Bryanites that the
Germans would desert Mckinley this
year, says there is nothing in the
statements whatever, but that they
will vote for Mckinley as they did in
1885, The Communications, he
says, are an intelligent people, and
they take no stock in Bryan's pipe
dreams about militarism and imperial
ism. OF the situation in Wisconsin
and Missouri, he says:
SIN Milwaukee l had conference
with some Of the leading German
Republicans of Wisconsin, every one
of whom was enthusiastic over the
political outlook. They say that the
Democratic cry of anti-imperialism
will have no effect on the German
vote and German Republicans are in
sympathy with McKinley's policy.
ST look to see largeRepublican gains
in Missouri, if not victory. Mr..
Flory, Republican candidate for COVER
nor is very prominent in labor circles
and man much admired by the peo-
pie in general. The recent street car
strike in St. Louis will hurt the Demo
cratic party, and while 1 do not wish
to go on record as saying that the
state will go Republican, l would not
be at all surprised if it did.
SIN st. Louis the Germans, as a
rule, take little stock in the hue and
cry about an ti-imperialism. They do
not consider it a Serious question, con-
sequentIy it is cutting little figure in
the campaign.
During the last few months have
travelled quite extensively over the
country My travels have thrown
me into the society of some of the
leading Germans, and have yet to
learn of any dissatisfaction existing
among them as to the policy of the
administration.

COSTLY HABITS
Goods Taken By People, Amount to Hum
dreds of Dollars Each Year.

One of our leading grocery mer-
chants handed us the following clip
ping taken from the Winona Republi-
can of recent tate, which case applies
to people of Mankato as we'll as per-
haps to most every city in the union.
The article reads as follows:
sit is estimated that the grocers of
this city lose several hundred dollars
each year by customers and visitors at
their stores picking up and eating or
carrying away fruit and other articles
of a like kind. 1t is a habit that is
practiced universally and there seems
to be no way by which to stop it.
" No one, unless it is store keeper,
said a well known grocer today,
knows Of the amount that the grocer
loses in a year in this manner Pos
sibly one individual does not take more
than could be purchased for ten or
fifteen cents in a years time, but
when you multiply that by the dozens
of people who are afflicted with the
habit, and that total again by the
number of stores in the city, you will
have figures that will really surprise
you.
There are men, women and chill
dren who come into this store several
times week who never go out with
out taking an apple, or few peanuts,
or some small thing that in itself
amounts to practically nothing. The
article is so small that the store keeper
could not speak of it without giving
the impression that he was very
mean man. But in the aggregate the
amount is very large and many gro
Ger sees nice, fair profit filched away
from him in this manner
4" The fruit season is the bogy time
of the year for the men who deal in
it. Peaches, pears, apples, grapes, and,
in fact, fruit of any kind cannot be
openly exposed on the counters or
along the sidewalks because of the
amount that will be deliberately
stolen. If customer of a dry goods
store were to cut off a piece of dress
goods or half a yard of ribbon it
would be considered larceny and an
arrest would be likely to follow. can
not see any difference between that
and taking an equal amount of fruit
from grocer. 1t all represents just so
much money to the dealer.
g L have watched this very closely
in my store and think that I am
making a conservative estimate when
1 say that my loss in this manner
amounts to about ten cents per day. If
we take five cents per day as the aver
age loss of each grocer in the city in
this manner it will be seen that the
total loss of all the grocers in the city
in year is over $1,000. Some me-
thod should be adopted to prevent this
leakage of profits, but it is hard
matter to get at "

remarks that twon't help Bryan much
but will re-instate Olney in the. Demo

be noted that the Gold Democrats who
have gone over to the support of Bryan,

1t is said the Democratic leaders are
becoming alarmed at the manner in
which the people are treating their
paramount issue of Imperialism, and
are trying to induce Bryan to shift
again and talk about trusts. They have
shifted him from silver and now with
the campaign fairly on they want to
shift him again. And they will want
to shift from trusts before the cam
paign ends. With their record of
voting with the trusts in the house on
the proposed constitutional amend
ment they will not find that a very
profitable issue.
