Mr.. Major, the famous cement man. OF New
York explains some very interestingfac abou.
MAJORS Cement.
The muititudes who use this standard article
know that 1t iH many hundred per cent. better
than other cements for which similar claims are
made, but a great many do not know why. The
simple resson Is that Mr.. Major uses he best
materials ever discovered and other manufac-
tnrers do not use them, because they are 100 ex-
pensive and do not allow large profits. Mr..
Major tells US that one OF the dement's OF his
cement costs @.75 q pound, and another costs
9. o5 q gallon while a large share OF the 20 called
dement's and liquid glae upon the market are
nothing more than sixteen-cent glue, dissolved
q Ester or eitrio scla and A. a0sas sssas, e~l.ered
sngntly IN colof and DOOR BY me addition or cheap
MAJORS cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents q bottle, and when q dealer
tries 70 sell q substitute you can depend upon Il
that his only object IL 70 make large pro1t.
The profit on Majors cement IS as much as
any dealer ought 70 make on any cement. And
this 10 doubly true IL view OF the fact that each
dealer gets his share Of the benefit OF Mr..
MAJORS advertising, which now amounts 10 over
8too 2 month, throughout the country. Es-
Insist on having MAJORS. Don't accept any or
hand advice from a druggist.

The Oregon Lighthouse

Ano1 ne rev YORK So1rnAe
The Oregon election has made clear,
what those familiar with the Situation
knew well enough before, that the
Democracy cannot safely count on any
electoral votes this year from the
Pacific coast. The Pacific States are
for expansion. They have expert
enced too much benefit already from
the growth Of our commerce in the
Orient TO look with favor upon = pol
icy Of retreat in that quarter. They
could have been brought into line
against imperialism, but not when
anti-imperiAlism was represented a.
the same thing as snti-expansIon.
The Republican plurality in this
weeks election in Oregon seems to
have been from 5000 to 10000. In
1895 Mckinley carried the state by
2,1l7. Bryan carried Washington BY
1885, secured one elector in Cali
fornia and came within 2,soO votes OF
getting the other eight. But the Re-
publican majority in Oregon this year
is just about equal to the one Of 1898,
when the Republicans carried Wash
iBgton BY s,11s and California BY 49,
loss.
1t lie evident, therefore, that any
prudent Democratic calculations for
the coming campaign should leave
out Of account the four electoral
votes obtained in 1895 in Washington
and n In California, II not the three
Of Nevada. That makes at least ave
votes 10 be looked for elsewhere, in
addition to the ~fofis-eisat Bryan
lacked Of majority In 1895. In other
words, II Mr.. Bryan is to win this
time he must get At Isast 6ny-three
electoral votes which be did not have
In 1895.
Are those votes to be had?
They are.
All that is necessary is to 60 after
them in the right way.
Kentucky 10 good for twelve Of
them, provided the Democrats there
repeal the Goebel law and give an
assurance Of fair elections.
That leaves forty-one.
New York has thirty-six.
Therefore New York and Connect
cut would do the work with one to
spare, or New York and New Jersey
with ave to spare, or New York and
Maryland with three to spare, or New
York and West Virginia with one to
spare.
Always New YORK.
Let the Democrats carry New York
and they viii pick up electoral votes
enough elsewhere in the East to make
them safe, nj matter how many they
lose in the far West.
Let them lose New York, and, az
the Oregon election shows, they are
gone.
These considerations cannot be
overlooked by levelheadsd political
mathematician who are in politics to
win. They can hardly fall to have
some influence upon the construction
Of the platform on which the Demo-
Gratis Of New York, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and West
Virginia are TO make their gallant
effort to wipe out the plurality Of
457 ,O47 that was piled up against them
four years ago.

REDUCTION OF DIVIDEND.

New York. Jan. 10-President Have
meyers report to the stockholders of
the American Sugar Refining company
to-day forecasts reduction in the next
dividend While intimating that he
spoke as an individual director Mr..
Havemeyer said: ST am very sure that
when the duty of determining the
amount of dividend is imposed upon the
directors they will take into careful con-
sideration the reduction in profits which
has resulted from the policy which has
been pursued
The stockholders approved the fol-
lowing resolution agreed to by the direc-
tors yesterday: THAT the accumulated
profits, less the dividend which has been
declared, up to this time, including the
dividend of January 2, 1900, be reserved
as working capital, less such amount as
the directors see fit from time to time
to declare as dividends"
