Letter to J. II. Day.
Emporium, Pa.

Dear Sir: You sell a good many
things by the gallon. Being decent
man, you give full measure.
You know what we mean; you know
that short weight and short measure
are common among-well, we hope
there are no short measures and weights
in your town.
There are, though. Ribbons and
laces and trimmings, sold by the "doz-
en-" measure nine or ten yards. There
is no complaint, because "they all do
it." You have the same plague in your
goods-nearly everything canned or
bottled, cheats in the quantity. AL
most nobody gives full weight in a
factory package!
We are one of the almost nobodies.
We sell paint, by the gallon, to paint
your house; and our gallon is Just the
same size as yours that you measure
vinegar with-231 cubic inches.
Good paint too-Devoe lead and zinc
wears twice as long as old-fashion
painters paint-lead and oil.
You own a honse. That's why we
are writing to you.
Yours truly,
81 f. w. DEVOE & Co.

Miss Ethel Bars school closed last

is an excellent young lady.
Wonder what all that loud talking in
Williams field, last Thursday night
meant? Had it been earlier in the
week might have thought it thunder
If some of our people who pretend to
be such good christians would do more
praying and less talking we would have
less disturbance in our neighborhood.

Possibly Great Britain may find that
South Africa is sort of gold brick af-
ter all. Certainly, it can hardly be
worth what it has already cost.
Mr. Ripley of Kentucky has been ac-
quilted, the jury evidently being of the
opinions that his was merely plain
case OF too much CAB.
a Methodist minister has protested
against the admittance of ministers to
sick rooms, saying that their solemn
countenances usually cause relapses in
the patients. Shouldn't wonder if this
were So
The British bonds sold readily at 81
at the same time, however, American
bonds essentially similar were selling
for 112, this difference measuring with
sufficient accuracy the variation be-
tween the credit Of the two countries.
The much talked-of commercial war
of Europe against the United States is
almost inevitable sooner or later if we
go on invading their markets and tax
ing away their trade. Self preserva-
tion will compel it, Starvation Will

A physician there has sent in bill of
$4,000 for attending millionaire in

what he wouldn't have charged if he
had saved him.
Republicans will do we'll to take to

maud for the abolition of the tariff on

they can BE- abroad. This is likely

Filth, it has been proved, does not
cause yellow fever directly. 1t does
serve, however, to breed mosquitoes
which do propagate the disease. There
fore, the abolition of the filth goes a
long way towards eradicating the evil.
But destruction of mosquitoes would go
q good deal further.
British farmers are kicking because
their government buys it's horses in the
United States instead of at home. The

farms cannot begin to supply the de-
mand without absolutely denuding the

Naturally, in adopting and defending
principles at variance with those held
by the bulk of his party, Senator Nc
Laurin must have expected opposition.
His opponents, however, do themselves
no credit by making coarse personal
attacks on him and letting his argu-
ments pass unanswered. But perhaps
that is the best they can do.

Columbia s. C. June 5.-Decidedly the
most sensational development in the
Senatorial tangle in this State is a let
ter which Governor McSweeney sent to
Governor informed Senator Tillman that
IF he still wishes to resign and will
send to this office an unconditional resig-
nation / will exercise the authority and
power vested in me by the people"
This means that the Governor will ac-
cept Senator Tillman's resignation if it
shall be formulated on that line. The
letter is as follows:
Sir: Your letter to June 1st has been
received. l have carefully noted its con-
tents and the most charitable ivew which
/ can take of it is that it was written
in the heat of passion and without due
consideration. | note that you say that
l have transcribed my authority and
that the Governor cannot compel men,
Der of the United States Senate to hold
his commission and exercise the func-
tions of that office if he chooses to sur
render it. And that you decline for the
present to withdraw your resignation
l'aa vnu read carefully my letter ad-
dressed to you and Senator McLaurin
you must have seen that l did not ex-
press any desire to compel a member
of the United States Senate to hold his
commission and exercise the functions of
that office if he choose to surrender it.
My sole purpose in returning the resig-
nations was to ask you gentlemen to
consider calmly and thoughtfully the
consequences to the people of what l
judged to be a hasty act and what you
admit to have been a hasty act and l
must confess that / am somewhat sur
prised at the tone of your answer to my
request. / considered the course which
Itook in this matter to be for the best
interest of the people of South Caro-
lima and | am responsible to them alone
for my action and furthermore I still
believe that my course has met the APP
proval of a majority of the citizens of the
State; nor do / consider them UNTHINK-
ING CITIZENS but men who know and
recognize and recognize as fully as any
people on earth the rights and duties and
responsibilities of citizenship and who do
not need the services of anyone to tell
them their duty. Your insinuation that
] have been importuned' to await the
convenience of any present or would be
aspirants who are not just yet ready for
various reasons to enter the contest
brought on SO unexpectedly and that for
this reason my action has taken the di-
rection it has is unworthy of man
holding the high commission which has
been given you by the people of South
Carolina and deserves no notice in this
connection. However, | may say for your
