ger of its being OverdOne.
A GLANCEat the advertising columns
of the CHRONICLE will remind us that
the Joyous Christmast time is at hand,
and The merchants of Milford are ready
TO aid in making the happiness gen
eral. There are many who have never
yet realized the happiness of this uni
versal observance of this great Christ
mas anniversary. 1t may be that they
have not had the opportunity 10 know,
or have never been taught the joy of
unbendiAg from the rigid affairs Of life
and celebrating the anniversary of the
Christian religion. If there be such,
we invite them to Milford, aud especial
ly during the next three weeks, when
the people are preparing for the Obser-
vance of Christmas. In not another
town on this peninsula is there so much
holiday business done. TO prove this
we point to the stores where tons Of
holiday goods have been placed on dis
play, where the people come, inspect
and buy; where the people seem to ap-
preciate the work of the merchants in
making it possible for them to have al
these advantages of shopping and open
nm to them what the great outside
world is enjoying, and to which they
oould not have access without great
expenditure of time and money IN
travel. Milford is the Mecca for Christ
mas shoppers in lower Delaware, and
this has been made so by themerchants
who have advertised literally aud
truthfully, and thereby gained the re-
sr-yt and confidence of The people

A STRENUOUS PosTMlsTREss.

A small town In Texas is in trouble,
and all on account Of her postmis-
tress. The government al Washing,
ton Is also on the anxious seat over
the unusual situation. The aforesaid
postmistress insists on enforcing on
all who enter the portals OF the Office
certain rules OF etiquette which have
not proven entirely satisfactory ID the
public. The sheriff Of the county ex.
plains the matter IN the following let
ter to Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow, who is doubtless cap
able Of handling the difficulty.
we don't set up any claim that our
manners are all they should be. bur
we'd like to be reasoned with and
helped along. The postmistress here
is a worthy woman, all right, and
there amt a thing against her charac-
ter, but she certainly is rude and
hasty One day last week the mayor,
being some flushed up and careless,
refused to remove his hat and bow
on asking for the Official mail, where.
upon his hat was shot of and plumb
ruined, and he left the postofice SC
swiftly and nndignifcd that 1t told
against the standing OF the town"
There's another thing we don't
think is fair. The postmistress won
let niggcrs and greasers come In thu
Office under any consideration, We
ain't overload Of niggers and greasers
ourselves, but 1t Is sure discommod
ing for the leading citizens TO have e
go to the p~ostofice personally to gel
the mail, Just because this lady don't
like to sec anything but a gentleman
We don't like TO appear fanltfndine
Sad "picayunish where a lady Is con
cerned. but this one I'm telling about
Is sure arbitrary and abrupt, and wed
like 70 have her toned down some"

department has been ordered 10 the

GROVER CLEVELAND SPEAK

~ IL maay months since the Brook
llyn Eagle launched the boom for
Grover Cleveland as the standard
bearer Of The democratic party In the
coming election. This suggestion at
first received with hesitancy by the
democratic press had gradually grown
In favor with the conservative ele-
ment In the party until It babe fair TO
dominate In the coming convention.
During all these months the person
most concerned maintained a discreet
and %-conMnittal silence. Many
wondered what was moving In the
mind Of the old democratic war horse
hut no one could predict with any de-
gree OF assurance what would be his
attitude. AT last he has spoken and
the democratic party knows he Is TO
be taken at his word. The following
letter from MIR. Cleveland 10 the editor
OF the Eagle was published by that pa
per on Saturday.

Ny Dear McKelway:

feeling toward ME on the part 81 my
countrymen which your initiative has
brought out. Your advocacy In the

and IL has been seconded IL such man.

nietlng thoughts Of gratitude and duty
have caused NJ 10 hesitate as 70 the
time and manner OF a declaration on
my part concerning the subject-if
such a declaration should Z neccs,

In the midst ~ Il all. and In full
Wow Of every consideration presented,

New York cotton Futures.
cothran 6. co.'e Cotton Letter.
By Gilbert & Cray


 New York. August l-Rains of consid- erable proportions were reported in the northern section of the cotton belt west of the Mississippi river, while the Atlan- tic states had showers. The Chronicle weather reports for the week stated that correspondents generally reported an im- provement in the crop, but rains were needed in the Carolinas. Since that re- port was made up the Carolinas have re- ceiyed fine rains of anywhere from half an inch to three inches, and the com plaints are, therefore, a little anticipated. There was no Liverpool market today, and as result the prices moved around rather languidly at the start without any important change. At the opening there was a decline of few points and later on a slight recovery. There was appar- ently more interest In what the govern ment report is to show on Monday than in the course of prices. Several holders were inclined to get out of this cotton on the theory that the improvement might be greater than expected. At the same time there was short covering on the op- posite theory. Between the two the mar ket did not make very much progress It will require a condition of about 80 to bring about much of break in the mar ket. and 1t hardly seems possible that the
