Last week’s purchase of Dry Goods and Shoes made by me in Baltimore, tfew York and Boston was immense. And why ? This is easily guessed. Cheap was the
chief cause. Many a Jobber of Dry Goods, over-crowded, were compelled to unload to realize the hard dollars, Who in this country ever had the pluck and courage
to go to the East at this time of the Summer season in search of Bargains ? MAX JOSEPH, does not fail to invest his h*rd cash when such Grand Bargains are offer

A SHI NOTON
May 83,1891 Mr.
Harrison isn’t
living up to the
reputation given
him by bis son
Russell’s paper.
If he is the brains
as well as the
bead of the ad-
m i n i s t r ation.
why doesn’t be take condition before
the Department of State ? Mr. Blaine’s
absence could not have been better
timed if it bad been previously arranged
—which it may have been—to gi e Mr.
Harrison an opportunity to show the
country that Mr. Blaine has been noth
ing more than a clerk to him. But the
gentleman from Indiana is too shrewd
to give himself away; he finds the mat
ters pertaining to the other departments
so pressing that be informed Mr.
Blaine’s assistant, who carried a big
bundle of papers to the White House,
that be was so busy that be would defer
foreign matters for a few days. In the
mean time be is probably praying that
Mr. Blaine will return before th< se pa
pers are again brought to him.
If Mr. Blaine should take it into biB
bead to go away on tbe sick list, or to.
resign entirely oh tbe ground of ill
health, it would not take long for those
now ignorant on that subject to discov
er wbo has furnished tbe brain lor this
administration.
Mr. Wanamakeris fathering a scheme
that for ' pure unadulterated “gall”
surpasses anything in tbe bistory of tbe
republican party, and that’s saying a
make ten
good deal. He wants to
reotions under the mail subsidy act of
the last Congress. Of course that in
volves the ultimate expenditure of
many millions of dollars, while the hp-
propriation made, which was for only
one year, was $2,500,000. Mr. Harri
son approves of the scheme, and in or
der to give it a better aspect the ques
tion has been referred to the Attorney-
General for an opinion as to whether
the Postmaster-General has a .legal
right to make contracts to run ten
years. Of course he will decide that
he has, and then the country will have
the pleasure of seeing forty or fifty mil
lions of its money placed where • it will
help to renominate and re-«l ct Mr
Benjamin Harrison. Whatever other
people may think Mr. Harrison doesn’t
think that he made ^mistake in- put
ting John Wanamaker at the head of
tbe postofliefe
Another little scheme of Mr. Wana-
makc-r’s was tbe establishment of a reg
ular mail service to Alaska and tbe
awarding ofothe contract for carrying
the mails to the North American Com
mercial company, whose steamers have
to go there anyway, and whose business
makes probably ninety-nine hundredths
of tbe mail to and from there. Thi-
company didn’t make any money tak
ing seals last year, and the administra
tions sympathizes with it to the extent
of an entirely unnecessary mail contract.
A party of prominent democrats were
gathered in the parlor of a private resi
dence one evening this week, and al
though tbe circiims'anccs preclude the
use of Dames, the conversation was too
interesting at times to be entirely lost,
so 1 reproduce a portion of it herewith
“Did you know”, asked a Southern
Senator, that the Florence, South Caro
lina Times, had run up the name of
Wsde Hampton for Vice President?
“Wish we could get him there”, said
a Western Representative.
“I join heartily with you”, said an
Eastern Representative, “and 1 cau tell
y ou how it can be done.”
“How?” asked everybody in chorus.
“Well, you see," be teplied. “Thb
democratic party has three great prizes
to distribute, the Presidency, the Vice
Presidency, and the Speaker of the*
House of Representatives. Now you
all know that I am not in favor of
sectionalism in any form, and yet I
recognize tbe fact that the country is
almost certain to be geographically

of these great prizes will go to the

say thit that isn’t an e quitable method
of distribution. All the South bas got
to do it it wants a place upon tbe na
tional ticket is to let the Speakership' go

“A bird in tbe hand,” laughed a
Southern Representative wbo is in the
line of Speakership lightning himself.
• “But havegou got it in the hand?”
retorted the Eastern man.
“You-just. wait and see,” said the
Southerner.
“How I should like to see Wade pre
side over the Senate,” said a senator
who had been an interested listener,
“but if he was nominated wouldn’t the
Farmers’ Alliance in the Southern
states defeat tbe ticket aa they did' him
for the Senate?”
“That’s aside of the*question that
has not incurred to me,” said tbe gen
tleman who started the conversation,
“but I would not fear to wager all I
possess that a national ticket with Wade

Rev- J. B. Culpepper, the celebrated
evangelist who pitches bis tent in Ath

good preaching aSl over the state.
Besides his meetings in Atlanta, now
going on, the city of Columbus bas
been stirred considerably by his revival.
The Wesleyan Christian Advocate
says concerning the Columbus meet-
have just closed a revival meeting
here in Columbus, of five weeks dura
lion. The meeting began in St. Paul
Church, and continued in the chureh
about two weeks, when Brethren Cul
pepper, Williams and Tillman earn*
with the g>eat gospel tent. We stretch
ed tbe tent on 13th street, between 3d
and 4th avenues, just in the rear of St.
Paul church.
The congregations were good. Some
times tbe great tent itself could not
furnish sitting room for the crowds
that attended the services. The preach
ing was plain, pointed, direct; and it
was attended with a great deal of pow
er. Bro.Culpepper’s sermons are his
own. He is peculiarly himself

It was a big sale and went to enter
