No doubt he will capture the col

A Boston man suggest s that the

Boston man.

the markets of this country.
The democrats are making an
other change in the tarilf, as a sub
stitute for the Mills Bill, by put
ting other articles of trade on the
free list.
A telegram states that JohnL.
Sullivan is out of danger, Some
of the fellows in his vicinity who
have been talking about him will
wish that they were out of danger.
The October election is over.
All the counties in the state, who
had nominees in the field, elected

The yellow lever is still getting
in its deadly work in Jackson and

Congressman Kelly of Pennsjd

He knows its possibilities—where
in its success lays.
The young man who threw two
rotten eggs at Senator Blair dur
ing his speech at Charloftsville,
Va , was fined ten dollars. The in
cident helped the senator! Such a
thing always helps a quick-witted
speaker, who has sense enough to
make the most of it. A man who
can be downed by one or two rot
ten eggs is not worth talking to.
The victims ef the Whitechapel
murderer in London, now number
seven women. As the police have
done nothing, it is fair to presume
that they have decided to wait for
the murderer to keep his promise;
he said in his anonymous note to
one of the papers, that when he had
killed twenty-five women he would
give himself up
The presidential campaign is
drawing near. The result is seen
beforehand that the democrats
will win. Their victory awaits the
first Tuesday in November.
Conclusive to all national
elections there has been less busi
ness failures this year throughout
the country, than for a number of
closing presidenlial terms. This,
itself, in a business light, speaks
well for the present democratic ad
ministration, It shows the effect of
low tariff in all business. It shows
t here is more money in circulation
in commercial circles. It shows
the money is not hoarded up in
the treasury. If shows business
profits have been more successful
on the whole,
When the democrats gefdown to
a tariff for revenue only—just the
support of the government—the
country will be still in a better con
dition. The next four years’ ad
ministration will tell more fully
what the democrats are doing.
On the Wrong Side.
Many a man within the past few
dajos has read of the fortune made
in the great wheat speculation and
bewailed his lack of judgment in
not going into it.
But suppose we take a look at
it from another standpoint. The
other day a wretched man with a very
blue face stood ia a New York bueket
shop looking at an empty pocket book.
A few davß before he had been a hap
py man with $125 in the bank, earned
by hard work at the carpenter's bench.
He had denied himself and his family
many a comfort in order to save this
money for a rainy day, He caught
the wheat fever, drew his money and
walked into the bucket shop.
The result was just what might
have been expected. The poor car
penter knew nothing about specula*
tion, and he got on the wrong side. He
sold September wheat against old
Hutch in Chicago, and in less time
than it would take to repeat the mul
tiplication table, his little fortune was
swept away.
It was impossible to seo this man
and not pity him. When he asked
the manager of the backet shop to loin
him five dollars to help him along un
til ho could got a job, the speculator
ooaldn’t lefuoe. He handed over the
money upon the condition the carpen
ter would never enter a backet shop
again.
This little incident shows np the
wheat oorner in anew light.—[Coi
tt'tution.
Editor Pulitzer ol‘the New York
World, recently said to a young
man who claimed to be full of
ideas: “Go home and write me
out twenty good ideas or sugges
tions for increasing the circulation
of the world. Send me your list to
morrow, I will pay you $lO for
each idea I accept. My check for
$2,000 will be mailed you at once
if I accepl them all, and I hope I
can, for we need new ideas here all
the time, and then we can make a
permanent arrangement. I pay
you SIOO per week for a good idea
and you needn’t come to the office
either Yes, I’ll do more; I’ll buy
you a fine pair of horses so fhat
you may drive around town and en
joy yourself in the park. Your for
tune is made, if you can do as you
say,” The young man went home
and sent in his list of ideas. They
were all rejected as worthless.
Just as we Expected,
We are m> ■< il surprised at r
ceiving a let • torn our friend, *‘W.
L R in winch he des>reh to taka
back what he said in the letter we pub
lished from him la*t week. Hesa\s:
“Your reply and condemnation of
the article written from this place, in
regard to ThjAfPickett and Candler,
in the last is* of your paper, is part
ly uncalled for. You accuse the wri
ter of charging Ike Clement with be
ing tho Radioal postmaster at Camm
ing, in which you are mistaken, The
writer only stated what he heard oth
ers say, who said that the editor of the
Clarion told Mr. Candler if he would
not disturb his kinsman, the postmas
ter, that he would use his paper in the
interest of Mr. Candler. Now, sir,
that is about the substance of what
the man said. He did not say who the
pos f roaster was, nor who the editor of
the Clarion was, nor when the trade,
as he termed it, was made, and I simp
ly ask you to make the correction, as
you have ths writer charged as using
Mr. Clement’s name, when I never
used it.”
We cheerfully publish the
statement of our friend, if it is any con
eolation to him, But it seems to ns
that instead of relieving him it only
gets him deeper into the mire. The
only charge he made against Mr. Can
dler was, that “To-day Tied Pickett
is a truer, sounder Democrat than Al
len D. Candler. We are ia a position
to know whereof we speak.’’ All ho
says in substantiation of that charge
is that “the Badical postmaster at
Camming, Ga., is still retained.
Why?' etc. Now, there is nothing
said abont hearsay in that, bnt “we
are in a posr.ion to know whereof we
speak.” And while it is true they
didn’t charge Mr. Clement with being
a radical, their charge against Mr.
Candle was “retaining the radical post
master at Camming,” and it is well
known that Mr. Clement, is the post
master at Ctmming, and so where is
the and fferene*?—f A r 'vartiaer.
