and liabilities, the Democrat would like to publish same. I'he impression generally prevails that every t ixpayer is entitled to a glimpse at such a financial statement. The council is the proper authority to fill this want. The time for them to do so is now. Don’t believe in expertism that insists that advertising doesn’t create a demand for your goods. It does create and maintain and prosper such a demand. Thousands of the men who are making monev rapl ily out of the demind thus created will assure you of the truth ot this: That by advertising “ye may move mountains”—of goods that would otherwise accumulate dust on your shelves. •4~ Theodore Bailey’s appointment as postmaster at Portland has been confirmed, and in a few short days he will have taken charge of that office. Postmaster Ttmmonds yearned for a return to the mysterious pleasures ot newspaper work, and resigned two months before his commission expired. During his reign in office he has been a competent official—as all newspaper men are—when the opportunity is afforded them. •4While the thermometer has been registering away up in the, garret, and people about town have been inventing all kinds of genius novelties to keep cool, the farmers all smile, grin and bear it, and say the weather is the making of the critter—the crops. And right they are. This weather is worth considerable money to them, and they are entitled to ail kinds of consideration in that direction. Senators Sherman, Gage and Wilson see prosperity all over the land and have so recorded their experiences in a Xew York paper. Are they not proving too much for their side of the case? Whatever prosperity is in sight must be the result of the present tariff, which is a democratic measure. Had they not better keep “prosperity” under cover until the new tariff and other republican measures have had time to bloom and bloom? Gentlemen, you seem to be overshooting the mark This is not good politics. Mark Hanna knows better than to see too much prosperity yet a while.—Sentinel.

The season is now ripe for street work and that gentleman who is making a stag effort to fill the office of street commissioner, is in the height of his glory. His manner of ordering the people to work their “poll,” would do justice in any bowery we ever heard of. They say a person cm be a gentleman at most anything he may do, but some people can’t, and the present street commissioner comes pretty near being one of the cant's. However, his salary goes on just the same, A Kansas woman, who has been elected police judge of her city, has adopted a novel solu ion of the tramp problem. The first tramp who was brought before her judgment was sentenced to two baths a day for ten days and to hard labor on the stone pile, with the order to be be fed if he worked and be starved if he shirked. The prisoner survived the ordeal, but now the first question a tramp asks on approaching a Kan u as town is whether the police judge is a man or a woman. -4There was manufactured in the United States during the month of May 340,378,007 cigars, a loss of 8,370,790 compared with the same month a year ago; 375,231,940 cigarettes, a gain of 54,742,000. The output of chewing and and smoking tobacco was 24,418,094 pounds, a gain of 3,964,152 pounds; in snuff, 1,024,055 pounds, a loss of 81-866 pounds. This is the first time in the history of the eiifar and cigarette trade where for any length of time the output of cigarettes has exceeded the cigar trade. U. W. Bohnke furnishes the following prosperity receipt, which is for the individual use of unemployed men who voted for McKinley: Three gallons of confidence, one peck of international agreement, one quart of gold standard, seven teaspoonful of prosperity, two quarts of sound money and a pound of protection. The directions say to boil this conglomeration with twelve months of no work tor one year, then eat while hot. For chronic cases the dose may be increased according to the capacity , of the patient.

A meeting of the stockholders of I the Hartford Oil Co. was held at ■ Geneva Saturday, June 26, and new | officers for the ensuing year were elected as ’follows; Pres., Peter i Hoffman; viee-pres., Lewis Renolds; 1 treas., J. A. Hardison; sec’y,,L.’ O. | Bears; supt., Sol Moser; directors, i Peter Hoffman; Lewis Renolds, H. j H. Stuckey, J. A. Hardison, Sol Moser, L. O. Bears and Hiram [ Kizer. The officers decided to pay j out dividents now and not make any i new investments until the price of i oil raises.—Berne Witness. -YWages droppin’ downward every blessed day, Bosses think the workmen ort to live on hay; Wheels a-growih’ rusty, whistles fail to toot, i Lips once busy singing campaign songs are mute. , Congres doin’ nothin’, members never care, So the draw their wages, if we live on air—ilf this,as they keep preachin’, in prosperity, What in blazin’ thunder kin ol’ Hard Times be?—Toledo N ews. The fire boys done a good act i Friday evening by cleaning Second street. Their good work was somewhat marred by the Burt House man-hole being filled up with dogfennel and rag weed. This caused a flooding of water on the street, that should have found its way into the underground sewerage, and where it would have gone had the I man-hole been relieved of its super- I fluous amount of ancient rubbish. ; A street commissioner in a city of this size would be a luxuriant luxury, better by far than ice cream soda. Fred T. Loftin has not been around printing offices all these j years without appreciating the need of a copy hook from which compositors can take off copy in the or- j der in which it was put on. He has ■ considered the possibility of inventing such a device and his thought in that direction finally evolved an , idea which he and those he consulted considered worthy of developing, i Accordingly he went to work on the idea of a copy hook combining the advantages named and the result is an invention which he has secured a patent. The hook will be found convenient in other offices, as the facility it affords for taking off bills or files in the order pu f on is an advantage in many lines of business. — Huntington Herald.

A wise father gives the following advice to his sou who is about to Start out on his own hook: “Follow not suit in the steps of the loafer, and make no example of him who is born tired, for verily' I say unto you, their business is overstocked, and the seats on the corners are all taken and whittling places are ail occupied. It is better to saw wood at two bits a cord than to whittle in a loafing match and cuss the govj ernment. My sou, while thou hast I left in thy skull the sense of a jaybird, break away from the cigarette habit, and 10, thy breath stiuketh like a glue factory, and thy whole appearance is less intelligent thau a i stone dummy. Yea, thou art a cypher with the rim knocked off.” The injunction suit held before Judge Heller Monday disclosed the fact that a report of the city’s financial standing is next to the impossible. The city treasurer stated that he didn’t know and had no means at hand to find out the j amount of orders issued and not paid. The clerk has no record onlv ■of the orders issued. The only way ; in which it can be done would be ! to take the stubs of the orders issued and those of the orders redeemed and paid, and the difference would tell the tale of the orders outstanding. This added to the amountof bonds outstanding would give the indebtendness proper. As the people have a right to know I the amount of such indebtedness, it would be well for the council to order the proper officers to dissect the matter and give the results to the public. After reading a series of signed articles in last week’s Journal, we are happy to note that Paul Hooper has been declared innocent of the aggravating charge of owing Chauncy Andrews the sum of $8.50, the amount involved being a campaign debt. The Republican Club by its president and secretary boldly assert that if any money is due the said Andrews, it is due and owing from that organization, which was in no wise connected with Pau! Hooper as chairman of the county central committee, and that Mr. Hooper is no more bound to pay the amount than any other republican would be. P. L. Andrews in another article boldly asserts that the committee owes Chauncy Andrews nothing; that the playing done was promptly settled for to the manager of the band, and if

J anything is due and unpaid, the j band manager is the proper person |to par the debt. All this state of t facts surely relieved Mr. Hooper | from the responsibility and odium j of trying to evade “whacking up"’ | with the boys. In the comic!papers an t in the socalled humorous columns, of the daily paper, the genial old farmer is burlesqued and made to appear ridiculous. He is called a “hayseed” and a “come on.’’ He is made the personification of all >hat is verdant, ignorant and unsophisticated. His lack of knowledge of the little trivialities that constitute the education of a society man, are accentuated. His trustful disposition is sneered at. His plain, honest ways are burlesqued. His praiseworthy economies are twisted into the appearance of unworthy parsimony, and in every way he is made to appear as»a very undesirable and much to be depreciated personage. If the publication of such rot serves any good purpose, sensible readers would like to know what that purpose is. Dr. King’s New Discovery tor Consunplion.

G. P. A. Louisville, Ky. a VACATION HAYS. In the. Lake Regioos of Wisconsin, Northern Michigan, Minnesota, lowa and South Dakota, along the lines of the Chicago, Wilwaukee & St. Paul Railway, are hundreds of charming localities preeminentlyfitted for summer homes, nearly ali of which are located on or near lakes which have not been fished out. These resorts range in variety from the “full dress for dinner” to the flannel shirt costum for every meal. Among the list are names familiar to many of our readers as the perfection of Northern summer resorts. Nearly all of the Wisconsin points of interest are within a short distance from Chicago or Milwaukee, and none of them are so far away from the “busy marts of civilization” that they cannot be reached in a few hours of travel, by frequent trains, over the finest road in the Northwest—the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. Send a two cent stamp for a copy of “Vacation Days” giving a description of the principal resorts, and a list ot summer hotels and boarding houses, and rates for board, to Geo. H.
