ports allege, have grown exeeedingly mad when such arguments were suggested. Such state of affairs in a civilized community should not be. A man has a perfect right to do as he pleases in this remonstrance business. If he wants to sign it it is his business solely and if he do s not care to attach his name it is equally his own affair. Any threat to boycott a business man for Ins stand on signing a remonstranc> of any kind is unAmerican and unjust. A prominent business man said yesterday that such talk us he bad beard along the line thai he and other merchants “could not afford not to sign a petition” would ulti mately drive those inclined to sign away from the movement entirely.

Washington, Xov. 30, 1895. Hon. Thomas B. Reed knows from experience that it is best to make no premature announcement concerning the committee assignment of members of the House. While it is certain that Mr. Reed lias already assigned all of the old members of the House to committees, it is not probable than more than a dozen members of the House will know to a certainty their own places on the committees, and less than that num er the places of other members, before [ the official announcement is made aft>>i Mr. Reed has been formally elected speaker. Mr. Reed will have more trouble in pro|H*rly placing the new members, and will have t > rely largely upon the r.dviee of others, ns many of them are entirely unknown to him.

There are several reasons—all good— why the talk, which has been indulged in by cuckoos, about Mr. Cleveland punishing ex-Speaker Crisp for his silver views by having the democratic nomination for speaker of the House and the consequent leadership of the democrats in that body given to some cuckoo instead of to Mr. Crisp, has been .amusing to those who know the financial status of a majority of the democratic members of the House. It is only necessary to mention one of these reasons—a majority of the deuioratic members bold precisely the same views tiiat Mr. Crisp does, or at least they did when last heard from by their constituents. Of course it is possible that the administration can control some of these voles by a judicious use of patronage, but it is not at all probable that it will care to go into a contest of that sort. It might end not only with the nomination of Crisp by the democratic caucus, hut gaii might he added to the bitterness by the adoption os a silver resolution. That Mr. Cleveland would like, if he had the power, to go into the wholesale punishment of those democrats who do not agree with him is doubtless true, hut his time will be fully taken up with dodging the missiles shied at his head from both Senate and House Unit he will have no time to devote to punishing others. !t is seldom that such absolute iiulilfence is shown by senators and representatives a week before the meeting of congress as to what recommendations the president’s message may contain as exists among those now in Washington. This indifference is not confined to either party. Everybody seems to have arrived at the conclusion that it makes n > difference what Mr. Cleveland may say or leave unsaid; that it is the wisdom of the republicans in congress that must be depended upon and not Mr. Cleveland's message. Some of the candidates for the minor House offices are trying to turn it into a sectional contest—this office for the south, that for the west, the other for ltie east, etc., but it is not probable that the caucus will make the selections upon that basis. There has been too much sectional politics in this country. The republican party lias always proclaimed itself a national party, even when one section was solidly arrayed against it, and it is not likely to endorse sectionalism in any form now

Mr. F. A. Hays, Greencastle, Ind. DEAR SIR: We begin next Monday to take our annual Inventory, and we would rather close out the balance of our heavy weight goods than invoice them. We have sent you by express today a sample garment each of the balance of our stock of men’s suits, men's pants and men's overcoats, so also a sample of boys’ and childrens’ goods of all kinds. We have put upon them prices that you can readily see are about fifty cents on the dollar as compared with what you have ever paid for this same class of goods. We give you the first opportunity, believing that you can use all of it. In any event, you have the choice. We must hear from you by return mail, for if you are not interested, we have other customers who will gladly avail themselves of the opportunity. You will understand th;ft these prices are to close the lots, and while some of them are large lots, the prices are so small as will make you wish that the lots were larger. Awaiting your reply by return mail, we are. Very truly, M. & L. S. FECHHEIMER tS: CO. * THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY. Dated Cincinnati, Ohio, 11-21. 1895. TO F. A. HAYS.

One man said he hadn’t seen so inticli exeitement since he was a candidate tor office. A gentleman from the first ward was hot under the collar last night. He said that this thing of second and third ward people trying to run the first was wrong. “We know a thing or two,” said the gentleman, "and when we want a lot of you second warders to come down here and tell >'s how to run our business we will send for you. This is our fight and you should

keep out.”

It is said that a committee visited a merchant and he declined to sign, and that one of th:> committeemen told the merchant tiiat lie had better leave the church. The merchant replied that he had been a churchman longer than hud the committeeman and that seemed to "settle the matter. In a talk with one of the committee this morning he said he thought the number of signers had reached about a hundred but that the figures were indefinite. He further said that the movement was begun too late. “This business crowded into two or three days is not enough time. We should have begun a

An Error’* Work.

In the German part of the ad. of E. Marquis in yesterday’s paper the word “in” was dropped out of the end of the fourth line. This destroyed the sense of the entire article and its successful translation without the “in” would be impos sible. The error shows what a gauntlet an arttcal runs in a newspaper. Two proofs had been read and the article marked “o. k.” by Mr. Marquis but in getting the paper to press the “in” got out.

It is correct today.
