BILL SNORT IN TOWN.

The New Firm of Snort,Harrison & Wanamaker —How Wanamaker Advertises —Department Clerks Get their Pies, Chewing Gum and Cigars from S., H. & W.[From Texas Siftings.] My Dear Johnny: As I wrote you in a previous letter, since I have adopted Lige Halford’s plan of making both ends meet, I have been salting down money every week. When anybody performs any personal service for us members of the Administration, we do not pay him in actual caslijgout of our own pockets. Not a bit of itWo simply go to the President and have the aforesaid creditor appointed to a lucrative office and that cancels the debt.

But now, Join ny, we have struck a new scheme that will cause our cheeks to tick ou with fatness. It will work like a charm. I will expla.n it to you. You must know, Johnny, that in the various Departments there are thousands and thousands of clerks and clerk esses. It has heretofore b en the rule that peddlers, distributers of cir* culars and ny advertise*, ments should not be allowed to invade the Department buildings. The ostensible reason for this exclusion was that the Government employes would be hindered in their work. This was a flimsy excuse for keeping the peddlers out. There are ouly eompar lively few of the clerks and clerkesses that work. If a barrel of cider was appointed to a clerkship, it would stop working right off. — There is a goo deal o i flirting going on, but that’s not work. At least, it is not ver hard work, so I am told by some of the Senators and one of the Members from Texas.

A 1 any rate, r 1! Uatributors. of advertising eirc i ;rs have been kept out. If Oj-.: of them trie to get in, a janitor would rush at him with uplifted hoot and kick him until the foot-notes sounded like the patter of a male’s hindlegs on the ribs of a hired man. It occurred to Wanamaker that this arrangement might be changed to his own personal advantage.— Wanny has a great head for busi* ness. Yesterday I happened to go into tne Treasury Department to 'see a beautiful clerkess who is paying me some few attentions. When I entered the building, the door', keeper shoved an illustrated circular into my astonished hand. Every doorkeeper and watchman in the building had a wad of these circulars, and before I got out of the _ sacred edifice 1 had a dozen copies. I did not have time to examine them until I got back to the office of Snort’s Harrison V-indicator, in the White House, I discovered then that it was the advertisement of a Washington business college. How did tht author of this circular manage to evade the rules?

On the front page was a picture of Wanamaker himself, with a siast-iron smile on his face, such as we see in pictures of martyred saints. Opening the circular, I read: ‘'Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness and one of Wanamaker’s SIT suits. Men’s shirts, only 59 cents. Men’s fancy blazers, $2.49, Men’s fancy hose, 14 cents, etc. Clothe thyself in the garments of righteousness. See Wanamaker’s adv.” I caught on at once to what Wanny really meant when he told me, confid antially, the other day, that his methods and policy gen* orally were beginnin g to crystalize, as the machinery of his Depart ment was working more smoothly. In another place in the circular, under the heading of “Golden Words,” the Postmaster General is referred to as a merchant prince, and there is a rebus on the art of finding money in the pocket of every man who wears a pair of Wanaannker’s three and a half dollar pants. After looking over this circular

carefully, it occurred to me that the Wanamaker idea might be worked on a big scale to the great advantage ot this reform Administration in general and Bill Snort in particular

My idea is that Snort, Harrison and Wanamaker be photographed in a group, with me in tb* middle, as the bright sun around which they revolve. This photograph, under the great seal of the United Scales, will be used to advance the sale of any article that the thousands of Department clerks may or may not wai t. The following business letter to a New York chewing-gum firm will give you an idea of how we are going to work this little scheme:

White House, D. 0., ) August 22, 889. \ “My Dear Sir: As you are well aware, your brand of chewiuggum has only a limited circulation in Washington. I propose the following arrangement, by which we can be mutually benefit red: “We, that is, Snort, Harrison Wanamaker, will furnish you with wrappers for each chunk of gum. On these wrappers will be the portraits of Snort, Harrison and Wanamaker, together with such li+tle printed gems of thought as: “ ‘Coi ael Snort, of Texas, is univers’. ly concede ! to be the handsomest yrm in Washington.' “ ‘Pants be »ht at Wanamaker’s bazaar neve) ig at the knees. — Hold fast unto iat which is good —St. John’s Epistle to the P >iladelphians.’ ‘“President Harri on, th' peer of Washington, uses our gtim exclusively. Studio Lige and Russ.’

“ ‘All the janitors and doorkeepers in the department buildings, not to speak of numberless otlmr Federal officials, owing to a press sure I wilt bring to boar on them, will sell y our gum exclusively, without commission, to the employes. You could also print on the wrappers: “To be had on applying to all Federal officials, doorkeepers,. janitors, et ah’ American consuls in foreign countries would be instructed to push your gum all over the known world as a ; art of their official duty. “The prevailing rule in the Department buildings forbidding the chewing of gum during office hours would be rescind d, and the employees will understand that if they are found without your gum in their mouth they will be filed out and their places given to those whose hearts are in the good work of booming our reform administration.

“The result wiK be that thousands of pounds of your chewing sum will be sold in Washington. (ike the praises of the present administration, it will be in everybody’s mouth. You will become suddenly rich. Now, the question is, what is your shewing gum company going to do for Snort, Harrison and 'Yanamaker in return for these privileges? “We are willing to accept a round sum annually for these facilities, but it will have to contain five figures. How does a check for $20,000 strike you, with a liberal contribution to the election expenses of 1892? “Or, we will accept a moderate royalty on each package of gum. Or, we will accept shares of stock in your firn, and ou can rely on our not being deadheads in this scheme.

“Please reply at once, as I have already been approached by a rival chewing gam firm. “Snort, Harrison & Wanamaker. “(Perßill Snort)” So you see, Johnny, if r this scheme works, i’ll have money enough to go out West to one of the new States and get myself elected Senator. There is no telling what amount of business we may not do. Ism already negotiating with a cigar firm to supply the Department clerks with cigars. Some of them may not ca*a to smoke, but if they do not learn they will not be in their places very long. The olerks have been taught to take a bin.

If the cigar firm comes down handsomely, there will be so much smoking that strangers in Washington will ihink the town is onfire. The name of the brand of cigars will be La Refotina. They will really be worth about a cent apiece, but the Department clerks will g t only two for a quarter. The photograph of the firm of Snort, Harrison & Wanamaker, highly colored, will be on tho box. Henry Clay has got his mug on cigar boxes, hense why should not the intellectual faces of living statesmen »'e similarly perpetuated. I don’t see any reason vhy this plan raising the wind should not be extended to every article that clerks and clerkesses use. We might make an arrangement with sonm local bakery that pies, proporly stamped with Bill Snort’s features and the Lone Star of Texas, be furnished tne employes tor a mild consideration, no other pie maker being allowed to have access to tyie buildings. The ginger snaps and s da crackers might be | richly embossed with the profile oi the President.

You see, Johnny, that this scheme is in its infancy as yet, but when the members of the firm of Snort, Harrison & Wanamaker put their heads together and develop it more thoroughly, at least ninetonths of the salaries of the Government employees ought to go into tlr pockets of the new firm and the contractors who furbish the chewing gum, pies, etc. Your friend. Bill Snort. _ We are now ready to talk business as we have an immense stock of new and seasonable goods for Fall and Winter, consisting of Dry (jbods, Clothing, Notions, Hats,, Cans, Boots. Shoes, Rubber? Ladies and Gents’ Furnishing Goods, Tinware, &c. Chicago Bargain Store. John Kernighan, the defeated Republican candidate for Congress in Hooker s district, Mississippi, bases his contest for the latter’s seat, not on the ground that he had the most legal votes, for Hooker beat him about 8,000. Ho claims that he is entitled to the 86 :t because the distiict has a no*, gro majority, and because the vote for Hooker was larger than the white vote. In other words, he moans to say that all negroes are Republicans, and denies that any negroes voted for Hooker. I

If money is of any consequence to you, before you buy go and see the immense stock of woolen dress goods, flannels, kets, and a complete stock of clothing, boots, shoes, rubbers, f urnishing goods, &c.
