following suggestion in connection with
the present political mnddle at Hart-
ford. It presents the case for the re-
publicans in a way which is strong and
suggests a test which ought to be satis-
factory could it be applied :
“But if the democrats in the House
and Senate, and their lawyers still
maintain that the General Assembly
has no authority to make an investiga-
tion; if they absolutely refuse to co-op-
crate with the republicans in an en-
deavor to ascertain the will of the peo-

question, MAr THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
ORDER AND CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION
AND CORRECT THE RETURNS IN ACCORD'
ANCE wrrn THE FINDINGS ?
“ The issue is now squarely before
the democrats and the people of
the state will hold them to sharp ac-
count for further blocking of public ,
business and refusal to take reaSonable
action to settle the distracting and per-
ilous controversy. A score of able re-
publican lawyers in the state take the
ground that the General Assembly may
make this investigation. If democrats
persist in doubt, are they willing to go
for a ruling to the learned and honored
court of last resort ‘9
“Here,to be sure,is a case where the
courts can pass upon a principle disso-
ciated from partisanship and only af-
fecting the result indirectly. It is still
an Open question what the result of an
investigation, if entered upon, Would
be. and the point of the legality of such
an investigation, upon which the Sen—
ate and House are divided, could be
settled by the courts with advantage to
all parties concerned. Either party
refusing such arbitration would cer-
tainly in so doing confess a weakness
which would not be creditable and
would suggest, at least, a lack of con-
fidence in its cause.”
The “A( “ \Vas Read.
Through a typographical error Heav-
enrich & 00., the shoe dealers, have been
brought to acknowledge that their ad-
vertisement in The Journal must be
pretty generally read. On Wednesday
they advertised in The Journal that
they would sell on Thursday any pair of
$5 shoes in the store for $3.50, provided
the purchaser brought a copy of the
advertisement to the store. In lifting
the forms to the press the figure 3
dropped out of the $3.50, leaving it 50
cents for the $5 shoes. The accident
was not noticed until the entire edition
had been sent out. N ow comes the fun.
Heavemich & Co. are a firm that do ex-
actly as they agree, and the result was
necessarily embarrassing.
A reporter of The Journal entered the
store' at 2:30 yesterday and found it
crowded with people from the west side
and South Saginaw, each with the little
coupons cut from The Journal, while
the ever genial Manager Flurry with a
double handful of coupons and a flush
on his handsome countenance was en-
deavoring to explain the mistake and
showing the figures quoted in other pa-
pers. “There‘s the man that’s responsi-
ble for all this.” he said as he spied The
Journal man; “he can explain how it
happened." It was soon made clear to
the people in the store how it happened,.
and then they saw that a discount Of
$1.50 on $5 was the biggest thing they _
had struck and they began buying, and
each one when they left had a. pair of
regular $5 shoes that cost them only
$3.50. Mr. Flurry has not yet said
whether he would bring action against
The Journal for damage to his nerves or
not, but he is convinced that people
read advertisements in The Journal.
The-fact is The Journal circulates large-
ly among a. ,class who study its advertis-
ing columns from motives of economy,
and save by so doing many dollars every
year. —Saginaw (Mich) Journal.
Value of Newspaper Advertising.
Few people realize the great value of
newspaper advertising. On Friday of
last week a party residing in Port Jervis
lost a valuable piece of jewelry. On
Saturday he advertised the loss in The
Union and Gazette, and on the follow-
in g day (Sunday) the lost. property,
which had in the mean time been found,
was restored to the owner. This is only
one of numerous instances which are of
constant occurrence where lost articles
are restored through the medium of
newspaper advertising. A single inser»
tion is generally suflicient to accomplish
the purpose. The incident above men-
tioned also proves that honesty is not as
. uncommon a virtue as some people sup—
pose—Port Jervis Union.
A Point. for the Advertiser.
Pay your readers the compliment of
assuming that they will understand
what you have to say to them, even if it
be technical. If you make or sell first
class dry goods tell where yours differ
from any one else’s, point out how to tell
good cloth or lace or whatever you sell.
Show the economy in buying the kind
that you carry, or, if you carry more
than one grade, of buying the best.—
Polytechnic in the Oflice.
Live and Let Live. .
The newspaper that takes advertising
to fill up with cannot prosper. A news-
paper that has its rates too high cannot
sell its space. There is a normal rate;
that is, a rate which the publisher can
afford to accept and make a profit. and
which the advertiser can afford to pay
and also make a profit. The profit must
be mutual, else . one or the other will

FRESH FOREIGN FACTS.
Mr. Goschen’s Plan to Strengthen
England’s Financial Resources.
Beviewing the Baring Flurry, He As-
serted That England Only Escaped
a Friglitful DIonetary Convulsion
by the Skin of Her Teeth.
LONDON, Jan. 30.,——.At a banquet last
vening Mr. Goschen, chancellor of the
exchequcr, said that a provision should
be made to render it unnecessary to seek
foreign aid in the event of the repetition 01
such a crisis as that of the Barings. He
was now engaged with the bank of Eng-
land in devising a scheme to strengthen
the country’s permanent resources, and it
was the duty of the great banking institu-
tions of the country to assist therein.
Reviewing the Baring crisis, Mr. Gosch-
en showed that British enterprise would
have been paralyzed if it had not escaped
by the skin of the teeth from a catastrophe
to which the fall of ()vercnd, Gurney & Co.
would have been child’s play. Mr. Gosch—
en declared emphatically that he preferred
a stock of twenty millions in gold under
central control to thirty millions in the
pockets of the public.
He suggested the issue of sovereign and
half sovereign notes against the gold, con-
ditional on the maintenance of a cash re-
serve considerably larger than required to
meet the ordinary exigencies of banking.
In regard to a plan to secure the latter con»
dition he considered the American provis-
ion requiring banks to keep a fixed pro-
portion of their deposits in cash as excess-
ive. He advocated the issue of half sover-
eign notes against silver.
Mr. Goschen also proposed a second gold
reserve, to be touched only at moments of
commercial peril. He suggested that this
be obtained by foregoing the profit on note
issue and accumulating gold under special
stringent currency. Mr. Goscheu’s whole
speech was tentative, being intended to at-
tract opinions from the banking and com-
mercial world.
The Chilian Revolution.
BUEXOS Arnns, Jan. 30.—Advices re
ceived here from Chili show that the in-
surgents are steadily gaining ground.
Soon after the bombardment of Port Co-
quimbo the rebels occupied La Serena, the
city of Coquimbo, without any opposition
on the part of the government troops,
though the latter occupied La Serena in
force, being quartered in the hospital,
schools and other public buildings.
On the approach of the rebel forces from
Port Coquimbo government troops evac-
uated La Serena and retreated inland, thus
placing a fine harbor and amost advan-
tageous base of supplies in the hands of
the insurgents.
Prince Baudouin’s Funeral.
BRUSSELS, Jan. 30.—'The funeral of Prince
Baudouin, which took place on Thursday,
was ‘ an imposing affair. The ceremonies
were conducted amid booming of artillery
and clanging of bells, and the streets were
thronged with the populace whose con-
duct betokened their genuine grief. The
stores and public buildings are all closed
and draped in mourning.
So great was the crush in, front of the
cathedral that many persons were crushed
into a state of insensibility.
The Goat's Blood Cure.
PARIS, Jan. 30.——It is announced by the
physicians Bertin and Picq, of the Nantes
faculty, who recently injected fifteen
grams of goat’s blood into the thighs of
two patients, that in the case Of both pa-
tients there has been an abatement of the
fever. One Of them, a woman, whose tem—
perature prior to the injection was 102,
shows a decline of two degrees.
Hennessy’s Dire Threat.
LONDON, Jan. 30.——Sir John Pope Hen-
nessy says that if Mr. Gladstoue‘s bill to

glish lord chancellor and Irish Viceroy
should reach a second reading he, Hennes—
sy, will move .an amendment permitting
the sovereign also to be a Catholic.

DUBLIN, Jan. 30.—-The brass instruments
with which the. Kilrush band had expected

sponsibility for the outrage.

LONDON, Jan. 30.—Mr. Charles Brad-
laugh passed a bad night, but is no worse
than he was yesterday.
The Mammoth Mine Horror.
PITTSBURG, Jan. 30.—A special from the-
Marnmoth mines says: But little remains
to be done but bury the dead and clear up
every vestige of the recent explosion. At
this writing 108 bodies have been recov-
ered. The lower chambers of the mine are
still being searched, as several men are re-
ported missing. The truth, however, is hard
to learn, for many of the miners were-for-
eigners and comparatuely unknown. An
appeal for aid has been issued throughout
the coke regions, and T. .V. Powderly has
been asked to issue a similar call for the
benefit of the distressed families. The re-
markable fact that not one man escaped
cannot be explained. even by old miners.
The entire coke region is in a state of com-
plete demoralization,

Othcr collision occurred in this city Thurs-
day morning bctwccn two trains on the
Consolidated railroad and on the Danbury
and Norwalk branch of the Housatonic
railroad which is more costly than any ol
the five which have happened here this
winter. Shortly after midnight a west‘
bound freight on the Consolidated road
crashed into a Danbury and Nor-walk
freight, which was wrecked, below the
depot, damaging the engine and smashing
four of the Housatonic cars into kindlings.
All were loaded, and their contents, con-
sisting of crockery, beef, vegetables, paints
and oils, were scattered about in the great-
est confusion.
One brakeman was badly injured, and
several others who were riding on the roofs
of box cars were hurled from their high
perches and more or less bruised. At day-
light the tracks Of the Housatonic road
were obstructed south of the depot, and
traffic over the \Vilson Point division had
been suspended. Engine No. 109, driven
by Charles Alton, was partially wrecked,
but was able to proceed to her destination.
The platform at the freight house where
the accident occurred is demolished and
the building itself is damaged.
INGAXLLS “'O'ULDN’T ILAYE IT.
He Sat Down Hard on the Use of DIoney
in His Canvass.
TOI’EKA, Kan., Jan. SEQ—One of Senator
Ingalls’ managers said Thursday to a cor-
respondent: “Last Friday night this game
was ours. It was in our hands. The plan
was to secure the nomination of Harris,
an ex—rebel, by the Alliance, and then get
the soldier members to i l y the track. "We
had the pledges from them that they would
do it. \Ve counted on that until Sunday
night. Then we saw that our plan was
liable to fail. Then we went to work on
individual members, but they were afraid.
Money was offered to a few, but I want to
say that Senator Ingalls sat down hard on
this.
“He said to us: ‘I’m getting old, have
had all the honors any American citizen
can have except the presidency, and I can’t
afford now to give in to any plan which
would cause my family pain and create
scandal. You must stop where you are.’
“Then we gave up.” '
All Hands Given Up for Lost.
DENVEI:,}T:III. 2-30.—A special to The R ocky
Mountain News from San Francisco says:
Private advices from Tahiti, in the Society
islands, reports that wreckage has been
discovered, supposed to be from the mis-
sionary schooner Phoebe Chapman, which
left Honolulu a year ago in charge of El-
der J. H. Cudeny, of Nebraska, a Second
Advent missionary. 'l‘he Chapman was
bound for Pitcairn’s island, and carried a
crew of six men. All hands are now giVen
up for lost, and at the last general confer-
ence of the Advent society resolutions Of
condolence with Elder Cudeny’s wife and
children were passed. Another missionary
schooner was sent to the South seas some
months ago, and reports that there is no
longer any doubt of Cudeny’s fate.

present and addressed the body. He held
that'the unifying of the salt interest of
this territory could now be accomplished.

not be required now to float the stock that

made no reference to the recent failure of
the agricultural implement dealers to form
a trUSt.
