This is the :month when merchants want'to sell their goods more impera- tively than any other of the year. In February it is neither spring.time or harvest,_hay nor grass. Hence the sagacious merchant who knows his business, will now increase his adver- tising announcements. The GAZETTE off.:rs the very best of mediums to that end, as it circulates most largely among those people who are likely to become purchasers. ‘ O CubanSugar. Some‘idea of the effects of the insur- rection in.Cuba is conveyed by the cus- tom House returns at this port. In 1894 over twenty million dollars worth of Cuban sugarcame to Philadelphia; in 1895 this reduced to ten millions; last year theimports of sugar from Cuba were but slightly over two million dol- late in value. , Of course the loss had to be supplied elsewhere“ The total value of the sugar imports last year was nearly sev- enteen million dollars, over a milllion more than the previous year, but only one-eighth of this came from Cuba, whence we formerly get nearly all and two years ago three-tourths._, Demand always calls forth a supply and commerce is now so well organized that a decline in the production in one country soon stimulates increased pro- duction elsewhere. Thus the beet farms of the Central and Eastern Europe have taken the markets relin- quished by the Cuban cane plantations, audit will not be a simple matter to re.- gain them at once, even with tranquil- ity restored. Save the Revenues. While Congress is considering the imposition of additional taxes to meet the increased expenditures of the gov- ernment, objection is not unreasonably made to the Senate proposition to open indiscrimin itely to free settlement the lands recently purchased from the In- dians.. These present an outlay of about thirty-three millions of dollars, made on the assumption that it would be repaid by the sale of the lands. Having got the Indians bought off. the boomers now want to appropriate the land for nothing, by an extension to these purchases of the tree homestead law, which was designed for quite dif- ferent conditions. It the government were excessively rich there would be but the sale of ery moderate no objection to this; chmce public lands, at rates is a proper and useful source of revenue that is not lightly to be thrown away at a time when revenues are ne1 d- ed. _-._____._. The Island Still There. CHLOe’s Island, fare are now assured, has‘not sunk in the sea. The Chilian captain who said hev-saw it sink, was a romancer. What really happened: was that he was sent out to Juan Fernandez with a cargo of sum lies, including a good stock of spirits, of which the ' skipper partook so freely that. he couldn’t find the island or take observa- tiona of his course, and, after cruising about for a time, he got back to _Val- tmraiso and reported that the island had disappeared. An American who was in port at the time. went off to see for himself and found the island all right and the thirty-five families inhabiting it pros- perons and happy, notwithstanding the . .Dircct from Hoyi’s Madison Square non-arrival of the rum. The Chilian Government, changed the name of Juan Fernandez to Crusoe’s Island. a very proper trib- ute to that esteemed sailor, but of questionable accuracy. It is; without i .doubt, the island where Alexander Sel- kirk sojourned, and Selkirk’s narrative gave the suggestion for Defoe‘s: story; , but Defoe himself placed the scene of- his romance at the mouth of the Orin- oco: That, however, is a small matter. That Crusoe is remembered and Sel- ' ,kirk forgotten, save in verse, is only another evidence that; art is more en- 2‘ _- during thambare fact ‘ by that title. it is said, has oflicialiy - T HE E v.

It is called “Aitch”; and this is the may it came There are in that part of Huntingdon County five prosperous fauners, respectively named Antici- son, Isenberg, Taylor Crum, and Hen- de1son 'Each of them \11shed the town to be named after himself, but they could not come to an agieemeut; and finally, as a compromise. the first let- te1'f1om each name was taken and placed together, and tl1e1e‘oy origina- ted the old name “Aitch. ” _.....__.... a-- Quick Relief from Rheumatism Mr. Elisha Berry, of this place says he ' never had anything do him so much good. and give such quick relief from rheumatism as Chamberlain’s Pain Balm.

IN THE 'ENEMY’S GUUNTBY A Surprising Change in, Sentiment. II will Sweep the Country. Until lately Connecticut was the ene- my ’s country The people of the State have long snfl‘ered. Manv have no relief by day or rest by night. Among the thousands, few were able to tell the cause of their sufferings. And the enemy ruled. But a champion came. California Catanh Cure undertook to relieve the oppressed people And the enemy, catarrh, that had its grasp on nearly every citizen will soon be driven from the old Nutmeg State. Already the people rejoice. California Catarrh Cure has won their confidence and this 111 the way it does it: Among the people in Connecticut who have used Ca‘ ifornia Catarrh Care is W H.
