There Will Be Business Improvement Irwtrad of Usual m-prcxalnn. (Philadelphia Picas, l , Unless continuances or conditions arise which no experienced observer bere now foresees, the presidential campaign this year to be In one re spect without precedent. The busl aess community In other presidential canvasses haa counted upon a season f dullness awaiting the result of the election. And that is especially true when a comtemplated revision of the tariff la the principle Issue of the campaign. It has been the custom In every presidential season since the civil war for the merchants and manufac- turers to surtall somewhat, to take In sail, and banks have every four years of the presidential term expect' ed a reduced demand for accommo dations during the presidential can vass. Occasionally, business has been confronted with sudden panicky con dltlons. That occurred in the August of 190,1). In the second campaign Bryan made for the Presidency there came a day late In August when the bankers were seriously alarmed. When Mr. . Morgan sailed for Europe the day after Ynle Univer sity had honored him and commem orated his good service .in the panic of last fall, he expressed his views with his customary brevity, and yet emphasis, saying that he was optlnv Istlc, that the bottom had not fallen out of American industry, and that he considered all the signs of the times most favorable. In these few words Mr. Morgan expressed what Is undoubtedly the unanimous sentiment of the leading bunkers of New York. And it is this view which Justifies the prediction that nnless unforeseen contlngences come we are to have this year a pre sidential campaign coincident In time with a revival of business pros, jierlty. The Managers of some of the greatest of the American corpor ations, whose offices are In New York say that the feeling of confidence that there will be no currency diffi culties next fall prevails over the whole country. For that reason, business men are not afraid to under take new activities. Best the World Affords. "It gives me unbounded pleasure to recommend Bucklen's A'nlca fcslve," aays J. W.

LITTLE OF John Hays Hammond appears to have been relegated to the obscurlt; of his salary of 1500.000 a year. Who ever thought the ai.top -bile would have such a short lift? It has had Us day. even now. Out a b 1 1. j n before the rush comes Fly, love, with me in my balloon. we'll take a sall( beneath ttai moon: it's a dandy ay to spoo.i; ! It Is not yet, but twill be scon. Notwithstanding the troubles In Persia, the Peralua rug output will aot be curtailed, thanks to the fac tories In America. A Los Angeles man who went to sleep In El Centra found a rattle snake In his bed. And yet El Centro professes to be a prohibition town. A certain Wisconsin town has de creed that the pictures of-all topers be hung In the.anloona of-the town. Probably they will, be full-face pic tures. Bryan favors the eight -hour day mainly, we suppose, for the r-.on that It gives a man time to n.tcud the Chautauqua lectures in the even ing. As though It were not already the clt of a. Utectural freaks and crimes, New York la to have a build- ins more than voo feet high. Pro- ably it Is being built with the Idea uf having an airship station on the roof. A British admiral gives it as his opinion that the next war will take place In the Pacific. He might have added that everything else of lm port, from now on, will take place li the Pacific. Evidently James Schoolcraft Sher man has come to the conclusion that Just because he is to become li-e president It Is no reason tha' he should lie down and die. One hobo whom the Kinsas fi ll ers tried to draft hit the hlfhwu. :m:l ran himself to death. This would seem to establish the sincerity of hli conscientious scruples against nines' toil. Bryan's platfoim Is to flat a.'d tin earthly tame for a Bryan plWom that it constitutes one of the most dangerous Instruments ever f I muted in the face of an alert and suspect ing public. .

With a crash likened to that of distant thunder the greater portion of the north wall of the Max Weiss grocery store collapsed shortly af ter noon Tuesday, carrying with It damage In the sum of about $1,200. Mr. Weiss estimates his loas at the conservative figure of $r00. The cause of the collapse Is attributed to the weakening of the walls and foundations by the excavation for the new building which is now in the course of construction by Mr. Kohl- hagen on the lot adjoining on the north. valley News.
