AFTER ELKCT10X.
The Trade In Brooms and Koostera Immense
Sale of Arter-ElecUon Trophic In
Xew Tork.
"It's a clean sweep for Cleveland, and
don't you forget it," cried the man on
Park row, as bo held np a toy broom or
namented with flags. ''Here's the choice
election trophy only half a dime five
cents."
"I'm a Maine man," said a passer-by.
"If you had a Rlaine broom I'd buy it."
"Hero yon are sir," exclaimed the fakir
closinc one lid of his satchel and opan
ing the other whero he kept his Hlaine
brooms. xiere you are. sir, ouiy uau a
dime."
'I don't want j-our brooms," said the
Blaine man finding himself cornered.
"That's tho way wo ketch 'em," said
tho peripatetic salesman. "They try the
snme bluff the Republicans are trying on
tho result, but when you show 'em the fig
ures they back right down, what do I
Siy for tho brooms? I make 'oni myself,
y partner and I saw a feller with 'cm
ono day. but wo couldn't find out no way
where ho got 'em, so at first wo bought
some little paint brushes and rushed 'em
nut on the street. They sold like hot
cakes but my partner said thov were too
big. Then I cut 'em down with my knife
hacked off some of the handle and every
body bought one. Now we mako 'em.
We get the broom part at the broom fac
tories for twenty-fivo cents a pound, and
a pound's enough to make a gross. The
flans aro seventy-five cents a gross, and
the sticks or handles are butchers' skew
ers that cost 1.25 a thousand. Perhaps
they cost us a cent apiece, and wo sell
'em for five cents. "We're doing a slash
ing business to-day," he continued, hand
ing tho pedestrian the change for a dol
lar. "That feller took ten; wants 'em for
a club, and 1'vo got nn order for 150 to
morrow for the narade. My partner's
out buying stuff and making 'em up fast
as he can, but they sell faster. It's noon
now, and I've got "over 2 in my clothes,
and the day hasn't begun."
"Goin' ter matinee 'a afternoon, Bill,"
asked the man with a toy-fighting cock
on his hat, a hen on either shoulder and
a box full of election favorites hanging
from his chest. "Be big day with women
folks and kids," he added, disposing of a
rooster to an old gentleman fired with
political excitement which ho had vainly
endeavored to quench with whisky.
"Mcs half-cocked now, it he never was
before," continued tho vender, is he
watched the old man fasten tho rooster
on the shoulder of his overcoat. "You
see, we buy these roosters and hens to
gether, but we sell 'em separately. Now
I hold up a fighting cock, and it goe3 for
half a dime, see? Now here goes the hen
to this kid. Ho cannot tell a rooster
from a hen, so I make a nickel on him,
too. Yon newspaper fellers gave us the
first pointer on roosters, because you put
'em in the papers. We rushed all over
town to find something like it, and struck
them at a wholesale house in Chambers
street. We pay 5 a hundred pair for
tho large size and 4 for the small. At
five cents apiece that gives us 100 per
cent profit. I'm going ter a matinee ter
day and ter-morrow, so's ter ketch tho
women with these roosters."
Georee B. Park of No. 47 Renwick
street, who has been in the business for
a good many yesrs, said: "It's competi
tion that knocks the bottom out of our
business. There are so many imitators
hanging abont ready to rush a thing on
the market cheaper than some one else
sells it. We sold brooms at 10 cents to
begin with, but now they are only Scents.
The little brown pigs thatwere out awhile
ago sold for 10 cents, and the picture of
Belva liockwood and Ben Butler was
good for 5 to begin with, but
they're all in the hand3 of boys
now, and, oi course, they're no good
if a boy makes 5U cents a day ho s satis
fied, but it won't content a man. These
engravings of tho candidates aro now
sold by boys for a few cents. They get
them at campaign stores, where they're
selling off their stocks for little or noth
ing. We're getting ready now for the
parades that are sure to follow. If both
parties have processions it will be a har
vest for us. wnen the Cleveland people
had speaking at tho academy wo sold
more brooms and roosters than on any
other aay. axj partner ana l nad a
splendid dsy. Now on Tuesday nicht
we sold out everything we hpd mado up,
so we took out 300 papers and made $3
apiece. That was a big day."
The toy house in Chambers street
where the venders found tho most ponu
lar gooas lor me election laiu in ineir
stock of roosters a year am. "We er
pected to sell them at Easter time with
eggs," said the proprietor. "Since Fri
day of last week wo nave sold 40,000 pairs
and if the venders sold them separately
they unloaded cuakhj roosters on the pub
lic, and it isn't Thanksgiving yet either.
Of flags we sold 200 gros3 or 28.800 in the
same time. I speak only of flags for
brooms. We had orders for Pbout two
hundred gross from Philadelphia and all
over tho country. Other houses must
have done an equal business in flags, but
we were tho only one that had roosters.
Of small badges casting from two cents
to ten cents wo sold $8,000 worth, or
about 1,008,000." 2V. Y. World, Novem

Tho case of A. W. Berry vs. Hargrave
& Hellon was dismissed in tho Gnitod
States circuit oourt yesterday. The plain
tiff (Berry) is a ship broker at Astoria.
He secured a cargo for tho ship Wallace
town, belonging to defendants, who are
Liverpool ship owners, and claimed a
commission of $8G9. This not being
paid, he attached tho Oakworth, belong
ing to defendants and was about to libel
her when the matter was settled and tho
suit dismissed. Oregonian, 30.
Its Wonderful Kfllcacy.
No remedy ever discovered possesses
the wonderful efficacy of Syrup of Figs.
The certainty with which it expels all
impurities from the system, at the same
time giving tone to the Liver. Stomach,
and Bowels, places it ahead of all other
remcdiestto say nothing of its being
more easily taken. It is selling very
rapidly. W. E. Dement & Co. are agents

FLEETING RAIIjROA$,;GRANTS.
y .". v
Wo happened io go cast on the
same train that carHedSenator Dolph
and conversed with him, about the
bills pending for revoking railroad
land grants. There are several bills
for revoking tho .Northern Pacific
grants, ono of which-contemplates
taking away from' the company all
lands earned since the:.timo fixed in
the granting acir- It seems likelv,
however, that the sorapany will hold
lands earned up t ttKo time such re
voking act may jisL' It 13 claimed
that covern
meht'iaawvaived its right
to the land by no, enforcing, by suffi
cient legislation, itho termination of
tho grant. It has not,done this; tho
company has continued to construct
its road, in good faithj and the gov
ernment, through its interior depart
ment, has confitmed tho lands so
earned to tho Corporation, all of
which strengthens tho claim of the
company to the lands adjoining the
road it has completed. A principle
of the common law is quoted, by
which a party having been permitted,
without question or hindrance, to
complete a contract, tho failure to en
force a penalty or restriction is
deemed a waiver or. the ngut to do so.
Senator Dolph seems to consider tho
company entitled to all the lands it
may acquire up to tho timea bill shall
pass congress as he has introduced
such a bill himself. It is known that
he has radical views and no doubt
claim all that cau legally be taken
from the road. His bill revokes the
grant from "Wallula to Portland.where
the O. K. & N. Co.'s line is built, and
on all uncompleted portions of tho
Cascade branch, and elsewhere. It is
said that no lawyer in tho senate
(which is mainly made up of
distinguished legal gentlemen)
believes that congress uas any
power to dispossess the Northern
Pacific of the lands it has acquired or
that may be earned by construction
of its roads up to the passage of a re
voking act. The title of the com-
pam, then, to lands along tho lino of
tho Cascade Branch, now building
and to be completed soon, is appar- i
ently secure. This being a.matter of 1
importance to the public as many
settlers aro anxious to locate within
the Cascade grant, we have taken
pains to secure the most reliable in
formation, and give it to the public
Tho views of the, TJ. S. senato being
rindm-slnnd and 'na decisions of tho
U.S. supremo xourt furnish prece-i
dents as the legaLprinciples involved, I
is may oe consiuereu ruasonauiy cer
tain that the Northern Pacific Bail
road Company will hold the land on
all the line of road it shall complete

The Bark Carrie Winslow Wants S1G00.
Damages
William Barrett, master of the
bark Carrie Wiwslow, has instituted
suit, as libellant, against the O JL &: Every attention paid my customers, and
N. Co. The complaint alleges first, I lhti l)0t set eforc u'e' in flrst cIab5? tyle
that during tho month of January,
18S0, the bark, Carrie Wimlow, '
while lying at iNew lork, waa char-;lH
tered by William H. Starbuck, acting
tor me u. as. s iN. uo., to carry a car-
go of railroad iron from New York
to Portland; second, that O. H.Pres
cott, representing the O. B. & N Co.
in this city, and William H. Starbuck,
knew that said bark would require
lighterage at Astoria. It is further
stated that tho vessel arrived at As
toria on the 5th of August, 18S1,
when the master called on E. A.
Noyes, the O. B. & N. Co.'s agent at
that place, and requested lighterage,
and that he also wrote to C. H. Pres
cott, who refused such service, al
though the O. B. & N. Co. had appli
ances suitable for such service at
hand. It is claimed that on this
account the bark was delayed eight
een days at an expnse of S3J per day,
or $1620 in all, this being tho amount
claimed. The defendants have pre
pared a bill of exceptions, which were
argued and submitted Saturday in
the United States district court. The
exceptions state that the libellant al
leges that under the charter it was
tho duty of the consignee to provido
lighterage, but tho defendants were
not prepared to admit that either
their charterer, William H. Starbuck,
or the consignee. C. H. Prescott. act
ed as agent for the O. B, & N. Co., or
tnat that company was otherwise in
terested in the charter than as one of
tho several owners of freieht with
which the vessel was loaded. Dii
the contract of the parties require the
charterers to provide lighterage
that is, boats" and barges to lighter
the vessel, or only to pay for such
lighterage. Exceptions "wero also
taken as follews:
1st That said libel does not show
thatlibollant has sustained any dam
age in the matter of said libel, nor
that defendant is indebted to libel
lant in any sum under the charter
party set out in said libel or other
wise.
2nd. That said libellant hath not
by his said libel shown himself enti
tled to recover from this defendant
the relief therein prayed for, nor any
reiier. uregoman.
X "Women's Exchange."
The sign was displayed, and some-
rjoay went, m to see it a man who was
tired of his wife could go there and
trade her on lor another one. Found
it was impracticable. The best kind
of exchange for women is that which
is promoted by Brown's Iron Bitters.
Exchange poor health for nood. Brok
en down and debilitated ladies with
impoverished blood find vigor and
joy in the enrichment which this
prince of tonics bestows on them.
