RS ST Loretta Sturm, 14 years old, the daugh- | ter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sturm, resid- ing at 846 Tsabel street. has dropped out of sight in a mysterious manner. The child's parents and other relatives, with | scores of friends, have been searching fruitlessly for four days to get a trace | of the missing girl.

She had no inclinations, so | far as the family is aware, that would | cause her to go astray. | Last Wednesday morning Loretta went | to her sister's room and took a sealskin coat and some other smaller articles wearing apparel. With her ordinary street garments the girl departed, saying not a word to any one in the house. | When Loretta failed to appear that | evening for supper alarm was felt, but it | was not suspected that the girl had left her home.

The failure of the concern| was the result of the dyving out of the Belgian hare craze, which was at fits height when the emporium started Shortly after the organization of lh?l corporation_the promoters sent represen- tatives to Los Angeles and other places | to_study Belgian hare conditions. | Experts werc emploved at fancy sal- | arfes and the best stock obtainable was ! procured. For a while the venture was highly successful and many profitable sales were made. The purchasers suffered, however, and their experience was a warning to others not ta buy.

TERMS OF CLEVELA ND AND HARRISON. Copyright, 1900, by Seymour Eaton. AMBRICAN POLITICAL PARTIES, e et XXTIT. The Civil Service. Presldent Cleveland found the task of satisfying those who had elected him to the Presidency a difficult one. The “mug- wump” contingent among his supporters expected him to adhere to the cause ov civil service reform and refuse to make removals from office for partisan reasons. | On the other hand the Democrats, after a quarter of a century of exclusion from any share in the Government patronage, came In large numbers to demand what they deemed thelr rights. An angel from heaven, gulded by celestial wisdom, could not have gratified both factions; neither did Cleveland, though he made the at- tempt. Civil service reform was a ced though less rapidly than its advocates bad hoped, and partisan removals were made that Democrat ¢ office seekers might be installed, so that in course of the Preside I' term_Republicans were very general 'weeded out” of the offices not included under civil service rules. The Tariff in tke Campaign of 1888. The most important acts of Clev first administration were those upon the tariff. 'the annual message pr sented to the Fiftieth Congress in Decem- ber, 1887, dealt solely with the subje: riff reform. The next election ready in sight. Cleveland and Blair expected again to contest the Pres before the country, and an issue mu determined upon. The message of made that issue tariff reform, and Republic: thrown down. They had been fortunate in previous campaigns in their use of ques- tions of finance, and they were sanguine of success once more in a tariff contest. Repubiicans therefore squared themselve: to fight the election of 1888 on that line. Blaine published a newspaper mes- gage setting forth the Republican doc- trine of protection, while the Democrats vored to eolidify their forces for ef- ctive H v making the acceptance the administration tariff measures th ential prerequisite for the bestowal o 1 favors. After the smoke of battle had cleared cans found that their ad- v views of tariff l 1857 the ns readily took up the gage thus £ tion the element of protection, had given them not_only the Presidency but the control of both houses of Congress. They felt themselves therefore under obligations to promote legislation in favor of tariff re- form in the direction of further protection to American industries. The dcKinley Bill.

Three months of genuine debate within the party over the proposed tariff legisia- tion worked a most sudden and sweeping | people in economic | on the high tide of commercial prosperity revolution In respect to party ascendeney. The McKinley bill became law, but the members of that Congress which passed .t were speedily called to judgment by the voters.

To that the most persis- tent opposition came from within the Re- {mhllmn party.

Great outcry had been made against the Republicans for their demonetization of silver, and Republican Presidents had al- ways stood In the way of the restoration of free coinage. At the same time both parties adopted platforms which professed to desire the continued use of silver on an equality with gold. And all the time there were In each D a few professed gold monometallists, along with others Who leaned less decidedly in the same ai- rection.
