preparing for the fall trade and have already
received large additions to my stock of snch
Goods as are suited to the present and approach
ing season. Ny large trade with the people Of
Charles and Prince Georges counties enables
me to furnish Goods with special reference to
those markets. The cash system enables me
to buy much lower, and am not now COM
PEELED to sell my Goods SO high as to make the
cash buyers pay enough to protect me from the
losses sustained from those Goods sold on
credit. Everything is now strictly on the cash
basis, thus saving largely to my customers.

" Guano, and 1900 pounds of Soluble
Phosphate of Lime (bones dissolved in sulphu-

concentrated universal and durable fertilizer
ever offered to the farmer-combining all the
stimulating qualities of Peruvian Guano, and
the ever Misunderstanding properties OF Ground

Excelsior is in fine dry powder, prepared ex-
pressly for drilling, and can be applied in any
quantity per acre, however small and it is the
opinion of many close calculating Farmers;
after TWELVE years experience in testing it
side by side with other popular fertilizers that
an application of 100 pounds of Excelsior is e
quail to 200 to 300 pounds of any other fertiliz-
er or guano offered for sale, therefore is fully
100 to 200 per cent. cheaper.
~ The usry best evidence zoe can offer Of the
ualue of our Excelsior as a crop grover and fer

Yesterday the police made descents on all
the lottery policy shops in the city, arresting
several hundred men engaged in the business
Of tempting the weak to part with their money
in the hope Of receiving several hundreds Of
dollars for every dollar invested. If it were
possible to gather in the evidence of oil the
suffering and misery which these policy shops
bring upon men, women and children, the
record would be fearful one for contempla-
ton. "Policy" is more baneful than either
faro or keno; for the class which patronises
1t is generally that which possesses little
money and can least afford to indulge their
gambling propensities. To suppress the bust
ness, then, is o matter of Importance to the
moral welfare Of our people. How extensively
carried on It now is can be seen in the fact
that some three hundred dealers were arrested
in this city yesterday. The aggregate
amount of money which these men daily re-
ceive from the infatuated players must be
enormous. 1t probably represents an income
great enough to support in ease and comfort
every poor family In the metropolis. For
every man who makes "a hit. g., wins--at
least one hundred lose but even II the winners
were more numerous and the chances Of
winning less remote than they are the bust
ness n vicious in the extreme. It has caused
and 10 daily causing the ruin Of hundreds; Il
helps to I'LL our prisons with thieves, and is In
every sense of the word injurious to public
morals. So far as tho raid Of yesterday Ia
concerned, the arrest Of the policy dealers
and the holding Of them to bail to answer the
charge Of violating the laws of the State are
deserving Of praise; but until these mer
are tried, convicted and punished bu
little will have been done 10 de
stroy the evil. Three-courths Of thu

The Foster Case.

Judge Cardozo has passed sentence on the
unhappy Foster. The sentence has much
more certain sound than the charge to the
jury. The Judge spoke plainly and truthfully
when he said ia most intelligent and i'm
partial jury, substantially of your own selec-
ton, have been your triers; but the case was
too forlorn for human effort, almost for hope;"
and again when he said, ''It is not likely that
human mercy will be accorded to you We
have already expressed our opinion Of Judge
Cardozo's charge. We do not say that it was
not warranted by statute law, but it is impos-
sible to deny that it partook largely of the
character of special pleading 1t is simply
absurd to say that Foster did not intend to
kill. How few murderers intend to kill. If
the mere intent were always to measure JUS
tice, it would be very convenient for the class
Of men to whom the unhappy Foster evidently
belongs, but it would be very inconvenient for
the public who are at their mercy. It
has been clearly proved that Foster
declared his purpose to ride on the
car as far as Putnam went; that he would

from the driver some short time before Put
nam left; that he watched Putnam going out;
that, with the car hook In his hand, he rushed
from the car when Putnam left, and that with
this murderous weapon he struck his victim
on the head at least twice, breaking his skull
into fragments. If there Is no intention
visible in all this we know not what intention
MEANS We have no desire to trampls on the
felon; but we owe the public duty, and we
can only say that If such offenders are to
escape from merited punishment life will no
longer be safe In New York city. There are
cases in which moral suason is good; but
there are cases in which strong stone walls
are better, and there are extreme cases in
which the hangman's rope Is the best. Law,
wisely and effectively administered, not
maudlin sentimentality, is the safeguard of
community. 1t is easy to say, "Poor Foster;"
but we ought not to forget poor Putnam. fever
a just verdict was rendered it was the verdict
rendered in the Putnam case on Thursday
last. We hope and pray for the happy day
when it will not be necessary for the law to
take away life; but when that happy time
comes law-abiding citizens will not be at the
mercy of the rowdy.

Prince Bismarck has yielded the main point
to the Reichstag. So the threat to resign has
been one of his many tricks after all, I'M
doubleday meant to intimidate the Reich
stag. BY alleging sickness, we strongly
suspect the astute Chancellor thought to
get up sentiment in that honorable
body. The last device is by no means
an unusual ono with injured or disappointed
statesmen and potentates, and If we mistake
not Prince Bismarck has tried it before.
According to our Berlin dispatches he has
been unsuccessful in his attempt to frighten
the Reichstag into acquiescence. His menace
to give up his power could not have been
seriously meant. He loves power too much
for Its own sake to yield up before his time
the supreme control over the affairs of Ger
many-we might almost say over the affairs
of Europe.
1t is well for Bismarck and for Germany
that the difficulty has been settled by mutual
concessions; for Germany has not yet done
with Bismarck. Germany is united, but not
yet consolidated. II requires master mind to
harmonic the conflicting interests Of the diff
ferent States Of the new empire. And who
is better fitted for this task than the chief
architect Of German unity? To deal with the
opposition that already manifests itself re-
quires tact, and at times unHnching firmness.
Both of which qualities are Bismarck's chief
characteristics. On the other hand, the Ger
man Parliament does well in resisting the main
pretensions Of the Chancellor-in keeping
tight grip on the purse strings Giving
absolute dictatorship to the government over
Alsace and Lorraine, in all else it has jeal-
ously guarded the principal sinews of power
by making all matters Of finance subject to its
control. To all appearance, therefore, con-
fict between the Reichstag and the imperial
government has for the present been avoided.
