It is with satisfaction that we often hear our Dry Goods Bulletin'' referred to as . trustworthy source of information. Our aim has always been to make it such, carefully avoiding exaggerated or misleading state ments saying in it's columns only what we could act up to in the store, and at the same time keeping our customers well informed about everything new and fashionable, and duly "posted'' in the bargains we are able from time to time to offer.
 Black Silks are our specially"
 In the Housekeeping Goods Depart. ment our stock is complete. A special lot o1 the very finest quality of Marseilles Quilts imported offered at half price. Linen Sheet ing in various widths and grades bought pre- vious to the recent advance. Table Linen, Napkins, Towels, Diapers, &c., in full and regular assortment at low prices. Fine Blan- kets specially cheap. Those coming for our Winter trade will be higher than those we now offer.
 The new and handsome styles of Dress Ginghams we are showing attracted con- siderable attention, and sold well last week. We advise ladies to come and see them soon before the assortment is broken. They are superior to anything of the kind hitherto produced.
 We have opened a fine line of TOrchOn Laces, the prices of which will be found very low.
 The entire balance of our stock of Lawns, Lattice Cloths and Dress Cambrics we have again marked down. We would probably get better prices next summer for them, but we don't believe in carrying over anything of this kind 50 we make them cheap enough now to force the sale.
 Having almost closed out our extensive stock of Summer Prints, we have put in 8 new line. The styles are very choice the colors fast, and the quality of cloth the very best. We shall maintain our high standard of excellence and our low rates of profit.
 Navy Blue FIanne1s are in great de- mand, and we have them in single and dou- ble width, plain and twilled, at various pri- ces. We have also line of Suiting Flannels in other colors at uncommonly low prices.

We have over and over again shown what we believe to be the grand mistake of the temperance party in this State Year after year the temperance men nominate a ticket and support it, and thus, in reality, place themselves in the attitude of helping the party which is most notoriously given to rum drinking and rum selling, and which is not at all in sympathy with their aims. This year they may do the only party from which they can expect help serious harm. The Norwich Bulletin recently called the attention of it's temperance readers to this matter, and in the course of most sensible article said:
 The folly, the criminal folly, the incon- sistency, the needlessness of an Independent movement for the sake of temperance Is the more conspicuous when one stops to consider the records of the Republican candidates for President and for Governor of the State of Connecticut. Mayor Bigelow, of New Ha- ven, has long been allied with religious and secular organizations for the promotion of the very end which to-day's gathering at Thames grove ostensibIy has in view. Then again, General Garfield is conspicuous not only in Ohio but in that haunt and whlrl- pool of vice, the city of Washington for his courageous, persistent, manly devotion to the cause of temperance. Who has not admired the conduct of President Hayes on the tenn perance question Who does not believe that his position and policy in the White House have materially influenced the minds and habits of society on this important moral question for four years Who doubts for minute that Gen. eral Garfield would in like manner give practi- cal and material assistance to this noble cause, were he elected? A vote for Neal Dow, worthy as he is personally, is shot in the air; for he cannot be elected. A vote for Garfield goes right straight to the mark, and tells on the cause. Which reveals the sound- CT judgment, the truer sagacity, useless waste of power or careful adaptation of means to the end The lamp of reason and intellect should ever light the pathway of moral reform. The head must help the heart or the foot will go astray. Temperance men of Connecticut, take heed what you do

 This week we direct attention to our dis play of Towels. The principal feature in it will be the extraordinary value we shall give in a twenty-five cent Fringed Damask Towel There is nothing to compare with it at the price anywhere. Besides this great bargain we shall give unsurpassed value in bleached and urbleached Damask, Hucka- buck, and Turkish Bath Towels, at various prices. There is also lot of magnificent ex- tra fine double Damask Towels, exceedingly elegant goods.
 We are keeping 8 watchfu1 eye on every department and wherever we think it neces- sary we unhesitatingly make further and still further reductions. Among the articles so treated we mention Lis1e Thread Gloves, our prices on which will now be round to be out of all proportion to the value of the goods. Embroidered Ties, La- dies Fancy Hose and ParasOls may be named as instances in other departments of the same uncompromising determination to close out.
 At the same time we are looking ahead, and making active preparations to open the Fall trade in such a manner as to maintain the position we have won, and in spite of all com petition still hold, in the Dry Goods business of New Haven.

line drawn around the outer glacis of Paris would measure 34 53O metres while the military highway around the city measures B, 830 metres, or less than twenty-one miles. The space thus enclosed has diameter of 8,33o meters, or a little above five miles, from north to south, and of Il, 800 metres from northeast to southwest, and covers surface of but 1902 hectares, or very nearly thirty square miles. There are probably ten American cities which cover as much space or more. Over one-f1fth of the ground called Paris is devoted to public highways and squares; the streets have a total length of 876, 935 metres, or about 545 miles, and near 1y one-fourth of these are avenues with 8 double row of trees and an average width of 164 metres. Of "A, TAO private buildings but 22, ,455 or about 30 per cent. are directly con- nected with the sewers. The squares and public gardens cover but TT hectares the cemete.-ies 74 hectares while the Seine in the city covars 222 hectares. The whole space available for public and private buildings is ,, S58 hectares, or about three-quarters of the municipal area. The average price of real property is very nearly $120, ,ooo per acre, but differs between $1 per square foot in the twentieth precinct and s 4 in the second The 5, S5S hectares available for building are sup posed to have a marketable value of 8, 774 million francs. These estimates are based upon actual sales. If the buildings be added, the total value of real property in Paris is $t,61O, ,OoO, ,00o, and would probably bring that amount at auction. Roughly speaking, in Paris the ground represents one-third, while the buildings represent two-thirds of an average estate.

Improvements in Grove Street Cemetery
 More Needed.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 I was pleased in walking about in our Grove street cemetery, few days since, to find improvements going on, for most cer- tainly it is quite time that something was done, for there is great need of improvement. We ought to be satisfied to have four new hydrants I could hardly believe my own eyes when discovered them. Then noticed, on Laurel avenue, very many improving their lots, preparatory to having that avenue graded, curbed and turfed, as I was told. l was pleased to find that there was some one that has taken interest enough to wait upon those who own lots on that avenue to get their sanction and promise to pay for the same. I am quite sure I should be one on Locust avenue, and I know many more, that would be pleased to have the same done on that avenue. do hope our Grove street cemetery will be looked after more than it has been. Why cannot the owners of lots fix up the fences around their lots? Very many are looking badly. Then the trees are too thick. Many should come away, and l should suppose that the committee would certainly have the dead ones taken down from the avenues, as they are in charge of the avenues. A PROPRIETOR.

whole ground without hesitation or
timidity. The republicans say in
one section that s'the reviviag Ia.
dustries should be further promo
ted" and in another, lower down,
that ''the duties levied for the pur.
pose of revenue should so discrimi-
nate as to favor American labor"
which may mean anything, and was
evidently written in the hope that it
might catch in one net the protec-
tionists Of Pennsylvania and the
free trade farmers of I!linois and
the Northwest generally. It holds
out q shadowy promise toboth. The
democrats declare for ia tariff for
revenue only; public money aud pub
lie credit for public purposes selely,"
and tho party 'spledges itself to pro
tect tho werkingnan alike against
the cormorants aud the commune
There is the clear ring Of honest
purpose in these words, which may
alarm monepolists, but will reassure
legitimate enterprise and honest
tabor everywhere. Even on tue
wrctched Chinese question, where
both platforms are, IN our opinion,
bad and un-Amerieaa, the repubi.
cans halt and shuttle, while the
democrats are outspoken. Mr.. Fac.
ing.both-ways, who was evidently
the author of the republican plat
form, tells John Chiuamau that he
must go-but he tells him with q
swivel; he puts his arm lovingly
around J0hu before he stabs him;
the democrat bluutiy, but definitely,
tells him he shall not come here
''except for travel, education or
foreign commerce." which, by the
| way, are the only purposes for
which the Chinese allow Americans
| to enter China.
Finally, it must be admitted that
there is q little brag also in the
democratic platform, but it is on a
point where the party has right to
boast ofitself. 1t "has reduced the
public expenditures forty millions a
year," say the democrats, aud they
might have added that it did this
against the sneers and open aud
covert opposition Of the republicans
in Congress. This democratic boast
is well founded. They had the
courage to lie Questionable. From
the day they regaiued control Of
the House of Representatives they
have fought for rigid economy,
sometimes with poor judgment, but
courageously and regardless Of the
ontcries and resistance Of the repub.
licans. The lobby has disappeared
from Washington since the demo
Gratis ''came in;' THAT lobby which
was once so powerful that in the
last House which was under repub.
lican rule the Speaker was publicly
presented with piece Of silver as a
testimonial from "the king of the
lobby"
1t was said by one of the shrewd.
est men 10 tho democratic party
some years ago, 81 don't believe We
democrats will ever win until we
dare to be democrats" Well, the
platform this year is a genuinely
democratic platform; the party
seems at last to have turned demo.
cratic. 1t has regained its old time
holiness and directness; it dares
once more to say what it means.
Who knowsa perhaps it will win.
1t looks little that way just now.

Whatever may be said against |

he denied that it is an honest and
document, and in this
respect it is very unlike the brag-
ging and clustering republican plat.

fore, dislike the democratic DECLARE
ton that the taxes shall be spent
oniy for public aud net for private
objects. But it is the great merit
Of the democratic platform that it
says something; that it proposes
reforms to which those who have
benefited by old abuses will of
course object, but which will relieve
and benefit tho people; that it cour-
strikes at monopolists, sub
sidy mongers and jobbers. Natur-
ally monopolists. jobbersand subsidy
mongers do not like it; but then it
was scarcely to be expected that
they would. These classes, who
wish to live on the taxpayers as they
have long done, prefer the republi-
eau platform, and they are right.
That platform has nothing in it dis
tasteful to them. Where the repub.
lieas leaders did not think it pru.
dent to encourage monopoly they
cautiously said nothing, aud their
platform leaves the door open to all
tue abuses, the extravaganza and
reckless waste Of the taxes which
characterized republican legislation
before the people put the democrats
in control Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives.
It is often said that platforms
mean nothing; but, in the present.
instance, it happens that the nation.
al platforms represent pretty accu.
rately the spirit of the two parties.
The republican platform looks back
ward, the democratic platform looks
ahead. The republican platform
deals in and appeals to old and mis-.
chiev0Rs sectional issues; the demo.
cratic platform, though not perfect,
is get thoroughly national aud not
sectional in its spirit. The republi-
can platform favors OF encourages
monopolies; the democratic platform
favors the taxpayers-the people.
We have spoken Of the democratic
platform as an honest and business.
like document, and one proof Of this
is that though much shorter than
that Of the republicans it contains
all that is good aud pertinent in
that aud q great deal more besides.
The republicans in a cumbrous para.
graph speak for free education, aud
in another, equally cumbrous and
verbose, for separation Of Church
and State. The democrats cover
the same ground in one energetic
aud clear seutence, demanding "sep.
aration Of Church and state for tho
good Of each; aud common schools
fostered aud protected" The repub.
licaus talk vaguely Of protecting the
liberties of all; the democrats boldly
declare that 1.-THE right Of a FREQ bal
lot is the right preservative of all
rights, aud must and shall be main.
tanned in every part Of the United
States" We have looked for some
other points for comparison, but the
republican platform does not afford
them. 1t is weak, shallow, wordy,
