A NEW TRIAL FOR WHITAKER,

No great confidence in Whittaker's in
norence is implied in the declaration that
he should have a new trial. The investi-
CATION of the Court of Inquiry has been
wholly directed to making out case
against the colored cadet, while a gen
eral belief has existed that an inquiry
into the connection of white cadets with
the alleged outrage was especially in
order. 1t is to be noted that Prof. Green
or, Whittaker's former instructor. who
has been present at the West Point i'll
vcstigation, has lost none of his conf
dcnce in the colored cadet, but distinctly
afiirms that the proceedings of the Court
Of Inquiry have been unfair. and that its
iIndIng is unworthy of respect. "Whit-
taker has been tried in strict Star Cham
Der Style he says, land, so far as hav-
ing chance to present his view of his
own case or to destroy the numerous
hypothcscs invented against him, he
might us well have been in the inuuisi
tors room" Whatever may be thoug ht
of the expert testimony in the case, it is
certain that the country regards the trial
as having been one sided.
AS we have heretofore suggested, judy
lncnt concerning the case should be held
III suspense until the proceedings have
been reviewed by the Secretary of War,
before whom Prof. Greener is to urge his
objections to the methods by which
Whitaker has been convicted His
charge of unfairness has at least suffi-
cient force to make 4 most thorough re-
view the whole case duty. The fact is,
the interests involved in the case, apart
from the fate Of Whitaker. are SO i'm
Dcrtant, that new trial should certainly
be ordered. The nation can never be
satisfied that justice has been done if
Whitaker is punished upon the finding
Of the Court of Inquiry. The colored
race should not be made to suffer injury
without trial of more unquestionable
.mpartiality, and even if Whitaker is
guilty it will be greatly to the advantage
of West Point to have the finding of the
Court of Inquiry confirmed. Without
affirming faith in Whittaker's innocence
OF guilt we do affirm that it is best, every
way, for him to be accorded trial by
court martial. A trial in which he can
have the benefit of counsel, and an op-
Qortunity TO obtain the vindication which
Prof Greener anticipates he will at last
enjoy, is essential to the satisfaction of
the people as to his case.

ness is at end, and that in the smash up
some outside candidates will be selected.
Mr.. Blaine realizes the danger of his posi-
ten as a favorite. and the operations of
his friends in Chicago are directed by him
with the utmost caution. Secretary Sher-
man is cool and hopeful. He does not
expect a large vote on the first ballot, it
is said. but is confident that his present
strength in the convention will remain
by him and be reinforced by Grants men
when the ex-President' defeat is assured.

viii please notice that while Mr.. Fulton
enters into all the details of political

affords the best test OF the
spirit of a merchant. 1t con-
stitutes too large a part of his
trade to be trifled with; and
as he conducts that, so he
considers it wise to conduct
the rest of his business. You
have here the clue to his po-
icy. If he sells snowy silks
at a low price and calls
them cheap because they are
snowy, or if he sells heavy
silks at a low price and calls
them cheap because they are
heavy, he either does not
know his business or delibe-
rately cheats. To be snowy
is nothing; to be heavy is
nothing. A snowy silk
may be nearly all cotton; a
heavy silk may be nearly all
dye!~ .
We are frank enough to
say that few statesmen or mer-
chants can tell a good silk
from one that is not good;
and often, when a bad silk
is sold, neither the merchant
nor his salesman has a sus-
plcion of the fact.
But the great industry of
silk-manufacture, using mil
lions upon millions of capital
and thousands upon thou
sands of human lives, is not
conducted in ignorance of its
law material or Of its pro-
duct. Few undertakings of
man are based on more exact
knowledge. Do you ina
CINE, then, that there need
be any considerable uncer-
tainty about the quality of a
silk which we place before
you? There is necessarily
just this ground of uncertain
ty, and no other: a good silk
is sometimes spoiled in the
last process of manufacture,
and the fact can be found
out only by wearing it.
The buyers problem is
how to get the certain good
and avoid all that can be
avoided of the uncertain bad.
And this is the answer: buy
of a merchant whose general
plan of business is to deserve
your confidence by never be-
traying it, either through ig-
norance or Indifference; and
whose dealings are large
enough to give him the best
in the market at the bottom
of the market price.
This is all that can be pro-
fitably said about buying
silks in general. 1t covers
the whole ground and is the
whole science of buying for
persons without a special,
technical, and very rare
knowledge of goods.
But very likely you want
to know what we mean by a
good silk, and what good
silk costs. By a good silk
we mean one that will not
disappoint reasonable expec-
tations as to appearance.
either when new or old.
A good silk may be got
here for a dollar. The best
silk can be got here for two
dollars; after that, it is a
matter of weight alone. The
best and heaviest we have in
plain black silk is six-and-a-
half dollars,
We have no dealing in
any silk that we have any
distrust of; and if you want
to know what we think of
any particular piece of silk
that we sell, you can learn
by asking.
