Safe Clothing.

There is probably no cloth
ing-maker anywhere in the
world that is entitled to be
relied on so completely for
the quality ofeverything that
enters into clothing as Oak
Hall. 1t would be in bad
taste, at least, for us to say
this, five hadn't a particular
ly clear demonstration of the
fact. o..7
In the first place we make
clothing enough so that we
can afford to watch what
goes into ito know what
it is made of. Is it too much
to say that we do know?
In the second place every
thing we sell is liable to come
back to us, if found wanting
in any quality it ought to
have-worse than that ; it is
liable to come back if the
buyer has the least doubt
about the goodness Of it.
Which is hardest to be-
lieve, that we make our cloth
ing safe, or that we take such
chances on anything but the
safest of everything?

MR. CoNkIINe's REsIeNArIoN.

Me-. CoEkLINe's REsraNATroN.--f
It would be folly for any one to pre-
tend to deny that Mr.. Conkling is
great orator and . man Of extensive
requirements in all that goes to make
up the accomplished lawyer and pro-
found thinker and brilliant advocate.
But notwithstanding all this is true,
1t only goes to show that great men
arc liable to be led by their own self
esteem TO do things that men of much
lighter caiibre wonld not be guilty of.
This 10 apparently the pit into which
Mr.. 0onkiing has fallen. It may not
prove his political grave. But If it
does mot, he will only be enabled to
recover from it by reason of his great
oratoricai powers. A man Of less
ability by such resignation would
certainly have. sconsigned himself to
privsss lifesa Stripped of all the para
phernaliA Of party machinery, the
resignation presents Mr.. 0onkling AZ
abandoning . great Office because he
has NOT received sufficient pay or be-
cause the President does not give him
. portion Of the patronage Of the
Presidential oifiee to control In such a
way ~ 10 help him to higher Office and
greater influence than he is able to
exert without the disposal of such
patronage % may be used in political
bribery. tH4eeg ."
The Democratic party may from
this see what the Democratic leaders
In the several States have had to en-
counter. Oficia, salaries are not
only raised to secure money from
ofioe holders to carry elections; but
governmental patronage has been
given to men In order that they might
use It to SECURE THAR own election.
In this way have the votes been Sc
Dared in the Legislatures to gerry
mahder New York and other States 80
that 0 majority Of Democrats cannot
DO elected though the State be carried
by'fifty thousand majority. We are
told By Republican papers that "Mr.
Conkling ownr the New York Legisla-
turs. that 1t sought to and will re-
elect him to the Senate" The secret
Of this lies in the fact that they ex.
pect from him the qoid pro quo in the
hops OF office for themselves, their
relatives or friends. Conkling favored
high salaries and plenty Of them. He
used them for his own aggrandize-
ment, and to fasten an. expensive
government upon the people to reduce
them 70 poverty and render them
helpless.Z II is by following this
course that the Republican partisan
have made il next TO impossible for ths
Democratic party to defeat them
Such . result cannot be hoped for un
lsas there is . general revolution il
opinions--a tidal wave that canno
be resisted. It would be o. happ
thing IL such . revolution should b
the result Of the exposure of the Semi
toriat conspiracy through Copkling

pieces of carelessness on record was perpe-
trated the other evening by one of the
Chicago, St. Paul. Minneapolis and Oma-
ha switchmen, at Hudson, Wis. 1t seems
he had opened the switch on the dump"
of the lake, where the River Falls track
connects with the main line, for the pur
pose of letting an engine down onto side
track, and then forgot to close it. The
result was that regular freight train,
coming along soon after. had the engine
and four heavily loaded cars ditched. and
the road was obstructed for about three
hours. The night express and Wisconsin
Central trains were delayed in consequence
and the only wonder is that an extensive
smash-up did cot ensue. The switchman,
of course, was not long in getting his
walking papers, and the company is doing
all in its power to repair damages.
