John Wanamaker's.
Monday, August IA.

Strangers passing through Phil
adelphia are cordially invited
to make our store a sort of tar
rying-place. Handbags and
parcels may be left here under
check, with the same freedom
as at ones hotel, and with the
same convenience, without in
curing any obligation of any
sort.
We do not keep a hotel ex-
actly, not over nigh at any
rate but we do provide a free
resting-place for strangers and
take the chance of benefit ac-
cruing to us through the
spreading Of information about
our business. Indeed we re-
gard the presence of strangers
itself as a benefit, for no one
will ever see so novel a specta-
tie as the store presents, with
out a desire to know something
of the singular trade that fills
it.
The accidental and peculiar
novelty of the place brings a
great deal of attention to our
business but if there were
nothing better than idiosyn-
cracy here, our trade would
scarcely profit by the attention
Of passers-by. There are other
large stores; excellent ones,
where excellent goods are
kept. What is it, then, that
constitutes the permanent at
tractiveness of the place :?
What is it that adds
t h o u a n d S to our
daily throng, and a million to
our trade every year! Ask
the people of our city. Ask
those Of your own village, a
thousand miles away it may
be, who may happened to have
learned the way to us by mail.
Ii we were to put in a few
words what constitutes the real
attraction here, we should say
that we make a business O
looking after the interests O
our customers. Others do the
same to a generous extent
But it is said of us every da,
that we go beyond reason in
looking after the interests o
our customers. We do moi
mean to go beyond reason
but when people say that we
do go beyond reason, the,
thereby say that we are fore,
most in liberal dealing.
What constitutes the specta.
Gle here is the multitude /; the
trade the provision to meet
it that has grown up with tho
trade; the facilities for hasten
ing the necessary delays il
transactions; the provisions fol
the comfort of our own people
OF buyers and of visitors /; tn,
seeming forgetfulness of costs
prodigality of benefits.
1t is nothing but business
Nothing is here for show
nothing for illusion. Their,
isn't a more transparent glas
house anywhere. Everythin.
you see has its reason in plail
business and that business i
to give the people much 70
little-nOt to seem to do it, bu
to do it.

SINCE THE whipping post has been cs-
tablished with good results in several other
States, we hear much less of the howl about
Delaware's barbarity in the treatment of
petty criminals, which used to come with
myarying regularity from the journals of
northern cities. Evidently the good points
of the post are being generally admitted

IHE MORNING ORGAN says the Republ-
cans have bagged all the harmony " there
is in the State. Very likely we thought it
was concealed in some secure retreat, as it
has not been visible in the Republican ranks
for a long time. 1t was plain enough, how
ever, thatit was not locked up in a safe or
Chairman Harrington would have had it
out long ago.

The Match Tax.

In their efforts to make political capital
out Of the match tax and at the same time
indulge in their favorite pastimc of abusing
Senator Bayard the Republican journals are
simply giving additional evidence of their
inconsistency and readiness to take hold of
any question in any manner that seems
likely to create a favorable sentiment for
their side, utterly regardless of all principle
involved in the matter.
We may state here that THE GAZETTE is
now and always has been opposed to any
taxation not demanded by the actual neces-
stiles of the Government. But how anyone
can oppose the match TAX In one breath and
support the present system of internal taxa
ton, of which the match tax is u part, with
all its oppressive burdens, in the other, is a
matter past all reasonable comprehension.
The tax on matches though an onerous and
unreasonable burden, does not bear near so
heavily upon the workngmen of this
country as the impostions of the indirect
system of impost duties, which tends to
largely increase the cost of the neccssaries
of life, and produces such an enormous sur
plus revenue that thievish Congress was
encouraged to descend to the most out
rageous depths Of jobbery and corruption in
order to eXpend it.
Doubtless Senator Bayard has ample and
sufficient reasons for his attitude upon this
question, but his opinions in the matter,
whatever they may be, do not alter the fact
that the Republican party is alone, through
its representatives in Congress, responsible
for the maintenance of this and other taxes
that are generally considered unnecessary.
With an ample majority in both Houses
the Republican members could have
reduced the burden OF taxation to the lowest
possible limit, but instead they allowed the
laws to remain unchanged and devoted their
entire energies to securing and squandering
the immense revenues wrested from the
people by the existing laws. They failed to
relieve the people when they had the oppor-
tunity and can not now escape the RESPONSE
bility of their criminal extravaganza.

Mr. ALBERT CtRREY the Republican can
didate for Governor is sadly prosecuted
man. Not content with depriving him of the
privilege of running his own campaign, his
party trainers will not even allow him the
satisfaction Of spelling his name as he
pleases. The morning organ insists that lie
shall spell it without an !" ana
in this matter as in others we presume it re-
ceiyes its Instructions from no less an
authority than its boss burglar chairman OF
the State Central Committee from whom
all orders, great and small, must now
emanate. 1t is understood that the
" Boss sometimes allows Mr.. Currev, but
one "r' and judging from his flching
propensities it is a wonder that he has not
stolen from his candidates name all the
letters beyond those barely sufficient TO indi-
cate his patronyonic. If Mr.. Currey comes
out of the campaign with anything more
than his initials he will be lucky man.

FEW DAYS AGO the morning organ in
quired with very Pecksniflian assumption
ofsuperior goodness if EDc,y EDcndg was
not trying to confuse the voters
of the State as to the correct spell
ing of the name of Mr.. Albert
Currey the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, for the purpose of facilitating ballot
box tricks. But it appears that our af
ternoon contemporary spelling was
correct, and SO the morning organ
must perforce plead guilty, in addition to
its general ignorance Of Delaware politics.
even to lack of knowledge with reference
to the correct spelling of its party candi-
dates name. Pecksnifllanjsm never did
thrive in the Diamond State and the morn
ing organ might as well give it up.
