Didn't 1t Though?
Our last advertisement brought us
numbers of purchasers all anxious for
bargains, and they got them too. We
told YOU that we meant just what we said
that we were gong to sell clothing, and
we did it. The prices were ruinous, it is
true, but then, in the face of new
season, we couldn't hold the goods, and
no respectable offer was let pass.
We have still lett few of those stylish
" made Gents and Youths suits that
must be closed out, and if you appreciate
bargains now is the opportunity to enjoy
them. Nothing is misrepresented. No
''baits" or ''decOy" offers. We expect
to make permanent customer of every
caller, and to do that we propose to send
those who do not know US away with an
impression that will bring them back
again.
We would rather let our goods lay on
our shelves and counters unsOld than to
have anyone think that they had been ill
treated or deceived. We propose to pur-
sue our original course, viz: Good
Clothing, made to fit, at the lowest posi-
BILE prices. Sign of the GOLDEN ARM, 159

CONsOLIDATION,


 Public attention has now been directed for some time to the question of the oonsolida- ton of town and city government. Its merits are pretty generally understood. It is not probable that there is anyone living within the city limits who objects to the abo- lition of the wasteful town government, If we except it's officers, some of whom appar- ently desire to serve the public little longer. The real opposition to the measure is con- fined to Westviile and ''the Annex" There the opposition is very general and very pro nounced. The residents of these sections do not object to consolidation out of any love for the town government. They are quite as ready to admit as are the residents of the city thst the town government Is extrava- eant and ill-adapted to it's purpose. But If they are to be made part of the city they do not think they ought to be taxed for the benefits of the city government, which, in the nature of the case, they will not receive It is urged that large part of ''the Annex" and no inconsiderable part of WsstviIle are still farm lands which cannot be policed or lighted and to which the protection of the fire department cannot be extended, and that it would be clearly unjust to assess city taxes upon them There is certainly good deal of force in this objection and it will not be without weight with the legislature, where it is soon to be heard, unless it Is fairly met. And there is no reason why it cannot be fair ly met in the act for consolidation to be sub mitted to the assembly. The city lines should be extended to the present town linn it's. Every vsstiRe of the present awkward dual system of government should be abolished 30 far as the Iegis- lature has power to do 1t. But 1t does not follow that every part of the city thus formed should be equally taxed. The con- solidation should be 50 effected as not to work any injustice. This might be done as in the proposed Hartford consolidation charter of 1882 by forbidding any tax above one cent on the dollar on any lands in those sections worth less than $6OO per acre, or, as Professor Baldwin suggested in his lecture before the Civil Service Reform Association, by making the tax upon these portions of the city not greater than the estimated expendi- ture for the year required by them
 The existence of the town is not necessary to just apportionment of taxation There is no need of any strife between the different sections of the town and city over this measure. The town government is not need ed or wanted anywhere. And we believe an set can be so drawn that it will receive sub stantially the united support of New Haven. A bill that Is unjust and unequal in It's pro visions will not find an easy passage through the legislature, and there will probably be no very great dihfoulty in passing one that is clearly just to all parties

co-oPERATION AT TOLDHAm.

Oldham, England, Is city of one hundred and twenty thousand inhabitants, and is noted, among other things. for the success full application of the principle of co-opera- tion which has been made there. Tho cot ton mills of Oldham are managed by corpora tions, but the stockholders are the operatives. A correspondent of the London News who is visiting the great centers of English indus- try has recently been in Oldham, and ha gives 8 very interesting account of what he saw there. And he saw some wonderful sights.
 There are in Oldham some seventy-five joint stock spinning mills, with an aggregate share and loan capital of G5, 900. 900, which, added to the amount invested in co-opera- tive stores, building societies and other simi lar organizations, makes total of e8, ,500,- 900. Three-fourths of this amount are held by the working people of Oldham and the neighborhoed. It by no means follows from this that the operatives are pecuniarily inter- ested ;n the mills in which they work, or that three fourths of them are shareholders or depositors. The majority are women and minors, and man may, and often does in
 
 another. Those who buy shares and lend money are naturally the thrifty, and the thrifty everywhere are in & minority. On the other hand the Industrial society, one of tho largest and most fourishing of the sort in the town, numbers 10000 members, all belonging to the working classe 8. This society has expended during the last few years e55, 900 in building houses for it's members, and is still building. their own cottages, and there are at least 1000 men in Oldham now working for week ly wages who are worth from e1 1000 to e2, ,O0O. The sales of the industrial and squi- table societies are at the rate of e60S. 900 8 year over the counter. They return to the members Q discount of nearly fifteen per cent. on the amount of their purchases set aside g., ,oOO year for educational purposes, and subscribe iberally to local charities. purchase their supplies at wholesale prices, and thrift encouraged by offering facilities to workmsn for investing thsir savings at good interest. Those who are not afraid of run ming little risk buy shares; those who pre- fer steady but relatively low rate of inter est place their money on deposit at or ? per cent. for all the joint stock mills accept loans, at call or otherwise, and Q con- proportion of the e5, 100000 is in this shape.
 This system Is no longer an experiment, having been long enough tried to show it's stability. The mills averaged l 4 per cent dividends In 1882, and about per cent. in 1888. The success of the systom is vory encouraging, for 1t shows that there can be intelligent and successful cooperation by workingmen. It is pity that the principle has not been more generally and successfully applied.

 DEATH OF WARREN H. BURR.
 The community will be surprised to learn of the death of Mir. Warren H. Burr, city editor of the Hartford Daily Times. About month ago he was taken to the hospital suffering from an enlargement of the liver, and under the able treatment there it in very few months be fully restored to health and able to resume his newspaper work. But week ago he was attacked with erysipelas of an aggravated form in the head. Up to yesterday his phy- siciau had hopes that he would come out of tho trouble. but the attack was too severe to be baf1ed by medical treatment, and he lin gered through the day, passing away at about o'clock last evening. He received every attention during his confinement that medi- cal skill and kind friends could offer, and up to the time he became unconscious he was very cheerful and hopeful.

 On a recent slippery morning an elderly and corpulent citizen was carefully picking his way down the street. when he noticed small boy with two front teeth gone, indus- triously sprinkling ashes on the icy walk. The elderly citizens heart bounded and his eyes gistened. With muttered word of approval he impulsiveIy pulled of his gloves and shot his hand deep down into his pocket. The boy saw the movement, heard the jim gle of silver, and smiled expectantly. The elderly citizen recovered his hand, looked fxedly at the boy, fitted the lingering re- mains of plug of tobacco into his mouth, and passed cheerily on, while the boy skt down on the hard, cold sidewalk with dull and passionless thud.

Among tho pension bills introduced in the house that of MT. Henderson of Illinois has attracted the most attention. With slight notifications 1t will, 1t Is said, receive the endorsement and approval of the pension office, and Is likely to form the basis of any pension lsgislation contemplating an exten- sion of the present pension list. The bRl proposes to grant pensions to ali persons who, having enlisted in the regular or volunteer army or navy in any wars waged by the United States, served three months, were honorably discharged, and who are unable by reason of physical disability to earn their subsistence, or who are si1ty-fvs years of age and are dependent upon their labor for srppors. This will cover all the veterans of the war of 1872, and the Mexican war, as well as those of tho war of tho Rebellion, and is in this respect 8 most comprehensive bill. It does not propose to pension everybody that served the government, only those who are in actual want, CT who by reason of age or physical disability not resulting from bad or vicious habits are unable to earn living. The requirement. of three months service Is criticised by some as being too short, and recommendation of an extension to six months has been made to meet this.

Mir. Henry Austin, architect, and MT. Charles Thompson, builder, give us some in- teresting items. The first has many of his books in his possession. From their account 1t seems that he was for time carpenter and afterwards studied architecture under Benjamin, Boston architect When seven teen years of age he taught country school of seventy pupils, and T had," said he to Mr. Austin, hard work to keep ahead of my most advanced scholars, many of whom were older than ] was, so as to help them up still higher. The result was learned more than any of them" He had wonderfully clear head, said Mir. Austin, and would have made an eminent lawyer. He talked deliberately and was fond of talking with irst-class me- chanlcs; was always inquiring of erybody, no matter who, from whom he could get in

Charles N. Taintor, one of the prominent publishers of school books in this country, gives some interesting information about the business. There are only about twenty-five firms in this country that make business of publishing school books. They do 8 busi- ness-of perhaps $s,oOo,o ,ooo year. If one fifth of the population Is of school age and a portion of that fifth does not attend school there cannot be more than 5000, ,OOO school children in the country. The allowance of $1 year for the books of each scholar is a fair estimate. The profits are not ss large as is supposed, as Rn expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars is sometimes nsc. essary before there is any profit from series of geogrsphies or readers. Only three of the school-book publishing houses are south or west of Philadelphia and Baltimore. New York has almost all the business except for one firm in Cincinnati. Two-thirds of the school book business is done by five firms Mir. Tsinter says it may cost each of the larger firms $2OO, ,OO0 a year for agents and other expenses under tho ''introduction nc- count"
