PHILADELPHIA. Friday. 0eps- Il, issS.
Trade so nearly concerns

every person III ClVlilZeQ llie
that we make no apology
Tor asking you to notice the
new light thrown upon it in
Philadelphia.
The new light we refer to
is the result OF an expert
ment. Some years ago,
casting about for a short cut
to the confidence OF the pub
lie under circumstances not
altogether in our favor, we
hit upon the principle that,
as trade OF course ought to
be a fair and equal exchange
of advantages, every buyer
ought to be satisfied with
the bargain he or she had
made, and remain so long
enough to be sure OF it. 1t
was an expedient with us
We set it up as n rule that
the buyer should have ten
days in which to finally make
up his mind. That is, if he
should change his mind with
in ten days after buying, he
should have the right to
bring back his goods and
get his money again.
We imagined people
would buy more freely with
such a privilege ; and that,
by according it in a city
whose business men are re-
'puted to be rather slow to
accept innovations, we might
concentrate a considerable
trade before any such liber-
ality should become general
The privilege, on the whole,
has proved no hardship to
US. OF course it is good for
buyers. The manifest conse-
quences to local trade are
considerable. They have
not stopped here. The effect
has become a general fact.
Trade is changing for the
better and the change is
proceeding in the very chan
incl we pointed out.

an upward tendency already
in trade, when we tried to
find ont how far it was prac-
ticable to 60 in respectingt he
rights, humoring the whims
it you please, of the buyer.
We adopted all the reforms
before us, and added these
two: the guarantee Of salts
faction for ten days (and we
strain that to mean a great
deal more sometimes), and
very frank and full statement
Of fact, for or against, about
everything we sell. The two
are one: for the second fol-
lows the first. almost as a
matter of course.
Other merchants followed
more or less closely, until it
has become almost the GUS
tom among merchants OF
standing to hold themselves
responsible, somewhat, for
the satisfaction of buyere. 1t
will not do to make the state
ment too strong. General
reforms are slow and partial.
Merchants even of he high
est rank differ in their obser-
vance OF the principle; but
the principle of the guarantee
of satisfaction is fairly started
in trade.
The obvious consequences
may be summarized as to-
lows:
]. The guarantee makes
it polite for the merchant tc
tell the truth about goods
before they 60 out; for peo-
pie will bear the impartial
truth better beforehand than
to find it out themselves. The
acreage merchant isn't so bald
a liar as he used to be.
II. The guarantee makes
a different sort Of appeal to
the public; self-respecting,not
abject; independent, not ser
vile; manly, not awning. 7Ae

III. The guarantee gives
additional scope for enter.

Mr.. Herm. Frelich, of CORTLAND, en-
route for Germany, writes US from New
York on the eve of his embarkation.
He like many others, has been laboring
under the misrepresentation that Mime
sofa was the coolest country extant,
but now he thinks differently. When
he left CORTLAND on the morning of
March 10Th the ground was clear of
snow. But at Rochester and beyond
he found plenty of snow. Even in the
States of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylva-
MIA the ground was partially covered
with snow, and on the morning of his
arrival in New York, March 29th, four
inches of snow covered the ground.
Mr.. Frelich is enthusiastic in recon-
mendation of John Kreiling's hotel,
532 Pearl street, New York, where him.
self and party stopped during their
stay in the Empire city. Mr.. Frelich,
Jorgen Tordson and G. Behme and
family sailed from New York last
Thursday morning, in the steamship
Priesia of the Hamburg Am. Packet Co.

IlSh YOU success

mlSeu LlaL Jue Cne1C was COmmlCCeQ Oy
two young men who were seen around
town the night previous. Two young
men having in possession rig answer
ing the description of the stolen pro-
perty were seen in the vicinity of Red
wood Falls on Wednesday, but moth
ing haslbeen seen or heard of them
since, though party is out looking
after the thieves
CAUGHT the above has been
put in type we learn that the thieves
have been caught. From Sheriff Alb
bolt of Redwood county, who last Mon
day placed the prisoners in the custody
of Sheriff Schmidt for safe keeping I'M
til the next term of the district court
in Redwood county, we learned the fol.
lowing particulars of the attempted
fight Of the thieves and their apprehen-
sion. After stealing the team, they
drove off in the direction of Redwood
Falls, but after travelling for several
hours they became lost on the prairie
and finally brought up at a house which
they had passed an hour or so before.
In order to be better prepared to con-
tinue their fight they put the horses in
the barn and fed them, remaining a.
bout an hour. The flight was then con-
tinued and at daylight they drove up to
house and enquired the way to Red
wood Falls. Here they also learned
that they were only about ten miles
from Lamberton. This latter informa-
ton had a terrifying effect on the
thieves and they debated the advisable
ty of leaving the team and striking off
across the country on foot. They final
ly concluded to go on with the team
and on Friday morning about 9 o'clock
they drove into Appleton, Swift county.
and put up the team in livery stable.
Before they had time to take off their
gloves and overcoats Mr.. D. w. Swim
gle, village marshal of Appleton, who
had been apprised of the theft, had
them in the clutches of the law. They
made no attempt to resist arrest and a
search revealed the fact that they had
no weapons about them. At the pre-.
liminary examination they gave their
names as Chas. ::Addington and Franz
Martenson, and said they drove into
Appleton with view of selling the
team and then lighting out for other
parts. They give their ages as 10 and
%, respectively, but Sheriff Abbott is Of
the opinion that each is older by sever.
al years. We understand that both
men hail from Iowa, but they first met
in Tracy, and they went to Lambertor
with the antention of stealing horses TO,
the purpose of making stake. Sheriff
Abbott says the thieves will plead gull
ty at the trial, in the expectation of get.
ting light sentence.
Marshal Noes and G. Oleson, of Lam
berton, were only three hours behind
the thieves, and when the former reach
ed Appleton and learned that the game
had already been bagged they natural
~ felt somewhat disappointed. We I'M
derstand that the stolen property ha,
been returned to the Gightful owners.
