PHILADELPHIA, March 49, 1885,.
Cloths are not less worn
than usual. There is reason
for wearing them more than
usual, a double reason they
neverwere better; they never
were nearly SO low. We
mean a single sort Of cloths
dollar ladies' cloths for Is
cents. But in this single sort
there are more than twenty
colors, and more than twenty
mixtures. 8Ei
The performance of mix
lures is notable. The mix
lures are notable themselves.
Formerly a mixture meant as
even color as one could get
by mixing diherent-colored
woods. Now they are stronger;
notifies rather than mixtures.
Altogether out Of accord
with the market, these dollar
ladies' cloths at IS cents are
there for a purpose. That
purpose is to concentrate all
the trade in ladies' cloth on
them. There are plenty OF
them. There isn't a better

The True Politician.

Montgomery County Sentinell
1t has been stated that the term
politics. in its highest sense, implies
''the science of government, thatpart
of ethics which has to do with the
regulation and government of ma
ton or State, the preservation of its
safety, peace and prosperity, the de-
tense of its existence and rights
against foreign control or conquest,
the augmentation of its strength and
resources, and the protection of its
citizens in their rights" A politician
is one who devotes himself to politics.
A true politician, we believe, is the
highest type of citizen, and it is to
be regretted that there are not more
true politicians. The commonly &C
cepted definition of a politician is
'fone who is devoted to the service of
political porty, to the advancement
of all political schemes, to securing
his own promotion by artifce and
trickery." OF this kind of politicians
there are thousands. They are found
everywhere. They are not devoted
to the science of government and to
the good of the country, but to Office
seeking and petty articles. This is
the class which is composed of dema-
gogues and corruptionists. It fur
nishes the political bosses who have
done SO much to degrade politics, and
who disregard the rights, interests
and wishes of all who do not accept
them as oracles and party Leaders,
They usually have wel-organized
mobs at their command, ready to
frown down or howl down unobtru-
sive citizens who have opinions and
and know their rights, and show a
disposition to maintain them.
1t is time that the masses of the
people should realize what the true
politician is. Every good citizen may
become true politician, more or
less wise and influential, as abilities
and opportunities may vary. The
humblest man may learn to spurr
false and self-chosen leaders, who
wallow in the mire of corruption and
who care for nothing save their own
profit and advancement.
There is reason to hope that true
politicians will be more appreciated
in this country in the future than they
have been in the past. There is evil
dence to sustain the belief that the
National Administration is endeavor-
ing to draw around it good men, and
that its influence and the whole pat
ronage Of the government are being
thrown against that class of tricksters
who have brought the true politician
into disrepute. It looks as if new
era has dawned upon the country
an era in which the eyes of the people
will be opened SO that they may see
more clearly the blessings of re-
publican form of government.

Il There are doubts and uncer-
tainties mingled with hopes and an.

time to dwell on the dark shadows
of life.
