CONTEMPLATED CHANGE.


For some time past Mr.. J.. Wolfson
has had in contemplation an enlarge
ment ofhis already huge establishments.
In order to accomplish this the begin
ming will be to remove the wall which
now IL dividing the several departments
up and down stairs. MIR. WollsOn now
announces that In order to make room
for carpenters and masons he Is com
PEELED to close out large stock Of car
pets and furniture entirely ut strictly
cost prices. The carpet department,
which has always been one Of Mr.
WolfsOn's speClaties, Is as yet complete
in all its branches, with rugs and
mats to match each grade, shade and de-
sign. The furniture, consisting of vari-
Gus patterns and designs of parlor and
bedroom sets, are yet complete in large
assortments, Notwithstanding the heavy
sales made during the last few days.
Mr.. WOlison informed a LIGHT represen.
tative that his announcement to close
out these goods Is made in good faith
and intended to be carried out strictly
to the letter, though, Notwithstanding
the duh times lately, there has been n
constant rush to Wolisons. Here, also,
can be found everything necessary
for the furnishing of offices and
halls In any style desired, and
dining room and kitchen furniture
in styles and qualities and quantities TO
suit the most faslidious, and ii should be
born in mind that all these goods are
sold at strictly cost prices, and while
these chances do not occur often, II is
advisable for all, whether in need or not
to avail themselves of this chance to OBJ
tain goods at prices which may never be
offered again. While special disposal
of the class of goods mentioned is de-
sired, the same kind OF reduction In
prices is made in all departments, inclu-
sive Of clothing, dry goods. fancy dress
goods and everything else TO be found
In the large establishment Of Wollson's
bazaar

who for party reasons opposed his
election
This Is not only in striking but 10
gratifying contrast with the tone Of the
few organs that have continued 70 saik
ever since the election, and the contrast
Is rendered all the more gratifying By
reason Of the fact that the Telegraph
HAS right to claim that Il speaks for
the good citizens Of the Republican
party. In the presidential cam
paign it represented the element
Of that party which. while IL con-
sidered the nomination Of MIR.
BLAINE mistake, conscientiously be-
lieyed that Republican Administra-
ton would be best for the country.
When, however, Mr. BLAINE was de-
feated, and signalizcd his defeat by an
appeal to sectionalism, and his party
threw the country into state Of de-
moralizing excitement by attempting
to falsify the election figures, the
Telegraph recognized that the death
Of Blaineism was the best thing that
could have happened. II Immediately
addressed itself to the work Of lifting
the true men Of its party above party
feeling, and Of uniting them in deter
mining not to PREJUDICE the new Ad-
ministration. Its conservatism is well
worthy Of emulation by the journals OF
both parties. We believe with the
Telegraph that Mr.. CLEVELAND will
give us what is most needed" clean,
careful, honorable. and statesman-like
administration -; but it should be re-
membered that the task he has before him
is no easy one. Democraticpapers would
therefore do well to take to heart also
the additional advice the Telegraph
gives its party elsewhere in the article
we quote from--that is, 4" support him
heartily in well-doing, and even in we'll
intentioned doings."

A dynameter is an instrument for as

ton.
The suspension of gold payments has
occurred over and over again in France
during the past ten years, and yet the
premium on gold has never at any time
exceeded one half Of | per cent. The
millions of silver legal-tender five-franc
pieces Of that country are worth less
proportionately to the gold five-franc
pieces than our silver dollars are in
proportion to our gold dollars. Every
time there is demand for gold for ex-
port the Bank of France stops paying
out gold and pays nothing but silver.
This is the state Of affairs at present.
The bank has paid out no gold for two
months past, and the only currency in
use in France is bank notes and silver
coin, with small quantity of gold
coins that are so much worn as to be
worth less than their face. Yet gold
bullion commands there only three per
thousand premium, or three tenths Of
l per cent, and the exports Of it are
inconsiderable.
II is quite possible. and even proba-
bic, that some Of our greedy and foolish
capitalists will take counsel of fears
rather than Of common sense and will
set to work boarding gold, but they will
not do it long. They may temporarily
make panic which will force gold to a
premium Of onc-half Of ! per cent. or
thereabouts, but this profit will not
equal more than few months interest,
and as soon as the fact appears the
whole business viii come to an end.
The silly talk about the terrible things
that are going to happen from the
boarding Of gold ought not to be listen
ed to. Those who repeat it do no credit
to their intelligence.

Mr.. RIDDLEBERGER grossly misre-
presents Virginia, and makes himself
ridiculous, when he uses the courtesy
Of the Senate as a means of making him
self notorious. What possible good
object can he accomplish by delaying
the confirmation of Mr.. BAYARD for
twenty-four hours. The Senate will
have to repeal the rule, or dispense with
the courtesy, which enables one senator
to put on the brakes for the whole Sem
ate if Mr.. RIDDLEBERGER shall per-
sist in his petty schemes Of spite.

In the German Reichstag Wednes-
day the question of an assistant Minis
ter for Prince BISMARCK came up, and
the measure for the appointment of such
an official was adopted by vote of l72
to 1853. The measure creates the office
of second assistant secretary in the
German Foreign Office. A cable tele-
gram says: 1.-THE vote is a submission
to popular will, which has continued to
manifest itself in the German people
ever since the Reichstag refused to ac-
cord BISMARCK the assistant, and the
Radical deputies insulted him for per-
sonally urging the matter on the 18th
day of last December"
How does this harmonic with the
theory advanced when the first vote was
taken on the measure-viz., that the iron
Chancellor was losing his grip on the
German people:
