Experience has evidently taught this man some
thing about millinery He has learned that their
prices generally at with reason and economy.
But 0urs are not. Why Because we build bonnet
conscientious carpenter should build house-buys
the materials at the lowest prices adds them the
of labor You pay the whole. If the house is particu-
ary handsome and MODERN there ought be no extra
charge that account If there should be- you would
detect it in the temzed bill which the carpenter hands
in. This is precisely the principle which we follow out
in millinery work We have a Construction
Book in which is entered every detail of every hat or
bonnet we make That book is free and open to every
customer They for themselves that the prices
charged in every instance the total of the de-
tails Because millinery work is brilliant and of an
exceptionally high order, find reason for lacking
on profit beyond that legtmaely made in furnishing
the raw materials
We have elaborated this idea because it illustrates
principle which aim to make general in all parts of
the That is protect customers and hedge
them in with safeguards that there possibility of
their being done injustice of any kind. We want
customers in trading here to feel SAFE and SURE

SENATOR EDMUNDs has taken the in
itiAtive In tho matter Of placing Gen.
Graut upon the retired list. The bill he
introduced yesterday provides that the
president may appoint and place upon
the retired list Of the army one person
from among those who have beon gen.
erals commanding the armies Of the
United States, or goneral-in'chief of said
army. Every senator" he said, would
SEQ tho object, purpose, and application OF
tho bill. IL would authorize the presi-
dent TO appoint Gen. Grant to the re-
tired list. In its form II obviated tho
difficulty observed In tho Fitz John Por-
Ter case.n Thisis In full accord with tho
position taken by The REPUBLICAN,,
that congress had tho right TO
create Pho Office Of general upon
the retired list, II II left to
tho executive tho power Of selection
and appointment We arc glad to SEQ
our views Endorsed by so able a constitu.
tional lawyer as Senator Edmunds, and
thero need be no hesitation on the part
Of congress In passing tho bill under a
suspension Of tho rules. A bill that Sem
Ator Edmunds introduces does not have
70 be revised 10 correct its constitutional
defects II congress Is 80 disposed the
bill eau pass both houses and receive the
signature Of the President this week.
