WANAMAKER'S
PHILADELPHIA, Monday, June II. 1885

One of the most curious
mercantile incidents hap
pening lately is the introduc-
ton of English waterproof
serge.
1t isn't the usual way for
a foreign maker OF high.
class dress stufs to go to a
retail merchant to introduce
a new production. He goes
to a jobber. The jobber
sells it to retail merchants
all over the country.
This North of England
maker tried the usual way
and failed. The serge was
fine and costly. The water
proof notion was old and
never had been successfully
carried out. The merchants
were shy OF it. Somehow
The came to US. Within a
month the merchants are
CRAZY for it.
A year ago we introduced
lClairette for another North

merchants would IT touch it,

THE DEMOCRATS OF New Castle
County having fortified themselves be-
hind their election laws with twelve
Dem ocraic collectors TO enforce them,
have been laying back expecting the
Republicans TO come on and get knock
ed out again. But the Democrats will
have to walt In vain. Tue Republicans
decline to accept the unequal gage OF
battle, and the De nocrats will have to
hunt foe elsewhere.

The temperance men Of Vermont
have insisted upon running temper
ance ticket In the. State, because they
said neither Of the other parties would
recognize In their platforms the prin-
ciple Of prohibition. At the late State
Convention of the Republican party
that convention adopted the folio wing
resolution:
Resolved, That we deplore the multi
| form evils Of intemperance, we re.Afhrin
the position of the Republican party in
this State upon that question, and de-
clare that, In our opinion, the prob !
bition of the liquor traffic as Expressed
| in our statutes be and should remain
the settled policy of the Safe; that as
the LIQUOR saloon is as debasing in poll
tics as 1t il baleful In social life, the Re-
publican party should everywhere re-
| iect all oyertures for open or secret
alliance with 1t, and that the State
lCommittee this day appointed be In
structed to select delegates to represent
| this State In the coming National Anti
Saloon Conference, which has been
called to meet in Chicago.
| 1t will strike most reasonable minds
that 1t the temperance men OF Vermont
were sincere this should satisfy them,
bat strange to say they are not satisfied,
and their opposition TO the Republican
party is as strong as ever, proving that
partisauship is . stronger factor In theii
course than principle. What they de-
sire, 1t would seem, is not the scccess
LOT temperance doctrines 80 much IS that
lof q so.called Prohibition party, and
they are willing to postpone the reform
'they affect to be devoted to, indeh nitely
rather than extend aid and approval tC
la movement, the establishment O
which will leave their political organi'
cation without any further motive fol
le6istence. By refusing the proffered
aid OF the Republicans OF Vermont, th'
tem perance men OF that State have dis
solved the allie glance Of many well
thinking persons frem the Prohibition
lists, whose purposes seem to have beer
more to rule than to reform.
