It's a Cold Day

When we get left when the weather is in sea-
son; but we must confess that we have been
left on a great many goods which would have
moved from our shelves without any further
reduction from our already low prices but for
the mild, balmy weather and, no doubt, tive
had patience to wait for the "cold days" we
could get 20 per cent. more for our stock than
the figures we give you below. But our ambl-
tion to trade is of such nature that when we
conclude to make a slash into our prices we
never grieye at what we have done. You Oll
know that these remarks are honest facts and
therefore we will not dwell on this point, but
show you at once what big list of goods we
have to buy from.

4 ALLENTOWN, Pa, Feb. ia stranger
came to the Lehigh county prison this
afternoon and confessed to having muir
dered John Sharpless, the old Quaker
farmer, near Chester, on November 90,
last. He made the confession because, as
he said, he did not want to see the negro
johnson, now under arrest, hanged for a
crime that he had committed himself. He
gave his name as John Cokely. He is
about forty-fve years of age, of medium
hight and slight form. He has black
moustache and side whisllers streaked
with gray. He was calm and composed
when he made his statements, and seemed
to be entirely rational He is boiler
maker by trade, and worked ut Roach's
ship-yards in Chester at the time of the
murder. Since then he has been in Flor
ida and Virginia. Detective Smith, on the
strength of his confession, has had Cokely
arrested on the charge of murder. The
prisoner says that Judge Clayton, at Media,
before whom he expects to be tried, is o
Quaker, and he has no fear of being hung
for the crime,

Cleveland and Oiyii service.


The bearing upon this question Of the
present hostile attitude Of the Republican
senators toward the President has already
been indicated in these columns. The for
mer are trying to extort from the latter an
admission that he has removed Republic
cans and appointed Democrats for purely
partisan reasons. They know that they
cannot restore the suspended officials, and
probably do not wish to do so ;but they
are striving to establish from the Presi-
dents action a precedent that will Justify
them in reclaiming the offices should they
succeed in electing a President. The
people, however, see that the Presidents
purpose of separating office holding from
politics cannot be accomplished while all
the offices are filled with adherenis of one
party, and that the party rejected at the
polls, who were appointed to their places
through political influence as n reward for
