The authorship of the dramatic produc-

on this latter subject than the most pro-

GREETING

To the Citizens of Newark and
Vicinity.
Being entire strangers to most of
you, tits but fitting, as we have open
ed Clothing and n Tailoring Es-
Enlistment in the metropolis State
that we tell you who we are and
the kind of business we propose to
do.
At present we are running two
very large stores, one in Baltimore,
Nd, where we have been establish
ed for forty years and one in Wash
ington, D. O., where we have been
for fifteen years. In each place we
have scored n wonderful success.
This success we attribute to our
method of doing Misunderstanding
a dollars worth for every one spent
with us.
Business to be conducted proper
ly must be conducted on business
principles. The merchant must be
an economist, and Il scientist. He
must be an observer, and a student.
The old-fashioned way of doing bus
mess is played out" This is
modern day, and men, not only
merchants, but lawyers, doctors,
professionals in every life must be
experts.
The bare name of merchant"
has no significance. 1t is the bust
ness he does. The manner in which
he does it that gives him importance.
We'will not be proud or stuck up.
We think. in fact know, that every
one does not do business as we do.
Our goods are all marked in plain
figures, from which there is no
deviation.
We propose to be first" last and
all the time Delaware Clothiers and
Tailors. We believe in the people,
we have confidence in them. That's
what brought us here.
When you know us better, we
are confident you'll believe in us.
There will be sort of Fraternal
Friendship.
Furthermore, we don't do policy
business. That is, we don't smile at
one person and frown at another,
because we think there's difference
in their pocketbooks.
We are merchants who deal with
every one alike. The poor mans
dollar is as good with us as the rich
mans 100 cents. We are polite to
all. We are available to all. That
is the principle of our houses.
We are temporarily located at
Crosby IL Hills old stand, 220 and
222 Market street, until our new
store, 200 Market street, is finished.
Our stock of Mems Boys and
Children's Clothing and Tailoring
comprises most of the best Ameri-
can and foreign makes.
We can sell you a good All-Wool
Suit or Overcoat from $40 to S35,
and then as low as S..
Your boy Suit or Overcoat from
$3.50 up to the finest garment made.
ID and Is, then again as low as 50.
The Merchant Tailoring Depart
ment contains nearly one thousand
different styles of Suits to order
from $40 up. Pants to order from IS
up.
Come in to see us. We will be
glad to shake hands with you and
make your acquaintance. No i'm
portuning to buy.
Our legal guarantee goes with
every purchase.

The STARTLING intelligence comes
from the Erening Journal that THE
LEDGER "revels in secondhand news
and bad grammar" THE LEDGER
may be guilty of the latter crime,
but of the former never. Nothing
stale enters these columns,-not
even plate matter. The Journal is
very, very unkind to refer to the un-
grammatical sentences that find
their way into THE LEDGER. How
ever, we feel assured that our mis-
takes are not of such nature rs

hosts of readers. Bad Grammar,

of that great one-cent intelligence

NATURALLY, considerable bitter
feeling was stirred up during the
political canvass, but that feeling
should be smothered now, as the
battle is over During the heat OF
the struggle words were used that
should have gone unsaid and re-
plies made that should never have
been uttered. But, now, let all diff
ferences be healed in true, manly
fashion. Let every one throw aside
political feelings, and go to work
and by so doing create business.

Now that the Republicans have
elected a President, we will watch
with interest the course he will pur-

New CASTLE county was true to
her faith, and the whole Democratic
ticket was elected. The election OF
Alvan Allen for Sheriff must meet
the hearty approval of every good
citizen. His opponent, William
Simmons, also stands high in the
city of Wilmington, and if elected,
would have proven a very efficient
officer. The ticket elected comprises
the names of very excellent men
with a possible exception.

HUNDREDS of theories are being
advanced as to the cause of Cleve-
lands defeat. The most plausible
reason can be attributed to the split
in the party in New York, whereby
Hill was elected Governor, which
resulted in the defeat of the Chief
Executive His lienciency in GUST
ing ollice-holders lost him votes all
over the country. His bold mes
sage on the Tariff, which should
have given him a surprising major
ing, only resulted In helping defeat
him.

Chicago Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, Feb 23-The markets opened
fairly active today with prices weak and
tending downward. The greatest depress
ion i'm all the pits occurred before II a. M,
when mess pork for May sold at 1880,
lard at s6 S2l4, May wheat at 191sc, corn at
GO3Ec At noon there was slight reaction
with pork at S14. wheat S0Isc. corn at 507&c.
The lowest points touched, compared with
ahe closing sales on Tuesday, showed pork
22l5c lower. wheat %mlc lower, corn just
Ic lower. There was general dullness after
the first hour of trading.
In the wheat market the depression was
caused by the mild weather and the selling
nf quite lot of long wheat and the reac-
tion by the purchasing of nearly million
bushels of wheat by a single house. May
opened at S0l50S0@5c, declined to 1870,
reacted to SO1sc and finally closed at the
lowest figure reached-791c.
Corn was also affected by the mild
weather, which was freely used as a bear
argument. The receipts, too We're fairly
large and expected to be still larger tomor-
row. May opened at 5l1sM5l &C. sold off
to 5O9Sc, reacted slowly to j015c and closed
at 503sc.
Oats were easier, being Influenced largely
by the weakness of the other cereals. May
opened at Sic and closed at the lowest fig
ure of the day-30%c.
Provisions were moderately active early.
but later in the day became dull. The
same bear party who have been hammer
ing the market for several weeks resumed
their usual tactics and sold the product
more freely than buyers were able TO take
it. \ weak and unsettled feel
ing developed and prices OIL
all speculative articles ranged lower,
and although inside figures not maintained
at the close, the last sale was at decline
of l2i4c on pork, sarge on lard and 715c
on short ribs from closing sales Tuesday.
