A resume.
All Of the dusty goods from
the great Easter Occasion
couldn't find room on the coun-
ters assigned them in the White
Goods (fourth circle, southwest
Of centre), and Dress goods
(east Of main aisle, north Of GEN.
tre), and consequently more
will be added this morning.
What are the dusty goods ?
Many-most--of them bright
as ever. Only, having been on
exhibition. their character is
compromised. off with them
at half.
Why half? Simply that even
hyper-criticism may not impute
blemishes to the stock because
of the exhibited goods. The
thought Of stock freshness must
never wilt here.
Really half? IS cent stufs
at IS, shilling goods for 8 cents,
6 cent prints at 8. There is a
Pandora's price-box. Yes, half
and less is the average.
In the lot are bright new
Zephyr Ginghams, new French
Sateens, Robes OF sorts and
sorts. Bad company may COM
promise the prices, but the
goods, never.
You can treat your pocket
book tenderly in this lot. The
chance is to-day.

An Unprejudlced Opinion.

Judge Patterson has sentenced the
Indiantown ballot.box suffers to q year
and two weeks imprisonment, The pun.
ishment Is much too severe for the Of
fense, for which the two weeks,
with the year omitted, would have
been a quite adequate penalty.
1t is q Republican family matter alto.
gether, In which we have no interest
whatever, but as we are looking on 1t
from the outside, more unpreju ejudiced than
the good lady whose husband was tuss.
ling with the bear, we think that our
opinion Of what the sentence ought Ia
have been is very likely to be Just.
We said, In approving the mild sentence
given by Judge Livingston to the Sixth
ward men, that 1t sufliced, because the
law is new one, putting q penalty up
on a political practice 80 common that
1t was not looked on as a crime, but as an
effort Of one part Of family to cheat the
other sort OF partnership tussle In
which the partners ought to be left to do
pretty much as they please to win.
VI course 1t Is wrong and Is rightly
punished but there Is no use in dropping
down too hard upon the first conviction
and in this case 1t was especially wrong
to punish the Indiantown men so much
more severely than the Sixth ward people.
The first were convicted of conspiracy, it
is true, which required imprisonment ;
but everyone knows that the Of
fense OF the one crowd was
no greater than that of the
other, and very short imprisonment
should have been imposed.
Judge Patterson is naturally disposed
to severity, as Of Scotch-lrish blood |;
and doubtless the leniency Of Judge Liv-
ingston did not tend to incline him the
came way these two judicial oaks never
do bend in the same direction II they can
help il.

CHARLES EMORY SMITH was probably
no. consulted about the hodge podge OF a
Republican Platform that was adopted In
Harrisburg on Wednesday. 1t has been
the custom In these Republican gatherings
TO have some OF the literary "iellers'' bring
q platform with them, which would be cut
and dried and agreed upon In advance.
This seems to have been neglected this
year, and the platform is therefore more
than usual tissue Of sbsurdities. The
Press says OF the tariff plank "Concern.
ing the question OF the surplus, 1t does not
mean what 1t says and does not say what II
means 1t says spend the surplus which
the Republican party does not mean, and
It means legitimate appropriations for vital
objects OF public defense and the reduction
OF the surplus beyond this, which It does
not say" With q sigh OF disgust at the
whole performances, the Press says "The
real platform OF the party will be m ade at
Chicago in June"

Many hold France to be. unworthy Of

90 often failed to uphold them, but II our
geographical position had been similar 10

escaped the political pitfalls laid by the
secret emissaries Of neighboring powers,
who imagined that their own peace at
