The resolutions adopted by the
Stems Creek Alliance, which we
repuhlish on the first page, is a very
significant straw, that goes to show
the estimation in which Governor
Lowry is held by the Alliance in
general and Stems Creek Alliance
in particular. Governor i,owry's
action, when waited on by the COM
mittee from the. State Alliance,
stamped him at once aud forever, Us
being infinitely too small TO fill the
high and responsible position to
which he had been called by the
voice of the people of the great State
Of Mississippi.

Or course Senator Colen Ferguson
makes the usual mistake Of men misrep-
resented by newspapers when he accuses
the EVENING JOURNAL Of pure invention
in respect TO our report Of the alleged
Democratic Senatorial caucus in this
city. II Is a common belief that reporters
occasionally invent reports If they did
they would be infinitely smarter than the
rest Of the community. Everything
printed in newspapers nowadays has some
foundation. Somebody talked to the
reporter or the reporters friend. There
was excellent ground for our report
of the proposed caucus Of the Delaware
Senators, and If Senator Ferguson will
do us the honor to call at this Office we
can convince him of this ia five minutes.
IL is somewhat amusing to note that Sen
ator Ferguson undertakes to prove to the
gorld that his interview with Senators
Crossan and Donahoe at the p, w. &B.
station was entirely informed and the
conversation general by declaring that
Colonel Enoch Moore Joined the party.
We always thought that Colonel Moore
was as good a Democrat as Senator Fer.

PHILADELPHIA. Monday. Dec. Il. 1885
Unqestionably the widened
aisles, new staircases, central
elevator, and general clearing
away of Instructions make it
possible to serve at least ten
thousand more people a day
with even less crowding than
heretofore. If we could serve
10000 a day last year we can
now serve $4,000 and more,
and do it comfortably too.
We are always improving.
If we were to keep on printing
about it, we could make per-
petual alteration sales. You
may expect Improvements here
constantly without our talking
about them.
The store is more a store
now than ever. Lighter,
brighter, completer. Our ideal
IS being realized.
The basement has ample
outlets and is more conven-
lent.
The first floor is so arranged
that things can be more easily
found and is regulated to pre-
vent overcrowding by a system
which experience has taught US.
The second floor, now SO ac-
cessible. and popular, presents
an entirely new arrangement
of stocks. This part of the
store seems to contain miles of
bewlldering pleasure. An ever
varying exhibition of silver
and art articles. In the
middle of the second
floor the centre of attrac-
tion isthe Pneumatic Tube Sys-
TEN, gathering the money from
all parts Of the store in plain
view of everybody-a good
place to take strangers.
The third floor is where we
keep Furniture store. The
whole Of this two acres is given |
up to Furniture. And every
thing is side by side for com
parison, and not on different |
floors as before, and as other
folks have it.
1t would be hard not to fall |
in love with the store now un-
der its new conditions. There
is certainly room for 10000
more persons. See if you
don't think SO when you look
at the Strengthened aisles, the
broadened, easy-going stair
ways, the spaces given to Gus
toners for elbow room, or to
wait for elevators, or to see
things
The store is a sight, that's a
fact; working up to-day to its
full capacity; "a great and in
teresting OCCASION" as the
newspaper reporters would put
it.
The life Of a year Of prepar-
alton blooms out in these few
days. We have but little to
say about it, as what we are
doing day by day is what we
are in business for; keeping the
best of the best goods and serv-
ing our customers in the best Of |
the best ways. There is snoneed |
Of being ashamed of this kind |
Of storekeeping. And people
will surely find out in the
course of time the value of ser
vices such as these-even with
out 50 much newspaper adver-
tising.
