but we must be content by saying that THE TIMES contains an able editorial entitled "Sapping the Foundations. !" Said editorial contains quotation from the Rutland Herald, the Vermont republican organ. The Times also quotes from the New York Herald, and also has an article on "The Secret Ballot" quoted from Mir Arthur E. Bowers letter in the Manchester Herald The Danbury Register has strong editorial entitled "The Secret Ballot. "

The politicians who obstruct reform in both parties may ere long find them selves shelved, for the better element in all parties is becoming aroused aud of many politician it will be written, "Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting."

Bridgeport Enterprise.

Messrs w. B. Hall x Co.,, the acknowl- edged leaders in sealskin cloaks, dress goods, silks and cloth newmarkets, are now importing their cashmeres and Henrietta cloths direct through the Bridgeport custom house. The Bridge port Farmer thus refers to this prosper ous firm:
 The question is often asked why it is that the firm of w. B. Hall & Go. are enabled to maintain their enviable position as leaders In the dry goods traffic. From among many correct answers two may be cited: Bold yet judicious advertising. and careful study of the needs and catering to the wishes of the ladies, without whose patronage success would be impossible. To the first it must be conceded that no firm in Connecticut is more painstaking aud diligent, or expends more actual cash than they. In every newspaper worthy the name, at every business centre where reading people congregate may be seen continually the name of w. B. Hall & Co.,, and the multitudinous wares they have to offer. Thus through the medi- um of printers ink, the employment of which is warranted by the facts to which it relates, this firm in their line of spe- cialties have risen high; and among the people as we'll as the shoppers their name has become household word At all seasons of the year, but with effort specially exerted in autumn and spring, this firm ransack markets, hold com munion with manufacturers and main- tain conferences with jobbers and mid dlemen, and with all who have textile productions to offer, in order to keep replenished stock comprising all that makes dry goods show complete Rel ative to the second it may be said that ladies possessing costly, elegant dresses are like those owning original paintings, there is delightful sensation experi- enced in the consciousness that nobody for love or money can get anything like them. Copies may appear, but the orig inals will stand alone in their individual beauty. Hence the lady who purchases the material for fine dress of Messrs Hall does so pretty we'll assured in her own mind that some other lady will find it difficult to get one like it. To the fair buyer this consciousness is worth more than the price she pays. The chromo would find place in art circles, the little fact that everybody can have one also by the expenditure of mere pittance. To these two answers should be added third, the stock of good things held in reserve by the Messrs Hall for their customers is always great l CT than that placed on view.
