FRENCH SATEENS,

The new ones are here. Not
the highest cost, 81 cents a
yard. You need not know
the makers; call them Wanna
makers for we control this
market on them.
This is the hub of the Sateen
trade. You may get a notion
from the fact that the 10000
yards in store to-day are only
one-fourth of a single order.
And then other orders on both
sides Of the sea. Watch the
season and you will know how
great they are.
The first peep at the styles
an artists first view: Fifty
three plain shades. Gobelins
and mahogany, zouave-red and
baby-blue, serpent and cream:
rainbows divided and multi
piled. And for figures, stripes
with trailing vines, stripes with
polka dots dancing all about,
stripes holding up plaids;
plaids with over-plaids; palm
patterns, and double o's in
volved like a juggler's rings.
This rattle about styles may
do 20 some good. Not much
unless it bring you to see the
stuffs.

II is one of the conditions OF a free
government that there shall be no L.
cense. Liberty is opposed to unregu-
lated power OF any kind. Under a re-
public like that formed oY the United
States, there is no one who is not under
restraint, and a restraint imposed by all
citizens in behalf of every one. Rights
are preserved and defended by means
of restraints which are both accepted
and demanded by every good citizen.
1t is because the restraints OF the law
are voluntarily assumed and agreed to
by the people that Anarchists are Sc
verely dealt with in this country, as
criminals against laws which were made
by citizens. Ii is because of the gen.
eral acceptance of the laws and their
restraints that strikes against working
men cannot be successful IN the United
States, for one of the principles that
obtain here is that no man can be pre-
vented from earning his living. This
does not, of course, exclude competi-
ton, but if man is unable to hold his
own he is taken care of with an album
dant charity that has never been known
before. Therefore the strike against
the woman who insisted on the right of
employing non union bakers, the strike
of the street Car conductors and driv-
ers, and that of the coal handlers after
the demand had grown to include the
relations between transportation COM
panies and freight handlers, have been
failures. The atmosphere of the coun-
try does not agree with tyrannous move
ments which are intended to drive men
into organizations or out of work. Mo-
nopolies OF effort are not fostered by
our laws and institutions, and strikes
directed against working men must al
ways result, as this last strike will end,
in the discontinue OF those who under
take them.-Ee.

A DESPATCH from Chicago says that
the Socialists of that city have obtained
control of the local assembly of Knights
of Labor there. This is bad for the
Knights and will not do the Socialists
any good. The Knights, to become a
power in any American community,
must be thoroughly American, reject
ing everything tending towards Social
ism and Anarchy, which are outgrowths
of an entirely different state of society
from that which obtains here. What
ever may be said of Socialism in the
abstract-and it has had some few dis
tinguished and pure minded advocates
it is IN effect mere stepping stone
to Anarchy and Nihilism, though the
oretically as much opposed to these as
to existing laws of property. The
Knights of Labor have great deal to
contend with as a labor organization.
They should not add to their troubles
by getting mixed up with the vision,
aries who begin with vague Socialistic
projects and end by joining hands with
murderous Anarchists of the Chicago
tune

WHAT a snare and delusion Civil
Service Reform has become under the
present administration is amply shown
by the list of changes in the depart
ments of the Government presented by
Senator Hale in his speech. before the
Senate on Wednesday. The exhibit
shows that up to June II 1887 out OF
1910 presidential postmasters there
had been 1000 changes out of 81, 600
fourth-class postmasters there had been
10000 changes out of 80 foreign min
listers, 81 changes; out OF 81 secretaries
of legation, 10 changes; out of III
collectors of customs, 100 changes, a.

special agents of the General Land
Office, but 4. At this time (June 1887
the emocra,ic administration had been
but little over two years in power.
And yet, in the face of this list of
sweeping changes, President Cleveland
is represented as saying, 81 have tried
to be true to my own pledges and the
pledges of my party. We both prom
ised to divorce the offices of the coun-
try from being used for party purposes"
The record shows how sincere these
promises were, and how relisiously (?)
they have been kept.

WE are not sure that there will be
any practical outcome of the ''road"
meeting held in this town Oh Tuesday,
not because the meeting was not a re-
spectacle one botn in Intelligence and
numbers, but on account OF the diver
sity of opinions prevalent as to what
constitutes the best system. 1t will be
noted that an apparent majority of
those who attended the NEE TIM on
Tuesday favored the present law with
the proposed amendment adopted,
changing the time of the public sale Of
the roads from April to June in each
year. Beyond an exchange of indl
vidual opinions this seems to have been
the only practical accomplishment of
the meeting. We believe that the pres
ent road law is generally regarded fav-
orally in the county so far as it en-
bodies the contract system, but
the opinion is also general that it is
encountered with a needless number of
officials whose services and salaries
could be abolished with profit to our
taxpayers, and without detriment to
the roads of the county. In other
words, that the system under the pres
ent law contemplates number of off
GERS whose work can be successfully
done by the County Commissioners
themselves at less public expense. This
would seem to be a desirable end to
attain by legislative aid, and while the
amendment proposed on Tuesday meets
public approval, it would have beer
well, in our judgment, had the meeting
formulated a further modification of
the present law by recommending to
the Legislature an amendment simpli-
flying the present system and reducing
the number Of practically useless officers
under'it.

BRUNSWICK, GA, ian. 10th, 1888.
Mr.. Editor: can hardly realize that
YOU have in Maryland such weather AS
reported in the papers-snow, sleet, slush,
and the SuSquehanua blocked with ice,
" lille here it is as balmy as the month Of
June would be in Mary land. The past
week particularly has been extremely
pleasant, the thermometer at noon reg
istering 79o to $50 in the shade, and at
sunrise 500 to 60. On one or two days
in December we had light skim of ice
in the early morning, but with these ex-
ceptions the weather has been delightful.
The 'Oslethorpe Hotel" of which
wrote you in my last, was thrown open
to visitors last evening, and availing my
self of the opportunity, in company with
Mr.. Mccullough and his family, passed
all through the grand hotel, inspecting
everything from the culinary department.,
to the magnificent parlors and cham bers,
all furnished in beautiful style with every
convenience ina ginable. The house was
crowded with visitors during the hours of
reception, from to II o'clock. MANY
were present from distant points in the
u. s. The impression prevailed among
all that South of New York thare is not to
be found a better arranged hotel in the
country, aid uLder ''the management of
Mr. Crittenden it must be crowned with
success" A grand hall is being arranged
to come off about the 18th, inst, in he
parlors of the hoGel. The business men of
Brunswick deserve great credit for their
energy, liberality and perseverance under
difficulties IN the efecfion of this hotel.
Nothing daunted by their efforts in this
case they are now arranging for $50 600
concert hall, which they expect to have
finished ready for the next season. Truly
Brunswick is on a boom, not an ephem-
eral one like some of the interior cities

temperance Union In PennsyIvania and
the United States.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union is the lineal descendant of the
Temperance crusade of 1873. That the
broadcast liberty is accorded members as
regards the important subject of suffrage
is proved by the following bylaw passed
at the Nashville Convention, November
II: mo State Union shall be bound by
any principle espoused or plan devised by
the National w. G. T. u, except that all
State auxiliarias must subscribe to tho
Total Abstinence pledge and to the con.
stitution of the National" The next
National Convention will be held in New
York city. 1t appears that the Pennsyl-
vania State Society had not, at the time
of the Nashville Convention. agreed to
the payment required to be made to the
support of the National Society, ten
cents yearly dues from each member.
The charges for membership in the State
societies are small, not amounting to
over, and usually less than, ons dollar a
year, of which a certain proportion is
kept for work within the counties and
another is paid to the State organization.
Contributions for the national organiza-
sion are now fixed at ten cents 1t is said

from a paper prepared by Mrs. John c.
Martin, of West Philadelphia, an ener-
getic member of the State and National
societies. Among the States mentioned
that showed the largest per ceutage of

sets, Delaware, Maryland New Mexico,
Wisconsin and Tennessee.

ever before.

that do not seem cheap enough
or are not as good as you
thought.

If our new stocks of goods

that we might offer, you will
probably prefer them.

ness, and public opinion did not snip
port 1t. There are reasons to believe
that the power OF strikes Is weakening.
