Perhaps you know, and per-
haps you haven't heard of it yet,
but we intend you shall, that we
have just bought and fitted up
the building at the corner of Main
and High Streets, where Howes
\ Co. have kept store for over
forty years. Well that is a fact,
and if you don't 80 too much into
detail, we have a very nice look
ing place to do business in. That
is, don't look TOO hard at the
outside Of the building-wc WILL
except our plate glass 'front.'
come inside, There is where we
have put in cur work. and what
is more, we have got a good deal
more work to do, or intend to
have Everybody knows what a
large business has been done in
this same store and we shall en-
deavor to do Just as much bust
ness this first year as has ever
been done in any one year. That
may not convey any definite in
formation to you, for of course
you don't know how much has
been done, but we can assure you
that the figures run up into big
ones and if our anticipations are
realized we shall do very big
year work for the shoe business
be perfectly satisfied and try to
add ten thousand to it the next
year. Possibly this is not of
much interest to you, or wouldn't
be but for this reason You will
understand that in these days no
person has a monopoly of any
business, other than such as he
controls by selling his goods at
satisfactory prices. Yes, more
than that, his GOODS must be sat
isfactory and his prices VERY
LOW. That is right, Now we
realize that, and in order to at
tain the trade we have talked of
for the first year, we must "Keep
goods that people want and
"SSell them at prices people ap-
preciate.' We shall do more
than this-we are going to sell
shoes that will fit the feet, and
will make good every pair that
doesn't do good service not that
we shall knowingly be in fault,
but you know that the best of
goods sometimes fail But then
it won't be your fault either if we
propose to keep you satisfied.
We have taken great pains to put
in a VERY NICE STOCK of
BOOTS and SHOES, including
all the NEW and DESIRABLE
KINDS, and we know we have
got "what you want Then we
shall sell them at lower prices
than you have been in the habit
of paying That IS not putting
it very loud but it tells the whole
story. No, we cannot open the
25th or Goth, as we stated last
week, but on and after WE'D
NESDAY, the 30th, we shall be
pleased to see you,

Facts About the registry.

'sThere is one thing" said City Clerk
John e. Scott yesterday, ito which you
might call attention in THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS tomorrow. The law Of last winter
regulating the registry places the registry
a week earlier than usual. The charter
election will take place April 9. Under
the old law the second day OF registry
would have been the Thursday previous
the 4th. The two days of registry under
last winters act are March 10 and March
%. So that for twelve days-nearly two
weeks before the polls open-a man has
no opportunity to register his vote.
can act has been introduced INTO the
Legislature repeating the act of last win
ter. Alderman O'Nei1, who is an Assem-
blyman, would not advise me to wait Tor
the report, and so I have advertised the
two days fixed by the new act as those for
the registration of names.
If the present law is repealed, a new
notice of registry may be necessary, and
more registry days than usual may be
provided

Civil Service reform By and BY.


Our friends, the Republicans, seem
to be congratulating themselves upon
the fact that Brother Harrison will re-
woke the portion of President Cleve-
lands order which fixes March 10 as
the day after which the clerks in the
railway mail service shall be included
in the operations of the civil service
rules
When they are glad of this, they ac-
cuse the ex-President of having VIC
lated the spirit of the civil service
laws.
But they make a more serious
charge. They say that the President
of the United States, to make places
for a few of the least important OF his
henchmen, will assume the right to
overrule a decree of his pre-
decessor, and defer the operation OF
the will of the people until he has had
an opportunity to GUST the present in
cumbents, in direct violation of that
part of the platform of his W party
which urged upon the country reform
in the administration of the civil
service.
The Journal believes that this would
be all right. Get in all the Repub-
licans is the cry, and then the civil
service rules can't do any harm.

1t Is the Result of Folly.

The great strike of mill operatives at
Fall River, which promises to win
them the increase in wages that they
ask for, is ~variously regarded by pro-
tectionist and free trade papers this
morning. The truth is that tariff has
nothing to do with the trouble that is
always either smouldering or breaking
out in Fall River. That city is a
special case.
In the old times the mills were
started by some shrewd and hard
listed men, who built up a great in
dustry which has come down to their
descendants. These have inherited
all the meanness Of their ancestor, but
none Of their ability. A o perfect
exhibition Of incompetency than is
furnished by the print cloth trade of
Fall River could not be imagined.
The goods are handled on a brokerage
system that must necessarily ruin
everybody but the brokers. They sit
like great spiders in their webs, and

A Half LOCALIZED Business.

Judge O'Brien, of the Supreme Court
of New York, has decided that con-
tracts with pool sellers on the race
tracks cannot be enforced though the
business is legal. The suit in which
that decision was rendered was brought
by ex-Assemblyman Michael Brennan,
Of New York, against the Brighton
Beach Association. He bought twenty
$25 French pool tickets and claims to
have won $765. The bookmakers said he
backed another horse than the winner;
but this point did not affect the de-
cision. 1t may appear to many that a
half legalized business would better be
made one thing or the other, and still
the "'pon honor plan will bring as
good results IN the long run as could
be obtained if there were recourse to
the courts. 1t may withhold the timid
from betting and develop the sense OF
honor which we have faith to believe
is present even in a gambler.
