It's only natural that during the Opening our ears
have been open to the criticisms of patrons Many
are the fattering remarks might quote but cannot
because they might somewhat reflect on our neigh

fectly legitimate to tell you that lady brought US

chased ours at 81 and declared good as the $3.50

rVNOTE.-The buyer wishes it stated that probs-
bly, the Philadelphia sample from the out ide
folds but that the quality very apparently in
ferior to our S150 velvet, though better than our

But does not all this tend to prove that cash bust.

The most important results may follow the
meeting Of the All-Americas congress this au-
tumn. 1t is probable that, for the present,
they viii be general rather than specific. The
gathering is q Congress, not treaty-making
convention. Representatives of the several in
dependent American states will simply get
together and talk over the relations between
their govsrnments-then need of q more friendly
understanding, Of better hsrbor regulation, of
improved extradition laws, Of arbitration az q
substitute for war in the settlement of disputes,
and Of some system Of reciprocity whereby
each state shall open to imports from any
other American state a more hospitable market
than to the products Of all the world beside.
The conclusions reached in this conference are
necessarily not final They must be submit
ted to the tresty-making and law-mak ing powers
at home; but they will have the effect of max
ing q start and Of giving substance to a scheme
which has been little better than dream here
tofore. The closer acquaintance which ripens
out OF this meeting will doubtless have the
effect, also, OF moderating the little bitterness
OF feeling that has sprung up between the
United States and one or two other American
governments, as, for example, in the case of
Mexico, where there still rankles a sense Of ill
treatment owing to the shabby course of our
American Congress toward the Grant treaty of
commerce. II the Fifty-irst Congress should
celebrate the occasion by enacting early in its
career, the legislation necessary to carry that
treaty into effect it would undoubtedly produce
q happy influence on the tone Of the interna.
tionl conference.
