A Big Chop IN Ladies Underwear.
On the counter opposite our silk de-
partment will be found this week, IS
boxes of ladies' India gauze, gauze
and Balbriggan jersey, Lisle thread
and ribbed vests, in colors of brown,
white, pink and blue. These broken
lines and mixed lots are a recent pur-
chase of an entire stock of ladies'
underwear, and the most inferior
ones would be considered a bargain
at 50 cents each. Many of them sell
for IS cents and $l.00 in the ordinary
way. To close out the stock this
week we offer the lot at % cents each.
That all our patrons may share in
this boon, a limited stock demands
that we sell not more than three vests
to each customer. L. WOLFSON.

upon which ABRAHAM LINLoLN was nom
mated and elected, contained a resolution
declaring that the Republican party is
opposed to any change in our naiursliza-
tion laws, or any safe legislation by
which the rights Of citizenship hitherto
accorded to immigrants from foreign
lands shall be abridged or impaired"
This declaration was intended to re-
move the suspicion that the Repub-
lica1s were in sympathy with the
views and aims Of the Kuow-Notbing par
~. This object was accomplished, and
the foreign born element greatly aided the
new party in sfcaring its early successes.
Tbs Republicans would probably now ig-
more the pledge with which they came into
power if they thought they could safely
do SO. but the party is not strong enough
10 assume such a risk. It Is therefore not
probable that material changes in the ma
turalization laws will be effected during
the term Of tire new Congress.
