PARIS. JAN 26-In the Chamber Of
Deputies yesterday, N. La Marselle, .
Conservative, asked whether it was rue
that the mayor of Brie had been suspended
for inviting to luncheon q Monarchist-
NJ Lambert DeSt Croix. Premier Floquet
replied in the affirmative. He said that
the mandate of mayor did not permit
them to join in faction manifestations, the
ultimate object of which was the over
throw of the Republic. II. La Marselle
retorted that II. Lambert's predecessors
were Liberals and he created much laugh
ter at n. Floquet's expense by saying "At
your age Robespierre had already been

The Gdzette-Timos editor closes mean
ingless article on tue Court House question
in the following manner:
"There is only one way, and only one, in
which the desired end may be attained and
that is 10 let the matter of location be of
secondary importance. All resolve that we
are going to haYe new Court House, no
matter where located The right place to
put it can be found afterwards, and perhaps
amicably, too"
No, Lehighton is not to be hoodwinked
that way; at least not if we known our
selves and we think we do. Every argu-
ment is in favor of this place as location
for the new court house, Almost centrally
located, easy of ingress and egress, with a
site far enough away from the railroad to
prevent the blowing and putting of locomo-
tives interfering with court business. Con-
trary to Bro. Rinker the matter of loca-
tion is of the very first and paramount i'm
pertance. Let our live citizens move in
this matter; make it personal considera-
tion, roll up your sleeves and get down to
work. Everybody should be interested in
this matter, everybody should make it a
point to work in its favor. No small con.
siderations should prevent hearty co-opera-
tion on the part of all. Get in fighting

1t is over ten years ago since a very mys-

moved to Harlem and set his immediate
neighbors gossiping as to who he was. He
was evidently poor, for his wife and HIM
self occupied a couple of rooms in a tene-
ment house, but the question among the
neighboTs was, "How did they liyeP" In
the expressive language of the groceryman
at the corner, "The grey mare was the bet
ter horse" signifying that the old gent,
whoever he was, was not half as good a
man as his wife, and apparently he was
not,-for be was a quiet, retiring, diffident
sort of person, while it was evident that
if the grey mare, as the grocerYman called

vation and experience show that nothing
could be further from the truth than this
assertion. When manufacturers combine
in trust to produce certain article at a
given price there is no incentive to improve
its quality. To competition, on the other
hand, is due to the improvement in the
quality as well as the eheapening of com
modities. Combination discourages the
spirit of improvement, while competition
quickens invention-as each producer en-.
deavors to out strip his rivals by improve
ments in his methods and by putting upon
the market better article.

IT SEEMS TO BE A GENERAL. FEELING
that Switzerland has become too convent
ent a place for dynamiters, Anarchists and
foreign malcontents generally. Germany
has complained bitterly. Growls on the
same subject have been heard in Russia
And the New York Mail & Express which
has a fine foreign ear says: Now we hear
the voice of Italy in the same vein. Signor
Crispi, the Italian Prime Minister, while re-
GREETING the conflict between Germany and
Switzerland, says that the aims of the po-
litical refugees to-day are quite different
from those of former years, and that the
nations have no choice but to ask the Swiss
Government to make more stringent regu-
lations. Dictation is always disagreeable
when it comes from one government to an
other, all the more so when dictator hap
pens to be the stronger The Swiss may
not care to change their laws at the bidding
of any foreign power; but it was for her
own interest that she close her doors
against assassins, Anarchists and the like.

THERE IS MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
in the words of the editor of the Watson
son Star when he says: "Some men try
advertising as the Indian tried feathers. He
took one feather, laid it on board and
slept on it all night. In the morning he
remarked: "White man say feather heap
soft. White man fool" Some business
men. invest fifty cents or quarter in ad-
yertising, and then because they do not at
onceTealize great increase in business
they declare that advertising does not pay.
A man should not expect returns so dis
proportionate to his investment. Even a
little advertisement is doubtless worth all
1t costs, but twenty-cent local cannot be
expected TO revolutionize business and turn
trade out of its accustomed channel.
