So there are 81, 500, 900 of usl Super
intendent Porter thinks that the census
of 1890 will give the United States about
those population figures. There is no
cause for complaint. This gives us near
ly1 900 900 more than we had ten years
ago. No country can show greater ad-

Merely a low price is not an evidence of
cheapness in merchandise, and quotations
of clothinE prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap" clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. If you want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people, however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
our rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge of the prices without
seeing the clothes.

The merchants and business
men Of our place have made a
step i'll the right direction in re-
fusing to open their places of
business on Sunday except for
objects Of necessity or charity.
There has been too much Sunday
work here in the past. Our COM
mon council should take hold of
the matter and see that all viola
tiers of the Sunday law are pun
ished, and that on that day, at
least. no drunkenness should be
allowed on our streets. The reso-
luton passed by the Catholic lay
Congress at Baltimore last year,
IN favor Of cooperating with the
Protestants in protecting the sane
THY of the Sabbath will be felt for
good all over the land. The Off
GERS Of the law must, however, do
their duty. The author Of our
being knowing what was best for
us designated day of rest n
each seven. The breaking down
of so many of our business men
before they have reached the
prime of life shows the penalty of
the violation of,this law Of nature.
