PHILADELPHIA. Tuesday, April a. 1891
Last Wednesday marked

Last Wednesday marked
exactly a year since ''Bran-
denburg" as a traffic name of
cotton Dress Goods was
first printed in this column.
Success at once claimed the
trademark as its own. The
quality of the stuff, the
beauty Of the printing, and
the cheapness, a trio of rea-
sons, commanded the result.
This therefore is the
second Brandenburg season,
but already, before the
anniversary Of the first open
ing the sales were greater
than all last gear. The pat
terms count hundreds, the
variety IS always fresh.
They come, they go, no
stagnation, nothing among
them old. The progress is
cumulative.
The miles of Ginghams at

There is senator Williams ID The
Michigan Legislature. but hts name u
Wilcox and III Is q Democrat. He. like
rDelaware's Senator Williams, has SO
fur stood as stone wall liz tho way Of
Democratic partisan legislation just
as our Senator Williams has stood in
Delaware. The Michigan Senate
stood % Democrats, 20 Republicans
and two Independents. The Demo-
Gratis wanted to redlstrlct the State SO
as to shut out the Republicans as
nearly as possible, md they wanted to
elect Presidential electors by districts
50 as to give the Democratic candidate
for President majority of the cleo
tors of the State. But they wanted
another Democratic vote to do this.
Two Republican seats were contest
ed, and SO ons day when a number Of
Republican Senator's left to attend a
Republican State Convention the
Democrats turned ont the two Repub-
licans holding contested seats and
admitted two Democrats. They
thought they were now In full swing
to carry out their cherished designs.
rhey now had "a members to 20 Repub-
licans and didn't care for the two In
dependents, who were driven to the Re-
publican side by tho extreme action Of
| the Democrats.
But the Michigan James Williams,
named Wilcox turned up, refusing to
be coerced and bullied into voting for
such partisan, unfair measures, aud
denouncing the action of his Demo-
cratic colleagues as deliberate theft,
he bolted over to the Republican side,
aud completely locked the Senate
against any more steals. Michigan
has not been gerrymanderod yet, nor
W II not be SO long rs Senator Wilcox
holds the key. Will Senator Williams,
OF Delaware, stand as firm as Senator
Wilcox, of Michigan, against deliber-
ate theft in Delaware

THE checklist thing OF all Is to call
the Five Commissioner bill non-parti-
san. Who ever heard OF such hypoc-
risyf Here is the county OF New Cas-
tie, that at the last election gave 500
majority for Republican Levy Court.
The people did that because they want
ed to do 1t. They wanted to make
change and they made it. There was
no craftsmanship about that. But the
Levy Court is now composed of six
Republicans and five Democrats and
it is now called partisan. For twenty
years the Democrats held tho Levy
Court but all this time 1t never enter
ed their minds that the Court was
partisan. But now that tho Republi-
cans have bare majority OF one in
that body it has become intensely
partisan and the Democrats propose
to make 1t non-partisan by abolishing
the Court and getting q Democratic
Governor to appoint board of com
missioners, composed Of three Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans, to make 1t
partisan again. These gentlemen
who are dishing up this non-partisan
mess have never stopped to think that
q commission composed of three Re-
publicans AMI two Democrats, could
be as non-partisan as board with
three Republicans and two Democrats.

TOO MUCH THIRD PARTY POLITICS.
President Lindley SayA That's What's Hurt
ing the Illinois +. n. B. A.

CHICAGO, August IA special dispatch from
Springfield, ILL.,, says: C. J. Lindley, president
Of the Farmers Mutual Benefit Association of
Illinois, thinks the organization has dabbled
too much in third-party politics and he SO ex-
pressed himself yesterday in replying to the
speech Of welcome made by Gov. Fifer at the
opening Of the agricultural and industrial
encampment. He said the success of an organ
ization like this depended upon continued
effort in the direction of promulgating certain
principles to attain certain ends. The moment
they deviate from this line retrogression en-
sues.
THE trouble in securing legislation in our
state last winter was the lack of unity among
.he farmers and their determination to ask
every thing and grant nothing. l am firmly
convinced that existing evils cannot be rem
edied by radical measures without resulting
in material injury to the prosperity OF the
country; that the remedy is series
OF compromises on the part of all concerned.
To advocate the interests Of our organization
we must have harmony in our ranks and not
devote our time to passing resolutions on sub
jects we know will lead to dlscord. If any doubt
the necessity Of avoiding the rock Of politics
let them compare the growth and condition of
the membership Of the lodges in this state this
year with last"
