WHY If you want
WAIT a new Suit2
A great many
people think
1t foolish in us to have our
new goods in and on sale
SO soon; but the styles are
all determined upon and
made up, and by getting
early we get first choice,
and why shouldn't you
have that as any other2
Again our stock of Heavy
Weight Suits and Over
coats is unusually small
after such a seasons trade
as last falls, and to keen
up the assortment we
were compelled to buy
early. You may prefer
good weight clothing; if
you do they are all by
themselves and we will
allow a discount on all
their prices of 10 per cent.
Especial preparation for
boys and young men in
Suits this season, and we
will consider it a favor to
have you look them over.
Elegant Kilt Suits for the
little fellows from ~ to
5 years old. We have
never kept them until this
season, so they are all
new and stylish.

COUNT FOR HIS WILD

New York. April 10, 1891.

NEW YORK. April lG, 1891.
10 the Edltos of Tho Journal,
Our attention has been called 10
an editorial in your paper IN which
you speak o. lIolmes's history. a
book published by us, as a paftisan
book. You are quoted as saying;
1T gloriiios the South at the ex.
pense OF the Nottli. The history OF
the Rebellion i'm it is little more than
u glorilicatIon of the South and tho
lost cause 1t is unfair, partisan,
misleading. The use OF this book in
our schools IS an insult TO every
Union soldier living and dead"
Our impression is that tic book
contains nothing which in any way
1ustiicS such q criticism. 1t was not
tho purpose OF tie author to write a
partisan book, and il is Certainly
not oun purpose to publish ANYTHING
unfair or sectional. If we have done
so, 1t IS unintentional, and We hold
ourselves ready TO make any correc-
tlons sustained by tho records and
the facts, We arc not only ready to
correct any errors as to facts, but
we will esteem it n favor for any one
TO poi'it ont these errors with the
authority 70 sustain him, and W.T.
Will gratefully acknowledge tho ser.
vlce and promptly mako the oorrec-
tions. We feel that these States.
ncw constitute and will forever be
one great nation, and il is our duty
as publishers TO print in our tOxs-
books nothing that will not inspire
the youth of this land with national,
patriotic sentiments and prepare
them to sustain tho honor OF our
common country.
We feel that II school history
should give facts. not opinions, and
We feel that 10 facts shomld be
placed in history except such as
are clearly established. We would
therefore, ask that you call our at
tention to any statement Of facts
which may DO erroneous, and we
pledge y0tt our word that if the
authorities sustain you, prompt
correction will he made. We would
also ask that you cali attention to
any expression of the authors opin-
ion that you may find in the book
or any commentary of the author
or facts, ard VIC will prom pity OK
cludc such from the book.
Trusting to be fayoted With q
reply, we are,
Very truly yours,
