STORIES OF The DAY.
I'm Darkest Africa"


Several days ago we'll known young
man who lives on the West Side not far
from Seventh and Washington streets
bought tickets for a stereopticon show
that WAS advertised to be held In an East
Side church. The subject Of the views
and lecture was 60 be "fhe Holy Laud,
and this lecturer ON ancient lore and
scenery would give II all for 10 cents.
Junius Brutus always did banker for q
glimpse Of the Holy Land He had heard
his best girl express a similar desire
Here was q chance for a 20-csni
ants-wedding tour, with extras thrown IN
aud seasickness, dangers aud Jerusalem
stenches thrown out. OF course b,
grasped at the idea. and booked his glrl

On the night Of the exhibition the
church was darkened and the delighted
audience was listening to the lecturer
yell, rs he pointed TO the canvas:

opened his mouth unless he said some
thing, and his ears are things Of beauty
and 10Y forever
Just about this time Junius Brutu
and his girl walked down the street
They looked at the church It was dark

seen.

THe SIGNS ARE ENCOURAGING.

The SIGNS ARE ENCOuRaGi ING.
The Democratic party is not in a bad
way. Such an apprehension is the result
Of pessimlsm. There is no gloom In a
forecast Of the situation; It Is all 10 the
mind Of the historian who does not in
terpret the lessons OF the'past Alright. or,
who sees a little cloud on the horizon
which looks portentous.
The party is in the condition OF an
army ennervated by the idleness Of camp
life. When ordered into the Geld, or
when the enemy appears, every soldier
will be ready for his duty. Each man
will feel the entire responsibility Of the
campaign. There viii be no stragglers.
no sbirkeIs. The regiments will march
as one man, and their ranks will be full.
Many timid men dread the outcome Of
the silver issue; many fear that Congress
will make some fatal mistake; such ap.
prehensions are utterly groundless. No
matter what Is done with the silver issue
the few Democrats who will leave the
party on that account In the East, will be
less than an equivalent to those in the
West whom the Republican party will
lose by an adverse position on the silver
Issue. No matter what tactical mistakes
the Members Of Congress may make. they
will not be fatal mistakes These are
the fears Of the constitutionally timid
who always fRht, II at all, from behind
breastworks.
What mistake could be made which
would drive a Democrat into the Republi
can partyi It Is impossible to conceive
Of one. Even II the free coinage bill
were to 60 into effect to morrow it would
not cost the people IS much In the next
year as the one item Of tin plate in the
Mckinley bill will cost every year until
an honest. wise and fearless Congress
shall repeal the infamous fraud. Il Il
impossible to conceive OF Democrat,
Congress reaching the billion dollar limit
Of expenditure In a time Of profound
peace until the population shall have in
creased to almost double its present
number
The signs OF the times are encourag
ing There is a spirit Of fairness an,
economy prevailing in the Democratic
councils, a spirit Of forhearance will
contrary views. which signify tina
every man is willing to do tue and loya
work after the policy Of the party shal
have been calmly and wisely mapped on
by Congress and the Chicago convention
There is no strife anywhere and nttl
I rivalry that is not healthiul. There is n
cause for strife when all are contend
{ ing for the same principles, whs
q there are no classes, no pet industries
n no bosses, no rich men who propose s
much money for so much favorable legi
e lation.

BALFOUR is disgruntled and angry at
the manner In which his scheme for
ireland has been received and the Tories
are dissatisfied with Balfour because be
has been trying to introduce his Irish
secretary ways into Parliament. They
resent his supreme and insolent dictator
ship and he resents their criticisms.
He appears in the House in
dirty boots and mud stained trousers
and thus outrages their sense OF
propriety. Instead OF being the profes-
sional courtier ha shows the obstinscy OF
a mule. During important business he
lounges In the library and smokes, and
ne was performing athletic feats on the
stairway, six steps at time, when the
government was being beaten last
week. This Is not strange when he
has brought in bill giving
Ireland little county legislatures, the
men bers Of which are subject to arrest
by the ordinary courts II they do not
legislate TO suit the officers Of the govern
ment. This plan for the arrest Of the
legislators was justified on the state
ment that Il was the practice Of the
United States government to arrest
legislators when they did not legislste to
suit. The scheme is as preposterous as
the statement concerning the United
States is false. how can legislative
representative Of a free people be subject
TO arrest as a legislatori Il seems inevi-
table that Balfour will hasten the defeat
OF the Tories.

PHILADELPHIA, Monday. March IA, 1872.
Tie SOeatke, today IS hksLy
to be clear.

When this store entered up-
on its career of general busi-
ness fifteen years ago, to. day.
new forces began to touch
Philadelphia life. The extent
of their power was then only
in our dreams. The effects of
their power are now in the do
main of fact, not fancy. The
further possible growth and
results of these forces are more
scientific, less fanciful, than
were our first expectations The
secured past prophesies a
larger future. Progress is the
law of this age.
The great store hadto come.
1t was a necessity of the pc
rod. Each great city of the
world has one or more such ex
amples. And Philadelphia pos
sesses in this store, ours and
yours, an instance second to
none. Indeed, we might make
the statement stronger and
then only repeat the daily tes
timony of competent critics
1t could easily be shown that
this store has been a decided
benefit to this city-more per.
haps than any other store tc
any other city, But to show
tAGt is not our present object
Note, however, these few
facts:
For a period parallel to I'll.

To repeat:
If. More money to spend
I'd. More wants TO supply
sd. More wants supplied
with less money.
Trade laws distribute in
creased money, greater intelli
gence creates wants, but thi.
store, and its like, are the
powers that reduce prices anc
bring larger comfort and salts
faction to the public generally
Our task has been to Sc
perfect the power of capita
and intelligence as to eliminate
all surerhuous cost. Thus the
consumer pays. nearly as pos
sible, only for the article he
buys. High organization anC
the command of money bring
these results. And it is also
capable of proof that the con
centration of our business ha!
been of larger benefit to the
people engaged in it than i.
it and they were distributed
among five hundred small
stores. The economy is du,
to the saving of what in ole
days was wasted.
Our progrese rests en- prin
ciples. 1t rs constant progress
More goods sold, more dollar,
counted each year than in tn,
year before. So long as en-
ergy inspires intelligence tn,
progress will continue.
There is brighter outlool

We step into another year o

for successful results than eve
before.
