"Its an i'll wind that blows nobody good"
I did not realize what a time it was to buy
furs until / went into the store of H. Siede
& Co., No. IA West Fourteenth street, New
York, yesterday, and saw fur garments cut
down anywhere from so to so per cent. Seal
capes, trimmed with Russian sable, this
years modes, cut down just half. A mag
nificent Russian sable cape, the kind you
read about, that was 81, 900 at the beginning
of the season-now to be had for $500. That
is a fair sample of the effect of money-scare
on the fur trade.
And these low prices, be it remembered,
are for Siedes furs, those of a firm whose
name is synonymous with finest goods and
honest dealing. TIL house carries a COM
plete line of fur garments, Persian lamb,
sealskin, sable, mink, or the ultra-fashion-
able ermine; made up in capes, jackets, or
the prevailing t~ight-waisted. modes, with
every kind of collar OF neck-scarfs, muffs,
fur caps and such accessories to match.
There is also a full line of cloth cloaks lined
or trimmed with fur, and of g~entlemen's fur
hned and trimmed overcoats; in fact, every
one, from the baby, with its lambswool set
and its comfortable rug, to the head of the
house in his comfortable overcoat and his
fur-trimmed gloves, may be exactly suited
with a gift from this store. Furs used to be
a luxury, but this year they are going for
half value or even less.

ONE Of the queer things about the
lower part of Jersey City is the gloom
that Exchange place is plunged in
after nightfall. 1t is Incompetent
sible why this gateway OF the city
should be SO neglected. The last of
the city electric lights is at Hudson
street. The Pennsylvania Ferry en-
trance is brightly Lit up, but the long
block between is abandoned TO the
feeble glinmer of a couple of gas
lamps. This is especially dismal and
dangerous on account of the width of
the driveway. The matter ought to
be remedied at once by the erection
of an electric light on each side, about
midway in the block. lt is u wonder

The Chain of Committees.

The evolution OF committees for the
purpose of Democratic reorganization
is a trifie bewildering- The Central
Democratic Committee appointed a
Reform COMMITTEES of Three, which
nominated a Provisional Committee
of Twenty-Five, and this has in turn
nominated an Amalgamation Com
mittee of Fifteen. In the words of
the late Mr.. Solomon, amended up
to date, 'sOf making many committees
there is no end"
But while the committees 60 on the
real work of the reorganization and
reform stops. 1t is now six weeks
since election, and not one particle of
progress has been made. The only
democrats who have shown the least
energy or brains have been the Tooley
Street kickers.
Two sound proposals have been
made to meet the present disastrous
situation. One is the proposal of
THE News to throw the matter into
the hands of the State organization.
The other is Mr.. Wintield's plan OF
creating a Comm itteepf One Hundred
70 manage the party affairs for a year.
Neither plan is welcome to those who
control the wreck of the local ma
chine, because they would be fired
out if either plan were adopted.
The notion that the Committee of
Fifteen plan can avail to gather in
the Tooleys is moonshine. They are
not to be caught now. They think
too much of themselves. They will
have to test their voting strength
once or twice like the J~effersonians
before they will climb down off their
perches.
Maybe, however, the Fifteen can do
something to set the faithful together
and rally them. We hope so. Some
thing is needed to pull the party ouo
of the hole, mighty quick. Whether
the Fifteen can do it or not, we will
know better when we see who they
are.
