III some remarks made in condemna.
tlon Of the too great haste to be rich we
did not intend to condemn industry.
Industry is as much an obligation every
man assumes as a duty that is required.
No man can escape either and be a good
citizen or a noble man. Every man must
discriminate FOR himself between the
wholesome, worthy, necessary industry
Of good citizen and an honorable
man and the selfish greed Of
the soul blightlng thirst for money.
As we have said, money is not good
thing In itself It is an evil thing. In.
dustry, however, IS not only com
mendable, In itself, but all laws Of God
and men require and command it. II
Industry brings wealth. the title to the
wealth is perfect; and the possession Of

satisfactory schedule we ever had. It
has been stated that large per centage
Of the workingmen were imported here
to reduce the wages Of American work
ingmen, and even they are not satisfied
after the bosses have procured legis-
tion and protection from Congress for
the express purpose of satisfying them
It does not make any difference, now,
whether the demands Of the men are just
or not; the "bosses" who proposed to
satisfy them before the Mckinley bill
went into effect, defy them afterward.
The plea for the workingman is a sham
the plea for the American worlyingman
is false The theory on which the de
mand is made is tantamount TO the
demand Of the robber, LATTE. "give me
all the valuables on board ship and you
may 60 free; II not, I'll hang you and

The store is not simply a
shopping place, but place
to visit. The exhibition
changes every day. Eleven
elevators are going up and
down to all the floors.
If any store is cooler than an
other in hot weather it should
be this, because it's windows
and doors open or all four
sides to the streets, and fresh
air is constantly brought into
the basement and distributed
by pipes.
The outside of the store
still retains its old-fashion
shell, but the inside is the sur
prise.
The floors measure more
than fifteen acres. The stock
is kept up in season and out,
and is believed to be the larg-
est and most comprehensive
of any retail storein the world.
A shopper can keep under
one umbrella (our roof and
see merchandise from every
quarter of the globe, and get
almost any article and always
at extra value.
Doubtless we could do the
business better, but we are
close students and surely i'm
proving every day.
Open at 8 and close at 6.
Saturday afternoon holidays
begin after next week.
Citizens are welcome to use
the aisles of the store in pas
sing to and from the railroad
stations.
A special invitation to visi-
tors and persons passing
through the city to stop over
and see the store.

ments by the EVENING JOURNAL on an
interview in which William Walter
Phelps lntimaled that he was not 50
successful as he might have been. as
Minister to Berlin, II he had worn mill.

personal feeling OF personal relations,
rather than calm Judgment. The Every

Phelps was sent to Germany by presi.
dent Garfield In 1881. He had previously
and since served with distinction in Con
gress, while his high rank as a LAWYER
was early recognized i'm the conduct Of
important railway and bsuk litigation
This was attested by a former offer to
him, by Governor Fenton. OF a
iudgeship before he had attained
his thirtieth year His early Con.
grossional career was marked by a
display Of independence regarding a
party measure which cost him his re.
elections his vote against the Civil

measure as unconstitutional. a stand in
which he WAS subsequently supported
by the United States Supreme Court.
but his attitude on the bin led TO this
defeat In the next election by seven
votes In district which he had pre-
viously carried by 2.7l5
The greater part Of the above may be
quoted as a matter OF private opinion
not pertinent TO the criticisms OF
the EVENING JOURNAL and to the con
tention that blue coat and brass but
tons are not necessary to command dis
tinction for minister Of the great
est nation in the world We contend
that Mr.. Phelps is neither great for
native ability or acquired distinction

personal worth. His wealth, however.

we're it not for the generous proportions

been remarked. The last item I'm the

warm friend Of the late James g. Blaine"

A good story is told Of how the police
force at Union park was TO be reduced.
Last week the proprietor Of the park
decided to dispense with the services
Of three CLUB .swingers. Then the
question arose before him, how should
he dismiss three Of the sixteen men
without showing impartiality. This
question vexed the proprietor some
time, when a thought struck him that
the best way to decide which men
should be discharged, would be to place
the name Of each man in a hat. shake
them up aud have a disinterested person
to draw the three names. AS the story
goes this was done and the three men
were to give up their positions yester
day.

WE cannot thoroughly comprehend the
assaults which are prevalent upon the
police and upon District Attorney Knowl-
ton on account Of the prosecution Of
Lizzie Borden. In the first place, if the
contention had any real basis It would
include that admirable and learned bench
Of judges, Of whom the admirable Judge
Blodgett was the chief, in the blame that
is attached to the prosecutor and the
police. II the case were 30 desplcable
and disreputable that just and honorable
judge would not, could not have listened
to 10 for two weeks. But in addition to
that, the police and the prosecutor are
bound by oath to act on their suspicious.
They cannot try and acquit. Thosemur-
ders Of the Bordens were committed and
suspicion pointed,to Lizzie Borden as the
murderer After the suspicion has failed
TO be established as a fact, II is unwise
and unjust to blame those officials who
acted upon it. It was their duty to act.
10 would have been the duty Of Judge
Blodgett Go dismiss the case and instruct
the jury to bring in verdict Of mot
guilty If the structures OF some Of the
newspapers were true. Somebody com
mitted the murders; It is not yet proven
that Lizzie Borden did not commit them
and It never will be proven till there is
proof that some one else did commit
them. Referring to District Attorney
Knowlton with inconsistent praise and
condemnation the Philadelphia Inquirer
says:
Not that he is not competent man.
He Is. He ranks with the best Of law
yers. AS pleader he Is wonderful. His
abilities cannot be questioned But how
has he chosen to use these abilities2 To
give him reputation he has been
willing to play with the life of woman.
