MILWAUKEE,, April, 1898.
Concerning Carpets.

The little chats about the
Carpets for Spring have made
many people enthusiastic buy
ers.
Before deciding upon it we
want you to consider the mat
ter carefully. If you come to
this place and examine the
line of Carpets-the Body
Brussels, the Administers, the
Velvets, the Wiltons, the Mo-
quettes, the Ingrains, you'll
understand our meaning.
Two whole floors is given to
these, more than is given to
these grades of Carpets by
any place in the town. You
cannot bank on that too much,
however But it's our way of
doing the carpet business.
Along with the widest selec-
ton, lesser cost and every
thing reliable, new.

The local commercial weeklies
all agree that the improvement in
business last week was very
marked. Even the pessimistic jour-
nal which usually assigns a tenn
porary cause for every improve
ment, has no such explanation to
give for the increased commercial
movement noted last week. If the
crops of the country prove album

will, there is good reason for hop

all our public spirited. generous people

There is work for all good people, with

and objected to even good works on the
Sabbath day. but they met rebuke that
has never been forgotten
Bishop Potter, of New York, than whom
there are few greater lights, in his able
and liberal article in the Forum, favOring
the opening of the Cpumbi; n tair on
Sundays. discussed the Sunday laws of
our country, and lays bare the fallacy of
such aw,when applied to law abiding
community. whose ideas and habits of
life are in conflict with this custom. that
is the UutSrOwth of later day Chris
tianity and had no place at its birth.
The prosperity of our city is due to its
liberal, open way of lite: to its cOSmOpOl-
itan population, to its law abiding char
acter, more than to any other cause.
The Sunday law is not applicable here,
because it is unnecessary aud its enforce
ment would be oppressive and provoka-
tive of enmity between large classes of
our people.
But if the infraction of that law affects
any citizen he can make his complaint
before the courts. But when number of
persons. however respectable in charac-
ter, get together to raise up war upon
general principles, it passes beyond the
cOgniZance Of courts of justice. And
when such movements tend TO disturb the
peace ana tranquility of the people in
general then those who incite the disturb
ance become public enemies.
MObS who burn their victims at the
stake are but the OntgrOwth OF the same
morbid sentiment that singles out the
Sunday law for public agitation.
When great abuses eXiSt,when great in
jury is done TO the entire community by
the non enforcement of the laws. when
venality becomes a ruling feature in gov
eminent, when liberty is trOdden under
foot, virtue Soiled, religion made scott
Of then 1t tehoOveS the great
body of the people to rise and throw off
the oppression. But where peace pre-
walls the laws well enforced and OBJ
served, and the community at large do
not complain, handful of mischief max
erS become obnoxious no matter how good
their intentions.
Our city is dull enough. the man who
would add to It's quiet is not friend 10
