In conclusion, want to say just zO07d (!) for
the benefit of MAIL ORDER CUSTOMERS:
This feature of our business has assumed quite re-
spectacle proportions and in justice to ourselves and in
order that may do friends at distance proper

your orders for Samples, &C. For instance, receive
many letters asking for Samples of Dress Goods"
Now just for moment stop and consider-what we
do with such order? We might go through stock
and spend couple of hours in putting up line of
Samples, and send single thing that wanted
when if the customer had stated what kind stIe

thinks she would lke-name prlce about what she
wishes to paywhether she wants Samples suitable for

you how much it helps select Goods that there
is some prospect of pleasing? And by the way, state
whether you want Black Coorsor if there colors
you bo01O you do not want, say Green, Blue, or
Black the may be. Then again, we have fre.
quent orders Please send Samples of your Trimming
Silks China Silks. Not word to whether Plain
or Figured styles wanted We simply haYe to guess,
and mighty poor guess that because know that
in the very nature of THINGS it is very doubtful about
our selecting anything satisfactory, and do not feel
very much interest IF you want Trimming Silks send
sample of the goods you to trim, and state,
when possible, about the quantity of Silk you
Many have short pieces of Trimming Silks that
we dare not send samples of for fear have su
cient of it in it should suit you And again, if
know the quantity desired make Special Prices a
short length.
Now all this may be (you think) matter of small
importance-and that fnicky;" but moi,

NEW YORK, May 20. 90.
The most noticeable points of New York are
dirt, narrow streets, and big prices for anything

elevated railways. we were just as much surpris-
ed when we beheld them. The idea of rail
road running overhead was also surprised
at the small amount of space they take up in
the street. Just one post supports it in place.
and It takes up no more room than the electric
line in Cleveland. Our room at hotel was just
one floor above the railway, trains passing every
few moments.

HE next Governor of Ohio will be Demo-
crat. This is fact realized by none better than
the men who placet.in nomination the Repub-
can ticket at Columbus last week. They do
not expect to elect single candidate named,
and 60 before the people with the certain know
ledge Of defeat beforehand. They know that
the so called issue which they have injected into
their catch-all platform is as dead as Sitting
Bull. They have not forgotten their crushing
defeat Of last November, and have not under
estimated its Specification. They are not labor
ing under any hallucinations Of this kind, and
whatever they may have said in their platform
or expressed in their speeches. they know full
well that so far as their so called policy of pro-
lection is concerned, it has been tried in the
balance and found wanting. and has had its day
in deceiving the people. These men are not
fools enough to be blinded to the real sentiment
of the voters of Ohio. They know that the
people Of Ohio and the Nation have got their
eyes opened to the sophistries of Mckinley

their ballots last November ON the subject, after

practically lost them the Buckeye State. They
know better than to imagine for moment that
the people would vote for given policy, and
before given chance Of even seeing it tested,
by the first legislative enactment deliberately
return to that which they condemned by their
ballots. This would be ascribing to them a lack
of knowledge and decent consistency, and a
degree of instability that these men know to be
utterly impossible and untrue. But, as usual.
they are playing the people for fools" and are
insulting their intelligence by offering them an
effete mass of disgusting clap-trap. They have
nothing else to offer the people. Having taken
upon themselves the impossible task of resur-
recting policy that would enslave the masses
to the classes. they were driven into nominating
Mckinley as the first, last. and only resort
hoping to bolster up their lost cause by the
magic of name. But there will be no stam-
pede. It will be another campaign of Repub-
hcan Brass Band oratory against the sound ar
gumsnts of the party that has always stood fol
the people; and when the votes are counted In
November. even Mckinley, with his Chinese
wall. will have learned enough to abandon the
unnatural and unjust position himself and party
occupy on the tariff.

The U. S. Federal Court handed down de-
cision last week, in which two of the three Judges
agreed that permanent injunction ahould issue,
forbidding the opening of the Worlds Fair on
Sundays, but based their decision on totally
different grounds. The third Judge dissented
entirely from his associatesand gave an opinion
in favor of Sunday opening. For the first time
probably. in the history of the U. S. District
Court. bench of three Judges failed to arrive
at majority finding.
1t was supposed that the injunction would
operate to close the Fair last Sunday. but in the
meantime the "Openers" were granted su-
persedeas suspending the operation of the writ,
by Chief Justice Fuller, until such time as the
case is heard on appeal in the U. S. Circuit
Court. Ii is thought the hearing viii be held
tomorrow.
The effect of this was to open the Exposition
again last Sunday. over 10000 visitors passing
through the gates.
