One fact, and one only, We wish to impress upon your minds this week. If you need a bill of furniture of any size 1t will pay you to visit Hawleyviile and see our stock before you buy. We are not giving goods away nor selling less than cost upon any pretext what ever. We have no attractive show window prices "for this day only" and no low priced leaders to mislead. No twill you walk into my parlor said the spider to the fly inducements. Our goods are marked in plain figures at prices consistent one with another and at a living commission above cost. Our many ad- vantages of location enable us to handle fur niture on a much smaller margin than if we were doing business in the city and yet we give you stock to select from that no city need feel ashamed of.
 We make up all of our hair mattresses, know what is in them and guarantee them as represented. We renovate and make over old mattresses, and do all kinds of upholster- ing. We deliver all goods free of freight charges to any R. R. station within fifty miles of Hawleyville. We do large and growing business in furnishing up summer cottages entire. We carry stock of children's carri- ages, refrigerators of all kinds and every thing in the furniture line.
 We are headquarters for the NEW HOME and WHEELER S WILSON sewing machines. Look us over before you buy, that's all We ask.

The Time to Speak.

Mr. John BOYD THACBER, in an interview
printed yesterday, says, with q certain
amount Of confidence, not perhaps entirely
justified by the facts, that Mr.. CLEVELAND
will say the right thing at the right time.
When is the right timer 1t cannot he
after the Tuesday after the first Monday in
November. II Mr.. CLEVELAND has any in
terest in the success Of the Democratic party
OF New York, he will not leave his sym
pathies In doubt. When men who have
been his especial adherents are trying to
give the State to the Republicans, what is
the Administration doing for the Demo
cratic party OF New York; As yet 1t has
not said anything, and it has not done any
thing to rebuke the traitors who are trying
TO defeat the Democratic candidates.
Does Mr.. CLEVELAND intend to help the
Democratic canvass' II he's going to do the
right thing, now il the time to do 1t. He has
waited too long. THERE'S treachery enough
in the Democratic party OF New York al
ready. Can it I've possible that IL is fomented
or encouraged in any degree by the Admin
istration' The question should be impossi
Bile. The longer Mr.. CLEVELAND waits, the
stronger will be the grounds for suspecting
him OF lukewarmness. He should speak out
quick and loud, and now is the time.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1894-10-23

The community OF New York have now
before them so grand an opportunity to
manifest their self-reasoning independence
OF politicians and their organizations that it
becomes duty to embrace it. A scheme,
horn Of malignant prejudice against the
late JAY GOULD, and Of hysterical enthusi-
as,n for launching the city on an expendi-
ture Of unlimited money, invites us to build
an underground railroad which moneyed
men refuse to undertake, because it cannot
pay it's expenses and interest.
Strange to say, each important political
organization here, even the usually sober
and steadfast Tammany Hall and the emo
tional conglomeration Of all the elements
Rrrayed against 1t, representing the Repub-
licans, has submitted itself to the moment
ary passion for this municipal speculation.
Every voter in town will 40 to the polls
under weak kneed partisan tutelage, advis-
ing him to vote for the underground project
Every taxpayer will find in the schedule of
recommendations prepared by the politi-
clans in caucus for his action on election
day, an invitation to suppress his own inter-
est and go in for this big speculation.
What are the voters going to do about it ?
Will they let themselves be driven like
sheep by their political herders to the brink
OF an uncomfortable socialistic squanderinR
of the city's credit ? Or will they take the
question into their own decision and assert
their individuality against the party plat
forms' 1t would be very surprising to us
IL they failed so to do We have never yet
had enough evidence to make us believe that
this town hasn't mind of its own, or that
a. - 49,, SIA- -
which 1t approves
Refusal to do the bidding of the political
parties in this respect may not be sufficient
to prevent this wild experiment from being
decreed. The referendum Is something new
with Americans. The few people who favor
the municipal underground scheme, may
still outnumber those opposed to it who
will support their convictions by the positive
act Of casting a ballot against the project.
In Boston lately rapid transit plan was
voted upon as a referendum. Out of q con-
stituency of hundred thousand voters only
fifteen thousand voted In It's favor, and yet
It was adopted because only about eleven
thousand took the trouble to vote against It,
New York should not commit such folly out
of pure indifference. We earnestly advise
all New Workers to rise superior to the
shortsighteiness or pusillsnimity of those
who have framed their politics for this cleo
tion, and to vote against permitting the city
to go down under ground In the business
of building . railroad. to cost millions be-
yond tho ability Of any experience to COM
puts. There should DO popular uprising
against 1t, composed of every taxpayer to
whose shoulders his own head still remains
attached.

perspective and authentic impression the
broad lines and vital realities Of the past
because FREEMAN's microscope, applied to
his pages with fansticism that almost
reached the. pitch Of malice, exposed some
minor imperfections in the version Of =
trivial incident in a name here or =
date there. No doubt absolute preci-
sion in the smallest matters is essen
tial in the chronologist, the annalist,
the mere collector Of historical materials.
But those materials lie sterile; they fail to
answer the end OF their existence, until
they fall under the provocative touch Of the
true artist, who deals with the past Of a ma
ton exactly as we deal every day with the
Dast OF an individual, laying stress not
upon the very date upon which deed
was done, but on its intrinsic purport, its
relation to the doer's environment, its ef-
feet for good or evil on his character and
his career. No one of us could gain much
profit from his personal experience and
observation, IL the conditions OF their
fruitfulness were as hide bound and rigor-
Gus as those laid down by FREEMAN for the
writing Of history. The trouble with FREE
MANS own painstsking, and, 30 to
spthh, pIt-hhpuoSilOS ~ lhde
we cannot see the forest for the trees; our
minds, fatigued by the protracted and fas-
tidious exploration of trihes, can feel but
a lstless interest in the commanding figures
and profound lessons OF his narrative; the
result is that his works, Notwithstanding all
their merits as embodiments Of careful re-
search, leave no sharp imprint on the read
er's memory, but are relegated to the library,
to be used rs books Of reference. FRouDE,
on the other hand may have been an i'm
pressionist, as his enemies have called him
but the impression, on the whole, was rs
trustworthy as It was vivid, bringing out in
clear and indelible outlines the inner sig
nificance of a great epoch, great event, or
a great parsonage.
