The Compliments OF the Street.

In q little crush of trucks and wagons
at Broadway and Blocker street the 9TH
er day one driver said to another, Of q
third who had just driven by rather
clnmsily, "He's a farmer and clam
digger, and the next time he comes down
this way I'm going to punch his head. :"
But ferocious as these words were they
were not spoken ferociously, and they
were smilingly received, and ono did not
understand them necessarily to mean an
inordinate amount of bloodshed, nor to
contain any reflection upon the occupa-
lions OF farming and clam digging, but
simply to express resentment at the ap-
pearance in the crowded streets as

A NEW BIG BAZAAR.

We believe that the biggest depar tment
store in the country is that of SIEoEL,
COOPER & Co., in the city Of Chicago.
This concern has now entered New
York city. with branch establishment
that shall be ahle to compete with the
tremendous and, it would see m, sutfi-
cient bazaars OF the metropolis. The
new building of the Chicago carpet bag
gers now approaching completion on
Sixth avenue, is an imposing and elegant
block, and it is, of course, up to date
irs all its appointments. 1t will un-
doubtedly take an important place as one
OF the "sights" OF New York for the So
journers from provincial towns.
The huge new building has a frontage
of 1877 feet and EXTENDS back a distance
OF 485 feet. 1t has six stories above
ground, a conservatory and roof garden
on top, and asbasement and sub pase-
ment. The nine working floors includ-
ing the roof--have a usable space Of
765, 900 square feet and some 1000 incandes-
cent and 1000 arc lights will he neces-
sary TO illuminate the house. A barber
shop, bicycle track and instructors,
and a temporary hospital with house
physician and trained nurses will be in
GUIDED in the departments, OF the big
establishment.

THE REPUBLICAN, LEAGUE.

Next week, Tuesday, the National Re-
publican League, will begin its ninth
annual convention in the city OF Mil
waukee.
Under the rules OF the organization,
Rhode Island is entitled TO Is delegates,
including the four ex-oGicio delegates.
Under the apportionment League con-
vention is large gathering, the total ac-
credited representation numbering over
1000, with an equal mum Der OF alternates.
This convention viii probably be the
most important yet held in the life of the
organization. AS pointed out by the call
10 the Republican clu bs all over the ooun-
try, we are in the midst OF campaign
which bids :air to be the most hotly con-
tested ever witnessed in this country.
The League is, Of course, standing firm
by the declarations Of the Republican
National platform, and in doing
hhlS mas luinlru utu 10 iuo NoltIs oA iuo
United States, direct from head quarters,
more than quarter OF million docu-
ments previous to the first day OF August.
League clubs are springing up, in all
parts of the country, and to met the de-
mand for organization and literature, re-
quires legislation at the hands OF the
delegates TO assemble in Milwaukee. The
solid foundation principles of our govern
nent are being threatened with dostruc-
tion by the allied forces Of oppsition 10
Industrial progress, and never before in
the history OF the organization has an OPP
portunity like the present been offered
for work that shall be effective.
There is no doubt that the hospiiable
city OF Milwaukee will see that the de-
legates to the ninth convention are well
taken care Of and the business of the
gathering is bound to be of an interest
ing kind, especially If our friends, the
silverites, undertake TO kick up little
furry during the proceedings.

Civilization rests on intercourse between
people widely separated. The railroad,
the telegraph and the swift sailing ocean
steamer have exercised u oiviiizing and
enlightening influence which has made the
whole world better. Yet tho advocates of
free coinage, like the advocates of free
trade, found their chief argument on our
Independence. 1--WE can get along without
the rest Of the world" they say. Japan
got along without the rest OF the world
for a, long time, but Jspan's real progress
began when Commodore Perry forced open
her ports.
