COMFORTABLENESS

SAA hSAiOAN
To be sure, we make blunders-
but we cure them. That's it. You
take no sort of risk.
Thousands know that we kept a
pretty good store, even years ago,
when the volume of business was
small-counted THE BEST STORE,
though odd, because we made your
satisfaction the one test. Goods
falling short of that were to be
brought back, no matter how much
loss to US was entailed.
Year byyear the volume of bust
ness has grown; buying power
has increased = there has been
growing advantage to you in deal
ing here because what savings we
make we share literally. In good
times and bad we have never sac
rificed quality for price. Couldn't.
For you are still urged to bring
wrong things back-it would be
childish to sell wrong things know
ingly.
Thinking of gift times now. Gift
things of all things should be right
not necessarily costly, but in good
taste. This store is never more
necessary than during holiday times.
1t is so easy to make mistakes dur
ing the rushed-for-time days that
one is in danger of buying gaudy
things, despite usual good judgment.
Safest to go where gaudiness does
not enter.

PRIOR to election, in fact before the
convention, there were many rumors of
promises for appointment as postmasters
and other governmental officials, provided
certain things were done to the satisfaction
of certain persons. One or two appoint
ments announced before election. and one
made known since then. appear to lend
some color to those rumors. although it is
to be hoped they were not true, and ifeven
considered that they will be re-considered
Those who have the appointing power

CONSIDERABLE dissatisfaction is being
expressed over the suspension of sentence
on John B. Aydelotte, of Palmyra, who
was convicted on two charges of assault
and battery on his wife, which, if all re-
ports are true, was not the first offence OF
the same kind either upon the wife or
others. The evidence seemed to indicate
that the defendant is certainly a worthy
candidate for state prison discipline.
There is no criminal so utterly despica-
BILE and deserving of as little 1eniency
as the brute who will attack a defence
less woman, and especially when her con-
dition is such as to merit extraordinarily
careful treatment The basis of this
suspension of sentence appears to be a
petition signed by several citizens, few OF
whom live in Palmyra, the home of the
Aydelottes. The majority of the sigma
lures are those of Riverton people, while
Burlington, Beverly and other places con-
tribute some. Of course when petition
with names of reputable citizens is pre-
sented to the Court, it is entitled to con.
sideration, but some attention should be
paid to other incidents connected with the
case, and as we said before man who
beats a woman should be dealt with as he
deserves. The whipping post is too leni
ent treatment for such creature.

MANY murder cases have been tried in
which much stress has been placed, by
the defendant, upon the apparent lack Of
motive for the crime. This was the case
in the trial of Theodore Durrant, who was
convicted of the murder of young girl in
San Francisco. The verdict was appealed
to the United States Supreme Court and
that tribunal has affirmed the Judgment
below, and Durrant must hang. In its de-
cision the Court says that proof of motive
is not at all necessary where the evidence
closely connects the defendant with the
crime.

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1897.

AN attempt is to be made next winter to
secure the passage of law putting all
county officers on salary instead OF
allowing them to pocket the fees OF
their Offices. There are some counties
where such a law would be of great
benefit, but the law must be general
to be constitutional. In Burlington county
the officials are compelled to pay their
own employees and the fees they receive
are probably not out of proportion to the
responsibility that rests upon them.
