Elsewhere we publish the report of
the Alliance Mercantile Association as
made by its business manager, Mr.. E.
G. Barnes, as we find it in the Cresco
Republican of this week. We believe
the mass of mankind desire truth and
that most men are willing to investi-
gate and learn the truth even though
it may conflict with opinions formed
without thorough Investigation. To
this end we shall interview our mer-
chants touching the various grades of
goods OF different brands with differ
ence in quality and prices of the vari-
Gus grades. Oar dealers all buy in
the same markets and we presume
there is no great difference in the
prices paid, and as competition is
close both in the buying and selling
market there can be no material diff
ference Iegitimately Upon goods OF the
same grades and qualities. If this in
vestigation demonstrates that the AL
lance ressells goods of like grades
at less prices than the other stores sell
at, the PLAIN DEALER will have no
hisitation in so stating, but if on the
contrary it finds that it gives no bet
ter prices upon like grades OF dress
goods, groceries and apparel than is
given by other dealers in the same
grades, this paper will SO state. If
better bargains are waiting for purch-
asers in one store than at any other in
like lines of goods, prudent business
men will take advantage of them ii
if they are cup to date.' We trust
our merchants may all be reasonably
willing to give such information as
will enable US to put this matter be-
fore the public in its true light.

Rev. George Leslie took the after
noon train Thursday for Colorado,
whittier he goes by invitation Of
Bishop Spaulding to take charge of

Mrs. Emmeline McCulloch was six

thirty relatives including children,

bringing an abundance of delicious vi
ands which never saw the light of an
other day. She was feeling quite
poorly during the day but the pres

feel quite young again in the evening,
when they all departed wishing her
many happy returns of the day.

There are few great actors on the
American stage to-day, and it is safe
to say that one of the greatest of the
| few is that brilliant artist, Mr.. Clay
| Clement who will appear at Grand
Opera House. Decorah, Monday, Feb.
ruary 1st. The wide scope of Mr..
Clements genius is known by every
theatre-goer in this country. His yer.
satllity is unlimited. He is perfectly
at home in either tragedy, society
drama, or the lightest of modern com
edies. His repertoireuincludes more
complex and divergent characters
than any other actor on the English
speaking stage. He is never satisfied
no matter how great a success he may
have met with in any particular role
but he is constantly seeking new
paths for the advancement OF the
drama. He never copies. He fol-
lows the dictates OF his excellent judg'
ment and thoughtful study.
