The House of Representatives at
Dover, Monday, passed bill estab-
fishing the salaries OF the State judi
ciary. The amounts fixed were 81, 500

each for the associate justices.
These amounts are not at all ade.

therefore, that the Senate will amend
by increasing to these amounts. In
deed, further increase to 81, 500 and
$4,000, respectively, would not be a
dollar too much.
1t has been fully established that the
judges salaries should not he less. as q
rule, than the sums which good at.

practice of their profession. The people
are entitled to good judges, and they
can be obtained only by the payment OF
good salaries. 1t was shown during the
debate IN the House, yesterday. that

VyANAMAKER'S.
PHILADELPHIA. Monday, Feb a. IS

TniLnbELt-IllH, monudy, TCU = 1850.
Wanamaker'sis a household word.
It is considered generally as great
big store, where quite lot Of peo-
pie are employed, where pretty
much everything is sold. But let's
look into it little more carefully.
Let us see how big it is--and bet.
ter, how good Il is.
We speal. Of the Philadelphia
store alone. The New York store
is counterpart--not quite so large,
but growing and growing to catch
up.
There are eighteen acres of floor
space in this rambling strong old
building that varies from three to
six stories high.
There are six acres more room in
the several outside buildings we
need and use.
There are eighteen elevators
ten for passengers.
There is a restaurant that easily
serves three thousand orders daily.
At holiday times we had five
thousand two hundred and five peo-
pie employed (over three thousand
in New York-over 5000 in alb.
We have extra help then, but the
census keeps close TO four thousand
in Philadelphia all the time.
In a single month we have sold
something over two million dollars
worth OF goods--more than all the
department stores and dry goods
stores in Richmond, Virginia, sell
in year.
And still we state these facts
with no wish to boast. They prove
something.
This store has no patents on
business methods. 1t has grown
from nothing simply through de-
serving to grow.
Each year we send twenty-five
buyers In Europe and Asia to gather
fine and odd and useful goods for
your enjoyment. We'd like to sell
only American goods-whichm means
thatwe shall welcome the day when
American manufacturers can more
nearly supply every want.
And this store has distinct field.
1t does not depend for favor or bust
ness upon your neglect of home
stores. Don't neglect them. Those
merchants are your townsmen, your
taxpayers, your neighbors. Buy
from them all you can. We don't
sell groceries because grocery sell.
ing is unnecessary-you can be
fully supplied with them anywhere.
But where wide range of selec-
ton in fabrics is an advantage,
where our frequent trade move.
ments mean large economy-where
you must depend on city store,
OF course it is fair to presume that
the store good enough to grow by
your favor into the biggest retail
store in America, still merits that
favor. Its latch.string hangs out.
We haven't said word about
goods-'yet, spring stocks here and
coming exceed in value four mill
lion dollars. We answer letters
promptly and fill orders carefully.
But come if you can. The store is
enjoyable.

In the House of Representatives at

What the motive of Representative

in his opinion our new Constitution is
worse than the old one. We believe,
however, that few people will coincide
With him. The new Constitution is a
vast improvement over the old one. and

it is hoped the other members of the
Legislature will look upon Representa-.
tive Johnson's scheme in this light, and
treat it accordingly. CONSTITUTIONS
Conventions are costly Injuries, and
our people cannot afford to indulge il
them very often. They are also danger
