been met and proven false. The

Of goods made up. On orders for
this amount the enterprising
Morris firm offers to save the
purchaser the sum Of $6.86. The
catalogue house gives the lower
price on sugar, but on other
items the Morris firm is lower.
It is quite evident that the local
dealers all over the country sell
as cneaply as do the mail order
concerns, but it is up to the local
merchants to convince the far
mers and others who are sending
away for goods that SO much is a
fact, by publishing local prices
in comparison with the catalog
prices. In other words the local
dealers must come to realize that

that advertising is the only sue
cessful means Of meeting out of
town competition.

The New York independent.
The vast majority of the people
OF the United States can be di-
vided religiously into two parts,
of whom sltxy-fve million,
more or less, are nominal Pro-
testants, and fifteen \ million,
more or less, are called Catho-.
lies. The Protestant denomina-
tions have Of late been coming:
into q closer unity; can a union
OF Protestants and Catholics be
expected? The rector Of st.
Johns Catholic church, in Al
ttoona, Pa, says, in a printed
sermon, that he believes it can
be achieved in this century. He
declares that already Profess
tants have mostly ceased to an
tagonize Catholics, and are
dropping the militant element in
their creeds. He speaks of the
co-ope ration Of Catholics and non
Catholics in temperance, sound
politics and charitable and civic
work; in the cordial invitation
extended from time to time by
the heads of various Protestant
educational institutions to ex-
plain some points of Catholic
doctrine. He tells Catholics that
there is very little use nowadays
in bombarding Luther, Calvin or
Henry VIII. It does no good and
plenty of harm; that what is
wanted is a good exmaple, first Of
all; less boasting of Catholics,
past achievements, and more
proof of the present power of the
faith that is in them; candor in
the discussion of historical cues
tons; fairness and courtesy in
controversy, especially in speak
ing Of the Protestant" Bible,
which ''as book teaching mere.
say" belongs to the past. This
is kind of advice whose spirit
we would equally commend to
Protestants. We need fewer
hammerers Of heretics and more
Welders Of Christians.

only in SO far as they can furnish

pers of the desires of the "dear peo-

about the legislature while others are
more firmly sure that graft and boss
ism is the trouble-and so on ad infini-

showed that the attempt on the bank
