NOYES. py 5 G STAR has the fullest Local ny Newspaper in the Worta, and onan Advertising Medium 1 worth the in Washington. York Offce: Room 03, Tribune Building, The newspapers are calling attention to the fact that the republican party now has control of both the executive and legislative branches of government and that consequently it will be without excuse if it does not act in accordance with its platform and fails to keep its pledges to the people. The republican platform of 1883 repeats its civil service reform pledge of 1894, declaring: “The reform of the civil service auspiciously begun under the republican ad- ministration should be completed by the far- ther extension of the reform system, already established by law, to all the grades of the service to which it is applicable. The spirit and purpose of the reform should be observed in all executive appointments, and all laws at variance with the object of existing reform legislation should be repealed, to the end that the dangers which lurk in the power of official patronage may be wisely and effectively avoided.” The republican party in its plat- form also taunts Cleveland with breaking his word in respect to civil service reform and declares that ‘‘we will not fail to keep our ’ * because their candidate has broken his.” Will the republican party in good faith keep these promises or will it without a shadow of “yexcuse disregard them as mere ante-clection falsehood and deception? The President re- plies to this question by saying: “We should have one view of the matter. and hold it with a sincerity that is not affected by the considera- tion that the party to which we belong is for the time in power.” What answer will the re- publican Congressmen make? Who will favor the fulfillment and who will favor the dishonor of the party's pledges? ee —___ The silver policy of the Secretary of the ‘Treasury is ingenious in theory and elabor- ately presented. The causes of the deprecia- tion of silver as acoin currency are stated at length. The Secretary insists that one cannot discard either gold or silver without invoking rious consequences, “How shail we isthe question for Congress, which he considers under the head of’ the various solutions that have from time totime been suggested. The measure he himself recom- mends is to issue Treasury notes against deposits of silver bullion at the market price of silver when deposited, payable on demand in such quantities of the bullion as will equal in value, at the date of presentation, the number of dollars expressed on the face of the notes at the market price of silver, or in gold, at the government's option: or in silver dollars, at the holder's option. He would repeal the compul- sory feature of the present coinage act. Hi suggestions are a subject of interested sion by the silver men and the bankers, al aes The building inspector is sound in his con- tention, hitherto printed in our news columns, that all large buildings in the city require fire- escapes, and that if the law is so defective that it cannot be exceuted it ought to be amended by Congress in such a manner as to permit its strict enforcement. His position, that the law of March 3, 18°7, requiring the inspee- tion of elevators should be carried into ctfect, is also in the line of public necessities, Th troubie about the last proposition is 1 no provision bas yet been made to pr inspector. a5 the loc can hardly provide for more nevessry obje than the two here proposed for additional Two specks of war ap) horizon. That perenuisl source of the bourse and foreign office, the Eastern ques. tion, assumes another phase i the reported irritation of Russia and Italy at the evarse Austria bas been forced to pursue as to Bal- garia’s ruler, Ferdinand, and the Itshan sea strip of the Tyrol known asthe Trentino. A nice little program, arranged between the ezarand the Kaiser Wilkeim by the deatrous Bismarck, was for Austria to ieave Ferdinand tohis fate and to surrender the Trentino, in- cluding Trieste, to I or at least give it a sort of autonomy. The first was to please Rassia, the last Ituly. But now Count Kaluoky informs the German chancellor that it will be worth the preservation of im- perial contro! in the Hangurian capital to carry into effect these plans, which to outsiders have the appearance of a reckless generosity with other people's goods. The second speck of war cloud is of an altogether different kind. It is not of dynastic origin, but it relates to dynasties iu the south of Europe. As the discrowned emperor of Brazil suiicd to Europe as a pas senger, sent abroad after a successful and bloodless revolution which set up a republic on the ruins of the only American monarchy. the hews was cabled from London that Portugal is Tipe for a revolution similar to that just effected io Brazil, There are seventeen thousand members of a revolutionary society in four principal cities and the army is said to be in favor of revolt. The recent visit of the Span- ish republican leader, Zorilla, inspired the Portuguese leaders with fresh courage and gave them many valnable suggestions, it is stated, Notwithstanding the cautious state- | ment of Castelar as to Spain, made the other day toa newspaptr man, it would seem that the whole peninsula is preparing repidly for a democratic movement. A Latin confederation, comprising Belgium, France, Spain and Por- tugal, possibly italy, is believed to be not an improbable thing in the future. $e ‘The testimony of so profound an observer end scholar as Mr. Gladstone ought to be worth much on any question of social ethics, In a recent paper in an American review he states that since the passage of the English divorce act in 1957 the standard of conjugal morality has perceptibly declined among the higher classes. He pronounces clearly on scriptaral and historical as well as moral grounds against the validity of remarriage after separation. It was not permitted by the law of the Latin and Anglican churches, and in England private acts of Parliament were not casily obtained granting absolute divorce. ““Mar- Tiage,” says Mr. Gladstone, “contemplates not only an absolute identity of interests and affec- tions, but alsothe creation of new, joint and independent obligations, stretching into the future and limited only by the stroke of death.” ‘Then he adds with a subtle stroke at the de- ®eneracy of the view too often taken on the subject: “The mystery of marriage is, I admit, toc profound fcr our comprehension, and it seems now to be too exacting for our faith.” <<< + = In Boston, the city of new ideas, a man has gone regularly into the business of “training horses not to mind the electric cars.” A broader philanthropy would suzgest his teach- ing his equine pupils that there are some things they ought to mind—their drivers’ orders, for fmstance. $+ —____ The disestablishment of the Church of Eng- and was the most startling recommendation of policy made by the British Liberal Federation et Manchester. It was not wholly unexpected, however, as the drift that way of the party, largely dependent upon non-conformists for support, has been apparent for some time. Scaczsrioxs To Crnisrwas Bevens.

SILVERBERG & CO, 25-30 312 7TH BT. 5.W. That's the popular idea. Everybody wants to get the most they can for their money. Who blames them? Wedon't. On the contrary we're all the time making the effort to widen the gap between our qualities and prices—raising the former and fore- ing the latter down, With the temperature where it is now we can't get ‘very far away from the Overcoat question. You ‘sre probably giving that matter the greatest con- sideration—for you need one—and what can inter est you more than a few leaders in the direction in which your thoughts are turning, Just a word before we settle down to business: We want you to weigh every statement of ours in the impartial balance of truth, You'll not find any “short weights.” It don't make any difference what statements or claims are mado by others— You'll always find us the LOWEST IN PRICE— andthe HIGHEST in QUALITY—for everything, whether it’s a pair of socks or a suit of clothes, It may take a little investigation on your part to prove that a dollar buys more with us than it does elsewhere; but s comparison always results in that conviction, We've seen thousands of them made, Our Overcoats start in at $10.—Do you think for ‘8 single instant we'd put our hanger on them if they were not reliable? We wouldn't, Cover up the price mark and compare them with what other People show youat $10.and you'd not hesitates moment at giving us $15 for ours, But they say at $10, for that’s enough for them, according to our idea, Take the $15 grade.—We import nearly as many Coats for this price slone as any of the other Clothiers in town carry in their whole stock, Talking of vari- ety and assortment—why,comparing theirs and ours would be like matching a summer shower against the deluge. It's very likely, though, they carry all that their trade requires—if so, you can’t blame them. That's what we do, and it taxes us for room to hold them all. At the $15 price we are showing scouple of hundred styles of all shapes and cuts— from the Short English Covert Coat, hardly longer than a jacket, up to the Long Form Enveloping Ulsters, Here are the nobby shades that are so often withheld for the higher-priced grades—all here for $15. Sack Coats, Cape Coats—English made, of English fabrics, on the English idea—and the American kind, too; Storm Coats and Fur- trimmed Coats. They are made carefully; lined and trimmed beyond what you'd expect for the price, At $20, 825, $30 and @35—you'll find garments every one of which you'd declare were custom made, While they're not—according to the general Acceptation of the term—they couldn't be any Lap seams, inserted velvet collare, silk aud satin trimmings—all those things that stand for elegance have been included in their make up, The fabrics—Meltons, Kerseys, Chinchillas, Cheviots, Beavers, Elysians, Friezes from the foreign and domestic looms—in plain finer if they were. and fancy weaves. Brightand snappy in pattern— that sets the nobby young man to wanting one at once—the quieter but still rich shadings and designs that appeal to the more settled taste of the middle-aged and elderly gentlemen, ‘We go on still higher—$40, 45, 850 fand 855—four grades more.

We have put to them the finest sort of silk,satin and cassimere linings ;leaving the selvage edges, which are so fashionable, or piping them with velvet; binding them in broad silk braid or double stitching them, according to the becom- ing effect, ‘The question of perfection of fit doesn’t want to enter into the matter atall. If we were not SURE that we could give you all that was to be desired on that point we wouldn't ask you to look at our lines at all—but it’s a certainty. Every garment in our stock, from the $10 to the $55 ones, is de- signed by experts with that point strongly in mind and success is the sure result, A HOLIDAY THOUGHT. As time creeps on toward Christmas thlngs are taking on a more gala appearance. It has become the cus- tom to reserve until this season of the year the purchase of certain necessities—and then turn them to account as gifts. Gentlemen's Slippers are probably more largely bought during this season than almost anything else—and consequently we are ready now to show youan assortment that will puzzle you to decide which style you think the prettiest—they're all.so fascizating. There are the Genuine Alligator Skins in the Opera and Everett shapes—Wine, Mahogany, Russet and Claret shades—the Genuine Alligator, remember— only $1.98, The lowest we ever heard of their being offered elsewhere was $2.50, Then another pleasing style is a Velvet with Chenille Embroidery and Quilted Linings. Same price— $1.98, Sold all around at $2.50, Wo want to show you @ Goat Opera with Patent-loather trimmings at $1.49 that’s rated by most dealers as a @2 Slipper. ‘We have cheaper grades and higher grades, but we only cite these two or three styles of “Mediums” togive you your “bearings.” You can get an idea ‘as to what we are doing for the holidays by them, ‘The Boys’ and Youths’ lines are full of novelties from 49c, to $2.50—and all the new styles of Ladies’ Party and Evening Slippers will be found on our’ counters, Every day now something new will be coming in. ‘Don't wait for us to tell you of the arrivals—drop in and look us over often.
