Why not doaetbe menhaden pirate* I with that awful thlnB- Jer»ey lightning ? ] Kx-Qorernor Curtln thinks Now Voik will be the main presidential battle | ITOOnd. Prince BiamarkaJ2.000,000 of aoldlera will in time 'np tfie rnwperlty of the The McCoT-Hatfleld Tendrils was moat graphically written up In the New York Wtrid of last Wednesday. Speaker Carlisle has cut I he broker's wires connecting the Houre of Representatives with stock exchanges' If the National Republican Convention, which meets at Chicago next June, wants to name a business .nsn for the presidency, who would make a hot light, It should not overlook the name of John Hob. June* 0. Blaine, from far off Florence. Iuly, has written a letter to Cbairaaa Jones, of the National Republican Committee, announcing that he win not be a candidate for the presidency at the Chicago Convention. Of the new cruisers the Washington Slav says: "The Atlanta coats $2,000 leas than the estimates, the Boston $U,000 less, and the uncompleted Chicago W0, 000 lets. It will coat about about •75,000 to llnlsh the Chicago, I but making her total cost $3,000 leas than the estimates." Mi. George W. ChUds hat rrfuaed the Presidency as often as Cicaar refused the crown, and, unlike Ca-aar, be slwars means what be says. No man In toe country, we take It. would have an easier path to nomination and diction, and no man would fill the offlre more to the public advantage; bnt It la out of the j— rinn "For he himself hath ■aid ft," and said it often. Now that Mr. Blaine has directed his name crossed oil the list of presidential candidates, and Mr. Childs has said "no" load enough to be heard all over the land, why not give John Wanamakor a chance to express himself. He has shown by his remarkably successful business career that he has the rare executive genius to lit him for the presidency. The man who can master such a business as Mr. Wsnamskrr Is now doing, may be safely nested with the helm of state, and the War* suggests his nsme to the National Republican Committee. We expect no reward If Mr. Wanamaker be elected except a good paying poet oflcc, or eomriblng of the kind. The Pniladelphla Tina has rec. ntly ■aid editorially: "The modern robbers of the sea, the men who are turning the flahof the Atlantic coast waters Into ol and fertiliser for the profit of a handful of capitalists, are packing Washington with a powerful lobby. These same mea have defeated all restrictive legislation in the past and hope to do it of the shore fishermen Is being ruined. The cheap food of the people Is becoming scarce and the price forced up. Choice varieties of flfh have already been nearly driven out of our waters by these menhaden steamers. N6 State is suffering more than New Jersey. Now let New Jersey come to the front and fight for the protection the la demanding again -t the menhaden pirates. let her send her delegations to Washington, and let tbem be large ones. Prompt action la necessary." Trenton Feb. 14.— The House has pasatd bllti providing that commissioners appointed nnder the sewerage act of 1987 shall receive $900 for their services, providing that moneys forfeited on recognisances shall be paid over by the officer receiving them within ten days; Appropriating $8,000 additional for the purpose of lighting the Reform School at Jametburg; providing that Common Outsells may, after the adoption of the taxes, borrow in anticipation an amount not exceeding one-half the total amount ordered to be assessed.

Vacamakn'*. [f raiLUtatvau Moodar. Teh. is, ml j Concerning Linens, ie think it wise to tell * something special about Lin- t ens, -» • \ Three main facts about ; them we want widely known: First — We probably sell , , more housekeeping Linens ] than any cither house in Amer- j ' . ica. We gather them by per- | , | sonal search all over Europe. rjWe buy at the least prices \ | and bring the goods from \ points of , production with ; | every 'possible econonjy. A . ' small commission is our only i net profit, and the retail trade ' ' gets the full benefit of all our ■ facilities. • Second — Some prices quot- ' ed here are speculat ve, some . regular; but a matching of ' goods with prices in the whole > retail market will bring the r decision in our favor. > Third — With us Linen is ; Linen. Jute or cotton we ■ do not sell fo^Linpn. ) Damask, Double Damask, ; and Fine Double Damask t Table Linens. Nine manuI facturers under tribute for this class of goods alone. J 50,000 yards received during . the last thirty days, and as 8 much more coming during . the next thirty. } IrlM^ Cream Damask, 66 1 inches, at 40c, and the same, width, full bleached, at 50c. 1 Of the latter our present * orders to makers cover 33,j 000 yards. The great buy- ' ing power is the secret of : I our cheap selling. Bleached Damask, 65 inch- | es, at 45c; another 70 inches, , | 80c, and 72 inches, 85c. German Bleached Damask, , J 72 In., at 75c and $1 ; with a 1 large variety of figures, $1.10 | and $1.65. The latter has always heretoiore been $2. j Fine Double Damask at , $1.10, $1.35, $1.65. t Women's Handkerchiefs. t Kinds and kinds up to $6 1 each. 8 Some of the moderate r pt iced sorts : f Embroidered, scalloped, v mostly white, a few tinted, J 25, 30, and 35c. The price > is less than half because the " embroidery is not as we would ■ have it - Plain white hemstitched, ; 16c each, or 90c a half doz. ; We never knew them before under 25c each, j Mourning Handkerchiefs. i Bought for Christmas; too f late. New styles, 25 and I 35c- ; Unlaundered Initial Handf kerchiefs, i2j^c. ' Wherever else can you buy • them, without the initial, for 5 so little? Our special quality unlaun- [ dered Handkerchief, plain, * hand-hemstitched, made from [ selected flax, 25c each, $3 a i dozen. Sheer linen, unlaundered, ~

J Y in. hemstitch, $1 a dozen. ° And Handkerchiefs of a ® hundred other styles. ■ Late word from Paris : t "Silks will be worn for street • wear more than for perhaps 0 three years past.'' ■ No Paris word needed to j tell that SQk prices were never £ lower and that they are not likely to so low very long: - Stocks of foreign Silks long . held back for better prices - are being pushed out. Own- - ere must realize. We have • got held of a number of of - attractive lots in that way. Watered Silks — "moires,'' 1 the most popular for trim- • ming. A new style this seas son in blacks and colors, I a $3.50 and $3. Richer, more • involved, [more artistic than e ever before. 74 colorings in Moire Fran- " caise to match all the shades of plain Silks, $1.50 and $2. India Silks. Almost every day adds to the assortment. Fresh invoices by each steamer. New shades; new designs. These light, fine fabrics are likely to be among the most fashionable for the coming Spring and Summer. 27 inches wide, $1 — many of the styles would be quick at more. Special offerings in China and Japanese Silks as well. »• lor a piece of 19, to 20 yards, l ™ Thumpa piece of this Pongee: a no dust.
