LAW AND ORDER.
Last Sunday evening Rev. C. P. Croft, from bis pulpit in the Congregational church, uttered some very earnest words as to the moral condition of the city, the laxity in the enforcement of the laws and the Corruptions in political parties. He thought the time had come when the earnest, upright citizen could no longer look on the growing lawlessness in silence. His theme has occupied considerable space in the papers this week and has cau®ed much comment.
On Tuesday evening there was a meeting of some thirty prominent citizens at Centenary church to rganize what was christened a "Citizens Association," the purpose of which is to endeavor to secure the nomination and elect for county and city officials competent, courageous, conscientious men, men who will honestly attempt to perform the duties imposed upon them by their oath of office to aid and encourage such officials by sympathy and moral influence in their attempt to enforce the laws, especially those relating to the moral order of the community to strive and keep alive a public sentiment that shall not only demand the execution of our present laws, but ask for better law and to do whatever may seem best to promote the moral and social interests of our community.
Prof. Seller presided and among those taking prominent part in the discussion which at times was quite vigorous and animated, were Capt. Potter, I. H. C. Royse, Revs. Croft, Breeden and Kummer, Dr. Scoville, Dr. Mitchell and Wm. Eggleston. There were slso in attendance such citizens as Pres. Thompson, Pres. Brown, Wm. Paddock, Sam'l McKeen, R. S. Tennant, A. H. Kildow, Prof. Humpke, Prof. Donaldson, A. Z. FoBter, T. C. Buntin, F. D. Russell, J. T. H. Miller, B. F. Bolinger, Jos. Gilbert, A. B. Stoner, C. R. Peddle, Prof. Sandlson, Prof. Waldo, A. B. Gwyn, Isaac Ball, J. H. Williams, J. A. Parker and others.
A constitution and by-laws was adopted. In discussing membership, fl admission fee was talked of, but it was decided to make it free to all. When Mr. Eggleston suggested that ladies be admitted, Capt. Potter promptly called him to order.
A "mass meeting" is to be held at the Congregational church next Tuesday evening, when it is probable a more definite line of action will be mapped out. If divested of fanaticism, andHhe overzealous can in a measure be subdued, such an association is capable of doing a power of good, and nowhere is such an organization more needed than in this city. The Mall would suggest that the first place of attack be at the ward meetings for the selection of city council men to be elected one week from next Tuesday. At each ward meeting less than one hundred of our best citizens in either party can control the nomination of councilmen, and in this way the city affairs can be placed in the hands of men not controlled by low ward politicians and these whose highest and ouly aim is "the good of the pwty."

RETAILING
•AT-
WHOLESALE PUS.
Those "glittering generalites" that are so freely and familiarly used in adver—*• a tising literature to assert the possession of superior inducements, do not, in tbor long run, avail the tradesmen who employ these verbal offsets, unless they are tared to prove that their claims and pretensions are well founded. hen we say that we carry (in all depiartments—the Men's, the Young's, the Boys', the Children's) much the largest, the most comprehensive, the most complete stocks of Clothing offered in this market, and that we Retail at Wholesale rices, saving our patrons one profit, we assert provable facts. Our stock speak «. or themselves. You can see for yourselves and compare them with others.
to prices, we guarantee, in all cases, that if they do not prove to be from 10 to SB per cent below all competition, the money will be refunded to the buyer upon mturn of the goods unsoiled.
Our ability to retail at wholesale prices—to save you one profit on every parchase—is easily explained. We manufacture our own stocks. Our FactorV at Utica, New York,supplies the numerous large retail clothing stored of Owen, Fixley A Oo. in various parts of the eountry, wirh their stocks besides filling jobbing orders from points where no retail store of said firm is located.
Owen, Pixley & Co.'s •.
CLOTHING STORE.
Is the original and only House in this city whose Clothing stooks, for Man, Youth or boy, are all manufactured by its own proprietors, and we Retail at Wholesale Prices, or at prices as low as those which other dealers must pay for their stock*.
We retail FDRNISH1NG GOODS at Wholesale Prices, ana our ability to do so is likewise easily made clear. We are jobbers of Furnishing goods. The stooks required by our numerous retail stores alone—all under one general management —equal the quantity handled by extensive jobbing house. The large quantities required by our trade secure for us the lowest first-cost price. We stand in thin regard upon an equal footing with the largest jobbers of Furnishings in the United States. We are content with one profit, which makes our selling prioa about the same that the ordinary retailer must pay for his stocks. Of course,whea the ordinary retailer adds his profit to his cost price is higher than ours by th» amount of his own profit. This may be illustrated by a number of examples. For instance, take a given kind of underwear, ol which we buy, in one order, say 15 cases of 60or 70 dozen each, from Manufacturers and Importers, at their lowest figures, while thesmall dealers must go to jobbers like ourselves to get their sappiles, as their orders are below the minimum of those received and filled by Manufactures and Im agine that some and actually
