Mr.. William j. Swain, who has lately started
penny paper in Philadelphia, called the Pub
lte Record, is receiving everywhere the censures
Of the press for his indefensible ii not actually
dishonest invasion OF the business rights Of the
Public Ledger, by making his paper fac simile
OF the latter in type, arrangement of matter.
vignette, and general appearance. This ap-
preparation Of the distinguishing features, the
trade mark OF the Ledger, does not seem to he
much more justifable than would be the ab
straction of the contents of the Ledqer's M ,pev
drawer. And this course of Mr.. Swain in this
matter is the more reprehepsible from the fact
that he starts the Record with money paid by
MIR. Childs to his father for the Le,f1sr. and
further, that Mr.. Childs has not only given him
the most generous aid and encouragement I'm
his newspaper project, but has been magnani-
nous enough to admit him to the privileges of
the Associated Pres, when his voice would
have been potential to exclude him. That Mr.
swain should, under these circun stances. seek
10 l1uure his benefactor, and undermine the
business for which Mr.. Childs paid a princelv
price TO his father shows traits OF character not
peasant to note in a newspaper man: and wo
are not sorry to see that the record is likely 10
fail altogether in obtaining the ADVANTAGES
hoped by this trick. The Philadelpbians eem
inclined to let it alone severely. 1t was a short
sighted policy at best, for no imitation of the
individuality of an established paper has ever
yet succeeded, or ever will.

mi sions were adopted.
The question then arose on the locality of the

wards withdrawn. The roll was called and n
vote taken. The result was 300 voted for New
