will show ourselves worthy of them. All

Stopping Newspapers.

There is n right way and wrong way
TO do everything to stopa newspaper or
else. One Of our exchanges has
the right idea when it says:
"You have an undoub:ed right to stop
a new spapcr whenever you are disposed,
upon payment Of all arrcaragcs. Do not
hesitate to do so on account of any ten
ldcrncss of feeling to the editor Don't
you suppose hc would stop buying sugar

moneys worth? And when you dis

be SO pitiful as to throw it back OH tho

want it any longer! and have refused
written on the margin,a and have the paper
returned to the editor. No gentleman
ever stopped paper in that way, no
matter if his head is covered with gray
hairs that should be honorable. If you
do not longer wish 10 receive ncwspa-
per, write a note TO tho editor like
man saying so-and be sure that arrear-
ages are paid. This is the way to stop a

Ooverfor Baker Gets the Cold
Shoulder from n ReDuhlicA,&.

| The Shclbyville Republican, an intense
Republican sheet, eniertains the opinion
that the ''facts and figures showing the
financial management Of State affairs.
Nhic. GOvernCr BAKER elaborated with
$50 much care and no less duplicity. even
II they represented the actual results. of
the financial policy and management
under Democratic and Republican rules;
would have no influence upon the pub
inc mind, for the good reason that the
precepts and deductions of Ills Excel
lency do not correspond with his prac-
tice. While denoucing extravaganza and
attempting TO fasten corruption upon his
political opponents, Governor BAKER
himself presents not only the example
lof plain violation of law. but he gives
lhoillrstration of economy when his own
Interests are involved. The Rcpublicari
plainly and unequivocally declares that
the speech of Governor BAKER on the
financial affairs of the State, and we use
its own words, Twill have little or no
force with the people. coming from him."
And why! We will let the Republican
answer the inquiry in its own words:
"Thc last State Convention spoke the
sentiments of the Republican party.
when they resolved against all illegal
and constructive fees. Yet Govern Ba-
kcr is an opeu yioIltor OF that principle,
every day of his official life. At the
end of his term, he will have bccm Gov
crnor for the State six years In that
time he will have drawn from the State
Treasury, the enormous sum of THIRTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS for house rent alone
The law conterplates that he shall draw
only ms much as he is compelled to paw
ont for that purpose. lie pays out about
$500 per annuin. He pockets. illegal
ly of the peoples money. $500 per an
mum.
At the end of his last term the account
will stand as follows:
Drawn out S3O,oOO
rad out 5000
Illegally appropriated $4,000
If every Republican Official in the
State were to thus violate the law, the
figures would make very sorry show
ing indeed; and we would, as a party be
driven from power. II is matter OF
the deepest modification to every Re-
publican in the State that the Governor.
who breaches honesty SO much, should
lpractice 1t so little. 1t were better fo,.
the Rcpublican party that II relc ctod its
preachers of economy from those who
practice it.
For the reasons abotc given. we are Of
1.-The opinion that Governor Bakers
speech, as campaign document will
not be success"
1t would look little better If His
IExcellcncy shauld remove the beam
from his own eyes before he discusses
State finances in the future. and finds
fault with the notes in the ewes of his
political opponents. 1t would be i'm
possible to tell how much Of the peoples
imoncy "Old Honesty" would have pock-
cted if the act allowing him conpensa-
tion for house rent had not been limited
