Difficulties of Establishing a Lo'

1t is a tact--unfortunate, but lev
crthclcss true-that very many

amount of patronage to their local
paper sufficient TO keep it upon a

Twas well said" eternal vigi-
lance is the price Of liberty and
a more potent truth was never nj
tered than-fidelily to principle is
the guardian Of liberty. 1t will be
seen by reference TO our columns,
that the State Central Committee
of tho Democratic Conservative
party have called TO meet soon ai-
ter the adjournment of the coasti.s
tutional conventional convention
OF the party for the State and urge
timely county organizations-Take
heed friends of principle and re-
torm-men who have heretofore
called themselves democrats-time
servers are now industriously try
ing to predjudicc the minds Of tho
people against democratic organ
ization in the county, whilst the
loyal-leaguers are still meeting in
midnight conclavc to plot against
popular rights-dcmocrats and
conservatives who cannot sec that
the crisis IL reached, are certainly
voluntarily blind-be not deceived
by the men who are now stcalthily
attempting TO poison the minds Of
the people against democratic or
ganization and nominating a full
ticket for the approaching election
they have erected on tho altar
of their hearts the radical God
ofiice-knowing that their lack of

There is not a more iutolerable
nuisance upon earth than the news
paper bore. lie carries off your
exchanges; insists upon reading
your proot-sheets and tbon goes out
and tells what will be in the paper ;
smokes your pipe; upsets your

trudes his advice upon you. lie
listens keenly to any private con
versation you may be having about
something that does not concern
him in the least. Turn him loose
in the composing room and he is
worse than a bull in a china shop,
We remember hearing once of a
newly married bore, who, as all
newly-married men do, thought he
knew everything, and took his fresh
victim to explain to her the mystic
ries of a printing office. Coming
up to an unoccupied case pbout hall
full of letter, he said to his bride

A big Doctors Fee.

The son and heir of the late Ed
win Stephens, Mr.. John G. Stepb-
ems, although he is the possessor of
almost unlimited wealth, being
worth some s75, 600, 900, has, until
very lately been a most unhappy
man. lie has been afflicted since
his birth with very peculiar wen,
which has increased year by year,
until 1t covered large portion of
his face and neck. 1t was a most
unpleasant object, being covered
with long hair and strangely re-
scmbled an animal. No man could
see it without n shudder, and ladies
have tainted at the sight of it. OF
course Mr.. Stephens felt the afllic-
ton most keenly, and it had natu-
rally enough, a very depressing eff
feet upon his spirits. What was
his immense wealth TO him ANY
workman in his employ was more
to be envied than he. lie became
morose and almost melancholy
society that he was exceedingly
fond OF, he studiously avoided, and
although n young man he became
almost reeluse. The physicians
and surgeons of Europe were con-
suited, but they all said that to re-
move the wea could but result in
death. Although his life was so
miserable, still there was hope, and
he bore bravely up against repeat
ed disappointments. Delivcranco
came at last, and a few days ago
an operation was performed which
made him new man. DR.. Will
lard Parker, of this city, had faith
to believe that the wen could be
removed. lie told Mr.. Stephens
so, and the young man, grasping
at the straw, promised him $780,
000 ifhe would perform the opera
tlon successfully. lie did so, and
has earned the everlasting graft.
tude, as well as the money, of the
young millionaire, who is now pro-
nounced out of danger. the oper-
alton was performed with electric
knives, and it is said that when the
horrid tumor was removed, the skin
beneath was as sound and smooth
as that of any other part Of tho
body. Notwithstanding the cloud
that has hung over his whole life,
the young man has had his love af,
fair like the rest Of us. In early
youth he was bctrothcd TO q h.tle
girl, the daughter Of one Of his
fathers dearest friends, who always
loved him, and sorrOwed with his
allliction. While the hateful thing
was upon him, it is said, Mr.. Steph-
ems gave up all idea of boing mar
ried, but now that it has been re-
moved, we shall expect soon to
hear Of great wedding festivities AZ

struggle on the part of the publish
er 10 meet the unyiclding demand,
of the typc-ioundcr and paper ma
ker with the Inpalpable proceeds o.
general and generous promises o.
liberal subscriptions, advertising
and job-work on the part Of every,
body Interested IN having paper
started, but which being once
launched upon its uncertain voyage
they are apt to think can be run by
determined persistence on the par
of tie publisher, aided solely by
the "nod wishes of the genera
public.
| 1t Is undeniably true, as an alb
stract proposition, that every well
conducted newspaper should stand
upon its own bottom that when
such paper fails to secure a suili
Gent patronage TO render it profit
able in business point Of view, IT
is prima facia proof that such paper
ought not TO exist, in other words,
it supplies an article forwhich there
is 10 sufficient demand TO warrant
its being. In this view OF the case,
there can be no duty on the part OF
any one to help support his local
newspaper; if he wants to read it,
and considers il worth the subscrip-
tion price, he takes it; otherwise
he does not. And just the same in
regard to advertising if five dollars
spent in advertising his business
will bring him a speedy return in
the way OF increased business, why,
all right and if not, he would be
very foolish to spend his five dol
lars in that way. Business is bu-
siness " in the opinion of such mer
and money spent for the purpose
of sustaining newspaper in their
community is in their opinions mo-
ncy thrown away.
1t is perhaps needless TO say that
in our opinion none but very mar
row minded and contracted soul
will consider his local paper in this
light. Every man in town pos
sessed Of an enterprising local pa
per, whether he subscribes for il
and advertlses in it or not, is bene-
fitted by the publication Of that pa
per in many ways. Probably to &
greater extent than all other means
combined, it advertises the town
and its business interests to the
outside world, thereby attracting
immigration and adding so much tC
the value Of every mans possess
ions, whether of real estate or mer.
chandisc, in the town. 1t is the
great popular instructor and insti'
gator of those necessary and health
tnl public improvements, lacking
which no town can hope TO become
either Il desirable place for business
or residence. 1t is 'all this and
more than this, and generally with
out the hope of any adequate re-
ward for its services. What other
person, business or institution, can
do or will do as much for a town as
local paper? That town there
fore which does not generously pa
tronizc and support its local news
paper you may invariably know is
controlled by narrOw-minded indi-
vidua!s whose sole principle of life
is to get all they can and keep all
they get. The live man OF business
naturally shurs such town its
business is diverted TO other and
moro enterprising places, and soon
er or later, its business houses and
factories stand only as monuments
Of what 1t once was-and what ii
might have continued TO be had it
only properly supported It's local

the high taxation. from the poorest to the
rich. Why should not churches, temples.
synagogues, converts, cloisters, ehapels.
masonic, and all benevolent societies prop
erty be taxed. 1t is high time. Let minis
ters OF every denomination pay a licen se
think. Mr.. Editor, they are more able to
do SO than our doctors. II exempted prop.
ertr should be taxed, then the State could
afford to do something again for charitable
institutions: but now We have sisters beg
gins for assistance every day for the poor
orphans. Let them build less costly
churches, and sustain the sisters a little
more. hope that soon one Of our able
Senators will bring in bill. Every tax.
