Those who wish printing done, in the way
of posters, or advertisements of sale of proper
ty will find it greatly to their advantage to have
it done at the COLUMBIAN Office We make
it a rule to notice in the newspaper all sales for
which we print the bills, and parties will there
fore observe that in addition to the handbills
they get notice in nearly two thousand copies
of the paper, circulated through the county.
This is an advantage whichno job Office, having
no circulation in the county, can offer, and for
which we charge nothing.

The RpuJiica of yesterday walls over the un-
gcaHcmdniy and diScoDutco,S manner in which the
COLUMBIAN treats its editors in these columns,
and talks about" personal journalism, ".and"reeI-
ing in the filth of personal abuse" and all that.
The object of this kind of stuff we cannot under
stand, as it is in no way applicable to us, we
having carefully avoided everything like per-
sonalties in our references to that Journal. As
to "personal enmity" or a desire 'to injure the
editors of the Republican in their social or busi-
ness relations" the writer of the article knows
very well that such an accusation against us is
without the slightest foundation We challenge
them to quote single article from the CoLUM'
BTAN which shows any such intention or desire
The names of the Republican editors have never
been mentioned in our columns in way that
could possibly be construed INTO personal abuse
We have mentioned them in connection with
the peculiar political tcnets which they promul'
gate for the purpose of showing the weakness,
of their position, and not with view to injurC
them personally. We have not the slightest oh
lection to their using, our names in the same
manner that we have used theirs.
We have alluded to one of the editors of the
| Replblican, who holds an Office under the United
States, and is therefore public man and sub
iect to criticism in his official capacity. Las
week we told how much salary he receives, and
| perhaps this is what the Republican terms 'per
sonol abuse" When editors endorse such incen
diary speeches as that made by Blaine in Con-
gress a short time ago, ought they to find fault
with such paragraphs as the following;
Blaine, Brown & Beckley, ct id genus homo
want another war, so that they can illustrat,
their vaor by staying at home and abusing
those who go.
With these exceptions, which are in no wis'
personal, we have seldom if ever used thei
names, and yet they would give out the impres
sion to their readers that the COLUMBIAN spend
most of its time in writing about them.
The illustration of such personal abuse a
they say they might heap upon US is not opro
nos first, because it would be fase,and secondly
because the object apparent ON the face OF
would be to injure us in our business relation
os private citizens, and not as public officials
As to the inexperienced" we are willing L
leave the verdict in the hands of the public,witl
the COLUMBIAN and Republican as evidence.

that of novelty of arrangement. As an induce
ment, copies are gratuitously donated to direI''
ors, and an ice,cream bout or oyster stew clihcl-

School books cost American students annu'

occurred an event never before heard of in the

To PosTMAsTERs.-The following from the
Courtland Democrat are "words fitly spoken y
and are applicable to many postmasters who do
not make themselves familiar with the law
We wish the several postmastcrs in this county
would obtain u copy of the postal laws, study
the provisions thoroughly, and act accordingly.
When for any reason newspaper lies dead in
any post office, it is the duty of the postmaster
to notify the publishers by letter stating the
reason, if he knows why the paper is not taken
out Returning the paper to the publishers is
prohibited and does not answer any require
ments of the law. Officials who do not observe
the law in this respect ought to be, and perhap,
may be, reported to the proper department.
NAGRANCY DEFINED.-The first section OF
the bill to suppress vagrancy, introduced in the
senate, defines the offence as follows. The
other sections are in the main similar to those
adopted by the poor directors convention al
Altoona:
l. All persons who shall unlawfully return
into any district whence they have been legally
removed without bringing a certificate from
the proper authorities of the city or district to
which they belong stating that they have a
settlement therein.
.. All persons who not having wherewth tC
ma intan themselves and their families, live
idly and without employment and refuse tc
work for the usual and common wages given
where they then are.
8. All persons who shall refuse TO perform
the work which shall be allotted TO them by tn,
overseers of the poor, as provided by the ac
of June IS, 1886, entitled an act relating to the
support and employment of the poor.
4. All persons going about from door to door
or placing themselves in streets, highways ol
other roads, to beg or gather aims, and all Other
persons wandering abroad and begging.
5. All persons who shall come from an!
place without this commonwealth to any place
within it, and shall be found lettering or resid
ing therein, and shall follow no labor, trade
occupation or business, and have no visibl
means of subsistence, and can give no reasona
bic account of themselves or their business il

The MennOnites.

Within a week or two over one thou
sand Mennonites have passed through
New York on their way to Kansas. They
came from Southern Russia, and are
composed of well-to-do farmers and
stock raisers. They are said to have
money, and purpose buying lands in
Kansas. The Mennonites were founded
by Memo Simonis, contemporary of
Martin Luther. Memo gathered fol-
lowers about him in Holland, and set
tied in Russia in 1890. Liberal privi-
leges were granted the settlers by the
Emperor Paul and the Empress Katha-
rina III, An extensive reservation was
granted them in 1904, in which a second
colony was founded. That so thrifty
and intelligent a class of producers
should exhibit so genuine desire to
come to America would seem to indicate
that some of the special privileges grant
ed them have either. been or are in dan
ger of being disturbed. There are
strong probabilities that the entire Men
monte communities of Southern Europe
will eventually settle in America, and
such class of emigration is one upon
which we have every reason to congratu-
late ourselves.
