.'wE Tom YoY So.r-Durius the past Sum

subscribed for the New York Adrocafe, an in
tensely Greenback paper, of large size, that was
offered for IS cents year. Now they arc won
dering why the paper has stopped coming. Thy
ought to have governed themselves BY the good
common sense and business rule, which teaches
that when man offers anything Tor less than it
is possible to produce it, the loss must he made
good by stealing swindlng, or the enterprise
fails. The white paper for that publication
alone cannot be bought for less than about 50
cents year. How, then, could the printed pa
per he offered for 25 cents q yearf The sub
scibers might have expected il to stop on their
hands, at any time. II was charged, before the
election, that the bankers and brokers were
backing the paper, for the purpose of advocating
the most foolish aud disgusting Greenback and
Communistic doctrines, as the surest way of set
ting public opinion against them. This charge
is still made. Now that the elections are over,
the paper is permitted to die. 1t would be
better if Kausss people patronized home papers,
at living prices, rather than send their money
to cheap Eastern concerns, to be swindled.

REFORM glorious thing is Reform. II he
puI,licans can be beaten on the issne OF Reform,
il is a grand achievement, although Republicans
NAV have conducted public affairs with the
strictest integrity. Brown County, west OF us,
has experienced the benefits of Reform. For
years, the Republicans had control of the County
Offices, and In that time not dollar was lost to
the people. But the Grange reformation struck
the Comfy, and the people wanted Reform.
They elected Reformer County Treasurer, over
a good Republican, and reelected him; and
when lie could no louger be re elected, by reason
of wise provision in our laws, his deputy wai
elected to the Office. Then settlement with
the Reform Treasurer was necessary. 1t is now
openly asserted that at least si2 000 il not more,
has somehow slipped out, during the admins
tration of this Reformer and his Reform deputy.
But If the people of Brown County are willing
to pay for Reform. they ought to enjoy it. The
Democrats aud Reformers have for years been
trying to get hold of the important Offices o
Doniphau County. The Republican Officers
have never stolen dollar from the County, but
still some people are clamorous for Reform. II
they ever do succeed in their designs, it will
turn out to be such Reform ~ the people Of
Brown Comfy have enjoyed.
