Locality In Politics.

We have never suffered the question OF
locality to control us in our expression oil
political preferences, and the more thought
that we give to that peculiar line OF ar
rument when used TO bolster up the
claims of those who seek elective or ap-
pointable offices, we become convinced
that If pursued Ia its legitimate ending
tina, il would he the rciuctio dd dhsWddm.
Of course. when all things else are equal,
that official who has the right 10 I'LL
places of trust might give sone considers
ton to locality. But the argument. if II
can lee dignifcd 10y that name, becomes
absurd whenever men vote for an incom-
ucicut candidate hccau>" he comes from
their parish or district. The man best
fitted for the place 10y reason of problty
and ability is the man to be. appointed
whether h. resides in the north, south,
east or west. We will never be converted
hy the argument of locality So long n
that alone j. urged.

The rise in tn" price If paper If all kinds
will force the great New York w"cklir- to
raisr their subscription prices. The New
York sur. World, Tribune, Times, and 9th
or papers, at one dollar a year, are the
cheapest articles ever sold 10 the public.
But with rise IN paper If very near forty
per cent. all tiles" papers will complete
their present contracts st q dead los.
What will be- the amount of the increase
j. not yet known, certainly not less than
fifty per cent.
Paper manufacturers gave ~ an excuse
for the advance. that the tariff on chcmi-
Gals and other material used in the manu-
fIcturc made the increased price an ah-o-
lutte necessity, But now that Congress, IN
response Ia the popular demand, proposes
To remove that duty tlrr' manufacturers oh
jcct aud demand that they be allowed the
advantage of high prices ~ well ~ other
manufacturers. A. good luck would have
it, the people are directly and scn,ihly af-
frctcd by the outrage Of the paper men.
The American citizen has become accus-
TONED 10 his mammoth city weekly for one
dollar year, aud he will growl to some
effect when nh advance of fifty pr cent.
may force him to cut of his fayoritc paper.
The circulation of the most influential has
been made unusually large by their low
prices. Their advertising patronage has
been large accordingly. For these REASONS,
all papers of any character or influence will
favor the free admission Of foreign paper.
All these facts lead II, to believe that short
work will he made of the paper men ia
their attempt to rob the people.
