Such il Fame A Hint to News
paper Writers.

Jackson Comet.
When you are writing for che
press and come to Il proper name
be exceedingly careful to omit
letter, or to run the ais and 0's and
MS aud MS and RS and t's and Is
and b's into each otler iu way to
give the compoSitor chance 10
guess. When you present a proper
name to an intelligent compositor
which is not plainly written he is
certain to guess what it is, and he
is certain to guess wrong. We
never knew one to bit It right yet.
Aud he don't do it on purpose. He
can't help it. It's fate. The writer
may damn him with cuss words,
but that don't change the face OF
the horrid types, besides tue prin-
ter has already had the first swear
on it and thus holds the vantage
ground. Swearing don't do IA bit
of good 1t can't change nature.
Some writer's are exceedingly
careful aud accurate with their
penmanshir, giving each word its
iuIlcomplemeut of letters, and each
letter its proper curl, until he comes
to the name of man, or place or
foreign phrase, and there he breaks
down. He don't do it on purpose.
it's destiny.
In illustration of the above sage
remarks we Introduce Il paragraph
from the Mississippi correspondent
of the New Orleans daily States
alt is surprising that such sensi-
bic men as Col. Thos. w. Harris,
of Mr.. Mouniug's district, could be
duped into working for the repub-
lican party. In Col. Harris, Mr..
Mourning will have u dangerous
opponent"
We do not doubt that this CO.
respondent meant to write Man.
ming. and th, intelligent compost
tor ought to have known it, but 1t
appears that he didn't, aud When
no distinction is made between as
and o's or between aS aud MS III a
name which the compositor never
heard Of before, we can see that
his mistake is perfectly natural.
Wh.n writer's 1ciU introduce
proper names and French they
ought to make the letters spelling
them plainly. II they don't, they
may expect when the paper comes
out, to receive moral shock upon
their religion.

po,iticatOuiIook IN Massachusetts,

Pittsburg Post.
In regard to the outlook in Mas.
sachuselts, Mayor Prince. OF Bos-
ton, secretary OF the democratic
national committee, says: Inc
work of organization is rendered
unusually easy by the voluntary
efforts that are made all over the
States. The indications are that
the city of Boston will give a ma,
iority for Hancock aud English OF
10. .OOO, and that congressional gains
may be expected. He called atten-
tion to some curious figures relat-
ine to the increase of votes IN Bos-
ton and IN the State of Massachu
sets during late years. In lolZ
the total vote of Boston was 81, i0i,
of which 1870 were republican
and l2.932 democrats. In 1876 the
total vote was "A, of which Til
den received 23.334 aud Hayes 20
43S. The total Increase IN four
wears was 11,4l5, and the demo
cratic increase 1892, against re-
publican gain of 663. In the whole
State of Massachusetts the increase
in the same pulnber of years was
$685., OF which 49,517 were demo
Gratis and only 1851 republican.
If. the same ratio of comparative
cain has continued during the last
four years, it is possible that ws
may have some surprising results
! in Massachusetts this year. The
gain in Boston will certainly b'
very large, Us the polls assessed by
the city OF Boston this year arr
93,36S, while only 68,s15 legal yot
prs we're shown by the State Uensu
Of 1875.

FAIRS or ELIZABETH, y. J.-IT is SENT TO The
GPAND JURY.
Some time since, at the request Of n number Of
residents Of Elizabeth. n. j., Charles &. Ste
venson was appointed by Judge Van Syckel of
the Supreme Court to make a summary examination
OF the affairs of the city. Mr. Stevenson has com
plctcd his repor, and the court has sent it TO the
Grand Jury Of Union County. calling attention TO it,
and inviting the jury to take such action may be
deemed ex xpedient. The court also ordered the re-
port to be published.
II charges that warrants have been drawn by the
Controller and paid by the Treasurer without
ton of law, especially in the year 1S75, and cites
several instances, and particularly in reference TO

pad to members OF the City Council for legislative
services without authority of law. and for which

amounts are given. Small deduct Ons were made
from the salaries Of some OF the Councllmcn to pay
the expenses of getting their salary bill through
the LEGISLATURE. These deductions, however,
refused to yield To.
II is charged that for a number Of years and
under several different Controllers, city improve
nent bonds have been sold years IN advance Of the
unprOv vencDts and the money spent Tor other pur-
poses leaving the improvements 10 be paid for ont
of thc general resources OF the CITY. Ccrtf-
Gates Of Indebtedness have been issued for these
improvements. but no authority OF law can be
found for them. 1t is further claimed that
distinctions were made between purchasers
in the price of bonds sold by the city at the
same time aud the same day, the difference amount
ing to a material sum. There seems 10 have been
few special fayortcs to whom these chances
were offered Purchases have been Tadc
by tho city III some instances of bonds
from certain persona at prices reaching high as
20 per cent in advance of the regular market rate
Ii is also charged that large balances, sometimes
reaching $500, 900. have been kept by the city in
The State National Bank when the city was paying
large amounts for accommodation /; and that bonds
