THE BALTIMORE Gazette announces this
morning that all its property and fran
chises have passed into the hands of w. b.
Hazelton that on the first of the coming
January it will appear in enlarged form,
and with independent proclivities, and be
styled The Times. Mr.. Hazelton is young
man of great energy and promise in jour
nalism, and has been connected with the
Baltimore press in various capacities long
enough to be master of its journalistic pos
sibilities. We understand that the chief
motive of the new management is to work
up the industrial boom and on-political
resurrection that has visited the South
and make the new forces conduce to the
commercial welfare of the Monumental
City. Brains and capital being promised in
rich profusion, we have no doubt the enter
prise will succeed.

DEFREEs, after over four years, has dis.
covered that the printers working in the
Government Printing.ofiice after midnight
are not entitled to extra pay. Ever since
the Office was established it has been the
rule to pay this extra moicty for work per-
formed after midnight. Defrees says he
never knew it before, and yesterday he
gave notice that it would no longer be paid.
If his claim that 1t is against the law to
pay IT is good, then he has been faithless TO
his trust for four years, and is really re.
sponsible to the Government for the
amounts overpaid. But we do not believe
that there is anything in the law against
Its payment. Neither do we believe that
any officer of the Government should cut
down mechanics wages at any time, and
much less at this time when the tendency
Is upward and the cost of living has been
increased to great extent. Defrees has
outlived his usefulness If he ever had any.
and should be bounced at once and n man
with some sense, honesty and some heart
put in the place.
