Public Printer.

We learn that S. P. Rounds, of Chicago, is
cadidate for the Office of Public Printer, at WASH
ington. There is fitness in this candidacy
which should insure his success, and We are con-
tident that every Western printer will heartily
endorse and recommend him. His intimate re-
lations with the printers of the West, for the
past thirty years, have made them regard him as
father. His experience practical printer
has been almost lifelong, and there is not an
item or detail of the printing business, or the
manufacture of type and machinery, that he is
not thoroughly familiar with. He would be
equally at home in experimenting the work or
in purchasing material, Nothing 'snide' could
be palmed off upon him. 1t is not often that a
deserving printer strikes it fat, in the way of a
lucrative position. They may toll away for
years. fighting the battles of parties and politi-
clans, securing offices for others, bearing the
brunt and receiving the cuffs; but IT is very sell
dom that n man in power says to one Of them:
.'Can do anything for you' Is there not some
good position that you would like, and that
could help yOu to." Now, let the printers give
a boost to one of their own number-and who
more deserving or capable than S. p. Roundsl
IT This temperance law presents new boom
erang phases, every day. 1t will be remembered
that a large majority Of the druggists of Kansas
We're strongly in favor of the amendment, and
actively labored for its adoption. Their reason
was, that they hoped to make the profits hereto
fore enjoyed by the saloons, in the way of carry
ing on dram-shOps for medicinal purposes. But
the law makes it about as hard to keep drug
store as a saloon, and those very same druggists
are howling the lnudest about the outrage per-
petrated in enactin- the law, and declaring that
it must be undonc. Everybody who supported
the amendment, imagined that it going to
stop eyerybody's whiskey business except their
own. Now that they find they the first ones
hit, and the hardest-used, it puts entirely diff
ierent face upon the thing.
