''-orsmeut on the stereotyped appearance
-r,hs average country paper. 1t is the en-
.-.ising Newspaper men that have city
,,'ncb Office, where the outside of theil
s- Is printed. They are constantly com
..ilsd TO send away for paper, and If they
,,s same time can have the type set and
~. ,r;ptinr done on a portion of theil
- and at the same time by com
s;rs,ieu of interests produce more &C
,eptabe journal it is piece of enterprise
r., should be commended. There are a
,,,nh,r of well-dispoSed printers that do
N, ike to hare a part Of paper printed in
,ovn or city distant from The home Office,
-, the same printers do not hesitate TO send
;ob rork TO distant places to be done. The
.h;.c,ioas art not well grounded. On the
..oe GROUND objection might be raised be-
,-sB>e the paper and the type are not nanuiac-
.,,-.d At home. They might raise the same
os;eetion to the merchant because he does
-. manufacture the goods that he sells
..-,ss the counters of his store. They
.,;rbt raise the same objection to the black
,.,;,b because he does not make the iron
,bs, bs uses in his shop. Certainly no OBJ
,sc,;on can be urged 10 ths printing estab-
l;sbments that have binderies attached !;
manufacture their own paper; that man
ufscture type, or have constantly employed
snumber of men 10 stereotype the forms,
and in the cities there are newspaper men
who are connected with paper mills, type
souudrie and who employ ste-eotyPers
but there are few newspaper men who have
inclination. means and capacity for such
combination. The men that are constantly
manning up 10 raise an objection are wasting
their time and miSdirecting their zeal.
Hsd they lived in the days when printing
vas first discovered in Europe, they would
have condemned it, and stood among the
number that declared il as the work of old
Satan. Had they lived in the days when it
Was unclaimed that the world is round, OF
had they lived when the laws of gravity and
attraction were announced they would Just
IS zealousiy have pronounced against such
things Such things, tkey would argue,
had never been known before, therefore
they cannot be within the regular order
or fitness OF things. But such reasoning
z. that will not answer. The news
paper u,er who have branch Offices in
cities. or in places distant from the home
Office. or who have part of their newspa-
Der vork done in the cities, present their
readers with journals more cOmp.ete and IL
ried in all departments than the newspapers
priried in most country towns. For exam
tle, take the Democrat aud Register and the
Tribune Of this nice little country place
and compare them in all their points with
the Sentinel Gai Republican, and the great
difference as against them IS macifest at
drst sight. OF course such little guerrilla
sheets as the Nerc Era Herald is not 10 be
thought0f when such comparisons are made.
These are naked facts, and newspaper
men, who use auxiliary sheets, patent out
rides, or have city branch offices, are
conscious of the equally apparent fact that
If they were to resume the form of an all
country paper they would have to reduce
the amount of reading matter TO something
ike the amount furnished by The average
country paper. We congratulate the GiObe,
on its advancement in modern journalism.
4 NEW SPURIOUS COIS.-The most dan
gerous counterfeit OF the L. S. standard
silver dollar that has yet been manufactured
is now being showed in small quantities in
this community, and there is no telling how
long it will be until the ;owa is flooded with
the spurious coinage, as eyen the most care
fui experts have been deceived by their gen
eral appearance. In fact, il is almost a mat
ter Of impossibility to detect the bogus dol
lars by careful examination, as they have
the ring of the genuine metal, the milling is
perfect, and there is an absence of that
greasy substance which is found by running
the thumb over the general run OF base
coins. One Of these was presented at the
freight depot the other day to Mr.. Frank
Deckert, the agent, and be can hardly give
a reason why he conceived the idea Of
weighing it. He discovered that it was too
light, when balanced in the scales with one
ui the genuine sort, and upon making closer
observations ha also noticed that il was a
shade thicker. The gentleman who pre-
sented 1t was much surprised to learn that
It was spurious, and subsequently showed 1t
TO Mr.. II. j. Roberts, cashier of the / irst
National Bank, who unhesitatingly admit
TED that it was the best counterfeit of silver
com he has yet seen, and that it is calcula
ted to deceive even those who consider
themselves quick to detect the most perfect
imitations.-JoRasfolcn Tribune
