Offering Premiums.

We could never understand the advan-
tage of offering premiums for subscribers
to newspapers, or wherein the publishers
are profted. We have before us journal,
whose subscription price is one dollar per
year, which makes very liberal offers for
subscriptions For two subscribers andtw
dollars it proposes to give as premium a
book of the value of one dollar and half.
The subscribers, then, get their papers for
twenty-five cents each, which would not
paw the publishers for the blank paper
used. Another paper, among our exchanges,
offers premiums which amount to more than
the subscription, thereby actually paying
subscribers for taking the paper. In other
words, the man who pays one dollar will
get the paper one year and a premium
worth much more than dollar.
These instances are but two of the many
that come under our notice, for just at this
season of the year many journals through
out the country are making special efforts
to increase their circulations by offering
premiums for subscriptions.
1t may be a good plan, and a money
making scheme for publishers, but we fail
to see where the profit is No publisher
should ask more for his paper than fair
profit upon cost of production. If he asks
one dollar for his paper, and can afford to
give premium worth fifty cents, he then
gets but fifty cents for his journal. If he
can afford to send his paper out for fifty
cents year, why not do it, instead of using
column of space in advertising premiums
and entailing upon himself the trouble Of
purchasing and distributing premiums, 1t
occurs to US, and win so appear to every
one, that the publisher who proposes to
give premiums, either asks too much for
his paper, has money to throw away, or
the premiums are not worth their val
uations,
We never did like the system # boring
people for subscriptions, advertisements or
job work, pursued by 50 many publishers
4 paper ..h:.At is needed end is worthy Of
patronage win be sustained by the people
without alluring premiums and personal and
public solicitations, A journal that cannot
be sustained without such efforts Is not re-
garded as a necessity, and the publisher
win save money by disseminating Its publ
cation. An advertising agent Is as much
abhorred among business men as book
agent is by the general public. When one
enters his establishment he has feelings
similar to those of farmer when he sees
lightning rod agent drive up to his house

Trial Of euiteau.


The trial of Guiteau is progressing at
Washington. The prosecution by mum
Der Of witness proved the shooting of
President Garfield BY Guiteau, and proved
BY the Presidents physicians that the
wound was necessarily fatal The PrOsecu-
ton rested its case, and the defence began
lis testimony, all of which is intended to
prove the insanity of the accused, the only
plea set up in his behalf
Owing to disagreement Of the counsel
for the defence, Mr. Robinson has with
drawn from the case, and Mr.. Scoville Is
conducting it alone. His opening statement
declared that he was not criminal lawyer,
and that he had not had a criminal case for
twenty years. He made strong and
powerful speech, however, and in several
tits with District Attorney COrkhill reeeiv-
ed the applause of the spectators for his
complete discontinue of that gentleman.
II is probable that the case viii last some
DAYS longer.

The ''Pink-eye" Disease.

The Baltimore San, in reply Ia CORES.
pendent who propounds some questions about
the ''pinkeye' disease, sayS-lhe disease
has two forms, the typhus and rheumatic.
The typhus-the first symptom dizziness with
loss Of appetite, watery discharge from the
eyes, the mucous membrane lining the eve
very much inhamed and of yellowish cast
Pulse weak, from so 20 90. Temperature los
10 1O6. At first the bowels are constipated.
From p to As hours purging takes place, the
pulse becomes stronger and the temperature
falls gradually TO the normal point.
Observation-Disclosures potash in one-ounce
doses night and morning until the fever has
subsidized. The horses viii rarely eat any grain;
feed them hay well moistened, apples, carrots,
grass, or in fact anything they viii eat The
after treatment consists of liberal food and
toIieS.
The rheumatic form Of the disease the first
symptom varies. Sometimes the horse is lame
in one or two legs for twenty-four hours before
he stops eating. Again he becomes stiff dur
ing the night, all the legs swell up, and it is
with difficulty he moves about; loss of appe
tite. very thirsty, pulse very weak, from 60 to
80; temperature from 100 to 1903.
Observation-Disclosures potash in one-ounce
doses night and morning in water. Halfonnce
doses three times per day of Fowler solution
of arsenic. Walking exercises as soon as able
The potash should be discontinued as soon as
the fever subsidies. The legs may be rubbed
with some stimulating embrocation.
Again you have a mixture of the two types
combined. This is the form that generally
proves fatal. The symptoms you have in this
not spoken of in the others: Partial or total
blindness, pulse imperceptible, the brain is
affected, horses win brace themselves with
their heads against the wall, they stand with
great difficulty, the least excitement will throw
them in a spasm. Turn them loose in box
stall and do not excite them in any way.
Testment the same as the others. The solu-
ton of arsenic being dangerous poison, care
should be exercised by having properly mark
ed and kept under lock and key.

Political Notes.

The official returns of the Mississippi
election give Lowry, Democratic candidate
for Governor, majority of 24,893. The
full Republican vote was only 40,701.
Henry J. Spooner (republican) was on
Tuesday elected Representative in Con
gress from Rhode Island, in place of Mr..
Aldrich, elected United States Senator.
Aleck Stephens says if he lives the
country will hear from him on the tariff
question. He still belongs to the Henry
Clay school, but does not have extreme
protection views
New York State majorities are given as
follows for the Republican candidates =
For Carr, IL ,255; for Davenport, 1870;
for Russell, II $40; for Seymour, $3.50
for Finch, 7,271 for Maxwell Dem. for
State Treasurer, 21,727.
The Kennebec Journal, of Augusta,
Maine, says it is authorized to state that
Mr.. Blaine will not be a candidate for Con-
gresham, Governor or L. S. Senator, but
when he retires from the Cabinet, early
next month, he will devote himself entirely
to his private affairs.
1t is now announced that Postmaster
General James is to be the Blaine or Half
breed candidate for Governor in New York,
and that Blaine will make test battle in
that State next year to overthrow the
Arthur Conkling Stalwart rule. James
may be nominated as the Blaine candidate
but James wouldn't be elected in that sort

John Hunter, tax-receiver Of Phils-
adelphia, elected on the " citizens > ticket,
called together the committee of one
hundred, on "Wednesday, it is said, for the
purpose of disclosing startling frauds
which he had discovered in the accounts Of
some of his predecessors. After consult
ing counsel, however, he changed his mind,
and concluded to give no information upon
the subject except 10 the legal authorities.

Meeting of Congress.


Congress viii meet on next Monday
week. The Republicans have partly cap
tured the Senate by the elevation of Davis
as president pro tenn, and it is probable
they viii have his aid, either by his direct
vote or his abstaining from voting, in max
ing their control supreme by one majority.
In the House there win be 146 Republi-
cans and 1877 Democrats. There will also
be two Readjuster Democrats from Vir-
ginia. who may confidently be relied upon
to vote with the Republicans. OF the
eight greenbaekers four are Republicans
three are Democrats and enc waiting for
the highest bid. The Republicans, then,
with the aid of the Virginia Readjusters
viii have majority over all opposition,
and this situation win very likely draw to
their support the four Republican Green
hackers who will 20 in with them TO secure
as much patronage for themselves as posi-
bic. Thus again the Republicans viii have
full possession of the Goyernment-both
houses Of Congress and the President--and
win be entirely responsible for all legisla-
tion and all acts Of the administration. The
Democrats viii be strong enough in each
house of Congress, however, to prevent
hasty or dangerous Legislation, and no one
need be alarmed over the situation. Con
gressional elections viii be held again next
fall, and it i quite probable that the scales
win b.; turned in the House of Represen-
tativ.ss, and there is fine prospect Of a
change in the domination in the Senate.

The star.Route Investigation.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sus, saws The report Of 4.
NJ. Gibson. special attorney in the star
route investigation. to the Acting Attorney
General, has been made public. As may
be supposed. Mr. Gibson makes out pretty
strong case against Thomas J. Brady, late
Second Assistant Postmaster-t3eneral He
reviews the management of the contract
Office for a long series Of years, and shows
that the custom Of making extra allowances
for additional trips under expedited SEIZED
ules was scarcely known until Brady came
into Office Their WAS only one instance Of
expedited service during President Buch-
anans administration, and the contractor
in that case was George Cherpcnuing
There were Only six eases in 1872. and
seven cases during the fiscal years Of 1873
and 1876. During Brady's iirs, year there
were sixteen extra allowances, agLrcgaiing
1874 ,946, and bringing the pay Of the
contractors ON these routes up to s'ss2 400.
Mr. Gibson charges that after this Brady
deliberately advertised for star service on
schedules 50 contrived - 10 leave room for
increase Of pay BY means of allowances for
expedition, and violated the lesse. and the
spirit of the law in making additional
allowances, BY which a few contractors ~
ceived more than s., 500 600 year, there
being during Gen. Brsdy's administration
- orders made, which Mr. Gihsen alleges
were in violation Of law Aiter giving a
history Of the investigation and summing
mp the evidence, both dooupssntsry and
oral Mr.. Gilson gives Is his conviction
that in almost every ease the extra allow
anee for expedited service was : fraudently
oollusively and oqrruPtly obtained.

Declined to Investigate.

1t will be remembered that the Sentinel
during the recent campaign charge ''crook-
edness, more than Encouragement and
robbery against the Democratic County
Commissioners, and it will also be remem-
bered that the ADVOCATE, in the name OF
the Democratic party, twice challenged the
editorial writers of that journal to go before
the grand jury, prove their charges and
have the guilty punished. They have not
done so, and the grand jury, after nine
DAYS session, has been discharged. The
charges could not be sustained, hence their
failure to have them investigated. They
were made to mislead the public, and the
authors had no idea that they would be
asked for the proof of their assertions.
Similar charges have been made just before
county elections for years past, but at no
other times. The Sentinel silence on these
questions at other periods made people sus-
peet that they were groundless, and now,
since the editorial writer's of that journal
have declined to even attempt to prove
them, when challe ged twice to do 50, sus-
pieion will develop into a firm belief, which
future charges against Democratic mis-
management of county affairs, by the Sen
tiael, will fail to affect.
The authors Of the charges above alluded
to rot making their appearance, the Coun-
tyclerk and treasurer whowas summoned be-
fore the grand jury was examined on sew
eral allegations made by the Sentinel. As
no indictments against the present or former
County Commissioners were made, it is
safe to assume that the jury was satisfied
that the charges were fabrieations.
