A CONTEMPORARY observes that soon
alter tho death Of President Garfield the
White House at Washington was crowded
with wOrkmon who were engaged in the
Wholesale reconstruction of the interior.
The drainage was bad, the walls dingy,
the furniture decrepid so, for many weeks
President Arthur found refuge in the
house Of senator on Capitol Hill. At
last the repairs and refurnishing were
completed, and only a little while before
Congress met the president became domi-
ciled in his proper residence. Hardly have
the very large bills of last year been paid
before we are again told that the "White
House is being thoroughly renovated and
repaired" even to Improvement to its
drainage" which was last year the one
thing on which the most time and money
was expended. II the White House is to
be thoroughly renovated every few months
it will soon become as expensive, if not
wholly as useless, as one of our IRON clad
vessels. With proper management, and
an absence of jobbery, there is no need of
these constant repairs at tho White House.
This particular leak in the national treas.
ury, compared with many others, may be
. small one, but it is nevertheless one
which should be stopped.

The Local Paper.

An exchange quotes the benefits
of the local paper in the following
terse aud truthful language:
The columns of a paper are the
publishers stock in trade, and the
parties who ask us them for their
special benefit must expect To pay
for the same, and we hope that all
parties will, after due consideration,
view the matter in the proper light.
Every public spirited citizen of II
place should have pride in seeing his
own town and the surrounding
country improve. Every new house
or barn in the surrounding country:
every new road fence, or shade
tree; every new manufacturing cS-
adjustment erected; every new bus
mess opened, enhances the value of
property in our midst. Every hon.
est, rejecting mind knows this to
be true, aud VOW should not forget
that the local newspaper adds much
to the general wealth and prospect.
~ of the place, rs well as increases
tue reputation oi the town abroad.
1t benefits all who have business in
the place, enhances the value of

convenience, even if not conducted
in the interest of the ruling political
power. If its columns are not filled
with brilliant editorials, still it ben
efits you IN many ways. 1t increas
es trade, it cautions against imposi-
ton, it saves you from loss, it points
out different advantages and in
creases your profits. Now, it you
want such a paper you must sup.
port it by advertising your business
in 1t; assist in increasing its circula
tion BY getting your ueighbors to
subscribe with you for it. If YOU
want such paper you must not
