ADVERTISING IN COUNTRY NEWS
PAPERS.

The leading newspapers of Baltimore and other
great commercial cities of our country, ever
keenly alive to their own individual interests as
also to that of their readers. This is legitimate
and argues favorably for the business sagacity of
those who conduct them. 1t is sometimes assert
ed that "selfprase is half scandal, whilst on the
other hand it is said that those who do not look
out for their own interests will never succeed. In
this view of the subject we find the very best,
most reliable, popular and widely circulated jour
mails of both city and country ready to speak of
their own merits when it is generally conceded
such merits really exist. 1t cannot be charged
that there is any over-stepping Of modesty in edi
tors and publishers letting their readers and bus
mess customers know from their own lips or pens
what advantages their journals really present to
persons wishing to avail of them as advertising
and literary or general everyday news mediums.
This is certainly both modest and fair; principle
Justly acknowledged all over the world. The
surest road to fortune and success is that which is
watched over most carefully by ones own self.
We tell many readers and the community
generally, free wholly from exaggeratiOn, that
OOH-NAA
highly valuable medium, in and through which
business men in all branches of trade in Baltimore
or elsewhere, can proftably make their wants and
needs known to the very best class of customers.
We assert it knowingly that THE UNION circulates
largely and generally in all parts of the county,
as also in adjoining counties, throughout Mary
land and in other States. 1t has-we gladly say
of hofh roI;tioaI no rites and claims he
respect of all. This alone makes it a very advan-
tageous medium wherein business men can salts
factorily make themselves and their desires known
county newspaper, devoted more exclusively
to home or domestic interests, becomes sort of
home institution and is always read with especial
attention and care, not excepting the advertise
ments and all else contained in its columns. To
be still emphatic its readers place in it GER
tain degree of confidence which makes them put
almost undoubting faith in what it says. They
frequently say to themselves, we'll wait and see
what our own home newspaper has to say. They
really-in many instanees-read or take no other
paper, depending their own to learn what they
most desire regarding both news and business
1t is, consequently, of great especial moment for
those in business-eity country-tO patronize
it, and that literally.
The present approaching Christmas holiday
season is an opportune one for merchants of Balti-
more and of the country to avail of our columns
to make their wants and business affairs widely
known. They cannot go amiss in doing so at all
seasons of the year. We, well on their account
as our own, ask them to give this matter serious
consideration. There is nothing like having an
eye to business as very many of our regular read
ers and advertisers have already realized.

ND-An item in the Sunday american on "Poli-
tics in the County Police Force" says "the Com
missioners say they will select the best men for
the places. One difficulty they find is that there
is no chief officer for the force of the Belt, but in
each district there is a head officer. Instead of
the men patroIling their beats, every Saturday
finds number of them in town loafng around
the offices and bar-rooms on Fayette and St. Paul
streets. 1t was suggested that chief should be
appointed, with his headquarters in central part
of the Belt, who could communicate with the sta
ton and engine houses by telephone" People of
the Belt have come to think of the police force
much the Same they do of Holloway's squirts,
viz, that both are unmitgated humbugs and
therefore a great and useless drain on the county
treasury. These branches of the pnblic service
certainly need reforming, and we hope, for the
credit of the county, that the present Board of
Commissioners will see the importance of doing
something to accomplish this end.

Messrs. Editors Last week you had some re-
marks about jurymen from the 18th district Well
| am like that inquirer, and for information ask,
can you tell how it is that Wilson Townsend gets
drawn on the jury for 1879, 1881, 1857 and 1855,
and nearly always serves as foreman of the Grand
Jury? or how David A. Kenney gets drawn twice
within one year (1SS2 to 1889? Are there SO few
citizens in the 18th district that these men must
be put on? There are other instances, but think
Townsend's and Kenney's so notorious as to
be entitled to front rank for check in somebody;

and what influence is used by these men to get

full in gaining converts in England that counter
movement has been begun againstthe poygamists.
The government has been appealed to to interfere,

means to win proselytes and those who follow
them do so willingly, particularly the young
women" He thinks that it is the hope of mater
