Receiver wilkinson of the Newark Sayings In

the Government for called bonds and had been al
lowed to remain with the firm for reinvestment.
The bank received interest on the cash deposits

Mr.. Dodd said that if Fisk & Hatch should resume
the bank would be all right, but it would not affect
the action of the Chancellor. or change hs purpose
of winding up the bank. In Mr. Doids opinion
there could be no very considerable loss to deposit

THE IRISH TACTICS.

The Tory decision to reject the Franchise Bill is
considered to explain the Parnellite trick in the
division on the vote of censure. Mr. Parnell being
convinced that he has more to expect from the
Tories than from the Liberals is delighted to aid in
the overthrow of Mr.. Gladstones Ministry, when
the Ministry has nothing more to offer The Par
pelltes will now actively cooperate with the
Tories, Lord Randolph Churchill serving as inter-
mediary.

Country Journalism.

Mr.. George II. Watkins, for the past ten
years editor and proprietor of the Oxford Dem
ocrat and who we are glad to learn, has recon-
>idered his intention of leaving journalism to
engage in other business. addresses "a Word
PERSONAL to his readers in 4 recent issue of the
Democrat in which he sets forth some Of the
difficulties which beset the path of the country
publisher. Mr. Watkins finds that there is now
due him, for subscriptions, ETC., a sum larger
than be paid for the establishment ten years
ago. In other words, his capital has been
wholly absorbed by accounts which are now
due and overdue. This is probably the exper-
fence of a majority of country newspaper pub
fishers, and ii is matter which demands hero
ic treatment. Few. however, like to weed out
their lists of non-paying subscribers; but this
should be done in justice to those who do pay,
and it is moreover in accord with proper bust
ness methods. Mr.. Watkins says truly that at
costs more to make an acceptable paper than it
cost ten years ago" With the lower prices of
white paper now prevailing, but which must
soon advance. the running expenses of the
journal are fully twenty-five per cent. greater
Z
used and more money invested in material and
machinery. With few exceptions we believe
this 10 be true Of all the Maine papers, many of
them having enlarged and made other eXpen-
Siye improvements within the past few years.
1t is impossible for the local papers to compete
in price with the weekly editions of city dailies,
whose matter is transferred from the daily. so
that their only expense is for white paper-and
that is usually not white. 1t is equally impos-
sible for the city weekly to compete with the
country weekly i'll giving the news of its local

as an exponent and advocate of local interests.

ties for doing business are to crowd the coun-
try papers out Of existence. local interests will

The oxford Democrat under Mr. Watkins
management has been clean. able and enter
tanning. Much space has been given to local
history AS well as to the local news, and yet,
with eight thousand voters in the county, the
Democrat has not attained circulation of two
thousand. 1t is certainly deserving. AS are
most of our Maine weeklies, Of more liberal
patronage and although the Journal has little
cause for complaint, it speaks for itself as well

Another Crippled Cause.

1t is generally admitted that the part st. John
and his deluded followers took in the recent
campaign has set back the cause of temperance
twenty years; aud in view of the action of the
w. c. T. u. the cause of woman suffrage must
also suffer. The Union decided at their Ma
tlonal Convention to support st. John, and
their influence was used in securing votes for
that Democratic side-show. These women
called it standing up for principle, and no
doubt thought their attitude was heroic. pat
rOtic and commendable. 1t is another Illus
tration of ''ddn't know it was loaded" The
ST. John gun laid low the Republican party,
the party of temperance and the only party in
this country that has ever done anything for
the cause, and opened the way to the White
| House for the party of free rum, the party of
the saloon-keepers, brewers and iistiers. If
this is an illustration of the political sagacity OF
woman-kind, there certainly will be as little
disposition TO give them the ballot as there
would be to give the right of suffrage to babes
in arms. Politics in this everyday world are
too practical we fear for the women vino cleo
tioneered for ST. John in the recent campaign
and surely they have little cause for pride in
the part they played, or for congratulaton on
what they accomplished.
