Paint John Roach's wreck on the
banners of 1873.

An exchange says: The publish
ers of the several local newspapers
in Indiana, Pa, have announced an
agreement that after October they
will issue no papers that are not
paid for in advance. 1t will be a
fortunate day for country newspa-
pers when all the publishers shall
unite in such practice. The long
credit system has for years been
abolished in every other business,
and only remains bane to the coun-
try press. Why they should not all
stand up IN honest competition and
do legitimate bushes on strictly
business principles is a mystery.
None Of them can purchase paper,
ink or groceries upon any such cred
it's as they extend to subscribers, and
if they could it would bankrupt
them.

The failure Saturday of John
Roach, the great ship builder, caus-
ed considerable excitement in bust
ness circles everywhere. Mr.. Roach
was born in Ireland, and is 20 years
old. From poor boy he became
one of the most extensive ship build
ers and founders in the world, with
millions invested, employing as high
as $500 men and paying out as high
as $4,000 week in wages. Mr..
Roach has had large contracts with
the government to whom he was
under heavy bonds, and the deci-
sion of the attorney general that the
government need not stand by its
contracts with Mr.. Roach, has been
the cause of his assignment, as there
are millions Of dollars invested, and
the failure of the government to
make its payments or a heavy law
suit, would have broken up Mr..
Roach eventually. Mr.. Roach's sus-
pension will be heavily felt in the
labor world. Mr.. Roach was strong
protectionist, and the free-trade ten
dency in the administration has
crushed him.

The Pall-Mall Gazette Scandal.

LONDON, July 49," An Old Roue''
writes to the PallM Gazette :
"The evil you have exposed is a
warning against roller skating. The
evil came with roller skating at the
Prince Club. Then for the first time
men about town were brought into
daily contact with beautiful children
not members eff their own families.
The little things, as in their limo.
cence, were too prodigal of their
smiles and glances. A passion
sprang up for children. The ruin of
these children themselves was not
the question, but progresses found
little East Enders to bear the curse
vigorously. Since then the trade
between the East and West Ends
has grown enormously.
Parents, risk not your children and
