tF Every patron Of a newspaper should
stop for 9 few moments TO think Of and real
ize the fact that the paper he Is reading must
be paid for in advance by someone-generaily
the publisher. The labor and materials used
are securad only by cash. No one likes TO
work hard and receive no compensation for
the time and labor expended. II Is true the
amount Of Indebtedness may be small, and of
itself Of no particular consequence, but a
Publishers income-if he has any-is re-
ceived in small amounts. Take common
sense view of the matter. No seaside man
should get angry because a newspaper man
duns him for an honest debt. A dun is not
an impeachment of a patrons integrity, but
simply necessity on the part of the publish
er to carry on his business. A patron may
not always be able to pay his publishers bill
promptly when called on; but IL he is an
honest, reasonable man, he will try to pay
part of the bill at least, or advise the pub
Usher why he is not able to meet his just obli-
cations. The man who pays no attention to
the presentation of an honest bill, who seeks
to evade its payment by telling how many
other people he owes, or fatty denies the ac-
count, is little less than dead beat, and
should be treated as such by every honest man
in the community. A man may be too poor
to pay his debts-that's a misfortune but he
needn't be dishonest and mean toward the
men who have trusted him, il he Is poor.-Er.

where Ther Stand.

The two great political parties of the day
stand before the people Of Ohio prominently
upon the liquor question.
Gov. Hoadly, as champion Of the Demo-
cratic party, is outspoken in favor OF IL
cense system, which is advocated by the
Democratic platform, and which also favors
a constitutional amendment to that effect.
Mr.. Foraker, the Republican nominee for
Governor, says he is ''neither for nor against
prohibition, I" butt in favor of a tax, which
is also advocated by the Republican platform.
The position taken by the Democrats is in
the interest of constitutional government and
the rights of citizens of the State. Its pro-
position is practicable, and is one, if put in
force, that will lawfully bring revenue to the
State and result in controlling many of the
evils resulting from intoxicating liquors.
On the other hand, the Republicans are still
crying for tax, something which is strictly
prohibited by the constitution. A tax we
have had, the Pond and Scott laws, both of
which were promptly declared unconstitu-
tional by the highest court of the State.
They are advocating proposition whlch Is
in plain violation of the State constitution,
and in so doing brand themselves set of ig-
noramuses, arrant knaves, or unscrupulous
demagogues.
The position of the Republicans is ridicu-
lous, and is assumed to deceive the people.
This game the Republicans have played once
too often, and the voters of the State have
been placed upon their guard. They under
stand the question more thoroughly to-day
than they ever did before, and have come to
the conclusion that the license system is the
best way to regulate the liquor traffic, and
that a constitutional amendment to that eff
feet should be presented to the people to be
voted upon. This is the Democratic idea.
It is right, Just, and will win.

How the Republicans Expect to Cap
ture the legislature.

The Republicans are becoming desperate
and are sending out secret circulars by the
hundreds, urging up the faithful and crying
for Doodle to corrupt voters. The following
shameful circular has been sent out to all the
counties, the one this was taken from being
one sent to Hardin county. 1t is disgrace
full proceeding and will receive its just re-
buke by honest people at the polls this fall:
"DEAR SIR: We must carry Ohio this fall
by all means. The fight will undoubtedly be
q hard one, and therefore every Republican
must assiduously use his influence in behalf
Of the party. We understand that you have
considerable influence among the laboring
element of your neighborhood, and we ex-
pect to win this fall by paying exclusive at
tention to the rural vote we hope you will
not lose any time but begin working at once.
Pay especial attention to the ignorant and
uneducated persons in your neighborhood, as
they are more easily influenced, and can be
made to believe good many things which
the better educated cannot. Hardin county
is dangerously close, and we must make every
possible effort to carry it. Every represen-
tative we succeed in electing is onemore vote
for John Sherman. We cannot afford to lose
our Senatorial representation from Ohio, for
that would make Ohio Democratic State. !"

WillResult in Good.

The Albany Journal lets the cat out of the
bag why the Republicans are stirred to the
depths by the removal of SO many fourth-class
postmasters since Mr.. Stevenson has taken
the First Assistants desk. It says, speaking
of the New York canvass:
sThe bulk of the Republican vote is cast in
rural counties, where voters are somewhat
scattered, We have already dwelt upon the
special obstacles In the way of Republican
organization this year, Otoing to the changes
in so many of the fourth-clGss postoDices, and
other causes incident to Democratic Nat
ional administration.
This is an admission that the removals
which the administration has been making
in the postofices on the the ground of 1soffen-
sive partisanship" have been justiiable, 50
far as New York is concerned. And the same
facts exist in Ohio and every other State. It
is notorious that under Republican rule the
minor postoffices Of the land constituted q
political machine of tremendous power.
They advertised and in every way aided the
circulation Of Republican newspapers and
campaign documents, and Disseminated in
every way against Democratic journals and
documents. It was q common practice in
many country postofiices to enclose Repub-
ican campaign documents in the folds Of
Democratic papers. Every fourth-class post
master who engaged in this and kindred bu-
siness should be shot ont Of his place as quick
as the motive power can be applied. In fact,
every place now held by Republican, under
q Democratic President, should be given to a
Democrat. This is what the people expect
and demand. And in order that President
CleveIand's hands may be united the bogus
civil service law should be repealed at once. \

tB- Scarcely day passes without some
story getting into print telling how the shar-
pers have carried of some farmers savings
BY playing on his credulity and cupidity to-
gether. A very sensible plan for oldmen and
young ones, too, is to avoid the ridiculous
idea that any stranger will voluntarily bring
them some frst-rate opportunity to make q
handsome turn. If there is such an oppor-
tunity man will either take it himself or
give it to an old acquaintance.
