Sound Sense About the Newspaper
Business.

Perhaps the worst popular fallacy
with regard to newspapers is that gen.
orally entertained, that newspapers
ought to be printed and published in
the interest of the community-par-
ticularly the INDECENT portion of
the community. The churches, asy-
lums and all sorts of charitable enter
prises, run to the newspapers for gra-
tuities, just as child runs to its
mother for help. Politicians, Office
seekers and "scallawags" generally
count on the unpaid support of papers.
Now, newspaper; to be worth any
thing as business enterprise, should
be printed in the interest of its pro-
prietor just as much as d merchant
should run his business in his own in
terest alone. This popular fallacy has
been largely bred by the establish
ment of party and personal organs
that live 10y begging for support, and
other newspaper mendicancy. Anoth-
er very common fallacy that has pos
session of the average mind is that an
advertisement of ones wants and
business inserted in newspaper, is
patronage in sort of generous sense.
The fact is that the publisher of
first class newspaper usually charges
less than the cost of the white paper
covered for the insertion of an adver-
tisement. So, if there is any patron
age in the transaction, it is on the
part of the publisher. A stranger
up paper from an unknown
city, judges of its business and gener-
al reputation for enterprise more by
the advertisements than by the edito-
rails.

Cen. Hancock Dead.

General W. S. Hancock died sud-
denly on Tuesday afternoon. The
news of his death was all the more
startling from the fact but few of his
intimate friends had any knowledge
that his illness was considered serious.
As late as Saturday last, he was in his
private Office, attending TO his official
duties. When he went to Washington
two weeks ago, slight eruption on
his neck near the base of the brain
gave him some uneasiness, and the
inflammation increased so rapidly that
on Friday, January 20. he had it lane
ed. The eruption continued to dis
charge freely and the loss of blood
was such as to make very percepti-
BILE difference in the Generals usual
robust appearance. Immediately after
his return to Governors Island, week
ago, he sent for DR.. John H. Janeway
who soon perceived signs of car
buncle. The next day it appeared
and gradually grew worse, when de-
cidedly unfayorable symptoms set in,
accompanied by delirium. The malady
had touched the brain and there
appeared good ground for the opinion
that his days were numbered. The
General cheerfully assisted his physi-
clans by complying strictly with their
directions. Although his condition was
alarming his pulse was regular and he
rested easily up to Monday evening.
Between 4 and 5 o'clock Tuesday
morning the General became uneasy.
Physicians were Immediately called
and held a consultation to the effect
that the General was rapidly sinking
from exhaustion, caused by the loss
of vitality, incident to powerful drain
upon his constitution, made by car
buncle combinations and exaggerated
by chronic diabetes. The General
soon fell into what appeared to be a
quiet slumber. Daniel, his young
colored servant, some military gentle
men and the physicians were in the
room watching and waiting when at
z minutes before 8, the final sum-
mons came, and the great commander
passed away. The General was in
his CID year.

The difference between the "Bland
silver dollar and the &c Green Back"
dollar is this: The paper dollar is
promise to pay one dollar, or one
hundred cents in full, and you can get
that amount for it in pure silver at
the refiners or at the bankers-it is
always good for the one hundred cents
in good gold. The Bland dollar is
fraudulently made the payment itself
in ordinary business transactions, but
you can't get one dollars worth of
pure silver at the refners, only 1915
cents worth, nor can you sell 1t, IN
quantity for more at the brokers. As
long as the poor man spends tas fast
as he gets it he nominally gets its
fraud value, but if he lays it up for a
rainy day and wishes to change it
subsequently for gold he will be a
loser to the amount of the discount.
This is one reason why we oppose the
issue of any more of them.

tried for burglary. The wife had en-
tered a neighbours house through
window and stolen money, which she
gave her husband. The court decided
that husband and wife could not be
jointly convicted of crime short of
capital offence, because the law pre-
sumes that the wife is acting under
the influence or compulsion of the
husband, and so sentenced the man,
but discharged the woman.
