If the SUNDAY TATTLER blew its horn as
often as it had an exclusive piece of inform
ation,i would be forever tuning up. Lest we
should make our boasts burdensome to our
readers, we refrain from self-praise. We
could not help chuckling with self-satisfac-
ton, however, when, on Friday, we read the
report of the High School commencement
exercises in the local dailies, to know that
the facts to which they gave column or
more of space had all been anticipated in
the TATTLER of last Sunday. 1t was but
one of the hundreds Of proof that the TAT
TIER has afforded of its alertness and en-
terpriss in securing the news that interests
the people of this county. Our readers
begin to realize that, if they would
know what is going on among them, and
just what weight to give to the sensa-
tional follies of our neighbors, they must
read the SUNDAY TATTLER. We feel fat
tered to know that the most discriminating
readers in the county never fail to. have
the TATTLER left at their houses afthem
every Sunday morning, and that, since we
began publishing, we have not lost ten of
the readers who have ever patronized us
for half dozen successive Sundays. We
have, of course, large clientage of read
ers who take US one Sunday, when there
is something of personal interest to them
in the paper, and not the next, when the
matter that drew them to US is not referred
to. But we have solid basis of 5000 to
5000 readers, who could not pass their
Sunday comfortably without reading our
columns. Singularly enough our floating
patronage does not vary 200 from $500
any Sunday morning. Between the two
the TATTLERs average circulation is creep
ing close to the 5000 limit. 1t is all be-
cause our news is fresh and interesting
and reliable, and that we have all of 1.-THE
general, by telegraph, as well as the local
from the pens of score of industrious
reporters.

In the annual report of the County
Board of Health, transmitted to this office
by Clerk Cornelius J. Rooney, are tables
affording opportunity for comparison be-
tween the health of this and other cities
In the world. The death-rate per thousand
inhabitants here for II years has been
1856. The death rate of the seven cities in
the country concerning which figures are
quoted, is about the same except in st
Louis, where it is 1877, and in Baltimore
where it is 1876. Of the foreign cities Ed
inburgh seems to be the healthiest; and
in Marseilles, France, Barcelona, Spain,
and Odessa, in Russia, the rate runs from
33 to 38 per thousand. Auckland, New
Zealand, showed up last year only about
II corpses to every thousand living people.
Jersey City compares favorably, however
with the general run Of Che cities on the
score of healthfulness.

The Republican papere are growing
themselves hoarse over the Democratic
''steals' in Congress. So far as the ''steals"
are concerned they are all right-the
papers, We mean, not the ''steals'; but it is
iAproper to call them Democratic thefts.
They are the same rascalities that were
introduced years ago when the Republi-
cans were in power, which were passed
then by Democratic aid, just as now they
are passed by Republican aid. Let the
frauds be exposed, but by all means tell
the truth about them if you want reforma-
ton.

SUNDAY. JUNE 81. 1886.

The intrinsic merit of their struggle
against the World will doubtless bring
victory to the newsdealers. The life of
newsdealer at the best is stern one, and
the little profits he reaps but lily pay him
for the sacrifices he has to make. He has
to turn out of his bed at one or two a. m,
go to New York for his papers. carry great
bundles on his back over long routes,
through snow and sleet and rain, in melting
and freezing weather. Three years ago for
the half cent profit he carried and deliver
ed an eight page paper. When the size
of the paper was doubled into 16 pages
each paper he handled became two, except
in profit, and fifty of them became as bur-
other page sheet was added, and each
World became as bulky as three, but there
was no additional margin Of profit allowed.
Last Sunday morning fourth eight page
sheet was put on his back to carry around
gratis. So that now instead of delivering
one World for half cent he is expected to
deliver four Worlds for the profit of one.
The load has become so unweildy that no
newsdealer can bear it alone One man has
been forced to get wagon to do his carry
ing for him; others have to pay men to
assist them. The newsdealers say with
convincing truth, that as the three added
eight page sheets are filed with advertise
ments that turn in money to the Worlds
proprietors, and that as part of the con-
sideration the World offers the advertisers
is the wide distribution the newsrsen give
to their advertisements, they should share
more largely in the profits. The Verdi
would get no advertisements to print if the
newsmen did not distribute them; and as
the distribution is quite as essential part
OF the Worlds contracts with its advertisers
as the printing is, the World should at least
allow for the extra cost of distribution.
Plainly, there is no reason under the sun
why they shouldn't! The best sentiment
of our people will help them to convince
the World that there is no reasen under the
sun why they shouldn't. In these days of
clamor for shorter hours and lighter labor
for the woikingman, no workingman will
see the already unfair burdens of the
newsmen piled higher and higher on their
shoulders without protest. The business
management of the World is more heady
and foolish, than we believe it to be if it
does not before lone concede to the news
dealers the little extra recompense they in
sist On having. If she doesn't she will
probably suffer the mournful fate of the
Herald.

The Democratic Editorial Association
gives indication of having been just what,
from the character of some of the leaders
in the movement, We supposed it would be.
It's object seems to be to make somebody
come down. One little sheet, published in
some unconspicuous place, and having bat
a little handful of readers, can't be pre-
sumed to have influence enough to. compel
a candidate for gubernatorial or other cen
spicuous honors to go down in his pockets
for its owner; but when ten or fifteen or
twenty are associated in the attempt to
''bleed, they might be able to accomplish
mething-that seems to be the central
idea of the so-called Democratic Editorial
Association. Cook, who helps Bob Bruce
edit the Elizabeth Herald, gave the whole
thing away when he said that it is not un-
usual for public man to snap his fingers,
after election, at the editor who had used
his sheet. and thereby his capital and
money to help him during election. The
reference to money shows what was upper
most in Mr.. Cooks mind, at least. The fact
that Mr.. Cook, who once allowed Andy ALL
bright to subsidize his sheet, and who now
runs it with the Singer Sewing Machine
Compar Us money, said it, with the ap-
prevail of the other members of the Asso-
citation, shows that it is Doodle they are
after There is strength in union move
movement, even for money, they think, and
SO they have concluded to rally in numbers
for the assault on the bari. If they could
have deluded the whole Democratic press
of the State into joining the movement, two
or three of the foremost strikers would
probably have got all the gelt, :"
and left their fellow editors to do
all the work. AS it is, the associated
papers, outside of that of Major
Yard, who seems not to have taken in the
secret design of the combination, do not
represent probably / 900 readers altogether.
AS they can do but little harm, their gains
will not be worth dividing, for, as rule,
public men seek the favor of those papers
only that can dothem some injury.
