the same paper for fifty cents.
1t must have occurred even to the
casual reader that there is need of ex-
PLANTATION as to how the Caledonian can
furnish a city weekly cheaper than a
news agent who is supposed to be the
accredited middle-man between the
publisher and the readerf 1t is proba-
bly, this way: On every city weekly

Office holders, office seekers, large
manufacturers, ETC., who want their
business protected" and are made to
believe that to this end an almost free
circulation of city papers is important.
1t should be unnecessary to say more
of this matter. The moral is obvious.
The CaledOnian believes this whole

NOTE AND COMMENT.

London is still agitated because the
Whitechapel murderer is at large and
the police arrest individuals of every
class in the vain hopes of finding the
fiend. Last Friday the Methodist
Times apologized to it's readers for an
insufficient report of certain teachers
meeting, on the ground that its re-
porter, sent to attend the proceedings,
was twice arrested as the Whitechapel
murderer, and did not get there.
A 2OO-ton gun is being built at the
Woolwich arsenal whose projectile will
weigh two tons and can cover a radius
of Is miles. This leads London cor
respondent to remark that if things go
on at this rate there seems to be no
particular reason why London and
Paris should not lombard each other
direct by fitting the noses of their guns
sufficiently into the air.
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austro-
Hungary celebrated the 10th anniver-
sary of his reign Monday in Il COM

About Club Papers.

BY reference TO a list published at the head of
these columns it will be seen that subscribers to
tbe CaledOnian can obtain other papers in connec
ton with it at greatly reduced rates.
Subscribers to the Caledonian should under
stand that this clubbing arrangement is simply
and solely for their benefit and that it is of pc
cuniary advantage the publishers of this paper,
but on the contrary entails great amount of
exacting labor at a season of the year when pub
Ishers are especially busy. AS matter of con
venience and accommodation to subscribers we
have assumed this extra labor and not because
believe in the scheme or because there is any
money in it.
As a matter of fact we believe this whole bust
ness of encouraging the introduction of city papers
into the country by putting a merely nominal
price upon them damage to the country press
and a wrong educator of the people 1t cheapens
the newspaper business and leads the public to
think that paper that little is worth little.
This scheme is cOncOeted by Carroll ). Page of
the republican state committee, for what purpose
does appear but the state press has ''tumbled"
to it with amazing alacrity.
