The Democrat last Monday, put in a
bid to do the County Printing for ten
cents per square, or one tenth the com
pensaIion allowed by law. Had the
contract been allowed him, he would
have lost money on the work as one
tenth legal rates would not have paid
the expense Of doing the service. But
Editor Covington really did not expect
the printing 10 be awarded him as he
has frequently so stated so to lay the
foundation for a little political bun
cOmbe, perhaps, he put in that sort OF
a proposition. In Iowa and many
places a newspaper must have been
published year, before it can bid on
public printing. That is not the law
here but the Commits sioners have dis
cretOnary power and have the right to
consider such questions. The Demo-
crat claims about l 200 subscribers,
but all experienced newspaper men
know it must be largely a ''padded Iist'' /:
that is. half or two thirds are probably
complimentary. 1t takes several years
to put a newspaper on to a solid basis,
and to get even a thousand oone-fde
paying subscribers.

The publication OF the Democrat iu Phillips
burg seems 10 lrrll.te tue editor of the HERALD
To "a considerable extent, iua-mucl nearly
every Issue OF that paper contains "a notice that
this paper has sold Out and that iL would NOV
cd away or that We would ego under. ' We will
venture the assertion llut the Democrat will be
alive aud published ll Fullpsburg Ions after the
HERALD passes out of gNlslguCe--DemJcrat.
The above contains several un-uuths
When Boyd sold his interest in the
Democrat we mentioned il; also when
Taylor sold, also when Covingtou an
nounccd his REIMBURSEMENT of editorial
management, but the Democrat s state
ment that IN almost every issue OF the

that the Democrat had sold out, or

false as regular readers of the HERALD

Receatly the Kirwin Independent
spoke some congraulatory words of
the HERALD and wound up by saying
that Phillips County hus now three
and-monopoly papers" The Dem
ocrat OF this place copied last week
what the Independent said, and sneers
at US, as though it were q dishonorable
thing TO be opposed 10 monopoly. Ac-
cording TO Webster, q monOpolist is
zone who obtains possession of the
whole Of commodity, or goods, in
market, with q view TO control the ex-
elusive sale Of such goods. ~ Obtain
ing by lawful ar other means the sole
power OF dealing in certain goods; To
gam an advantage TO control the power
to deal. The Democrat prints the In
dependents statement that the Herald
is an and-monopoly paper, with appar-
ent glee. Well, the HERALD acknowl
edges it is an anti-monopoly paper,
and is sorry if there are only three pap
ers in this county opposed TO monopoly.
The Democrat as the only journal in
the county that, by ats own statement
in the matter alluded TO, has declared
itself rs monopoly paper.

GIVE THEM A CHANCE

That is to say, your lungs. Also
all your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery il Is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thous-
ands of little tubes and cavities lead
ing from them
When these are clOgged and choked
with matter which ought not 10 be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they can
not do we'll.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneum-
onia, cataTrh. consumption or any of
the family of throat and nose and
head and lung distractions, all are
bad. All ought 10 be got rid of. That
is TO take Boschee's German Syrup,
which any druggist will sell you at -
cents a bottle. Even if everything
else has failed YOU, you may depend
upon this for certain.

Tde Independent NJ KIrwIn put IN
"a bid proposing to do the County print
ing at 10 cents per square and the Free
man at Logan nj ten cents per square.
Neither OF them we presume had any
idea OF getting the work, as they are
not Mt the county seat, and did not pro-
pose to move their printing offices to
Pnillipsburg. There would be Just as
good reason for allowing the County
Treasurer, Clerk, or any other County
officer to keep his office in Logan or
Kirwin, as 10 allow the County Printer
or Official paper to keep their offices
there The views of the members of
the Board, are sound, that the official
paper shall be at the County Seat.

WHAT AM TO DO?

The symptoms of biliousness are
unhappily but too we'll known.
They differ in different individuals
to some extent. A bilious man is
seldom q breakfast eater. Too
frequently, alas, he has an excel
lent appetite for liquids but none
for solids Of a morning. His ton
que will hardly bear inspection at
any time; it it is not white and fur
red, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly
out OF order and diarrhea or con-
stipation may be a symptom or the
two may alternate. There arc Of
ten Hemorrhoids or even loss OF
blood. There may be giddiness
aud often headache and aeidity OF
fiatulence and tenderness in the
pit Of the stomach. To correct ell
this If not effect 3 cure try Green's
August Flower, it cost but 3 trihs
and thousands attest its efRcacy.--

THE PENNIES

The New York sub-Treassry
contains at present more than
$500 700, and this sum, large
as il may appear, is only part Of
the national cash account. Calling
at one Of the Offices, reporter saw
a man Offering some oftbe old pos
tai currency for redemption. This
currency was issued during the war,
and as the latter closed twenty
three years ago, II was to be sup
posed it was all redeemed. The
clerk, however, informed him that
small amounts were constantly
brought in, but he added that
"sl5,OOO,0O0 are still out" Most
Of this, no doubt, got worn out or
destroyed and thus our govern
ment is a large gamer. The ex-
change Of cents for larger currency
is conducted at the same desk, and
while standing there he saw a man
bring a bag which contained ten
small bags. He said that each of
the latter held IS in cents. The
man took his $50 in currency. and
in a few moments another man
came up and said; 81 want s25 in
cents" He handed over his cur.
rency, and as he departed he said
they were wanted by a bank. This
exchange is constantly going on,
averaging $4,000 a day. The
banks, for instance, never receive
any cents, or, indeed, any other
small coin from depositors. They
are, however, constantly paying 1t
out as required by checks, and con-
sequently they send for it to the
sub-treasury, which is supplied by
the railroads and saloons. The
Broadway Railroad and the Third
Avenue Road each averages a sur
plus Of cents and other small coin
of $500 day, and they exchange
il in the above mentioned manner.
Mail and Express.
