A BILE RECORD.

The Caledonian can fairly point
with pride" to its advertising col
umns. Not especially to the amount
of advertising-although considering
what class is refused this is very large
but more especially to the quality
and stability. OF the fourteen col
umns, more or less, of ads. each week,
only about one-half of a single col
umn is medical, the remainder being
live business advertisements. There
is not a dead line in the paper; not a
disfguring cut of any sort; no ''elec-
tros, top of column, next to reading
matter" leaving thelocal advertisers
to poorly printed small type in some
obscure corner; no reading notices
sandwiched in with news or COM
ment to cheat or disgust the reader;
no disguised whiskey or lottery ads,
gift enterprises or female pills to de-
ceive the credulous or ruin the simple
minded. In fact, nothing is designed
to be admitted into these columns
but legitimate business ads for which
a quid pro quo is offered for the read
er's money. The publishers of the
Caledonian believe that it is largely
what is kept out of newspaper, as
well as what is put in it, that deter
mines its character, including the adj
vertisements.
But whatever is thought about the
expediency or morality of editing the
advertising columns of a newspaper,
the CaledOnian has demonstrated
this one fact, that a country news
paper can be printed without cuts,
without medical or Objectionable ads
of any sort, and succeed; and this
too in the face of local and outside
competition that takes anything and
everything to "fi1l up with.
The reason for this success is not
far to seek. The main causes can be
summed briefly: a. Making a new
Spaper with conscientious fidelity to
facts and the truth about them, Civ
ing the news when fresh and in read
able shape. (2) Printing the paper
in a neat and readable manner, and
on paper that shows that the pub
Usher believes it worth preserving.
90 Making the advertisements at
tractive by tasteful type and skillful
arrangement, printing all so well
that ''he who runs may read" a.
Having a fair schedule of prices and
sticking to them, regardless of what
they say 1.-The other fellow" does.
This, in brief, is the Caledonian's
business creed and it does not take
shrewd business men, who wish to
reach the best class of readers, very
long to find out that such paper is
the one to advertise in.

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS.

Ten years ago, Topeka had about
a dozen churches and forty-seven
saloons Now it has forty-seven
churches and no saloons. Yet there
are men here so morally Oblique that
they want the saloons to take the
place of the churches again.-[Tope-
ka State Journal, Sept. 81.
Perhaps there has been no better
answer to the assertion of the liquor
interest, echoed by high-license tenn
perance men, that prohibition is a
failure in Kansas, than the above
brief statement published editorially
in the leading paper of the leading
city of the leading state of the West.

BAY STATE POLITICS.

The nomination of Bracket for
governor of Massachusetts, is bit
ter pill for the temperance wing of
the party, for his record shows that
when representing a Boston district
in the legislature, controlled by liquor
men, he uniformly voted in their in
terest. This is the man that temper
ance republicans of the old Bay State
are obliged to vote for or take as
theirs the epithet that Gov. Robin
son applied to them in his speech at
the convention when he called them
1.-The too Jealous reformers who
would stab us to death" 1t is of in
terest to know that temperance men
in Boston met Saturday and consid-
cred a bolt; but the few who will
kick over party traces will be more
than offset by the votes of liquor men
who know Bracket to be their man.
He will be elected, but nevertheless
Grape would have done more honor
to the state.

EVERYTHING FREE.

The Chicago socialists are going
even further than the board of educa-
ton, which asks for free text books
and free clothing for the children of
the poor, provided for by a general
tax. The socialists demand that
one good, warm square meal be sup
piled each day to all the school chill
dren in the city" This is Tannerism
on a rampage. If the public crib is
large enough and deep enough so
that everybody can dip in for books,
clothing and food, what is the nse of
all this daily sweat and toll just for
a little fuel? About everything else

THE WORCESTER FESTIVAL.

The musical festival held annually
in Worcester has become famous for
having at its gatherings the best So
10 artists, the choicest orchestra and
one of the most effective choruses to
be heard in this country. In several
particulars last weeks festival was
not up to the Standard yet the cho-
rus was magnificent, the orchestra
almost above criticism, and the solo
parts taken by such artists as D. M.
Babcock, Whitney Mockridge, Mr..
Parker, William Ludwig, Fred Har-
vey, Mrs. Moore-Lawson, Mrs Clara
Poole, Miss De We're, Miss Lillian
Smith, were rendered in the main
with good expression and general
acceptance. The piano playing by
Miss Adele Ohe, and the cello play
ing by Victor Herbert created great
enthusiasm in the audience. The solo
parts in the Creation" the closing
performance, were unsatisfactory IN
some respects. Nine. Van Anthem,
the soprano, was seriously i'll; Mr..
Babcock did his part finely, as he al
WAYS does. The audience missed
from the festival such artists as EN-
ma Juch, Thursby, Stone-Barton,
Carreno, Mary Howe, Hope Glenn and
others, but there was no discount on
the chorus, which was uplifting and

NEWS OF THE WEEK.

An accident occurred to the ST..
Louis express going west over the
New York Central about midnight
of Friday, near Palatine Bridge by
which five persons were killed and
many injured. This train is very
heavy and runs in two sections which
are supposed to keep ten minutes
apart. The engine of the forward
section blew out a cylinder head and
the engineer undertook to reach the
next station, but the speed was re-
duced so much that when the train
was finally stopped and the rear
brakeman sent back to flag the sec
Ond section it was so near a collision
was inevitable, and the third car of
first section was telescoped.
The most terrible part of the ac-
cident befell William H Manning and
his party. Mr.. Manning resided at
Marquette, Mich, and a few weeks
ago came East to Westport, N. Y,
where he married Miss Julia Davis, a
wealthy and beautiful young wlsn-
an. They had passed few week. of
their honeymoon in the East and
Friday started for their new home,
Wnere an elegantly Iurn1Sneu nome
awaited them Mr. Manning was
injured internally and was badly dis
figured about the face He was cut
out of his berth and moved forward
where he seemed to rest easily. The
physicians encouraged him, and his
eyes glistened with delight that he
was likely to come through alive.
He was removed to the hotel in Ca
najoharie where he died soon after
His wife took everything calmly.
She was carried to the berth next to
that of her husband, and clearly
stated her own condition, saying
81 am all right; look after Will. Z"
She was not all right, however, as
her head was injured and she was
otherwise hurt so that she died Sat
urday evening. She was not told of
her husbands death.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The public debt was decreased in
September $13 100000, against an
increase in August of $6,OOO,OOO.
1t is pleasant to see the scales tip in
that direction again.
President Harrison returned from
his summer vacation Friday and re-
moved 33 postmasters Saturday
whose term had not expired His
vacation seems to have put new Wig
or into the chief executive.
The Chicago Tribune thinks that
with nearly every congressman in
trusted with public building job, a
river and harbor steal ripening, a
navy in demand and "a pension roll
already exceeding what it costs to
maintain the two largest standing
armies of Europe, and sure to be
greatly increased" it will become
necessary to re-enact some of the old
war taxes The Tribune is not a
mugwump paper, but reliable repub-
lican. Itshould be labored with.
The Burlington Free Press takes a
little justifiable pride in it's success as
newspaper. In its issue of yester-
day II saws it's circulation was never
~ great as now; that every month
for years has shown a gain over the
same month of the previous wear. but
the months of August and Scptem-
Der of this year show a larger Percen-
tage of gain than any other month
of the year" 1t is evident that the
Free Press made no mistake when il
secured Mr.. & III. Walcott

saws that civil service reform is as
much republican doctrine as protec-
ton" while that thick-and-thin par
tisan sheet, the New York Tribune,
says: IF the republican party is not
thoroughly committed to civil service
reform in its widest possible applica-
ton, then words have lost their
meaning"
These recent republican utterances
from reliable" sources go to show
that the world do move" and that
the CALIFORNIAN was only little way
ahead of the procession.
