OFF DUTY.-The sale of the An
napolis Republican to State Senator
Moss, of Anne Arundel county, is
reported and the Advertiser, of the
same town is upon the market.
These are two fully equipped conn
try newspaper Offices and the pa
pers are old and established ones.
The reason, we presume, for the
sale is that the properties do not
pay. And yet brothers Brewer, of
the Advertiser, and Melvin, of the
Republican, are good editors and
practical newspaper men, and pub
lish live journals in what should
be an excellent field. Like many
other country editors, though these
gentlemen have labored hard for
years and laid by large stock of
glory, yet, unfortunately, it would
appear, they have not accumulated
a great amount of cash but have
had the knowledge forced upon
them that glory won't fatten them
or support family. We are forced
to this conclusion because when a
man once gets into the editorial
business he never gives it mp unless
death or his creditors compel him,
and "Once an editor always an edi-
tor has become an adage." We
sincerely hope, however, that our
Annapolis brothers have proven
exceptions to the rule and are not
retiring because they are obliged to
but because they have made enough
money to live on for the balance of
their lives. If it be as we hope we
trust our friends will take an early
opportunity of informing their
struggling brethren how it was
done.

INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTOR.
From the Baltimore Sunday Ners
we see that +. NJ. Cox, of the Port
Tobacco Times, is a candidate for
Internal Revenue Collector. Mr..
Cox was, we believe, in the collec-
tors office for short time with
Gen. a. G. Chapman and knows
all about running it. He 10 a good
man for the place. true and tried
Democrat and if the position goes
to Charles county we hope T. NJ.
Cox will get it. But st. Mary's
lays claim to the position, and We
are told that Col. J. NJ. Dent, of
the 9TH district, is asking for the
place. We do not known from Col.
Dent whether the report be true or
not, but we do know that there is
not in Maryland a truer Democrat,
a more agreeable gentleman or one
more competent to fill the Office
than J. Marshall Dent, of Oakley.
He was brave and gallant soldier
in war times and during peace he
has been model citizen and among
the truest of true Democrats.
