The GAZETTE, situated as it is SO

PATCHES from every part Ct the
world; hence its patrons can read
from its columns in the evening
what has transpired that day in ev-

well as from every part of the hab.

an everyday occurrence for the
GAZETTE to publish kilograms from

the morning papers.
Correspondence from Washing

the State is published regularly,
and all events of interest occurring

The local department furnishes
full and complete history of every
thing that occurs in and near the

receive careful attention.
Another feature that serves to
make the GAZETTE a great desider-

great centres of the country.

An analysis of the bal'ot shows that

but 234 votes out of 469, the other 255 dele

Nomination. The remainder of the Presi-

started with 395 votes of persons Pc

Had Mr.. Blaine been nominated it

olist C ring and pave the way for a con-
siderable reform in the tariff direction.
1t would have been a kind of Esau / Ike

have secured to the party on its death

Here's a Chance for Reform

If Colonel Wanser wants to effect
an economy and a reform. why does
he not take up the case of the German
handful known as the Stats Zeitung
and printed by one Schlesinger for
the sake of the money to be extorted
from the city?
On a moderate calculation, we
should say this wretched sheet draws
some $1,000 from the city treasury
every year. 1t gives the public aoso-
lutely no return whatever. 1t has no
circulation, NO influence, no standing.
1t is not read by Germans any o
than by English speaking persons,
and, If the city's patronage were with
drawn, it would not last n week,
since it has no legitimate source of
income whatever.
The news companies do not handle
this publication. 1t is not to be found
on the news stands. Newsboys do
not sell 1t, and carriers do not handle
it. 1t is doubtful if it has a legiti-
mate sale of twenty-five copies. 1t is
a matter OF some doubt if ten copies
per day are sold. 1t has practically
no news. Except about q column
on the first page it is all made up
of plate matter furnished by n
New York news bureau. 1t is an
abortion and an absurdity alike as a
ne and as an official organ.
Yet it costs the city $1,000 a year, and
the county 81, 600 more.
This paper by a fraudulent claim,
which the Supreme Court disposed of,
last week, has done the city out of
large sums of money over and above
the 81, 900 legitimately ~ due it under
its designation. The individual who
is reaping the profits OF the fake en-
terprise, having no journalistic work
to do in connection with the wretched
thing, spends his time e~arwigging off,
cials for more and more pap, and
often getting it. This is how the re-
cert A%lderlnanic outrage, knocked out
by THE NEWS, vas brought about.
Perhaps if the Grand Jury should en-
ouire into that ugly affair, they might
find material for a pretty batch of in
dictments.
Anyway, we commend the whole
subject to Mayor Wanser and Finance
Commissioner Peterson. 1t is worth
a little study.
WE congratulate the Eren9ng Jour-
nal on being sure of the cash con
sidarot;on involved in its deal with

Wanser's Vetoes-Equally Cruel and
Foolish.

Wanser's Vetoes-Equally Cruel and
Foolish.
It is not fair or honest of Mayor
Wanser to attempt to throw upon the
members of the Street and Water
Board the responsibility for the mis-
cry he is inflicting upon a large class
of the cisy's most deserving and most
needy employees. He should stand
the racket himself. His vicarious
plea yesterday can only be regarded
as a juggle.
The Mayor admits that the work Of
these poor laborers was necessary.
He admits that it was properly done.
He admits that the pay is reasonable.
The only fault he has to find is that
some miserable petty technicality
was ignored in the of their
appointment. On the strength of
this technicality, he has made up his
mind to beat the poor fellows out of
the compensation for their hard
labor.
If this is not the quintessence of
meanness and INSCRIPTIONS trucking
to partisan prejudice, we don't know
what to call it. These were not men
with five thousand dollar jobs, or even
fifteen hundred dollar places. They
were poor fellows who worked at So
to So. so a day. They had not work
every day, but were put on when the
need arose. They had no RESPONSE
bilities; neither politics nor principle
entered into their appointment, their
work or their pay. Simply, Mr.. Wan
ser and his hair splitting secretary
a chance to make q technical point
againstla Democratic Board, and they
made it, regardless of consequences.
