-------.--
Little Too Previous.

ave have opened our book to
receive subscriptions for the benefit
of Colonel Rempel and the gas com.
pany. The Colonels taxes you
know are enormous, and as Logan
is to own its electric light plant
thus leaving the gas company and
Rempel to grope in their own dark
ways and darkness minus the $2,S0t
received from the city. Come early
to avoid the rush as the taxes are
payable June 1st. All moneys re-
ceived will be properly acknow-
lodged through the JOURNAL."-
Hooking Valley Journal.
The above seems a little too sud
den. We suggest to Bro. Mckay
that the time for Logan to owr
and operate it's own Electric light
plant has not yet arrived.
This is April 9th, and the new
ly elected cOuncllmen VIII NOT qual
ify until the 18th.
The Legislature has agreed tt
cease passing ripper bills and ger
rymanders, and adjourn April IS.
Before the town of Logan cal
own or operate Electric lights th'
legisla ure must give it authority tt
do so, and this will not be done a
this session.
There will not be an opportunity
for legislative action till after Jan
uary 1898, and possibly not before
this time next year.
We hate to rub off the halo from
the Journals bright picture, but
facts are proverbily stubborn, ant
may as we'll be met at once.
The present outlook seems to in
dicate that Logan will have anothe
municipal election before she own
an Electric light Plant.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1892-04-09

mess men argues the contrary.
Much of the complaint is due to
the method adopted by the COM
planners.
They find trade growing dull or
their customers forsaking them,
and in their frantic efforts to stay
the tide, they rush to the most con-
venient newspaper and insert a
few wocals" "for one week only
and then wait for great is,
and are disgusted when they, the
results, do not come.
AS well might a physician ex'
pect Il single dose of medicine to
cure chronic case of disease.
If you would have advertising
pay it must be continuous, persis
tent, honest and truthful.
Keep your business continually
before your patrons, and in such a
way that when customer calls he
will find the "ad" verified, and
your complaint that advertising
does not pay" will soon be found
grOundless.

Presidential Outlook.

AHarper's Weekly.)
The letter will show to the man.
ayers of the convention, if any fur.
ther evidences were needed, the
gravity of the situation in New
York, and the doubtful party wis
dom Of selecting a candidate from
State in which there is not only
difference of preference for can
didates, but an organized party op-
position to the regular party action.
1t is not extravagant to say that
Mr.. Hill would prefer to see Mr..
Cleveland, should he be nominated,
defeated rather than elected, and
there are certainly enough of his
friends in the State who, taking the
same view, would secure the de-
feat. This is probability which
can not he denied, and which would
pot be outweighed in the judgment
of saglacious managers of the con-
vention by the assertion that the
Democratic masses are oVerwhelm
ingly for Cleveland. 1t is a situa
zion greatly TO be deplored by those
who would gladly see the .nomina
tion of Mr.. Cleveland, hut situa
tion which throws strong ligh
upon the Democratic situation.

sharks who are bleeding both.
It is Il report that will diaappoint
and discourage every honest man
in the country and every brave
soldier who is averse to being class
ed with the army of leeches whom
politicians have fastened on the
Treasury. In his haste to give the
Commissioner of Pensions as much
money as possible, Mr.. O'Neil con-
fesses that "the bill carries $2,000,-
600 more than is needed" Why
should he add 100000 to bill al
ready more than double the entire
cost of the Government in the year
before the war, except on the theory
that after all it is a small part of
the sum which ought not to have
been appropriated?
Mr.. O'Neil's bill should not be
passed by Democratic Congress,
J ustice to the honest and worthy
pensioners, to Democratic pledges
and to the country demands its re-
duction.

An EXtravagant Pension
Bill.

New York World.
Mr.. O'Nell of Massachusetts, has
presented the report TO the Snb-
Committee on Pensions of the APP
preparations Committee. The sum
provided for is $134,925,066. 1t is an
eXtravagant amount. 1t is only
"$3S9,719 less than the amount ap-
propriated by the Fifty-frst [Bill-
ion Dollarl Congress-"
1t is to be regretted that this
Democratic subcommittee did not
have sufficient courage to investi
gate the pension-roll in order to
discover what frauds have been
perpetrated upon the old soldiers
and the country. Every intelligent
man knows that the pension list
has been swelled beyond all bounds
of reason and honesty; that there
are men living on the bounty of the
Government who never saw a bat
tie; and that fraud vitiates many a
supposed contract entered into be-
tween the Government and the
pensioner.
1t is fimiliar fact that the pen
sion laws and the pension system
need revision. A committee of Con-
gress is now engaged in taking
testimony which shows how the
