Union. Journal: In the name of English,
pure and uude6led. we ask our elders and
betters of the newspaper fraternity to drop
''pants"-the word, of course-and take up
trousers. We ask of them even more,
(witnout pedantry) omit the gratultous
"lady" from the oft published ''widow

to an eastern paper among other things |

some time, take pleasure In saying | am
still in Oregon and there is but one thing l |

Exchange: Probably no attempt at ma
chine politics has called forth such large
amount of editorial ability in opposition to
it than the mIdwinter convention in New
York. This is clearly the machine of David
B. Hill, and while one of the greatest Dem

nan who claims to represent them. We do
lot know of Democratic paper, great or
'mall, that has endorsed the late movements

Fall River Ne,cs: That must have been
Iueer old codger who took out the first
book ever issued by the Newburyport Insti
ution for Savings, seventy years ago, and
lever cared enough about it to look after
he interest, which amounted in that time
% SS9S on the original deposit of $50. No
more deposits were ever made by him in

principal.
Telephone Register: Considers Bile work in
he printing line goes away from this city
which should be done here. In most in
tances 1t can be done as well and cheaper
han where it is done. If newspaper men

rom home simply because they could get
hem cheaper or of better quality there
would be great kick coming from our bus
ness men, and it would be right. We are I
community and live upon each other. ,
