JUsT about this time candidates for
Office are looking around for persons tc
attend the county conventions as dele,
gates. There should be distinct under.
standing among Republicans that one Of
requisites to represent township or dis
trict must be an unqualified promise to
support the candidate of the convention
Three years ago there were delegates in
the Republican convention who openly
opposed one of the candidates, and the
same thing was repeated in the senatorial
contest. While having our doubts wheth-
er such men are entitled to recognition in
a Republican caucus, we do not presume
to rule them out, but suggest that they
be required to give an unqualified public
pledge of determination to stand by the
nominees of the convention.

THE Board OF Freeholders, at its meet
ing next Thursday, viii probably consid
er the price to be paid for the board o.
prisoners during the next three years.
This will be in accordance with the usua
custom of the Board to fix the rate just
before new sheriff is elected that the in.
coming official may know how much he is
to receive. The present sheriff gets &c
cents per day, which seems to be about
the right price. There are few people
who think that the rate might be cut down,
but the general impression appears to be
that it is low enough, and should be kept
lust where it is.

AND NOW a word of friendly advice to
our young friend, the editor of the Dis
patch. 1t may be presumptuous, but hay
ing been in the newspaper business more
years than he has been in existence, we
have perhaps pardonable conceit of
some knowledge in that direction. One
of the most important points in publish
ing a newspaper is to be sure of your in
formation Having satisfied yourself
that you are correct in your surmises, you
can go ahead without fear of contradic-
ton. Don't let somebody who wants to
get square with somebody else, whisper
into your ear racy bit like, for instance,
the Wilkins case, where you state that
Judge Lippincott was the sole witness,
when the Prosecutor of the Pleas can
prove to you that there was at least one
other witness. And in the same case
where you make the statement that SEN
tence was never suspended, but was sim
ply neglected" You could easily have
reach of your sanctum, and there, on the
records, you would have found this en-
try: Trial set down for October IL, 1892.
Bail renewed to appear on Sd Tuesday in
tence suspended pending good behavior"
Don't let feeling of any sort permit you
to publish any item that will cause I'M
pleasant results, or that Will cast unjust
aNrf
of fire, you say "The fire is supposed
to have originated either in the clubhouse
used by The News Office, or the one at
the rear of the Philadelphia five-cent
store. The latter was almost completely
destroyed, and the former, Immediately
adjoining, partially burned. This would
seem to indicate that the conhagration
started in the store Clubhouse" There
was no superstition in the case. The fire
started back of the fve-cent store, while
the building back of THE News Office was
but slightly charred This, of course, is
not of much moment, but the item bears
evidence of covert malice. The fire oc-
Cured on Tuesday you publish your pa
per on Thursday. A five minutes examl-
nation of the premises, or a conversation
for like period with the many people
who inspected the spot, would have given
YOU clear view of the facts
Don't be too keen to add personal COM
ment to communications like that in the
Kelly case. unless you are positive they
are deserved Then sail in and wake
things up. But in this instance you must
certainly be convinced by this time that
there was not such seal of grave error
as would at first appear.
Don't allow your paper to bear SEM
blance to being under control of the same
influences that we're in charge before you
purchased it. There are those who think
they can discover the instigation of the
Senator Perkins article and the Thomas
Maires-beg pardon the Wilkins item.
And finally, don't get angry at this ar
ticle. 1t is not meant to "rile" you, but
to point out whereby you may make
some improvement. and, as you have
given evidence of wisdom and ability,
you will, if you will calmly deliberate on
these suggestions, see that no harm is in
tended, but that, if needed, will benefit
you in your conduct of second to none"

When an article has been sold
for 20 years, and its sales have in
creased each year, in spite of COM
petition and cheap limitations, it
must have superior quality and alb
solute uniformity and purity.
Dobbins' Electric Soap has been
constantly made and sold since
1869, more each year. Can the
sale of an inferior article constant
ly increase for 20 years? This
soap is to-day as ever, the best,
the purest, family soap made. 1t
contains no adulteration of any
kind, and is intrinsically the
cheapest soap made, because it
will go so far, and do such perfect
work. Ask your grocer for it.
