Advertisers In Country newspapers.

Printers Ink, little New York
weekly, which teaches how TO adver-
Use, ought to be read by all Iner-
chants. The subscription price Is
only one dollar per year. A laie
number contains the following:
"Never mind how good circula-
tion paper may possess, advertis-s
lug in II is rarely proiitableswhen The
copy used is not the right kind.
Nevertheless, when advertisers fail

they blame anything. but the medl-
um t.cy have employed. This must
be particular irritating TO the editor
CT paper in small country town
where no other Journal is establish
ed. He knows his-paper has good
circulation, and that properly pre-
pared advertisements inserted in its
columns are sureto bring first class
returns. lie realizes however, that
the class ofcopy many OF his pat
rons use must strender their advertis-
ing useless, and the repntatIon Of
his journal as an advertising medium
must suffer in consequence. In
communication to Prinler's Ink on
this subject, Messrs Chas. Holt and
Sons. publishers of the Kankaka
Qll,) Gazette, remarlss
'The great trouble with country
advertisers is that they will not
change tneir advertisements, and the
editor in sheer desperation writes
something rather than allow the mat
ter to get sour. The average coun-
try merchant will change his show
windows, but his advertising space,
which cost him money, is allowed to
present exactly the same features
week after week. 1t takes long
time to educate some Een In certain
important matters connected with
the business, but we are glad to see
that with the example and influence
OF Printers Ink q decided change
has taken place in the matter OF
newspaper advertising. We regard
Printers Ink rs the newspapers
friend as well 30 tho advertisers as
sistant."

FREE WOOL.

According TO the Repub licans,
free wool was to ruin the American
sheep raiser and the rest Of the tariff
bill TO shut up American factories
and reduces wages all along tie line.
How good Republican authority is
may be judge from existing facts.
The American sheen raiser, owing to
the increasing demand, Ia getting
more for his wool than for some
years. Factories which have been
idle are starting up in all directions
and manufacturers are voluntarily
raising wages, and Decides the lahor-
er is happy. Let the doubtful voter
ponder these things.

How To Advertise.

From the Maritime journal we re
produce the following for the benefit
of The EcHo's advertisers.
Advertising space costs good deal
OF money, and no advertiser can af-
ford to waste it or allow IL to lose
any OF its value by neglecting to
furnish fresh copy frequently. An
advertisement that runs along month
after month without change does not
pay the advertiser. 1t loses it's ef-
fects and Is worth practically nothing
after the first half dozen insertions.
This is the reason that many people
do not find their advertising paying
them. An editor who never chang
ed the news or editorials In his pap
er would not expect his paper to pay
him, and an advertiser who never
changes his advertisement, but ex-
poets the public to read and be in
terested in the same stereotyped
card, day after day and week after
week, need not expect returns from
the space he pses.

T Congressional election is rapidly
approaching, and the day, Novem-

campaign is nigh over, and to say
the least, the fact cannot be over.
looked that this has proven one OF
the most exciting and interesting
campaign known for years, especially
was this noticeable prior to the Demo
cratic nominating convention when
Hon. Walter NJ. Denny was chosen
as Dcmocracy's standard bearer.
Truly has the campaign been one OF
unusual interest, but the resul. will
not thus be characterized for il We
are 10 judge which way the
wind blows by the way straws point,
we then say Mr.. Denny will be elect

towards winning the deserved favor
for this gentleman. and the people

false rlimors have been set afoat by
Mr. Denny's opponents, but nonn Of
these will have the least tendency to
weaken his chances of success, and,

strengthen his chances. No intelli.

their congressman who tried TO wend
his way to Congress by perjury and
other dishonest means. II is q
foregonc conclusion that Mr.. Denny
will have walk-oyer, but with this
confidence it would not be well for
every voter to remain In this thought
by staying at home and away from
the polls. Let every Democrat be
up and doing and in going to the
polls see that his neighbor ac-

A Correction.
The following from the Chicago
Western Fireman is self explanatory.

The following from the Chicago
Western Fireman is self explanatory.
Bay st. Louis, Oct. 20, "a.
Editor Western Fireman: read
in the Western Fireman of Oct. II
an account of q disastrous fire at
Bay st. Louis, in which you state
that the truck and engine were de-
stroyed. This is an error; for the
firemen and citizens were promptly
on the scene and succeeded in saw
ing the engine and truck, the sare
being gotten out while they were on
fire. The pupils of st. Stanislaus
College, to the number of $50, abont
100 citizens and the local fire COM
pany, with the. engine and truck,
succeeded in checking the fire after
four buildings had been destroyed.
Had there been a sufficient supply of
water the Filenen's Hall would in
all probability been the only build
ing destroyed.
From reports IL appears that the
College intends to purchase an en-
gine thus adding more fire protec-
tion to the town. This will be pleas
ant news to the people, as they have
for fourteen years formed the bulk
OF the bucket brigade at oil fires.

sOTE YEA.

The Secretary OF State has sent to
oil the county election commissioners
throughout the State copy of the
official ballot upon which the follow
ing appears as a part Of the whole:
Constitutional Amendment Yea.
Constitutional Anaendment--Nay.
Strike out Of the Constitution section
los thereof, which is as follows: "The
Legislature shall provide for the emu :
mera lion Of tho whole number of inhab.
itants and qualified electors OF the State
,, once in every ten years; and the first emu
merati0n shall be made during the two
months beginning on the first Monday of
June, 1895, and the Legislature shall pro
vide for the the same by law"
We desire and sincerely trust that
every voter not only 10 the District
but throughout the entire State will
vote for the constitutional amend
ment, the adoption Of which will
prove a great saving to the Safe by
relieving it Of an unnecessary and
useless expense of making, a decen-
Inial enumeration of the inhabitants
ottbe State--a task that Is thorough.
III and completely executed by the
Federal government every ten years.
The amendment, il adopted, will be
good thing in every way. That 1t
will be adopted can well be termed
"foregone conclusion.

THAT PRINTING.

II is the sacred duty of a news
paper TO serve the public from which
1t derives It support, and when that
newspaper so far abandons itself as
TO suppress, in any way, what con-
Germs people, it becones dishonest,
malicious in intent, and Unworthy
the protection, patronage and recog-
milton OF the community where
in 1t exists. While the gentlo-
men who compose the Board of May
or and Aldermen are well known
to us, we cannot refrain from ex-
pending portion of our time on
them. We ore not acting on the i'm
pulse Of he moment, but from deduc-
tions emarating from q calm, con-
siderate observation OF certain pro-
ccedings which are undeniably void
Of the consideration which should be
evidenced In council room where
the dcstinies OF municipality is
presided over. While some may as
seri the errors which they have com.
mltted are mt Of a pronounced con-
demnutory character, yet the fact
mrst not be overlooked, that slight
as they may appear, they demon
strate decided lack Of ability in
governing the affairs of our city.
As an Illustration of what We wish
to impress we will refer to the much
discussed city printing. The fol.
loving is the motion in full which G.
lected the Progress as official jour-
nal Of this city: "Ou motion OF Al
derman Fayard seconded by Al 'er-
man Egloff, it was ordered that the
contract for printing the official pro-
ceedings of the Board be awarded to
the Gulf Coast Progress at the sum
Of fifty dollars per annum. payable
quarterly, and that said paper shall
be the official organ Of this Board in
which all notices, ordinances and
ect., shall be printed" The resolu-
tion or contract is alright in so far as
the Progress is concerned; but the
Boards misinterpretation of the con-
tract is almost inexeusable as they
accepted the PROGRESSES offer under
the impression that fifty dollars in
cluded all printing that the Progress
might DO for the city through the
year.
The cost OF printing notices and
ordin q noes will amount % about
$l00. or more extra, a saving which
the city would have made II some
care had been exercised.
To any man with an atom of sc nse
the contract is amply explanatory,
and no doubt, bad the Board been
paying the attention our city affairs
requires Ct them as her executives
the contract would have been UNDER
stood. However inconsequential the
whole affair may be 1t remains an ir-
revocable fact that this negligence
deserves apprehension. We hope
our Board will take that as q lesson
and exercise greater care over any
important matter that should come
up before them in the future.
