Supplement- . the AavOcate

A sixteen column supplement is issued with
this issue of the DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE, to
relieve the pressure of advertising matter in
our regular paper. We have always con
tended that something is due TO readers as
well as to advertisers, aud that the advertiser
should not be allowed to encroach upon the
space allotted to reading matter. The peo,
Pile of course, ought to read the advertise
ments. They.are an index for buyers and
often contain valuable information on other
matters, such as the local laws, the general
laws, the statements of public receipts and
expenditures, &c.
The prime object of a newspaper is to pub
Iish the news and to furnish interesting and
instructive reading matter, and subscribers
are entitled to have it, Publishers should
never allow advertisements to crowd out news
and other reading.
The unusual press of advertising at this
time makes the issuance of supplement to
the ADVOCATE necessary this week. In il
will be found nearly four columns of inter
esting miscellany, some local laws, and the
flaming advertisements of Miller Bros. and
Wilson 4 Goodwin.

Westminster Finances.

For the first time in the history of West
minister detailed statement of the ciiy's re-
ceipts and expenses has been made. IL was
issued this week, in circular form, and may
BIZ found on the first page of the ADVOCATE
Today. The Mayor accompanies the statement
with some explanatory remarks, that will at
tract public notice. According To the Mayor,
city affairs were loosely conducted until the
last year or two.
An election for city officials is near at hand,
and the people should give the matter arten-
ton. Westminster is too large and the bust
ness Of the city is too important to let it go
by default, as has sometimes been done. A
city debt Of over $780, 600 is TO be handled, and
the annual revenues amount to more than
5000. The people desire neither an increase
of debt nor increase of taxation, and to so
husband the city's resources that needed i'm
provements can be carried on, the interest on
the debt be promptly met and the sinking
fund kept up require the exercise OF prudence
und financial ability.
