Able Snorers in the Senate.

For the Good 1t Can Do.


Washington city has a new paper, The
WASHINGTON TINES. which styles itself 'The
Peoples Paper" because 10000 people are
interested in its establishment. This new
paper starts out with the very best chances
for success. Union workmen and their friends
have contributed to its capital. Every stock
holder in the company is a worker and pro-
ducer, and. therefore. ii is free from the dicta-
ton of capital and unshackled regarding
politics. II is in the bands of capable, cour-
ageous newspaper men. and, all il all, never
was paper started under such fattering
auspices. We predict that THE WASHINGTON
TINES will be a success, and power for good
in the land

Able EditoriaiIy and Locally.

THE WASHINGTON TINES is the latest venture
in the morning paper field at the national
capital. 1t is established as cooperative
institution, and has over 1000 stockholders,
not one of whom is worth more than $4,000,
and all of whom are working people. The
paper is four-page, seven-column sheet,
handsomely printed. 1t has an exceptionally
able force of editorial and local writers, and
is supplied with telegraphic news by the AS
sociated Press. All the members of organized
labor have pledged it their support and
agreed to trade with such business men as
give it their advertisements. The manage
ment announced that it was on paying basis
when its first number was printed.

Delights of Detroit Girls.

Ward McAllster IN New York World-l
The liberty given to our southern and west
ern girls has no parallel anywhere. In city
like Detroit if you so to ball and ask n
young lady to go with you it involves going
TO her house and taking her to the ball. There
you must supply her with partners FOR all the
dances. take her into supper. and IN the
small hours take her home. She always has
her own latch-key, and either bids you good
night on the threshold or asks you IN TO talk
over the events of the evening. All through
the South and Southwest and the West there
is not the slightest impropriety in this Gus

From the Oakland tCal) Tribunel
The WASHINGTON TIMEs has been estab
lished at the national capital by the coop
Grafton of the members of Columbia Typo
graphical Union, No. 101. and it is the direct
outgrowth of the crowding out Of printers
from other Offices by type-setting machines.
The new paper is seli-sustaining from the
start, and promises to enjoy long season of
success. 1t is certainly gotten up in way to
entitle it to the hearty support of the people

Grant, Gilroy, and Advertising.

1t is said that ex-Mayor Grant, OF New
York. makes 5000 year out of his adver-
tising privileges in the cars of the Metropol-
tan Traction Company, and that John J.
Gilroy, son of the present mayor, makes
S35. 900 year out of similar contract with
the Third Avenue Railroad Company. 1t
would seem that advertising must pay pretty
well if, after the big price for these privi-
leges. the contractors can rake of these snug
profits: for the advertisers themselves must
make money out of it or they would not SO
persistenty stick to it.

Loving Friends
Destined to Become a Power.
rErom the Ranpor News1


Less than a month ago there was started at
the national capital a 1-cent morning daily,
which is destined to become power in the
land and to make money for the men who
own It. This is THE WASHINGTON TINES, a
crisp, snappy, four-paged, seven columns to
the page, paper, which on It's face contains
all the elements Of success. For years the
people OF Washington have read their local
news in the Baltimore Sun, for the good rea-
son that Washington had no daily with spunk
enough to print what the citizens of Wash
ington wanted to read. The TIMES not only
''sees'' the Baltimore Sun, but goes 1t sew
eral better, and it is particular strong in
bright local sketches that are written so well
they must be read. Then. again, the editor
ials should not be forgotten.
The editor OF The TIMES is Marshall Cush-
ing, who has seen more newspaper work, and
done It, too, than falls to the lot Of the aver
age man. .Cush" graduated from Harvard
college with honors, went to the Boston Globe,
and there did some of the best work ever done
on that paper From there he went to Wash
ington as private secretary TO Hon. Henry
CapOt LouSe. Again ne Went INTO tiie He"S-
paper business, and under C. II. Hammond,
OF the New York Press, he went to Indian
apolis and made himself "solid' with the then
President-elect Harrison. When Harrison
was inaugurated Mr.. Gushing was made pri-
vate secretary to Postmaster General Wana-
maker, and for four long years lived in official
clover. During this time he wrote and pub
lished big book upon the mail service of the
United States, which has had wonderful
sale. Finally, to crown his success. he has
taken charge of .the brightest and best paper
in the prettiest city of the world.
"Cush" is good boy. He richly deserves
all the success he has won. May he and his
shadow continue to grow until the whole ma
tion shall know him and appreciate him even
as he is known and appreciated by his friends.
