A Wise Deci,ion.

The firm of Lord & Thomas, of Chi
cago, must think that the newspaper
men up in this region are set OF
chumps. They have persistently in-
sisted on sending their proposition to
this Office although we have refused 10
even respead thereto without return
postage enclosed. Their latest In this
line is o request to insert an inch ad. for
four weeks, position on local page, "for
which charge oar agency 40 cents. less
% per ceat commission" Munificent
offer that, bat the Advocate must de-
cline to accept for reasons Unnecessary
to state hire. Little wonder that the
advertising agents are luxurating ia
clover whea the poor publiShers ere
compelled TO foot the bill. But it is the
fault Of the country printers that such
conditions exist.-Sturgeon Bay Ad-
,ocato.
Seon Bay Advocate is conducted by a
man of sound sense. and ran upon busi-
ness principles. Foreign advertising
agencies at the present day are appar-
emily combinations foi med TO "bleed"
the honest publishers and pocket all the
money. They claim to be benefit to
newspaper publishers, but tits our honest
opinion that they are detriment, to
say nothing of being unmitigated borss.
They charge eXorbitant prices for their
work. hnt expect the newspapers TO pub
llsh the advertising for about thirty
cents on the dollar, and then many times
they try to dodge paying even that.
The present publisher OF The SESTI-
NEI, has always maiptained that the
price for foreign advertising should be
the same as at home, aud we will posi-.
lively not take 1t for one centJess. 1t is
strange that many papers @3T load their
columns with all kinds OF "slush." asd
tody to the sharks who have charge OF
1t, for less than one.thrd the price they
charge at home. THE SENTINEL does
not do business that way. II Lort 4
Thomas or any other lord wants to ad-
vertise In this paper, they will have tt
pay the regular rate. II that is not salts
factery they can save their breath anc
postage stamps.

\ Great Lecture.

says of Col. Ham. who is to lecture at
the Opera House in this city next Mon
day night:
The Oriole Club certainly made no
mistake when Col. Ham. of Georgia,
was selected to deliver IL humorous
lecture here. to open the series of four
entertainments. Col. Ham was greet
ed with an appreciative and attentive
audience. and his lecture was not only
equal to but beyond the exceptions of
his hearers. Through all his happy
vein of anecdote and "reminiscences ran
the sober. steady u~ndercurrent OF his
thought which carried out his aim and
object to better mankind by showing
up the ''snollygOster. He would
charm the attention of his audience
with a glowing grand flight of rhetoric.
and in the silent hush OF breathless
attention he would drop Il word or
sentence of Georgia Cracker humor
that would open laughter's food gates
and make the walls ring with merri-
ment and applause.
