much debate and petition and elaboration,
Congress authorized the erection of an
addition to structure which. unless re-
Heved Of considerable proportion of the
weight with which it was burdened, would
probably collapse, and in SO doing might
drag down into its ruins hundreds of HUI
man beings. Col John NJ Wilson of the
corps OF army engineer ably assisted, has
done his best to make the new building Sc
cure beyond the possibilities of collapse;
but it now appears as If an inconsiderate
searcher after interior space had. by the
cutting Of the steel tie-rods, seriously
threatened the safety of an edifce the Sc
curity of which ought to be beyond sus-
picion. 1t appears though the injury
which has been done cannot be repaired
without congressional action, for the re-
coupling Of the tie-rods would be quite an
expensive operation. so that the addition
TO the printing office will have to remain
in its present unsatisfactory condition for
some time yet. 1t is unfortunate that there

What Constitutes u New.pnper.

1t Is a wonder that an inkling of the in
sufficiency Of any scheme to increase cir
culattou other than the steady day-by day
or week-by-week making of newspaper
good enough to attract readers does not Of
tenor enter the acute brains of newspaper
managers. During the past four or five
years there have been myriadS of schemes
concocted to induce people tc buy newspa-
pers. Many newspapers have risen to more
or less dizzy heights of prosperity, and
have gradually sunk again to the level of
their merits as newspapers. Some, indeed,
have shrewdly recognized the illusory ma
ture of the promises held out by the cou-
pom, the book, the picture, and other de-
vices, and have used them merely to at
tract attention to their substantial merits.
These have profited permanently But for
enc that has followed the schemes with
real Improvement and thus held some of
the transtory readers, there are scores
that have not done anything of the sort,
and have gained Lothing but an unpleasant
experience. There Is but one way to boom
circulation that Is really worth considering.
1t Is to axe good paper. Everybody
feels the need of a newspaper, and every
body is going to buy the best newspaper
offered him-according to his basis of judg-
ment of which the best is.-Newspaperdom.
AS Newspaperdom sensibly suggests it Is
mistake TO suppose that anything but
superior performance of the newspapers
function of honestly printing the news can
give permanent advantage TO one paper
over another. 1t is likewise blunder,
sometimes made, to believe that popularity
and success can be gained by envious
snarling at the heels of a successful COM
petitor, by persistently and Indignantly IL
belling and coarsely abusing a contem-
porary The malicious and venomous sheet
loses the business advantage of the indi-
rect advertising of references to 1t In the
more widely circulated newspaper for no
self-respecting paper pays attention to
such discharges of filth in is direction, any
more than the wise farmer resents the
demonstrations of a skunk; and the per-
centage of respectable readers among the
subscribers to such publication soon be-
come tired and disguised with literary
diet which starves them as to news and
stuffs them to repletion with spiteful ltbels
and lying blackguardisms.

Somebody out in the vicinity of the more
or less thriving settlement of Valentine,
Neb-. must have a lot OF forage to sell.
There has been no direct advertisement Of
such condition. but the alleged informa-
ton which has it that the Indians at Rose
bud Agency are preparing to go on the
warpath would be conclusive evidence to
those who know the modern frontiersmen
that there is possibility of special effort
being made to bring about the presence
of large force of United States troops in
tlat region. Most of the far western COM
munities would be fairly well satisfied if
they had garrison as near them as Fort
Niobrara is near to Valentine, but Nalen-
tine is ambitious. and would be exceedingly
prosperous. If such thing were possible.
Therefore, seven companies of infantry and
an occasional troop Of cavalry are not suffi-
cient for the purposes of those who find in
warfare against the Indians much more of
financial advantage than can possibly be
secured In times of absolute peace; they
desire the incoming of thousand or more
additional soldiers. called into the field for
the apparent purpose of exterminating the
noisy Brules who are following the leader
ship Of that greatest of Indian populists,
Hollow Horn Bear. but who are really in
the field for no other purpose than to pro-
vide employment for teamsters who just
now are out of a job, and to bring about
the speedy consumption of vast quantities
of horsefeed. This may seem very rid!cu-
lous to those eastern people who are with
out intimate knowledge Of the western
way, but it is, nevertheless. true that these
forage wars are quite common In that
great region beyond the Missouri. There
was one in the Jackson Hole country lit
tie while ago, and there have been others
preceding 1t. and SO far back that the
memory of man runneth not to the con-
trary. And there Will come others.

Proper economy is unquestionably a vir-

are that not even a postmaster in the art

A Brilliant Wedding.

The following, taken from the
Baton Rouge Daily Advocate, is an
account Of the marriage OF our
townsman, Morris Rosenfield, of
which mention was made in the last
issue Of the Gazette:
y beautiful wedding took place
last Sunday evening at Arbroth,
West Baton Rouge parish, at the
home of MIR. S. Abramson, re-
spected and highly esteemed citizen
of that parish. Friends and rela
tives from affair and near gathered at
the hospitable home to witness the
announced marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. Abramson's lovely and accom-
plished young daughter, Miss Dora,
to one of Lafayette's prominent
young business men, MIR. Morris
Rosenield. The parlor was elabor-
ate1y decorated with flowers and
evergreens. Beneath an arch artis-
tically decorated stood Rabbi Nj.
Klein at the hour Of seven awaiting
the bridal party. The silence of
the throng was the signal of their
arrival. The N1endelssohn wedding
march by Miss Grossman, an ac-
cotnplished young lady of new Or
leans greeted them at the parlor
door in the following order: Mr..
Abe Abramson and sister, Miss
Rosa; Mr.. and Mrs. A. Kaufman,
of Baton Rouge; Mrs. $. Abramson,
mother OF the bride, leaning on the
arm of the handsome groom, gently
followed by MIR. S. Abramson with
his lovely bride-daughter dressed in
OF hri iof -; "a
silk and French lace, diamond orna-
mcnts covered with wreat tn and veil.
When the bride and groom stood
side by side the beautiful Jewish SER
| vice was conducted in Il most Solemn
and impressive manner kv RABBI
Klein from Baton RosiGe. Words Of
advice and holiness were spoken by
the eloquent minister, and after
pronouncing them man and wife
congra tulations and good wish es
were in order by the numerous
friends and relatives in attendance.
kilograms from absent friends were
read, then a march formed to the
dining room where a table laden
with the dclcacies of the season
awaited the party. The menu was
excellently arranged BY Mr.. T.. l..
Berdon, of Nelson and Mr. Berdon OF
this city, assisted by skilled and
gentlcr hands. After all had fairly
| feasted toasts were declared in or
der and Rabbi Klein arose and
| offered a feeling and happy toast.
He was followed by Drs. Matthews
and Sewell, Messrs. J. Grossnan,
Reams, Marks, Miss Dreyfus, MIR.

touching tribute was the one offered
by Mr.. Abe Abramson, brother oi

The Right Kind of Talk.

A drummer for printing house
in a certain city Solicited some job
work from Mr.. 3. Willer, one Of
our merchants, the other day, but
did not get the order, although Mr..
Willer wanted some work done at
the time. Mr.: Willer said that he
preferred patronizing home industry
and would give his work to this
Office, because those connected with
the Democfat-Journal spent their
money here and deserved patronage.
Mr.. Willer in this affair showed the
spirit OF a enterprising and Lublic
spirited man, one who is willing to
assist his ncishbors in their bust
ness. Those connected with o,iI
office spend $1,000 or $1,000 in the
place yearly, and for that reason
alone, if there were NO other, they
are entitled to more recognition
than they get. The paper is ex-
pected to work for the town, but
some of those most interested do
not think our services are worthy of

habit of sending to New Orleans
and other cities tor their printing
