DELINQUENT s SUBSCRIBERS j

The Hartford, Comm Examiner
quotes an article from THE REPRE-
SENTATIVE about those who take
Populist papers and neglect or refuse

1.-THE Examiner is sorry to have to
confess that it has a few of such
friends and patrons. And they call
themselves reformers too. And
doubtless they are in spirit i the flesh

thing in the life and work of a re-
form publisher. II this is what we are
to find in the saints" he contem-
plates, what hope is there in depend
ing on the Sinners"
And thus 1t is that not only are re-
form publications starved out, or per-
mitted to live precarious existence,
but many honest noble souls, who have
seen and felt this indifference, have
given up the fight as useless, devoting
their time and talents henceforth to
the especial care of themselves and
their Immediate dependents. 1t must
have been feeling of disgust inspired
by this realization of the good-for-
