The ''Copy Hook" paper pub
lisbed in the interest of newspaper
couldn't have said anything more
truthful than the following: ssThe
publisher of a newspaper has one
thing to sell and one thing to rent.
He has the newspaper to sell aud the
space in his columns to rent. Can
anyone inform us why he should be
expected to give away either the one
or the othera lie can if he 80 chooses.
and he does, as a matter of fact, furn-
ish a great deal of space rent free.
But it does not follow that he ought
to be expected to do so. 1t ought to
be recognized as contribution, exact
ly as would be the giving away of
sugar or coffee by a grocer. But,
strange to say, it is not looked upon
in that light at all, yet everybody
knows that the existence of a news
paper depends upon the rent of its
space and the sale of the paper, az
success depends on selling
his goods instead OF giving them
away"

The citizens of East Carroll ar,
gratiied to hear of the appointment
of Mr.. w. &. McRae az Assessor te
succeed Mr.. j. S. Guenard. Tht
Governor could not have made a bet
ter appointment. Mr.. McRae has al
his life been one of the most fearless
supporters of Democracy, aud has
never failed to respond to the call OF
his party. No man in the parish has
done more individual service than he
has; and in his appointment the wishes
of large majority of the people have
been gratified. A hard fight was
made by both sides, aud his appoint
ment is a triumph, not only for him.
self. but for his friends also. Democ-
racy believes in rotation in office, and
10 East Carroll the offices rotate pretty
regularly about every two terms.

At the solicitation and urgen,

allow his name to be used for the
position again, and there is not the
slightest doubt but that he will be re-.
elected by as large a majority as he
ever received at any previous election.
Mr.. Hamley has served the town for
eight years, aud it cannot be said,
even by the few who are opposing him.
that the town has not prospered under
his administration aud tho hoodlum-
ism has not been entirely broken up.
The affairs of the little city are in good
shape, and why change is necessary
we cannot see, except that 1t is the
same old cry Of aouts against the ins."
Mr.. Hamley will be reelected, mark
our prediction.
