Many of the state papers are
raising great hue and cry over
the fact that the democratic legis-
latnre has awarded the contract for
printing its bills to paper OF dem
ocratic faith for the sum OF $3.50
per page, when an offer to do the
same work at 80 cents per page
was made by the Boise Statesman.
Personally, the editor Of the Report
is republican, but we believe in
that good old democratic doctrine:
'"To the victor belongs the spoils. !"
These same newspapers are rarely
in favor OF the competitive system
unless they happen to be one OF
the "outs." The cry Of ssstop
thief" is never raised when they
are on the inside; their high
moral sense Of justice to the tax
payer is lost in their mad rush for
the elusive dollar. Let the news
papers that had the courage of
their convictions and the nerve to
take chances on the issues before
the people, receive what patron
age their party has to bestow at
legal rates, rs there reward. A
newspaper that labors conscien-
tiously for the advancement Of the
community in which it is pub
lished, aside from its political and
party service, necessarily contrib.
utes much to the wealth and pros
perity Of a very large element that
never extends any kinds of sup
port to newspaper except it be
through the channel Of public
printing. About all state legis-
latures are many cases of extrava-
gance more fragrant and injurious
to the overburdened taxpayer than
the awarding of the public print
ing at far and profitable figure.
For instance, the committee clerk

complish nothing for the oppressed

How to BECOME wealthy.

In New Hampshire city there
dwells an octogenarian physician who
in addition to his wide medical skill is
known far and wide as a dispenser of
blunt philosophy. The other day a
young man of his acquaintance called
at his office.

DOCTOR" said the visitor. but for adj
vice. You have lived many years in
this world of toll and trouble and have
had much experience. am young, and
| want you to tell me how to get rich"
The aged practitioner gazed through
his glasses at the young man and in a
deliberate tone said
"Yes; can tell you. You are young
and can accomplish your object II you
will. Your plan is this: First, be indus
trious and economical. Save as much
as possible and spend as little. Pile up
the dollars and put them at interest II
you follow out these instructions, by
the time you reach my age you'll be
rich as Crpsus and as mean as hades."

The Promenade stonned.

Ii Is related of Captain Deering that
once when he was in command of a
steamer running from Portland TO st.
John, he was unable to sleep on ac-
count of the ceaseless tramp, tramp of
some star gazing passenger on the hur-
ricane deck overhead. After turning
and twisting in his berth for half an
hour, and the tramping still continuing,
Captain Deerng, enraged at the loss Of
his sleep, rushed out in his nightshirt
and climbed the ladder to the hurricane
deck.
The promenading passenger was
frightened half out of his wits by the
specter in white climbing up the lad
der, but was somewhat treasured when
the specter bawled out:
Say, you; where are you gongY
"To st. john" replied the promenad-
er.
Got a ticket?" pursued the ghost.
"Of course have"
"Well, then. you COMPOUNDED fool 60
and lie down somewhere-you needn't
walk all the way to st. john" roared
the enraged Deering, and the prone
nader stopped right there.-Baltimore

MUST PAY FOR PAPER.
Indiana Court Holds That Those Who
Take IL and Read IL Must Pay.

Indiana Court Holds That Those Who
Take IL and Read IL Must Pay.
The circuit court of Kosciusko
County, Indiana, has just rendered
decision OF considerable interest to
newspaper publishers. The Northern
Indiana, a newspaper in that county,
brought suit against William Duval to
obtain the money due it on subscrip-
months, and the court awarded the
newspaper S22.S5, the total amount
due. The evidence brought out the
fact that Duval ordered the paper in
1882 and continued TO take it from the
postotlice until December 1897, when
he ordered it discontinued and failed to
make settlement. During the period
Iof delinquency statement OF his ac-
count was sent TO him semi-annually.
He was also seen personally several
times by representative of the paper
and told the latter that he did not in
tend TO pay, giving as a reason that he
had never ordered the paper. When
placed upon the witness stand Duval
displayed receipt for four months
subscription, at the same time declar-
ing that he ordered the paper for that
length of time only, yet continued to
take it from the postofiice. The court
held that as long as Duval took the
paper from the postofiice he received
valuable property and was therefore
made liable for the payment Of that
property The bill and costs amounted
to $50 and Duval will have to settle.
The suit is interesting from the fact
that every newspaper has subscribers
who are willing to take and read the
paper but who either refuse positively
to pay for the paper or who are long
time liquidating their bills. The de-

each person more prompt in the pay
ment of newspaper debts as they are
subject to to collection by law il not
disposed TO pay with out such process.
