been the first to arrive at a true under
standing of the business value of com
bination and cooperation. Before the
war between the states the average
country newspaper was published at a
heavy expense. Few editors managed
TO make 10Th ends meet. Their bust
ness life was 4 constant struggle for
existence. Competition had reduced
advertising rates and cut subscription
prices below the cost price. But early
in the sixties. at a time when money
was getting scareer and labor harder
10 procure than ever. the late A. v.
Kellogg. then a country editor up in
Wisconsin. solved the problem which
was agitating his fellow publishers by
inaugurating the auxiliary sheet
better known as the patent inside
business. The idea. although revolu-
t|ionary aud contrary 10 all editorial
traditions. became popular at once, and
was adopted by hundreds of western
publishers who. by il. were enabled to
issue good papers at a nominal ex-
pense.
\ few years later the stereotype
business-another industry founded
on the principle of combination and CO
/ operatiou-was launched. Its purpose
was to supply the editors of newspa-
pers printed in the larger towns with
stereotype plates that could be used
in place of the much higher priced
hand composition. The business was
a success from the start. II not only
improved the standard OF newspaper
reading matter, but proved to be OF
vast advantage TO wage-earners in the
printing trades because. like the aux
Hilary sheets. it led to the publication
Of scores of newspapers in every part
of the country.
The large city papers were inclined
to ridicule the patent inside" and
plate" business; and for years the
pompous editorial magnates instruct

TO NATIONALIST TELEGRAPH,
Gigantic scheme Proposed by Sir
sanford Fleming for the British
Government.

Sir Sanford Fleming has addressed a
long letter to William Mulock. post
master general of Canada, in favor OF
a telegraph service to girdle the globe
and owned by the state. The letter is
said to be the beginning Of a move
ment TO nationalize the cable and tele-
graph service of the empire. The mat
ter, the writer says, affects Canada a,
well as Australia.
The arrangement for the establish.
ment of the Pacific cable has been COM
pleted. The arrangement implies
Joint ownership. and in the opinion OF
Sir Sanford il is the harbinger of a
complete system Of state owned tele-
graphs by land and sea.
With the telegraph system national
lied as suggested, Sir Sanford saws that
messages will be transmitted TO and
from the most distant British posses
sions at one-eighth or one-tenth the
rates now levied by the companies. In
concluding his letter the writer SAYS:
British subjects in Canada. in Aus
tralia. in New Zealand, in India, in
Africa as well as in the mother coun-
try must unite in securing complete
emancipation from the grasp of the
great cable combine At the thresh-
old OF the twentieth century high i'm
perial interests demand the cheapest
possible telegraph transmission and
the greatest possible freedom Of inter-
course between all the subjects of her
majesty domiciled around the globe. I
respectfully submit. therefore. that ac-
ton cannot be taken a day too soo to
nationalize our telegraph system by
land and sea throughout the whole
empire"

competition. Men from way out in the
west invaded the newspaper field in
New York and other eastern cities;
papers formerly sold at five cents a
copy had to be offered for two cents
or a penny, and some hitherto proud
and supercilious publishers had great
difficulty in making the ghost walk
Of Saturday afternoons" Expenses
had to be cut to avoid ruin. Instead of
collecting city news independently.
the publishers formed organizations
for jointly obtaining routine informa-
ton of every description. From this
hint proceeded the organization of the
i~o-csIled literary Syndicate which
buys articles and sells them 10 editors
all over the country at a merely nom
inal price. To-day there is not a metro
politan paper in the United States
which does not make copious use of this
syndicate stuff; and one Sunday pa
per. barring the local news. looks very
much like another. whether il be pub
,ished in New York, Chicago or San
francisco. Several years ago the
writer, while a guest Of the Lotus club
at New York. asked a weII-known
American author why these manu-
script dealers called their enterprises
'syndicates." Il suppose" he replied,
because the stuff usually offered to
the public by our financial s~yndicates
IS no good. A mere case Of imitation,
you see"
There is now in this country an Eng
lish editor and publisher, Mr.. Alfred
Harmsworth, who Is entitled to our re-
spectand admiration because he hash had
the hardihood and good sense of intro
ducing American newspaper methods

Peruna not only cures the grip but prevents it.
Taken in time thousands of lives will be saved in this present epidemic.
Every family should take the precaution TO secure a supply Of Peruna
at once, for the retail and wholesale stock OF the remedy may be exhausted
BY the enormous demand for it.
It'll wisdom to have Peruna in the house ven before the grip attacks
the household.
1t has been ascertained by q reporter that the following people of
national reputation have given public endorsement and testimonials to
Peruna a n remedy for Ia grippe:
Congressman Howard, of Aabams. says: :" i have taken Peruna for the
grip and recommend it As an excellent remedy to all fellow sufferers
Congressman White. of North Carolina, says: a. find Peruna to be q
excellent remedy for the grip. Ihavc used 1t in my family and they all
Join ne in recommending it."
Miss Frances NJ. Anderson. Of Washington. d C, daughter of Judge
Anderson. of Virginia. says: 81 was taken very i'll with the grip l took

Mrs Harriette A. 5. Marsh, President OF the womans Benevolent
Association. of Chicago. writes. IL suffered with grip W weeks
Nothing helped me. Tried Peruna and within three weeks 1 was fully
restored. Shall never be without IL again"
At the appearance of the first symptoms Of grip people should stay
indoors take Peruna in small doses (teasppouful every hour until the
symptoms disappear. This will prevent = long disastrous sickness and
perhaps fatal results

Zulick, that greal and good democrat, for the sole purpose of giving the mem- bers of that party an office. The Board has proved good thing for the Terri. tory. and thus far has escaped repeal. The only thing the democrats have to offer in the place of the board is one to be composed of the chairmen of the board of supervisors of the various counties, which would, from its num- erous members, prove of but little use
