A rare thing in the newspaper line
was shown to an Augusta tGa.) Her.
aid reporter by Mr.. F. F. Powers. the
local commercial agent Of the Central
OF Georgia Railway. To speak by the
card. It would be well to call the Pc
riodical of Mr.. Powers "newscloth"
instead of n newspaper. for the print
ing had been done on a cotton hand
kerchief, and why the handkerchief
was used instead of the usual white
paper is an interesting story which
Mr. Powers relates.
During the winter of 1881 Mr.. Pow
ers was at Dead Rapids. 9. d. The
winter was one Of the coldest In the
history Of the state. the blizzard
raging for months. completely tearing
up railroad traffic and keeping the
folks good deal indoors Fuel and
provisions ran low. especially the
former. and wood sold as high as s25
per cord.
AT Dell Rapids a paper was pub
lished. The Exponent. and 1t had an
editor who was hustler. He boasted
that blizzard or no blizzard his paper
should not miss an issue. The frigid
weather knocked railroad traffic IN
the head. as stated. SO 1t was with
difficulty that the editor received the
paper to print his publication on. FIN
ally there came day when the store
of white paper gave out. SO he went
to printing on wrapping paper, but
that also was exhausted in time. The
editor was not to be dauntod. He de-
cided that he would try cloth. SO he
purchased about a couple of hundred
OF cotton handkerchiefs and ran them
through the press. As the result The
Exponent came out printed on the
handkerchief. perhaps the only pc
riodical that was ever ished that
way.

The Youngstown Telegram Is work.
ing itself into fever of excitement
and self-laudatlon over the proposition
to amend the City Commissioner law.
One would be led to suppose the Tele.
gram beneficiary of the City Com.
missioners there Says the Telegram:
Youngstown's example in declaring
for the Pugh-INibler bill is attracting
attention all over the State and has
given the champions of that measure
much encouragement, The proposi-
tion to convene the Legislature in spe.
cial session, too, is favored by repre-
sentative newspapers of the State.
Why shouldn't the Pugh-kibler bill,
or something like it, be made law?
Who is opposing the measure? 1t is
said that the Cincinnati delegation Is
opposed and is doing everything possi-
bic to kill the measure. Are we going
to permit Cincinnati to dictate to the
entire State of Ohio? Are We going to
continue placing unconstitutional
measures on the statutes just because
somebody at Cincinnati is afraid of
being disturbed?
The Akron ripper will not become a
law and should not, Akron begins to
recognize tnat fact now that Youngs-
town has gone on record. Why should
not the four representatives of the two
counties unite In declaring for the
Pugh-Kibler billy The same energy in
working for that measure as was dis
played in trying to pass the Akron rip
per would have practical results. Why
not try It?

IL right and the argument by which
The Beacon Journal supports it Is
sound in every particular. We have

so, without regard to what party may

simple right, guaranteed by every
thing that can appeal to the sense OF
justice. and without which the Civil
war was failure and Its enormous
loss of life and treasure without OK

that tho recent action of the caucus

the purpose of side.tracklng the whole
affair.
Investigating Committees seldom do
anything, Just ms Councils of war

no new light on II state OF affairs
