we found widely different plan pre-
vailing. The local columns are made
the dumping place of free advertis-
ing matter, from numerous sources,
and printers are decrying the
decadence of the business which they
have helped to debase and destroy.
Not only has the advertising patron
age been curtailed, but the job
printing department has suffered
sympathetically as it were. If the
promoters of festival can get the
same advertised for nothing, as
legitimate news matter, they are
apt to forgo the expense of posters
and other requisites in the printing
line. In other words, they depend
entirely on the free advertising.
The printer is used to help rake in
the dimes for every money raising
scheme that comes along, and he
gets nix for his trouble. Nay, worse
than this, the standing notice in the
columns of our cotemporary carries
the impression that the editor is
actually the favored party, and
ought to be thankful for an adver-
tisement disguised under the label of
"news item, one insertion. The
Ledger is as well able to stand this
pernicious, unbusiness-like method
as its contemporaries. But we do
not propose to do so. Our cotem-
porary can keep his dishonorable
trade flag Haunting before the
public if he pleases, but we prefer
the path of self-protection, and will
hereafter draw the blue pencil
through the ''free advertisement"
schemes, subject only to the excep-
tions herein referred to.

The coronation ceremonies of king
Edward VII. have been Indefinitely
postponed on account of the alarm
ing illness of the king. The disease
was an acute attack of appendicitis,
necessitating dangerous surgical
operation, which was successfully
performed last Tuesday. The chan
ces of the royal patients recovery
are slim. The whole British en-
pire is shadowed in gloom over this
sudden transition from festivity to
mourning.

A twenty per cent tariff eonces-
sion to Cuba is a gracious Gift of
eight millions of dollars year to
the new republic from the United
States. In view of the fact that we
have already given the Cubans lib
erty, wiped out their debt, cleaned
their cities, established order and
started their government to run
ming, it might be considered by some
conservative people that we have
done about enough without giving
the twenty per cent concession. -

THE PRIOR CONVICTIONS.

The Stockt ton dailies, desirous of
correcting the erroneous impression
that had been created by the publ
cation of statement that the prior
convictions were proved against
Macquarrie at his recent trial in
Jackson, published our article in full
explaining the matter. The Mail,
however, takes the opportunity of
making the following comment:
In this defense of Macquarrie the
Ledger itself acknowledges that he
was convicted in San Francisco.
The fact that he was released on
habeas corpus may indicate that he
was not guilty, and it may not so in
dicate. Occasionally habeas corpus
proceedings are brought on the
ground that the evidence was in
sufficient, but generally the point
raised is that there was some defect
in the legal method of procedure.
This is hardly fair. When a de-
fendant is released on habeas corpus
proceedings, after conviction, it
shows that he was not legally con-
victed. The jury that was called
upon to pass on these prior convic-
tions said they were untrue. This
conclusion was reached on the
strength of the documentary evil
dence presented to them. On this
verdict Macquarrie is entitled to all
presumptions of innocence, the same
as though he had never been con-
victed or accused of the petty
crimes charged.

THE democrats are saying that if
they get sound platform and then
have all the divisions of the party
vote for it they may win at the next
national election. This is like the
Irish doctor who remarked that if
the patient lived until morning he
might pull through; but if he did not
there was no hope for him. Camden

Spring Fever.

Spring fever is another name for
biliousness. 1t is more serious than
most people think. a torpid liver and
inactive bowels mean a poisoned sys-
tenn. If neglected, serious illness NAV
follow such symptoms. DeWitt's
Little Early Risers remove all danger
by stimulating the liver, opening the
bowels and cleansing out the system of
impurities. Safe pills. Never grippe.
Il have taken DeWitt's Little Early
Risers for torpid liver every spring for
years." writes R. M. EVERY, Mounds
vile, w. Va. They do me more good
than anything l have ever tried.

A Real Friend.

Il suffered from dyspepsia and ill.,
digestion for fifteen years." says W. T.
Sturdevant of Merry Oaks, N. G.
"After l had tried many doctors and
medicines to no avail one of my friends
persuaded me to try Kodol. 1t gave
immediate relief. I can eat almost
anything l want now and my diges-
tion is good. l cheerfllly recommend
Kodol." Don't try to cure stomach
trouble by dieting. That only further
weakens the system. You need whole
some. strengthening food. Kodol en-
ables you to assimilate what you eat by
digesting it without the stomach's aid.

THE Republicans of congress
should resist all efforts at tariff
smashing. The people want stabil-
ity, certainty, prosperity. Let the
would-be tariff tinkers howl to their
hearts content. They are either
seeking political advantage or are
clinging to their pet free trade
ideas, which have brought ruin
whenever allowed to prevail. New
