METROPOLITAN JOURNALISM
IN PENSACOLA.

The Journal cannot help feeling
proud of its Sunday edition to-day as
well as of the record breaking paper
which it issued every day during the
past week.
The pages Of The Journal are of
standard size-the same size as those
of the metropolitan dailies in the
great cities-and page for page they
contain matter equal in quality, we
believe, as well as in quantity with
those of the big city dailies.
1t costs The Journal as much to
prepare page in its mechanical de
partment as it does the New York
Herald or the New Orleans Times
Democrat. The pages are all made

that the prisoners were now Obliged
to battle regularly and to don might
gowns before turning in at nights.
An Aragon Aneedote.
ApropOs of this item, a rather anus
ing incident took place the other nigh;
in the AragOn. An old gentleman
whose head is very bald and who's
soul has been made scoTnfuIly incred
ulous by long experience in the sor.
of politics called "practical"-in re
ferring to this article, was heard u
say to a party of friends:
Il could have swallowed all the rest,
because l know that the present les
sees, and the people in Tallahassee
have really done wonders for the con-
victs; but that about finding them
night gowns is a little too much.
Next thing they will be trying TO make
us believe that every fellow sent I'D
for coveting his neighbOr's goods. IS
supplied with pajamas, finger bowls
and a fan
But the good old man was. for once
in his life, mistaken. He was simply
led astray by the manner in which
the Times-UniOn article was worded.
If, instead of might gowns the arti-
Gle had simply gone 10 say that the
prisoners are obliged TO battle fire.
quently and to change their clothes be-
fore going to bed, the statement
would doubtless have seemed quite
reasonable to our irascible old friend
Of the AragOn.
As a matter of fact. the cOnyicrs
are now all supplied with night gowns.
And why not? That garment is nOth-
ing more nor less than a might shirt.
and there is really nothing more pro
posterous about a might shirt than
a day shirt
A Purely Practical Proposition.
The reason for this provision by the
present. lessees is obvious enough. 9
