paper is to appear Jan. the 23rd.
He has shown great good sense
in namiid it the Commonier. He
has sho*n far greater wisdon in
choosing the county papers of
the country as mediums of ad
vertising. But his terms of ad
vertising are like his silver-free.
We are not in the business.
]!aZBY position of public hohor
has its dishonor side. Young
men stand competitive examina
tions for scholarship and have
their names publish'ed widely.
The Eame papers convey their
failures if any. West Point has
just had its mid-winter shipping
for deficiencies and two South
Carolina boys return to their
homes,
Irla a dangerous thing for an
editor to take any financial risks
--the running of a newspaper is
risky enough-but as for us we
are gding to risk an extension of
taxes next December. True the
interest on a one-dollar poll tax
editors don't pay other taxes
for one or two months is a very
small item, but then money saved
as money made. We feel sure
that-the legislators it1 indulging
timennals will also indulge us.

The great dra*-back to our e

They must be chosen in a non

also be commensurate with theiu

The time is now ripe for posi

fall upon stony ground.
THE NEWS AND HERALT's sug
gestion that the jail be removed
to a more private place has mel
with approval by many. .The
publicity of the location and the
depreciation of near-by property
are strong enough reasons foi
this step to be taken. Two good
additional reasons are worthy o~
the closest consideration.
The first of these is the imper
fect sanitation that must neces
sarily exist on account of the un
suitableness of the building foi
the purpose for which it is used.
The cramped quarters also in
which the building is located
do not admit of the proper
sanitation on the outside. The
purposes of a prison are effected
oy confinement, and the subject
ing of them to unnecessary pun
ishment in the matter of health
is wholly criminal on the part
of the county.
The danger also that may arise
in the time of fire is a good rea
son why the property should be
located to itself. Should adjacen'
property catch fire the prisoners
would have to suffer the torture
of anxiety.as to their safety, or
they would have to be removed
from the jail.- Should the latter
be necessary, they would stand a
fine chance of getting loose.
All in all the argument is
wholly in favor of sellhng the jail.
The whole matter is referred to
the grand jury for the earliest
possible action.
