Could bn Arrested for Theft.
When a gentleman slops Mi paper, he
generally pays up baok subscriptions, and
though the publisher may regret to loose
him, some other will soon take his place.
Hut the editor never forgets the man who
writes "stop my paper," and don't pay up.
If all newspapers would publish the names
of such people there would bo some small
men. who now sail as the model of all
that's honorable. A newspaper Is not run
for one Individual, as It has thousands of
readers, and what displeases one will please
another. But the man who writes "stop
my paper," and don't paj up only wants a
chance to be displeased, and the quickest
way to do It Is to send him a statement of
what be owes. But the publisher could If
so minded have Mm arrested for theft.

To the Editor of this Advocate:
In the Coal Gazette of Sept. 12th som
one.evldeutlv hired for thatpurpose.under
takes to give sketches of the several re
publican candidates of or on the county
ticket, and among them Levi Horn gets
qutte a puff upon the ground that he be
longed to the Horn family which was very
numerous in the county. The writer says
he does not know whether or not ho Is re
lated lo all the Horns In tho county but It
will go without saying that around about
election time is tho t lino oyer and above
all other times when the candidates for
office usually looks up his relations. Now
it Is true the Horns are pretty numerous,
but they aro net of Levi's kind In politics,
they belong to the. good old stocft, and
voting tho Democratic ticket, and unless
Levi can show that ho is right In changing
from the faith of rectltudoand conslstencv
and that all tho other Horns are wrong In
their political faith, ho need not trouble
himself about calling around about elec
tion time asking for their support any
other time will do just as well. It Is eome
what singular the write! of this history
could not toll whether Levi was lelaled to
the many Horns or not, but he can tell tbe
lav and year l,evi was born on, 1 pre
sume Levi did not iike to talk loo much
about degeneracy ami vuciialton. 1 am
glad to be able to say that the Horns have
remained true to the faith, and I feel con
fident they will not falter this year and
vote as heretofore iho full Democratic
ticket and bear in mind that there Is a
hereafter.
J. OT-Sendel also comes In for a share of
praise, I presume the fellow made a full
dav at It. this writing up candidates
biography is sometimes very difficult. It
seems somewhat strange that these two
candidates are tarred with the same stick,
both renegades, only the year of J. O.'s
birth Is given, t preume he could not tell
or remember, hut born In Mahoning
Valley, and then goes on to sav that he
had Iwen for five years one of Carbon's
pedagogues In the lower end. I must give
Mr. Sendel credit for showing good sense
lu continuing to stick to the original way
ot writing his name and not Saxdki. as
some do. Mahoning Valley is somewhat
noted for demagogues and renegades, If
not for pedagogues am) pettifoggers. The
