I —John Wanamaker believes in i advertising, and no doubt his great success MS a merchant is due to his I liberal patronage to the newspapers. He has made a contract with one of 1 Philadelphia's leading daily papers for an entire page for one year, for | which he will pay 8100,00. If any of our advertisers are contemplating having a whole page in the News Item reserved for their use, we will gladly furnish them space for a trifle less than Wanamaker pays. We do not know what this world would come to if the people would all condemn a man as unfit for public office because lie, through the practice of economy and hard labor has laid aside a few hundred dollars. That is the only fault Chairman Scouten can tind against the Repub lican candidates, and on this score is heaping no end of abuse übon them. There is not the slightest doubt but that Scouten is worth more (Ilnantially) than all three of the candidates lie is howling about. Why then all this abuse ? In a campaign where men are to be elected to offices of great impor tance, the question as to what a man is worth (if he conies honestly by it) is not to be considered an issue, and we repeat our quotation in the Ili-rald , that a poor fund is collected for the purpose of those who are de pendant on the public, and that competent, reliable men, men who have made a success of their own business, are the people to be prefer ed for officers. This is no reflection that a poor man is not entilted to an office, if competent. We simply say IT /SAO ISSIK. The.
