The mere insertion of an adver
tisement in any newspaper, is not
all there is to successful advertising.
Tin; newspaper selected may have a
large circulation, yet the advertisement
may prove of less actual value than
one inserted in a' paper of smaller cir
culation, but which has qualities not
possessed by the laiger one.
Every advertiser cannot pay for a
selected space, still every advertiser
wants and expects his advertisement
. i .. ...! ...... , I ., 1;. ......
i.u ne ht-i-ii Jinu juuu, no matiui wuvjje
it is placed or what its size may be.
Aii advertiser is interested in not only
the number but the class of readers hi
'advertisement reaches. It is import
ant to him that his advertisement is
not surrounded by other advertise
ments which offer the same goods or
which are of questionable character.
The success of the Lkadkk 'is in a
reat measure due to the great care it
takes of every advertiser The extra
quality of paper, of ink, and type used
in the make-up of the paper gives it a
pronounced appearance, and one which
attracts ' attention everywhere. The
Lkadkk claims for every advertisement
in its columns some distinctive feature
which attracts the reader. It also
claims a class of advertisers whose
names an; a guarantee of themselves,
and who sell as they advertise.
The great" advantage the Leadku
possesses to advertisers of articles of
merit, is. the fact of its being all Imme
joint, with entirely new, fresh reading
matter every " week, which brings it
before a class of live readers who are
tip with the times, noting carefully
both the news and advertisements.
The Leader is the only newspaper
published in its city and county, has a
large circulation in the metropolis of
North Carolina, twenj,y-five miles dis
tant, and outside of the daily news
papers has a wider and larger circula
tion than any other strictly weekly
newspaper in the State.
It is all and more than it claims,
and advertisers appreciate tlie merits
as a circulating medium, claimed and
possessed, by the Leader.
DEPARTMENT OF REWARDS
No other" government department
can poi it to so many and such flagrant
abuses as are known in the Postoffice
Department. From the appointment
of its head, for efficient services ren
dered, to the present day, there has
been little to praise and much to con
demn. -
It has been essentially a department
for profit and reward, the profit on
w v tuu s . viiv vt iiiiiiiLi attutl LllU 1 15-
ward of office to those who by ''meri
torious services' advanced the inter
ests of the administration. The cry
of civil service reform which the ad
ministration so zealously preached,but
utterly ignored in practice in the Post
- office Department, is one of the sins
of commission which cannot be ex
plained away on any grounds.
The most notorious instance of this
is the case of the Baltimore Postoffice
. last Spring, where .the postoffice in
lluence was used in the election and
political assessments made on the em
ployes. .Investigations are now being
made as to these violations of the law
and the testimony and facts in the
case are decidedly against the Post-
master General, although he claims it
is a case of bulldoze of the Baltimore
officials by the Civil Service Commis
sion. This case has been ignored by
the Department for a year, although
reporter at the time by the Coramis
sion for action according to the law.
The quibble made bv the Postmaster
. 1 . . , .
General indicates that he wishes to
evade carrying out the law on those
guilty, simply because the vrolaters
of the latv were working in the inter-
q tiie: publican party. If there
. ' , - , .
is an instance of civil service reform
5,1 tlie .? ostal service in the South it has
,
never l;en made public. I he single
purpose' of the Postoffice Department
in its dealing with the SoJth seems
j0 u; for administrative strength re
gardless of the wishes of the majority
of the people of the community. Ap
pointments are made on the basis of
the patronage which can be secured,
especially so during the last few
months, since the time was drawing
near when the present administration
would need an -'endorsment" from its
"friends"' in the South. The threaten
ed discontinuance of j the fast mail
service from Boston to jTampa, Flori
da, which has been and is now of most
vital importance " to the. South, is an
other disgraceful act of the Postoffice
Department.even if the service be con
tinued. The agitation and talk on the
subject, engineered by the Postmaster
General, has been injurious in its ef
fect, as it has revived in many quar
ters the remark "That anything is
good enough for the South," and con
sequently many who might otherwise
have come South to settle, would, be
deterred from coming to a section
which was discriminated against in
such an important service as that of
the Postoffice Department. Mr. Wan
amaker is. too good a business man to
believe that the economy practiced in
the discontinuance of the fast mail
service South is an economical meas
ure which in any way commensurates
for the loss of this important service,
therefore one must look further to see
the real animus of the threatened
danger. (Jan it be laid to "political
expediency.'' that undebatable admin
istrative refuge? The contemptible
self-satisfaction of being a law unto
limself, seems to prevail among the
leads of each department, as is exhi
bited by the petty actions of a Service
which ought to be in sympathy with
and strive for the best interests of all
classes.
A notable instance of this petty in
tolerance is the case of the New York
weekly periodical, Printers Ink,
which for several months past has
joen ruled against as second-class
matter in the mails, and is compelled
to pay third rate postage on its edi
tion. The. law in the matter is plain.
mt for reasons best known to the
Postofiice Department no satisfaction
js given to the protests of the editors
of this paper, or explanations vouch
safed for the Department's act of per
secution, in debaring it from the
nfails as second-class matter,' without
hearing.
The spirit uniformly manifested
by the Postoffice Department has been
extremely partisan, with a decided
prejudice against the South. Any
liberality displayed has been on poli
tical grounds, with the idea of a hun
dred fold return in benefits and credit
to the head cf the Department. A
Government department which affects
every busines
s, profession, and trade
instead of bei
ng used for the people
and their best interests, has been
made a political machine to . hold to
gether a vast army of contributors to
administrative wishes. The impres
sion of Postmaster General AVana
maker, as a Cabinet - officer, is aptly
described in the following opinion as
expressed by Mr. William D. Foulke,of
Indiana, chairman of the special com
mittee of the Civil Service Reform
League for the investigation of the
Federal Civil Service.' Mr. Fotjlke
says :
-I think that the appointment and
retention of Mr. Wanamaker has been
the darkest stain upon the present ad
ministration. ; in his appointment
Mr. Harrison conducted American
politics to a depth of degradation
hitherto unknown. Prior to Harri
son's campaign, Vanamaker's politi
cal l'ecord was entirely obscure. He
had been a successful Philadelphia
shopkeeper, not conversant with pub
lic affairs, whose antecedents as well
as his subsequent conduct showed his
absolute unfamiliarity with public
matters. To one reason and one only
couia ins appointment be ascribed,
namely, to the collection of a vast
fund, amounting to several hundred
thousand dollars, in the Harrison
campaign. Wanamaker would never
have been thought of except for these
nnancial services.
ELEMENTAL ENERGY.
How long the earth can sustain life
is a question which is often discussed
by scientists. It has been pointed out
that multitudes of races of animals
have had their little day and vanished,
and that human species need not ex
pect to enjoy perennial existeuce:while
as opposed to this it is argued that
man's intelligence may enable him to
avert what seems to be a universa
fate. The exhaustion of coal would
not, of course, mean the end of the
human race, for man lived for tens of
thousands of years before he learned
how to use coal; and the radiation
from the sun, if it could be garnered
I
up and employed directly as heat and
indirectly as a source of power, would
be capable of supplying every con
ceivable want of humanity for ages.
It is, however, obvious that the pos
sibility of the continued existence of
the human race! depends fundamen
tally upon the question of heat; and
there is, therefore, no shirking the j
fact that if heat,: or what is equivalent j
to heat, shall not last, neither will man
last. . ,
In the current number of the tort.
nightly Review Sir Robert Ball.the En.
glish astronomer, in an article on this
subject, argues that, outside of the
sun's action, the few other direct or
ndirect sources of heat which might
be relied upon lack the necessary per-
manence. ine sun, according to feir
iobert,contains just a certain number
of units of heat, actual or potential,
and this is at present being shed
around with the most appalling extra v
agance. i ro lessor Langiey savs
that there is in Pennsylvania enough
coal to supply the wants of the United
States for a thousand years; and yet
if it should be extracted and burned
in one vast conflagration all the heat
developed would not be equal to that
which the sun pours forth in the
thousandth part of each single sec
ond. There is, it is tiue, no reason for a
belief that there is the slightest differ
ence between the radiance which the
sun shed on the earth thousands of
years ago and that which warms us
to-day, or that climate changes have
been caused by an alternation i in the
rate at which the sun diffuses heat;
and yet the conclusion is forced upon
us that the incessant radiation from
he sun must be producing a profound
effect upon its stores of energy. It
was long a mystery how the sun could
retain its heat so as to continually
supply its great rate of expenditure;'
and the suppositions that would most
naturally occur were found to be in
sufficient. Helmholtz, however, has
solved the long-vexed problem. The
sun is a gaseous body, not a solid ;and
while a solid body loses temperature
as it loses heat, a gaseous Lbody does
not. And it may happen that the
very fact that the sun is losing heat
may be the cause of its actually gain
ing in temperature and becoming hot
ter. Sir Robert Ball, however, reaches
the conclusion that then? will come a
time when the temperature of the sun
will decline and that ultimately ex
haustion will follow. The utmost
amount of heat that it would ever
have been possible for the sun to have
contained would supply its radiation
for 18,000,000 years at the present
rate of diffusion. It has already dis
sipated about four.fifths of the energy
with which it was originally endowed ;
and it is, therefore, admitted that the
sun may hold out: for 4,000,000 or
5,000,000 years, but not for 10,000,
000 years. : Science and Lieutenant
Totten are thus at wide disagreement.
