HURON RECORD.
CLINTON, FtiIvAF, MAY11TII, 1F81,
COUNTRY YS. 012'Y .':RESTS.
One wouIdhave thought sontetime ago
that there was quiteenough newspapers in
Toronto but it seemsghat szlcll has not
been the case, as theltecil has started
a new evening edition to be inciepend-
cut in politics. The Irorlcl, which was
formerly an evening paper now comes
out in the morning in consequence..
The 7'eleyvana will shortly comp out in
the morni..g also. Concerning these
"city papers," The Lindsay Warder
conies out boldly last week, in defence
of the country press. From the very
low rate at which the ,.hail is sold; it is
indeed difficult in some communities
for the county conservatives;papors to
compete against it. There are however,.
many advantages in favor, of the local
papers, for instance the market reports,
council sleeting proceedings; county
local news, announcements, reports of
meetings, and a great deal of other
matter which the city papers would not
,pretend to give. 'Again„ the city paper
is not particularly interested in one
county more than all. others, whereas.
the local paper is chiefly interested in
the country wherein it is published,
€ oncerning the rate of subscription
we often hear it said that the .flail is
cheaper and a far better paper; • but
cheaper? Sithply because. the.
• 11 tckly .hail is made up from the..D. rily
..trail matter, and it therefore is very,
little trouble to put the weekly edition
together. In fact the 11ltti1 company.
c eu 11 as well afford to give -the weekly
for fifty cents as the country papers_
c.t at the rate they are giving them..
J is conclusion, wo think it• would be a;
good idea for the newspaper men of•
1 Iuron. to-'xoid a meeting, art. some :cer-
tain
eel-:tain place, for . the purpose, not -'only .
•; stl}iking at proper rates, of subscr-ig,r..
tirru for our local papers, but also .for'
r;!, printing.

R: Jonj. ROSEPEAR, M. P; P: for
st Durham,died at his residence in
Hope, on Thursday of las ;•• week:
deceased was a popular member

lic speaker. He was first returned
arliawent in 1875. In politics'
was a staunch conservative. •
THE election of Mr..FJrouter, the Gen-'
fart who was the subject of the
teat reaction " in East Northumer-
Is, is to be protested. It seems the

of public morality, &c."
The Toronto burglars don't seem to
