' 4Tne strong attachment of subscribers
to a well conducted newspaper is fully
confirmed by all publishers. 'Stop my
> I paper , ' words of dread to beginners in
business , lose their terrors after a pa
per has been established a few years.
So long as a paper pursues a just , hon
orable and judicious course , meeting
the wants of its customers in all res-
pcets , the ties of friendship between
the subscribers and the papers are as
hard to break by an outside third
party as the link which binds old
friends in business or social life. Oc
casional defects and errors in a news
paper are overlooked by those who
have become attached to it through its
perusal for years. They sometimes be
come dissatisfied with it on account of
something which has slipped into its
columns , and may stop talcing it ; but
the absence of the familiar sheet at
their homes and offices for a few weeks
becomes an insupportable privation ,
and they hasten to take it again , and
possibly apologize for having stopped
it. No friendship on earth is more
constant than that contracted by the
reader for a journal which makes an
honest and earnest effort to merit its
continued support. Hence , a conscien
tiously conducted , paper becomes a fa
vorite in the family. ' '
THE death of Horatio Seymour , which
occured at his home near Utica , N. Y. ,
on Friday , removes another prominent
participant in the struggle of the great
storm and stress period which ended
in the war for the Union. For more
than thirty years Mr. Seymour was a
leading figure in the politics of the
Empire state , respected for his abili
ties , admired for his political consisten
cy , and beloved by a wide and constant
ly increasing circle of friends for those
admirable qualities of heart and mind
which make up the .genial gentleman ,
steadfast friend and good citizen. Flis
unswerving fidelity to the Union made
itself powerfully felt in the opening
days of the rebellion. No northern
state responded mere promptly to the
call for troops than did New York , and
no republican governor entered with
more patriotic enthusiasm into the
work of upholding tiie principle of ini-j |
tinnal unity than Horatio Seymour.
He was nominated by his party for
president in 18(58 , but was defeated by
General Grant in the ensuing canvass.
Since that time Mr. Seymour took no
active part in politics , but resided quietly
on his farm at DeerfiJld , where lit ; died.
FOUR citizens of Atlanta have an
nounced their intention of 'goinj ; away
from there on account of the adoption
of prohibition. The news is scattered
all over the country. Hardly a paper
has failed to publish it. We arc also
informed that the combined wealth of
these four leading citizens is over a
million dollars , and they are going to
take every cent of it away with them.
It will be a terrible blow to the busi
ness interests of Atlanta , as all agree.
And , yet we "suppose these four citi
zens can be spared and the town still
live. They will not take away any
houses with them , nor streets , nor
sidewalks , nor bridges , nor railroads.
Even the cars that haul them off will
come back next day. They will sell
their property. Other citizens will buy
it. Their places will be taken , the
ranks of business , society and politics
will close right up and the four citizens
will not IJH missed. The city of Atlan
ta will not suffer so much of a blow af
ter all. Men coiiie and go. Imt the
world never tips up.
THE folly of appointing illiterate men
to office because they are supposed to
de good fellows and because somebody
would make their non-appointment the
excuse for a whine about the poor man's
not having any show has been illustrat D.
ed afresh in Carbon county. The
market clerk atMauch Chunk is a man
who cannot read writing and the clerk
of the Borough Council , to whom the
market clerk pays over the money col-
ected as market rents , has been s\'sto- In
natically giving him receipts for less
than the amount of each payment. It
s quite time that illiterate men were
kept out of public trusts when this
sort of thing occurs , as it is sure to do
occasionally. The facilties in this
ountry for learning to read and write
are so ample that no one is discriminat
ed against when public opinion makes
man virtually ineligible to office till
he can do so. Philadelphia Times.
Some one lias figured out tliat life is like
harness because it contains ' 'traces" of care ,
"line.- . " ' of trouble , ' 'bits' ' of good fortune ,

PEERLESS PREMIUNS.
Tho superb and costly premiums which tho
Beo offers to the patrons of its , weekly this
year , is unrivalled. The njgrogate value of
premiums is § 43,127.00. They comprise two
eighty ncrc farms in Iowa nnd Kansas , and
one forty acre farm in Nebraska ; farmlnffina-
chinery and implements , nmoujr which arc one
J. I. Case thresher with 12-horse power , com
plete ; one new McCormick steel harvester
and binder ; one six-hole geared mountain
shelter and horse power ; und more than CO
farm mills.corn-shellers and plows , varying in
value from S8.00 to § 173 each. There are mu
sical instruments , including one Emerson up
right grand piano , worth $800.00 , live stock ,
household goods , silverware , cutlery , guns ,
knives , books , etc.
The award of premiums will be made Satur
day , March 115th. 18SU , by a committee selected
by the subscribers , whomay be present at the
distribution.
There will positively be no postponement.
A premium worth at retail , at least one dol
lar , is guaranteed to every subscriber who re
mits two dollars before the 13th of March.
This is neither a new nor experimental
scheme , but will be our sixtli successive an
nual premium distribution , the flrst having1
taken place in the winterer 1879-1880.
While it may seem incredible that we can
afford to furnish a metropolitan weekly for
two dollars a year , give to every subscriber a
premium worth at least one dollar , and to in
clude among these premiumsscveral hundred
articles valued at from five dollars to one
thousand dollars each , we are in condition to
honestly carry out every promise or obliga
tion which wo assume and still derive fair re
turns from the paper. Nearly all the large
premiums were secured in exchange for ad
vertising. The most costly articles we have
traded for so far as to involve only a compar
atively small outlay in cash. For instance
our lands were bought of the J.I. Case Thresh
ing Machine Company and they take out * 1,000
of the purchase price in advertising. The
same is true of the Case threshing machine ,
for which we pay less than one-fourth of the
retail priceiu cash and balance in advertising.
Many other machines we have on this list are
purchased without paying out any money.
The minor premiums , such as books , albums ,
cutlery , plated spoons , etc. , are bought in very
large quantities at wholesale prices and with
liberal discounts. The margin between what
we pay out for premiums , postage and inci
dental expenses is large enough to leave us a
fair subscription price for the paper. Our
list contains the names of thousands of sub
scribers who have patronized us for many
years. They attest that we have kept faith
with our patrons and enjoy their full confi
dence.Ve could not afford to do otherwise.
The Uee is now in its fifteenth year , and its
founder and editor during all these years is
also the principal proprietor. He has n repu
tation at stake , and could not be a party to a
disreputable or fraudulent scheme without
being ruined , und destroying his paper which
now occupies the front rank in western
journalism.
The subscription price of theVeekiy 15ee
with premium is two dollars per annum.
Direct your remittance by money order or
registered letter to "The Uee Publishing Co. , "
Omaha , Nebraska , who will forward a num
bered premium receipt which will be register-
ed in our premium book. Kiich suliM-rihor
