DAILY RECORDER.
TO BE ISSUED TUESDAY, SEPT. 16.
The proprietor of the RECxiitDF.il Lav-
tog been many times solicited daring tbe
past year to issue a daily paper, and be
lieving that tbe time baa come when
Americas can give a living support
■aob a paper, bos oonolnded to mako
o times of tbe city, and if sufficient sup
port is guaranteed tbe Recorder will be
iiaued as a Daily on and after Tuesday,
Sept. lOtb, being iaaned every morning
except Monday.
Tbe paper will be a six column folio,
the present size ef tbe Tri-Weekly, and
tbe price will be Fifty Cents per month,
payable monthly. While it will not con
tain full Associated Frees telegraphic re
ports, we expect to mako arrangements
by which all events of special importance
will be sent as special telegrams.
Jn taking this step we are fully aware
Of tbe additional exponso and labor in<
volved, and have no hope of realizing ary
Immediate profit from tbe venture,
wo ask is sufficient support to pay its
way. We believe that tbe publ ication of
• daily paper in Americus will be of great
benefit to tbo city in a number of ways.
It will prove of great convenience to our
merchants, of interest to tbe pooplo gen
erally, and serve to give our city a greater
reputation abroad for enterprise and pros
perity. But we do not intend to advsnoe
any argument in favor of it. Our propo
sition is purely a business one. If the
people of Amerlous waut a daily papor,
we aro prepared to givo them ono; If they
do not, we do notfearo to force one upon
thorn.
Our canvasser will call upon onr peo
ple during tho week to receive their sub
scriptions and advertisements, and we
hope all will give him a prompt answer
—yes or no—os tbe time is limited and
be cannot enter into arguments.
In caso tbo Daily is startod, the Tri
Weekly will be discontinued.

TOE STATE DEBT.
Some newspapers seem to be
alarmed because the State debt
becomes due in 1886 and 1889,and
there is met enough mopey to, tbe
treasury to p%f it. They atgt*
therefrom that the State must sell
its railroad property and astess
bigb taxes in order to pay it. This
does not necessarily follow, oa the
debt can be easily refunded at a'
lower rate of interest, and there Is
no necessity of increasing tbe rate
of taxation for that purpose. It
may be that this agitation is made
in the interest of parlies^who de
sire to secure llie State railroad at
a small sum.

New Jersey defaulting bank of
ficers are quite sensitive—in fact,
fatally so. Cashier Hiil, of the
New Brunswick National Bank,
got to speculating with the bank
funds, and of course, proved to be
defaulter in a Urge amount.
Forthwith Cashier Hill cuts his
throat from car to car. This oc
curred last Saturday. On Monday
President Ilunyon, of tbe same
bank, after reading in a New York
paper that be (the President) was
mixed lip in the fraud, went into a
room in the hank building and
severed his jugular. One of the
Directors, on being asked what he
knew about the alfair, fainted and
fell down on the sidewalk, and was
carried home unconscious. An
other director fainted, and it was
reported that a third director had
committed suicide. This is a
healthy sign, and had all these
officers cut their tbroat9 beloie
stealing the depositors’ money, it
would have been better all round.

The prohibition amendment to
the constitution, ratified liy the
peoplo of Maine Monday, forever
forbids the manufacture and sole
