GOOD POLICY IN ADVERTISING.

OoOD 4lN MI
The real estate dealers in Chicago
have been holding a meeting and fix.
ing up an organization that they call
union The main thing under dis
cussion at the meeting was the price
of advertising in the Chicago news
papers. 1t is very curious that the
dealers seemed to think that one news
paper was as good as another to ad.
vertise in, and that they should dis
criminate against those that charged
high prices. The fact that an adyer-
tisement in paper that charged
twelve and one-half cents per line
might be worth ten times as much to
the advertiser as if it were in a paper
charging four cents line, did not
seem to occur to the dealers, .A,ad
several of them aceTe so idiotic as to talk
Of running up the circulation of a ne,cs-
paper acih cheap a5vertising There
IS nothing that Kills newspaper as
fast as cheap Advertisements. They
fill up the space in which the paper
could be made interesting, and, being
unprefitable, the whole concern sinks.
The only healthy policy as TO charge a
good price for advertisements an pro
portion to circulation-that is, the nCm
Der of papers circulated, and the class
es of papers circulated, and the classes
of persons among ,ohom they are eirc,t-
lated-and thus obtain a large revenue
out otfa small space, and use the larg-
er portion of the paper. for reading mat
ter Of general interest, keeping up the
and Increasing Il, and Nth
il maintaining and advancing the calue
Of space. Tho sickliest and most hope
less printed sheets, by mistake called |
newspapers, are those in which there
are great masses of advertising, cheap
and nasty, tumbled in without order,
cared for by no one, and therefore
worthless.

PRESENT indications are, that, as
usual, a very large amount of the
most important business OF Congress
will be crowded into the last hours
of the session, and hurried through
with very little deliberation and still
less decOrum. Most of the Appro.
priation bills have as yet received
no consideration, the tax bill has
just got through the House, and no
plan has yet been adopted for the
reduction of the army. Under these
circumstances it would be quite a
relief to record something of note
being done in Congress, but the
record will not justify it.

The Senate has passed a bill to
legalize ten per cent. interest on
contracts, and it is now pending in
the House of Representatives. An
effort was made last Thursday to
pass the bill, and nearly the whole
day was spent in considering the
measure, when its friends discovered
that they were not strong enough to
secure IFS passage and therefore
postponed the subject until next
Thursday. 1t is very doubtful
whether the House will concur with
with the Senate in the passage of this
bill.
The Railroad bill, which passed the
House on Friday, is a measure Oi
the utmost Importance and should
become law. 1t provides that any
foreign corporation can lease the
property of any railroad company in
Ohio, and it also provides that they
can be sued in our courts after such
lease has been made in the same
manner as home companies. By this
bill the great eastern companies will
be enabled to arrange through lines
over Ohio territory, and keep up q
healthy competition in railroad traffic
On the passage of the bill in the
House there were only six gentlemen
opposed. So
