THE LAW REGULATING LEGAL AD.
vERTISlN6.

Noah Karr's friends are misrepre-
senting the law regarding legal adver-
ting, by saying that the reason Karr
did not give the Tax Notice to TIE
PRESS to publish and save on this sin
gle advertisement nine-three dollars
and eignty-one cents was because the
law directs that it shall be published
in one Democratic and one Republi-
can paper. The law says no such
thing; it says that ''ifthe commission
ers deem it proper, shall be published
in two newspapers, one of each politi-
cal party" Every body knows that
the National Greenback party is a po-
litical party, and Noah Karr and his
friends knows it, but they have to
make some excuse for this whole sale
squandering Of the public money.
Here is the law:
