support Of the measure 10 advertise sherilis'
and other legal sales, etc, in tho news
papers,
The Telephone has had very little to say
about the advertising bill pending in the
legislature-providing for the publication Of
certain legal notices in newspapers-for the
simple reason that it coubted whether any
thing it might say would have material
weight in the estimation of the average leg
lslator. There are too many Senator
Houstons and Representative Todds
in the body of law makers ut
Austn-men who are indisposed to
concede 10 the press :any integrity OF SINGER
iiy of motiye-for u newspaper TO waste its
time 10 arguments or demonstrations show
ing tho sdVissbility of this or that measure.
We took occasion long ago to point out TO
the senator and representative from this dis
trict the necessity as we conceived for such Il
law. But we have never bored them with
the subject. They are sensible, intelligent
men and VIC believe they will do what is
right We feel sure that public sentiment
in this section will endorse the passage of the
law. The people have had ample ,0pportu-
nifty TO note the defects of the present post
ing" system, and We are heartily Disguised
with the way il works. We notice that
the bill, although hampered with
some rather questionable amend
menls, has made favorable progress
and has a fair prospect Of becoming law.
We hope it will do so, believing it u measure
mutually advantageous TO debtor and
creditor, as well as the general public.
Senator Houlton's charge, that it is solely
in the interest Of newspapers, is rs untenable
as 1t is unjust, aud if he were to investigate
the subject more carefully, we believe he
would change nis opinion. OF course the
pres will not be disposed to decline any
legitimate business accruing to il under tho
operations of the law, but it is fortunate that
more than one newspaper in this state has
demonstrated its ability to live, and make "a
tolefablo good living, too, under the opera
general public, more nan re newspapers,
that is interested in the bill coming law.
The Houston Post, which is always a well
come visitor TO our sanctum, because it not
only is ever brim(u Of news, local and from
throughout tho state, but us well, invariably
contains in its editorial columns matter
pleasant to read and Instructive, says tho fol-
lowing kind words of the HERALD, which are
greatly appreciated:
