devoted little space to dead-beat adj
yertisers. 1t warns newspaper publish

g. Robbins, Brooklyn, N. y.
We can speak emphatically concern
ing Ash & Robbins, who are the most
persistent dead beats on the list. We
received very plausible offer from
them last February, but having been
yictimized several years ago by them,
while publishing paper in Minnesota,
We didn't bite this time. We observe,
however, that number of our ex-
changes are carrying a couple of medi-
clue advertisements for them. Better
throw them ont, boys; you will never
receive cent of pay. Our experience
with foreign advertisers has led us to
adopt an infiexible rule of never insert
ing an advertisem ent unless accompa
nied by the cash, and we advise our
brethren Of the craft to adopt the same
they would avoid being imposed

There is talk now of an extra session
of the Legislature. That body does
nothing during a session Of sixty days,
and wants more time to idle away, at
the expense Of the taxpayers. Ii an
amendment to the constitution, abol-
ishing the legislature, were submitted
to the taxpayers, it would be adopted
almost unanimously.
