The Washington correspondent Of the
Cheney Iritsne wrote that paper a. fol-
lows ON the 18th ult.:
The great topic Of interest to your
people is the bill for the admission of
Washington as ono Of the sisterhood of
States. Already has Mr.. Brents been at
work perfectlnR the plans by which he
has reasonable hopes of success. The
Dakota bill vas mp m the Senate today,
bat no final action was taken on it.
But az soon asothat is disposed of, the
committee has given Mr.. Brents every
assurance that the bill for the admis-
sion OF Washington will b taken up
and acted on. Should it pass the Sen
ate, and Mr.. Bfents get the floor of the
House to call It up as substitute for
the House bill already reported favor
ably on, and now on the House calep-
dar, there is little doubt of success. If,
however, the bill for Dakota fails In the
Senate, the chances are that the WASH
ington Territory bill will fail. and then
the effort this session will be abandoned.
Mr.. Brents il moving every nerve to ac-
complish the passage of the bill, and
hopes for success, as he has abundance
of aid In the Senate; but legislation OF
all character. except, of course, the reg
uiar necessary appropriation bills, Is
very, very problematical.

Does Advertising Pay ?

1t is sometimes questioned by
merchants whether advertising pays.
The question will hardly bear dis
cussion in the light of the following
facts, rates of transient advertising
being figured {: The Chicago Tribune
it is said, for a column a year, re-
ceives $4,000. The New York
Herald receives. flor its lowest priced
column s39,723, and for its highest
s34S,000. The New York Tribune,
for the lowest, s29,764, and for its
highest sS5,64S, and these papers
are never at a loss for advertisements
to fill their columns. The patron
age comes not from any desire to
assist the respective papers, but
from business men who find it prof
liable to advertise. The sensible
business man does not consider
whether he likes the paper he adj
vertises in or not. What he wants
to know is, in what paper shall l
insert my advertisement so that it
will reach the greatest number of
readers. 1t does not take long to
find out by experience where it
pays them best to advertise. That
it does pay they have no doubt, and
raise no questions. Long expert
ence with almost every business
man who has succeeded has proved
that beyond question.-Printers'
Circular.
