Premiums and Reductions.

We have received within the past two weeks
numerous propositions to club the ADVOCATE
with other journals and magazines for the
year 1886. All Of these propose to make a
large reduction in subscription price, expect
ing the ADVOCATE to do the same. Some,
too. send premiums to each yearly subscriber.
We have deposited in the waste-basket all
such propositions To conduct the ADVOCATE
requires all the capacity and energy the pro-
prietors possess, and we have no time to at
tend to the business of other journals, nor any
inclination We endeavor to make the AID
vocATE complete news, family and political
paper. We endeavor to publish all the news,
local, state and general, and the ADVOCATE
needs no adjunct or supplement in the form
of other publications.
There is much in the daily press that does
not find its way into the ADVOCATE, for we do
not regard it as interesting or instructive. So
great is the competition among the leading
dailies to publish news. that much is gathered
up and published that ought to be ignored.
The ADVOCATE prints only what is real news
not gossip, details of divorce suits, and stuff
of that sort, which occupies so large space
in the daily press.
For the Preside it gives poetry, short stories,
descriptive articles, notes of travel, and
large amount of miscellaneous reading.
In politics, it discusses the leading cues
tons of the day, and keeps its readers posted
upon all important understanding with
principles rather than with individuals.
Its subscription price is as low as paper
of its character can be published for, and we
neither offer premiums nor give special rates
to clubs. If we could afford to give pre-
MUM of fifty cents alleged value to each sub
scriber, we could afford to issue the paper fol
one dollar and a half 1t is no more trouble
in proportion to send one paper to apostofhcf
than to send dozen, hence we make no re-
duetion to clubs.
In other words the price of the ADVOCATE
is as low as it can be made, and all subscri
bers are treated alike. Its circulation rests on
its merits alone, and is not buoyed up by pre-
miums or reductions to clubs Premiums
build up circulations, but the standard OF the
paper-in material and contents-is reduced
to meet the cost of premiums; and when thF
premiums are cut off, the circulation dwindles

The Wars.

The war between Servia and Bulgaria has
not exactly terminated, but negotiations to
that end are pending. In the beginning it
looked like Servia would make short work of
Bulgaria. King Milan massed his forces on
the Bulgarian border, and simultaneous with
his declaration of war, his troops crossed into
Bulgaria and for some days carried everything
before them. Suddenly the Bulgarians raj
lied their forces, repulsed and drove back the
invaders. Prince Alexander himself taking
command. King Milan has made overtures
of peace, at the instigation of the powers, as
alleged, but more probably to save himself.
Prince Alexander replied that he had no mott
fcation by the powers of their desire for peace,
and he would consider no propositions that
did not include the payment of a war indem
nifty and the evacuation by the Servians Of
the Widdin district.
The British India forces are slowly but
surely penetrating King Theebaw's country,
and before many days will be able to dictate
their own terms, which will, no doubt, include
the concession of territ ory by Burmah.
