The Perryville Chronicle intlmates
that the three publishers who met in
Ironton on the 18th ult., assumed to
themselves the disposition, if not the
power, to make foreign" advertising
rates for all their brethren of the South
east, and contemptuously likens them
unto the three tailors of Tooley
street." This may be 'smart," but 1t
is not true. The aforesaid meeting had
been largely advertised and was known
to every publisher in Southeast Mis-
souri,. 1t was not believed that their
failure to attend was owing either 10
TASK of interest or unwillingness, but
rather that more immediate duties kept
them at home. When We three and
no more came together, the objects OF
the meeting, haC it been more largely
attended, were discussed; and since 1t
seemed impossible to get the "boys" OF
one mind at one time-as other Efforts
at various times to get them together
in convention were without success-it
was proposed that a 'starter" might
be given to one of the most important
objects of the meeting-'foreign" ad-
vertising and advertising agencies. To
this end rates of advertising were
drawn up and signed by those present,
printed, and cnpies sent to every pub
Usher i'm Southeast Missouri for his
signature, If he approved them. Twen-
ty-five of those publishers have re-
sponded favorably, and the returns are
not vet all in. Another meeting for
the publishers will be called sometime
in January at Bismarck, and then, if
they, in their assembled wisdom, see
fit to change. add to, or eliminate from,
the starter" none will submit more
readily than we. The rates sent out
are by no means like the laws of the
Modes and Persians, but may be
changed at any time. Under these
conditions We hope that every publish
er in Southeast Missouri will attach
his name to the rates and if there be
anything in them he does not wholly
approve, let him come up to the mex
convention and be heard pleading fol
the faith that is within him.
No, no, brother Chronicle! not three
tailors! Three Graces, beautiful tt
look upon, with their hearts overflow
ing with the milk of human kindness
to everything and every person OF
this green earth, save wooden-baset
electrotypes and We facile advertising

Five Thousand Dollars.

This is the sum the publisher of the Rudl
World is prepared to present to his readers,
and pledge himself to do so between now
and the first day of January, 1887; that is, in
thirty days. He offers this, not in tawdry
jeweIry or any other snide stuff, but in hard
cash. Nor is the work of earning it difficult;
on the contrary, it is the easiest thing in the
world. just let / 900 persons take copy of
the Rudl World in their hands and canvas
friends and neighbors for subscriptions, and
any intelligent person can in two days, get
ten subscribers at $3.50 each, and he has
earned $500. He may keep that sum and
remit the remaining $1,000 to c. d. Colman,
705 Olive Street, st. Louis, No., and the pa
per will be sent every week until January
LIST, 1888. Reader, will you try it? Willyou
begin at once and have that $500 before
Christmas: If so, send for sample copies if
you haven't one, and 60 to work. 1t is the
oldest, the largest, and the very best agri-
cultural paper published in the Mississippi
Valley. Any person securing twenty sub
scrlbers and sending $1,000, shall have a copy
himself for wear free.

The patent medicine man was in to
see us last Saturday in regard to ad-
vertising. We gave him our rates as
established by the convention and he
depsrted with look on his face which
was intended to leave the impression
that he would boycott the whole South
east. 1t will not take him a long time
to come to his milk, however, and the
result will be that the publishers will
realize just as much money from the
"foreign" man as they did heretofore,
for about one-fourth the work.

Ed. Register.-After weeks vain effort
to snow, it began to snow last evening at
about P. NJ: showed lightly through the
night; now a coat of about inches in depth
covers the ground and it is still showing.
AS the ground was well frozen before it be-
gan to snow, it will no doubt remain cover
ed during the continuance of the cold snap,
and the wheat fields, which suffered meal
culable damage for want of protection from
the bitter cold of the past two days and
| nights, will be much benefited thereby.
| This morning the temperature of the atmos-
phere, which throughout yesterday was un-
usually low for the opening of winter, is
milder and just right to facilitate an album
dant fall of dry snow.
| News is as scarce as greenbacks or silver
scarf wheels" in this locality, hence this
communication will no doubt be noteworthy
for its lack of interesting items.
| The lead mines near Palmer are still yield
| ing sufficient mineral to rejoice the hearts of
the miners, not few Of whom stood sorely
| in need of means to procure the necessaries
| of life for themselves and their families; for
many of the miners are farmers who eX-
perienced an almost entire failure Of their
| crops, which, coupled with previous poor
management, threatened dearth of COM
forts at their homes until they could again
make an effort to raise crop. One of the
miners, Mr.. Sylvester-"Ches."- Payne met
with an accident last week. His assistant,
James Gillian, permitted the mineral-tube
to prematurely descend, and it struck Mr..
Payne on the head, stunning him, but after
| he was conveyed out Of the shaft by some of
fellow miners he recovered from the effects
of the stroke, fortunately, tho tub was
empty; had it been loaded 1t would necessa-
rily have produced fatal results.

PROHIBITION DrD c.4RRr.

From the 0regonian We take the fol
lowing extract which shows he silent
force against whiskey and saloons:
'.It is now shown that upon the
actual vote cast in Washington Terri
tory in the late s'local option" election
there was an actual majority for pro
hibition of 48S; and this, though no
vote was taken in many of the rural
precincts. In the towns there was a
full vote, and in most of them large
anti prohibition majorities. 1t is ap-
parent that almost sif not the entire
Rnti-prohibition vote was polled, while
it is certain that much of the prohibi-
tion vote was not, since in many OF the
rural districts no vote was taken. We
cannot question the Walla Walla Jour-
nails conclusion that there is a large
prohibition majority in the territory.
The same very probably would also
be found true in Oregon. But such q
vote by no means settles the liquor
question. A vote to abolish the liquor
traffic cannot be depended on to abol-
ish it, and the reason is plain. Doug
las, Jackson, Linn and Marion counties
may throw nearly solid vote for pro-
hibition, yet their decree will not en-
force prohibition in Portland and
Astoria, nor evsn in their own larger
towns. 1t would be easy, no doubt, to
carry prohibition on general vote in
Oregon as well as in Washington; but
this would not solve the problem. It
is very likely, however, that Oregon
win try it. Large numbers of our
earnest people believe in the efficacy of
prohibitory laws, and they will not be
argued out Of their belief and its con-
ssquent purpose.
