THE PRICE REDUCED.

The COLUMBIAN has ever kept abreast of
the times. Cheap newspapers are the
order of the day, and this office can as well
afford to publish a paper at $l.OO year,
az any other Office. But as the price is
low we cannot afford TO give any more for
the money than any other paper gives. We
have determined to reduce the price OF the
COLUMBIAN to 81. 90 a year, and on or about
July 1st we shall reduce the size of the
parer to that Of the largest of other papers
published at that price. Our only hesita-
tion for some time has been that the re-
duction of the size might seem like back.
ward step, but as the price is reduced in
proportion, and as price, not size, seems to
be the principal object, we have decided
upon this change. The patronage of this
office has never been better than 1t is TO-
day, and our subscription list was never in
a healthier condition. 1t is only because
we hope to largely increase the list that the
reduction has been made, thus placing us
on al equal footing with the other cheap
papers. The principles of this paper will
not be changed in any way. We ask no
office, we have no axes 10 grind, no PROM
ises to make, and hence none to break.
This paper was established ffty-one years
ago, and is now in the ninth year OF Its
present management 1t has, we believe,
always enjoyed the confidence and respect
OF the public and our endeayors shall all be
directed towards the maintenance OF that
position.
All who have paid in advance at the old
rate Of $3.50 will receive credit on our
books for the excess from July l. All who
are in arrears for subscription will be
charged at the rate of $3.50 up to July lst,
and $1.00 year after that date. tt

M EssRs EDITORS. Your correspondent in
attempting 10 crticise the expression
"Statue of Liberty Enlightenipg the
World" reminds one very much of the
school-boy who, when asked If he ever
saw any part Of Pennsylvania, answered
yes, and pointing to the map said "there is
the whole of It, it is red and about as large
as your hand"
Our glorious liberty of which the statue is
an emblem, sheds Its beams over the other
nations of the earth, enlightening them
and enabling them to steer their ship Of
State toward harbor of safety, just as the
torch Of the statue lights the surrounding
bay and enables sailors to steer their ships
safely into New York harbor, and the
statue itself is no more Liberty than the
map is the state of Pennsylvania. So
much for the 'name." There is no
legend" and the above is exactly the
'ides" that France, the most highly cult
vated nation of Europe, wished to acknowl-
edge in presenting the statue. L.

The Philadelphia Times says there is still
another class of swindlers who hsye been
"doing" the farmers OF Western Pennsyl-
vania with what might be called tue sam
pie game. This, in brief, Is to exhibit
around the rural fireside sample goods Of
varying manufacture, but always a good
quality and design. The unsuspecting
granger is delighted with these, as he may
well be, orders plentifully from the bland
salesman, who talks him into ecstacies In
ten minutes, and either pays in advance
or orders the goods sent G. o. ID. In the
former case he rarely hears from the elo.
quent agent again, aud in the latter be re-
oeives package by express which is found
TO contain cheap or worthless materials
The game Is almost as old as the hills, but
still 1t taKes-where newspapers are up-
known.
