Ncwspnpcr Laws.

The telegram from WashoEton In yes
terday's papers concerning what are call
cd newspaper laws was not as clear as
It ought TO have been. We have again
and again stated In the Dispatch during
the last few years that there were no
such newspaper laws" as those pretend
ed ones which some Of our rural contem-
pOraries kept standing at the head OF
their columns: but our warnings were all
unheeded. and delinquent subscribers to
newspapers were constantly assured that
IL they violated the laws aforesaid, or
even refused TO take out Of the post-oirce
the papers addressed to them. they would
be brought to condiSn pun
inshment." These "so-callcd laws" as
the Assistant Aforementioned for
the Post-Ofice Department terms
them. have, We repeat. never existed out
side of the newspaper offices which took
pains week after week 10 spread them be
fore their readers. The use made Of
them was a species Of Matchmaking, and
ought TO have been forbidden long ago.
They were employed to force persons TO
take from lNt I'St-'lliNt IoS i'i
papers which they did not want and had
not subscribed for
The Postmaster-General has made
ruling which will put an end to this kind
of blackmailing. 1t is to the effect that
publisher who makes demand for pay
ment Of the subscrption-price Of his paper
through the mails. accompanied by a
threat of enforcing these pretended laws,
may be prosecuted for attempting to OBJ
tain money under false pretences. pro-
vded he knows that such so-called laws
have no existence as laws or decisions of
the courts.
We would not pronounce the newspaper
publishers who will be affected by this
ruling TO be swindlers. BY no means.
They really supposed that there were
such Ia S and rulings as those under
which they threatened to punish delin-
luent subscribers Let us all agree that
Il Is "a happy radiance which we shall
now enjoy Certainly the best papers
ought to profit by the new ruling seeing
hat nobody need now fear being punished
for refusing to receive n paper he has
never ordered to be sent TO his address.

what Can the silver Conference DO

Ir enumerating the results which may
flow from the holding of another interna-
tional bimetallic conference. IL must not
be forgotten that much good may be
done in a negative way in case the con-
ferrees cannot agree upon plan for
securing a universal coinage-ratio. The
presidential election is near at hand. and
IT is too late perhaps 10 indulge in the
hope that that election may be held
without dividing the voters upon the sill
yer question. II will be next TO impossi-
BILE to get that question settled this year
Nevertheless. the out-givinrs Of the dele
gates to the International Bimetallic Con-
ference and their speeches in conference
Will be reproduced in every commercial
country in Christendom. and il will be
impossible for the crazy Silverites TO rally
the Silvertes to their standards when
there is even promise Of settling the
question. II will also be impossible for
the crazy anti-Silverites to rally their
forces. In a word, that conference Will
overshadow the world.
In word. as we have advocated the
appointment Of this commission for years.
We shall not only rejoice when we see it
successful. but we shall do all that may
lie In our power 10 render it successful.
And any result that may follow its sit
tings and discussions Is bound TO be
good one. seeing that the International
Bimetallic Conference cannot be other
wise than successful. The adoption OF a
coinage ratio would be the greatest OF
victories. Even the refusal ~ adopt II
would benefit mankind.

upon the theory that man may act
with that party without leaving the
Democratic party or the Republican

address that other questions, however i'm

that the purpose of this movement Is
not to require anybody to sever his re-

The bounty,

We agree with the New Orleans Plea
yune that the vote on the bounty amend
ment is a most noteworthy example of tho
success OF righteous cause In the face
OF immense difficulties and stubborn OPP
position.
Those Virginia congressman who voted
for paying the bounty win read with plea
sure what that paper says on the sub
Ject. We quote:
'''This action Of Congress means n great
deal for Louisiana. 1t means the saliva
ton Of the sugar industry. and. conse-
quently, the revival OF many lines of
business dependent on that industry. 1t
Will enable the producers TO pay all the
Obligations contracted on the last crop,
and will place them In shape to continue
the production OF sugar on a basis COM
patible with the new order OF things"
In other words. il VIII make the new
tariff law more popular.

Hryau's silver Party.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Journal of Commerce writes
- follows:
1.-The proposition which has been some
what talked OF here for the past week OF
two, TO form a new party devoted
exclusively TO the free coinage of silver,
does not seem TO be bearing very posi-
tive fruit. II turned out. when the lines
came TO be definitely drawn. that there
was nobody to be admitted TO the new
organization except Democrats. and that
they proposed TO work wholly within the
Democratic organization"
We have warned Mr.. Bryan that Ii
will be miracle IL he succeeds In
dispIacing the present leaders OF the
Democratic party and substituting new
leaders and a new creed.
Perhaps. however, Mr.. Bryan is one Of
those men who consider IL possible for a
Democrat 20 Join the new silver party
without quitting the Democratic party.
We trust he IS not so blinded by his de-
votion TO silver as TO maintain that pro-
position TO be true. man could just
as consistently vote for the Republican
candidate for President without severing
his connection" with the Democratic par
~ as he could vote for the American BIZ
metallic partys nominee without sever
ing his connection with the Democratic
party,
