The following anecdote is, we fear, too
good to be true, but 1t is going about
town on respectable authority, says the
Princess. Some time ago a tourist
stepped into a postal telegraph Office
In one of our country districts, and go.
Ing up to the counter wrote an address
on a letter Fe was about to leave, when
he caught sigh1 os lady IN charge, and
lifting his hat, bowed politely TO her. But
the lady had lofty ideas of her official
position. and thus addressed the depart
ing gentleman: II must say, it's a pretty
piece of impertinence to come to this
office simply to scrlbbce an address" The
intruder courteousy responded, saying
that he had hoped such a tlring might
be permitted in extraordinary circum-
stances, but that II no person was to be
admitted for such purpose, he was quite
prepared to send telegram He then
proceeded to fill up form, and handed
1t over to the lady, flied up in the fol-
lowing manner: 1.-The lady clerk at this
office wantonCy ignores every rule of civil
ity." The lady was struck dumb when
she read the message, which was ad-
dressed to the secretary of the general
postoffice, and bore a well known name.
The gentleman observed her extreme con-
fusion, and, re.enting, said: 81 don't
think IN trouble you to send the tele-
gram, unless you particularly wish; but
| will express the hope that you will be
httJe more careful in your language
in the future" The lady clerk did not
fail to learn the lesson thus taught her
as to her department in the discharge

THE PRINTING PAPER TRUST


The manufacturers OF printing paper In
tae United States are about to organize
a huge trust to embrace ar the leading
establishments OF the country, capitalized
at double or treble their actual cost or
value, apparently for the purpose Of es-
tab.iEhing q monopoly that may arb!-
trarily fix the price OF printing paper.
Looking to the ultimate interests of the
country and newspapers especially, the
creation Of this trust wEC' surely result
In good. The trust viii fan to accom-
r..nd its ann, and the pubic generally
VIII rtap substantial advantages after
tho first floor specu1ators shafl have
pocketed their profits and mnny others
shan have lost large amount OF money.
The manufacture OF printing paper is
such "a prime necessity that 1t cannot be
controlled by any monopoly trust, and
those who attempt 1t may succeed for a
season only to suffer disaster In the end.
One Of the inevitable results OF the
newspaper trust must be the placing of
pntntIng paper ON ahe flee list by con-
gress. 1t should have been done long
ago, ani It wiz certainly be accomplished
whenever the printing paper monopoly
gets fairly under way. 1t is now de-
monstrated that good printing paper can
be made In this country by any estab-
l.shment that rs properly equipped for its
production. at from 1.6O to cents per
pound; and with boundcess supply OF
raw materials und constant Improvement
In machinery, the tendency viii be to
diminish the price rather than increase Ut.
The field Is too wide not to tempt mill
ions OF new capital into the creation of
new mills with the very best advantages
Of location, equipment, ETC., and the end
win surely be cheaper printing paper
THAN ever before. The printing paper
monopoly trust win therefore, accom-
pclsh good without intending 1t, and the
more arbitrarllyd 1t slha:l attempt to gather
Its prohts The sooner It VIA be over
thrown. The newspapers OF the country
have nothing to fear from the organlza-
tton Of this new monopoly.
