The success of the postal savings attach
ment to the British postoffice does not con-
stitute an argument in favor of its adop-
ton by the United States because of the
dissimilarity OF the two countries. The
Great Britain which patronizes the postal
savings bank is so densely populated and
so limited in area that 1t is impossible to
make the currency of trade scarce by col
Iecting il and having it invested in consols.

The Newspaper Law.

l. All subscribers who do not give ex
press notice to the contrary are considered
wishing to continue their subscription.
2. If subscribers order the discOn.
tinuance of their periodical the publisher
may continne to send it until all arrear-
ages are paid.
8. II subscribers refuse or neglect to
take their periodicals from the Office to
which they are directed, they are respon-
sible until they settle their bills and or
der them discontinued.
4. Subscribers moving to other places
without informing the publisher, and the
papers are sent to the former address,
they are held responsible.
8. The courts have decided that re.
fusing to take periodicals from the Office,
or removing and leaving them uncalled
for, is prima facie evidence of intended
fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice at the end Of the
time that they do not wish to continue
taking it, and the subscriber will be re.
spOnsible until an express notice with all
arrearages are sent to the publisher
z. The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest anyone
for fraud who takes paper and refuses
to pay for it.
Under the law the man who allows his

mark it s.refused" and haye postal
card sent notifying the publisher, leaves
himself liable to arrest and fine, the

The Depot and Eating Hslse.

The GLOBE-REPCBLIcEN intends to
note the progress Of the new Santa Fe
railway depot and eating house without

viting the criticism Of the neighboring

will be expected Of the progress of tho

seem an iteration and reiteration, but .
go, 900 building is seldom constructed
anywhere in the west-the sssh0rt grass
region. so-called-and the weekly contri-
buttons to public intelligence of the
building in progress, is an advertisement
that will do Dodge City good. The cost
of this building will be at least $50, 600,
the contract price being 335. 900; but
when we take into consideration that the
Santa Fe road ''pays its own freight"
the $50, 900 estimate Is not large. A pri-
vate individual could not put up this
building at less than go. 1000. The build
ing is to be more finely flushed than
originally designed. The original esti-
mate of cost was $50, 600; and 5000 was
added to this to put the building In the
best shape according to modern plans.
L. Lewis, the supervising architect,
who has personal supervision of the
buildings at Dodge City and Hutchinson,
arrived Monday night, and will make
permanent headquarters in this city.
James Cuthbert of Topeka, who is q
b-contractor, and who has charge of
the construction of the stone work, is
personally experimenting the excavation;
and he informs us that the stone work
will be speedily pushed forward. The
sand used in the foundation will be ship
ped from Tspeka. The rough stone for
the foundation comes from the auarries
at Cottonwood Falls. The cut stone |
comes from Colorado. The red stone |
used in the trimmings for the brick work |
will also come from Colorado.
1t will require at least four months to
complete this building. Several thous.
and dollars will be expended in making
the psrk surrounding the depot building.
