LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The mineral reserve bill has passed
both houses and will become law.
The new garnlshment law exempts
$3.50 in wages to a man with a family.
It is not likely that any spprOpris-
tion will be made for the completion
Of the State House.
The antitrust bill which is being
considered by the House Is q copy Of
the Georgia law, which is said to be
quite satisfactory.

Reform Press Tangle.

The National Reform Press AssocIa-
tion, presided over by Paul Vander-
WORT, who made speeches in opposition
to the POpulist ticket In Kansas ! last
fall, held a meeting at Memphis last
week. Frank Burkett of Mississippi
was elected President to succeed Van
derVo0rt. Burkett is q middle-of-the.
road man, but has the reputation OF
being a clean, honest man, In which
respect he is an improvement over his
predecessor. In his address his prede.
cessOr recommended the removal Of
Chairman Butler of the National Pop
ulist committee. AS the association
did not remove him and had no author
ity to do so, 1t is presumsbIe that this
recommendation was made to give his
address q little nOtoriety.
The Kansas City meeting was at
tended by a good many Western edl-
tors. A new organization, called the
Union Reform Press Association, was
effected. The meeting was called to
order by A. ROselle, Chairman Of the
Missouri Populist committee. J. r.
Sovereign, Grand Master Workman OF
the knights Of Labor, was elected
President. An effort was made to SO.
cure q consolidation of forces with the
Memphis meeting, but the proposition
was evasively met, and as a result
there is now two associations. Owing
to press Of business at home the ADvo-
CATE was not represented at either
meeting.

HOW TO STOP A SUBSCRIPTION TO A
NEWSPAPER.

A subscriber complains that a lot Of
reform papers continue to send their
papers to subscribers after their term OF
subscription has expired, in order q
think to bulldoze them into continuing
to take their papers; and after it has run
say six months or year, come out with
an editorial insulting the party and per-
haps others in order to get what they
consider their pay for sending person
what they do not want, but do not know
that the publisher can collect il they
allow the paper to be taken from the
Office. l believe it would be q good idea
for the present Legislature to pass law
that publishers cannot collect for papers
after they are sent unless they have
special contract to so send."
The subscriber doubtless has no
trouble Of that sort with the ADVOCATE.
It is not sent to anyone unless it is first
paid for, and at the expiration Of the
time for which it is paid it is stopped.
No one has trouble getting on or off Of
it's list. There are papers which will not
stop subscribers paper even after he
has paid for 1t to date and ordered it
stopped, but they are not numerous. II
q subscriber desires to discontinue his
paper he should pay for those copies
which he has received, order it stopped,
and if it continues to come decline to
take it from the Office. There are very few
publishers who will not comply with his
wishes under such circumstances. Those
who will not, soon drift into other lines
where there is better show to work
people.

But what necessity or demand there
may be for such a measure is beyond our
understanding. Let people buy medi-
cine of whatever sort Of whoever they
may choose. Nothing should be done
which will prevent or hinder a sick man
from securing and taking any medicine
or any form of treatment which in the
judgment of himself or his friends will
better his condition. The bill should
not pass.

The investigation of the Cowley
county bond deal is developing some
interesting things. 1t is shown that In
July, 1896, the County Clerk issued a
certificate that certain bonds had been
cancelled, when as a matter of fact
the cancellation did not occur until the
following November. 1t is shown that
this certificate was filed In the State
Auditors Office the same day that it
was Issued, It Is shown that the
money obtained from the sale of the
new bonds was sent to New York to
buy up the old bonds and that the
State school fund was thereby being
used by individuals for speculative
purposes. The deal in It's entirety is
pretty shady. More will be said of it
later.

since the currency In common use has not been

the price of bar silver has fallen from 1887

The theory Of silver advocates Is that prices
in slveruslng countries remain stable. while
those in godusing countries decline because Of
the artificial advance in the purchasing power
of gold produced by the dsuse OF silver. Ger
tainly the facts rs to Japan appear to refute
