The Country Newspaper
i'm Danger.
THE LOUD BILL MUST BE
DEFEATED.

Norman y. NOiudils 10 OpPOSAnS
the passage of the Loud bill, which
cuts off the privilege of sending
sample copies at regular pound
rates. He concurs with Hon. Per-
~ Heath. Assistant Postmaster
General, that if the Loud bill pass
es without amendment it will be
most injurious to country news
papers, and will arouse great IN
dignation on their part towards
those members that take away the
privilege they now enjoy, and i'm
pose additional heavy burdens upon
them. Publishers can only avert
the danger that may befall them
BY writing at once to their mem
bers Of Congress.
Gov. Colman has been publisher
of Colman's Rural World at ST.
Louis for fifty years, and ought to
understand the interests of publish
ers. In an interview with him by
the National Intelligencer, he says:
There is not a publisher of a
newspaper in the West, or in the
country, that would not oppose it
bitterly if he knew what its passage
would cost, and more especially il
he was aware that not sample
copy could be sent without a post
age stamp upon it to any one, either
to secure advertising, or containing
marked advertisement, or to secure
subscribers, or to exchanges, or to
credit subscribers, or in political
campaigns, or to subscribers after
the time paid for has expired. Mr..
Colman insists that under the bill
newspapers can only be sent al
pound rates to Legitimate subscri
beers who voluntarily order and pay
for the same" When the time
paid tor expires, each copy must
have affixed upon it a postage
| stamp.
"How would this affect the coun.
try newspapers" he asks. 'sArt
our country newspaper publisher
asleep to allow such bill to pass
without protest: 1t will cost eacf
of them from $50 to $500 per year
besides lots of trouble. The bill
also requires every publisher t
sort and tie in separate bundles hi
entire issue by states, cities, town
and counties in his own Office, ant
put it up in United States mai
sacks. Every mailing day through
out the year this work has to b'
performed"
If the fanatlcal Loud bill shoult
become a law, it would work un
told hardships on the publishers O
country newspapers, not the least
Of which would be to compel then
to perform the work for which thu
postal authorities are being paid
1t would also be an outrage on tn,
reading public, for the enormou'
additional expense required in mail
ing their weekly editions woult
compel them, in self defense, t.
increase their price of subscription
to five or six dollars year, insteat
Of one dollar, as at present. W.
call upon Congressman Robertson
and the entire Louisiana delega
ton, in the House and Senate, K
vote and work against the passage
of this infamous measure.

will likely be ready by the end of the

should become law before the hold ay
recess, which this lyear is to be shorter
than usual, and Chairman Cannon
hopes to see it through the house and
into the senate before the end of the

The Democrats of the house, it is not
believed, will seek to obstruct an appro-
priation bill necessary for the mainte-
nance of the army now in the field.
Should there be disposition to open up

be invoked to bring in an order to close

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The curtain
rang up today at noon upon the closing
session of the Fifty-fifth congress. The
presidents message was read in both
houses. The war and the fruits of the
American victory carry in their wake
many. problems which the national leg
islators must solve. But though many
question may press for solution the
brief space covered by this session,
which expires by limitation March a,
p-ecirdev tho probability Of much being
accomplished beyond the passage of the
regular money budgets, the legislation
for the increase of the regular army,
which the administration deems neces-
sary to meet the obligations imposed
upon the country by the result of the
war, and probably the enactment of a
law to give permanent territorial gov
eminent to the Hawaiian Islands.
y This covers. all the important legis-
lation which the congressional leaders
expect to see enacted at this session. 1t
is almost the unanimous sentiment of
the leaders that no attempt should be
made to legislate concerning the posses
sions acquired by the war department.
with Spain at this session. There are
earnest advocates of the Nicaragua
canal bill who will strive to secure its
passage now and they may possibly be
successful, but neither it nor any of
the other measures like the pooling bill,
anti-scalpers bill, etc., which have
strong friends. will be allowed to inter-
fere with the billf the passage of which
Is deemed absolutely necessary to pre-.
vent an extra session. The leaders at
both ends of the capitol have put their
heads together and the work of the ses-
sion is to be entered upon with the idea
OF avoiding an extra session. With
this purpose in view the appropriation
bills are to be given the road at both
ends of the capitol and pressed through
with all possible haste.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Advices from
Judge Day of the Paris peace commits
sion were Of a gratifying character and
hopeful of the signing of the peace
treaty within a reasonable time. Mem

said negotiations were progressing
smoothly. There were various details,
however, concerning which the chair
man desired to learn fully of the presi-
dents wishes, and it was an inquiry of
this character which formed the burden
of the latest communication from Paris.
