snppressing tho HandDill.

] The city of Philadelphia has
passed an ordinance imposing a
fine of $40 for throwing a handbill,
circular OF any paper advertisement
into any yard, or on the porch of
any building. The circular habit
is getting to be a great nuisance
and it is wholly unnecessary and
uniustified in the cities and larger
towns. In these days, when every
town of any size has daily papers,
which are read by everybody who
are interested in any kind of adj
vertising. there is no excuse or 90
casion to litter the public streets
and private premises with handbiil
or circular. People who are able to
buy articles and goods advertised
in these handbills and circulars
read the daily papers, and the adj
Vertfsement can be- inserted in the
paper about as cheaply as it can be
printed on handbills and ciroulsrs.
The fact is, hepeople who are best
able to bny the articles advertised
have come to regard the handbill
and the circular as cheap device
to advertise cheap ana worthless
goods, and not one circular in a
dozeh is ever read, or even picked
up, except to destroy it. There is
no advertising 80 good, or that
brings in as profitable returns for
meritorious articles as newspaper
advertising. All who have eccu-
mulated fortunes in business bear
witness to this fact, The handbill
and the circular will do as a sub
stitute where the newspaper does
not circulate. But in these adj
vanced times the newspeper goes
into almost every nook and corner
where there is any show for selling
ANYTHING.

claimants for the Governorship,
the Supreme Court at Washington
yesterday advanced the case, and it
will be argued on the Both inst, or

peals, which was in favor of Gov

collected and piled up in the treas

to reduce these taxes, or of the
President to recommend their re-

look for reason for this nom
