The sample Copy Abuse.

One of the abuses of the sample COPY
privilege is that some publishers will give
to advertising patrons and purchasers of
their publications the pound rate of pos
tage, which belongs TO them only by virtue
of their being publishers. by accepting
lists of names from advertisers and rur-
chasers and sending out alleged samples
to the names so furnished at the pound
rate. The purpose is to secure the cir
culstiOn OF an advertisement, and not to
furnish to the addressee a bona fide sam
pie copy OF the publication with a view
to securing his subscription as cOntem
plated by law. The copies so sent out by
the publishers are as much the property
OF the purchaser as though he took them
away from the office OF publication and
offered them for mailing himself, when
the rate of postage would be one cent for
each four ounces. or 4 cents a pound. Thus
the purchaser has conferred upon him by
the publisher the pound rate. to which,
under the law, he Is not entitled. The
hill contains a provision for limited
number of sample copies, and the De-
partment certainly favors the allowance
of a sufficient amount to meet the needs
of the country paperst
The Postmaster General then argued
against the abuse OF the return privilege
which he says promotes monopoly by COM
polling publishers TO deal through the
news agents in order 10 get unsOld copies

The Bona Eide Subscribers.
Further on he says the sending Of
notification to the publisher if the sub
scriber desires to have the paper continued
is such an easy matter that the enactment
of the bill would not be liable to mate

scribers. 1t would. however. be protec-
ton to parties 20 whom papers are sent

Poor intellectual, pabuIum.

It ma! not be inappropriate TO say con-
tinues The argument, that it is by no
means a limited judgment that the public
morals will be promoted and the intel

the enactment OF any law which will tend
TO limit or restrict the circulation of this
alleged good literature" Those VINO
favor the maintenance of the pound rate
of postage to cheaper and facilitate the
circulation of good literature" overlook
the fact that the proportion of impure

prised in this so-called cheap and good

ter. Although there are few pure lit

such beyond the reach of the ''humblest

II a poll could be taken il is believed
that a majority of the bona fide news
papers and magazines of the country
would vote for the entire elimination of
the sample copy privilege. Standard pub
LEGATIONS seldom avail themselves of it.

Helena, March 28.-The supreme court
today announced it's ruling upon some
pending motions, all in Butte mining liti-
cation. The court denied the motion Of
the Montana Ore Purchasing company
for a dissolution of the injunction issued
March 2, 1893, and several times modified,
restraining the Montana Ore Purchasing
company from working in certain dis
puted portions of the Pennsylvania
ground. The Montana Ore Purchasing
company asked to have the injunction
dissolved because it claimed hat the
matters at issue had been decided in the
Montana Ore Purchasing company's
favor in the famous Pennsylvania min
ing case decided several months ago by
Judge Clancy.
The court also granted the application
OF Silas F. King and others for a writ
of certiorari to review the action of
Judge Lindsay Of Butte in dismissing the
case OF Silas F. King ct al. VS.. J. H.
Maloney ct al, an action involving the
ownership of disputed portions of the
Plymouth mine. The lower court is di-
rected to certify up the record on or be-
fore April 10.
The court also granted the injunction
asked by Adolph Wetzstein against the
Boston & Montana, restraining the latter
from working the one-fourth interest in
the Comanche mine. A bond of $50, 900,
signed by C. W. Clark and John Mac
Ginnis, was approved.
