LEGAL ADVERTISING RATES.

In the course o comment on the
TELEGRAPH' editorial of a few
weeks ago, in which it was con
tended that, with one eXCep-
tion, the rates allowed BY the
statute for legal publications are
equitable, the Pensacola News
says:
"Thc TELEGRAPH comedies that
the price allowed for publish Nc
laX sale advertisements Is too low,
and insists that the publishe'
should receive so per cent OF TIM
commercial rate for the work
Why not 100 per cent Is there
any reason why TIE people at large
the state shou d pay only hall
tie price individuals paw for the
same, or similar. srrvice2"
The TELEGRAPH said "at least
90 per cent of the commercial rate.
AMI there is really no well founded
reason why the publisher shoulC
not receive full 100 per cent. Tn
only argument in favor of cut in
the price is to be found in the fact
that there is always larger guam
THY of the work Sin a lump than
papers receive from their CONNER
Cill patrons. This, however, can
not be said TO constitute ratiOna
excuse for the reduction, and tn,

the prices on other classes of lega

not be disturbed with ut dUlrg

In the number of female riders upon

This falling off may be due to the
