TRUST SOME SUBSCRIBERS.

1t is always best to collect the full 81
and make finish of the business, but
from some you will fail to get subscrip-
tions because it is inconvenient for them
to pay the full dollar at the moment; or,
if you are more or less of a stranger to
them, you may hesitate to ask them to
trust you with the dollar; or, they may be-
long to that class who, although they see
more than a dollars worth in what you
offer, yet they are inclined to hold on to
the dollar. All of these cases, if you are
so disposed, can be met by proposing to
accept % cents rs a first payment for n
yearly subscription, they to pay you the
balance at some other time.
In order to keep our subscription list
straight it is necessary for you to send
us q full 81 in these cases, but we afford
you protection from loss as follows: If
any of these do not pay you the whole or
part of the balance, you can so inform us
and we will take such names off the sub
Scription list at the end of three months
and return you 10 cents each. This plan
involves some trouble and n little outlay
for you, but there is really no risk of loss.
Many pensioners can pay % cents every
three months with ease who find it hard
to spare a dollar at one time.
If you can spare the money to do buSi-
ness this way you might take some sub
scriptions without any prepayment what
ever from people whom you know are per-
fectly responsible. After they get inter-
ested in the paper they will pay cheerfully
md feel under obligations to you.
The National tribune., 1901-06-27
WHOM TO SOLICIT.

First, the veteran. 1t is his paper. He
enjoys every word of it. Besides, it is
his interest to keep fully Informed as to
latest rulings and decisions, to be found
in this paper only. If he is a pensioner
or an applicant for n pension, or for an
increase, he should take this paper. No
veteran, however limited his means, can
afford to do without it. The paper fights
his battles and he owes it the small sup
port of subscription.
Second, ask subscriptions from those
you know are fond of good reading, wheth-
er young or old, man or woman. The lit
erary quality of this paper is high Cul-
tivatcd people quickly see this and sub
scribe.
Third, call upon people of speculative
disposition. They will be attracted by
the guessing contest. You ought to know
so well yourself that these are square
contests as to be able to convince them
Call upon attorneys, especially claim
agents, and point out the law columns

Call upon the Commander and Adju-
tant of the g. \. X. Post; also the Presi-
dent and Secretary of the WOman's Re
lief Corps; also the. Captain Of the Sons
of Veterans. Get their subscriptions, as
well as their assistance and advice as to
getting other subscriptions.
Call upon almost any good, patriotic
American. The NATIONAL TRIBUNE is Il

CHINAMEN GOING HOME.
Charged With Unlawful Entry Into
 This Country.

New York, May 9.The steamship Glamorganshire has sailed from JGr- -sey City for China carrying with her five Chinamen who are being deported to their fatharland sorely against their will, yet who, under the law. are said to have a perfect right to stay in this country until the question of their right to remain here permanently has been passed upon py the United States supreme court.
 . According to the counsel for the de ported Chinamen, their deportation is due to the refusal of the company which owns the steamer to allow them to identify the Chinamen.
 The five Chinamen, whose names are Ii Mai, Do Chin Duck, Do Gee Ling, Lung Look, and wung Sing, en- tered the United States from Canada several months ago, and were arrested and put in jail at Plattsburg, N. l., charged with unlawful entry into the country under the Chinese exclusion acts. They claimed to be American citizens but in spite of this were or dered deported by U $. Commissioner Woodward at Plattsburg.
 They are merchants and have wealthy relatives in this city. An ap- peal was allowed to the United States supreme court, as we'll as stay of the order of deportation.

 The cost of legislation for this city during the past twenty years is the talk of both houses.

Waterbury, was the answer, and the questioners turned away with smile For a person indifferent to politics to walk about the Hobbies and hear how this city is referred to he gets the opinion that the prominent Republicans, for it is they who have desired all this legislation, have been quite busy maligning the city and it's officials. City Attorney Kellogg boasted to Judge George w. Wheeler some time ago in the superior court that the finances of this city are so pro tected that it is Impossible for a penny to be spent extravagantly, yet he is the main instrument of this recent legis- lation which must have cost the city q very large sum.
