IMPORTANT TO PUBLISHERS.

All newspaper publishers, at least,
will be interested in a recent amend
ment to the postal laws which deeply
concerns many of them. The purpose
of the change is to deny the second
class privilege to those publications
that do not circulate on the strength of
their value as reading matter, but
which are foisted upon the people in
connection with gifts, prizes, etc, the
latter being the chief consideration.
Many of these publications exist and
do a successful business, the chief
item of their income being the large
advertising returns their circulation
warrants. 1t is a serious burden and
heavy expense to the department to
carry these publications, and mas
much as the purpose Of the low sec
ond-class rate is to give the people the
reading matter that they want and
need and are ready to pay for at a
price within their reach and nothing
else. it is not strange that the postoffice
department has viewed these gift en-
terprise schemes with disfavor. As is
well known, the cent-a-pound, free
county-distribution given under the
second-class rate is a very great priv
ilege to all publishers, especially those
OF country papers. To debar a paper
from it would be to put such a heavy
tax on the publisher that he would find
it most difficult to conduct business.
The next higher rate is four times as
high, with special stamps required for
each copy of the paper mailed.
The amendment recently made and
above alluded to is as follows -
Section PSI, Postal Laws and Repu-
lations, Edition of 1898. is hereby
amended to read as follows:
SECTION PSI. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
AND LIST REQUISITE UNDER ACT OF

scribes for a definite period of several
issues for a limited number OF copies
for another.
The subscription price must be
shown by the publication, and when It
appears from the contents, or from the
extrinsic inducements offered IN com
bination with il, that the circulation
of the publication is not founded ON
its value as news or literary journal,
and that subscriptions are not made
because of such value, but because It's
offers of merchandise or other consld-
Grafton result, in effect, in its circula-
ton at apparently a nominal rate,
such publication does not come within
the requirements Of the law for accept
ance as second-elass matter.
CHI. EMORY SMITH,
Postmaster General.
While we sympathize with the de-
partment in its desire TO keep the
second-class privilege purely for those
for whom it was intended, it seems to
us as if the above amendment is UNI
fortunately worded where it limits the
copies thus permitted to circulate to
those voluntarily sought and paid for
by the subscriber. If this is to be
rigidly followed, publishers are tied
hand and foot They cannot employ
canvassers to solicit subscriptions and
cannot even ask people to take the
paper themselyes-they must wait
until the subscriber comes TO them.
No such limitation is suffered by any
other business, and unless modified
this amendment will be disastrous in
this particular to many publisher.
In supplemental instructions to
postmasters, issued in connection with
this amendment, we find the follow
ing
IAN subscriptions induced by pre-
miums, chances to win prizes, or other
consideration to the subscriber in
effect reducing the subscription price
to rate apparently nominal, will be
held to be not legitimate within the
meaning Of the statute"
Now very many Vermont news
papers, including this one, have at
times offered prizes in various ways,
perhaps the most common of late being
ranges, pianos, scholarships or the
like, to be given to the person who
would secure the most votes in a con-
test based on subscriptions. 1t is in
reality a method OF securing canvass
ing for the paper. Being interested to
know if this form of enterprise were
also tabooed, we addressed the post
master-general on the subject, receiv-
ing in reply notification that it was
illegitimate henceforth. This seems a
strained operation of the original
order, and not warranted, but as the
department is both lawgiver and ex-
ecutioner, apparently, and threatens
to impose the additional postage on all
copies circulated in this way there is
nothing to do but submit. Those
Vermont papers that are now conduct
ing voting contests will do well to
look into the matter before proceeding
further.

In addition to most generous and at

colors Of fashions and millinery, the De-
cember Designer pays full homage to the
Christmas season in its literature and

stories, "Where the Christmas Tree Grows
Wild" by Harriet A. Nash, and "a
Travelling Christmas Tree by S. T..

how to make 'sSixty Presents for Five
Dollars" and ''Inexpensive Gifts for the

gestions which will be eagerly seized upon
and the elocutionist in search Of suitable
recitations for Christmas entertainments
will find just what is desirable in this
number. The Designer offers Christmas

for the successful ones. Full particulars
concerning this scheme are given in the

The execution of Czolgosz was car
ried out faultlessly-with one glaring
exception. The placing Of chemicals
on his body and in his grave to quick
" disintegrate the remains was a
heathenish, hyenish, medieval pro-
cedure, entirely out of keeping with
the rest. Fear OF body-snatchers could
not have been the motive entirely, for
this could have been guarded against.
fastening the inanimate clay Of this
wretch to dissolution by unnatural
means serves no purpose to offset the
revolving effect produced on the pub
lie mind.
