UNJUST POSTAL LAW.

The National Publishing Bureau has
issued a card calling attention to a new
ruling of the Postofice Department.
It is to the effect that a subscrip-
ton to any publication entered in
tire postofice as second-class matter
must be discontinued when the time
for which it is paid in advance has
expired. This is a radical ruling; it
seems opposed to all law, and if en-
forced it certainly will work a revo-
luton in the publishing business.
There is hardly a newspaper or other
publication in the United States that
discontinues service to a subscriber
upon the date OF his subscription ex-
piring. People are leisurely about
paying for their reading matter, and
a careful business man often renews
his subscription when his paper label
or the office book shows him to be q
month in arrears. If his paper were
stopped the day his subscription *
PRED he would consider it an i'm
parchment of his credit. The sys-
tenn proposed by the P~ostoffice De-
partment is ideal. If it were already
we'll established and the people were
used to it publishers would be far bet
ter off, but getting it into operation
would entail great dissatisfaction and
considerable loss to publishers. Pub
fishing concerns are preparing to OPP
pose the ruling in the hope that the
Postmaster General may rescind it.

srArE BoARD OF ASSESSORS

Carson Appeal, Dec. 25: Yesterday
afternoon the Governor, Attorney
General and State Controller met at
the Governors office to take action on
the reduction Of railroad assessments
made in the counties of Ormsby,
Washoe and Storey.
In the three counties named, the V.
& I. valuation was fixed by the State
Board OF Assessors, at their annual
meeting at $40, 900 a mile for the main
track, and $500 a mile for the side
track.
The MOO was fixed at $1,000 per
mile for the main track and $4,000 for
the side track. The revenue law
passed by the last Legislature only
gave County Boards of Equalization
power to equalize such property as had
not been passed upon by the State
Board OF Assessors.
In discussing the matter at the
meeting yesterday it was the unani'
nous opinion OF the Board that the
law had been violated by the County
Boards Of Equalization in the counties
named and that it was the duty oil the
District Attorneys Of the several coun-
ties to sue the road and recover the
difference.
The reduction on the V. q I. was
from $4,000 to $1,000 on the main
track, and from $500 to $1,000 on the
side track.
The MOO was reduced from $4,000
to So, 900 ON the main and from $1,000
to $500 on the side track.
The Attorney-G General held that as
soon as the Assessors made the assess
ment, it became a lien on the property
and suit could be brought for delin-
quency. On motion of the State Con-
troller it was decided to collect the
data and lay the matter before the
meeting of the State Board OF Assess
ors, which will here on the
18th of January.

A NOTE OF WARNING.

A writer in the Medical Record
sounds a wise and timely warning In
regard to dangers of rushing young
children too rapidly Through their
studies. He declares that our mod
ern educational system is greatly at
fault in laying too much stress upon
examinations, and in developing the
minds Of children too often at the ex-
pense of their vitality and health. The
stress of modern education, he says,
has enormously taxed the brains of
children by the multiplicity of studies.
Children cannot assimilate the ideas
in widely differing departments Of
knowledge at one and the anne time.
The effort is to derange in many in
stances the entire nervous system of
the child. The so-called v child
is not only not normal. but may be the
victim OF the education methods of the
present day. Parents are often as
much to blame as the system. They
urge a child to W. study in order to
gain a high grade in his class, or in
order not to miss promotion when by
SO doing they iniure the child's health
and defeat the very object they had in
view. A little healthy work for the
body instead of putting all the labor
on the brain during childhood and
youth would have a splendid effect
both on the bodies and morals of the
rising generation.
