! 4 NEW POSTAL oaoEs.
ooss Into Effect Jan. I. Requiring
Newspaper Publishers 70 Fay Ter
Delinquent Subscribers.

The first Of the year new, orde,
OF the postonice department goes into
effect: this will require publishers Of
newspapers to pay one cent per copy
on ail subscriptions to a daily news
paper three months or over in arrears
or when weekly edition is one year
or more In arrears-in place Of prepay
Ing the postage at one cent per pound;
II publisher has many Of these sub
scribers in arrears he is liable to lose
the right to send any Of his papers
through the mails at the pound rate
The enforcement Of this order Will
increase the cost the daily paper in
tie neighborhood Of three dollars per
year, where not paid in advance, and
of the weekly fifty per cents per year
when not paid in advance; the pub:
Usher cannot stand this, and it Is. too
much for the subscribers to pay.
This item should be a notice to
every subscriber to see that his sub
scription is paid up within the limit
allowed by the postal authorities, and
kept up-if he wishes to secure the
saper at the regular subscription
rates.
Print paper is twenty-five per cent
Gigier than last year; labor is mere
expansive, and If this postage item has
to be advanced no publisher can af-
ford to continue in business. The In
dependent is not afraid to trust its
/. subscribers, but neither this company
nor its patrons can afford the penalty
Which this new order entails; there
fsre send in your subscription money
at once, and keep your papers paid
ahead if possible SO that the post office
department may have no occasion
to enforce this order as far as the
independent is concerned, at least.

cianGe value of ninety csats. In Mex
leo the American silver dollar has the
same value. On the frontier of the
United States where Texas joins Mex.
leo there are two saloons, one on each

ten cent drink of whiskey at the Amer

American silver dollar receiving a
Mexican dollar as change. With this
he crosses the border, goes into the
Mexican saloon, hands over the Mex
