Sensible Postal Method.

The post-office department has re-
Gently made ruling that will meet
the approval of we'll intentioned news
paper publishers, and afford relief to
people who are annoyed by publishers
sending them papers for which they
have not subscribed, or which they
have ordered stopped at the expiration
of payment, and which continue to go
to their addresses. In such cases post
masters are ordered to remail the
papers to the publishers, with a de-
mand for unpaid postage of two cents
for each paper. No responsible pub
Usher will send his paper to a nom
subscriber. except with the inforna-
tion that it is a sample copy sent free,
nor will he knowingly continue to
send his paper to a subscriber after it
has been ordered stopped and arrear-
ages paid. And irresponsible publish
ers will soon quit the practice when
required to pay two cents for the re-
turn of papers so sent. Probably the
only difficulty with the new arrange

masters and clerks who may return
papers where subscribers have not or :
