POST oFFIcE.DePART-
MENT VS.. NEWSPAPERS.

Under the assumed reason that the
newspapers are burdenisg the U. s.
mails by sending out practically free CO.
pies Of their publications. the post Of
fee department has been tor several
years trying to make newspapers do bus
iness according to the views OF the heads
of the departments connected with the
carrying Of the mails.
A little while ago there came to this
Office form Of affidavit in which the
names Of the owners. the publishers, aad
the editors Of this paper we're to be
sworn to and sent to the post Office de-
partment, and in the case Of the daily
papers this information was required to
be published.
Now we have on file another form Of
affidavit in which it is required that we
give all details concerning our circula-
tion. How many paid up subscriptions.
how many delinquent subscribers, and
how many dead heads, etc.
Now, this paper has nothing to hide
about its business but just the same it
believes that the details Of its business
are private property. There are some
things which are generally supposed to
be private and personal to the individu-
al. For instance in the average home
there is nothing that needs particular
concealment but for all that the house
holder would strongly object to having
his honse searched just to see if he or
she we're running the same according to
the ideas Of other people. We contend
that newspaper subscription lust is the
private property Of the owners. that the
government or anybody else has no bus
iness with 1T except as the owner chooses.
There are times whom even the sancti-
ty Of tho home is invaded, but this was
deemed Of sufficient Importance that the
constitution Of tho United States made
special regulations in regard to il. In
Amendment Nv it recltes:
ssThe right OF the people to be secure
in their persons. papers, houses and
effects against unreasonable searches
and sel1ures shall not be violated, and
no warrants shall issue but upon pro-
bable cause. supported by oath and
affirmation. etc.

tho implied threat Of denying % tho use

made creditable success of which
he is richly deserving.

A great deal regarding the wealth. resources and
prospects of city may be predicted from the
number, extent and standing of its banking insti-
tutions and the city of Prescott is not only willing
hut glad to be judged from this standard, for in
no other way does it show off to better advan-
tage. Leaving the general field we desire TO make
mention of a bank which is not only the Oldest
and most we'll known institution of its kind in
Nevada County, but is we'll known over the entire
southwestern part of the state. 1t was first opened
for business in 1884, and since that time has en-
ioyed continued known to but few hank
ing institutions Through all these years an un-
ostentatious adherence to conservative, yet ac-
commodatng policy has prevailed and raised the
Nevada County Bank to its present high standard,
and the safe methods will continue to characterize
its transactions. A general banking business IS
done, loans negotiated, exchange bought and sold
deposits received time subject to check cLm-
mercal paper discounted and collections made, ana
four per cent paid time deposits and every favor
consistent with good banking methods is granted
TO its patrons at all times The high appreciation
of the methods of the Nevada County Bank Is

couragement received from the community best
