THE NEW POSTAL UEbULATION, AND ITS EFFECT. 8e An esteemed subscriber re- ;t'1 marked to us the other day, ii i hi the presence of several others., be that the editor of this paper is' ni be ins ' blamed" for the new re- ni filiation o! I ho postollice dc- pi partm"ut depriving publishers pi of the privile^eo sending through ST the mails as second-dass matter w< p.spera to suls ribers in arrears ye ()l course the idea is absurd. We had about a niucb to do with lii the oiigin ot the postal regula- to tion referred to as with the pro- $1 limitation ot the Ten Command- a( monl8. Really, we are not as | ta yei convinced ol the justice nl j as the depuiInient'tt action. If a ut publisher chooses 1o send out his be papers on a credit, even though in it bankrupts him, we do not see' why the government, should ob- j w, ject so long as lie pavs reasonable postage for the transmission of m his issues through the mails, si But it i9 a waste of time now to HI discuss the wisdom or unwisdom cc of the new rule or regulation, w Being the law, it must be ob served whet her we tike it or not. In the end it may prove best for U both publishers and their patrons e<J It will force the former to pTac- to tically adopt the cash-in-advaitce th plan, and when subscribers be- ta come accustomed to it, they will \ mi no doubt like it bet'er than the I a old way of lotting their subscrip- an tions "run oyer" Irom year to >7etlv' until they are called upon! to pay k good-sized bill. 1 pr So far an 'iNews is concern- e'l ad, a very large p?r cent ol its \ 'a' subscribers aio Jiot alb'cled by Pl] the new regulati* n. I hey need cd no action on the part of the , 11 nAi'h'nn. n rmf h '.ril ie?s to Htimn h"'u" ~ - late them to pa ' up. being reirular ail 1 prompt cash-in-advanc Fu patrons. <> !ht- are helping us a to comply with ihe re ;ula on , Br by settling >r their papers. Ii b> we are eventual ly forced to strike h > oil any names the number w'll rej be few, an 1 they will he more he than oil'>et b ' the nu iiber of new a cash subscriptions boing daily of r ceived. In order that Bier's may he no! miHund?-rstandiii^, we publish Hi again the following section of j lei 111K LAN0A6' a postal regulation relating to I if bscriptions: ' A reasonable time wi'l be U; owed publishers t<> secure reovals of subscriptions, but un39 subscriptions are expressly SI tiewed after the term fur Inch they are paid, within the p IIc?wing periods : ^ "Dailies, within three months; 1 i-weeklies,within three mouth-; mi-weeklies, within nine (j onths; weeklies, within one ar; oemi-nionlhlies,within lhr*e onths; monthlies, wittiin four onths; bimonthlies, within sc x mouths; quarterlies, within months; they shall not be . . CI I mnted in the legitimate list of A ib-'cribers, and copies mailed i account thereof shall not be ej eepted for ~ia.iling at the se- ^ md-elass postage rate of one nt a pound, but may be mailed a the transient second cla?s stage rate ol one cent for each ^ ur ounces or fraction thereof S i epaid by stamps atlixod. The ^ht of a publisher to extend ^l edit for subscriptions to his lhiicalion is not dented or ^ lestioned, but his compliance iK?n compliance with this re- 81 jlatiou will he taken into con- i,: deration indetermining whether t( ie publication is entitled to p ansinission at the second ctass >stago rates" As applied to The News, a h mi-wee!cly, tlie foregoing means ^ at when a subscriber is ninejk onths in arrears his paper will h no longer carried through the al ails as second class n atter. It 'l ust then be slopped or else the iblisher will be required to tt ace on each piper a one c(*n( i amp, which on two papers a;j, f>ek would io the caurge of a 4\] utr amount to $1.04. No sub- ,j riber, of course, would bo wil- |j to pay tliat sum in addition ,f the subHcripfion price of 50. Nor c juI I the publisher Ji lord to advance in cash tor posire alone nearly as much as he \ ?' l\s tor tin* paper itself, to say tf Jthing of the risk that would ? 5 run in some instanc.es of ln?_ 11 g both. J he question is often asked e hy the new regulation was P lopted by the postoffice depart- '' ent, and a plausible answer is e yen by the Washington corre- P tondeu' of "?e Columbia Re-1 ? >rd, which is published else- a here in today's paper. c u Judge Emory Speer, of the ^ nited States court, has render- c 1 a decision of some in'erest a farmers.
