The Fourth Estate, whose name sufficiently Indicates its nature as A publication, expresses the opinion that the worst sufferers -will be those weeklies and semi-weeklies which several years ago reduced subscrip tion from fi and $1.60 to $1. "This unfortunate cut in price," says our contemporary, "occurred when the country was In the clutches of hard times, and the people were not able pay 'their Mils. Now every sub scription taken at that price Is well nigh a financial loss, it win be at a loss' when the new price of paper goes Into effect. There is but one thing for small publlfher to do, and that Is to Increase the price of their paper. ,Tbey should not expect to make the advance less than fifty cents on $1 subscriptions, and the same amount on fl.SO rates. No subscriber ought to expect to get a paper nowadays for such A sura as $1.

There is one large crumb of com fort for the Morally Stunted In the result of the Ashevllle election.
