An Expressson of Confidence. 

 Geo. P. Rowell & Co.. of New York, the pub- 

 lishers of the American Newspaper Directory, 

 undertake to rate newspaper circulations very 

 much as tha merchantile agencies report the 

 capital and credit of the business community. 

 About one publisher in ten tells his exact issue 

 with truthful precision. Some of the other 

 nine decline to tell the facts because they assert 

 that those who do tell are in the habit of lying. 

 Rowell & Co.. after an experience of more than 

 twenty years, have come to the conclusion 

 that this view cannot be sustained. In the 

 twenty-third annual issue of their book, issued 

 in April, they designate every paper that is 

 rated in accord ance with a derailed statement 

 from the publisher ; and offer to pay a hundred 

 dollars for every instance which can be pointed 

 out of a misstatement for which a publisher is 

 responsible. The Oologist is one of the pa- 

 pers that is wliling to have it known how 

 many it prints and whose good faith the Direc- 

 tory publishers will guarantee.
