PRESIDENT LINCOLN ON THE MORRILL

"Ion," the usually reliable correspond
ent Of the Baltimore Sam, suggests that
the Senate should have called npon M.
Lincoln for an expression OF lis opinion

II Mr.. Lincoln were asked how he
LIKES it, he would, no donbt, express his
opinion upon it very decidedly. 1t is
well known that he neither desired nor
expected the passage Of the act. Still
he may not concur with those OF the
Republicans who wish him to call Con-
sress for the purpose of restoring the
t'rl1 OF 1857. In fact, the general
opinion is, that the administration ia
adverse TO an extra session, and will not
resort to 1t except from financial neces-
it,.

Our geaders have already been in
formed that the Post Master General
hes issued orders for supply Of letter
paper to be cut, gummed, and embossed,
with three cent postage stamp, COM
bining in one both letter sheet and en-
velope. According to the Warrington
correspondent Of the New York World,
a sheet of this new style OF letter paper
will be about half the size Of the old
fashioned letter paper, 50 folded and cut
as to furnish neat aud convenient pre-
paid letter of only about half the weigh,
Of those nov in use With an envelope.
Orders have also been sent for similar
sheets, letter size.
The use Of envelopes has often been
objected to by legal gentlemen, as the
post Office stamp is often the only con-
elusive evidence OF the time when n let.
ter may have been mailed. There can
be little doubt that the new system will
almost entirely tupercede the old, SO faI
as business letters are concerned.

THE widow Of Y,nrbide, formerly
Emperor of Mexico, died last Thursday,
in Philadelphia, at an advanced age.
Yturbide was elected Emperor and
crowned in 1922, but the political troub-
els induced him to abdicate in about a
year from that time, and, with his fam
lily, he went to Italy. Two years later
he returned to Mexico, was declared a
traitor, aud shot within a week after
landing on the shores OF the country OF
which he had been elected Emperor.
The Mexican Government allowed his
widow pension, and she removed to
Philadelphia, where she has lived since
1925, brought up family, and made a
large circle Of friends. She lived in a
very quiet style, and but few Of her fel-
low citizens knew that Philadelphia
numbered among its residents an ex.
Empress.
