WASHINGTON. August 5.-The
Postofice Department is now abou
ready to begin to print the new post
age stamps, and is busily engaged in
correspondence with postmasters on
matters connected with the change Of
stamps. The two cent stamp is en-
graved and can be struck off. The de-
sign for the four or double stamp was
approved by Assistant Postmaster
General Hazen yesterday. The new
Eve and six cent stamps, and those Of
higher denomination, are not to be
altered.
Although there will be little call
for the SIX cent stamps, the depart
ment was reluctant TO cut of the pOr-
trait Of Lincoln from the series
There is more sentiment among the
people for these postage stamps than
one might suppose. There have been
not a few murmuriDgs-for instance,
among the Jacksonian Democracy
because the head of their
chief has been supplanted in the two
cent stamp, and even Washington
himself, II is TO DO hoped that these
faithful spirits will be 'placated in a
measure by the temperance OF the
hero of New Orleans in most un>
compromising likeness on the four.
cent stamp.
Postmabters bave been sdmonished
to have as small q supply Of stamps on
hand as possible, aud the department
exercises it's discretion 10 filling
acquisitions where excessive demands
are made.
For a time It was thought by the
language of our postal regulations
With Canada, that the rate between
our Northern neighbOr aud ourselves
would continue at the existing local
rate Of three cents, but this view Of
the treaty Is erroneous, and has been
80 decided, SO that postage Or letters

WASHINGTON, August 5 The In

to tie settled policy and prSctics OF
the Department in dealing with the
Indians Of Indian Territory, and
would secure to the Kansas Stock
Company a status which the United
States would be bound TO IN lintain in

The Department, therefore, will not
Interfere in the matter unless it
should become necessary to preserve
peace and order. Par les who N axe
contracts with Indians do so at their
risk aud can secure from
the government 40 recognition what
ever. So long as the Indians find it
agreeable and profitable 10 observe
their contracts with white men all will
be well, but should they become tired
OF their business relations with any
particular party, and call upon the
governmental expel the intrudeFs. the
call would be responded to, aud no
contract would prevent the summary
expulsion of the whites.
White men have no rights in
the icdian Territory, and can acquire
none except by marrying Indian
women, aud becoming part of the
tribe to which tbe wife may belong.
Nor have the Indians any right to
lease or sell any portion OF the lands
assigned them, without tho approval
OF the government. The people should
not be deceived into taking stock 10
schemes that are said to be located in
the Indian Territory. That Territory
is secured to the Indians by laws en-
acted years ago and an entrance can
not legally be made with legislative
aid =

Department that IL sss' alYasdy erea-
ted demand for two cent stamp on
their side, which they do not think
they can safely adopt, even if we can.
Our own postal authorities are, how
ever, very generally convinced now
that the new rates will cause only a
slight and temporary reduction in
revenues. This question has been so
often and so thoroughly discussed that
tits unnecessary to dwell upon it here
aud it need only be stated that Mr..
Hazen shows, in an exhaustive report,
that previous reductions in the rate
have led only to temporary loss and
have ultimately brought large add.
tions to postal revenues, and that, too,
under less favorable conditions than
those which exist atpresent. But be
that as it may, it is certain that the.
change will be most popular ONE, and
will commend the administration to
the people and, as department official
said to-day, it will probably be
appreciated mere deeply by the
Granger, who writes perhaps dozen
letters year, than the business man
whose annual bill for postage stamps
amounts to hundreds OF dollars.
One interesting question, on which
there is some speculation.is the degree
to which one cent postage will be
sffected by the operations Of the new
law. So far as the use of the postal
card is dictated by convenience sims
ply, the new rate will have no weight,
but it is thought by many who use the
card for economy will hereafter write
under cover. 1t is also believed that
in many cases circulars will 20 sealed
at the extra rate in order to get more
consideration.
The department has advised post
masters that the new envelopes will be
ready for delivery on September Land
the postage stamps on the 10Th OF the
month. Deliveries will be made to
Shem on and after these dates, but
none OF the new stamps are to be sold
until October / and if sold will not
be accepted as postage.
