needless alarm it may be in order for
those who are about to publish their
notice of application to get a point
from the register of the land Office as
TO the LEGALITY in publishing these
notices in papers that are known as

Postal Notes.

The use of the new postal note has
already begun. The notes are bound
in books of $50 sheets, or 500 notes
each, with stubs to indicate the
amount for which each note is issued.
Each postmaster who receives a pack
age is supplied with blanks and IL
structions for the conduct of the
postal note business. Notes are
printed on linen bank note paper OF
the bes. quality, of clear lemon col
or, chemically prepared 50 as not to
be affected by moisture or exposure
to light, but az the same time the pa
per is sensitive to acids and other
liquids used for removal Of writing
inks. The underlying tint on the
face Is printed on golden brown from
steel plates and is similar to that of
the old fractional currency issued
during the war. The paper is water
marked and each note Is cut in such
manner that Its exact place in the
sheet is determined. The design of
the water mark is a ribbon containing
the words: "U. $. Postal Note. :"
and only parts of 1t appear un any
sigle note. The underlying tint GOV
ers the entire surface of the note aud
contains a yignette of the Goddess OF
Liberty, upon which is circle of a
watered silk design for recording the
places OF issue and destination. :
broad tint is made by the myriad
repetition in very small letters II. s
p. N."-United States postal nnic
and these words appear in different
designs on various parts of the race
The back of the note is printed IN
rich, dark green tnk. similar
to a greenback, eXcep. that it Is
done by the surface printing process.
In the center Is geometric4l
lathe work monogram, surrounded by
intricate cycloIdal lathe work. At
either sides are pieces of circular con-
centric lathe work containing more
than forty original cuttings, which
present an insurmountaLie task to
the copnterfeiter. Across the entire
back are the legends required by law
as to the payment of the note Tie
contractors for the new note have had
200 hands employed for ten months
in filling the first order to supply the
5000 Offices of the United States.

Willard owns the North Pacific
Coast railroad, operating in Sonoma
county, and other small systems in
this state. That he proposes making
connection with Oregon by a railroad
of his own running down the coast is
almost certainty, and it is quite
likely that coast people will be con-
vinced of the fact very soon after the
Northern Pacific is completed. -

There are thousands Of people liy-
ing in this country to-day who never
expected slavery and other fixed in
stitutions to be brought to an end in
their day and generation. Those
wrongs to down troddcn race were
deemed invincible, but yet one gener-
alton has seen them blotted out and
now the present one sees Just as great
evils confronted with an army just as
strong as any that ever waged war
for the benefit ef tue oppressed.
Change is written everywhere. The
ills and woes Of mankind are claim
ing attention, and the coming gener-
alton can erect the monument over
many of the fourishing evils of to-
day. In no profession 10 shere more
advancement being made than in the
science of medicine. Physicians are
learning to practice common sense as
we'll as medicine. They are begin
ming to prescribe Peruna and Mana
lin for large number of the com
plants Of mankind, and with aston
ishing success. They should keep
on in the good work and the end is
assured. Send for the book on the
ellis OF Life" and for bottle Of Pc

At last there is promise of Dem
ocratic party. Mr.. Carlisle was last
night chosen Speaker by the Demo
cratic caucus at Washington. That
means change, very great and
beneficent change, in Democratic pcli-
cies. It means that the old fogies of
the party, the men afraid Of their
principles, have lost their hold, and
the young men Of the party-the men
to whom politics mean something
more than mere Office getting-have
come to the front. If the Demo
cratic leaders have energy and intel
igence the caucus action of last eve
ming means a sweeping Democratic
victory next year. For the first time
in many years there is before the
party fair prospect Of such popular
favor as they have long been seek
ing BY many devious and false roads.
AT last they are on the right track

TmDOtcncy Con fessed.

In one respect at least the Republi
can party has been an unparalleled
success. 1t has succeeded in laying
and collecting enormous taxes.
1t has piled up the burdens oftax-
alton beyond all precedent and with
cut mercy.
The Republican party is nothing if
not financier. 1t is continually
pointing with pride to its financial
record. It glories in the immensity
of its collections and in the almost
incalculable magnitude of its dis
