Washington letter.
"How much do you suppose the new
stamps cost the government 1 was
asked the other day by Assistant Post
master General Hazen. You don't know,
but I'll tell you-just o Is cents per 1000.
They cost the contractors more than that.
The plates, paper, printing, perforating and
putting the mucilage on is worth something;
then they must be packed and done up in
high-priced envelopes. Half the postofices do
not call for more than 100 stamps at a time,
but they have to go through the anne rou-
tine as in filling an order of millions for
New York 1t costs them more than they
get" Where is the profit In the contractP'
1 naturally asked. Fright here" was the
response. Gan the countries on this conti-
mont south of us have their postage stamps
made in this country. They prefer the con-
Germ which supplies our government. This
is the American Bank Note company, OF New
York. But they have to pay from five to
ten times the price we pay, and they find no
fault. There's where the profit comes in
from making our stamps. 1t Is the only way
TO secure these other good contracts" People
have wondered often why the government,
with its great bureau Of printing and engrav-
ing here in Washington, is always underbid
by outside parties in the stamp and postal
note contracts. Perhaps they will see more
clearly after reading this paragraph

years every important elective state
office at Columbus, o., is filled by q
democrat. The only exception in any
grade is one member of the board of

rubbing his eyes, glad to accommodate YOU

"The necessary papersF
"Yes," said grandfather, Hthe necessary pa,

blanks.
The right one found, he filled it out and
handed it to Jones TO sign.
As Jones read the paper his knees knocked
together. 1t was a mortgage on his house and
lot and security that he would return the UNI.
brella in good order within fifteen minutes.
He tailored:
"Wh-why, grandfather, I only want to bor-
row your umbrella to run across the street
with. I'll fetch it back in two seconds.

his bald spot, until they formed two sky
lights in his intellectual roof, and looking

Jones thought of his wife and babies and
the pleasant home that was all his own. Then
he looked at the rain that was pounding at
the door and windows as II to get in out OF
the wet. A glance at his Christmas oyercoat
and Jones was decided.
"Pll risk It, he said, and, stepping to the
desk with measured tread and slow, he
clapped his name to the mortgage, and was

A sAD-EYED GERMAN
Tells the story or His Fight Against
n Depot IN mop

[Omaha Cor. Courier Journal
There is a very curious object just in front
OF the Union depot, which generally creates
considerable surprise among strangers. The
depot, a splendid structure of granite, with
its surrounding grounds laid off in walks and
flowers, is the pride of Colorado. Strangers
look at this magniicence and beauty and
turn, the more surprised, to gaze at the un-
slightly object opposite. This object Is a
rough fence, twenty or thirty feet high, be-
hind which towers, several stories high, the
sham front of a house-a wooden wall painted
to represent the front OF a house. In tho
windows of this sham house are no glass panes.
but painted on the boards are rude figures OF
men and women looking out of the sham
windows Over the whole curious structure
are painted a number of signs and placards:
Down with monopoly l Still Liveil Come
and see me, Behind the fence" etc. On the
arrival of trains a man appears on one of the
upper platforms or scaffolds and pounds On n
triangle, at the same time crying out at the
top of his voice, Down with monopoly
'Come behind the fencel' etc. The curious
traveller who accepts the invitation and goes
behind the fence is still more surprised by
what he nnds there. A low, dingy room,
with windows that give little light; a shelf
with a few beer and pop bottles, a cake Of
wormy cheese and a sad-eyed German behind
a counter. This Is the interior of the
strangely placarded place. Even at midday
1t is dark in this gloomy room surrounded by
its three-story fence.
'"They have ruined me-" the German said.
1.-TWO years g l did a good business. The
Union depot wanted to buy me out, but I
didn't want to sell. Then they tried a freez
ing-out game. They builta fence around my
house. l made the house two stories high.
The Depot company raised the fence again.
l saw it was easier for them TO raise a fence
than for me to raise my house. so l Just ran
up a wooden wall and painted it like a house.
The depot men kept on building their fence
higher, but | wouldn't give in, and every
time they made "a raise l ran up the front of
my house, and, you bet. Pm still on top" he
concluded with a sickly smile.
In a small sense the German Is on top. His
sham house towers above the depot fence,
but the real house-theh house he lives in-is
completely surrounded and cut off from
light and the patronage of the travelling pub
Tic. 1t l. only a question of time when tho
unsightly object will be replaced by a hand
some building or laid of in tasteful walks.

A New Kind or Goldfish.

Boston Commercial Bulletin.
During the past week a new fish has been
brought to the attention Of the Wholesale
trade in Boston. It's appearance here Is tho
result of the United States Fish commission's
efforts to bring to public notice such newly
discovered fish as are marketable for food.
This fish is commonly known as black cod
fish and is found in great abundance in
Puget sound and may be very easily taken.
Outside of it's dark color the fish closely re-
sembles our own cod, but is rather smaller, II
those shown are OF average size. 1t has an
oily taste that would hardly make 1t popular
in our markets, at least, IL prepared for the
table as our Goldfish are. The specimens were
dry sailed as they would most naturally be
marketed in that way. But coming at this
time when our market is unusually full of
native cod and with 10 especial fear OF n
scarcity for years to come, the Puget sound
cod is likely TO receive little attention. It is
well, however, to know Of its existence and
OF its quality as n food fish.

With this issue the LEADER passes
into new hands. 1t will BIS published
hereafter by a corporation composed OF
a number Of gentlemen of the demo
cratic faith political, and of party
faith triumphal. Being the property
of many it will endeayor to speak for
the many, and, it is to be hoped, to
many. 1t is decidedly democratic in
the matter OF ownership and name; it
will endeavor to be so in its utterances;
and, although it may fall short of the
mark, it will aim to represent the dem
ocracy of the territory and of the
country faithfully, and, it is hoped, in
t%elligently.
1t is not conceived to be the duty of
TIE DEMOCRATIC LEADER to espouse
every party movement, simply because
1t is such; nor to protect and defend
every member or every measure of the
party, because they are such. But due
regard will be had for fairness and the
general good.
OF one thing the people may be as
sured. The paper will continue in the
good work of advancing the welfare of
the territory. The material develop
ment of this vast empire and the con-
servation of Its growing interests are to
be of the leading objects of the new
paper.
OF course, it is understood that any
body else can run a paper better h
those who are running 1t. To those
who may think so during the career of
the LEADER under the present manage
ment, the invitation is extended to
come In and try it. If this be declined,
let those who carp forever after hold
their peace.
AS to the news feature of the paper,
it must speak for itself. Enough is
said as to the main issue, and with
these few remarks" the new DEMO
CRATIC LEADER bids you good norm
ing" THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER.

IT is related of President Grevy, who
is known to be a skillful billiard player
that he recently invited the famous
professional player, Vignaux, to the
Elysee, and that the two men played
together. Rumors are now afoat that
the president actually beat the profess
fessional player, and that Vignaux is
somewhat of a courtier.
