How Postage Stamps are Made.

The design Of the stamp Is engraved
on steel, and, in the printing, plates are
used on which 200 stamps have been en-
graved. Two men are kept busy at
work covering these with colOred inks
and passing them TO a man and girl who
are equally busy printing them with
large rolling hand presses. Three of
these little squads are employed all the
time. After the small sheets OF paper
containing 200 printed stamps have
dried enough, they are sent into another
room, and gummed. The gum used for
this purpose is q peculiar composition,
made Of the powder of dried potatoes
and other vegetables, mixed with water.
After having been again dried, this
time on LITTLE racks famed by steam
power for about an hour, they are put
between sheets Of pasteboard, and press
ed in hydraulic presses capable of ap-
plying weight Of 2, 200 tons. The next
thing IL 10 cut the sheets IN two, each
sheet, Of course, when cut, containing
100 stamps. This Is done by q girl with

which would destroy too many stamps.

ed once more. and then packed and
labeled and slowed away 20 be sent out
20 the various offices when cTdersd. II
a single stamp Ia torn OF in any way
mutilated, the whole sheet of 100 stamps
Is burned. Not less than 100000 are
said 20 be burned every week from this
cause. The greatest care is taken in
counting the sheets of stamps to pre-.
vent pilferirg by the employees ard il
is said that, during the past twenty
years, not a single stamp has been lost
in this way. During the process OF
manufacturing the sheets are counted
eleven times.

them until they shall have been repaired
and the Wentwo:th street church is con-
sldered unsafe. st. johannes has also
sustained injury. AS all of our people
have suffered heavy losses in their homes
and business, third of the property of
all the inhabitants OF our city having
been destroyed, they are not able to
restore the churches.

John a. Owen, ope of the prominent
republicans of central Dakota and o
member OF the new central committee,
appears il this issue in an open letter in
which hs freely expresses himself reia.
tive TO the action of the late Yankton
convention ia placing future political
control in the hands of defeated
northern faction. Mr.. Owen, in his letter
goes no further than to reflect the honest
sentiment of true 1epublicanism in Da.
kota. Among tie participants in the
convention who expected the will OF the
majority to be the will of the conven-
ton there is indignation freely expressed
over the creation of central committee
which places the most pepulous half of
territory in the minority upon the com.
mittee and gives to factionaI element
IN the north majority in the commit.
tee.
The old central committee at its Aber-
deen meeting unanimously adopted this
resolution, which was printed for weeks
il the republican papers of the territory
at the foot of the convention call:
Believing it would be of advantage to
the party, this committee recon mend to
the next territorial convention that the
republican central committee of the ter
ritory be selected hereafter as follows:
That the delegates from each Legislative
district be authorized to name q member
OF the central committee, and report it
TO the convention, and that the conven-
tlon snail select one from each judicial
district OF the territory. for approval,
and one member ut large, who shall be
chairman. This resolution is presented
with the call in order that members of
the convention may be given notifca.
ton for discussion.
These recommendations of the COM
mittee were wholly ignored. 1t was sup.
posed in the convention that the COM
mittee selected to organizea central com.
mittee would perform its work in
the interest of the expressed desire
OF the party and little attention
was given to it's conclusions. When the
report OF the committee was adopt
ed not more than one. quarter OF
the delegates to the convention were in
the hall and the members of the con.
vention, with the exception of those in.
terested in the arrangement and few
others, did not know who their central
committee was composed of until they
read the list in the newspapers.
Mr., Owen states the case correotl,
when he says the central committe,
slate was agreed upon the night pre-
Vions. or rather very early on the morn
ing OF the convention. The arrange
ment was evidently unknown TO
majority of the convention, who did no
realize that it was necessary for them t
watch the. work of their friends down t

Treaty liquidation,

Washington, Sept. 24.-Consul Cen
eral Williams, at Havana, confirms the
report that the Madrid government has
sustained the Cuban authorities in their
refusal to carry out the treaty arrange
ment as 1t is understood in this country,
making mutual concessions to America n
and Spanish vessels trading between
Cubs and this country. This will pro.
bably lead to correspondence between
this government and the Spanish au.
thoritles to ascertain what the latter
mean, and ultimately to the annulment
OF the arrangement or the conclusion OF
new one.

The Dakota outrage is attracting at
tention in the states and is being used
by campaign orators. At Webster City,
Iowa, Governor Larabee eaid
Hero the question presents itself
however: Are they the democrats
sincere in their promises and profes.
sions? While they profess sympathy
with ireland in Its struggle for home
rule, they deny home rule to the terri
tory OF Dakota, which is three times as
large as Ireland, and is largely peopled
with our own children. who by the law
OF nature should be most dear to our
hearts. An English vote of sympathy
to the disfranchised people of Dakota
would be as graceful proceeding as are
the democratic addresses OF coincidence
to the down-trodden people of Ireland.
Ex-Governor Gear. in the frst Iowa
congressional district, remarked in q
speech:
Let me call your attention briefly to
the outrage perpetrated by the demo
cratic party on the people of Dakota,
Every democratic convention which has
assembled thIs year has adopted resolu-
tlons In favor of, and in sympathy with,
the idea OF home rule in Ireland, and IN
these expressions of sympathy we repub.
licans can and do heartily agree. Yet [
am forced to believe our democratic
friends do not "practIce what thew
preach" tor we find that for three years
past the democratic party in congress
has thwarted the expressed will of nearly
o50,OO0 people-nearly four times the
mum Der which our own state had at the
time of her admssion--a large portion
OF which are emigrants from Iowa, by
denying them admission to the unlon.
This is not from any just cause Of OBJ
lection, but in obedience to the dictates
OF partisan politics, and to prevent any
increase OF the republican majority in
the senate. This, fellow citizens, strikea
me as political outrage on the rights
of American citizens. Bnt while this ia
so, it is in keeping with the suppression
policy which controls constituencies.
not by honest argument, bnt by sheer
strength and intimidation.
