A RELIC OF LINCOLN.
A Philadelphia Woman Has the
Programme He Held when
Shnf


Programme He Held when
shot.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
When Abraham Lincoln fell for
ward, gasping aud dying, in his box
at Ford's Theater Washington, on
the night ofJuly IA, 1865, programme
fiuttered from the stiffening hand
down beside his chair 1t was
trifie then and none of the men VINO
hurried to his side thought that one
day that white scrap would be worth
its weight in gold a hundred times
and that it was destined to prove q
prize to its owner. No such thought
impelled Sergt. Noble McClintock,
Company G. Oath Veteran Reserve
Corps, to secure it. 1t was relic
only, bat now, after the passage of
years, the growth of Lincoln's glory
has almost sanctified it.
Mr.. McClintock is now living in
Frankford, and not long since he
was astonished to see that the Chica.
go Fair managers had offered $4,000
for that programme. He had given
1t TO his daughter, and for years it
has been displayed to hundreds of
friends, and efforts have been made
by several to secure it through pur-
chase. Oae Acquaintance OF Miss
McClintock's in Kentucky has offered
$500, but the tig sum rendered by the
Exposition managers has induced
Miss McCIin took to submit her proofs
and accept the offer.
Mr.. McClintock was at the time Of
the Presidents death First Sergeant
of Company, X, and was stationed
with his corps st Seventh and N.
streets. With others he was detailed
for duty at the theater as q guard to
Mr.. Lincoln. The president himself
had little fear of death at the hands
o. An assassin, but those about him
considered protection an imperative
necessity. Immediately after the
shooting Sergeant McClintock entered
the box and picked up the pro.
gramme.
1t is In perfect condition, except for

About Postage Stamps.

Kate Fields Washington.
1t is barely fifty years since this
nnuvouin' WAS introduced into the
q. 9. The stamp is little older in
tng..nu. When first introduced,
postage stamps were sold In solid
sheets. OF course great many were
wasted In the effort to tear them apart
when there were no perforations. IT,
deed. the loss and inconvenience was
so great that the Government offered
q liberal reward for q patent which
would overcome the difficulty.
The first machine submitted was
one which cut the stamps nearly but
not 9. ii ely apart. while the Post
Office Department was considering
this machine, the Idea of perforating
the sheets in rows each way was
offered and promptly accepted. Moth
ing better has ever been sought.
There was q time when better pa
per and mucIlage was used, and the
prip ting was an Improvement upon
the present stamps, but since we
nave learned that q damp sponge is
fully as good as the tongue in prepar-
ing the stamps for adhesion, tbs
quality of the materials used becomes
of less importance.
The number of postage stamps used
in a year is something enormous. For
instance, the ordinary postal revenue
for the year ending June 30 1891,
exclusive Of the money-order bust
ness. was S65 ,066 293.87. OF this $4l
432, l29 80 came from letter postage.
The bulk of this is, of course, in &c
stamps, and it is safe to put the whole
mum Der OF this denomination used at
more than two billions per annum.
The issuing of postage stamps,
stamped envelopes and newspaper
wrappers all belong 20 one of the d.
visions under the care OF the Third
Assistant Postmaster General. There
is another division of the same bureau
which looks after registered letters
and still another which attends to
the system for the special delivery OF
letters. The classification of mail
matter belongs to this bureau, and il
ia with the Third Assistant Postmas.
ter General or his clerks that news
papers and periodicals have to quar-
rel over their rights to official entry
as second class matter.
A loo special delivery stamp on 9
letter Is supposed to keep it in con
slant motion from the time the letter
is deposited in the main or branct
post office until 1t is delivered Il
the addressee. There is liable to be
a little delay in the starting of {
letter when it Is deposited in a lette
box instead of q postoffice, but every
thing must make way for special de
livery letters after they once get int
the vicinity of q mail bag. The cierl
hustles them out with the first mai
leaving the office and puts them OF
the outside Of packages, or in ,
bundle by themselves, so that tn,
next official can see them at once. /

TO pouch instead of sack, and is
pushed through just as rapidly as a
letter bearing the same stamp.
Last year there were over two aud
half millions of pieces sent by special
delivery, and it is in teresting to note
that the average time consumed in
the delivery of each parcel after it
reached the postoffice of the addressee
was only twenty minutes.

Now, having said all this, we desire
10 ask what assurance we have, or can
have, that he is in sympathy with the
Legislation that we demand, or that
he would give it his approval il he
were IN a condition to do so. A man
may be strictly true in all his judicial
acts, and yet, were the Legislative acts
which We demand submitted to him
for official approval, he might return
them with his veto. We submit that
we have no assurance whatever that
he is in sympathy with this great up
rising OF the people, and those who
are advocating his nomination are all
the more nnwise because we are not
reduced to any such necessity. There
are good men both north and south
concerning whose position there is no
doubt; and whose active and earnest
lsbors in behalf Of our cause entltle
them to consideration. Judge Gresh-

THAT "sOUhLCH,p

Republican papers are telling how
Congressman Ray, OF New York,
"squelchsd" Jerry Simpson in the
House the other day; but they are
careful not to publish the little dls-
logue that took place. People who
know Jerry are not likely to worry over
that "squelch." The simple fact is,
Jerry having permission to ask Mr..
Ray a question, asked one which that
gentleman could not answer except
in the usual Republican style by re-
sorting 10 ridlcule, and even in that
he came of second best. When Jerry
asked his question Mr. Ray said:

stauneh and true by the immortal principles OF
the Republican party, Is increased to sharp
pang by tho thought tnat It's policy is to be
changed, However, such a result iS but the
logical outcome Of the situation. Boom times
or Kansas towns have gone, probably never to
return. One Republican paper and one organ
adVO atlDg the claims IT the opposition party
are all that any county seat town can afford to
support with th't lberallty and generosity which
give them strength and Influence.
Bon has made tlight mistake in
the above. He should have said that

Mr.. J. L. BRADY, OF the Daily
World, is horrfed because Mr..
Wakefield said that be supposed
anybody who could read would un-
derstand that the declaration in the
Peoples party platform that one class
should not be- taxed to build up an
other, is a declaration in favor of free
trade. We advise friend Brady not
to have chill on this account. The
Peoples party believes that if free
sugar is a good thing for the masses
of the people, it would be a good
thing to try the experiment in other
things. The Peoples party will
leave the Democracy far in the rear
in its tariff policy. There is more
than FIVE per cent. between US and the
Republican party on thus question.

While we tuIly believe that very

While we fuIly believe that very
many good men who have hitherto
acted with both the Republican and
the Democratic parties are getting so
exceedingly tired of Republican mis-
rule in this state that they are ready
to join hands and act together in such
manner as will afford the best prom
ise OF the defeat and utter rout of
this common enemy to the interests
OF the people, we do not believe that
either they or the rahk and file Of the
Peoples party are ready to accept
such a sale by any set Of self consti-
tuted political hucksters as that iDdi-
Gated in the dispatch under consider
alton. The masses of the people
propose to have something to say
about these matters this year.
Whether the slate mentioned in
this dispatch is correct or incorrect,
it is we'll for the people to be re-
minded by the possibilities here pre-
sented, that eternal vigilance is not
only the price Of liberty, but the price
of the attainment Of the will of the
people as we'll. II the convention
that is to assemble in the near future
has only to rstify slate previously
constructed the delegates may better
remain at home and save all unneCes
ssry expense.
In our judgment, however, though
men who may be slated for official
positions may be very good men, they
will find their chances before a Peo-
ple's party convention, such as is
likely to assemble, not materially
improved by the fact of having been
so slated. Such methods IRE wrong
IN principle, and are usually attended
with corruption in practice.
It is to guard against Slates and
combinations and inconsiderste &C.
tons that we have opened the columns
OF The ADVOCATE to nominations for
official positions, in order that, when
the convention assemblies, it may have
more than one good man before it
from which choice may be made.
II this plan is carried out, the time
afforded for consideration of the mer-
it's of candidates should result in the
selection Of the best meD, and in the
defeat of all schemes and combins-
tions.
In making these remarks we do not
wish to be understood as antagoniz-
ing any candidates, but simply as an
tsgonIzing states; and this we will
continue to do regardless Of who
makes them or whose interests may
be affected. What is done this year
must be done openly and fairly.

In I@avenwOrth was pxl lalned to-day through

A proposition FOR cOmbln 'tiOn bFtween Demo

Judge ] ,hn Ma tin, Of this city, Democratic
nominee for governor in 1886, and A. w. Harris,
OF LeavenwOIth, prominent Peoples party poll
ticlan, formulated the plan. which meets with
endorsement of the executive committee Of the
Peoples party.
John N. Ives, Democrat who went of with
the People 3 partl, 10 be nominated for gov
ernOr, and the remainder Of the state ticket,
with the exception Il the associate Judge OF the
supreme court, who Is to be Democrat, Is to be
given to th- PeO ple's party. The Peoples parry
Is alsO to hive the Democratic endorsement Of
the Ave Congressional districts now represented
by Clover, simpson. Baker, Otis and Davis, and
the Democrats will have the Peoples party sup
port in the First and Second di tIlctS, and also
the Congressman at large. The Democrats are
tO support the Peoples electoral ticket. In en-
dOrsirg the Peoples electoral ticket the Demo
crats are evidently acting under instructions
from the ma iOnal Democratic central commit
tee.
We answer our Pennsylvania cor
respondent as follows:
First-The report is incorrect in
that Col. A. w. Harris, of Lesven
worth, has not formulated any plan
Of the kind mentioned, nor has he
had anything whatever to do with
any such scheme as that indicated.
We have his assurance, in personal
interview, that the report is absolute
ly without any shadow of foundation
so far as it relates to him.
Second-It is incorrect in that at
the meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Peoples parry central com
mittee recently held la this city, a
meeting of the entire committee is
called for the Both of this month for
the purpose Of calling state oonven.
tion and making the spportionmentof of
delegates to the same, and the
convention will undoubtedly be held
some time in June.
This is another case where a news
paper reporter had to do something
to earn his salary; and having moth
ing of a more sensational character
on his mind, he furnished this report
We may state further that no one
is authorized to make this kind of a
contract in behalf of the Peoples
party; and we doubt very much if
anyone carries the Democratic party
Of Kansas in his vest pocket this year
as his plan would seem to indics'e
Any man or set Of men who would
assume such a degree of responsible
ity on behalf of the Peoples party
would be presumiDg very largely
upon the temper of the approaching
convention; and we are quite sure
that few men would care to under
take IT. They know too we'll the
kind of stuff that Peoples party con-
Ventions aremade of.
That there are those from whom
this kind Of work might be expected
we have before warned our readers,
