Eight Thousand Different kinds Issued

Il seems almost incredible that there
should be 5000 varieties Of postal cards,
but that is the extent claimed Tor the Wat
con collection. These, however include
various issues Of the same nation and de-
nomination, and also cards issued for spe-
clal occasions,
Postal cards have been In circulation "a
years, declares the collector. The idea
originated with DR.. Emanuel Hermann, a
professor Of national economy AZ the Im-
perial Academy OF Wiener In Neustadt,
Lower Austria
His ideas, under the head Of New Means
OF Correspondence by Post, :" were published
and attracted the attention OF the govern
ment officials The director general OF posts
took up the idea and succeeded in having
an issue Of postal cards put in circulation
In 1899. The original name given 10 them
was the Correspondent karte," aud this
has been retained ever since. This new
move on the part of Austria quickly OK
cited other countries TO adopt a similar
method Of correspondence, and before the
close Of 1870 nearly all the European coun-
tries were using cards.
Germany was really the second country
TO use them. and special series was issued
TO the soldiers engaged In the Franco-Ger-
man war. These were called the field post
correspondents cards and were sold I'M
stamped TO the soldiers at the rate OF about
FIVE for a cent The soldiers had the priv
ilese Of using them without psying post
a.se. Another series was issued for civilians
These had place left for a stamp, and the
writer had to atiix a German postage stamp
To the card before posting. Tho field post
cards are now rare the used ones being
scarcer than the unused ones.
Another card Of equal rarity and also a
reminder OF the same war Is the balloon
postal card issued by France during the
Siege Of Paris. The cards were sent up
from Paris in balloons, and the mail bags
were thrown off into the surrounding
country where there was the least possible
opportunity Of their capture by the enemy
They were smaller than the postal card
now IN use and were covered with warlike
expressions, AS paris defles the enemyw
GLORY and conquest signify crimes; defeat
signifies hate and desire for vengeance"
"only one war is Just and rlght-that for
independence"
This United States was rather backward
in adopting the postal card system and did
not use them until 1873. The first issue
printed WAS Of reddish color, with the head
Of Liberty Ia the right hand corner As n
rule Uncle Sans cnrds have been inferior
to those of other countries in excellence Of
engraving. The designs also have not been
very artistic. The blue card bearing the
portrait OF General Grant, Is the finest speCi-
men Of art work issued by the United States
goyernment-New York Evening World.

The arrival of the steamers ems, from
Genoa and "Alesa' from Marseilles at
New York City on Wednesday with 1,sl9
Italian immigrants has excited much COM
ment in the maritime, heslth and business
circles Of this country. This last cargo is no
doubt the foreruuner of many more, the
very classes that led TO the cholera scare last
summer and fall and the very classes that
already have our mines the mills, factories,
farms, and the jails packed almost to suf-
location. The great influx has started again
aud now is the time to act
If the bill passed by the last Congress gives
the President power to shut out these un-
welcome newcomers let him apply the REM
edy at once, for delays are dangerous and 1t
is much easier to put up the bars at once than
it win be when thousands are half way
through.
The immigration question is the most inn
portant one before the American people to-
day and the officials who show disposition
to stand by the will Of the people in uphold
ing the last enactments of Congress relating
to immigration will alone be recognized as
the friends of the American government.
Those who ignore this must fall before
the power of the ballot sooner or later and
retire to the rear ranks with the stigma of
having been false to their country.
President Cleveland can make himself the
most popular man in America, or one of the
most unpopular 1t all depends on how he
views the issue Of the day,
There are no people in the United States
that recognize the Importance OF stringent
immigration measures more than the people
of this section of the anthracite coal fields.
One of the clergymen of this town states that
y during the past seven months his congrega
ton has lost 81 members and he traces cause
directly to the constant influx of foreigI
cheap and pauper labor. The members h,
lost belonged to families dependent upon
work in the mines for support and all haC
English, Welsh and American miners at thei
head. Some of them have returned t,
England and Wales, and others have sought
. the West for relief
This is not idle newspaper talk, but fact
based upon the statements Of minister o
the gospel, who has publicly declared tha
after careful thought and reason he has com,
to the conclusion that if the present rate o
immigration to this country keeps up it will
" be but short time when the cheap anC

A number Of friends of teachers have in
quired the past few days if coupons from
which the dates have been clipped will be
received as votes IN answer we would say
that all coupons from which the dates have
been clipped accidentally aud which are re-
turned within ten days from the date of
their issue will be received as votes, SO that
no one need throw away coupons simply be-
cause the dates have been cut off. Should
the contest editor find out that any coupons
sent in without the dates attached are more
than ten days old he will, of course, have the
right to reject The point is: The mere ac-
cidental cutting Off Of the date will not be
considered invalidating the coupon.
Interest in the contest is now increasing
more than it has at any time since the first
month and special activity is noticeable in
the ranks Of those teachers who have hereto
fore been way down the line Some of these
teachers are now polling an average of over a
hundred votes a day and within the next two
or three weeks their records will show
thousands instead of hundreds of votes to
their credit
