.St When Sir Rowland He'll revolutionized
the British postofhce by introducing cheap
postage one of his devices for facilitating
the operation Of his scheme was the pre-
payment Of letters and other nailable mat
ter by means Of small adhesive paper labels,
representing duty of a penny and two
pence. Now two billions h::x hundred and
,thirty-tWo millions of bits Of paper are
stamped, gummed and sent annually to the
postoflces OF the United Kingdom. MIR.
Baines, a former nspector-g general Of mails,
tells this anecdpte about the indirect useful
ness ofspostage- stamps, A. a s
1t is known that the blank margin Of
postage-stamps lis useful IN many ways.

How Treaties Arc Made.

.The treaty -1naking power is given to

ident Harrison in his This Country of
Ours article in May Ladies Home Jour-
nal. stThe initiative-the negotiations
with foreign governments leading up ito
an agreement, and the framing q q the
articles of the treaty--is with the exeeu-
tive. The senate has no part in. the mat
#ter until the president communicate the
treaty. to it, and asks its .concurrences u Slt
may, then, however, either concurs0r re-

T Whensth executive has agreed with any
foreign power upon treaty, and it has
I been duly signed by the p,enip otentiaries
for their respective government nts, It is
sent to the senate for it's concurrence,

Whatever may be said as to- the wisdom

NOT CAUGHT
The Report That s.coin'' Harvey Was
Ill cornered Not True. IA. u

4 Az NSPOAk kAAeAk ~ SOAsA asa ~ 49,
cornered Not True. ... i:
The gold press, carrying for the most
part the reports Of the Western Associat-
ed Press, have been exploiting in edi-
torial columns, the alleged "catch" of
1Coin" Harvey, by Editor Rosewater OF
the Omaha Bee, on the occasion Of IIar-
veys recent speech in Omaha. Next
morning the dispatches from Omaha
blazoned it all over the country that Har--
vey had at last been captured, in his mis-
statements regarding the stealth under
which silver was demonetized in 1913.
1t was stated that Harvey had offered to
give his check For 500 to any person who
would produce paper containing a. re-
port of the demonstration and that Edi-
tor Rosewater had come forward with a
copy of the Bee, containing such news
from Washington, and had claimed the
reward. M j .,-,.-..s.. !. 6. b ..5@z 4:
It will be remembered that when Har-
vey was in Minneapolis he made such a
statement and offer, and that in doing SO
he read from the Minneapolis Tribune
an item Of a few lines, being the .Asso-
ciated Press report, which mentioned the
passage of the mint bill, but which made
no mention whatever Of the; character ot
Isthesbill-or explanation Of it's sweeping ef-
fects. Mr.. Harvey's challenge went un-
covered. When the Bees report went
out, determined to know the facts and
suspecting what they were, the editor OF
the Penny Press wrote to Mr.. Harvey,
calling his attention to the Omaha Incl
dent, and requesting his answer. 1t is
just received and is as follows:
"The Patriots Of America, National Ex-
ecutiye Department., 1862 Washington
Boulevard, Chicago, May 4, 1896.

My Dear Sir:~7I am in receipt Of your

what LL-said in your city, when speaking
there. that there was nothing in the
newspapers of February. 1873. that dis
closed to the people, that silver had been
demonetized. In your city, I read from
the Tribune the four lines that did ap-
pear in the dispatches in; February, 1878:
In Omaha l simply referred to the fact
that there was nothing that disclosed
such news, either that silver WAS de-
monetized or it's legal character taken
from it. The Bee printed the four lines
that I refer to above, which state that
the. amended mint bill had passedsconv

it's cheek for the balance, and claimed the

AYERS
The Only Worlds Fair SarsapariIIa.
AYERS PILLS cure Headache.

Wenz and Mr.. Anderson, and in
these the lie has been given back
and forth so that we are unable to
form an intelligent opinion.
But this we say, that fair and un-
biased public will believe their
public servants innocent until the
contrary is proven beyond a rea-
sonable doubt. In this connection
we like the suggestion that comes
from the Rathdrum Blade, in the
following paragraph:
eve recommend, first, an inves-
tigation by the grand jury, and
second, an order from that body to
the board of county commissioners
to employ an expert to examine the
books of the various county officials
and that such expert be required to
give bonds in an amount sufficient
to guarantee his making a correct
report"
1t would not be bad idea, in the
estimation Of the HERALD, to have
tn; books exported once in a while
anyway. We have been running
along now twelve or fifteen years
and in all that time, we believe, the
books have never been exported.
Without going into details, it must
be appearant to all that it would be
good policy to have the books ex-
ported once in while. By so do
ing, no suspicion is necessarily
cast upon any official. 1t would
be better all around for officials
and for the public.

the discussion of the condition of
our county finances could not have
been carried on in spirit of fair
ness and candor. Abuse is not argu-
ment. Mudslinging throws no
light upon the subject, except as it
shows the motive of it's author.
The public may be entertained for
"A day or two with these sensational
and infamable articles, but they
soon run their course, and the
people realize that they have not
bsen benefited thereby. Some smart
politician has gained little adj
vantage or has over-reached him
self and fallen down. But the rate
of taxation increases and the debt
continues to pile up.
What the taxpayers want to
know is what is the matter and
how to effect remedy. They do
not care for any playing to the gal
leries, except as it affords them a
little temporary diversion, and this
playing to the galleries will not
count for much either unless &C
companied by something substan-
tial. 1t is not such an easy matter
to pull the wool over the eyes of the
general public as some people inn
agine. 1t takes ga smart duck" to
SUCCESSFULLY pose as a patriot while
his patriotism springs from selfish
motives. 1t requires mighty
clever pen when you get into the
newspapers. The people will catch
on. They seem to catch the in
spiration from the air they breath.
1t don't have to be pounded into
them.
The discussion so far has consist
ed of charges and counter charges.
Epithets and counter epithets.
Mr.. Thos. E. Anderson tired on
virgin ground in the beginning of
his first communication to the Spo-
kesman-Review, and it would have
been well for his peace of mind as
well as that of his co-laborer, Mr..
Herren, had he exhausted that sub
ject before he proceeded further,
Mr.. Anderson says:
"There is a legalized extrava-
gance in this state for which the
people are themselves to blame.
Here is a good field for investi-
CATION and discussion. Now is the
proper time to look into the sub
ject also, so that we can elect men
to go to the legislature who will
make it their first object to remedy
these laws if they are at fault. 1t
must be admitted that our courts
and our system Of county govern
ment are expensive. Who can tell
us how these expenses are to be re-
duced? That is the man the tax
payers are looking for,
Now about the irregularities
complained of by Mr.. Anderson.
He sums up his case as follows:
"Much of the indebtness of the
counties of this state is attributable
either to the malfeasance or mis-
feasance of these county officers"
Much abuse has been hurled at
Mr.. Anderson on account of the
charges he has made The taxpay-
ers care nothing about the contro-
versy between him and DR.. Wenz
The question is can he substantiate
the charges Of malfeasance or mis-
feasance. Ifso, he will receive the
appreciation of the public. The
HERALD knows nothing about the
matter, except what may be CLEAN
ed from the articles written by DR.
