of the Globe, in building on Pennsylvania
avenue between Sd and IL streets, which
Is still standing.
The Present System.
In 1873 the publishers of the Globe failed
to obtain a renewal Of their contract, and
the two Houses took under their sole con-
troll both the reporting and the printing of
the debates. The Congressional Globe
gave place to the congressional Record -
The reporters became in thorough sense
officers Of Congress, and their reports, like
other government work were thereafter
published at the government printing Office,
the Record department of which is now one
of it's largest divisions.
The present House reporters (naming them
according to seniority in servce) are David
Wolfe Brown, John H. White, Andrew De-
vine, a. c. Welch and Frederic Irland. 1t
goes without saying that each of these gen
tlemen. before entering upon his congress
sional work, had had ample experience in
ether branches of reporting. Mr.. Brown,

Money in Stamps.
NO one knows what the government
makes in unused stamps every wear. but
the profit must amount to several thousand
uolars. Not an inconSiderable amount of
this Is due to stamp collectors, and when
the Columbian stamps were issued the post
master General calculated that the cutire
cost OF making new designs and engraving
new plates, as well the additional ex-
pense Of printing the larger stamps, would
be paid by collectors purchases. The de-
paftment was disappointed in this, but its
receipts from collectors in the Columbian
year are estimated at more than a million
dollars.
The Postmaster General spoke freely Of
this source of income in his report, though
ne was disposed to say very little about his
calculations before the stamps were issued
He was afraid some inconsiderate people
might class the United States with those
small nations and dependencies which rely
on the stamp collector as much as on the
tax collector. Every one of the eighteen
dependencies Of France has q full indi-

+ While for political reasons the
Courier cannot support the nom

we cannot refrain from saying
two very good citizens were
placed on the ticket. Mr.. Lewis
Thompson represented this

one has anything to say against
him. He is q strong candidate.
Mr.. Duncan Sinclair. of Griggs

will cast their ballot for him. He

of politics should be against the

The republicans of the 10th
legislative district last Saturday
placed in nomination for the
legislature to represent this
district Mr.. Levi G. Goplerud, of
Steele county, and Hon. Nicolai
Swenson, Of Griggs county. In
our Judgment a stronger ticket
could not have been named. Mr..
Swenson represented the district
in the last legislature and his
strict attention to the welfare of
his constituents and excellent
record made last term. won for
him the unanimous endorsement
of the convention. He will un-
doubtedly be reelected. Mr..
Goplerud has been auditor Of
Steele county for a number Of
years, and enjoys the reputation
of being one Of the most popular
citizens Of Steele county. He is
thorough business man. and
fully understands the needs of
this constituency. We also think

More Silver Legislation.

The coinage act of February
81, 1853. related to the fractional
silver pieces which were crowd
ed out of circulation by foreign
silver pieces. These fractions
of dollar were, equally with the
dollar itself, under valued in the
coins; and. hence. were worth
more in the bullion. They were
gathered up for that purpose,
and the cheaper Spanish and
Mexican fractional dollar pieces
were used in the currency.
