At a public meeting in Morristown
where new charter was being discussed,
speaker favored leaving the amount to be
raised by taxation to the people, saying
that the people in the main were honest
and could be trusted. Vice Chancellor
Pitney jumped to his feet and exclaimed;
mo. sir, you can't trust the people. Such talk
is nonsense You can't trust them with matters
ing more trouble to-day than anything else"
The Sunbeam thinks that would be an
elegant platform for Mr.. Pitney, or his son
to stand on when running for Governor.

Major Carson writes from Washington
to the Ledger, relative to home rule for
Cuba:
So far as the granting of autonomy is
concerned, officials of the state depart
ment give it as their opinion that very
liberal plan will be proposed, which will
allow self-government to Cuba, reserYing
only the right of veto to the crown. This
form of autonomy would be the same as
Great Britain allows to Canada and to
Australia. Such proposition would be
acceptable to the administration, and
would In its judgment meet the require
ments of the situation.

At this writing sugar stock is selling at
$3.50, the highest notch ever reached. A
year ago it sold at $103, so its $4,000, 900
of stock has gone up $39,950,0OO If we
had had the making of tariff bill, sugar
stock would not have gone up one cent.
Farm Journal
The new tariff is the direct cause of the
advance in Sugar Trust Stock. 1t is also
the direct cause of the advance in the pro-
duct of Trusts, and even the Constitution
acknowledges it is not the cause of the ad-
vance in the price of wheat. It's Trust
tariff.

In 1851 the Maine legislature. after
years of Dow's bombardment, passed
the famous prohibition law.
The biography of Neal Dow deals
with what may be large figures. At

four times, and landed in Libby prison.
At an age when most men are dead he

We neglect the memorials to our great
men in this country, unless ample provi-
sion is made in anticipation to keep them
in repair. Our monumental outbursts in
their failures are almost laughable. II
there is monument in the Union that
should be well cared for, aside from those
of Washington, it is the tomb of Abraham
Lincoln at Springfield Ill.-the city of his
home and the State of his adoption. Yet
the Chicago Tribune states that the elabor-
ate monument to Lincoln at Springfield is
fast crumbliDg away. 1t is doubtful, in
fact, if the structure will stand much longer
unless extensive repairs are made, and
some morning the telegraph may announce
that the monument has fallen and lies a
shapeless mass of brick, mortar and stones
above the coffin of the illustrious President.
The situation as to the monument has been
growing worse for ten years. Two years
ago the Illinois Legislature voted $4,000
to repair the monument, but the money
was wasted. The Governor of the State
announces that he will recommend to the
Legislature at its next session an appro-
priation of 100000 to take down the pre-
sent structure, lay new and better founda-
tion and rebuild the monument in more
enduring way. As the State has assumed
the duty of guarding Lincoln's remains, it
should do this with as little delay as
possible.

ssJosh Billings y Father Was the First
Purchaser, just Fifty Years Ago.
FIFTY years ago-in July, 1877
Uncle Sam issued his first postage
stamps writes Fannie Mack Lothrop
in Ladies' Home Journal. ''In Eng
land, seven years before, Rowland
Hill, father of the penny post intro
duced the sticking plasters,' as the
stamps were contemptuously called.
John NJ. Niles, our acknowledgements
at that time, tried heroically, but in
vain, to move congress to authorize
stamps for this country. His successor,
Cave johnson, was more fortunate, and
the bill desired was approved on March
3, 1S47, the stamps not being issued,
however, till August, though the time
appointed was July 1. Only two values
of the new stamps were introduced in
1S47-a five and ten-cent stamp, bear
ing, respectively, the portrait of Frank
lin in a bronze tint and Washington in
black.
''The first purchaser of stamps in the
United States was Henry Shaw, the
father of Henry Wheeler Shaw (better
known as Josh Billings the humor-
ist). Mr.. Shaw was in the postmaster
generals office on August 6, 1s47, when
Mr.. johnson entered with the printer
from whom he had just received sheets
of the new stamps. Mr.. johnson passed
a sheet to Mr.. Shaw for inspection
After giving the stamps hasty glance

The Spreewald is the subject of a
paper in Century. The writer says:
Strange, indeed, that so near Berlin so
old-time and curious community
could have remained reasonably uncon-
taminated by the hordes of picnickers.
The Spreewald is too near a great cap
ital for foreigners to hear much of it.
The museums and palaces of Berlin, the
palaces of Potsdam, absorb all the
spare energy of foreign visitors. And
for convenient outfights it is little
too far for most burghers of Berlin.
Some have country places in and near
the Spreewald. Many visit it OCCASION
ally. 1t is favorite place for people
from Dresden and Leipsic who can give
several days to exploring its watery
labyrinths. Especially for the teaching
guild is it a favorite resort. Every vii
lage has its inns, and at Burg, where
Vendish services are held in the old
church and the costume remains the
most antique, there are several famous
taverns. One is the bleachery where

Color Line In Britisb A-m~

With all England's condemnation of
the social disadvantages to which the
colored race is subjected in the United
States, she is giving abundant evidence
of being imbued with radical preju-
dices that are every bit as strong.
Thus, the volunteer regiments of the
great universities have declined to ad-
nit to their ranks students of Indian
or of African origin. and a number OF
other volunteer and militia corps, in
Guiding the Inns of Court battalion
composed of members of the legal pro-
