grow less and less as the national surplus

Stamps of the United States.
Chicago News. J

In this day and age we moisten stamp
and affix it to our letters and give it no
further thought, accepting the stamp as
matter-of- course convenience, and many
a person would be wonderously surprised
if they were to be told that their grand
parents never saw postage stamp.
Henry Shaw, the father of Josh Bill.
lings," purchased the first two stamps
ever sold in the United States: on August
6, 1847. He bought one each of the five
cent stamp and the ten-cent stamp. these
two denominations being the only ones
put out at that time. The ten-cent stamp
he gave to Governor Briggs and kept the
fve-cent one for himself.
OF the two stamps first issued Washing
toms portrait was on the ten-cent and
Franklin's on the other. Since that time
the various issues of the United States
stamps would furnish unique portrait
gallery; showing the faces of forty eight
Americans. Washington appears on
twenty-five issues, while Lincoln's pic
ture is on every issue since 1855, except
the Columbian series.
In 1876 a law was passed prohibiting
the United States stamps, thus placing
living men in the same position that
women occupied, whether dead or alive,
for no woInan's portrait has ever graced
a stamp belonging to the United States,
postal or revenue.
Of the two hundred and fifty stamps
which have been issued the values have
ranged from cent to S5, 600. Five dollars
is the highest among postage stamps,
but newspapers stamps reach the hundred
dollar mark, while a revenue stamp may
represent SIS, 600.
Stamps were put on the market in Au-
gust 1847, but were SO little used that
the government had to pass law enforc-
ing prepayment Of postage, which went
into effect in 1885, Before this acti on
was taken scarcely one letter in dozen
was found with stamp affixed. Today
the postoffices of the country sell 1000,
600, 600 stamps counting postal cards
stamped envelopes and stamps of all
kinds) valued at $75,oOO,O0O, during a

The full text of Judge Jackson's in
junction against Debs shows it to be a
very different document from what the
telegraphed abstract indicated. Nowhere
in it is to be found any such language at
the abstract contained. The purpose
Of the injunction is thus stated by the
Judge:
The purpose and object of this re-
straining order is to prevent all unlawful
combinations and conspiracies and to
restrain all the defenders engaged in the
promotion of such unlawful Combinations
and conspiracies from entering upon the
property of the Monongah Coal and Coke
Company described in this order. and
from in anywise interfering with the en-
ployes of said company in their mining
operation, either within the mines or in
passing from their homes to the mines
and upon their return to their homes
and from unlawfully melting persons
who are engaged in working in the
mines, or in any wise advising such acts
as may result in violations and destruc-
ton of the rights of the plaintiff in this
property.
1t was the "unlawfully' melting of the
miners to leave their employment that
Judge jackson forbade, and it was the
holding OF meetings on the company IS
property that he prohibited. By reason
of an erroneous abstract of this order, the
work either of malice or ignorance, Judge
jackson has come in for good deal of
criticism which he did not deserve.

CURRENT COMMENT.
CAUSES OF THE FALL OF SILVER.

For what has taken place already, at
any rate, there is no need to look for ex.
plantations beyond the causes that lie
plainly on the surface. The simple truth
of the matter is that, by falling off in
demand rather than by any increase In
supply, the latter has become still more
in excess of the former than it has been
for some time past. There is an enor-
nous quantity of silver out of the
mines, and nobody wants to buy any ex-
eept the I'm a. IN ths arts NUMBER who
about the last of the important nations
that bought silver for currency purposes.
and now she has gone over to the gold,
using countries. All the old users of
silver money have it to sell, and there is
not nation of any consequence that il
buying it. We need not look further than
that to find sufficient explanation of the
present low price and grounds for expect-
ing that it will yet go lower.

Judge Tuley, of Chicago, has decided
that the ordinance imposing a tax3 on
bicycles is void, unless where they are
used for traffic purposes, and cannot be
collected by the city That part of the
ordinance which requires lights is sus-
tained, and properly SO. But the Judge
is emphatic in his opinion that the dollar
to be paid on each bicycle is not a license,
but tax which the city has no power to
impose; it would be double taxation.
The contention of the city was that, as
an incident to its power to regulate the
use of the streets, it could collect license
fee from all vehicles and bicycles using
the streets. Judge Tuley is of different
opinion.

The Bangor Wing saws:

We are authorized to state that the
Associated Press was imposed upon in
the matter sent to it concerning affairs
in this city. The report in question was
received from what was considered a re-
liable source, and the Associated Press
regrets that the service has been made a
vehicle of attack upon Bangor. 1t is safe
to say that no more "news reports of
that character will be distri buted to
the papers.
We are glad that Bangor is set right,
and is not going to be slandered any
more In the future.

Live stock dealers of the Territory
 wifi be interested in the following im- portant information Bradstreet's, and will appreciate the effort of Attorney General McKenna to protect the live l stock producers. The article referred to is as follows:
 Upon the heels of the decision ren- dered by Judge Foster in the United States Court at Topeka. Kansas, declar- ing the Live Stock Exchange an unlaw. ful combination, comes the announce ment that Attorney-General McKenna has caused proceedings to be instituted in the fedel al court at Omaha, Nebr- aska. to prepetuaIly enjoin the Live Stock Exchange of that city from do- ing business. Similar suits, it is said will be begun against the live stock ex- changes in all parts of the country. The announcement comes in the nature of a surprise, the movement having been conducted with great secrecy.
 "The ground upon which the pro- ceedings have been begun is that the exchanges are organIza tions whose ac tion is violative of the provisions of the sherman antitrust law. Evidently the sweeping scope of that measure is only just beginning to be understood.
