Did you ever spoil stamped
envelope in attempting to write an
address upon it? Or have you
lost stamps because they have got
sticky and adhered TO each other?
If so you should know that STAN
ped envelopes which are only
spoiled by mistakes committed in
superscrbing will be redeemed by
the postoilice department at their
stamp value. Postage stamps
damaged by sticking together in
warm weather or for other causes
before using may be returned TO
the department and their value
will be repaid to the purchaser or
exchanged for new stamps and
sent by postmasters redeeming
them to the department and records
are kept Of them. These regula-
tiOns are, we think, not generally
known at large and their publica-

Speech Of Hon. Bourkc Cochran at
Union League Club. Chicago.
CHICAGO. Feb. "a throng which
tilled the auditorium to the doors this
afternoon, attended the Union League
clubs Washington birthday observance.
The Hon. BOurke Cochran, OF New York.
the orator OF the day, was checred fire.
qucntly and heartily throughout his
eloquent address.
In discussing the alliance with Great
Britain he said: What could W., gain
by alliances. and what would We risk?
We could never maintain that moral
weight which We enjoy day II the at
titude OF impartIality and benerolence
were substituted for special friendship
FOR any particular one. But 1t is stated
that We spoke the same language as
England and that therefore we should
be bound in close relations to her. Now
an alliance with England or with the
Anglo-SaSon race might BE- Il good
thing or u bad thing according 10 It's
object. To-day these two nations are
allied for every purpose that makes for
the spread OF civilization and the diffu-
sion Of Jesus Christ. They have been
allied since the very beginning OF our
existence. That alliance no treaties can
cement and no treaty. whatever It's pro-
visions can embark us in enterprises or
aggressionS or conquest or involve us in
the Cnbals or intrigucs OF any European
country. In this cOuntrywe have never
had occasion to complain OF the English
people. 1t was not the English masses
that assaiIcd our colonial rights.
The first amendment Of our COnstitu-
tion was to incorporate in Its provisions
the English bill Of rights. An alliance
TO advance the principles Of English
Jurisprudence already exists. The true
principles OF English law are better un-
dcrstOod here than they are in London.
II we are to have an alliance, let 1t be
an alliance TO advance the welfare OF
the masses An alliance which will aid
the spread Of that English law, which
IL the foundation Of our own Jurispru-
dence here. at once the pride and hope
Of humanity which IN the delight OF the
liberty, the guide Of progress the ram
part OF the world, We are ready TO unite
with England. and all the world.
