STAMPS AND COINS.

Assistant Postmaster-General Mer-
ritt has decided upon the designs for a
series Of new postage stamps for the
Island of Cuba, and they will be sup
piled as promptly as possible by the
bureau of engraving and printing. An
other series of stamps will be made
for Porto Rico, and third set for the
Philippine islands. They will be fur
nished by the United States, but the
proceeds OF their sale will be turned
into the local treasures until congress
shall order otherwise. All three Of
the new colonies are to be treated by
the postoffice department as foreign
countries until some permanent form
Of government has been adopted for
them, and the old rates Of postage will
be maintained. 1t vail require a FIVE
cent stamp to carry a letter to Cuba
and Porto Rico as before.
General Adjutant Won Petroff, now
postmaster general of Russia, intro
duced novel letter boxes throughout
the Russian cities. and ordered the
more frequent collection OF letters
from the boxes. The new boxes stand
on corners of streets, so that the public
can reach them from sidewalks; the
letter carrier who collects the mail
opens them from the street side with
out even dismounting from his wheel.
All the collecting carriers have been
provided with tricycles having q large
receptacle for the mail matter in front
OF them.
The stamps of the Cuban republic.
printed year or so ago, as a means
OF raising funds for the insurgents,
have been sold in large quantities,
though they have never been recog-
nized as postage stamps. II letter
franked with one Of these labels was
sent to the United States it was treat
ed by the postal authorities as wholly
unpaid, and the postage collected upon
delivery. Having no recognized gov
ernment the Cubans could not issue
postage stamps and expect them to
be honored in other countries.
The duke OF York, who Is now about
35 years Of age, and in direct line to
the throne of England, is most con.
spicuous figure in the stamp world. He
is a collector, and, Of course, has a
very fine collection, although it does
not compare with any other noted al.
buns in Europe, but then he is a royal
highness. and that makes heap Of
difference, in the stamp world as else.

The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1899-04-17

There is a good bit Of sound advice
in the words OF Congressman Curtis
recently uttered in relation to the ad
justment OF the Indian territory!
at is impossible and ought not 10
be exPooted that any measure for rad
ieal ehsnge in the government of the
1--WE tribes can at first be perfect.
Whatever measure may be adopted
viii, when put in practical operation
be found in many points deficient and
inadequate. These Objectionable fea-
lures may not be permanent. They
can be changed from time TO time as
experience teaches the right way and
justice demands alteration. One rea
son. it seems TO us, that the treaties
have been so universally unpopular
lies in the fact in the making OF these
treaties the commissioners have tried
to cover every question in details FOR
all time TO come. The real desirable
and essentially important features
have been smotbered with innumer-
able provisions OF secondary signiti-
cance: many Of which are both unnec.
essary and obnoxious. Those who
really want the speedy adjustment Of
the anomalous conditions that obtain
in this country are ready to favor
any measure that provides for the es-
Hential elements sought after, namely,
allotment and adjustment Of townsite
titles. The numerous little problems
of secondary significance can be ad-
usted as they arise from time to time
by congressional legislation or depart
mental rulings. The application Of
any sort OF remedy is better than
nothing, and the sooner the suspense
is ended snd some radical stand is ta-
ken looking TO the settlement the
better for all concerned.

rExls AND rnE rrRaIronJr,

Texas papers appear to be much ex-
ercised over the ultimate status Of the
two territories. Texas has long
claimed the Indian Territory aud its
tenacles reach far up into Oklahoma
The Denison Herald says:
The territory north OF Texas will
soon be state. That is the inevitable.
1t is the destiny If you will With the
opening OF the country will come its
speedy settlement. Within another
decade times and conditions will be
completely changed and a new phase
OF commercial ond agricultural possi-
bilities will be presented to Texss.
What Texas business men should DO
is 10 grasp tEe situation before il is
too late, bring 10 Texas towns the
trade of this new territory soon TO be
settled, see that all rc Is run to Tex
as and that the Texas jobbers can get
an even break or little better than
al even break with Kansas City and
other towns for Territory trade. The
opening Of the Indian Territory should
mean an increase Of trade for Texas
instead OF decrease. WIN il? II all
depends on Texas and Texans.
Replying 10 the above observation
the Purcell Register says;
That's the proper argument for
Texas, but the state 70 be will do the
proper thing by supporting its own
cities and towns. The territory has
always been looked upon a. a tributary
OF Texas. When we make state we
should cease the tributary existence
and become a sell f-deuendont self
supporting community In the time
