stamps will be another evidence of the in
tenton of the government to free Cuba.
IT is the first time in the history of the
postotiice department that 1t has been
called upon to prepare stamps for another
country. At present two kinds of stamps
are in use in Cuba. the regulation United
States stamp and the same stamp with
the word Cuba and the denomination in
Spanish imprinted across the face in red.
similar to the imprinted revenue stamps
issued when the war act went into effect.
The department prepared the imprinted
stamps for the Cuba mail service, but
finally consented to permit the use Of the
regular ordinary United States stamps to
Cuba.
In Porto Rico the stamps now in use
are the ordinary United States stamps,
with the words Porto Rico" and the vai-
ne printed across the race In spanish.
The department does not contemplate at
present making any issue of stamps Tor
Porto Rico similar to the Cuban issue.
Later stamps may be prepared for the is
land, but they will be the United States
stamps, with simply the denominations in
Spanish and possibly the words Porto
Rico on them.
In the philippines the United states
stamp is used exclusively at present and
without any imprint. \ series of stamps
may be prepare for them. No stamps
except those for cuba. however, will be
prepared for the colonies until after the
ratification of he treaty of peace is ex-
changed.

SPECIAL CUBAN STAMPS.
Government Will Issue New Series For
Temporary Use in the Island.

The postoffice department at Washig-
ton is preparing to issue IL special set of
stamps for Cuba, and the design has been
approved by the postmaster general. The
issue Will consist of l, ?, 3, and 10 cent
stamps. Director Rathbone of the Cuban
mail service wishes to have few stamps
of larger denominations, and the matter
is held up pending further information
from him.
The designs were prepared at the bur
eau of printing and engraving from pic
lures furnished by the postotiice depart
ment. The cent, or centavo, stamp has
the word Cuba across the top, with "a ''l'
in each of the lower corners. In the CEN
ter is picture of the statue of Columbus
in the courtyard of the palace of the cap
tain general in Havana. 1t will be print
cd in green. There are two designs for
the centavo stamp. The first has Cuba
across the top, and the plantation scene
i'll the center and - centavos' at the bot
tom. The other has the plantation scene
in the upper left hand corner, with the
word Cuba across the center, the figure
. underneath and centavos at the bottom.
The first gives more prominence to the
plantation. This stamp Will be in red.
The cent stamp has the word cuba
across the top, and in the center is a rep
resentation Of the allegorical hgure of
Cuba which stands in the plaza of Hava-
ma, woman seated on IL throne. 1t is
called La Guiana" On either side of
the figure is the figure and at the bot
tom the word centavos. The cent stamp
has the picture of a merchant steamer at
full speed, typifying commerce. On the
side is wealth of palms and tropical
foliage and at the top the wore Cuba.
Across the bottom is - centavos." On the
10 cent st amp is depicted a farming scene
in Cuba. A Cuban is driving two oxen
harnessed to the primitive plow in use in
the island with the long upright stick BY
which it is guided. The word Cuba APP

HOW CHINA MAY BE SAVED.

A policy If saving China against com
plete and ire trcyahle dissolution can on
~ hope to meet with success by the cX-
trcse Of patience and by clearing tho
ground. 1t is quite clear that China can
not be saved by means Of the existing
Chinese government and Manchu Dynas-
ty. Both are hOpclesslN dccayed and
moribund. The ruling caste stands plodg-
ed to opposition to reform, ana the whole
of the imperial Manchu clan is thinking
of nothing but the preservation of its own
privileges andallowances as a first charge
on the resources Of the State. The En-
press DOwager is the proclaimed enemy Of
reform; III Hung Chang, the champion of
sham reforms, has no influence and will
never possess any again; all the Manchu
princes are leagued in Il solid phalanx
against British influence, because under
that head is Classed the efforts, or at least
the suggestions, being made for the re-
generation Of China. The young emperor
made his effort as a reformer i'm company
with Kang Yu Wei, ana it scaled his fate.
When he ceases to live, u child will be
placed on the throne, so that those in
power may remain undisturbcd. The first
point to he cleared up Is that the exist
ing government Of the ManchuS is beyond
reclamation. 1t is morbund in ITSELF and
the sooner some other institution is dis
covered to take its place and do its work
the better it. will be for China and for us.
There is neither obligation nor necessity
for us to contribute towards it's downfall,
but we have to accept the fact of its
weakness ard unworthiness as the lusti-
tcation for our search for something bet
ter in the way of an administration and n
reasonable government in China.-Demc-

THE DANGER IN THE TRUST CRAZE
(t'rom the Wall Street Review0


The pending operations to float the new
~ organized 'lndustrials' have had a DOM
mating effect upon the money market
President George G.. Williams of the
Chemical National bank says:
Bank loans have been most affected
lately by the floating of the new industrial
enterprises al inflated valuations. In MAX
ing these loans practically no cash has
been used The subscribers borrow money
to pay for their subscriptions, which
causes an increase in the loans of the city
banks. This IS in turn reflected in the
deposit, but there is no relative increase
of cash. There will undoubtedly be IN re
determinations by the banks in loan.ng
money upon industrial shares as collatcr-
al. Some Of these are dangerous, and.
while many of them have shown satisfac-
tory and favorable development more
caution will, l think, be exercised in
handling them.
"lndustrial' combinations organized dur
ing the past two months comprise, in
shares and bonds, Il capital of no less than
81, LOG 800, 600. To understand what this
means, it may be added that in the whole
of 1895 such capital applcatons"-to use
theLondon phrase-were 1916. l76, 600, or $l9,
10000 less than in the two first months of
1899. Yet even the aggregate of 1895 was
regarded as abnormal and alarming.
This movement represents nothing else
than Il wild craze among promoters, eN-
tending in greater or less degree. to man.
ufacturers and investors. 1t is of course
wholly inconcevably that such undertake
inrs should be hoated on the money market
without utterly deranging both ordinary
discounts and ordinary Investment prices,
and it is probable that last weeks loan
market movement was chiefly or wholly
caused by them. If the movement con-
t!nues at so utterly reckless Il pace, and

ROAD REVERSE At BEL

The promoters Of the Bellows Falls end

cision as rendered allows the road 20 cut
to the depth of eight feet at the top OF

WATTERSONlAN PHILOSOPHY.
Interesting, Although 1t Does Not Make
the situation Clearer.
(From the Louisville Courier-JournaD

There seems to be scant reason for
party who are in possession Of the party
machinery Will learn wisdom of the eX-
perience which they have had the last
three years.
The whole plan of the campaign in 1896
was a speculation. Its end proved a cost
ly misadvcnture. Its authors set out to
make a spoon or spoil a horn. They
spoiled the horn, but they had Il great
deal of fun and they stirred up the mon
keys. They were persuaded that in free
silver they had struck oil. They gathered
about the issue all the disaffected ele-
ments. 1t was good year for disaffec-
ton. Depression everywhere The open
door nowhere. But they failed. They
failed because this is a great business ma
ton, made up of a large majority of hard
headed, level-thinking people who do not
mean to have their currency tempered
with.
The Chicago convention was too radical
in some other directions; but 1t was free
silver that cooked the democratic goose
in the final return of votes From that
day to this the defeated managers of the
democratic campaign have been in state
of mind. We showed them Dewey. And
what did they do? Why when they did
not laugh they swore at us. 1t turned out
that the joke was on them. because Dew
ey could not be had; and yet what sonsi-
BILE man will say that, If he could have
been had, he would not have revtalized
democracy and given it a show to win?
1t was nothing to the Courier-Journal.
We are out of it. We resigned" long
ago.
If there comes another defeat in 1900 the
bills will not be sent 10 us for settlement.
Our hands are clean. Our withers arc
unwrung. Nobody need shake their cory
locks in this direction. On the contrary,
quite-quite-the reverse The boot is
wholly on the other leg. But still, as we
are committed to going with the fools as
against the knaves--that is to say, forced
TO decide-we really mean well by the
fools and would help them If their folly
would permit us to do So We proposed
Dewey in good faith. They rejected him
promptly. He rejected them-promptly.
What next?
They all say Bryan" Very well, Bryan
be 1t. But how many votes do these gem
tlcmen think they can poll In 1900 on a
back-action, reversing engine, out-of-
coal and out-of-date campaign, with only
warmed over victuals to sustain them
against Mckinley flying the flag, and the
young manhood Of the country-yea, and
