respect will be heartily approved by banks

That the new order may win its way to
public favor by its simplicity, clearness. and
adaptability, great care has been taken TO
give it this character by arrangement OF
its parts. by avoiding surplusage in the text
or wording, and by using plain type and
excluding whatever would be merely ornate

to Postmnsters and Remitters.

The Postofice Department has adopted
new form of domestic money order
which will be introduced gradually, or as
supplies of the old form become exhausted,
at the various postoffices throughout the
country, after the 4th of September
The new form is somewhat smaller than
the order now in use. Its dimensions are

fcation to be sent by the issuing TO the
paying postmaster. is a reproduction OF the
order through the use of carbonized paper
(the manifold proeess), and receipt for
the amount, to be furnished by the issuing
postmaster to the remitter.
On the back of the order separate space
has been provided for the stamps of banks
through which it may be passed for coll
lection.
In color the order is blue, having a light
blue ground, with fine. closely in;erlaced
tinted lines of geometricaI Iathe-work. Of
darker shade In the centre is an escuteh-

Through the process mentioned tthe car

order, are duplicated. or reproduced, and
made to appear in the advice precisely as

thus greatly lessened, and a saving OF
time effected. Discrepancies between order
and advice. which, by entailing additional
correspondence and causing delay in pay
ment, have heretofore been a source of
annoyance to the department and post
masters, as well as to remitters and payses,

~ERHAPS it is all wrong that the
Transvaal people should be
forced by the government at
London. The policy which England
proposes to enforce is of the sort
against which the people of the United
States have always entered moral pro-
test. even II, heretofore, We have not
seen fit to give formal or official ex-
preston to that protest.
In regard to this Transvaal compl;ca-
tion, the American press mas not failed
to go on record in disapproval of Eng
lands plan. But it is curious fact that
some Of the severest criticism is found
in American newspapers that have
spent their best efforts, during recent
months. in advocacy of President Nc
Kinley's war of Philippine conquest
One of these administration organs lifts
its hands in horror in presence of words
uttered by Sir Alfred Miner, who is re-
ported as having remarked: IF you
saw solid pile of gold worth $500 600
900 with 10000 Beers armed to the teeth
sitting upon it, what would you do?"
That is mercenary, cold blooded talk
10 De sure. II Involves motives WnlCh
American public opinion resents. But
you will find that the newspapers that
are the loudest in denunciation of this
sordid talk on the part of Britishers
are the organs that persistently clamor
for Philippine conquest on the ground
that our country has manifest des-
tiny in the way of Oriental trade. All
the pretenses that the Filipinos want
TO be subject 10 us were exposed months
ago. They as much object to Ameri~
can sovereignty as do the Beers to
Great Britain's assumption of certain
attributes of sovereignty over their
land. In both cases greed for conquest
is the spring of action.
On this score, take the testimony of
Montana's own senator. The other day,

bushes he found the body of Reynolds,
wrapped In a blanket, the head envel-
oped in sack. Over the right eye
was gaping bullet wound, while the
forehead was powder burned.
The trousers had been stripped from
the corpse, but a mackinaw shirt re-
manned on it,
Later a blood-stained sack of flour
was found lodged in a stream. 1t evil
IDENTIFY had been used as pillow.
When, at the trial, all this evidence
was analysed, the coroner and others
swore positively that the bullet which
ended Reynolds life was fired while
he was lying on his side, his head
upon the bag of -four The crushed
and beaten skull was a CHASTITY bit Of
evidence brought into the trial.
However the crime was committed,
Allen fled the scene, first scattering
and hiding the camp utensils. Mount
ing his buckskin horse, he went to the
ranch of w. w. Martin, where he
abandoned the animal. He then set out
for MitchelPs place, which he reached
soon after daylight. He says he threw
his rifle into Prickly Pear creek here
and then went on to William Johns
place on the Montana Central. There
he presented a check for $685. made
out to Reynolds by one of the farmers
for whom they had worked. Allen in
dorsed the check ~. s. Reynolds ate
breakfast there and then went on to
Helena, catching ride on a Montana
Central freight. He went through Hell
ena with the train, going to Clancy.
There he caught another freight. went
back to Helena and started walking
west. He alternately stole rides and
walked. One day was spent in Mis-
soula. At Spokane he jumped freight

There he bought ticket to Portland,
to which place he rode. He spent 36
hours in Portland and went from there
to the town of Oakland, near which he
had been brought up. He went to
work as a harvest hand there.
Circulars had been sent out by Sher-
iff Davidson of Lewis and Clarke
county, giving description of Allen
and offering $3.50 reward for his cap
ture. One of these circulars fell into
the hands of Postmaster T. G. Ruth of
that place. He recognized Allen as the flu
gitive. telegraphed to Sheriff Davidson,
was instructed to make the arrest and

into the wagon.

said Allen without hesitation. After
this he did not try to deny his identity

their determination to resent the action

favor of the prisoner that if retalia-

informal boycott of the Paris exposition
would entail disastrous results upon
the forthcoming show, but a boycott
of French manufactures, in which
this country's trade is vast, would
mean immeasureably greater damage
than would be incident to a refusal to
support the exposition.
In any event, it is clear that all forms
of American retaliation must be I'M

or two have limited at intentions to de-
mand action in congress with the idea
of repudfating the exposition. That
action of this sort will go into effect
/. is not at all probable; we may feel
that in the case of Dreyfus justice is
outraged, yet the fact remains that
France is not accountable to us for her
manner of dealing with one of her own

It is probable that the French peo-

doubtedly, that France cannot afford
TO incur the displeasure Of the civil
lied world by this thwarting of justice.
But the pressure France is to feel will
come not through official channels
1t will be a commercial boycott, and
its effect will be terrific. OF course,
the motive with the masses of men in
the commercial world is to buy and sell
and get gain. If there is profit for
them by continuing to trade with
Trance, the boycott may be less Sc

first flush, self interest is apt to con-

The fact remains, however, that a
large business world can find ways
whereby it can punish France and still
play even in trade; and industrial
France is liable to know what retribu-
,tion for Dreyfus remissness means.
