Postal Currency.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In sending through the mails sums under
So the money order system has been found
troublesome and also somewhat too eXpen-
sive in proportion to the amount involved.
Further objections are that Identification
is always necessary and that money order
business cannot be transacted at all post
offices. Identification is sometimes impos-
sible and is nearly always inconvenient.
The payee hesitates to trouble a friend to
accompany him to the post office, and when
that is done he is placed under obligations
and must sometimes incur expense, such
as car fare, &c David l.. Gitt advocates a
postal currency in denominations under
one dollar, redeemable in cash or stamps
at any post office. In his report for the
fiscal year 1900 Auditor Henry A. Castle
describes a proposed postal currency which
would to a certain extent take the place of
money orders and at the same time not in
crease the auditing expenses of the postal
service.
The proposed currency is to be like ordi-
nary money; but the holder will have the
privilege Of converting it into a govern
ment check by writing the name of payee
on a blank line provided. To cover expense
fixed to each note. These notes being
handled as money, accounting would be un-
necessary. As two or more notes would
frequently have to be used to make UP the
correct amount, the charge on each note
should not exceed one cent; otherwise the
cost might be greater than the expense of
buying a money order. In addition to the
practical suggestions made by Auditor
Castle, should say that the postal cur
rency should be in such form as TO permit
the postmaster to waive Identification of
the payee at the option Of the sender, when

The peaceful accession of Habibullah to
the throne Of Afghanistan, and the COM
placent attitude of his half-brothers and
the Afghan sirdars, tides US safely over
the first and in some respects the most
dangerous step in Afghan succession. Other
steps, however. still remain. and for some
time to come the inner politics Of that
state must remain matter of keen solici-
tude in the high places of India AS we re-
marked yesterday, rising sooner or later
against his authority is as inevitable in At
ghanistan as 1t would be improbable else
where, and 1t is then that the mettle of the
new ameer will be tested. He has shown
that he can rule well and wisely in time of
peace, and that when the way to power Is
made straight for him he can enter in He
has still to show that he can hold his in
heritance against all corners; and in the
East dagger and poison play as large a
part as open insurrection. Habibullah is al
ready bound to England by prediction
and self-interest, and the stronger and
more masterful he proves himself the bet
ter 1t will be for u.s.

ST. LOUIS VOTES.
proposition to Amend the City's
Charter Wins by Very
Large Majority,

St. Louis, Oct. s22.-A special cleo
ton was held here Tuesday for the
purpose of voting on amendments to
the city charter. This charter was
made 80 years ago, and the city has
entirely outgrown it's provisions. The
vote cast Tuesday was $4,000 in
round numbers, out of total
registration of 117,OOO. The re-
suit was $4,000 in favor of the
amendments and 10000 against. The
object of the charter amendments is to
change the system of assessing and
collecting specialtaxe for street, alley,
sewer and other public work. They
also give the municipal assembly pow
er to increase the rate of taxation
for municipal purposes in order to
raise funds for the erection of public
buildings, providing the increase has
previously been authorized by two
thirds vote of the people. Under the
amendments the waterworks are never
to be sold, leased or otherwise dis
posed of. This election is of special i'm
portance to St. Louis, as enabling the
city to make adequate preparation for
the proper entertainment of it's
worlds fair guests.

MRS. DYER'S HEART.

McCarron, Mich, Oct. 21st.-In April
last the sensational case of Mrs. Sam
uel G. Dyer, of this place, was reported
in these columns. Mrs. Dyer has suf-
fered for years with very bad case of
Heart Trouble and was cured in a few
weeks by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Since then Mrs. Dyer has received
hundreds of inquiries as to her condi-
ton and many may be interested to
hear that she is at present enjoying
the best of health and has not had the
return of the Heart Trouble.
Formerly she had to sit up in bed for
hours to get relief; now she goes about
as smartly as any lady of 81 years in
the State. Dodd's Kidney Pills have
made many friends in Chippewa Coun-
ty through their cure of Mrs. Dyer's
case, and have proven beyond doubt
that their cures are not only very COM
plete, but absolute and permanent.
