Turning in Stamps,
Banks and Other Business Houses Don't
Want TO be Caught.

Banks and other business concerns
that have on hand surplus of check
books with the revenue stamp printed
thereon have already begun turning
in their claims to the several internal
revenue Offices with a view of securing
reimbursement for all papers of this
kind that will not be used before July
I. This is the date when the new
stamp act goes into effect
This accumulation of stamped
checks arose from the belief that the
stamp act of 1898 would continue IN
force tor a much longer period. Many
business houses had checks printed
with the firm name at the government
offices in New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago. There will be no re-
bate for the cost of printing the check,
but merely tor the stamp, so that all
the printed matter will be dead loss
to the owners.
The documentary revenues are cut
one-half after July I, and there will be
no stamps required on patent medi-
cines. This does not mean that there
will be rebate made by the govern
ment for any stamped goods of that
kind which may remain on the hands
of the dealers or manufacturers after
the new law goes into effect. Makers
of deeds for property and purchasers
of the same will bear in mind that any
document of that kind made before
July that does not bear the proper
revenue stamps is not legal paper,
and any transfers made by such un.
stamped documents are invalid.
The effects Of such negligence and
carelessness are shown every now and
then in connection with the old act
of Civil War times, which was repealed
in 1873. Attorneys in examining
titles for property sold, when that act
was in effect, occasionally discover
that the indentures were not stamped
and these lawyers at once denounced
the titles as detective. The only cur
ative measures left was to purchase
the stamps in use during those years
and pay the penalty for the neglect.

Such of the Washington relics which
were taken from Arlington House at
the beginning of the civil war, and
which have been on exhibition in the
National Museum for some years, as
she desired we're this week turned
over to Miss Mary Gusts Lee, repre-
sentng her brother Gen. G.. w. C..
Lee, their legal own er, by the United
States Government. Several OF the
relics, including one of Washington's
tents, treasure chest, lantern, and
glass candelabra, were left in the
National Museum, subject to the or
der of the owner. Gen. Fitz Lee,
her cousin, accompanied Miss Lee in
her visit to the museum. The final
disposition Of the articles removed
from the museum has not been de-
termlned upon. This act OF rightful
restitution has not seriously injured
the Washington exhibit, in the muse
um, as many of the articles which
were large pieces of furniture, which
have been stored away, and others
were duplicates of articles which
properly belong to the government.
The alleged investigation of the
commissary stealing, at Manila, is re-

scapegoats and the big thieves who
have pull, are not touched Friends
OF the administration are pointing to
the sentence of sergeant to three
years imprisonment and of civilian
employe to five years, as showing that
the thieves are being punished, but
thoughtful persons regard that news as
indicating that the little thieves only
are to be punished, while the big
thieves are left at liberty to enjoy the
fruits OF their thefts.
Ex-Governor McCreary, Chairman
of the Kentucky State Democratic
Committee, is in Washington. Asked
what the Democratic outlook IN his
State was, he replied: "The party is
thoroughly organized throughout the
State and is in perfect harmony. AT
no time has there been better feel
ing within the party. At the election
this fall think we will carry the state
by fifteen or twenty thousand, having
a majority in both branches of the
legislature, and large majority on
joint ballot. The legislature then
elected will choose a United States
Senator. If his prediction as to the
legislature holds good, Gov. McCreary
will be canldate to succeed Senator
Deboe. Speaking of the Republican
claims of many converts in the South
and the alleged growth of republican
sentiment in that section, Gov. Nc
Creary said: know that in Kentucky
the tendency is not toward the adop.
tion of Republican policies. On the
contrary, Democratic sentiment is
growing stronger. | observe that
this is true also of Alabama, where |
am familiar with conditions, and l
believe that Democratic sentiment is
growing stronger in the South gener-
ally. The Southern people do not
believe in high protection, in colonial
ton, in large standing army, nor in
trusts. The more closely the Repub-
lican party becomes identified with

herself to reach such a perfection of
misery when there is absolutely no
need of it. The subject of our por-
trait in this sketch, Mrs, Williams of

cured of such illness and misery by

A most extraordinary promise was
this week made the Cubans by the
administration, through Senator Platt,
OF Connecticut. And the method OF
making was as extraordinary as the
promise. Senator Platt, Just after an
extended conference with Secretary
Root, at which advlces from General
Wood saying that the Cubans were
hanging back about accepting the
Platt amendment, waiting for some
definite assurance of tariff conces.
sions, were carefully gone over, gave
out an authorized interview, in which
he promised that Congress would.
soon after the Cuban government was
organized, arrange for form of
reciprocity with Cuba that would be
satisfactory. OF course this was done
In diplomatic language, SO that in
case Congress fails TO see reciprocity
with Cuba with administration eyes
1t can be claimed that Senator Patt
was only speaking for himself. But
there is no doubt that it was intend
ed for the Cubans to regard the
promise as coming from the admins
tration and the Republican majority
IN Congress. 1t is understood that
this promise was made because the
Cubans did not consider promise
to negotiate a reciprocity treaty under
the Dingley law, which would require
the approval of two-thrds of the Sem
ate to become operative, satisfactory.
1t may be that the administration
can make good Senator Platt's prom.
Use, but the sugar and tobacco inter-
ests of this country will be sure to
make it a sizable job, and 1t may
make trouble for Senator Platt in his
own State, the tobacco growers of
which would be affected to consider
able extent.

then gather together at Buffalo with
the spirit Of unity strong in our hearts.
Let US be each alert for some common
cause which we can make ours and help
toward success.
No womans organization in existence
holds within reach the mighty possi-

those who come to the annual with uni.
ty in their hearts must come prepared
to work.
Let US set about doing our work
practically. so that We may not only
project definite plans but bring about
definite results.
To effect these results means are
essentials. The council is rich with ma
terial, and able laborers are at call, but
We lack funds sufficient to employ these
laborers or to carry out much of the
work planned.
Each organization must give its best
advice and support towards an increased
income for practical work in the council.
This need is imperative.
Presidents and delegates will come
prepared to help agree on some plan
which will settle this vexed question of
finances and not pass it on to the future
as has been done SO often before.
The presence Of many representative
women from South America and other
sections of America in attendance at the
Buffalo Fair makes an opportunity for
interchange Of ideas and sympathy
which should result in cooperation to
