the powers established postal stations
which were recognized as working substi
tHtes as far as the foreign colony was
concerned for the official Turkish pos
tal system. or late the porte has had rea-
son to suspect that the merchants enjoy
ing the privileges of the foreign postal
routes were taking advantage of 1t to SNUG
gle coutraband goods over the border, and
very reasonably has now protested against
the practice. IT is not altogether clear as
Yet whether the Turkish government has
acted wholly within its rights in seeking
to interfere with the delivery of diplomatic
mails. but ii apparently has violated no
treaty when it has sought to restrict the
use Of these consular mail systems to their
legit mate purposes There is. as rule.
no objection by any civilized government
to the employment of special couriers as
the bearers of diplomatic mails. The Gus
tom prevails in this country with regard
to certain of the foreign establishments in
Washington. But undoubtedly should this
government have reason to suspect that
these diplomatic mails were being misused.
as is charged i'll Turkey, it would not hesi-
tate. upon sufficient provocation, to pro-
hlbit the employment of couriers and to
undertake the delivery Of the official
pouches by its own agents. Turkey has
recently sought to improve the postal sys-
TEN by the employment of foreigners as
organizers and officials and claims now to
be able amply to care for the delivery of
all mails. whether official or commercial.
There is apparently no present likelihood
that the controversy viii lead to dangerous
friction.

Th~ Turkish government seems on the face

service was crude and inefficient, the diplo-

The confirmed stamp collectors. profess
sional and amateur. have no such reason
to protest against the special issue of eX-
position stamps in honor of the Buffalo
fair. as they urged against the Chicago
issue of 1Ss3 and the later Omaha issue.
Those stamps were printed to such high
denominations that the philatelists were
seriously put to ii financially to complete
their collections. This was especially true
of the Chicago issue. which ran through
all the denominations while the Omaha
Issue was stopped short of the top. The
Buffalo stamps run only as high as 10
cents. and even thus cover an ample range
of subjects with six individual stamps. The
series is pleasing and instructive. showing
the modern aids to commerce, the lake
steamer on the 1-Cent stamp a fast eX-
press train on the TWO. an automobile on
the four the railroad bridge at Niagara
Falls on the five. the canal lock AT Sauit
Ste. Marie on the eight and modern
ocean steamer on the ten. Such issues
have distinct historic value. and as long
as the denominations are kept low there Is
no reason why the philatelists should not
welcome the responsive enterprise of the
government on such occasions.

From Washington Corr. New York Times.
Washington is not satisfied with the ex-
tent of its manufactures, and is agitating
the public with the expectation of securing
organized effort to attract To this CITY
men and capital to be employed in va
riety of manufactured products. The stand
ing of the city in the census as a manu-
facturer is not low. being something like
twenty-seventh, but this figure is illusive
and the expectation is as gathered from the
discussions in the meeting held here on
Thursday evening to induce manufact ,Ires
that will take advantage of the yet unde-
veloped water power of the Potomac the
convenient coal and iron fields the five
trunk lines of railway Offering conditions
not enjoyed by many cities that have
greater manufacturing Importance The
men who have discussed the subject are
very plainly not satisfied to see the city
increasing in population while the proper
ton of the population that derives income
from the government to support the whole
number is constantly decreasing. In the
absence OF occupations calling for the as
S1Stance OF young men, the sons of fathers
who have acquired living incomes here find
themselves more and more embarrassed to
secure lucrative employment, or any en-
plOyment at all.
The people who favor the Introduction of
manufactures do not consider as worth Sc
rtOuS thought the objections to the smoke
that would accompany the erection Of fac
tories. They refer to New York the great
est manufacturing city in the United
States, as a city that does not suffer great
ly from coal smoke, and to Baltimore an
other manufacturing city, as examples Of
comparative cleanliness with manufa ctures
The suffragists are disposed to favor the
introduction of manufactures here for the
reason that a restoration of the voting
privilege might follow. But if it comes to
that it may be assumed that Washington
would prefer to go without manufa ct ures
for few years longer rather than accept
manufactures that would be the means of
reviving the right Of the colored citizens to

The reports of Mrs. Mckinley's illness,
which has caused an interruption of the
Presidents tour through the west, grow
more reassuring and it now seems that she
is likely to recover rapidly in the quiet of
the San Francisco home 10 which she has
been taken. Mrs. Mckinley's frail health
has for years proved cause of serious
anxiety to the President. 1t is not now
probable that her illness will so develop as
to cause the abandonment of the trip. a
decision which would cause deep regret

A movement has been started in In
dianapolis for the erection of a monument
to President Benjamin Harrison The ma
ton was singularly forgetful in this re-
spect of his grandfather. President William
Henry Harrison. The latter went into the
presidency with extraordinary enthusiasm,
yet for many years after his death his
grave had no fitting mark Of it's existence
in the spot where he was buried. This was
remedied, We think, some twenty or more
years ago by subscription begun In Ohio,
and to which Massachusetts contributed.
There will doubtless be generous re-
sronse to the call made for the BENJAMIN

throughout the Union are to be invited to
