THE NEW POSTAL CARD,
When 100000 Have Been Bundled
Will Be on Sale.

new one-cent postal card is now being
printed at the bureau of engraving and
printing and when the first issue of 4OOO-
600 has been counted and bundled the new
card will be placed on sale It's distinctive
feature is that the new card contains a
vignette Of President Mckinley in lieu Of
President Jefferson's portrait The issue
of the Jefferson card will be discontinued
when the present stock on hand is ex-
hausted. When desired by purchasers the
new postal card will be furnished in sheets
of forty cards each. 1t is expected this ar
rangeInent will effect large saving to
purchasers who have their messages or
addresses printed on postal cards. In order
to avoid the heavy black device at the top
of the Jefferson card and leave a clear
space for the postmark the new postal
card has three lines of small type printed
about an inch below the top of the card
The card is thus divided lateraly into
two sectons-oEe for the postmark and
one for the address. The official dascrip-
tion of the new card is as follows:
I'm the upper right-hand corner is a po--
trait of the late President Mckinley three

To remove Governor Dole in such a po-

render victory to the royalist-native party,
and to leave the white and business inter-
ests In jeopardy. Our noble and faithful
governor is almost the only barrier remain

ment. Such removal would be the worst
of calamities. He should have the most
constant and cordial support of the Wash

With the exception of a faction of politi-
cal adventurers who hope to profit by po-
litical alliance with home rulers. the great
