POST CHECK MONEY.

The Post check money plan is recelv- ing the commendation due its plain
 merits, It aims to provide a way of safely and conveniently sending
 through the mails sums from five do1- lars down to cents, It proposes to re- print $1 S2 and s treasury notes, coin or silver certificates now in circulation and have the face of the new bills pro vided with blank lines. This would be the ordinary money of the day. Then, when one wishes to send money by mail, say S2, he takes such bill from his pocketbook, writes on its face the name of the person or firm to whom it is to go, the city and State, and af- fixes two-cent stamp in the square in- dicated (one-cent stamp for fractional bills) cancelling the stamp with his initials and date and signs his name on the back, This bill, which previously was negotiable money, is instantly transformed into personal check on the United States government for $2, as safe for transmission as any bank check. This is enclosed in a letter to the person or firm desired and can be collected by the receiver upon identif- cation at the postoffice named.
 It is argued that the small fee charged in the stamps put on the Post checks would give a larger revenue to the government than is now received from the money order system. Very likely it would, but whether it would or wouldn't there is no doubt that Post checks would be a great convenience. Everybody who is doing business feels the need of some such device, and the Post plan seems to ie as simple and practical as any that could be invented.

Atlantic City hasn't been deliberately and Intentionally inviting a fire, but there has been a good field there for q big blaze. The conditions were right yesterday. A fire started from Ian un- known cause" there was a high wind and the fire department was not ade- quate So twelve of the hotels were burned and many other inhammable structures. The loss is big, and it will be bigger before the summer is over.
 Verify this has been a calamitous year so far, Great fires, floods and ter rible accidents have been numerous, They are reminders that riches get wings, and that this world isn't very safe place to live in. Indeed, those who are not too gay or too busy to look can always see the hair-suspended sword.

NOT YET ERING.

When Kruger said that the Boers would make Great Britain pay price that would stagger humanity he made
 a large statement. Humanity has been
 impressed, but it is not yet staggered
 and even that part of it which lives and
 moves in Great Britain isn't really
 wabbling. And it's pocketbook is also
 standing the drain well. It was thought
 that the burden of the war and of the
 war taxes would tell in a decrease of
 receipts from taxpayers by reason of
 decreased consumption and of other ex-
 pedients to which an overburdened pao
 pie automatically resort But the fig
 ures show that the national income is larger than in the preceding year by $63, 3,000000, and larger than the estimates $2, 300, 900. There is thus surplus at time when France and Germany with out war, are having deficits. The in- come tax brings in $39, 900 900 more than in the year before, or $5000,000 more than the estimate of the Chancellor. There had been an increase of the in come tax from l shilling on the pound to 1 shilling pence, or 16 2-3 per cent. On this basis, calculating from the S135,- 000 GOO received the year before, the re- ceipts in the year just ended should have been $22, 500,000 more, but they were actually nearly $40,000,000 more. This indicates that there was an in- crease of income of the income-tax pay ing community of $325, 900. 900. It means and ability to bear still heav- fer taxes The only item in which there is a decline is wine, beer and spirits, on which the revenue fell from $165, 800 900 to $15S000,000, but the temperance peo- pie think this a good thing, as indicat- ing a smaller consumption of alcohol

The German Emperor has in his time played so many parts that it is not
 surprising to see him now appearing
 as a temperance reformer. He has
 been attracted by the English scheme
 for transferring the ownership of pulp
 lic-houses from private individuals to
 disnterested and public-spirited com
 panies desiring only a moderate profit.
 A similar movement has been initiated in Germany under the title of Deutsch-
 CT Verein fuer Gasthaus- Reform, of
 which the Secretary is Dr. w. Bode of Weimar. Baron Daniel von Dier- gardt who has established one of the new public-houses on his estates in Silesia, has received from the civil Cab inet of the Emperor the following re- ply to a report on the activity of the Public-house Association which he had forwarded: His Majesty the Emperor and King has been pleased to author ize me to say that all efforts which have for their object the restriction of the consumption of alcohol and the en- of the public regarding it's pernicious moral and economical conse quences are assured of his Majesty's entire approval. His Majesty has there fore manifested lively interest in the endeavors which find expression in the of tke German Association

FOOLS SEEN FROM THE CAB.

A Locomotive Engineer Menetions Sev-
 eral Varieties of Them.
 The other day I found a locomotive engineer sitting on a pile of ties near his great Rodman engine, which was steamed up ready to make a dash across the country. l told him I want ed some facts connected with his long experience as a runner. Well" re piled the esgineer, If you could see with my eyes the things that I have seen throughout thirty years of run ming an engine, you would wonder why our asylumS are not oversuppled with inmates. A man will come driving along toward a railroad crossing One of the inmates of the vehicle will see the train and call the drivers at
 testion to it, The driver will then whip his team into run, cross the track just ahead of the train, and then stop and watch us pass by. They simply take desperate chances to cross ahead of us, while if he had driven along at the rate he was going when they first saw the train, we would have gotten out of their way before they would have reached the crossing. This thing happens many times in a month, asd causes more accidents than you would imagine. It is no use to try to make jury believe that it was the fault of the teamster, of course.
 When women and children are about to cross ahead of us, we are scared every time, The woman will stop a few feet from the track and turn around to watch us approach; she will forget all about her smaller chil dren, and while she Watchees us come along the little feelloWs walk right along and on to the track Nine times out of ten where children accompany ing their parents are killed by the cars at crossings it is because the parents were watching the train instead Of the children.
 One of the worst fools with which we have to deal is the idiot who will try to stay on the track just as long as possible. He will pretend that he does not hear the train, and of course we know that he does. Just as we get right on him, he will jump to one side and laugh. I never see this done with out a wish coming in my heart that the simpleton had fallen and lost a leg We kill great many pedestrians the railroad orld just from 1 this one cause. So mary idiots will treat us this way, and we make sudden

The postmaster general has received a communication from the secretary of war officially notifying him that on May 20 next Cuba will become foreign country and that upon the withdrawal of the United States therefrom on that date there will be no statute or postal convention under which mail can be transmitted for domestic postage or carried on the existing money order system between the United States and that island. Secretary Root says that it is desirable in the interests of the business which already exists and for the promotion of further intercourse between the inhabitants of the two countries that there should be no inter- ruption to the present basis for the conduct of business. He suggests that congress be asked to authorize a con tinuance of the present basis, upon the informal agreement Of the postal au. thorities of the two countries. The post master general will immediately take steps to have the matter put in proper shape.
