A Michigan man has placed before
congress a scheme which, II adopted,

Bce. 80 far as money order business Is
CONCERNED. He calls his plan the
"pst check" system, and there seems
70 be nothing In IL which Is not prac-
teal. Il Ia proposed 10 issue bills Of
the denominations OF one, Two and
i've dollars each with blank spaces on
them. Such Bills would pass az ordi-
nary currency unless 1t was desired 10
send one Of them through the malls.
In order to do this, all that Ii neces-
sary il to write In the blank space the
name Of the payce, his city and state,
aff,x a 2-cent stamp, cancelled with
the name OF the sender, who also af-
fixes his signature to the back Of the
note. IL then becomes a check paya-
bic only To the person whose name APP
pears an the face, and Is Just a. safe
rs any,othcr check sent through the
malls. When the payec receive, It he
can cash IL at the nearest hsnlt or
postoilIcc, and in time IT. goes back TO
Washington where q new one takes Its
place, thus keeping the circulation al
ways ut par.
The convenience OF this arrange
ment is readily apparent. Postotiice
statistics are authority for the state
ment that less than half the postoiilccs
Of the country are money order Offices.
Even in cities or towns Of Conssdera-
bic size II Is often extremely lncon-
venient to visit the postofilce In order
20 secure small money ORDERS and as "a
result many people assume the risk OF
sending bills andacoin In ordinary en-
yelopes. Under the post check sys-
tenn bin can be endorsed and
stamped as above described, placed In
Nh envelope and dropped IN the near
est letter box with absolute certainty
Of Its safe transmission.
OF course II would take some years
To get the bills distributed, but II al
ways takes time 10 Introduce any new

In which IL appeared when first estab-
lished. This form will be used until
such time when we can afford larger
press, which 1t Is hoped will not be
long. The change was made necessa-
~ through u demand for more space
for local purposes. While the size Is
somew hat reduced, the space ;or mat

increased, and we feel sure that the
enlargement Of the feature devoted to

Senator Jones, twice chairman OF the
democratic national committee, and
who has been representing his state at
Washington In one capacity or anoth-
er for I'D years, Is to be retired TO pri-
vate life when the next Legislature OF
that state meets TO choose senator.
And this Is not dream, for the prI-
maries and county conventions In that
state have become history, and Scna-
tor Jones IL now on record AS having
lost bis third great contest. Owing
to his prominent position In the party
the retirement OF Senator Jones marks
an epoch In democratic national peli-
ties. Bryan and his followers will nc
longer dictate policies for the democ-
racy OF the United States. In view OF
this II would be most interesting to
hear from those silver republicans
who have gone over to the democrats
because they differed with their party
on the silver issue.
