MUTILATED STAMPS
WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED

Local patrons of the postoffice will
soon receive Il small booklet which
will contain a great amount of infor-
nation concerning the postoffice
which is not generally known. The
pamphlet will be in a measure a book
Of instruction as to how to transact
business will the postoffice.
One of the things to be treated will
be the use of mutilated stamps on
letters. 1t is not generally known to
users of postage stamps that a torn
or mutilated stamp cannot be used.
Persons who have torn stamps in
their possession have been in the hab-
it of FASTING the two pieces together
and thus placing on the letter. This
is prohibited in the postal regulations,
and the person who uses such a stamp
runs the risk of not having his or her
letter delivered.
Sometimes the stamps are so well
repaired that the tear escapes detec-
ton, but should the rent in the stamp
be found by the postal authorities it
is of no value. The book will also con-
tain information regarding the regis
try and money order system.

A Pirate Abroad.

On the gulf coast they are remind
ed of old times. a pirate is abroad
on the waters. The Honduras navy
one gunboat-has seeded. Though
no description comes with the an
nouncement, it may be presumed, as
a matter of course, that she is a
long, low, rakish craft" that the
Jolly Rover black flag flies at her
mizzen peak, and that the lean rims
of score of guns peer from her
open ports. Such should be the case,
though the presumption may be idle.
Be that as it may, this desperate
Honduran pirate, in his search for the
silver-laden galleons of Mexico and
Peru. ruthlessly boarded banana
boaf-the Norwegian ship David. Her
master, Capt. Warnecke, being devoid
of all sense of humor, reported the in
cident on his arrival at New Orleans.
and Admiral Coghlan has dispatched
two United States gunboats to pursue
and capture this terror of the gulf,
the daring freebooter from Honduras.

Organization of CAPITAL.

The New York Commercial, a Wall
street organ, is impressed that by the
finding of the anthracite strike com
mission, 1.-The principle of arbitra ton
has been given a decided setback by
the latest treatment of the expert
ment, the most important and con-
spicuous one ever made in our indus
trial history" 1t marvels that i'm
portant questions in the conduct of
industrial business continue to be
turned over to such tribunals
The Commercial INDUCES in predic-
ton. 1t says:
when the anthracite miners shall
have received their back pay and
when the new sliding scale for wages
shall have been put in operation, the
net result of the bitter controversy,
whose adjustment consumed nearly a
whole year, will be found to be little
more than an advance in retail prices
to the coal consumers. That will
very accurately measure the extent
to which the public was or is a party
to the great coal strike. The public
will pay the bills-that's ALL
Again it says:
I'VE predict that before the end of
this decade employers will be so gem
orally and so effectively organized
that no pressure of popular opinion
will be strong enough to force them
into arbitration when they have moth
ing to arbitrate."
These predictions are decidedly in
teresting for their possibility. There
is nothing to prevent capital from or
ganizing and from refusing to oper-
ate the properties which it owns Or
gained capital can defy public opin-
ion, and may be it will because the
strong have in all history oxeresti-
mated their strength. There Comes
day when the rear guard doesn't
come up in time and the flower of
strength is hurled headlong into the
gilch of death; when the commonArs
won't longer endure the expressions
of royalty and turn with firebrand
and sword and musket on their enc
mics.
Organized capital can defy public
opinion, but it can't escape the pen
atty. This will not be and should not
be the saber or the cannon. 1t will
be nemesis working through an out
ragged people who will awaken to APP
probation of the danger of mOnopo-
ly to their national well being, to the
folly of reposing in the hands of in
dividuals title to the natural re-
sources of the earth from which the
necessities of life must be derived.
They will understand that that re-
public which suspends on the within,
on the generosity of a few individu-
ais, the veal or woe of $4,000, 900 peo-
pie, is not safe.

edness in New York on acres and lots
amount to $500, 900, 900. In addition
there are mortgages made by steam
and street railroads alone amounting
to $700,0O0,OOO. There are also mort
cages made by telegraph, telephone,
water and gas companies, etc, not
included in the census report, which
would swell the total by many mil
lions. n four-mill tax would pro-
duce upwards of $13,oO0,0OO, OF which
$6,500,00O would go to the state. With
the proposed increase in the excise
of the state would exceed
its needs by some six to seven mil
lions. The opponents of the meas
ure said that such surplus would be
dangerous. 1t would probably be in
danger also.

The New York republican legisla-

proposed law for the taxation of
mortgages in that state on account of
the strong pressure brought against
it. Some of the arguments used
against it are remarkable, one of
them being that it would produce too
much revenue. 1t was urged that
