Want Mourning Stamp.
(Washin yton Post.)

The Post office Department IS con-
stantly in receipt of requests for the issue
of mourning stamp for use on BLACK
edged stationery. Persons in all grades
of life assert that there is no harmony or
appropriateness IN an envelope with
black edge and red stamp in the cor
ner, and they beg the department. to is
sue a black stamp. The department
has given much consideration to the
subject, but has been unable to compl,
with the requests on account OF the
rules of the Universal Postal Union
which prescribe that our lowest value
stamp shalrbe green; that the stamL
used for domestic use shall be red, and
the stamp carrying foreign mail-tive
cent-shall be blue. In view OF these re
strictions, it has not appeared possible to
meet the requirements for mourning
stamp, as the department does not deem
it advisable to print a stamp in red ano
also in black. However, the suggestion
has been made that the three cent stamI
row printed in purple, might be issued II
black, so that persons desiring to use
black stamp upon their mourning enVe
lope might do so by paying the addition
al cent. The department may take W
this suggestion later and act upon IL.

here in response to letter from one
of his political friends, who wrote
him some days ago and urged him to
come out for congress. In reply to
that letter, il Is stated that Col. Cox
wrote back and stated that he would

not given the matter any thought; but
he admitted that he had been recelv-
ing a large number of letters from his
friends throughout the district, asking
him TO come out ana make the race.
He said that he had Oeen resting at
his home at Frank lin since he lett

From the way he talked, one need
not be surprised If the gallant Colonel
1s not again In the list when the
campaign opens up. He said that If
the people demanded that he make
another race. and the demand was so
pressing that he felt that in justice
TO the people he could not refuse,
then upder those conditions he would
probably offer for the nomination
again. He said that the people of
the Seventh District had been exceed
ing kind to him, and had given hmm the
place as long as he wanted it, and there
fore he felt that they still had some
claim on him: that it would not be rlghI
for him to say to them that they could
not have anything more to DO WIN

the arduous work of campaigning the

In answer to the numerous letters he

not run, and he had not said that ne

time yet for him to make up his nina

very near doing it on several occa'

In regard to the platform he said 1T
didn't make any difference, in his
MIND, whether the Kansas City plat
form is reaffirmed or not. The first
question of all with democrats was

ternal strife2 II not, the party, In his
opinion, would not need either plat
form or candidate. What the party
wants to do. he said, is to get to-
gether. then adopt platform dealing
with live questions. He said the trusts
and the tariff and an honest admins

principal issues The silver question
ia not an issue and cannot be made
one. Col. Cox said he was just as good
silver man as Mr.. Bryan, but the
silver question had been settled for
the time being and there is no use to
try to force il mp again. Col. Cox said
that the frauds in the departments at
Washington would make good thing
to fight the republicans on. They
are NOT going to investigate the war
and navy departments said he, though
there is more fraud in those two de-
partments than any where else. They
were forced into the investigation OF
the postoffice department.
Col. Cox said that a n eater question
than tariff and trusts and everything
else, in his opinion. was the question
of war between capital and labor. 1t
was becoming more and more acute
every year, and ii was beginning to
threaten the existence of the govern
