The design of new two cent postage
stamp has been approved by the post
master general and the bureau of
printing and engraving is already at
work on it. The portrait of Washing
ton which appears on the two-cent
stamps of the present issue will be re-
tained except that the lines will be
charter, owing to the use of red ink,
that color having been determined
upon by the Universal Postal union
for all stamps of the denomination of
10 confines or it's equivalent. Al
most any other color would be pre-
ferred by the engravers, as red blurs
fine lines in rapid printing. The in
scription on the stamp will also be
larger and rearranged. An oval frame
will no longer surround the head Of
Washington, but an arched one will he
substituted, similar to that in the
Franklin portrait in the one-cent
stamp.

The will of man who left 100000

The farmers should rejoice, not
only should they rejoice, but they
should wax happy and grow fat with
the present prospects before them.
High prices for farm produce only
come when the laborers of the city are
paid good wages and good wages only
come when industries thrive. Work
night and day is the program for all
the big shops the whole country
through. Labor difficulties and the
manipulations Of few men have tied
up small portion of the laboring
class of the country but the majority
are at work and not only earning
good wages but are also spending them.
Prosperity has come and if the people
know good thing whey they see it
they will continue it. 1t is not too
early to call attention to the differ
ence between this year and the hard
times of 1898 democracy and republic
anism can never show a wider con-
trast that with the full and empty
dinner pals of 1898 and 1908.

Mrs. James G.. Blaine whose death
recently took place, was a lady of
much influence in her day. 1t was
said at the time thai she was the cause
Of the refusal of Blaine to allow his
friends to propose him in 1888. 1t
was also understood that she melted
him to resign from the Harrison
cabinet in 1892, just before the con-
vention which renominated Harrison.
Had Blaine consented to accept the
candidacy in 1893 he could have OBJ
tanned it without much opposition.
Even in the face of his repeated and
preemptory refusals to allow his name
to be presented to the convention he re-
ceived many votes in that body. His
nomination in that year would have led
to his election, undoubtedly. He was
stronger with the people than was
Harrison, who received the candidacy
and who carried the country. OF
course, his nomination aspirations in
1892 would naturally be futile, for the
Republicans were mortally obliged
to renominate Harrison. Had Blaine
been nominated in that year, however
he would undoubtedly have been de-
feated at the polls, as Harrison was.

ada, a few days since. He was the
advance guard of large body who are
following him, and he has already in.
vested in several farming sections for
himself and others and purposes to
take up his permanent abode in this
country. He went on to say: Hun.
dreds are coming from my district
alctle. l know this to be fact, for
many of them are neighbors of mine.
The chief topic of conversation with
the farmers is the coming immigra.
ton in the spring."
The impression general in the part
of Dakota where l live that farmers
can get from 10 to 10 cents more a
bushel for wheat on the American side
of the line than on the Canadian has
not prevented people from turning their
eyes to Canada as place to live in
They know they can get land in this
country which Is every bit as fertile
as that in Dakota at about one-quarter
the price. 1t Is safe to say that the
exodus from Dakota into Canada this
year will exceed the expectations of all
Canadians"
