POSTAL CARDS.

The convenient postal card is about
81 years old, and Prussia claims the
honor of it's birthplace.
The first years issue of United
States postal cards., 1879, numbered
$1,000, 900, while 859,641,s0O were is
sued in 1901.
American postal cards made their
appearance in May, 1873, since which
time the sale has grown so rapidly
that over 100000, 900 have now to be
manufactured every year. It is not
greatly to our credit, however, that
we were about the last of civilized
nations to add these cards to our
postal facilities.
In 1865 the Prussian postal authori-
ties announced their intention of is.
suing CORRESPONDING card, on which
brief communications, not under seal
or in an Enclosure, could be sent
through the mails at greatly reduced
rates. For some reasons never ex-
planned the scheme hung fire, and
was apparently abandoned.
In 1869 Austria took up the idea,
and commenced the manufacture and
sale of correspondence cards." as
they are still called on the European
continent. Prussia Immediately fol.
lowed suit, and during the war with
France distributed the cards free to
soldiers, and at purely nominal
price to soldiers relatives.

are the Philadelphia & Reading, the Lee

the New York, Susquehanna q Vest

DiDSomania.

The dipsomania law is working mer-
rily in Iowa. Confirmed drunkards
are being incarcerated at the rate of
fifty per month, and the records show
that In about 10 per cent Of the cases
a cure results from the careful treat
ment the patients receive. There is
no "Keeley" cure to it and no potent
drug is slipped into their coffee with
out their knowledge or consent. The
asylum authorities have a profound
theory that the only way to stop
drinking is to stop drinking, and no
matter whether the patient has delir-
ium tremens when he enters the insti
tuition or mentally dulled by the
fumes of the liquor he has imbibed,
his grog is denied him from the very
moment he enters the institution and
is not restored unless he is foolish
enough to begin again after being dis
charged, which few of them do

Where Taxes Go.

During the first four months of the
present fiscal year the receipts of the
government were about $13,000,O0O
greater than the expenditures, a very
gratifying result, it is claimed. Dur
ing the same time the deposits made
by the national treasury in national
banks increased over $40, 100000. This
shows that the government did not
need the money it has collected from
the people during the four months
named, and besides that it had more
money than it knew what to do with
at the beginning of the four months.
The situation is we'll to remember in
connection with the claim that it will
not do to middle with the revenues
because it will "disturb business"
which implies that the business of
taxing the people to create fund to
supply national banks with free mon
ey to loan to the people at any rate of
interest the trafc will bear must not
be disturbed!-Farm Stock and Home.

COWBOYS CAPTURE RED DEER.
Harder to Catch with Lassos
j, Than wild Horses.

Two Of Buffalo Ellis cowboys, now
performing at the Olympia, London,
Tom Webb and ST Compton, had what
they called the best days sport they
ever had in their lives on the grounds
of Loudwater house, the residence of
Panmure Gordon, at Rickmansworth,
recently. They were invited to las
500 a herd of red deer, and found
them trickier to capture than wild
horses, but after determined con-
test the cowboys were victors.
The chase ranged over a 12-acre
field, fringed with woods, out of
which the deer were driven by beat
ers, whose attempts at capture they
had hitherto defied. First came a fine
stag, which seemed the leader. He
eyed the cowboys with an air of de-
fance and contempt. The coils of
rope Missed through the air and fell
around the legs of the stag, but be-
fore the loops could be drawn taut
the animal bounded five feet into the
air. Several times the cowboys failed
but eventually coil fell round the
stays antlers.
With another, which had no antlers,
capture was more difficult. After two
had been taken prisoners, the deer be-
gan to practice sly tactics. They
watched for the rise of the cowboys
arm, and jumped high in the air while
the lasso fell harmlessly below them.
1t took two hours to capture the first
five.

and Reading Lockout, But Thinks
the Men Are All Right.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 22.-Presi

about the Philadelphia & Reading lock-
out except that he is waiting further
particulars. President Fahey, of the
Ninth district, says the men have been
accustomed to work eight hours on
Saturdays since 1858, and he believes
that they may continue to do so in &C
cordance with the findings of the strike
commission.
The district board members and
President Mitchell went into session
at ten o'clock Tuesday morning. They
will hold another session Tuesday aft
ernoon and possibly one Tuesday even
ing.

AS far as can be learned no overtures
have been made by either side towards
terminating the lockout.

The "csn" Combine.
A Little Fable Concerning the Mer.
ger Of Confidence Games That
Result In Getting all the Swag
on Both Sides of the Street.

Once on q time two icon" men met
BY chance and thereupon they set
comparing notes on con games bold
by which they gathered in the gold.
Said one, "Ny scheme is wondrous
thin, but, glory be, it gets the tin.
I've worked the people to the pitch
Of thinking taxes make 'em rich.
81 call it tariff, and they pay good
money to me every day. I keep all
competition out and love for working
men 1 shout, then make the goods
that they must buy and boost the
prices good and high. A sucker born
each minute? Boo! Why, bless your
soul, its nearer two"
"Your scheme is great" the other
said, "but I've got one that kills 'em
dead. Now listen and I'll tip may
hand-I run the money of the land.
The people let me boss finance and,
bet your life, 1 grab the chance. I
have convinced the voting ranks that
money shonld be made by banks.
"And as boss the banks, you see, /
skin 'em both ways easilee. A double
interest I claim in working out my
smooth con game" And thus the two
grew chummy quite and laughed
aloud in their delight to think that
they so rich could wax by bank con-
troll and tariff tax.
And ere the twain had dined and
wined they had tied up and schemes
combined, and now they work their
merger neat upon both sides of Sucker
Street. When one can't get the
victims chink he tips his pal the prop.
CIR wink, and then the pal, quick as
fash, sand-bags the man and grabs
his cash.

The Tariff Question.

The Republican politicians are con-
siderably agitated over what Presi-
dent Roosevelt will say on the tariff
question when he reaches Des Moines
The President is we'll aware of the
fact that the Republicans Of Iowa are
divided by the tariff into two factions,
Governor Cummins and his supporters
stand for what is known as the "Iowa
Idea", for a revision Of every tariff
schedule which furnishes a shelter
for the trusts; and those who oppose
that policy call themselves "Stand
Pat" Republicans, and favor a con-
tinuance of our present tariff laws,
some of which are practically prohibi-
tive.
There can be no such thing as free
trade in this country, unless the words
Stree trade" are given an arbitrary
and special meaning. No matter
what party is in power, this country
will in the future, as in the past, col
lect the greater part of the money
needed for expenses of the federal
government from a tariff on imports.
Every dollar so collected is an Incl
dental advantage, or protection, If
some had sooner call it by that name,
to the manufacturers of this country.
This country must have tariff laws
for revenue purposes, but should not
have tariff laws to prohibit our trade
with foreign countries.
When tariffs are so high that they
become prohibitive they produce no
revenue aud injure the masses of the
people. Prohibitive tariffs tend to de-
stroy the foreign markets where our
producers dispose of their surplus pro.
ducts; and, what is still worse, suct
tariffs enables the manufacturers OF
certain articles to combine, form
trusts and charge the consumers OF
their products unjust and extortionate
prices. The President will make a
mistake if he sides with the protect.

The Democracy Depends on the Sup.
port of Labor.

This newspaper has repeatedly de-
elared that the Democrats, to succeed,
must in the first place deserve the
support of the labor unions and other
American working classes, and in the
second place work in harmony with
them.
To-day the Republican party in
America, like the Tory party in Eog-
land, is the party Of money and of
special privileges. No man, no Re-
publican ever doubts for moment
that every trust owner, every man
with q scheme for wholesale plumber,
every man fighting for special privil-
eyes for himself as against the rights
Of the people, is IN FAVOR OF
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The Democratic party is naturally
allied with the great working majority
Of the United States as is the Repub-
lisan party with the plutocratic mi
nority of the United States. Normal
~ the Democrats should be always in
power and the plutocratS always out
of power in a country where majori-
ties rule. But the plutocrat minority
has the money, it has perfect organ
ization, it rewards richly those who
serve it. And controlling as it does
the financial situation, it frightens
the millions of little men by frighten-
ing their pocketbooks.
The Democratic party and the
w0rkingmep, who are Its natural
members, must succeed by organiza-
tton. And the first step must be to
establish strong union between the
power of the labor unions and the
Democratic party.
The Democratic leaders, as we have
said, must DESERVE this by work.
ing persistently, sincerely and single
mindedly for the interest Of labor,
which means not only the interest OF
the majority Of all the people, but
the real interest Of all our industries
and Of all our honest rich men as well.

Tally the rich, depends upon the pros
perity and spending capacity of the

PHONETIC ALPHABET.
Mr.. Carnegie Backs the Movement
for Reform in the Language.
Ready to Give $4,000 to Prominent
Educators Who Are Pushing the
Effort to Simplify the Spell.
ing of English Words.

Andrew Carnegie has come to the
relief of ''the English language as
she is spoken" He has pledged his
financial support to movement
which will bring about reform and
correct abuses in the speaking and
writing of English. This is in pur-
suance of desire of Mr.. Carnegie
to have English the principal lam
guage of the world. The first step
will be in the direction of reform
and simplicity. The members of the
various pathological societies which
have been laboring for phonetic SPELL
ing and the creation of a pronuncia-
ton alphabet aroused Mr.. Carne-
gie's interest in the matter, and he
will finance the undertaking until it's
completion to the extent of $4,000
year.
A meeting of educators, presided
over by Mr.. Dewey, of Albany, was
held at Columbia university in New
York city on Saturday, February 81.
This committee discussed the matter
thoroughly, but so far as can be
learned no definite action was decid-
ed upon.
w. T. Harris, United tates commits
sioner of education, who was invited
to attend the meeting in New York,
has been made aware of what trans
pired and the present status of the
movement. He said tonight:
''The need of a pronouncing alpha

guage has long been felt. The
movement has been fostered by the
many pathological societies, and when
the matter was brought to the at
tention of Mr.. Carnegie he consented
to furnish the necessary money if
the project was handled by respon-
sible men.
"Take the word though 1t is ar
gued that there should be a sign for
'th,' and the word would then be
spelled by using the sign determined
upon for the first two letters and
the letter 90 For instance, the Eng.
lish pronunciation of the word post
is 'poust.' That is the way it is pro.
nounced in England. We pronounce
it post The accent on the vowel
Is almost lost. That is due to the
school marms' of our land, who for
the last 100 years have been telling
John when he came to the word
post and was inclined to drawl over
the 90 to bury up and not drag il
out.
There are other great reforms in
English that there lis a desire to
correct, but they are all overshad-
owed by the move for the alphabet.
"Mr. Carnegie's move is simply a
plan to see what can be done along
this line. had no idea that the mat
ter was to be made public until all
