On Long Island there is a craze for
the collection of one-cent coins dated
1902. Many who have such coins are
holding them for rise in price. The
craze had it's origin in the report, be-
lieved to have originated in Washing
ton in joke. that when the 1902 cents
were being minted some careless en-
ploye dropped a bar of gold into the
smelter, with the result that the alloy
of the cents is partly of gold. Some
holders of the coins went to the trouble
of having several analysed by a metal
lurgist, but no gold was found.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd) refers to Senator Hanna's bill
to pension ex-slaves as IAN absurd
measure" and a pension scheme of
impossible character" But why should
it be called either absurd or impossi-
BILE? Is it more absurd that the pen
sioning of bounty jumpers and desert
ers, or than the proposition TO give
every man who served In the Union
army as much as sixty days a service
pension? AS for the ''impossibility" of
il, our Springfield contemporary should
know from observation that there is
no such word as impossible" in the
bright lexicon of the Republican party
having reference to pension schemes.
All things that look to pensions, and
votes, are possible with the Republi-
can party.

House that our consuls in Mexico We're
a rather tough lot, who paid more at
tention to having a good time than to
their business. This is corroborated by
Poultney Bigelow, who has been to
Berlin and everywhere. who adds that
there is not a consul of the United
States in any Central or South Ameri-
can country that is sober after mid
night. Now the question arises, where
do the consuls get the money to get
drunk on? Mr.. Bigelow himself says
the pay is so meagre that competent
men will not work for it.

The new issue of two-cent post
age stamps is being roundIy
denounced by newspaper writers
wherever the new stamps have
been put on sale. The old stamps
were neat in design and everybody
seemed pleased with them. The new
ones are overwhelmed with ornamental
ton and hair-line work, with the re-
suit that they look smudged and dingy.
There was no demand for a new stamp.
1t seems. however, that the people in
the bureau of engraving and print
ing had to be given something to do
to keep them from absolute idleness,
hence they were instructed to engrave
and print a new two-cent stamp.
