One Way In which the Government

: The post office department lose,
5 money every year. But there Is one
/ source Of revenue which is clear gain

There are two ways in which the
government profits 10y theearelessness

first placa many stamps are destroyed.
This means a profit to the department
OF thousands of dollars year; how
much cannot be estimated, for there IA
no means of getting the figures. ex.
eept by elaborate and untrustwerthy
calculation. A person carries stamps
IN his pockets until they are so worn
that he does not dare to use them.

Cancelled. Yet few people will nut a

many stamps are lost or destroved
entirely, and the government makes a
clear gain.
The other source Of loss to the In.

profits is the number OF stamps that
are wasted IN excess postage. People

The message was needed. The old
man was sent for and installed in his
cabin and told to stay there and sit in
the sunshine and enjoy himself the re-
mainder of his days. Everything is
furnished to him that is necessary to
make this possible. and he does his
part to perfection"
This is delightful picture and If it
were true of the south generally II
would do much to ameliorate condi-
tons. 1t is noteworthy that while the
people of that section are willing to
tolerate and assist the colored people
they insist that they shall keep their
places and not seek social, political or
business equality with the whites.

GERMAN DESIGNS in AMERICA.

1t is reasSurng to learn that from a
canvass of the commercial opinions OF
the German people there is no incllna-
ton upon the part of the business in
terests to acquire territory in South
America In fact they regard 1t as
ridiculous that their nation should have
political designs in that direction,
whatever may be the views and pur-
poses of the emperor on this subject.
On this latter phase of the matter very
naturally they would not comment. II
would be imprudent as well as disre-
spectful to their sovereign.
That Emperor William has had I'LL
Venezuela, many have come to believe. 1t
has been widely discussed and plausible
theories have been constructed out OF
various movements and events to sup
port it: yet there is nothing in his pub
lie utteranceS to warrant the view that
he has any but friendly feelings toward
the United States and her policy as de-
veloped in the Monroe doctrine. 1t is
quite probable that he does not like that
doctrine, but he is credited with too
much sense to attempt to overthrow it
at a monstrous cost.
There is every reason for cultivating
and maintaining friendly relations with
Germany. and it seems certain that the
American people will do all they can to
promote fraternity in that direction.

state. Nor are they entitled on any
reasonable ground to eight votes in ths

votes in the electoral collegs. Because
