Inventor of picture Postal Cards.

London Standard.
 The German press has announced the death of one who claimed to have first had the idea. in 1872. of reproducing pictures and portraits on the backs of post cards. But France now comes for ward with a previous title dating from the year 1870. A small bookseller of the town of ille-le-Guillaume, in the Sarthe Department, Autographed on the back of a number of post cards a design. which found a ready sale among the Mobile Guards of the Camp at conlfe. Several of these cards still exist.
 The design consisted of two allegori- cal piles of arms, and the inscription was: war of 1870. Conlie Camp. Sou venir of the National Defense. The Brittany Army" Then followed three lines upon which the Mobile Guard could write his name and a message. It was an easy way for the country folk at camp to let their families know that they were we'll. and although NJ Bes- nardeau, the bookseller. sold many of these cards, he could certainly never have imagined what an industry the manufacture of picture post cards was destined to become thirty-hve years

TROUBLE IN DELAWARE,

It begins to look as If those eminent Christian statesmen of Delaware. Messrs. Addicks and Alice, are going to have some trouble with the colored contingent this year. There are about 5000 colored voters in the State, and the Republican plurality has never ex- ceeded half that number during the ten years of their control of the little State. It is plain from this that a de- fection in the colored vote will totally wipe out what little hope the Repub- licans have of carrying the State in No- vember. Whether the negroes turn to the Democrats or merely refuse to vote, the practical result will be the same.
 Years ago the negroes were held in line by appeals to their gratitude They were taught that the Republican Party freed them from slavery and that they should reciprocate by voting the ticket as early and often as circumstances would allow. This argument was ef- fective until Addlcks became & finan- cial power in Delaware politics. His
 
 their price, and on that theory he did business. He was not at all particular about color and would buy a white voter as cheerfully as a colored one Like the whale. he would open his mouth and take in whatever small fry the waves of politics brought him. and there is no doubt that he made 1t pay to some extent, though even with the active help of the President he doesn't seem to have any cinch on the State.
 But to get back to the colored breth- 'ren. 1t seems they have caught on and are learning that there is something in 1t for them. Heretofore they have voted the Republican ticket from mis- taken sense of what they considered a duty, and also for a small considera- tion. but the Addicks crowd have not considered 1t essential to offer them anything like a fair price for their votes. As we said. they are catching on and are getting their eyes open to the fact that they have been going too cheap. They find that colored votes are worth as much as white ones, and that while their own ballots have been kent on the marked down list. some of the white bargain-counter sufrragists have been growing fat as a result of good trading with some buyers.
 It is now announced that the negroes are becoming indifferent. if not actu- ally recalcltrant, and that they propose to have a fairer divide in the future or refuse to play. This is giving Addicks and Alice some concern, and that con- cern Is also shared by the President. He wants to be assured of Delaware's vote. and to secure it has not hesitated to enter into combination with the thieves and boodlers and thereby to

LEAVING OFF THE STRIPES.

We notice that the State of New York has taken a step in the treatment of criminals that should be followed by others. and that is the abolishment of striped or other distinguishing uni- forms for prisoners. It is at best relic of barbarian, or mediaevalism for which there is now no excuse. It is true that there are criminals of such low and brutal instincts that no pecu- liarity of dress can affect them. or be considered degrading. SThe old plan of cropping and branding would not be considered a degradation to some human beings.
 This class, unfortunately, does not embrace all who fall under the dis pleasure of the law and who are com pelled to serve the State in the capacity of prisoners. Many a grown man. and a still larger number of youths, violate the law who are not brutaHzed by crime Their instincts are not criml- nal, and their lives have not been spent in violating the laws, but in moments of passion. or yielding to some unusual temptation. they commit a crime. It is right that they should be punished, but it is not necessary for the State to degrade them in their own eyes and in the eyes of others. Many a poor man Is wearing stripes for crime for which a richer man would have atoned in dol lars and felt no sense of degradation on account of it.
 The question, as we see it, resolves itself into this: Has the State a right to impose extra punishment on a wrong -doer? If a man commits a serve the State at hard labor for a certain period. That is legal punish ment, essential to good government, and no good citizen can controvert the justice of the punishment. but when the State puts stripes on a man who still retains feelings of pride and self respect it has really added an addi- tional punishment which in some cases is more deeply felt than is the i'm prisonment and hard labor In the case of young boys the wrong is in- tensif1ed, because they feel that they have been degraded in the eyes of all who see or know them. and such feel ing may be the means of so discourag- to reform. At least for first. or for venal, offences let stripes be abro- gated.

become partaker of their rascaiity and participant of their dirty meth- ods. In the nope of reaping political profit from their villainy.
 As is we'll known. there Is a clean and respectable Republican element in Dell aware. the members of which are fight ing the Addicks wing. If they would unite with the Democrats. there would no longer be any doubt of the result. The Republican plurality Is small. at best, and if any considerable number of them would vote for Parker. the State would be safe. And If any con- siderable number of the negroes ny the coop" or even sulk in their tents because the price of votes Is too low, 1t will be all up with the G. O. P. That is why Addicks is worried, and the chances are that even his friend and coparcener, Roosevelt, will not be able to save him. The colored brethren have struck for better prices. Can Roosevelt. Addicks & Co, break the strike?

Heflin Has BIundered.

In a speech at Tuskegee on Monday Congressman Tom Hef1in of the Fifth Alabama District, used two sentences which were in bad taste and worse nominee for the district brought ele- merts into the campaign distasteful to the white men of the State and aggra- vating to Congressman Hefiin, but this did not justify the Democratic candi- date for reelection in making asser- tions which he must know will not be countenanced by his party. The re- port of the Congressman's speech con- tained the following:
 Tn contemptuously describing the dinner at which President Roosevelt and Booker Washington sat down to- gether, he said: There they sat Roosevelt and Booker, and if some Czolgosz or one of his kind had thrown a bomb under the table. no great harm would have been done the country"
 And in reference to 8 probable con- test for his seat by Walker, MT. Hefiin is thus reported
 And if Booker interferes in this thing there is way of stopping him. We have way of influencing negroes down here when 1t becomes necessary"
 Democrats throughout the State are astounded that MT. Heflin, who has been a State solicitor, Secretary of State and Is now Congressman, would use such incorporate and imprudent language. That a mature representa- tive of the people would place such weapon in the hands of the Republican National Committee at this time. is all most incredible. For two days The Register hopefully awaited some ind- cation that the statements attributed to Congressman Hef1in were exagger- ated in the press reports or made In a form less offensive to the vast majori ty of his party in the State who dis claim such sentiments. In the absence of contradiction we are compelled to regretfully accept the unfortunate ut terances, though we deny the right of MT. Hefiin to make them. Even in pri vate there Is no Justification for such language, delivered by member of Congress the offense Is aggravated. The phrases may be meaningless ex- aggerations meant for local consump- tion and are probably so regarded by Mir. Hefin, as they are by every think ing man in Alabama, but they convey an imputation which should be quick ly and explicitly removed for the ben eft of the State and to correct the i'm pression they will make on partisans ever ready to believe the worst of the South and it's people.

Bourke Cochran says "Republicanism is an appetite" Many years ago a public speaker referred to the opposite party as "an organized appetite" which was little more pointed than Cochran's way of putting it, but both expressions are good. They reach out for the office "as if increase of appetite had grown by what 1t fed on" As Party it is never satisfied, and as in- dividuals the members of the Party,are never satiated. It is an excellent time to choke the Party off the public teat and give 1t a chance to learn a little moderation.

LIKE OTHER BOYS. Says The Portland Oregonian

It i'll becomes the people of the North to grow hysterical or wax indis- nant over the attitude of the Southern people toward the colored race when scene like that reported in a dispa tch from Chicago few days ago transpires In one Of our greatest Northern cities among school children--a class that should certainly be amenable to author boys. none of whom was over Is years old, were stationed as pickets at the entrances of one of the large public school buildings to prevent pupils from boys. representing some TOO pupils, who yelled and hooted outside the picket cordon at teachers looking from the windows, was that one of the assistant teachers in the Kindergarten depart ment of the school was colored wo- man. After being assured that they were mistaken in this assumption, the youthful representatives of race preju- to drop the strike for their rights" and return to their studies.
 Certainly by this time our far-away contemporary ought not to be surprised at any exhibition of race prejudice in the North, Nor it must read it's ex- changes to little purpose If 1t is not continually finding examples of it. The IttiStdhc tHese DOyS .HdUe WdS III not being sure of the ground of their com plaint. If one of the teachers had been part negro, the boys would have been right in their resentment. We admit, as The oregonian elsewhere argues. that if 1t had been discovered that there was teacher of mixed blood in the schools, the patrons. parents and school officials were the proper ones to set the matter right, but the boys, acting on the belief that they were being taught by colored woman, and thinking that their elders would do nothing, took the case into their own hands and pro- posed to settle it in their own way. It was merely an exhibition of loyalty to their race. and of a boyish way of ex- pressing their resentment.

 There are a number of difficulties in the way of sending small sums of money by mail. especially in the coun- try where there is no money order of flee and where it Is often difficult to procure small bills. The Austrian au- thorities have adopted plan which is thus alluded to by a contemporary:
 It provides for the affixing to a post card of stamps to the value of the money desired to be sent the limit be- ing $2.50, plus the ordinary postage and a small additional charge. The receiver of the card Is put to as little bother, the card being changeable into cash at any postofiice. or. if the sender so specifies. the postman himself can hand Nothing could be simpler; and in the point that it saves a journey to the postoff1ce al one or both ends it is cer- tainly an improvement for the average individual over the present really con- ventient money order system generally in vogue.
 Of course there is the possibility that the paid card may be lost in transmits sion, but perhaps the danger is not greater than in the case of an ordi- nary registered letter. If the Govern ment makes itself responsible for the safe transmission and delivery of the cards. the scheme will save much truble and worry in mailing small amounts
