Formerly the rate for letter postage was cents per half ounce, but under the new regulations the rate hereafter will be cents for the first ounce and 3 cents for each additional ounce or fraction of an ounce.
 The Reply Coupon.
 A reform or change of equal import ance is the adoption of reply cou- pon, which, when presented at a post afina of any of tha- countries that are members Of the postal convention, will entitle the person presenting it to receive a postage stamp equivalent to the value of a five cent United States postage stamp. The coupon itself will be sold for six cents, the one cent diff ference being charged for recording and printing. By this a person in the United States can furnish his cores pondent in any of the countries in the postal union with postage stamp which will repay the postage on re- ply to the letter.
 This reply coupon is the nearest thing to a universal postage stamp that has ever been adopted. In the last three postal conventions, deter mined efforts have been made by some of the delegates in hopes of passing a measure providing for such stamp, but in every case the idea has met with but little support. The reason for this very noticeable non support is that in the introduction of universal postage stamp practically universal currency would result The idea of such currency has al ways been fought by many countries and they felt that such step would be bound to follow the adoption of a universal postage stamp.
 Redeemed at Value. Each country of the postal union will issue these reply coupons and at the end of each quarter or half year those which they have received will be forwarded to the country where they were issued in order that a set clement may be effected The stamps will be redeemed for their value and the accounts of the different countries balanced.
 Tax on Short Paid Letters-
 fn general, the other regulations of the convention are similar to those which have been in effect for several years. With letter postage prepay ment, however, is made optional, but the person receiving the unpaid ol short paid letter Is required to pay double the deficient postage. Wher such shork paid letters are received by the exchange postofiice they art marked CT" meaning tax" so that the attention of the carrier is called to the deficiency when the letter is delivered.

CHEAPER POSTAGE
 BETWEEN NATIONS
This and Universal Stamr Coupon Features of New
 Convention,

On October 1, 1907, the regulations provided by the Universal Postal con yention, signed in Rome, Italy, May 2e. 1906, will take effect. These reg ulations will supersede those of the Universal Postal convention signed in Washington, D. C., June IS, 1897, and it's stipulations will govern the ex- change of mails between the United States and other countries, except Canada. Mexico and Cuba and the re- public of Panama, with which the United States has separate postal con yentions
 Although in general use these new regulations are similar to those which have been in effect for several years, in two instances important changes have been made. These are the re- duction of the rate of letter postage and the adoption of a reply coupon.

out Of existence the several hundred

they are discussing the proposal Of

PROHIBITION IN TENNESSEE.
New York World.)

The signature of the Governor OF
Tennessee is regarded as certain for
the Adams prohibition bill, which has
been passed by both branches OF the
Legislature. Tennessee, with a pop
ulation Of more than 100000, will be
the largest prohibition State in the
Union. Kansas is second, with 1900.
600, Maine and North Dakota follow.
Ing in the order named. The no-li.
cense States and Territories will now
number some 100000 inhabitants.
So conspicuous a victory for the pro-
hibition cause In the South may cause
surprise at time when Vermont has
just adopted local option act, and
when In Maine there is a strong de-
mand for resubmission OF the original
amendment. But the South Is, in
fact, the stronghold Of practical,
though not Of political. prohibition.

trod this earth without sin.
Why not? Is It too much to ask of
conscientious legislators? Indeed are
we not derelict in our duty to these
friendless, fallen women, II we ask
less? The trouble with the christian
world today is this: They are luke
warm and lazy In well-doing. They
make long prayers and sing songs
and preach great truths and commits
serate the wickedness of the world,
and weep and sigh and wish the world
we're better; but when it comes to act
ually' putting their hands to the pillow
and getting move on themselves and
doing something, they are lukewarm
and lazy; and the biggest obstacle in
the way of every reform. and we wish
to say this with marked emphasis;
the biggest obstacle in the way OF ev
cry reform, is to arose the christian
people to a proper effort for that re-
form.
The good people of this State have
the best reform legislature they have
ever had, or are likely to have again
soon, and If they have any reform
measures to correct any fragrant and
moral evils, now is the time to make
the fight for them.

flying. If Gov Patterson approves,
and 1t can be made to stand the test OF
the courts, 1t will be worth millions
of dollars to the farmers of the State,
because it will give them the oppor-
tunity of again engaging in the profit

sentative Bradley made clean-cut, SEN
sible speech when the bill came up,
and to his personal efforts much of the
credit for the passage of the bill
through the House is due. Mr.. Brad
ley pointed out many of the advanta-
ges which would accrue to the State
by the bills enactment, and while
there was considerable disposition to
cloud the issue on the part of certain
members, the Hiuse very sensibly
stood for the measure The slight
amendment made by the House Com

by the Senate, and we have little doubt
about the Governor. No man who vot-
ed for this meritorious measure need

THE REAL FORCE.

GA living dog is better than a deaf

Throughout the universe there are
things great and things small. A stal
is greater than a flower, a mountain
greater than a pebble, lion greater
than dog.
Among intelligent beings, endowed
with freedom and responsibility, with
reason and conscience, the same fact
is obvious Some men are greater
than others. Some women in mind and
in character transcend other women,
Man is made according to the decla-
ration of the Psalmist little lower
than God. not little lower than the an,

we shall Judge the angels.

more for God and humanity than
man of one talent
But beast when dead is of less
value than another beast of far less
strength and courage, if that other
beast be alive.
"A living dog is better than dead

man of great genius is of far less
value to society If his conscience be
dead and his character corrupt than
a man of far less ability If that other
man is pure and noble in life and soul.
A distinguished public man in speak
ing of his opponent said: IF he is not
a dead lion he is at least a Gagged and
toothless one" There are many bril-
liant men who are dead lions and there
are many others Gagged and toothless.

can not hear what they say. Again,

Sp6clal 10 the heIdiu.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, February l.
1890 D m.-The Pendleton bill was
taken up at IL o'clock. The author OF
the bill, Mr.. McElroy. moved that 1t
be put on its passage. The whiskey
men began at once their dilatory and
obstructive tactics, making all sorts
of frivolous amendments, opposititions,
roll calls, ETC. They lost every vote
by large majority. While they were
at work the administrative forces were
as busy as bees trying to break through
the temperance line, but they could
not find a weak point anywhere and
all the votes we're practically the
same. One move to amend was to
$4,000. another move was 100000.
Memphis delegates made a strong fight
for this, claiming that they were the
only city to be effected, and they did
not want to be reformed. But in spite
of all their efforts they were voted
down the same as other folks.
Upon the final vote, upon the pas
sage of the bill, the ayes were II,
noes %. 1t is generally believed that
if the Governor vetoes the bill, both
the Senate and the House will pass
it over his veto, but it is the concensus
of opinion that he will not veto the
bill.
| had a conversation this morning
with warm personal friend and politi-
cal adviser of the Governor, who told
me that his close friends were advising
him to sign the bill and that he (the
gentleman with whom ! was talkiHg) |
thought he would do so. The Cover
nor will probably accompany his sig |
nature with the following warning to
the legislation That if they attempt |
to repeal the charter ofany town where |
the local representatives are opposed |
to it, or wherever the people have not |
instructed them, that he will veto such |
local bills; but where the representa-
tives are unanimously in favor of it,
or where they are instructed for it,
or where the vote shall be taken, he
will sign such bills as that. F. d. l..
