For sfnmn Collectors.

From the London Morning Post.
Sale of stamps not for postal but for
collectors use is quite an item of revenue
in some foreign countries. and even the
British post-otfice receipts are no doubt
augmented al times by the purchase Of
philatelists. Since the death of the late
King and pending the introduction of the
new George V stamps. there seems 10
have been several interesting changes in
the shades Of the color of some of the
stamps, although the alterations have
been effected without notice OF the 2d
the color has varied in respective issues
from lightest green to a dark or olive
green. which is the most recent color
The differences in shade and printing are
easily distinguishable i would ap-
pear that in respect Of these shades"
some of the philatelists have been
caught mapping" and that there has
been much inquiry here and there for
different specimens. The lighter shades
have. however become practically obso-
lete and are not easy TO obtain Then
the I'D. stamp has also assumed a
darker hue Lilac varieties seem to be
scarce the more recent issues being of a
decided purple The 2l5d blue and the
Id. rose red have occasionally become
fuller in color. Unused copies of the al
green and brown, which were super
seeded on November l by the Id. orange.
have also become rare.

STUMP ORATORY FUTILE.
People No Longer Moved by Old
time Appeals,

From ths Oklahoma City Times
The tradition goes that when an Italian
is drunk be courts hts lady love; In that
condition a Sp8niard prays TO God. the
Freuchmau dances. the German sings,
the Euglishmau eats. the Irishman nights.
and the American makes a stump
speech.
But either our people are become most
temperate or the art OF stump OratOry
is falling into inuocuous desuetude.
II declined first north Of Mason and
Dlx0ns line, though il f0urished thel
even after the most famous OF all p0Iu-
cal joint debates-thar between DougL-s
and Lincoln IN 1S5S-when Macdonald rlg-
Morton on the stump as rival can5idate
for governor of Indiana.
In Tennessee and Kentucky IL prospered
most in the old days. Andy johnson
made two campaigns, meeting his adver-
sarv face 10 face when he was a candI-
date FOR governor.
Before that James X. Polk and Lean
Jimmy Jones made all Tennessee rever-
berate with their d.sputative eloquence.
Ben Hill met all corners in Georgia. and
got Of without serious wound, even in
combat with Robert Toombs himself
But the newspapers have suppIanred the
stump orators The audiences have be-
come as intelligent and oftyime more
shrewd than The man who addresses
them.
The public document is cheaper and
more effective than the tongue or stump
eloquenCe
and hence down in Tennessee the chal-
Ienge Of Gov. Patterson TO his Republican
adversary TO meet him on the stump was
greeted with derision, possibly with con-
tempt and the governor resigned from
the contest.
The day OF the stump orator is over.

VISIT OF THE SULTAN.
An Occasion Calling for Extreme
Courtesy, Not Levity-


From the Boston Transcript.
How 10 receive the Sultan of suiu is
said TO be puzzling Washington official
dom. II is a minor problem within the
greater problem Of the Philippines. His
highness, who is our dependent prince.
and as such a stipendiary of the United
States. is shortly 10 land on these shores
either 10 negotiate the sale OF his col
lection OF pearls or 10 look upon his
suzerain He travels in his private ca
pacity and eschews all pomp and cere-
mony. a circumstance that renders the
problem all the more difficult 70 Wash
ington. As the Sultan is personally ac-
quainted with a number OF army officers
now stationed at the capital. to them may
be remanded his entertainment.
Washington is inclined 10 laugh at the
Sultan in advance. but his visit may prove
no laughing matter II he Is treated with
levity- He is the head Of the Mohamme-
dams Of our possessions. and they are a
stubborn race who have been found
worthy not only OF our steel but OF our
gold. They are extremely sensitive
withal. and this sensitiveness IS stimu-
lated both by inch memories OF a great
past, when they seemed on the verge OF
dominating the Eastern seas. and by
their present isolation. To the latter in
iiuence. compelling a limited mental Wis
ion. may be attributed a severe collision
with them, due 10 their inability 10 see
why a scientific exploration Of their lands
required such instFumentalities and aux
iliaries as three regiments OF infantry. a
I regiment Of cavalry and two field bat
terles. The Sultan on his return can en-
tighten them
Seriously, our government should see
that no nl-timed official levity jars the
reception Of the Sultan. A power long
colonial would be sedulous in It's courtesy
10 a dependent prince. In Great Britain
and France he would be lodged gratu!-
tously and IuXuriously. Escorts would
attend him, and he discreetIy would be

dressed officials schoOled TO ceremony
would leave nothing undOne gratifying
10 the pride Of a pOtentate. and they
would reap their reward In the harmony
that would thereafter reign between suZe-
rain and dependent. They regulate these
matters better in Great Britain and
France than We do merely reckoning
that loyalty is cheaply purchased at the
price OF a few ceremonies and suifi-
cheney Of banquets Possibly We shall
learn some time that foreigners do p5t

audible criticism OF crowds. We are very

The People and the Democracv.

A study of political conditions in the
West and Northwest has revealed to
Willis J. Abbot a phase Of the situation
that may Wei tend to turn Democratic
optimism into deep concern.
He finds that the Democratic voters. in
large number, long ago losing heart. have
gone over now TO the insurgent OF pro-
gressive Republicans
Victor Murdoch is a good enough
Democrat for me-" is the way one Of this
number expressed it in Kansas.
La Toilette was good enough Demo-
crat for the minority party TO keep out
OF the primary in Wisconsin and thus
make his way clear to denomination.
Looking backward briefly, it is easy
now 10 see that the victories of Foss. in
Massachusetts. and Ravens. in New York.
at special Congressional elections were
nonpartisan, rather than Democratic.
Each had as his opponent a stand-pat
Republican. In the light Of developments,
who knows but that a progressive Re
publican candidate OF tested convictions
and demonstrated courage would have
appealed to the awakened electorate in
each case even more strongly?
II the country. speaking Of it generally,
is turning toward the Democracy in these
abnormal political times-and the results
in Maine. Vermont and New Hampshire
leave no doubt Of that tendency-it is
because there is no alternative medium
Tor rebake Of the party in power.
In the few states and scattered districts
West and Northwest. where an alterna-
| tive is offered. the conditions are anything
but promising to the Democracy or con-
ducive TO its success, as Mr.. Abbot, him
/ self a Democrat and an optimist, Is
clearly pointing out in his news letters
from nsurgent quarters.
A split in the Republican party-the
very worst spit IN its history doubtless

The Meanest Nan on Earth.


From the New York Herald.
Here is a man SO mean that in his
presence the person who takes candy
from infant hands by force or robs the
penny bank owned by youthful innocence
would declare himself noble and high
minded. He it was who stole the baby
carriage and left the occupant on the
pavement saying GOO goo" to a news
paper Of the day before, which he had
given the child for a doh. Mrs. Max
Wolinsky left her baby girl Eta at 4
O'Clock the other afternoon In front Of her
husbands dry goods store in Brooklyn
while she went in 10 assist him waiting
on customers during a rush The child.
which is a year old, was in her little car
riage contented and happy and wrapped
in a new coat While Mrs Woinsky was
measuring muslin and calico and dimity
the villain arrived. He lifted the baby
out OF the carriage and deposited it on
the sidewalk and then he took off that
little gray coat. But 1t cannot be said
that he was entirely heartless, for he
wound an old newspaper up in the form
OF doll and placed it in the chubby
hands of Eta and disappeared swiftly
around the corner with the carriage and
the coat and the dainty pillows which
Mrs. Wolinslzy had made.

Interior Department is at the Raleigh.
Mr. Kilsore is closely following the trend
Iof politics in the Empire State and, dis
cussing the matter last night, said:

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
AN ANNUAL MYSTERY.

From countryside and beach and hill
The strollers come;
And all emit a lusty trill
In praise of home.
