Beginning July 1, the envelopes will be made by the Mercantile Cor p -a1 ion of Dayton, Ohio, that com pany having bid lower than the Hartford Envelope Company, which has manufactured practically all this line of material for the government since stamped envelopes came into use thirty years ago. The Dayton company's contract is at a higher figure than that at which the work was formerly done by the Hartford people. It is due to this advance in cost to the government that the higher price lias been made to the postmasters, but the explanation of their ability to meet that advance without a pecuniary loss is another story. There has always been a leak in the retailing of stamped envelopes which the department has been un able to stop. It results from the sliding scale applied to sales in small quantities, which always made a dis crepancy between the cash and the stamp account. Stamped envelopes which cost $21.20 a thousand, or a fraction more than two cents each, were sold at three cents for a single envelope, five cents for two, seven cents for three, nine cents for four, and so on. In each transaction there is a profit of a fraction of a cent.and exact c'lange could rarely be made. Postmasters account to the depart ment at wholesale prices for the stamper! envelopes handled, ana what becomes of the balance remains a question. The profit may go to the postmaster or his clerk, who may account to him as he- accounts to the department. There is a claim that the local postoffice is entitled to this margin to cover mistakes some times made in making change, these mistakes being held as inevitable and the clerk and the postmaster being compelled to make good. On Feb ruary 21, 1905, an order was issued requiring all postmasters to account for this margin in small sales, but it is understood that this accounting has never been generally made. The raise of four cents a thousand on these envelopes will, with the same retail price, undoubtedly cut this un known profit. It is not known from whom the $50,000 advance in the sale of these envelopes will come certain ly not from the public. It will be either the loss of the stamp clerks at various offices or postmasters, who have under the old way of doing busi ness, received the profits of the small sales.

Tlie Best Lawless Country. Tfi2 Soulii's Prosperity. (r'K-.iloUe Observer.) In a parser published and sanction ed by the American Academy of Po litical Science Prof. James W. Gar ner, of the University of Illinois, de clares that "the people of thetimted States stand before the civilized ra tions as the most lawless in the world."Prof. Garner produces a table showing that homicide? are now rang ing around 0,000 a year, with only I1G legal executions for 1904, the la test'year included in his statistics. The United States have li2 homicides to each million population as against tVinn fivp in fiormrmv. ten in England and Wales, twelve in Can- j ada, and 13 and 1-2 in France. Chica go, with third the population of Lon don, has eight times as many mur ders. Of our host of man-slayers we only managed to execute 118 (includ ing negroes) in 1904, scoring practi cally no advance in twenty years ago, when killings were but one-fifth a3 many. As is notorious, though Prof. Garner sems to have no statis tics on this point, nothing whatever is done to the vast majority of slay ers. Murderers are acquitted and lionized upon pleas which would not be tolerated for a moment in the courts of any other civilized country. Lynchings increase at a great rate. The country is more lawless each year than it has ever been before. Prof. Garner only spoke simple truth when he assigned to us our bad eminence. Is it net time that the American peo ple, if only from a sense of shame, were opening their eyes wide to this evil? (Monroe joi:rr.:i!.) .

What wc see to-day, here and there, in South ern upbuilding, in the growth of towns and cities and the advance in wealth, is as nothing compared with what we shall see during the next five or ten years. All the progress since 1380 is to be more than dupli cated within five or ten year?, and it will come so rapidly that it wiil tax the strength of character and the religious life of the South, to a far greater extent than war or poverty. We are at the crucial point in South ern life. Prosperity is coming. We could not stay it if we would. There is no question as to the almost limit less developments ahead of up, but it is a question of profound interest whether the people of the South shall ' become to nisde with money-chasing as to forget the high er things of life." We have tried to point out this same fact frequently, that money seeking and getting as a mere end won't bring happiness in an indi vidual, and the same thing is true of a section. If the South is to remain as happy with its money as it has been without it, the better things religion, morality, charity, benevo lence, hospitality, unselfishness, gen erosity, consideration, education and culture, philanthropy and sincerity must still be cultivated.

One chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger lonp-er than two chews of such to bacco. The color, size and shape of the tags, plugs and packages of certain imitation brands of tobacco have been made so much like Schnapps that they have often been accepted by buyers under the belief that they were getting Schnapps. Sufficient proof has been secured to establish the fact that pertain brands are infringements and in vio lation of the trade mark laws, yet the trade will continue to he imposed upon by these infringers until the suit already entered and now pending to protect Schnapps is decided.
