For the third time in the history of the nation, in recognition of the import ance of a brilliant enterprise Postmaster General Gary has decided to order a 6eries ot special postage s'amps, com memorative of the holding of the Trans Mississippi and International Exposi tion at Omaha in 1898. The stamps will bs issued in denominations of 1 cent, 2-cent, 5-cent, 10 -cent and $100, making it possible for the public to use these stamps on all outgoing foreign bb well as domestic mail matter and packets of mercbantdise. In the United States there are 70,000 post offices, so that the widespread circulation of these stamps, suggestive to the Tr&ns Mississippi and International Exposition, will be readily attenied. The issue lends the Exposi tion the prestige of government recogni tion and support. As it is the aim of the Postmaster General to give the Exposition a series of stamps tnat will not only be artistic in character, but which will appeal to all classes of people and be especially typi cal of the Greater West, it is suggested that possibly one of the denominations might have on the face a reproduction of a celebrated painting, "Fremont Hoisting the Flag on the Rocky Moun tains." The cemplex picture which Langs in the south corrodor of the capitol, known as "We-tard-ho," emblematical of tho hardships attendant upon the pioneer, and suggested by Bishop Berkley's quo tation, "Westward the course of the em pire takes its way," is also proposed. A representation of the picture, 'Do Soto's Discovery of the Mississippi River," in ths rotunda of the capitol at Washington, is suggested for usa on one of the stamps. The stamps will bo different in co'or from the regular series. In shape they will resemble the Columbian stamp is sued in commemoration of the World's Fair. The new ones will be twice the size of the present postage stamp. The Trans-Mississippi stamps will be sought after by collectors, and as there are near ly a million of these people in the worl J, the government, instead of being philan rhropic, expects to realize handsomely upon the issue. Columbian stimps to day are selling at prices many times higher than was onc9 paid for them and they are growing more valuable each year. It is the same way with the Cen tennial stamp, and it will also be true of the Trans Mississippi stamp. Third Assistant Postmaster General Merritt, invites suggestions of scenes for use of the stamps, it being the desire of the post ofllce authorities to give the Trans-Mis3i6sippi ann International Ex position the handsomest set of stampB ever issued to commemorate an exposition.
