SAME OLD SWINDLE.
The "green goods" industry has not
been attended with any fatality, aa far
aa any records go, since Holland, the
little Texan, shot and killed Tom Davis,
the big crook, and alleged counterfeit
money dealer, bo me years ago in New
York, until the incidentof Ponghkeepsie,
in which George Appo, the half-breed
Chinese cook, who attempted to swin
dle two South Carolina rustics, was shot
by one of them. The man who did the
shooting, and who gave his name as" Ira
Hogshead, is now in the Poughkeepsie
jail. A curious feature of these swindles
is that the would-be purchaser of alleged
counterfeit money, "which it is impos
sible to tell from genuine," come from
South and Southwest. The game is old,
very old, and the papers have teemed
with instancesof it for years past ; yet
victims are etill gathered in. The men
who come here with the idea of getting
something for nothing generally get in
to some disgraceful scrape, which ex
poses their names and identity to the
public, and very frequently loses their
money and other personal property, in
their little ventures. Yet still they
come. Perhaps they come from regions
where the newspaper does not circulate,
and so aoAgnorant ot what a hopeless
quest they are on. The funny thing
about it is that they imagine they are
unknown, while the fact is the frequency
with which they appear has made - their
type a familiar one to the police, who
can, and usually do, '.'spot" them very
soon after their appearance in public.
Since these poor fools never read the
papers, cannot some means be taken to
warn them of the folly, as well as the
criminality, of their attempts to get rich
by taking unfair advantage of their
neighbors?- Why can't clergymen in
these benighted regions take up the sub
ject, and give a general, impersonal
warning? Of course, it is impossible
that the moral side . of the question
would appeal to their natures, and
perhaps is most likely, they consider
themselves smart enough to outwit the
New York thieves, not knowing how
many have failed. Astorian.
IT WAS ILLEGAL.
At the recent meeting of the school
taxpayers held in The Dalles a 3-mill
tax waslevied, which conflicts with a
law just enacted by the Oregon legisla
ture, and as it stands at present there is
no money in sight with which to pay
the old liabilities or any deficiency in
the current expenses. We shall have to
wait until an assessment roll is compiled
by the county assessor, and until the
aggregate of the assessable property of
una aiBinci, s snown Dy mat roll, is
certified to us by . the county clerk.

A cable message says that Gladstone
was subjected to a hostile demonstration
on the aristocracy of Brighton yesterday.
morning with Lord Acton, he found a
large crowd outside, including a number
of young tory "bloods" who saluted him
with vigorous shouting, hissing and cries
of "traitor." The liberals present re
spond with cheers and the tumult was
heightened. Gladstone's passage was
blocCed until a cab was fetched and he
drove quickly away.
The advantages of possession' of the
-Hawaiian islands by the United States,
in the event of a war with any foreign
power, is set forth at length by Captain
A. T. Mahan in his article in the March
Forum. Summing up, he says: "Upon
one particular, however, too much stress
cannot be laid, one to which naval
officers cannot but be more sensitive
than the general public, and that is the
- immense disadvantage to us of any mar
itime enemy having a coaling station
well within 2,500 miles, as this is, of
every point of our coast line from Paget
sound to Mexico. Were there many
others available, we might find it diffi
cult to exclude from all. There is, how
ever, but the one. Shut out ;from the
Sandwich islands as a' coal base, an
enemy is thrown back for supplies of
fuel to distances of 3,500 or 4,000 miles
or between 7,000 and 8,000, going and
coming an impediment to sustained
maritime operations well-nigh prohi

But does it? It's put up by the
thousands , of gallons, and sold to hun

well as though it had been compounded
just for you?
Its makers say that thousands of peo
ple who have had Tetter and Salt
rheum, Eczema and Erysipelas, Carbun

Enlarged Glands, are well today because
they used it.
Suppose, that . this is so. . Suppose
that a quick-witted man wAs far-seeing
enough io know that to cleanse the
blood was to cleanse the life. Suppose
that by many experiments, and after
many failures, he discovered this golden
key to health and that his faith in it for
you is so strong that you can go to your
druggist, buy a bottle, and if it doesn't
help you, you can get your money re
turned cheerfully. Will you try it?

Ex-Secretary Foster says : "Congress
should have increased the whisky tax 50
cents and given us a chance to replenish
our stock of money. .The fact is, the
demand for gold is perfectly regular; it
is not speculative. It is the natural de
mand of foreign countries that need
gold. The only thing artificial or epecu
lative in the situation was the effort
made to keep the gold here. That, of
course, was to keep the market Bteady
and ' not to meet business demands
However, there is near $500,000,000 of
gold in the country. The public mind is
comparatively easy, and. I have no doubt
that Carlisle will be able to put himself
in a position to meet all demands for
gold."

1 . Of Interest to Merchants. -
The suit of A. 8. Collins and Mrs. A. S. Collins
against H.. Herbring of this city, which was to
come before the jury yesterday morning, was
again postponed. This salt against one of our
oldest and best-known dry goods merchants
creates considerable comment in commercial
circles. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. A. 8. Col
lins obtained under false pretenses and promises
at the end of the year 1891, goods to the amount
of 150.80 from the defendant ; but instead of pay
ing the blU, as agreed, they shortly afterwards
left the city by night and moved to California.
Last spring Mr. Herbring learned that all their
household goods, etc., were In the hands of the
sheriff of Wasco county, and consequently placed
a second attachment upon the goods held by the
sheriff. A portion of these goods were sold last
December by the sheriff of Wasco county, as no
By tlie above extracts from our daily newspapers our friends and

compromise could be obtained by defendant.
And now come the plaintiffs and sue through
their attorney, Jndge A. 8. Bennett, the defend
ant, for the sum of $175.00. We will watch this
suit when it comes before the jury, as we think
it is one of great interest to storekeepers.

Eazor-Edged Technicalities.
The case of A. 8. Collins vs. 41. Herbring was
on trial in the Circuit Court today, and the jury
empanelled were E. W. Trout, Geo. Joles, A. Bet
tiDgen, Jr., Geo. W. Miller, S. B. Adams, James
Harper, W. C. Hansell, John Wood. Argument
was had this morning on a motion to non-suit,
made by defendant's counsel, which was taken
under advisement until afternoon, when the
Judge overruled the motion. The facts appear
to be that the plaintiff left this city owing Mr.

Herbring, and he attached property for the debt.
After the sale of the attached property the de
fendant attempts to set aside the sale and snej
Mr. Herbring for damages, claiming that tne
proceedings were not technically legal. The
razor-edge technicalities of law, we presume,
will always remain, but It works great hard
ships on creditors, in many instances, to be de
barred from collecting their just claims from
the commission of a clerical error or the misin
terpretation of a dubious statu tory provision.
From the Daily Chronicle of Feb. SSth.
- The suit of A. 8. Collins and Mrs. A. 8. Collins
vs. H. Herbring came to a termination yesterday
afternoon, the jury rendering a verdict in far
of the plaintiffs. Mr. Herbring considers his
defeat as a fart accompli, and is now more than
ever convinced that he has to stick to his old
rule and motto to sell dry goods cheap and for
