I jnonaay vveanesaay ana rxiuay, FRIDAY, - MAR. 16, 1894 BOATNER'S BILL. .The bill to be introduced by Boatner will bean act of justice long delayed It involves broken promises made by Tw. TTn;t Pn..;fi,. .a;ia in. tKn TTnitai) States and a matter of some $60,000,000. The original projectors of the' road de serve great credit, to be sure, for laying thousands of miles of track through a -desert country, peopled by savages ; their enterprise is magnificent. It was against the judgment of the best in formed financial cotemporariea of that period, who could see no possible return for the investment before many years, if at all. The government so recognized the plan, and for the sake of the valua ble assistance that this would give in de- veloping its internal resources, which were comparatively unexplored, secured payment for work and material by gov ernment securities. But contrary to the most sanguine ex pectations, the railway line paid hand- - somely from tne start. Horace ureeiey's advice to "go west" became the craze, and the coffers of the company over- flowed with fares and freight tariff re ceipts. There was ho competition and a ecore of men suddenly became im mensely rich. A salary of $75,000 a year, or three times as much as George Washington received, was paid the presi dent of the road, The other officers re- toitmI mftom!fiifnf. ftnlaripflin nrnrtnrtinn. Meanwhile the maturing obligations due the government were unheeded. Great leniency was shown, and the utmost ad vantage was taken of it. The rapid accumulation of so much wealth suddenly made them sordid. They began to care nisre for gold than for patriotism. The 'goyernment which enriched them be came an object to bleed,: and how to avoid paying the debt due it with the maturity of their obligations a skillful mmKipm. Mssin while the stock had been "watered, making the greatest effort im iperative to pay a fair per cent of profit. Lately, the track has been neglected, the "tolling stock has been deteriorated until it is hardly sufficient to do the business reauired, until the whole system is like & sucked orange. The company has violated their trust, and pursued unfair methods to the government, and Mr. Boatner's bill to secure for the govern ment its long-delayed due will find ready response in the wishes of the people of the entire country. We read of a baby-born, with two well developed teeth. A result of the democ ratic administration. The baby knew it would have to live on hardtack for the next three years. ITo-calamity-preacb'er ever made the ' low wages of farm-hands' the theme of his remarks. His tears are shed for the oppressed in cities that he knows nothing about, . and he don't see any necessity for reform in the rate of wages paid by himself and hearers to the work ingmen right around him. The science of medicine is not a whit behind its neighbors in this age of dis covery. France has its pasteur, Ger many its Koch and America'its Amick, and now an antidote has been discovered for laudanum to bring suicides back to this vale of tears. The remedy is per manganate of potash, tried upon a Pitta burg man Tuesday night. ' After the fifth injection his muscles began to relax, and after seven were made he was pro- ' nounced out of danger. Editor Stead has . taken a. short run over to the United States, made a super ficial stay of a week or two in Chicago (evidently a part of the time with the demi monde) and now thinks he knows all about our government and the peo ple. He met a London reporter who interviewed him, to whom he made a violent and general onslaught on the corruptness of Chicago, its aldermen, law courts, and other organs of author ' ity: He said that Americans generally bad more to learn from the Old World than the Old World had to learn from them. He said: "In Russia one is more likely to be converted to republi canism than in the United States. Nothing in America strikes an English man more forcibly than the radical dis trust of the sovereign people. . One sim ply stands aghast upon coming to the country from England. I have never been in a more conservative country eince I left Russia.'' - - "Use Mexican Silver Stove Polish. MAKERS OF fJOGUS MONEY Some Curious Facts Given by an Ex-Secret Service Chief! Italians Predominate Among; . tbe For signers In Tit Is Country Who Are Engaged In Coun- terfeltlng. . y A. L. Drammond, late chief of the "secret service division of the treasury department, was an efficient officer, and his report contains a summary .of operations which show that the di vision, during- the last year has not been less active within its province and has accomplished results no less de cided, important and valuable for the government than in previous years. - It is among- the particular functions of the United States secret service to trace, arrest and secure the conviction of counterfeiters and those who em bezzle and misapply the funds of na tional banks. ' - According to the statement of Mr. Drammond, says the Chicago Times, there were, during 1893, 494 arrests for manufacturing, possessing and passing counterfeit money. It appears that this species of crime is indulged in by the native Americans to a gTeater ex tent than all .the foreign-born popula tion, as 252 of the 494 persons arrested claimed the United States as the place of their nativity. Among the foreign born counterfeiters the Italians were by far. the most numerous. The Chi nese contributed but one arrest. One of the curious features of the re port is the statement that fractional paper .currency, representing the value of 403, was counterfeited during the year. Little spurious copper coin was made; its amount was less than 564. The. greater difficulty in successfully simulating coinage is indicated by the fact that S8.591 of counterfeit gold, silver and copper coins was made against 822,108 counterfeit paper money.- Amonpr the contraband prop erty seized were imitations of the ob ligations, securities and coins of the United States "painted in oil and wa ter colors, photographed. lithogTapned, printed on paper, and struck and stamped in . metal." The ex-chief ex presses . the hope that, as . the later amendments to the laws prohibiting such imitations, for advertising or other purposes, become more generally known their issue will cease. Mr. JDruinmond recommends the present congress to pass an amend ment to existing- laws preventing 'the making or issuing of private scrip' or metal tokens in denominations of less than So in payment of debts. The amendment recommended prohibits the issuing of said notes containing the words "pay in trade," "in goods," or "in merchandise," or any other ex pression intended to convey the mean ing that the value will be furnished the liolder in lieu of the lawful money f- the United States. The penalty is fixed at 8500, or six months' imprison ment, or both. This .bill was read twice in the last congress and referred to the -judiciary committee. The cur rency stringency last summer and au tumn brought into use a considerable quantity of such tokens, many of which were prohibited under the law as it now stands.. The proposed amendment extends the scope of the statute. The ex-chief makes" another impor tant recommendation that the statute of limitations which now baTS the pros ecution of national bank officers after the lapse of three years from the time of alleged offenses committed be ex tended to five years. The present three years' limitation, his investigation has disclosed, is too short a period, as in a number of instances frauds on national banks were found to have been com mitted many years before discovery. Mr. Drummond sagaciously observes that the longer the period the-statute of limitations has to run the more diffi cult will it be for a bank official to con ceal his crime. - The present congress is also asked to amend the law requiring national bank officers to stamp all counterfeit notes as such. There is a law requiring this, but as no .penalty is named for the failure to carry out its provision it is not enforceable, although partially ob-, served. This amendment makes the failure to brand such notes punishable by a fine of $500. The retiring chief also repeats the recommendation made often to former congresses that an appropriation be made as a sanitary measure, as well as to make counter feiting more difficult, for retiring from circulation worn and soiled notes. Mr. Drummond asserts that his twenty-two years' experience ' in hunting counter feiters has taught him that anything which gives a note a soiled or worn ap pearance is a great and effective help to the counterfeiter.- V Domestic U of Dynamite. ' At Vilna, Bussia, recently,Ivan Klak witz, at the third course of a dinner at which sat his Wife, his mother-in-law, his two daughters and a son, as well as a neighbor and his neighbor's tvife, announced that he had prepared a special dish to which he wanted all to drink a toast. He then brought in a large dish, covered, and placing it on the table he lifted his glass and shouted: "To our next meeting!" The "Special dish" was a dynamite bomb. Everyone in the room -was instantly killed . except the youngest daughter and the servant, who both died shortly after, and the walls of the room were partly blown out. Effect of "Blind-PlK" Brink. The term "blind pig" is colloquially used in the middle west to designate an unlicensed saloon. . One of 'these was recently discovered by a farmer living on a bluff, who was boring for water. ; After some days .work the drill dropped into a cavity and a suc tion pump promptly brought up a fluid which inspired all who - drank with mingled feelings. Only after the hired man had eloped with the farmer's wife and his son had marred the old man's, beauty with ' a f our-tined fork was it discovered that the drill had tapped a hogshead of gin stored in a cave in the side of the bluff. A GhoulUn Hasnerr. In Brussels there is a restaurant en titled the Caf e de la Mort, the walls of the subterranean chamber being hung with paintings of skulls, skeletons and crossboneB, the chairs are stools,-the tables coffins and the beverage, which costs six cents a glass, is called "mi crobes." A performance takes place nightly in an adjoining vault. On the black curtain rising a man is disclosed standing upright in a coffin. - As the assemblage watches, his white bones are gradually seen to shine forth through his clothes until he becomes a grizzly skeleton. A. death certificate is then presented to the principal actor in this optical illusion and the perform ance closes. ; - - . ," -of" Mothers, and especially nursing moth ers, need the strengthening support and help that comes with Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription.
