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.'' - -

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. ; - -
