Another Apology for Fraud.

The substitute brokers' organ in this city
mas by some mysterious process of reasoning
arrived at the conclusion that it is called upon
by our criticism of Mr.. Farwell's speech to de-
TEND Mr.. Farwell himself. Is Mr.. Farweil
then, identified with the men whose dishon-
est and unpatriotic acts we denounced? If
so, he is indebted to his organ and not to us
for an introduction to the public as swindler.
We studiously avoided any further censure of
him than was implied in the declaration that
he had attempted to palm off as an explana-
ton of the bounty frauds what was in fact no
explanation at all, and we defy cur assaiant
to point to word in our article of Monday to
sustain its needless charge that the PRESS
mad made "vicious attack" Mr. Farwell
and his satellites wished the people of Maine
10 oeiieve that the frauds mentioned by the
Equalization Commissioners were myths.
We wished them to see that no proof to that
effect had been adduced. We proved it bya
falr and honest examination of Mr.. Farwelps
speech. The Advertiser admits all that we
alleged when it says that the speech threw
"no new light upon the subject" of the paper
credits. The Grafton of the Augusta Repre-
sentative, whatever may have been its ute
ror purpose, does not appear to be, either in
form or spirit, vindication of himself but of
the vermin that fattened on the ruin OF their
country.
But if we must examine the case of Mr..
Farwell himself nolens uolens, we prefer to
begin with the consideration of his organs
rather petulant and bad tempered vindcation.
1t says that the Equalization Commissioners
expressed no doubt of the substantial correct.
ness OF Mr.. FarwelPs statement of his con-
nection with the naval credits-"a very differ
ent article from paper credits" it adds with
astonishing sagacity. Now as matter of
fact the commissioners do not mention Mr..
Farwell at all, unless be is the lncky gentle
man alluded to as the State beneficiary who,
IKE Doeberry, chad had his losses" and was
commissioned to levy tribute on the munich

A WONDERFUL 1NvENTOR.-A wonderful
inventor-Mr. Seth Boyden-died on Thurs
day at Vaudeville, N. J. The deceased was
in Newark in 1876 In 1916 he invented a
novel machine for splitting leather which has
been SO improved that hide may be split into
several layers. Another man would have
made a fortune from the invention, but Boy
denis restless mind always abandoned ma
chine as soon as it was success. The manu-
facture Of "patent leather" was begun by him
in 1919, and the business which he then started
now forms one OF the most important of the
business enterprises of Newark. He made the
first specimens of malleable iron in 1923, and
continued its manufacture until 1881; perfected
the first locomotive with a driving rod out
side the wheel; invented the steam Cutoff"
produced the first daguerreeotype in America;
assisted Prot; Morse in working opt the thsa.s y
OF electric tefegrapny; invented the process OF
cred the method Of making Russia sheet iron.
This has always been regarded as one of the
most profound secrets Of the arts, but Mr..
Boyden plodded through it and made q good
article of Russia sheet, but at cost SO great
that it cannot compete with the imported ar
ticle. He patented hat body forming ma
chine, which is now used extensively in all hat
manufactures in the country. In his latter
years Mr.. BOyden gave his attention to agr-
culture, and many of the most celebrated des-
sriptions of strawberries were his. During all
his life this remarkable man, whose inventions
poor, but his poverty was forgotten in his gen.
ial spirits and noble lie. Up to the latest
days of his existence, the thoughts that had
accompanied him from early manhood were
still working after further discoveries, bis in
tellect as clear and his spirits as ambitious as
ever. S.
