New-York tribune., 1874-11-11


Philadelphia has at last sensation, in the
shape Of skillful forgery. Considering that
the fraud was so neatly executed that the
city officials were deceived as to their own
signatures, and the only one of the rascals
who was caught slipped out of the hands OF
his captors, it must be humliating to the ex-
pert forgers to have only realized $4,000 by
the swindle. Perhaps however, as so little
of that sort of thing is done in Philadelphia,
this will answer for beginning.
The international Typographical Union, which
sought and has undertaken the work OF pro-
viding statue or other suitable memorial
over the grave of Horace Greeley in Green
wood, makes an appeal in another column
through the Chairman of its National Com
mittee for further contributions. 1t is under
stood that the Committee have not yet suff-
cient funds to secure such statue as they
originally desired, although enough Is prOba-

and revamped for this occasion. Here endeth

At the meeting of the American Public
Health Association, yesterday, in Philadel-
| phia, Prof. Henry Hartshorne's paper on the
Excessive Infant Mortality of Cities, attracted
marked attention. A wide variety of causes
converge to produce this mortality, but 1t
could be greatly reduced by intelligent and
whole hearted effort. The first step to this
end would be to arouse public feeling on the
subject; certainly while the present death
rate among children IN our cities is shown by
statistics we need not reproach the people of
heather lands with infanticide.

If the testimony i'll court is as conflicting as
that before Coroner Woltmaun, the election
day murder case will furnish a marked instance
OF the fallibility Of evidence. A large number
OF people witnessed the shooting, but their

contradictory. The bulk of the evidence

Captain General Concha, in order to ascer-
tain what was needed for the more vigorous
prosecution of the war against the Cuban in
surgents, undertook a journey for the inspec-

weakness moro important than any to be dis
covered there might have been found without
leaving Havana, aud that is the aversion of
the volunteers to the hardships involved in
