a SUPPOSED Confidence Man.

The E.tpress last evening contains a
long, sensational account of DR.. ORA
per's operations, whom it processes to
have learned, is a confidence man of
the largest proportions. That paper
very unkindly, in view of the facts,
says:
1--WE even learn that Newark pa
per accepted the Identification as true,
and then went on to give long list of
friends who would be glad to hear of
his being the possessor of a couple of
hundred thousand dollars; for then,
and in that event, he might be enabled
TO cleaf up his name which had been
badly furnished by the character of
the obligations he had incurred there
and by the clandestine manner of his
departure. A copy of this paper (Which
would have served as warning to this
community was sent to the HERALD,
but no further notice was taken OF it
than to carefully put it away where it
could never again be found.'
A former employee of the HERALD
did get hold in some manner of slip
of some eastern paper, making a
slight insinuation against the Doctor
integrity, but in view of the fact that
he came here with the very cordial en-
dorsement Of the extremely accurate
and reliable editor of the Express,
who generously devoted a column or
two of that paper to introducing him
to our citizens, we did not feel justi-
fled in exposing him upon such slight
grounds.

Financial Theories.

A Committee of the New York Pro-
duce Exchange, in a report concern
ing national finances, among other
things, makes this recommendation:
We held that the U. S. Treasurer
should be empowered to receive from
any person or corporation, legal ten
ders in sums of one or more thousands,
for one or more months, issuing GER
tificates therefor to draw 3 65-lO0 per
cent. interest per annum, provided the
issue of such certificates shall at no
time exceed forty millions of dollars
Also, that the L. S. Treasurer should
issue to any person or corporation legal
tenders in sums of one or more thou
sands, for one, two or three months, at
! 3O-10O per cent. interest per annum,
on pledge of any bonds of the United
states to the extent of ninety cents of
legal tender for each dollar in bonds
pledged, the whole amount of such Is
sue not to exceed the forty-four mill
lions of reserve. After specie pay
ments have been resumed, such privi-
lege shall be extended only when the
amount of gold in the United States
Treasury exceeds one-half the amount
of outstanding legal tenders.
This is faint approach toward
adopting the policy of issuing bonds
interchangeable for treasury notes,
which has been advocated by this pa
per. To do any good, it seems to us
necessary that the entire National cur
rency should be placed on that basis,
but it is probably as much as we can
expect, to find the theory adopted by
niecpmeal

The New Chief Justice.

\ few facts IN relations TO our pres
ent Chief Justice, Morrison r. Waite,
may not be considered out of place, in
asmuch as he is, comparatively speak
ing, an unknown man in public life.
He was born in Lyme, Connecticut,
November Goth, 1916, and is conse-
quently now in his fifty-eighth year.
Though not so learned or so eminent
in the legal profession as B. r. Curtis
and Caleb Cushing, of Massachusetts,,
or some of the profession of New York.
yet he may be considered a born law
yer, his father, Henry NJ. Waite,
having been one of the Judges of the
Supreme Court of Errors of Connecti-
cut, and afterwards Chief Justice. He
graduated from Yale in 1887, and, after
studying law one year in his fathers
office, he removed to Maumee City,
Lucas County, Ohio, in 1888, and con-
tinued to practice there till 1850,
when he changed his residence
to Toledo, Ohio, where now lives.
The local papers of Ohio speak
highly of his legal qualifications,
and their estimate of his ability
stands confirmed by his appoint
ment as one of the distinguished oun-
sci for the Government in the cele-
brated Geneva arbitration. He is said
to possess in an eminent degree those
peculiar qualities which fit him for
such position as that to which he has
been so lately elevated. The Cleve-
land Herald, which may be supposed
to know him well from many years
acquaintance with his standing in the
profession, remarks that he is distin-
guished for possessing "a thorough
knowledge of the law in all its length
and depth; wide breadth of view;
mind capable of grasping all the mi
mute details affecting in any way a
legal question, as we'll as the leading
points, that approaches the considera-
ton of question with absolute free
dom from personal or partisan bias, that
could, in the slightest degree, warp
his Judgment; an absorbing devotion
to his profession; reverence for law
which is not mere slavlsh worship
of forms and technicalities, but an in
telligent appreciation of the great
principles Of truth and right underly-
ing the whole fabric of civilized legis-
latiOn." This is a high Endorsement
of the man and the lawyer and if he
possesses these characteristics even in
modified degree, he may be regarded
as one who will do no discredit to the
position which was once occupied by
u Marshall and a Chase. He is now
President of the Ohio Constitutional
Convention. He has, as a general
thing, avoided the turmoils and excite
ment of political life, and this fact will
work him no injury in the estimation
of the people of the United States.
His name, however, has been men,
toned in connection with the office of
United States Senator, but he has
never exhibited any particular aspira-
tions for political elevation. -[Sac.

Railroad Legislation.

Several important bills will soon be
reported in Congress for the regula-
ton of the Pacific railroads. Luttrell
proposes to have them pay the interest
due the Government; Wilson, of Indi-
ana, wants uniform rates for freight
and passages on the Union Pacific and
all its branches, and Grouse, of Ne
braska, figures for State taxation OF
railroad lands. The probabilities are
that Congress will seek to attain all
these ends by some means or other.

ing the ground that everything has
gone right in its educational course, it
would be we'll to invite the Professor
of Agriculture to do likewise. We
think that Professor Carr would be
able to show the Assembly that Presi-

with facts. 1t is notorious that the

c., gives announcement OF The sud-

last Saturday week at their resi-

details further than the fact that
Chang was paralyzed last fall, since
which time he had been fretful, very
much debilitated and strongly adj
dicted to drink as means Of alevi>
ating his suiierings. He had been
quite feeble for several days. indeed
SO much so as to conhnc both TO
bed but their illness was not so
great MS to cause any anticipation of
the catastrophe that was to follow.
On Friday night they retired to bed
rs usual, but during the night Chang
became worse, and expired sudden.
ly about 1 o'clock Saturday morn
ing.
As soon as it was discovered that
Chang was dead, Eng became so
terribly shocked that be raved wild
~ for awhile, AT times exhibiting
signs OF great mental alteration. -
This attack was followed by what
seemed TO be a deadly stupor. In
Two hours, it is supposed, from the
death of Chang, Eng breathed his
last.
