BOGUS TAX REcEIpTs--A Practical Ex-
AMPLE or REFORM. "A great sensation
has been made in Philadelphia by the dis
covery on Saturday night of an attempt by
the Democratic leaders to flood the city and
State with an immense number of fraudulent
tax receipts, which were to be voted on at the
election Tuesday. The suspicious of Chair
man Kneass, of the Republican City Commit
tee, that an enormus fraud was about to be
pcrpetrated, led him to employ detective Off
GERS to ascertain the facts These officers set
a watch on certain parties, and on Saturday
evening Samuel Josephs well known Demo-
GRAFT of the Fourth Ward, was observed car
rying two heavy bundles into the patty head
quarters on Walnut street. Soon afterward
the same two bundles were brought out by
Henry Marcus, Democratic Councilman and
treasurer of the Democratic City Committee.
Marcus entered the carriage and told the
driver TO take him to Fifth and Locust streets,
where is printing Office owned partly by
David A. Maggie, Democratic Senator from
the city. Another man, believed to be George
MCGOWAN, Chairman of the Democratic City
Committee, also got into the carriage The
vehicle was soon overtaken and stopped by
the police, who arrested Marcus, the other
man escaping through the door on the oppo-
site side. The bundles were found to contain
peculiar kind of paper, used by the Receiver
pirate water mark. The design of the parties
concerned was to have counterfeit receipts
on this paper, which were to be filled up af-
/ forwards with the names fradulently put upon
the registry lists. 1t was found that the lead
ers in this fraud had endeavored to procure
thd paper of various dealers in the city, with
out success, aud that it was at last obtained
through the agency of Tiden's political bu-
reau, in Liberty street, New York. It was
traced from the bureau to ashOtel on Court
landt street. and thence by private hands to
Philadelphia. There was enough of it to
furnish $4,000 false receipts, number suffi-
cient to carry the State for "Tilden and re-
form " il the corresponding votes could have
have been gotten into the ballot boxes. Mar
Gus, Josephs and MCGOWAN have all been ar
rested and held in heavy bail for trial. They
were identified at the hearing by the detectives
aud the hack driver, and thus the connection
of the two principal officers of the Democrat
ic City Committee with the proposed fraud
was fully established.

THE POLITICAL SITuATIoN.-The registra-
ton in the city Of New York has been closed,
the ronnd number registered being 1873, 900 less
by 1900 than the Democrats expected. OF
the increased vote in the city which is IN in
crease over 1879 of $4,000, the Republicans
claim about three-eightes. A part of the in
crease is also due to the annexation of II part
Of Westchester county, SO that the registra-
ton, though the largest ever known, does
not seem to be so excessive as to justify be-
lief in any successful system of fraud This
latter has been prevented by the new plan of
Supervisors Of Election and Marshals. Thou
sands of frauds havo been detected and thou
sands more prevented by, this supervision.
Tho average repeater is to use to n favorite
Democratic phrase, intimdated." The count
now is that the Republicans will poll 65, 700
votes in the city of New York, aud that the
Democratic majority there cannot be over
40, coo In that case the country districts will
carry the State for the Republicans by 10000
or %, 600.
The effect upon the business vote of the
country of the two manifestoes issued on
Monday by the great financiers of New York,
cannot fail to be broad and deep. Here are
Democrats like John Jacob Astor, Moses Tay-
lor and for the first time in a long life, James
Lenox, signing their names to an appeal in be-
half of Hayes and Wheeler. They quote
August Belmont and fatty contradict his as
sertion that the election of 1ilden would not
affect the national credit. They issue an APP
peal to the people Of the United States which
is singuarly direct in its statement of the
vast decrease in the national debt and its in
terest account under eleven years of Republi-
can control. Their letters are the voice of
commerce cryiss aloud to the nation. They
explain that what Tilden calls reform is in
reality revolution, an entire subversal Of thu
settled policy of the country, a rcopening of
q thousand claims from the South and the as
sessment upon the North Of damages to be
paid the South for every foot of land upon
which Union soldier fought or fell
Such is the situation in New York, .brighter
than at any hour in all the long campaign.
But there are other and local considerations.
The Tammany and anti-Tammany people
have split, and Tilden is said to be suspicious
Tammany, believing that 1t win sell him out
for local Offices.

A TIME-IIoNoRED SPEcIFIc.-The long and
successful career of DR.. WIsHART's PINE
TREE TAR CORDIAL, as contrasted with the
speedy collapse of nostrums devoid of efficacy
which have from time to time been pulled in
to n brief notoriety during the twenty odd
years that this celebrated medicine has been
sold, affords a proof that the. American pub
lie continue to repose it confidence in deserv-
ing articles only. The PINE TREE TAR Cor
DIAL has long been recognized as the leading
specific for Consumption, Bronchitis, Coughs,
Colds, Asthma, Diptheria, aud all other dis
eases of the breathing organs. 1t is, more
over, a certain, speedy, and safe botanic
remedy for Dyspepsia, Liver Disorders, Scro-
fulous Affections, Urinary Troubles, Gravel,
Dropsy, Debility, Constipation, and Female
Complaints. Constantly accommodating evil
dence of an unimpeachable character estab-
fishes the fact that it not only entirely eradi-
Gates the diseases to which it is adapted, but
also that its action is remarkably prompt and
thorough. The crucial test of experience has
demonstrated its reliability in every particu-
lar. Sold by all druggists. Principal depot

Centennial Commission and Board of Finance.
The dinner will be entirely of an official char
acter, and the number of guests will be limit
ed TO about two hundred. A grand display
of fire works is announced for the same even
ing at Georges Hill.
1t is suggested that one reason why so lit
tie attention is paid by Democrats to the seri-
GUS charges against Mr. Tilden is that he does
not embody the party's principles, and is real
ly only a figure head. That is doubtless true.

With such ticket the Democrats could

"The two of them y represent all there is of
the Democratic party, mentally and physical
ly.
Mr.. August Belmont, who now presumes
to contradict the statement of the New York
Eoeniag Post that American credit abroad
would be seriously impaired by the election of
Mr.. Tilden, is not a man whose word is to be
relied upon. Mr.. Belmont now supports Mr..
| Tilden. Last May, this same Mr.. Belmont
said Mr.. Tilden had been " COUNSEL FOR ALL
| THE BRoKEN-DowN CORPORATIONS WITH
WHICH New York HAS BEEN AFFLICTED FOR
LONG TERN OF YEARS, AND OUT OF THEM
He HAS NOT COME WITH CLEAN
HANDS," If Mr.. Belmont cheerfully sup
porss man with such record for President,
it is likely he would cbecrfuly say anything
lie chose to say about the national credit,
without regard to the truth.

Sunshine VS.. Dollars.


Is it worth while to take all the sun
shine out of life for the sake of a few
miserable dollars? Meat and groceries
and coal and clothing and necessaries are
not all OF life. If we restrict ourselves to
these, and slut ourbooks, music, and pic
lures, and the hundred things that ci;;..ti-
vate the aesthetic side of cur nature, We
shall be economical at the cost of draw
ing upon our moral and intellectual ma
ture. And after we have done this for a
long series of years, and so reached mid
die age with fair balance i'm the bank,
we shall then find ourselves untitled to
enjoy the pleasures that money will buy.
We shall have kept one dusty road so long
that when We finally turn aside in the
groves and by the broOkSide, our eyes
will be in no condition to see the beauties
around us. Is it not better to give some
brightness and color to our daily lives,
even if by so doing we fail to increase our
hOarded savings quite as rapidly as we
otherwise might? Is economy quite
worth the sacratice of everything that
makes life other than dull and dismal
drudgery? Awise expenditure of money
for the good things Of life is really the
best economy.

is probable that with all these provisions
it will be some. time before the bridges

which is somewhat doubtful. there are
few companies which would wish to

the unimpedcd navigation of the lakes is
of more benefit to the state, than the

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, JANUARY %, 1879.
The Weather we Are to Have.

A rival of Prof. Tice has appeared in
the person of an aged citizen of German
birth, named Henry Kroeger. Mr.. Kroe-
ger resides in Wisconsin and has lived in
the west ffty-one years. He can neither
read nor write, but can observe things
and put them together, and has meme
ry like an encyclopedia. After running
over the past fifty-one years with his
minds eye, Mr.. Kroeger in September
last glanced into the future and prophe-
sled thus: '.After this next moon shows
the last bit of its face, we shall have the
most beautiful autumn we have had for
many years. Early in November there
will besOme cold days, but it will be mild
and pleasant during the most Of the
month and until the Goth of December,
when the streams will freeze; but only a
thin sheet of ice will be formed. In JAM
uary we shall have the finest Indian sum-
mer we have had since 1856. and there
will be only few cold days. During the
winter there will be more rain than snow,
and little or no sleighing. There will be
few cold days in February. March will
be dry, cloudy and warm. The weather
in April will be variable, cold and warm
alternating. In May it will be dry, and
gardeners will find it necessary to water
their plants" Mr.. Groeger, who seems
to take true German interest in beer, adj
vises brewers to lay i'm ice at the first
opportunity, or they may have to send to
Alaska for supplies.

Death of Representative Garfield,

The Grand Rapids Democrat announces
the death of Samuel M. Garfield at his
home in Grand Rapids township OH Sum
day last. He had been sick for more
than year. Indeed, it was with great
difficulty that he attended to his duties
in the House of Representative last win
ter. Mr.. Garfield was a leading farmer,
had been Supervisor of his township for
several years, and Representative since
1871. He was man of sound judgment,
perfect integrity, and quiet, gentlemanly
.demeanor. In politics he was Repub-
lican, and in religious belief Univer-
salist. His death is the fifth which has
befallen the House since their election
Messrs. Yeckley, of Cass County; Brown,
of Berrien; Hollon, OF Saginaw; and
Berk, of St. Clair, having preceded him
to the unseen world. His son, c. w.

. A set of bills of the old .'wild cat bank
of Battle Greek i'm this state, inclading
81, 50, So, $5, $40, and $40, came into our
possession recently. They are good-lOOk-
ing for the time when they were issued
1888, but bear no resemblance to green
backs. They are thickly adorned with
national and state coats of arms, like
nesses of distinguished men, agricultural
and railroad scenes, and beautiful women,
clothed in a style which would hardly
answer, even in this mild winter weather.

this wild cut bank was i'm the habit Of
leaving the banking Office about the time
when the stage coach was due. and re-
manning away until advised that the pas
sengers who came in the stage had de-
parted with it. Then he would return
and reopen the bank for business, assured
that 10 bills would be presented for re-
demptiOn or exchange. This bank hal a
nominal capital of 100000, and its bills
bear the double inscription of Michigan

and private property hoiden;" yet there
is no evidence in the state documents
that it ever owned a dollar of specie. The

for the present day would be cured Of
their folly if they could be plucked by
rag promises as the early pioneers Of
Michigan were.

LAUNDERING Further South.


The lumbermen south of us are feel
ing very much discouraged for the want
of snow. Many of them have their en-
tire crop skidded and as yet not a log
hauled, and still very little prospect for
snow. In many cases it will require
seventy or more days of sleighing to get
the entire crop to the streams. This
would look as though many logs would
not be got in at all, still should there
come run of snow, as in all probability
there will, every available team will be
put to hauling. In the streets of Grand
Rapids and many other places in the
southern limits of numbering operations
posters are thickly distributed advertis-
ing for teams to commence work at .the
first snow" Although our winter has
not been very favorable, still we do not
think our lumbermen should complain
very much, for they. are great deal bet
ter off than their neighbors.

The Extent of the Snow Area.


The snow storm of this week reached
only very short distance south of us in
quantity sufficient to make sleighing, al
though there was light fall of snow as
far soath as Grand Rapids. Advices from
Rogers City give us the information that
there is very little snow along the shore,
although back in the woods there is suf-
ficient to do some business. At Alpena
there is about an inch of snow, not
enough for sleighing, and the operator
states that this is about the quantity in
the Saginaw region. The snow area is
therefore very small, and mostly confined
to that section of the state which has an
outlet at this place. There is not very
much sleighing here, but, it is the best
that any numbering region in the state
can boast of.

A sudden Move.

The tenants of the Marine City House
had the appearance of having moving
panic Friday morning. Their were sew
eral families occupying the house, and
each seemed to be vieing with the other
to see which should get their goods out
first. The township treasurer caused all
the trouble. The taxes on the property
have not been paid, and Mr. Todd noti-
fed the tenants that if they were not
paid by Monday that he should sieze any
personal property found on the prem
ises to satisfy the taxes. Hence the sud-
den moving out.
