ROGUES' GALLERY PORTRAIT
1.601.

Under the above head the New
York Daily Graphic says; The por-
trait numbered I,60l in the Rogues'
Gallery of the New York Police De-
partment is that of q man who has
sunk so low in the social scale that
there is scarcely any possibility of
going single step lower. Twenty
one years ago this very month of
April, 1882 he hoisted the palmetto
flag of South Carolina over the ruins
OF Fort Sumter, having been deputed
to that work by Governor Pickets,
whose private secretary he then was.
He had shortly before graduated with
high honors from college; his father
wds Il both a man of wealth and So
cial distinction, and Il trusted mem
Der of the Judiciary Of the ire-eating
State; and MS future promised to be
an exceptionally brilliant one. He
served throughout the war in the
Confederate arms, as also did his
father, when the war was over they
both mounted to positions Of in
huence by accepting the reconstruc-
ton acts and the new order of things
which they signified
The father became Chief Justice
OF the South Carolina Supreme Court
in which Office he died The son
became a member of the Legislature
the Speaker of the House, and sub
sequently Governor of the State.
He had most winsome manner and
persuasive tongne, and they stood
him III good stead. He was utterly
without conscious, however, and in
the thieving that made the so-called
.'carpet-bag government by-word
everywhere he was the chief plunder-
er. Stealing was easy under the cir
cumstances, but what was readily
gotten in this mans case as readily
vanished. His debaucheries became
notorious, and after awhile they even
disgusted those who had put him in
power. and he was cast out from
their midst and his name branded with
all infamy.
There was no rest for him in South
Carolina after this and he came to
New York City. Here his career
for several years past has been I'M
speakably vile, but it was not until
MS other means of obtaining money
failed him that he began the petty
swindlipg operations ttat finally
landed him in the Tombs, put his
portrait where it now is, and that
viii send him TO the penitentiary for
some years. The name of this man
is Franklin J. Moses.

A aREAr strike was inauRusated Il
Pittsburg last Friday. 10000 men
and boys quit work. The strike clos.
ed nearly all the work shops in and
around the city. The railroads lead
ing out from such a focal point OF
manufactures are about the first to
feel the loss in the reduction of freight
and consequently they had more
hands than they could employ and
at one stroke discharged 100 men.
Two hundred and fifty men in the
iron works at Louisville Ky, struck.
Hod carriers and building laborers
at Harrisburg for an advance of 25
cents day. They have been getting
S1.75 per day.
Two thousand iron workers struck
at Milwaukee.
An exception to all the strikes last
Friday, was found in the actions of
several hundred coal miners going to
work in the Clearfeld mines.
The movement of the Independents
brought Senator j. d. Cameron to
Philadelphia, few days ago to con-
fer with friends with regard to what
should be done, now that number
of the best class of Republicans are
in revolt against certain political
methods. 1t is reported that the
Senator called a number of the man.
ufacturers of the city of brotherly
love, and threatened, that if they do
not come up to the support of the
Harrisburg Republican ticket that he
will as Senator while his term lasts
do nothing in favor of a protective
tariff. That if they do not support
the ticket that he favors he will op-
pose such tariff measures as hereto
fore have been considered best for
the interest of the manufacturing in
terest. 1t is hoped that the Senator
expressedno slcha threat. Intimate
friends of his, say, be said no such
thing Il is of interest to the peo-
people of this Commonwealth to
know as to whether one of its SEN

threat. It viii not be many days

be charged with such q statement if
he never said it. II he delivered the
