PASSING GOOD MONEY AS BAD.

Il NOrefty in Crime as PerpetTUfed by an
adept Young Scomndrel-fhe RcminSs-
cense of an En- Detective.
He was a featured, shrewd-eye
old gentleman, and he sat in one of the
Boston police stations recently, listening
attentively to a select assortment of yarns
about counterfeiters, suggested by the
newspaper mention of the rather numer-
Gus petty cases of this nature pending
before the United Sta ties district court
well, well,' he rem arked finally, with
half a sigh for the degeneracy of these
times, ''roguery isn't what it used to be. 1
can remember when it took some brains
to make good rascal. To work
off bogus half dollars, one dollars
fves and so on for the genuine thing is all
very well in its way, but what do you think
of fellow who gave away square money
as counterfeit and made little fortune
out of the business? Impossible? Oh, no.
When was detective, and that not so
many years ago, I came in contact with
just such chap. You'll find the facts of
the case in the court records. And the way
he did it was this: He first sent out to
country postmasters and others an ingeni-
ously gotten up circular, in which he
offered to supply them with remark
ably accurate counterfeit 81 bill, mere
~ as curiosity. This would be
sent to be paid for when received by a
good 81 bill, In case the receiver cared to
keep it; otherwise it was to be returned.
There were good many responses to this
circular, but the young man, instead of
sending out bad bills, inclosed genuine
ones in his letters, and also notice that
he would be pleased to supply the same at
$50 per hundred. Now, the susceptible
postmaster carefully examined the bill he
had received, showed it to his friends, and
perhaps the cashier of the town bank, and
every one of course pronounced it genu-
inc. So not few rural parties though
that 100 of them would be very handy
in hard times, and the requisite $50 was
forwarded. And that was always the
last heard of the $50. To be sure, some of
the bait money was lost, but not much.
The victims could not bring a complaint
against the swindler without eliminating
themselves, and so he 1ourisheo for some
time. But at length the United States au-
thorities got hold of the matter and ar
rested the promising young scoundrel on
an Indictment for counterfeiting. What
was his defense! Why, he merely called
attention to the fact that he had not coun-
terfeited 1T all; he had dealt only in genu-
inc bills The court could not hold him.
Subsequently, however, believe that he
was arrested aud convicted, but on an en-
tirely different Indictment"

daughter of Mr.. P. Meyst, formerly of

The court house commission undertook
to hold meeting yesterday but made a
HOPELESS failure of it. The mayor Of. st.
Paul and DR.. Day had the pictures of the
court house in prospective spread out be-
fore them in the auditors Office and with
critical and classical eyes viewed the
wilderness of columns, architraves, cor
nices and such like other things that go
with the building, and as no one of the
other commissioners came in to participate
with them in gazing upon the temple, these
two gentlemen finally folded up the pic
lures and departed faithful among the
faithless found.
Emil Nelson was arrested for bastardy.
At the time Nelson and the girl were will
ing to mako things all right by marrying,
but the parents of the girl objected, Nelson
not being son-in-law after their liking,
and the case was continued until yesterday.
Upon coming into court yesterday Nelson
and the girl were found to be in the mar
rying mood still, and so the county attor-
ney and chief of police Clipped in and
bought the license, while Judge Burr tied
the knot in his usual happy style, as "a
labor of love-" and the twain legally made
one flesh retired from the courtroom ap-
parently as happy as if no cloud had
crossed the path of their young love.

Mexican Veterans.

The soldiers who fought in Mexico won for
the United States Texas, California, and we may
add Arizona and New Mexico, comprising in all
an area of 427 ,O55, 424 acres OF this vast terri
tory there has been awarded them. providing
each one Of the 100000 soldiers has received his
land warrant, only about 100000 acres.
We insist that justice requires more benef-
cent provision for the veterans whs added so
greatly to our National wealth, and we believe
that the country can but approve of the measure
now before Congress providing pensions to ali
surviving soldiers Of the Mexican war We
shall do everything in our power to urge the
matter upon the attention of Cur lawmakers
and trust they will feel inclined to act now,
while yet some of the men whom the bill pend
ing purposes to benefit are alive

Remember.

the New York Tribune's scurrilous articles con-
cerning the Arrears of Pension Act, that it was
that paper which virtually suggested the assassi-
nation of General Grant, and which most wick
edly and without cause or mercy accused the late
President Garfield of dishonesty.
The soldiers who saved the country are now
merely receiving similar treatment to that which
the same scandalous sheet has heretofore admin
istered to almost every prominent statesman
and patriot, Republican or Democrat, who has
had to do with public affairs during the last ff-
teen or twenty years.

How to Do 1t,

A correspondent from Indiana writes us for our
opinion as to the best plan for getting an early
expression from ex-solders of their views con-
cerning proposed legislation affecting their inter
ests before Congress.
We suggest that every soldier who is opposed
to the repeal of the arrears Act" or who is in
favor Of more liberal pension laws and Of the
passage of the bill to equalize bounties, write to
of Congress without delay to that effect
The letters should be short and to the point :;
and the more of such the Senators and Members
no injustice is done the soldier and that all his
rights are accorded him.

Fees Of Examining Surgeons.

During the late Mr.. Bentley's administration
of the Pension Office, and at his instance, the fees
of examining surgeons were reduced from two to
one dollar in each case or for each examination
made.
We know something of the duties required of
this class of officers and have always felt that
even the two dollars was none too much to sat
isfy the demands of justice. One-half that
amount is unreasonably small, and, recognizing
this fact as we have done, Commissioner Dudley
has recommended that the former fee allowed be
re-established. We believe that by proper effort
an amendment of the law can be secured. and in
our endeavors to bring about such a desirable
result we trust we may have the hearty co-opera-
tion of those who are most deeply and personally
interested

A Malicious SANDER.

The New York Herald says the Arrears of PEN
sion Act was passed by Congress under the spur
of unworthy motives" that the Pension Arrears
act is "dishonest unnecessary. unpntriotic."
In answer to this we reply: When such men
as Senators Edmunds of Vermont, David Davis
of Illinois, Plumb of Kansas, Hoar of Massa-
chusetts, Ferry of Michigan, Window of Min
nesota, and ex-Senators Matthews of Ohio,
Burnside of Rhode Island, Blaine of Maine, Conk-
ling of New York, vote for measure Republi-
cans may well be satisfied that it is a just and
proper one to become law. And when such
leaders as ex-Senators Barnum Of Connecticut,
Wallace of Pennsylvania, Thurman of Ohio Ker-
nan of New York, Mcdonald of Indiana, and Cor
don of Georgia. and such well l-known party men
as Senators Mcpherson of New Jersey, Voorhees,
of Indiana, Butler of South Carolina, Hill of
Georgia. and Jones of Florida, approve of the ac-
tion of their brethren of the opposition, Demo-
Gratis may rest assured that the matter involves
no question of partisanship.
We think the Herald ought to apologize to the
gentlemen whom we have named for the base
ISLANDERS it has hurled against their regulations.
But then we have no hopes of its doing so, for
the Herald, in addition to being common liar,
has no sense of the proprieties of life.
