Sham.

A young married couple wishing to
exchange some of their duplicate we'd
ding gifts, took piece of silver to the
well known firm whose name adorned the
box, and asked for its value in something
else. Imagine their surprise when the
clerk told them that the article was only
plated and probably came from the dollar
store; that they were often called upon to
sell boxes for just slch purposes, and
there was no redress.

Nearly all of the employees of the Ma

males, says Washington letter. There

Mr.. Rodgers, the chief of the division
asked me to take a stroll with him
through the workshop, and found the
trip exceedingly interesting The en-
ployes are in long room and are separa-
ted from each other by something like
wire cages-a woman and sometimes two
in each clge. Nearly all of them were
at work busily counting money. They
do nothing but count from 9 in the
morning until in the afternoon, and
their hands move with rapidity and
nimbleness seldom acquired by the most
expert bank clerks. AS we walked
through the rooms where millions of ma
tional bank notes are counted every week
l noticed that nearly all the occupants
looked tired and had listless look, al
though it was only about 2 In the after
noon. | also noticed number of pretty
young girls and some who were not
pretty and not girls, who had sores on
several also who had sores on their faces
and heads, | asked Mr.. Rodgers If the
cause of these eruptions was to be found
in the work upon which the countesses"
we've engaged. He replied: 1t is.
Very few, who spend any considerable
time in counting money, escape the
sores. They generally appear first
on the hands, but frequently
they break out on the head and some
times the eyes are affected. We can do
nothing to prevent this All the ladies
take the greatest care of themselves in
their work, but sooner or later they are
afflicted with sores. The direct cause of
the sores is the arsenic employed In the
manufacture of the money. 1t the skin
is the least abraded and the arsenic gets
under the flesh a sore will appear the
next morning. The habit that every one
has of putting the hand to the head and
face is the way the arsenic poisoning Is
carried to those portions of the body.
See here, said Mr.. Rodgers, stopping
by the side of young lady and picking
up glass vessel containing sponge;
"this sponge is wet and is used to
moisten the fingers while counting the
money. You see how black 1t Is. That's
arsenic. Every morning new piece OF
sponge is placed on the desk of each en-
ploye, but before the day is over 1t is as
black as this. / have known half
dozen cases where ladies have been COM
PEELED to resign their positions. There
are three ladies who were here six years
before they were afflicted with sores.
About three months ago they were so
visited by them that they had to quit
work. They have been away ever since,
and the physicians certificate IA each
case SAYS that their blood is poisoned
with arsenic. But continued Mr..
Rodgers. with smile. although there
is danger in the work there Is no diffi-
Guilty ii filing all vacancies that occur.
These ladies get SO a month.

The Silent Vote Fallaov.

When II becomes plain that the as
certained sentiment Of the people is
against a certain party, 1t draws COM
fort from the assertion that the "silent
vote" Is all right. "'rhe opposition is
noisy and demonstrative, but the 81
lent vote, which does not proclaim it.
self from the tops OF towers, is all
right, aud will make itself felt on cleo
ton day" And they are satisfied to
wait for the uprising of the silent
vote
Such an assertion involves para
dox. The silent vote is an unknown
quantity, which cannot be claimed for
one side more than for another. Its
essential quality of silence prevents
any knowledge as to its drift, and the
ballot-box alone can show how it
stands. So to say, as is often said, that
this silent vote is all tending one way
is to make the sophistical assertion
that an unknown and unknowable
thing is known to he in favor of such
party.
How silly, then, to say that the West
is really for the lease law but that the
clamor of the anti-lease party has mis-
led sentiment elsewhere to believe that
it is in large majority. Those who
say that the silent vote OF the West
will be given for the lease law are
guilty of the absurdlty OF stating as n
fact something that from its very es-
sence cannot be known. The only re-
liable estimate that can be formed OF
sentiment in the West must be taken
from the voice of the people and that
is against the lease.

New York, Gov. Waller of Connecu-

They have given accounts Of their

charge of New York, has prospered
wonderfully, insomuch that he has
been rewarded with still greater
trusts. The second has done well,
and has been asked TO assume the
same charge for another term. The
third was failure. When an account
Of his stewardship was demanded he

with men whose Democracy has been

and with others who are Democrats for
revenue only TO criticlse and question
the loyalty of THE GAZETTE TO Demo-
cratic principles and methods, but this
does not deter THE GAZETTE from
preaching Democracy as we under
stand It, nor from pointing out to the
party its mistakes and dangers. The
best friend is the one who has the
courage to do this, and THE GAZETTE
suggests to the Democratic nominees
to accept the invitation Of the Clipper
an6 go West. The lease law may he
good or bad-it may be for the best or
the worst; but the patent fact is, the
people of the West are Immediately
interested in the laws relating
TO the disposition of the public
lands, and it will not do to
say that no true Democrat will scratch
his party ticket If the man who
scratches a Democratic ticket is Re
publican, as some men so glibly assert,
then man who scratches Republic
can ticket is a Democrat. If this were
true, Harper's Weekly, the New York
Times and other Northern publications
are Democratic iournals-which is not
true. The people of the West are dis
gruntled and have invited the Demo-
cratic nominees for state offices to
visit them. THE GAZETTE, as a Dem
ocratic journal and as a representative
of Western sentiment, begs the nomi'
nees to accept the Invitation. 1t is a
public as we'll as a Democratic duty
and THE GAZETTE would be recreant
to its trust if 1t failed to urge this ac-
ceptance.

\ DEspERADo DEAD.


FORT SMITH, ARK, Sept. e.
Club Moore, the noted Indian despe-
RADIO, murderer and horse thief whom
the marshals had to shoot to arrest,
died here to-day. He was shot in the
thigh six weeks ago, and with the
bones of his hip and thigh crushed
and his Il sh rotting, he was hauled
300 miles in wagon over rough roads
to Fort Smith. Blood poisoning had
set in, and the United States Jail
physician decided to amputate Moore's
leg as a last resort. The fleshy part of
the leg was entirely devoured by mag
gots, and over a quart of maggots
were taken from the wound. The un-
fortunate man bore his suffering
stanchly, but expired on the table
while his leg was being amputated.
Club Moore was charged with muir
der, and has led a chequered career
in the Indian territory.

afternoon the body of German about
forty-fve years old named John FL
linger was found sitting upright in
the sand hills at the foot of Nineteenth
street, near the beach. A bullet. hole
through his body and an empty pistol
in his hand told the story of despond-
ency and suicide. From every indica-
ton the body had been thus exposed
for five days, but had escaped observa-
ton. From a notebook in the pocket
q few lines were with difficulty de-
ciphered, indicating that the probable
cause of the suicide was disappoint-
ment in love. Mr.. Ellinger had re-
sided in Galveston a short time. The
coroner held an inquest and the YER
diet was rendered in accordance with
the above facts.

secure relief from the present situa-

some other means, the woolgrowing
industry in that state will no doubt

wool growers going to use to protect
themselves against those other sec

vantageously situated as to proitably
raise wool ut prices that Ohio cannot
compete with? The situation indeed
