CLEVELAND. March 15.-A very sad
case was developed before United States
Commissioner White yesterday afternoon.
The facts came out during the prelImi-
nary examination of DR.. T. H. Bingham,
of Linndale. who was under arrest ON the
charge Of passing counterfeit nickels.
He made the following statement to the
court: 81 am guilty of the otfense
charged, but was forced to do it to keep
my wife and child from starving. am a
graduate of an Eastern medical college,
and came to Linndale from Massachusetts
about year ago. l picked up some pFac-
tice, but during the winter l had almost
nothing to do. Ny means were exhaust
ed and | could not beg. Ny child became
i'll from lack of nOurishment
and L saw my wife failing
day by day. In moment of des-
peratiOn L thought 1 would make few
nlckels, and with them purchase food. |
found some lead in the house and
borrowed nickel for a pattern. 1 made
40 of them. They were so crude that
knew they would be detected, and so for
several days l kept them in the house,
not daring to try and pass them. One
day my wife felt i'll and asked for food. l
picked out three of the nickels that were
made the best and hurried to butchers
shop in the village and asked for 10 cents
worth of meat. 1t was handed TO me and
L threw down the counterfeit nickels and
ran home. L gave the meat to my wife
and child. About an hour after a man
called and said that he had been sent to
me by the butcher, who had discovered
that the money was spurious. If would
redeem the worthless money nothing
would be done. l told him that had not
one penny i'll the world, and laughed
when he talked about my redeeming them.
Some time after an officer came and took
me into custody"
There was hardly a dry eye in the court
when Bingham ceased, and the Judge wa,
visibly affected. He said that he would
be compelled to bind the prisoner over,
and did so, in the sum of 800, the lowest
bail possible. The judge then took a sum
OF money out of his pocket and gave it to
a court officer, directing him 20 take it to
the wife and child. Bingham was taken
to jail. The case is exciting much inter-
est, from The fact that Bingham is an edu-
Gated, and from all reports an honest,
man. The family will be taken care of by

SENATORIAL WARNING.
The discussion of the Central Ameri-

resolution offered last Friday by Mr..

the Senate that Barrios, President of
Guatemala, should be prevented from
carrying out his scheme of anneXing
neighboring republics. The resolution
was criticized as amounting substantially
to declaration of war, and Senator In
gals proposed an amendment to modify it
in this regard. The amendment was lost.
The Senate then adopted the resolution,
with only seven negative votes.
Mr.. Edmunds moved that the Injunction
of secrecy be removed from the resolution
and the vote upon it, but a single objec-

Those who came by the noon train were
dined at the Gulf House. After dinner
carriages were provided, and under an
escort of citizens the visitors were driven
about the city. The greater portion Of
the members, however, came by the even

this train, as was the case with the other,
the visitors were received by large COM
mttee of citizens, whose guests they
were to be during their stay in this city.
The visitors, especially those who had
visited Thomasville before, were sur
prised at the improvements that have
been made in the past year or two. Many
new residences have been built recently
by Northern and Western people, who
have chosen this beautiful city for their
winter homes as well as by those to the
manor born. The immense new hotel,
the Piney Woods, is filled with tourists
and health seekers, as are also the private
houses.

The democratic party of this state has
a wonderful capacity for laundering. 1t
did not require any unusual political
acumen to learn that the sentiment
throughout the state was favorable to an
increase of the license above the mini
mum of SO. But the democratic party,
as represented in the legislature, assum
ed that the battle cry Free whiskey"
was the shibboleth Of the party, and
fought a saloon license of 800. Moth
lug could disgust the rank and file of the
democratic party more, and it has caus-
ed such a state of feeling among the
younger men that 'high license" has be-
come a cardinal principle in their politi-
cal faith, and it is designed as rebuke
to the democrats, who during the session
of the last legislature, made it appear
that their party cared for nothing,
so much as the interest of the saloon
keeper. Democrats used the expression
free whiskey" as expressive of their
views, among themselves as joke, and
it was applied to them by republicans AS
a reproach, bat that section of the party
elected to make laws, took this disgrace
full distinction in all seriousness and
made it party motto. The result is
now apparent. There are not 80 demo
Gratis in Manitowoo county to-day under
the age of 30 years, who would not vote
for higher license than the minimum
fixed by law. And still SO strong is
what is regarded as the traditions of

ton were held tomorrow and the wise
acres who have heretofore directed rs
policy could dictate its platform, the old

laws would demand license of-say

filth and immortality through pamphlets
issued by the anti prohibition society of
Milwaukee would be the high priest, and

The prohibitionists are building wiser
than they know in abetting the policy of
the democratic party. That party is
making prohibition possible in this state
1t has never yet taken stand on the
LIQUOR question that it has not driven
Iegions from its own ranks into the pro
hibition camp. The anti prohibition
society of Milwaukee is engaged in doing
likewise. 1t has done more in this state
than 1000 St. Johns could. By all means
let the democratic party study the situa-
ton before il assumes to tie the young
men of the state to the triumphal car of
saloon keepers. There is danger, lots
of it, and any one who places his finger
on the public pulse can feel the beatiugs
