CAUGHT RED-HANDED.
An Alleged Travelling Agent Arrested for
Passing Counterfeit Money.

Passing Counterfeit Money.
Under the above caption, the following
appears in Dyes Government Counterfeit De
tector for January 1886:
DAVENPORT (Iowa), December 9th. -
Within the past ten days five counterfeiters
have been arrested in this CITY. The first
arrests were George Haikes and Wilbur
Norris about ten days ago. The next arrest
was made last evening. The prisoner ar
rested claims to be l.. ]. Pratt, travelling
agent for counterfeit detector published
in New y ork. He passed off in this city
$50 and two $40 greenbacks in different
places In his pocket-book was found
81 DDS in counterfeit money When ar
rested he was aboard the Kansas CITY train
with the intention of going to Kansas CITY.
Pratt denies the accusations against him,
and says it is case of mistaken Identity
[St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The aforementioned Pratt is the agent
for the so-called Emitted States Treasury C0un-
tertea DetectOr. of New York city, and must
be the same party who was with William
Z. Phelan when 1t was alleged that coun-
terfeit $50 note was passed on a Mr.. Weber
of Boston, Mass, in 1881, at which time
both Phelan and Pratt were acting as agents
of Uaderaoood's Counterfeit Detect0r. of New
York; though when arrested. in 1882, for
this offense, Phelan was working for Dues.
One charge made by Mr.. Weber was used
by United States Secret Service Agent to
get Phelan extradited from Canada in 1888,
but the charge was afterwards changed and
Phelan was tried in Boston in November,
1883 for the passing of the note, which oc-
Cured on March 16, 1881, between the hour
OF D and p. NJ. He was convicted upon the
evidence of said Weber and Pratt, though
Phelan denied the CHARGE and prnva1 or,
allbl, and the evidence in the case in ref
erence to the description of the person who
passed the bill did not agree with Phelan'.
person and appearance; bnt Pratt claimed
that when at Chicago a long time after the
bill was passed, Phelan admitted to him
that he passed the bill, all of which was
contradicted at the trial, and the effort
made to show that the whole matter was
but conspiracy to put the man where he
could be of no more opposition to his
rivals. Since his unjust Imprisonment at
F1tchburg, his friends have obtained Aft
davits showing him to have been in New
York City working for said Underwoods
reflector on the day and about the time
the note was passed, as well as on the day
before and after. The affidavits OBJ
tanned were from Mr.. Underwood and
others, and upon such proofs Phelan's
pardon has been asked for from the De-
partment of Justice, at Washington.
The above named Pratt was on this
coast year ago in January on similar
business for New York house. He has
Just been convicted in Des Moines. Iowa
OF passing two $40 counterfeit and one $50
counterfeit note, on parties in Davenport
Iowa, and sentenced to 1--WE years in the
penitentiary.

THE Argonam pleases itself with sound.
ing condemnation of those who boycott
But will it pause moment and reflect
that the boycott is as old as civilization !:
1t has been means of offense and defense
to all men in all times, and always will be-
Saints and sinners alike, and even news
the Ar9ondut, have chosen to deal with
those who deal with them in preference to
those who do not, and to withdraw patron
age from those who are opposed to them.
This abuse of people who refuse to buy
Chinese products is as unbecoming as it is
unjust, since the refusal is the exercise OF
a human right. The declaration that " the
Chinaman has right TO be employed" is
so stated by our contemporary as to justify
the inference that il is thereby meant that
whoever refuses him employment commits
a moral crime. All of which is absurd
and Is opposed to the practice and judy
ment of man from time immemorial. OF
course, the boycott can be and is frequently
pushed to the verge of injustice and be-
yond it; of course, it may be made in
human, and it may be and has been SC
used as to be cruel and indefensible But
that all who employ it are deserving Of
condemnation, or that its employment
against Chinese is of necessity an outrage
and grievous wrong, cannot be estab-
lished.

a Double Murder.

VICTORIA, February 15th-A Coloaist
special from Chemainus reports a
most diabolical double murder. Two
eating supper Saturday night, when some
Indians made their way from the beach
opposite Miller's house, and shot Dring
through the skull. They then shot Miller
in the belly with charge of swan shot,
then through the chest with an ordinary
round bullet. Dring not being dead, they
cut his throat back to the spine, after
which they served Miller the same way.
They then secured articles of furniture and
food, and made their escape. There is no
clue as yet to the murderers, but tracks of
Indians to the beach. Dring was found
sitting in a chair, with his head resting on
his breast. Miller was lying on his back
beside the fireplace.

Baptista came to this city to day from Be-
dega III very excited state, and swore out
warrant against Casci Livigi and Giovan-
mini Simani, charging them with having,
on the 18th instant entered his house dur
ing his absence and, with cooked revolvers,
violently committed rape on his wife. An
gelina, with two officers, at once started for
Bodega, to arrest the alleged ravishers. The
affair has created quite sensation here
and at Bodega. 1t is said that the victim
is in a low state, caused by the violent
outrage.
A prisoner, while at work on a sewer to-
day, escaped, and has not been recaptured.

RAT SToRY.-The Virginia New Chro,
icle youches for the following:

KAT SToRY.-Ihe Virginia New Chron
icle youches for the following;
Last evening N King, ianitor at the
Courthouse, was playing game of solo in
the William Tell. Tom Gracey was sitting
near him at the table. and whenever card
was played by his opponent King felt a
nudge in his side, which he thought was
given him by Tom as signal what card to
play. The game ended by King being as.
sessed for the stimulants. While they were
drinking at the bar King remarked that he
would never have been stuck if Tom
Gracey had not tried to help him by tip
ping his opponents hand Tom denied
having given King any signal whatever. At
this iuncture monstrous rat leaped from
Kings coat pocket over the counter. After
the establishment caused by the sudden ap-
pearance of the rodent had subsidized the
mystery ofits appearance was satisfactorily
explained. King had purchased piece of
cheese and put it in his outside coat pocket.
Having some work TO do at the Court
house, he hung his coat up, and the rat
smelling the cheese, had found his way
into the side pocket where it was located.
The nudging which King imagined arose
from Tom Gracey tipping his opponents
hand was caused by the rat nibbling at the
cheese.

The Cincinnati legislative investigation
into election frauds has thus far estab-
lished these facts: That at the October
election, 1885, the Democratic Election
Judges received tickets from Republican
voters, but threw them one side and sub
stituted Democratic tickets for them.
Democrats drove Republican challengers
from the polls. Democrats in several in
stances voted each from three to eight
times. From twelve to fifteen persons
voted each more than once after the Re-
publican challengers had been driven
away. The registration books were taken
from the polls, thrown into the mud,
trampled upon and destroyed. From
thirty-iive to forty men came from one
house and voted, and the testimony devel-
oped the fact that not over three legal
voters resided there. Nice place, Cincin-
natl.

REV. DIR. BARRows, in his anti-Chinese

sum He herds together with crowds of Others

Tor American schools or American policy He
imports his goods, and mis- money is not used to

the American laborer has the right to keep his
home sacred and his citizenship inviolate He
has the right to trade with whom he chooses
Trade is great system for the relief of man

trade that perpetuates this Chinese evil is IN
worthy of continuance. The voice of
humanity and Christian civilization demand
that American laborers should be protected
and America must not be so short-sighted us to
place herself second to any nation on earth
Of course this is an old statement of the
case, but it is the true one, and after all
the only practical one. 1t is, as we have
so often said, a question of civilization,
