The notorious counterfeiter "Pete- McCartney
Is said 70 have fallen into the hands OF the police
again on the charge Of raising one-doilsr bills to
the semplance Of ifriss and passing them on I'M
saspecting merchants In New Orleans. Although
rhs man VINO did this work took the best OF care
70 disguise himself, and fought OF identIncation
e long IS possible, the detectives soon settled
down 70 the belief that he was Mccartney, be-
cause OF the peculiar methods adopted in his
operations One OF the boldest and most
successful OF his Characteristic jobs com.
mitted several years ago, viii be remembered.
The Treasury Department had published book,
for the benent Of bankers who dealt largely In
Government securities containing fac-smies OF
all the notes and bonds OF large denominations
then issued The face OF q security, for Instance,
was printed on one page. ana on another the back
OF the same security. The paper OF wAlch the
pages were made was the regular bond and note
paper the being furnish to the BANKERS sure
means Of distinguishing genuine from counterfeit
issues In order TO guard against any possible fraud
irregular blank space was left In the middle OF
each impression As soon as Mccartney saw this
book he appreciated the possibilities IL offered He
obtained possession. by some unknown means, OF a
number OF copies OF II. Then he would Gu, out,
let Us say, a thousand-dollar bill front and back
grind down each to half It's original thickness by
applying avery me emery stone 10 the reverse side,
and paste the pieces neatly together The blank
space ne covered up BY cutting out OF one-dollar
ptil enough OF its ornamental part TO t In, and the
result OF the whole process was highly present
able Government note for one thousand dollars.
Mccartney WAS oever prosecuted for this Job, be-
Gauss he was technically guilty OF no crime. He
bad used only genuine Government issues. and he
had changed the denomination OF no bill His de-
lection, however, led TO the discovery OF another
joo In which ne had been eng aged. Sd that he did
not escape punishment after all The ingenious
counterfeiter Is more persistent and irrepresible
than the enterur,sIDa burglar

Mr.. Powderiy's article on "The Knights and the
Locomotive engineers IL one OF the strongest
pieces OF writing he has ever lone, and effects the
double purpose OF setting forth the grievances Of
the Knights and the alleged perhdy OF the en-
gineers, while urging his followers not TO adopt
the poncy OF retaliation One OF the most striking
features OF this plea Is It's logical consistency II &c
l. sincere Most OF the leaders who write open let
tiers Or issue manifestos TO workilgmen assume a
tone precisely opposite TO Mr. Powdsrly's They
declare that ''alPs fair in war" They uphold the
'eye for an eye" and the tooth for tooth" prin-
cple, never modifying 10 unless for the purpose OF
urging a demand for two eyes and two teeth
In return for every one given TO the
enemy. Every sensible man knows, however
that any number OF wrongs do not make
one night; and Mr.. Powderiy apparently realizes
that the cause OF the workinymen is not only not
helped by trying 70 pay back old injuries with In
rerest, but that ~ Is positively harmed. Nothing
would suit the enemies OF organized labor better
than TO create irreparabIe division In the ranks
Of the poor men who are struggling 10 better them
selves. But DOUBTLESS there viii be an adverse
response TO Mr.. Powderiys article from many
quarters where criticism or his course has been
most rife heretofore. IL has been his misfortune
10 invite cenSure whenever he has given the most
valuable advice TO the knights. II that advice has
happened 10 be more In the line OF moderation
and prudence than suited some Of the excited lieu
tenants
II, however IL may be imagined that Mr. Pow
derry Is not entirely sincere In his good advice and
that, Ike Mark Antony over Caesars body he Is
eounsellng moderation. but IN the same breath re-
citing wrongs TO stir mems blood, the leader OF the
knights will be neither surprised nor grieved at
oIsooedience 70 the letter OF his commands.
