RUTH's RAScALITY.
ForginE the Signatures of Business
Men I'm This City.

J. Frank Ruth of this city Is wanted for
forgery. Ruth is contractor aud builder
and an ex-member OF the Board OF Educa-
tiou. He has been in financial trouble for
sometime, but the discovery OF the forgeries
was not made until last Monday,
when a note for $3.50, made payable
to him and endorsed by NJ B..
Culbert, was protested by the Union
National Bank for non-payment. The
note was sent to the Union National Bank
for collection by the FArmers' Bank OF
Delaware. On receiving the notice OF pro-
test Culbert declared his endorsement to
bs a forgery.s When accused of the
crime In the presence OF Joseph L. Car
penter, Jr., and N. b. Culbert, Ruth
confessed bis guilt, but pleaded his finan-
cial difficulties as the excuse and promised
il given a chance, to make good the pay
msnt OF the notes. A note Of $780, dis
counted by the Farmers Bank, also with
Culbert's signature, was found TO be for
gerry. This Ruth also confessed
Not having furnished security for
the payment OF the notes by
Tuesday noon a warrant was issued for his
arrest, which was placed In the hands OF
acting chief of police Tucker. who vainly
endeavored to find him. He is Thought to
have left the city. Ruth has the audscity
and unblushing effrontery to ask Culbert
to go bis security. even when It was proved
that he had forged his name to three other
notes besides those mentioned.
Other forged notes, aRgregating $500,
have been discovered. One Of 81 ZOO was
offered to the Farmers Bank for discount,
but was refused. One Of 5000 was offered
TO Daniel James. Jr., the hardware mer.
chant at 204 Market st. Mr.. James was
suspicious of Culbert's signature and asksd
Ruth how be got 1t. Ruth told him
that he did not know Culbert
well enough to get bis signature. but
friend got it for him. Mr.. James, however.
did not taks the note note OF $500,
drawn by Joseph HammelI in favor of G.
W. Horn. bearing the endorsements OF
G. w. Horn and N. b. CuIbert,
was, at Ruth's request, also en-
dorsed by Fl. d. Walter. the real estate
agent. This note matured on Saturday at
the Union Bank and was protested. Cul-
bert's signature Is a forgery and G. w.
Horn pronounced bis to be a forgery. Mr..
Horn says be never endorsed a note for a
man In the city. Mr.. HammeIl promised
to pay this note but did not do 80.

ures is reduced to 19 cents

a good word and, while not
as handsome as the French,

money and closely initiate the
finer ones in styles. We have
27 styles left from large
handling this season and have
been selling them for l23

Wants TO Know.

New YORK fress.
A reader of the Sun for forty years
writes as follows TO that luminous journ-
al: Il am the engineer in a factory that
employs abouttwo hundred men. Nearly
all of them voted for Cleveland in 1884;
but they have now turned right around
and are going to vote for Harrison be-
cause he is protectionist | told them
that was waiting for the Sun, and they
replied that the Sun was on the fence. |
am sure that all the skilled mechanics in
the country would be glad to haye the
Sun with them in this fight against Eng
lish cheap labor. So don't lie banked up,
but slice out your fires and get up steam
In this race. If the Democrats win, l be
lieve they will have to do it without the
labor vote In reply to this the esteemed
Sun frankly acknowledges that these two
hundred worSmen are unquestionably
right, so far as the tariff goes, but that
nevertheless they should vote the Demo
cratic ticket, because Brother Dana thinks
lit is of high importance otherwise that
the Democratic party should be main
tanned in power" The Sun has evidently
forgotten that there is no otherwise
about this campaign. 1t has evidently
forgotten that President Cleveland in his
message emphasized this fact by not re.
ferring to any other issue but the tariff in
his message to Congress last December.
In a subsequent message, recently sent to
Congress, he made hYpocritical appeal
in favor of civil service reform, but the
Sun is opposed to this. and says it can be
best brought about by the election of
General Harrison. The question, what is
this highly important 'otherwiseY"
naturally suggests itself. Does the Sun
know?

provides the largest amount of work TO
be done at home is the policy which will
give our laboring men steady employ.
ment and the best pay? And is it not
equally clear that the policy which will
transfer work from our mines and factor.
les TO foreign mines and factories must
inevitably tend to the depression of
wages hereY" In this brief and direct
statement Of the case lies the whole issue
between the Republican and Democratic
parties. 1t is not matter of profound
and intricate theorZing, but of plain and
practical fact. We know that certain ex-
celent results have been produced by
certain logical causes, and it is reasonable
TO believe that the same causes will 90 on
operating in the same way II we keep
them in the same relation to our affairs
1t is absolutely true, in other words. that
protection has proved to be profitable
policy for us. putting actual dollars and
cents into the pockets of all classes, pro-
noting the general welfare of the masses,
and constantly charging the field Of en-
ployment. Is not that a sufficient vindi-
cation of its value and sufficient reason
for its continuance? The tariff matter,
with all its bewilderments, comes at last
to the simple question of financial profit.
Does protection pay? IL so, then it is a
good thing and ought to be preserved
Not all the philosophy in the world can
discredit it if the facts prove that it is
practical advantage to the country; and
that is exactly what the facts do prove
beyond all controversy.
