A Forger Comes to Grief:

The boldest and most systematic
attempt at forgery and passing coun-
terfeit checks was brought to light a
few days ago. The Cranberry Iron 4
Coal Co., issues checks of the denom-
ination 5. 10, %, so and $1O0- printed
on card boa d to pay off the hands.
Henry Beford, of Virginia, got it into
his head that he could counterfeit
these checks and make some money.
So he proceeded at once to get up
correspondence with publishing
house in New York and had his
checks printed. No suspicion was
aroused until he had put on the
market about 5000 of the bogus checks
To one man in this place he sold $50
worth at one time, The Company
never suspected anything crooked un-
til the very evening he left when they
realized at once that they had been
swindled. They telegraphed at once
to Johnson City to have him brought
back together with his baggage.
When the officer arrested him he
tainted dead swsy. His trunk was
searched and $500 worth OF the coun-
terfeit stuff was found unsigned and
unpunched together with instru-
ments for counterfeiting the sam g.
He had his trial before Justice Rid
die and in defanlt of $1,000 bail wa 9
sent to iail,-Elk Pork ChYsnicle.

A Broken Pledge,

The pledges and promises OF the
Republican party have come to
naught In 1884 that party declared
in its national platform "The Re-
publican party pledges itself to correct
the inequalities of the tariff and to re-
duce the surplus"
Since that pledge was made more
than three long years have passed and
gone, and yet during all this time no
Republican in Congress has ever in.
PRODUCED bill to correct the acknowl-
edged inequalities OF the tariff system
On the contrary, nearly every Repub-
lcan member has more than once
voted against any consideration Of the
tariff question. Seeing that reform is
bound to come and the surplus reduc'
ed, Notwithstanding their violated
promises, the Republicans are now
trying to frighten the people with the
false and shallow cry Of "free trade"
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1888-01-12

A special from Dubuque, Iowa, to
the Inter Ocean says: Senator AL
lison, said in an interview that the
party which failed to do its share in
speedily reducing the tariff taxes would
loose in public favor. The necessity
for some action was great, and cou-
gress would be compelled to act. He
did not wish to outline any definite
plan, but said the parties were so d.
vided that in order to reach any re-
suit, mutual concessions must be
made. He would be willing to repeal
the tobacco tax and sugar tariff, and
further enlarge the free list"

experience is everything on the part

that any woman may becomes moth
err without suffering any pain what
ever. 1t also tells how to overcome
and prevent morning sickness, swelled
limbs, and all other evils attending
pregnancy. Itis reliable and highly
endorsed by physicians everywhere as
the wife's true private companion.

The last article the late Jno. J. Lit
tleton wrote for publication was
strong letter to his paper protesting
against the nomination OF Blaine. He
stated that he had been a Blaine man
until his visit to New York had con-
WINGED him that, if nominated, he
would lose that State by a hundred
thousand votes. This comes almost as
q dying declasation and ought to be a
warning to those who are disposed to
favor the Plumed knight.
