FORGERY.
Township Clerks Taken i'm by n Slick
Stranger.
HrLIsBoRo, O., June, 1888.

From the Washington G. II. Cyclone.
Several weeks ago a stranger travelling
under the name of r. NJ. Harvey, made
his appearance in Paint aud Jefferson
townships, this county, and commenced
a canvas among the local school directors
for orders for school supplies for which
he claims to be the authorized agent.
He carried with him little blank book,
and when director would tell him they
did not need anything in that line
book and tell them to write their names
in 1t and he would forward them to the
Company and they could send him cir.
culars, etc., from time to time. or course
the directors thought this was all right,
and down went their names in their own
hand writing. The slick swindler
having their bona. fde signatures could
easily initiate them. He would at once
write an order on the Township Clerk
authorizing him to issue an order on the
Treasurer in favor of r. NJ. Harvey for
So or 50, as the case might be, for repair
ing black board, and forge the directors
names. The Clerk of course recognized
the genuineness ofthe directors sig nature
and issued an order on the Treasurer for
the amount. The Treasurer would either
issue a check or pay the cash. In two
Instances in Jefferson township Harvey
was paid by check. He raised one of the
by the cashier OF the Merchants and
Farmers Bank In this city. 1t has not
vet been learned whether or not other
school districts in the county have been
imposed upon by Harvey. Three dis
tricts-Nos. !, 2 and 3-in Jefferson town
ship and two districts In Paint township
were taken in. Harvey also got in some
work in Madison county. 1t IL supposed
that the fraud would never have become
known had it not been that the Clerk OF
Paint Township was visited by gentle
man with an order from the directors Of
one of the victimized districts in which
the claim was for repairing black boards.
Suspectipg that something was wrong
the Clerk refused to pay the order until
1t was investigated. The investigation
revealed the fact that 1t was fraud, and
the other case mentioned proved to be OF
the same nature.
County Auditor T. j. Lindsey sent the
following notice to number of the
County Auditors in this part ofthe State:
WASHINGTON c. H., o., June 81, 1888.
DEAR SIR Warn your Township
Clerks to be on the lookout for person
representing himself as It. M. Harvey,
claiming TO be an agent for school sup.
plies. He first gets the signatures of
local directors. in book he carries, and
then forges orders on the Township Clerk,
usually in sums OF eight dollars, and In
some cases where paid by check he rails
aI ola AAIr tD ,tz.l,N oil HA de-
hair and mustache, and weighs about 200
pounds. A suitable reward will be paid
for his arrest and conviction.

Performance vs.. Promise.

There have been twenty-five sessions
OF Congress since the close of the war OF
the rebellion. peculiar coincidence
the control OF the House OF representa-
tives, with which must originate all leg
islation affecting the revenue, has been
for an equal period-eleven years-with
each Of the two great political parties.
While one of these parties has been
committed to legislation, having in view
the protection OF American labor and in
dustries, the other has been inviting the
support of voters by Its promises of
"revenue reform" and the reduction OF
taxation. 1t may prove instructive to
look over the record OF each party for
the eleven years it has controlled natl
onal legislation, and find out what has
been accomplished.
The Protectionists, while in position
TO originate legislation, passed eight acts,
by which the revenues were reduced
1885,, ,504, 500. On the other hand, the
party clamoring for "revenue reform"
has, during the eleven years OF its SUI
premacy, reduced the revenue but &c.
36S,935. The figures upon which this
summary is made have been before Con-
gress repeatedly, and have never yet
been controverted. Upon the record
thus made-performance on the part OF
the one, promise on the part of the other
the two parties again appeal for the
support of American voters. Which is
