It Was a Big Scheme.

Acting Chief of Detectives Kurti
 received word yesterday of the ar
 rest in San Francisco, Cal, of Dr
 R. M. Osborne, a prominent citizer
 and practicing physician of Kings
 bury, Cal, on the charge of having
 made preparations for a series o1
 forgeries which would have startled
 the country, and which, from the
 manner in which the plans hsd been
 laid, would have been difficult to
 solve.
 The discovery of the scheme and
 the arrest of the forger were due
 largely to the operations of Chief
 Wood, who was notified that plates
 had been manufactured by Cross cup & West, of this city, for a man giving his name as Charles Bender. Several months ago Crosscup &
 West received a letter dated Traver, California, and signed Chas. Bend CT, asking if they could manufac- ture plates which would be a fac simile of those from which bills of exchange were printed.
 The letter was answered in the affirmative, and a short time after a bill of exchange on New York, drawn by the Nevada Bank of Reno, Cal, for $30 was received by the firm with the request that a plate shall be made similar to the body of the bill. A proof was sent, and with the approval which was re- turned came another order for a plate similar to that of the Farm ers' Bank of Fresno, Cal, one of which, filled up to the order of the firm, was enclosed with the order.
 The peculiarity of the orders ex- cited the suspicion of the members of the firm, and the facts were told to Chief Wood. By his advice the plates were completed, and in the meantime the Chief wrote to the  officers of the banks, giving a his tory of the case and advising that some action be taken toward dis covering the author of the letters. A watch was set in Traver, and it was found that the letters for Chas. Bender were called for by Dr. Os- borne.
 A watch was then put upon his movements, and after the plates had been completed arrangements were made for their shipment to Traver. AS soon as the plan had been found | complete this far, Dr. Osborne made ] arrangements by which the package | would be reshipped to Portland, Oregon, and a day or two later he left for San Francisco.
 He was closely watched, and was seen to purchase paper similar to that used by the two banks, togeth- CT with rubber stamps for filling in the number of the bills and the punches used by the banks. AS soon as his purchases were completed he was arrested, with the evidences of his guilt in his possession, which will supply full chain of evidence, and will no doubt lead to his con- viction. The arrest is said to have intense excitement, as the doctor was we'll known and highly by a large circle of ac- uaintances.-Philadelphia Record
The St. Johns herald., 1888-08-09

Carl Schurz, who is yet in Ger many, and was recently entertained by Prince Bismarck, is preparing a thorough study of Bismarck's ca reer and of its bearings on the po- litical situation in Europe. It will appear in an early number of the FOrum.-Ex.

Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1888-03-31

avail unless the proletariat comes to
their assistance.
Prohibtory laws against the adult
Grafton of food products, such as the
laws proposed by Senator Edmunds
and passed by the United States
Senate last week, are merely blows
aimed al consequences by the defend
crs of preventable causes. Senator
Edmunds, being enormousl J wealthy,
and one Of Il small minority of people
who find it convenient to be good, "
and who, by reason of their wealth,
are above the necessity OF entering
into The lower grades of competition,
finds it easy enough to say "Thou
shalt not" to his more tempted
brother, but he does not lift his
voice IN favor Of system which
would hold forth no temptation to
adulterate food.
And so through the whole gamut
of class legislation. For the sake of
u chance to appropriate unpaid labor,
our Influential, /. g., wealthy, people
prefer to perpetuate system prolific
of evil which gives them IN oppor-
tunity to show their authority and
cry Chou shalt not whenever they
happen to feel the pressure.
Mere ignorance cannot be offered
in cXtendation where such men as
Senator Edmunds are concerned.
They have ample opportunity to in
form themselves; nay, they are con-
stantIy reminded of the objects Of
capitalism. Senator Edmunds will
in all probability continue in the
same course after ne reads this, and
pcrsevere in his attempts at reform
but he will accomplish nothing
worthy of a true reformer, nothing
adequate to the needs of the times
nor commensurate with modern in
tell gcncc.
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1888-03-31

This is fact demonstrated over and
over; and when one worker spurns
the thought of another worker be-
cause of familiarity which breeds
contempt for him, he is traitor to
himself and to his class. The same
familiarity with banker, politician
and millionaire would breed the same
contempt for them, for they are no
wiser than other men III anything
but their own affairs. IL 'RSted

tons and denunciations of this here
sy of their pet, by which it recedep,
they say, from its previous position
OF superiority to the X. of l.. and
Ordinary" labor organizations.
When, in May, 1856, the officers
of a number OF trades unions held II
conference in Philadelphia, Chief
Arthur did not appear; but he an
swered the invitation by letter,
wherein he stated that his brother.
hood would have nothing to do with
other organizations. One of the
delegates remarked; "Never mind
that, their time will come" The
time has come now, when the Broth
erhocd must take its place within
the general movement. And thus
the time will come for every organi-
zatlon, no matter how conservative
its appearance, provided it is really
capable and willing to defend the
interests of its members as wage
workers. -FNvAaure WOrkers' Jour-
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1888-03-31
THE WORK ERS' PROBLEM.

A writer in IIale'S Fibre and Fab-
rjc deplores the unwiIlingness of la
boring men to learn from each other.
They must have their instructions
from politician, banker or million
aire, he says, "The idea of a man in
his own walk of life pretending to
know more than he does is revolving
to the average laboring man," We
suspect that there is good deal of
truth in this. But laboring men
have got to think out their own prob
lem in their own way. There is 10
power in heaven or earth that can
think It out for them. One thing
they should remember, and that is
that delegated thinking is certain to
end at their expense to the delegate
advantage.
No man, we believe, can be entire
y faithful to another mans interests,
no class can be entirely just to an
other class. The hboring classes
can hire men to talk and to write for
them but they must do their own
thinking. The ideas formulated by
their takers and writer's must be in
the heads of the workers, else think
ing and writing for them is in vain.
A man cannot accept or understand
a thought which he has not in some
way more or less vague already con-
ceived in his own mind. If he hires

vented the commission OF the crime
OF the distracted mother. This
demand" reads:
compulsory school education of all
children under fourteen years of age,
to be gratuitous and to be made accessi-
bic to all by public assistance furnishing
meals, clothes, books, etc. All instruc-
ton to be under the direction of the
United States and to be organized ON a
uniform plan"
With such provision in force the
poor widow could have gone to her
daily task, even under the present
system, with comparative cheerful
ness, knowing that when her days
work was done she could devote her
evenings to the children.
1t is a poor economy to drive peo-
pie to desperation and crime by per-
mittlng them to become victims OF
poverty when it is in the power of
society to provide against it. m
stead of squanderlng public wealth
to support horde of armed despera-
does, such as the police Of New
York and Chicago, with all the para
phernalia of the Jail, and the gallows,
The peoples money could be used to
make better conditions which would
tend to decrease crime-which cell
tainly would have done 30 in this
and many similar cases.

POVERTY'S ALTERNATIVE.

The horrible case of the murder of
her children by Il despairing mother
published in the New 70 k papers
last Sunday has probably been obht-
Grated from the public mind by this
time by many another tale of crime
resulting from the disorganized state
of society, calling forth EXPLANATIONS
Of pity or execratlon, as the case may
be, but in very few cases stirring peo-
pie to condemn the causes of the re-
peated horrors.
The case in question was that of u
poor, hard working widow with three
small children who WAS threatened
by the authorities with having her
babes taken from her to be farmed
out to strangers out West. The
thought of parting with her children
added to the misery Of poverty was
more than she could bear, and she
preferred to see them dead rather
than in the hands Of unknown people
in unknown parts. SO she poisoned
them, intending to end her own life
when she was sure Of their death.
For some reason or other she placed
her own fate in the hands Of the po-
lice by giving herself up to them,
telling them what she had done, and
expressing her willingness to forfeit
her life on the gallows.
1t was terrible alternative that
society forced upon this woman.
She chose the one to her the least
repulslvc. She was willing to work
for their maintenance, but she could
at best barely support her little fam
lily. Instead Of assisting her to keep
her family intact, society. in the in.
terest Of what it is pleased to call
charity, proposed to separate her
from her loved ones, without any
guarantee that she would ever behold
them again. So far as she was con-
cerned they might as well be dead.
The coming order of society, the
Socialist State, will not force such
an alternative upon its members-it
will not be necessary. The children,
being the war Is of the State, of the
people, will not need to suffer be-
cause their mother is poor-indeed,
there would be no poverty.
