care not postage stamps forged to a
great extent:
There IS not much Of that sort Of
business done in this country now. 3
few years ago there was q big dealer IN
New York who prosecuted q fraudulent
trade on a large scale. He advertised
enormously and sold millions of forged
stamps, even going 50 far on one occasion
as 10 invent a certain foreign stamp in
order that it might be sold as a great
rarity But the law against obtaining
money on false pretenses Is applicable to
that sort of swindling and very little Of
it goes on OF present.
1T is scarcely possible to deceive c
collector of experience with q forged
stamp. The first thing he examines is
the engraving. If that bears scrutiny,
he inspects the paper, then he looks at
the post cancellation, and finally at the
gum on the back If 10 fault IS found
with any Of these particulars, the stamp
is surely good. The question as to
whether the paper IS woye or laid and
how water marked is incidentally OBJ
served in connection with the record as
to date Of issue. Washington Star.

An important decision was rendered yester-
day by Presiding Justice Van Brunt, of the SUI
preme Court, concerning the provision OF the
new Ballot law in reference to physical disabil-
ity. Section 90 says that when voter declares
on oath to the inspectors of election that by
reason of physical disability he is unable to pre-
pare his ballot without assistance" he may
take into the voting-booth person OF his own
selection to assist him. In the case that came
before Judge Van Brunt would-be voter made
oath that he was physically unable to prepare
his ballot because his fingers were "stif and
clumsy" The excuse was not considered suffi-
cient by the inspectors, but Judge Van Brunt
held that they had no right to 20 behind the
mans oath or inquire into its truthfulness. The
next Legislature will, we presume, deem it
wise to define physical disability so that
clumsy fingers will be ruled out.

THE NEW.YORK ASSEMBLY,

The last Legislature was Republican in both
its branches The Senate, which holds over,
contained 10 Republicans and ID Democrats.
The Assembly contained, after lie Roy had
been awarded the seat of the WITH Assembly
District, &c Republicans and SO Democrats.
Returns thus far received indicate that the
Assembly OF 1891 will be Republican, but by a
bare majority The result, however, secures the
election of Republican United States Senator
in place of William NJ. Evarts, whose term Of
Office expires next year. The Republicans gain
the Herkimer, the lid Monroe, the Ontario,
the LIST Steuben, the lid Saratoga, the Yates
and the With New York, and possibly other
districts The Democrats gain the Warren,
the lid Duchess, the Ist Oneida, the LIST Or
ange, the LIST and lid Westchester, the XlIth
Kings, the With, Xlth and XIIlth New-YorIs
and the With Erie districts.
The vote, as a rule, appears to be light in
most OF the districts The new Ballot law
worked to the general satisfaction. Hamilton
Fish, IT,, is reelected, but by q reduced ma
jority. Frederick s. Gibbs was defeated as
was also James X. UCOnnor (Rep), OF the LIST
Oneida District. who voted against high license
last winter The latest figures warrant the be-
lief that the Republicans will have majority
Of 8 or 4. This with the Republican Senate
