FOREIGN COMMENT ON THE MES
SAGE.

AS years pass Americans become less and
less sensitive in respect to the expressions
OF foreign journals upon passing events.
The time has been when an adverse opinion
of an American State paper had a serious
effect upon the American estimation OF the
author. But now we form our own opinion
Of such papers and regard foreign comment
only with langud curiosity. 1t has pleased
the London papers, so far as their views
have reached US, to speak we'll of President
Harrison's annual message. The London
Post thinks its general tone and character
so satisfactory that the political effect will
be to diminish Mr., Blane's chances OF the
denomination. The Ne,os says that Harri-
son is less exasperating than Blaine and
consequently more statesmanlike. But the
Standard attributes the attention given for
eign affairs to Blaine's "fidgety activity"
The English of this is probably that Harri-
son took good care that Blaine should not
make political capital out of any alleged
omission on Harrison's part to stand up for
American rights. The Standard admits.
however, that the figures the President
quotes as to the workings of tho Mckinley
tariff are sufficient to cause some surprise to
adverse critics, both at home and abroad.
We may add that the home surprise is
matter upon which there is no longer any
question.

COUNTERFEIT NOTES.
How Ignorant Victims Are Duped
by B0Odlers.

The country towns of the State are being
flooded with circulars, addressed to local
residents, Offering to sell counterfeit notes
at very low prices. The circular is yery
skillfully worded. and the scheme is
speciOus attempt to inyeigle innocent and
ignorant dupes.
The circular. which is signed "You
Know" gives the man addressed pumber
and password by which he may send tele-
grams. but not letters, to a fictitious indi-
vidual at a hotel in New York.
Enclosed with the type-written instruc
;ions is what purports to be a clipping from
New York newspaper, indifferently
printed, giving an account Of the easy man
ner in which counterfeiters outwit Govern
ment officials.
A subscriber of THE CALL, livingin Santa
Barbara County, received bunch of docu-
ments containing this trap as briefly ex
planned. His address had been obtained by
the New York fakir in some unknown man
ner, and the recipient promptly forwarded
the papers to THE CALL, to be used as a
warning.
THEIR OLD GAME.
When the circulars were shown to A. l..
Drumm0nd, Chief of the Secret Service of
the Treasury Department, who is now in
the city, he looked disguised. 80 they
said. The swndlers live usually in large
cities, New York being their favorite CEN
ter OF operations. They never deal in eoun-
terfeit money. because this open method of
advertising would lead to their detection.
The game IS TO inveigle dishonest per-
sons, who would buy counterfeit money. if
they could. into parting with genuine bills
IN the hope OF securing bogus notes. They
never really receive any money. either
genuine or counterfeit"
n. R Harris. special agent of the Secret
Service IN this city. explained an alternate
method sometimes employed by the
swind!ers. "A genuine note, or por-
tons of it, is sent to the victim who is told
that the Enclosure is counterfeit" he said.
They also offer for sale bills which they
aver have been printed on plates stolen
from the Government, although no such
plates have ever been distracted from the
engraving establishment
LURED TO AN HOTEL.
" In any case the greenhoru is usually
lured TO an hotel in large city. There he
Is shown package of genuine bills, which
he is told are spurious. They are sold for
but by some trickerY they are retaken, and
when the dishonest purchaser reaches home
lie opens his parcel and discovers a lot of
worthless papers. The game is very old.
but people seem never TO tire of being hum
plugged"
The crime of which the "boodler," as he
is known in secret service parlance, is
guilty is covered by section of the United
States Statutes. The offender, upon con-
viction. is liable to fine of $500 and to
eighteen months imprisonment Convic-
ton is almost Impossible, owing TO the I'M
Willingness of the man who must be the
main witness to confess his guilty failure
and in any case his evidence would be
weakened by the fact that he would have
been criminal if his attempt to purchase
buUuS notes had n of m Sparria1

WORLDS FAIR MATTERS.

Several State Worlds Fair organizations
are now In conference with the National
Commissioners OF the Worlds Fair with a
view to the adoption of line of action
which will give the State boards a voice in
the selection of exhibits. President Baker
of the local directory defined the object of
the conference to be to secure the co-opera-
ton Of State boards in dealing with exhib-
itors. He admitted that the State organza-
tons must look to the Board of Control for
authority President Baker held that the
Commissioners from the several States were
more competent judges OF the products Of
the States they severally represent than
chiefs of departments can possibly be.
This is a matter in which California is
especially interested This State has ap-
propriated 100000 toward an exhibit.
Under a clause in the Constitution this
money can only be expended under the di-
rection of State Commissioners. According
to the present understanding this apprnpria-
tion cannot be used to promote the exhibit
in the competitive department-the depart
ment in which our display will be of the
greatest benefit TO the State. The question
arises now il through the assignment of
powers now held by the National Commits
sion to the State boards the latter may not
expend the money in the selection OF articles
for the competitive exhibit Perhaps the
law for this may be hard to find, but the
advocates of this policy will not certainly
be driven to a greater stress than the Su-
preme Court was for law under which the
100000 appropriation was declared consti-
tutional. The court in that decision fell
back Oh the general authority given legis-
lative bodies to appropriate money TO pro-
mote the public good. IL this authority is
sufficient to justify the appropriation it
should be sufficient, also to justify its ex-
penditure in the way to do the most good
II is expected that the National Commission
will make fight to retain power they
clearly cannot use intelligently. But as the
National Commission depends upon Con-
gress for an appropriation to meet ex-
penses it may be induced to make conces-
sions. The Worlds Fair is no place for an
exhibition Of personal vanity If the State
commissions can with equal means make a
better exhibit than the National Commits
sion acting for all the States, the State
commissions should be given the authority
President Baker would vest in them. The
National Commission. acting through its
Board Of Control, has received applications
for space and has exercised full authority in
the selection of exhibits and exhibitors. If
the State commissions step in between the
National Commission and the exercise of
despo.ic power the real interests of the fair
will undoubtedly be promoted.

interest have been made within the past

The auction sale by o. T. Won Rhen & Co.

the year,

Telegraphers and then join the order with
out danger of prosecution for perjury. The
LAWYER who gave this advice probably
founded his opinion on the infrequency of
prosecution for perjury. A lawyer who
has positive knowledge of hundred or
more perluries. none of which had been
prosecuted, might easily come to the
conclusion that perjury was not punish
able oifense. 1t is not easy to see upon
what other ground the advice could have
been given. The object of tie affidavit was
TO secure a working force that would not
join the Order of hallway Photographers.
While the object may not be deemed Justifi-
able, most people would hold that the men
were bound by the affidavit. There are, of
course, cases where life is stake when
promise or an oath is not held to be morally
binding. A person who makes promise
while looking down the barrel of a loaded
pistol does EOt feel under moral obliga-
tion to keep the promise after the pistol has
ceased TO be a convincing argument. But
the case of the telegraph operators does not
come under this rule of action.
