From one of the prisoners the detectives
ascertained that The money was made in
New York, and that similar gangs We're
sent to other cities to distribute the
money. The prisoner could not tell what

picked up in n restaurant in Market alley

democracy, the HERALD has no hesita-
ton in proclaiming, were worth all the
multitudes Mr.. Clark recapitulates as
having again and again filed Office.
Abraham Lincoln was another man who
had no very elaborate collegiate prepar-
alton for his great responsibilities, but
who discharged them remarkably well.
Prior to his election to the presidency
he filled one term in the house of repre-
sentatives. This, as far as our recollec-
ton goes, constituted the sum total of
his public services. And yet the fact
that he had not for years vibrated be-
tween the United States house of repre-
sentatives and the senate did not seem
to impair his usefulness in the slightest
degree. On the contrary, as in the case
OF Jackson, it seemed to impart to the
man a vigor and close affiliation with
the masses which would be imposs ible
to a hidebound bureaucrat bent only on
remaining in Office.
