A chapter Of philateIic folly has been
brought to an end in the Central Criminal
Court. Three mon who carried on a large
business in forged postage stamps for the
benefit of those who make collections of these
trihos have suffered the penalty Of their enter
prise in the form Of four months and six
months imprisonment. In vain they pleaded
that they ought rather to be regarded rs public
benefactors. Those who cannot afford real
diamonds, they argued, wear paste and we
only supplied to poor collectors limitations Of
PARTIES which the rich alone could purchase"
The defect in their logic was that they led the
humble enthusiast to believe that the forged
stamps were genuine. On their premises
thousands and thousands Of these forged inn
pressions were found, bearing the peculiarities
of the real stamps, postmarks, and all details,
ready TO be palmed off upon credulous por-
chasers, some Of whom pend a weeks income
OH a c~oloured piece Of paper of which the
intrinsic value, in point of either beauty or
utility, is absolutely nothing. Philatelists are
avenged for the inroad Of the forger upon
their domain, and the culprits have learned
that the manufacture Of old postage-stamps
leads to the treadmill.

1891 and Vote Accordingly.
NEIHART, Mont, Oct. %, g

NEIHART, Mont, Oct. 25, '92
Editor Miner,
Time, they say, makes all things even,
and now as one of the laboring men az
rested at Castle in 1891 at the instigation
of Dave Folsom and his gang want to
do my part towards exposing his acts at
that time and helping to defeat for any
office this enemy of labor. In February
1891, l, in company with about twenty
Others was employed on rock work on
the Castle smelter, then beginning to be
built. We had labor union and the rate
of wages was So per day. Dave Folsom
and Len Lewis were two of the heaviest
stockholders, and by their orders cut
of fifty cents a day was ordered. We
went on strike and both these gentle
men sent men off their ranches to take
our places. A meeting of the union was
held wherein it was decided to call on
these men in a body to persuade them
not to work for less than So per day.
Folsom had some of his tools at the
meeting who informed him of what took
place and Folsom at once secured the
service of Sheriff RAIDER, a willing tool,
with Il lot Of deputies, and when we ar
rived on the ground the sheriff and depu
ties armed with Winchesters and with a
lot of sleighs ready, placed tffty-one of
us under arrest and carried us to White
Sulphur Springs. Then the farce of jus
tice began. This Dave Folsom and his
lc S,,1 ,h,,r Snr
finding out who was for and who against
labor and from those against a jury was
selected. The tax payers made such an
outcry about the expense that only two
were placed on trial. They were ably
defended by Powell Black, the present
candidate for county attorney on. the
democratic ticket. but with such a jury
of course they were found guilty. An
appeal was taken to the district court
and bail was fixed. Then came Folsom's
hand again into play. He worked every
way he knew how to prevent any person
going on their bonds, but one man they
could neither cajole nor bulldoze, "Bill'
Sutherlin, who is now IA candidate for the
legislature on the democratic ticket. He
stepped to the front like man and fur
nished bonds. At this time Folsom de-
nounced all organized labor, and particu-
larly the Miners union, saying that if it
was not for the union he could fill the
Cumberland mine with men at $50 per
m Onth. This is the same Folsom who
now asks us labOring men to vote for
him in preference to that consistent
friend of the workingman, Ed Murphy.
No honest laborer who knows Folsom
and his record can vote for him; no man
who knows and rccOllects the treatment
our union at Castle received at his hands |
will vote for him, and |, myself, being
personally one of the arrested, will take
pleasure in voting and working against
Folsom and in favor of that honest capa
bic man, Ed. Murphy.
Respectfully,
GEORGE MCGOwAN.

These charges have been met by
Mr.. Folsom in very manful way.
He says they are not true but seeks
in no manner to vilify either his ac-
cuser or his opponent. In a most
considerate way he has explained the
truth in reference to the maledictions
and has given proof evident that
what he says is true. He is well
known to most Of our citizens and by
these individually is spoken of in the
highest terms as being possessed of
honorable principle and true integri-
ty in all his dealings.
Mr.. Folsom, as is seen, is charged
with, Q) cutting the wages; (2) help
ing to arrest strikers; (3) filling va
cancies in the labor with men off his
ranch; (4) meddling in the trial; (5)
