A DESERVED PENSION

now, thanks to the pension which was
gallantly fought for by his old comrades

been placed beyond the danger of want

COUNTERFEIT MONEY.

A den of counterfeiters has besr
broken up in Connecticut and one Of Tn,
most dangerous counterfeits in the
country will be no longer issued. I,
was a marvel of workmanship. bar
ring few slight mistakes that the ordi-
nary handler Of money would not detect.
A large amount Of bills were seized to-
gether with the plates, machinery
and tools Of the bogus money
manufacturers. As the bills were
OF the denomination of $40, it will be
seen that the counterfeiters were pre-
pairing for big hauls of the lawful money
OF the country in exchange for their
bogus wealth. Some Of the men en-
ployed in this nefarious business have
hitherto borne excellent regulations. and
their arrest greatly astonished their
neighbors. The secret service
officials have been very forth.
nate in their hunting out OF bogus
money makers, and few counter
letters ever escape their clutches. Long
terms of Imprisonment await them when
caught and ever after they are kept un-
der police surveillance. So difficult is il
to counterfeit money and pass it success
fully that one would hardly think that
any sane man would attempt il as
The Chances against his success are about
to 1. Yet so strong is the desire to
get rich suddenly that men are found
willing to take any risk to gain the de-
tired end.
Thanks to the skill of the detective |
'fficers the country is burdened with |
'ut few counterfeits Of any kind and
most Of those can be readily detected by
means of the excellent description fur
sshed by the treasury department.

FILTRATION.

In another column THE News gives
space to an article over the signature of
Samuel L. Morrison, on the merits of
the mechanical system of filtration. as
opposed to the so-called natural filter
system. The article is almost of necessity
controversial in its nature from the
fact that the city engineer OF the city of
providence has set forth so strong arpu-
ments in favor Of a filter bad
both on the score OF economy of
construction and maintenance. Mr..
Morisons facts and figures should
command that close attention which
citizens have given to Mr.. Shedd's
statements and the City Council
Is bound to give the city of
providence system that may be relied |
upon as the best and the cost of which |
shall be the cheapest, efficiency consid- |
cred. The article by Mr.. Morrison en-
dorses the report of the investigating
commission that mechanical system is
not only the best but also the cheapest.
IHE NEWS would be glad if the CITY
Council could see their way clear to
securing O further report from Mr.. Ed
nund b. Weston of the city engineers

fuowledged superior of any authority in

THE TARIFF SITUATION.

1t Is understood that the President ha,
had several very stormy interviews Of
late with men responsible for the pres
ent deadlock and has threatened them
with his dire displeasure il they do not
accede TO his demands. He has called
Wilson to him and jumped all over him
because he has not succeeded in accom-
| phshing the impossible. Then he turned
his attention to the Louisiana Senator's
and especially to Mr.. Caffery whom he
iectured for revealing upon the floor of
the Senate the influence of the Sugar
trust over the tariff bill and for con-
hrming Mr.. Gorman's announcement of
the fact that the President made a pre-
election promise to the Louisiana Sena-
tors that he would exert his influence
TO protect the interests of the cane grow
ers. The President fatty informed Mr..
Caffery. it is said, that the Louisiana
delegation ought to be content to take
what they can get in the sugar schedule,
ana not to insist upon the bounty.
In fact, he has had his hands more
than full in attempting to dictate the
tarih tinkering. So far he has only
made mess Of it in his endsavor to get |
fat snaps out of 1t for his friends in the |
sugar trust and coal syndicate.
Whether be will be successful or not |
Is question, but If bulldozing and
threatening can accomplish his object
ne VIII succeed. The conference COM
mitteeseems to beno nearer an agreement
than ever, and the fact that the House
has decided to caucus will still further
complicate matters. Not only are there
iisagreements on coal, iron and sugar.
'ut on tho woolen aud cotton schedules

oerty to interfere. Then the House

American boats overtaking her. The
scheme failed, as 1t deserved to- and the
Bristol yacht crossed the line with n

seems to be regular mascot for the
Vigilant. He has been with her in her
last two races when she has won the
victories that all America feels SO jubi.
liant over.
In the race yesterday the Vigilant met |
the two crack yachts of England and
while there was variety Of weather
