She swlndled Thousands.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Among the curiosities in crime
Inology is the case of the woman
Furneau, who was sentenced in
London last week to long term
of imprisonment for obtaining
money under false pretenses. Her
swindling operations, which ex-
tended over a period of twenty
years, were so numerous as to
almost surpass belief, but as an
evidence of the woman's wholesale
methods of work, more than 1000
letters from dupes were found in
her possession when she was ar
rested. One of the most daring
acts Of her unlawful career was
the prosecution on the ground Of
attempting to obtain money by
threats, of a victim who had sought
to force the return of money she
had swindled him out of. In this
as seems to have been the case in
most of he" ventures, the woman
was successful, for the man was
convicted and sent to Jail. Hap
PLY criminals of her type, while
not rare, seldom are able to prey
long upon the community.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST s, 1894,

The outcome of the war that is
being made by the Catholic church
on the saloon is one Of those I'M
considered things that suddenly
looms up with an Importance that
has not been dreamed of in its
earlier stages. The simple fact
that the Catholic church has coun-
selled its members to abandon
liquor selling and engage in some
other business is a recommended
ton so far reaching in its results
as to overwhelm the thoughtful
mind with the inevitable results
of such recommendation generally
accepted. Granting that it is only
a recommendation, yet it is a re-
commentator showing the mind
of the church on that matter, and
that fact alone indicates the direc-
ton in which the authority of the
church will sooner or later be
exerted. From recommendation
and counsel to more authoritative
declarations is only the natural
step, and once this is taken it
sewers the saloon from the sane
ton Of the church and arrays the
whole force aud power of Catholic
ism against it. That this condi-
tion of affairs is destined to revo-
lutionize drinking usages is too ap-
parent for denial.

The Republicans all over the
country are intently alive to the
situation and there will be observ-
ed greater unanimity in council
and a greater adhesiveness of par
ticles than is usual at this season
of the campaign in an off year.
The gravity of the situation and
the necessity Of recovering the
government out of the hands that
threaten its destruction, presses
upon the thoughtful men Of the
party and all else will give way be-
fore this necessity. The patriotism
of the Republican leaders has been
challenged and they will put coun-
try before personal prefement for
Office.

There is nothing as yet to indi-

the tariff issue now pending in Con-

There is no doubt that Dallas is

The tariff bill is evidently the

inebriation.
Now that the sewer election is

When Texas is allowed in the
National Republican convention
her four votes for her two Senators
and two votes for every member Of
Congress that the party elects in
the state, then will the Republi-
cans of the state bury their differ
ences and come together in order
to secure a representation in the
great council of the party. The
policy that forces this action would
be a wise one.

The tariff tinkerers who pro-
nounce in favor of all raw mate
rails are principally from the
south. These gentlemen are re-
minded that the staple Of their
section, cotton, is in danger Of need
ing the protective hand of Repub-
lican policy. Egypt began to ex-
port cotton about ten years ago,
her outgoing bales for that year
aggregating 1900. Ten years later
the output for export reaches a
million bales. What will it amount
to in ten years more at this rate,
and will not these cotton growers
of the Southern states need protec-
ton against the raw staple about
that time? Look before you leap.
