forage is. Webster says itrepresents
the toll for coinlng bullion. Ex-
Congressman Hewitt says it repre-
sents vacuum. As applied to the
Bland bill that now awaits the Presi-
dents signature it represents the
profit accruing to the government in
purchasing silver and coming it into
short weight dollars. For example
the. government buys $1,000 worth of
silver and makes out of it $500.
This extra $500 is the seigniorage.

The Senate finance committee re-
ported the tariff bill to the Senate on
Tuesday. The bill is more odiou
than the original House bill. Its
principal aim seems to be to foster
the sugar and whiskey trusts and des-
troy New England industries. Its
fate in the Senate is matter of con-
lecture but the strong probability is
it will pass that body.

One Silica S. Coxey, an Ohio
crank, proposes to lead an army of
unemployed to Washington, starting
next Sunday from Massillon, Ohio.
He thinks that on marching day he
will lead forth from bis little and
hitherto unknown town 100000 men.
The hope of the protector of this
march is that on the way the army
may be increased by the re-enforce-
ments along the route to 100000 men.
1t has always been regarded as a
piece of crankism that is being work
ed for all it is worth.
Be that as 1t may, people along the
proposed route of this reported gath
ering army are becoming alarmed.
1t is not a comfortable thing to con-
template the coming of horde, who,
if hungry, would be pretty sure to de-
your everything within their reach.
1t may become necessary, if the
march really begins, to call out
the militia, and possibly the
United States troops to keep the army
from overrunning the country.
Tramps from near and everywhere
and nowhere have begun to arrive at
Massillon.
The army is going to Washington
to insist that some hundreds of mil
lions of dollars be spent in repairing
old roads and laying out new ones.
The cry will be, "Glve us work"

which he and the army are confident
they can force upon the attention OF

lures % Theatrical beauties.
We stand with the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance union In its war upon
those unsightly posters bearing indeoor-
GUS pictures Of actors or actresses which
are to be seen at times in some Of the
streets Of Brooklyn or even Of New
York. The members Of tho Brooklyn
branch Of the union who began the war
there last week are enlisted in a proper
cause. Some Of the posters against
which they have turned their arms are
very offensive.
We object to these posters because Of
their i~mmodesty. Some Of them are
markedly indecent II is not merely be-
people Of both sexes arc pictured
IN tights that we object to them. for
there need not be any improperly IN
appearing upon the stage in decent
tights o. in giving pictures Of those
who thus appear. Il is because Of their
essential viciousness.
We object TO the public display Of the
vicious pictures because IL is repulsivo
to pure minded Women. young and old
welded and unwedded, az well n 20
their fathers and brothers. There is
proof Of this In the protests that are
made against them.
We object tOit because it is unlawful
under the statutes Of the state Of New
York. The law in the onse ought TO he
and can very easily be enforced without
the least infringement Of the rights Of
anybody.
We object to tho bad posters for artis-
tic reasons The oolored pictures which
they bear are nearly always unoomely,
and the persons represented in them Of
ten look like slouches, though in tights
Let the law be applied TO these can
daIous posters In its behalf we stand
with the ". c. T. u. The war that has

contempt for the prtposterous censorship
upon books and works Of art which that
ignorant crank, Anthony W. Comstocl,
has for many years tried to SGT up and
in the application Of which he has with
in the past few weeks made himself
more than ever q Laughing stock and a
nuisance. This is not a case in which
Comstockism is involved.
The public posting Of haring broad
sides, bearing improper pictures, ought
to be stopped. The managers who are
responsible for tic existence Of such
posters ought TO stop it for their OWL
sake and for the sake Of the persons rep
resented in shameless ways without
making it necessary for the W. Q. T.

ties. The posting Of bad shows is preiU-
dicial to the best interests Of the stage.

THE peARMAN MYSTERY.
A Story OF Mistaken Identity Involving
the Dead and the Living.

A Story OF Mistaken Identity Involving
the Dead and the Living.
ct have heard Of a great many cases
Of mistaken identity, " said an Ulster
county IN. ~ lawyer, but never Of
one quite az remarkable as that of John
Deagman Of Old Hurley, in my county.
Ten years ago John Dearman married
Katherine Crispell, awell to do farmers
daughter. Soon afterward he took to
drink and in time abused his wife
shamefully. Five years ago she deter
mined to have him arrested for i'll treat
ing her, but he disappeared before she
carried out her intention.
Mrs. Dearman heard nothing Of her
husband after he went away, but n year
or so later she read in q newspaper an
account Of the discovery Of the body Of
2 man in the Hudson river, near New
burg. The description Of the drowned
man was so much kathatoE her miss
ing husband that she went to NewgqrR
TO see If the body was his. It had beer
buried when she got there. She showed
to the coroner, the physicians who had
held the post mortem and to others who
had seen the body q photograph Of her
husband, and every one at Q pro-
nounced il that Of the dead man.
MRS. Dearman had the body disin-
TERED in order that she might herself
see the face and make sure that it was
her husband. She recognized the body
at once, and tho further fact that the
dead man had two front teeth missing,
just as her husband had, made the iden-
tihcation the more positive She re-
moved the body to her home and had it
reinterred.
"a year OF so ago Mrs. Dearman
married John Branthover and removed
with him to Albany, where they now
live, prosperous and happy. One day last
week, to the amazement of everybody
who had known him, John Dearman,
long supposed dead and buried, returned
to Old Hurley. There could be no mis-
take as to his identity. Too many cir,
cumstances proved that he was the true
John Dearman. The story Of his sup.
posed drowning was told to him, ano
the grave where it was believed he hac
been lying these four years was shown
to him. He also learned that his wifi,
had remarked and had moved away,
and he said;
" It's all right ] deserve it
"Then he walked away and hasn'|
been seen since. But who was the MAJ
who was drowned, identified and buriet
as John Dearman2''
