Money? Dat amt money. OATS

Inc conversation was beginning TO wax
warm, when the barkeeper ran to the
door and summoned passing cop. The
OFFENDING bill was passed to him for in

bogus.
Guess I'll have to run you IN" he said.

Fifteen minutes later John Henry GUIDE

IN the Eldridge street station house. The
latter took one look at the bill, and said
that the counterfeit was so poor that he

sent below with great severity A search
OF the prisoners clothes brought to light
tour more notes, which had evidently just
been tossed off from the same counter
feiting plates.
Next morning the prisoner was arraign-
ed In Essex Market court, and the magis-
trate scarcely looked at the bills, so evil
dent was their bogus character. Young
man." he said severely, don't you know
that you are engaged in mighty dangerous
business? The government of the United
States will have to attend to your case,
and 1t never let's up when it is after coun-

Then John Henry got mad

You're pack of 'blumgagoes, that's what
you are. 1 got it from one of the best
firms in this town, gosht blame-it-aI!'
The magistrate looked a little startled
at this outburst, and being a magistrate
of good sense sent a messenger with the
offending bill to the nearest bank with
Instructions to find out how much of a
counterfeit it was any way. The answer
came back: Good as gold''
Then John Henry went home leaving a
trail of profanity behind him and the sick
est lot of policemen that ever attempted
to pose as ready counterfeit detectors.

County Commissionerships.

Nominations have now been made for
representatives in the legislature, and
voters are informed as to who are aspir-
ants for their suffrages for county offices.
Nothing, however. has been done by either
political faction in the matter of naming
candidates for the board of county COM
missioners. 1t would appear to be the pur-
pose of both clubs to spring nominations
for the commissionerships at the last mo-
ment, so that there would be no time for
the people to do more than accept the
decree Of the caucus with regard to the
candidates.
The commissionerships, it is hardly nee
essary to say, are very important offices.
The board elected on Oct. will have alb
solute control of the county's business for
four years. 1t is, therefore, of vital i'm
portance that those who compose the
board should be able, progressive and hon
norable men, true representatives OF the
interests of the taxpayers of the county.
No snap judgment in the selection of the
commissioners should be taken. Let the
two clubs at once name the candidates
they propose to put in. Barely more than
week remains before the election. But
if good use were made of the time it would
be sufficient for a discussion of the can
didates. 1t makes no difference what uhe
factional affiliations of the candidates
may be; the best men are wanted for the
places. The only way to determine who
are the best men is to have a discussion
of their qualifications among the people.

Bryan I'm Boston.
From the Boston Post Dem.).

The Bryan meetings last evening were
a tremendous success. There is no doubt
about that. The one upon the Common
was undoubtedly the largest open-air
meeting ever held in Boston. 1t is diffl-
cult to estimate the number assembled to
see MIR. Bryan-for comparatively few or
the great crowd could hear him; but any
one can guess, provided the guess is large
enough. 1t was surely an immense con-

Why sherman Was Cheered.
From the San Francisco Examiner Dem.)

Apparently Mr.. Sherman did not enjoy
himself in Montana. and yet the people
up there did all they could to make his
stay interesting. True, they declined
to shout for Mckinley. but they
shouted for Bryan every time necessity
arose for mentioning his name; so that
Mr.. Sherman heard a great deal of cheer

determined effort to carry their state.
