MANY eastern repu blicans insisted
before the St. Louis convention was

platform. The state convention of

following declarations: The stand.

When John p. Altgsld took his
seat as governor OF Illinois he found
that the state institutions had been
run on loose and extravagant politi-
cal methods. He at once called the
trustees and superintendents OF the
various institutions together and
gave these instructions:
First-Do not put . man upon the
payroll who is not absolutely
needed.
Second-Do not pay higher salaries
In an institution than the service or
ability which you get would COM

Third-Do not keep . man an hour

A QUEEN OFiSWlNDLERs
The Bold and Original
s..fptt.. r~-i
Methods of a Brilliant
Confidence Woman.

The most accomplished swindler and
confidence woman in America lies in the
county Jail ut Hartford, Conn, and but
for n lucky accident she would shortly
have been let loose to prey once more upon
the public -
Mrs +. Wallace Howe is the name of
this woman whose talents, if properly di-
rectcd, would have made her famous in
any legitimate profession. She has swim
died something like thousand college
alumni Harvard preferred, on the class
mates sister or classmate's.w widow game.
She has worked the Masonic fraternity
in similar fashion. She has played upon
the sympathics of Grand Army men to the
tune of thousands. She has given fake
lectures TO society women east and west.
She pulled the wool over the eyes of Lord
and Lady DuffCrin when the former WAS
governor general of Canada. She has been
through the Boston fire and the Johnstown
food. As the Drummer Boy of Loobuut
Mountain she whccdled thousands out of
their dollars when most of the present
generation of swindlcrs were in their era
dies. The woman is IS years old. Her
operations cover II period Of nearly 30
years, have extended from the AristOok to
the Rio Grandc and have yielded Il mint
of money-nobody knows how much.
Mrs. Howe was sent to the Hartford fail
in August, 1894 for swindling Yale alum
nj living in that city. She would have
been released under her sentence, with de
auctions for good time, on July -, but
the other day an incident occurred which
will cause the postponement of her liberia
ton. The Jail officials discovered letters
which she had written TO her husband and
other confederatcs planning II new cain.
paign of swindling as soon as she should
obtain her release AS several criminal
charges are hanging over Mrs. Howe, it is
likely to be some time before she will have
an opportunity to resume her trade.
Mrs. Howc's maiden name was Martha
f. Stiles and she was born in Manchester,
n H., in 1913. Soon after the war she
began her career of fraud, giving II series
of lectures on war topics in the guise of
the Drummer Boy of Lookout Noun
tain. She said she enlisted in n Michigan
regiment as Homer Mortimer and served
through many battles.
She used to appear before her audiences
in a drummer's blouse and fatigue cap,
remarkably becoming. One of her stories
was of her appearance before President
Lincoln to plead for the pardon of her
brother who had been sentenced to be shot
for sleeping on post. She told the story
with remarkable force and verisimilitude,
always reaching her climax thus:
"That little girl now stands before you"
These stories did service for n remarka-

Cumbersome Gold shipments.

self back and forth across the ocean, ma
tons had confidence enough in one an
others financial standing and integrity
to merely send certificates that the
amount of gold required was deposited
safely. These certificates could balance
one another as checks, orders, drafts,
etc., do in the clearing house system.
That is how it will be when the ma
tions are sufficiently civilized. Mr.. Mar
shall says:
Transactions in grain, -four, cotton and
metals are completed by the exchange of ware.
house receipts, which serve as representatives
Of those commodities, but we continue to
transport millions of dollars in gold and gold
bullion to and fro across the ocean when but
for international suspicion and distrust we
might JuSU as well use CertluCdleS OF u0DOSlb
in the United States treasury, the Bank of Eng
land. the Bank Of France any similar insti
tuition.
Unfortunately such an improvement, like
the universal disarmament and universal
peace advocated by some benevolent enthusi-
asts, is at present impossible, and the clumsy
system of weighing, packing cartine, ship
ping and insuring Of gold back and forth will
probably continue to prevail for years to come.
In fact If il could be abolished, the use of gold
generally as money could also be abandoned
and the paper obligations of governments and
government banks could be made to take its
place. The actual gold is needed only because
of want of faith in promises to pay gold, and
so long as nations are hostile to one another
and war between them is possible any day this
faith must necessarily be wanting. The sub
stitution of credit for cash in mercantile trans
actions between citizens of the same country
which is every year becoming more and more
general is proof of what might be done be-
tween citizens Of different nations, provided
only the danger Of hostilities could be entirely
removed
