FAKE mill CONFESSES TO FORGERY.
Bryan EOFgan Admits Trying to Palm Off a
Fabricated Letter on Its Readers.
NOT A GENUINE LETTER.

Rrsns Personal Organ. omahaw o1d-IedL September a. 1885,
Last week at Il invention in Council Bluffs there wa read a letter. re-
c,Ned by II. c. Bell of Fort Wayne Ind, and by him given to the public
The letter pmporcd to he from an alleged New York banker who signed
himself j.. Fr4ncis Forsythc.
The editor of the WorllIcrald had received a western newspaper contain.
ing the letter several days before it as read lin Council Bluffs and before
publishing it had instituted an Investigation as to its authenticity
We are low convinced that THE ALLEGED LETTER is A FAKE.
Mr. Bell no doubt received it and believed in its gcnunencss. but we are
unable to find any trace of the alleged banker in wall street and we conclude,
therefore, that Mr. Bell was imposed on.
We have abstained from editorial reference to the letter until 1t could be
looked up. 1t may have been, rs some think, Il practical joke played on
Bell by II gGdbug friend or it may have been a more serious imposition.
Whatever iB however IT is NOT WHAT IT PURPORTS TO BE.

Againi
Vermont and Maine
Give reputation pain
And pile the ground with silver slain!
Every sawlog in the rivers,
Every cake of ice that shivers,
Every spruce tree heavy laden,
With It's chews for man and maiden:
Every deep and desperate dicker
For u drink of hidden liquor;
Every wild deer in the mountains
Every fish in all the fountains,
Every down-east Yankee notion,
Good to use on land or ocean,
Every man who's got his senses,
Sees how fatal the offense Is
OF these popocratic jobbers
In the outside lines of robbers!
After Vermont, Maine,
And it's plain
Maine knows
Which way the wind blows.
In any event ,
She went
That way
The other day.
And the democrats stood by her side.
Feeling a pride.
That they could stand
Hand in hand
With honest men for the good of the land.
And slug in the neck
Those who would wreck
The nations honesty and name
And hold 1t up to the whole world in

GLADSTONE -lln4liNS TIE TURK.

GLADSTONE .ti!KlNiNS THE TURK.
All people who sympathizc with the
unfortunate Arlnenians will welcome
Nth profound satisfaction the public
appearance of Mr.. Gladstone to plead
for action for their relief. The veteran
statesman, whose intellect seems to have
lost none of its viGor and clcarneSS, de
iivercd an address at Liverpool yeStcr-
day which ought to exert Il great influ-
ence upon British public sentiment,
whether or not it shall have any weight
with the government. He does not pro
pose any attack upon MOhammedana
but upon the Turkish officials who are
resp inside for the blrbHrities and cruel
ties the ArmPnians haye suffered. 1t is
against the fanatical sultan and his no
less funntical advisers that MI. Glad
stone would have the British govern
mont and the other powers direct Their
efforts and not against the Turkish PEG
pie. There is no question that the ma
licious ana bloodthirsty ruler OF the OF
toman empire ought to be depoSed, but
there is little reason to expect that he
will be, owing 10 the inability OF the
powers to unite upon IL policy and Eng
land will not undertake the task single
handed. The aroused popular feeling in
England is said to have produced an eff
feet in Germany, but the German gov
eminent has manifested SO little con-
Germ in the matter that nothing OF Il posi-
tive or aggressive nature is TO be looked
for from that source. 1t is probable
Emperor William desires not to be III
volved in the possible complications.
Russia seems hardly less Indifferent.
Such being the case there appears little
to be hoped for from the movement in
England in which Mr.. Gladstone has
taken an active part beyond, perhaps,
temporarily the hand of Turkish
slaughter. None the less the Christian
world will applaud the efforts of the
'grand old man. in this cause of hui
mainly.

Gold Clause siIyerites.

New York democrat. on being questioned
about it; 1--WE have endorsed the Chicago
platform and candidates, and Sewell stands

And Altgeld, Stewart, Pennoyer and the
other gold mortgage holders will count this

Mr.. Bryan proposes to abrogate the civil

And yet, at Lincoln. without invitation, he
went 20 the depot to talk to a body of such

One of the campaign documents now

which pictures the leading goldbugs,

publicly class Senator Hill with Presi-
lem Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle and
Banker Morgan as beneficiaries of the
