the British.
Instances ofindividusl heroism vera
not lacking among the eolored races,
both negro and Indian, during the war
OF the colonies for independence.
One Of the most noted among the
blackmen who fought against the Brit
ish was Austin Dabney, young mu-
latte living in Pike county, Ga. Aus.
tin was a free man, and was known to
the planters for his sobriety and in
dustry even when a boy. He shout
dered muslzet and joined the army,
working in the trenches and fighting
bravely during three years.
He was severely wounded IN Skin
mish in the winter of II, and was car.
ried into the house of a planter named
Harris, where he was kindly cared for
and nursed back 10 health. as soon
as he could walk he joined the army
again and remained until the end Of
the war, when in recognition Of his
bravery a pension was granted him by
the government.
The state of Georgia also gave him
valuable land. Dabney titled it so
skillfully as to become a wealthy man.
He had neither wife nor children.
His benefactor, Harris, had died,
leaving a helpless family, and the
grateful negro gave all of his means
and his life to their service, He sup
ported them as long as he lived, send
ing the Oldest boy to college and then
TO the law school
When at the end of three years young
Harris came up for examination, Dab
ney stood in the court room trembling
with anxiety. When the boy passed
triumphantly and was welcomed as a
member Of the bar, the old negro burst
into tears.
He lived to a great age, and was
honored throughout his native state,
not only as a veteran who had fought
bravely for his country, but as man
of ability and high integrity.
In the records which Afro-Ameri.
cans are now making, for their own en-
couragement, Of the men of their race
who have achieved success and distinc-
tion struggling against heavy odds,
they should put the story Of the poor
Georgian soldier, Austin Dabney.-

A coUNTERFEiTER CAUGHT.


pOFtsnt Capture.
On Monday the 18th Harold afarquisee, Of
Utica, n. Y, was arrested In Syracuse, n.
T., on warrant sworn out by the Dr.. Vii
iams' Medicine Co, charging him with forg-
cry. On the 18th of December Marguisee
visited 6 photo-eRgTaYsr IN Syracuse, say
ing he was the representative OF the Dr..
Williams Medicine Co., and arranged for the
making Of a full set of plates for the dlCec-
ton sheets, labels, etc, OF the famous DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. News
of this reached the home Office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when he
should return for the plates. He returned
On the 18th, and was accordingly arrested
and is now in jail IN Syracuse awaiting eX-
animation, which occurs on March Cd.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plumber, such
as medical books, typeWTiters, rugs, etc,
found IN Marquisee's trunk when arrested.
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; and in a
search Of his apartments in Utica found
complete outfit for cOunterfeiting consist
ing Of cTucibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
bismuth, anthony, a small blacksmith
forge, a charcoal furnace, and several plas-
ter-of-paTis molds. The United States mar
shals want him Just as soon as DR.. Williams
Medicine Co, are through with him, and, no
doubt, he will be sentenced for 2 long pc
nod.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
his eouHterfeiting operations, he showed bis
knowledge Of the proprietary medicine bust
ness; for these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug store IN
the United States. His scheme was to work
the country druggists and sell his imita-
tions at a discount of from percent. to 5 per
cent, explaining the reduced price by the
lots and at a discount from dealers who were
overstOcked. By working fast and making
long jumps, he would have secured many
hundreds Of dollars in a short time The
pToprietOrs of Dr.. Williams Pink Pills are
most fortunate to have caught the rogue, be-
fore he had fairly started, and to have thus
kept these spurious goods out Of the market.

A FEW SIMPLE LAWS.

Poverty ana Misery Prevail When
Currency Volume Is Diminished.
w. H. Crawford, once secretary Of the
treasury, said: "All intelligent writers
on the currency agree that when it is
decreasing in amount poverty and mis-
cry prevail"
It is astonishing that the year 1896
should develop a school of economists
who take a different view. Their posi-
ton is as grotesque as was the attitude
of the late ParsOn Jasper, who asserted
10 the last that "the sun do move"
Scarcity, of course, restricts supply,
and great scarcity naturally stimulates
demand. This is as true when applied
to dollars as it is when applied to wheat
OF to corn, It is an undertaking law.
With general supply restricted and uni
versaI demand stimulated, some, of
course, must do without, and doing
without is the essence of poverty and
misery.
The refunding act, which greatly con-
tracted the currency, brought on the
panic of 1873. The process was as sim
Die as ABC. With no more money than
enough to carry on the business OF the
people, the amount in circulation was
curtailed, loans were recalled, debts
could not be met and confusion (panie)
ensued.
Confidence was destroyed, of course
and we undertake to say that it has ne7-
er been fully restored.
There have been spasmOdic revivals
of trade, but, generally speaking, what
we call "haFd times" have been with us
ever since the first year Of Grants sec
ond term.
That is to say, there has at no time
since the suspension Of payment on
Wall street in that eventful summer,
been a job for every man who wanted
it. We have seen a steady increase of
the army of the unemployed; we have
seen our children driven into the fac
tories and our women taken from the
hearth to become hired servants of the
heartless; we have seen our independ-
ent farmers of small means become de-
pendent tenants on large estates, and
worse than all, we have seen the crea-
ton Of a parasite class that is a disgrace
to the republic.
John Stuart Mills is an authority, and
he says that the most elementary propo-
sition in the theory of currency is this:
An increase of the quantity of money
raises prices and a diminution lowers
them.
Herein is found the secret of "hard
times" Prices have fallen under the
unalterable workings of this law.
Low prices leave the producers such
commodities as come out of the sol
worse off at the end Of the season thar
at the beginning. He has no money
ard cannot purchase the output Of the
factories; hence they are shut down.

sbFinkage in Property values.

Senator Chandler in a speech in the
senate declared that the prosperity of
the United States has shrunk in value
since 1880, from S60,GO0. 100000 to S45,-
OO0, 600, eco, or one-fourth. The cause of
this shriRkage is the goldite policy of
contraction, and the subsequent aPpre-
citation Of the gold dollar, the only
money OF ultimate redemption in its
relation to property. The apprecia-
ton OF the value OF money is shown by
the depreciation Of property and vice
versa. There can be no other expiana-
ton. Tt is the condition thus produced
that the country is suffering from TO-
day, and the responsibility for it rests
upon the federal government legisla-
tive aad executive. which haa weakly
yielded 70 tie demanas Of the money
/ power.

metrical and Aesthetic Study" This
dignified title hardly prepares the read
ers for the strong, u~nvarnished man
ner In which the baron treats his sub

his denunciation of those misguided
millions who find comeliness In the
"undergrown. small-shouldered. big
hipped and short-legged sex" How
much more grateful to the clear eye Of
art should be the noble proportions OF
the properly developed man, argues
the baron. by numerous measures

here. he proves to his own satisfaction
that geometrically the female is a fall
ure and that the male form is a suo-
cess. Women themselves have shown

the baron says. that they appreciate
their inferiority In this respect. They
have concealed their limbs In flowing
garments. reaching sometimes to the
knee, sometimes to the ankles,
times to the feet. but always far
enough to hide the defects In their pro-
portions. They now not only conceal
their proportions to a large extent, he
says, but they always seek to alter
them. moving their waist up or down
with stays. squeezing In their natural
figures here and building them out
there. and not scorning hoopskirtsS
bustles and crlnoline In order to make
themselves look as little as possible

baron's argument, but he does not yield
to this apparent defiance Of his logic.
The baron seems to feel that. after he
has put forth his most forcible argu-
ments and has exhausted his most dis
eliminating criticisms, he is still en-
listed In a losing fight. for he adds
plaintively: But most Of the men of

AS the two lines anne within range the

two lines actually met and passed
through each other the terrific bonn
bardment at close quarters would
doubtless send many ships to the bot
tom.
The steel turrets are capable Of de-
flecting the heaviest shots that strike
them at an angle; but there is always
chance Of one of these gigantic 13-inch

The remainder would pass on. The

the maneuver from the opposite d.

fight. Their steering-gear might be so
damaged that they could not turn

We are justified in regarding this as
a faithful representation of what might
take place. No ancient battle would
show any such wholesale destruction.
Here are huge ships %plunging to the
bottom or blown in fragments to the
skies. Each contains more souls than
an average village. Besides the fight
ing men, who have the madness of bat
tie to nerve them for their fate, there
are swarms of workers, who have no
such delirium to help them endure the
terror and the suspense as they tend
the vast machinery in the roaring hell
Of the ships bowels. For them. when
the blow falls. there is nc escape. They
go down in their iron dungeons with
out even a last look at the light OF
heaven.
There is a daunting horror about all
this which none of the most vivid
tales Of ancient war can match. II
would not be difficult to show that In
a land engagement the destructiveness
of the modern machine-guns would
provide a fair parallel, moving down
battalions and annihilating whole d.
visions in a way that would make Wa
terloo and Gettysburg seem like play.
One cannot doubt that only a few
episodes Of ever a iftieth part the hor-
ror of the one described would be need
ed to make the world rise up and cry,
There shall be no more war;
