A Trickster Caught.

A travelling agent, whose name We
did not learn, resorted to a very des-
picable trick to- dispose Of some Of
his wares IL. this city Monday OTTER
noon. He was agent for art books
and repeatedly attempted to sell
them to A. w. MacRae, but was I'M
successful. When Mr.. MacRae was
out he rushed In and told the young
lady clerk u very plausible story
about Mr.. MacRae always taking
the books when he allied and would
feel great, disappointed II he missed
this opportunity; he couldn't call
again, as he was going on the next
train, ETC.. and succeeded in making
the inexperienced girl believe that it
was her duty to purchase the books
for her employer, and finally received
~ for a book that was entirely
worthless to Mr.. MacRae. The only
truthful statement he made was
that he was going away ON the next
train, which was the $3.50 train for
Brainerd. Mr. MacRae returned
shortly after the agent departed,
and although the sum was not very
large, lie concluded to, teach the fel-
low q lesson. He got a policeman
to 10 with him to the depot and
caught him before he left town. At
first the fellow tried to blulf, but
when 1t became a question Of return
ing the money or going to jail. he
disgOrged. and was also willing to
apologize. *. III.

A DANGEROUS ENACTMENT.

While It may be freely admitted that
the caricature of public officers and
well-known persons 10 often carried to
Objectionable and offensive extremes,
there is no doubt that the anti-cartoon

assembly, goes to O much more objsc-
tionable extreme. II may DO hoped
shat Governor Blacks sense OF justice
and propriety will prevent the bill
from becoming law, ' Q ~ he yester.
day vetoed the greater New York
charter, but II that resort fails. there

declared unconstitutional.

with free speech, has been recognized

SATURDAY EVENING. APRIL 10, 1897,

The fact that gold democrats are to
receive great consideration at the hands
of President Mckinley and that there
likely Is more truth than poetry In the
announcement that Hon. w. b.
Childers, who became U. s. district at
torney for New Mexico In the closing
days OF the Cleveland regime, will hold
over the fonr years Of the present re-
publican administration, is partly In
dictated by the course Of the president
10 taking in the case Of Claude M.
johnson, chief Of the bureau Of engrav-
ing and printing. It Is known only to
few intimate friends OF Mr.. johnson
that one OF the last things that Sec
rotary Carlisle did before he left Wash.
ington was to talk to both President
Mckinley and Secretary Gage regard.
ing MIR. Johnson's case. He told them
that Mr.. johnson had gone to Kentucky
and had done heroic work In the u
OF the gold standard, much to his W
Inconvenience and embarrassment as q
democrat. He pointed out that the
republican victory In the blue grass
state had been achieved by just such
men as Mr.. Johnson, and that no one
had exerted himself more earnestly In
the cause OF "sound money" than had
the present chief Of the bureau OF
engraving and printing.
OF course, Mr.. johnson is under the
protection OF the civil service law and
his displacement could not be effected
10 as direct a manner as 10 the case in
places excepted from classification,
but the president has 1t within his
power, it Is believed by himself and his
advisers, to except the position OF
chief Of the bureau OF engraving and
printing from the classified service,
and in due time this will be done and
u EcpuUltVhu WW " . oPPothsS~ ~ s-~
position. But Mr.. Mckinley has de.
termined t o move slowly In this matter
and will permit Mr.. Johnson TO retain
his present place for q considerable
period.
Even then, IL Mr.. johnson should de-
sire, 1t is quite likely that 3 position
within the bureau would be provided
for him within the classified service,
though it is not believed that he would
accept any place below the n he now
occupies.
President Mckinley is being over
whelmed with requests from democrats
who left their own party to work for
the cause of the gold standard, and be
has found it quite embarrassing 10 dis
place such men. In the more prom.
cases, he will probably allow
such office holders to hold on perhaps
than they would ordinarily be
permitted to do.
