CAPTURES A CONDUCTORS PURSE.
Amusing Position Of senator sherman
While on q Railroad Train.

WINE on q Railroad Train.
A stranger once caught Senator
Sherman with a stolen pocketbook.
Even to his day the ex-secretary of
state tells the story with great gusto.
His friends maintain and he claims
that he was always fon Of a Joke.
This joke was on him.
One busy day in July, 1886, the legis-
lator left Columbus, Ohio, where he
had been intending his fences" as he
used to call 1t. and took a train for his
home in Mansfield. He was in a BAR
lor car reading a paper and enjoying
himself as well as the heat would per-
nit. when he noticed that the persons
in the rear of the car were talking
excitedly. The conductor was in the
aisle g~esticulating and seeming ready
to weep. The senator paid no more
attention to the matter and was about
to resume his perusal OF the days
news. hen a man tapped him on the
shoulder.
Pardon me. SIR" said the stranger,
but the conductor has lost his pock-
etbook, with 5000 in It,"
That's too bad" responded the sem
ator. keeping his eyes glued on the po-
litical column.
Have you that purse?" persisted
the man.

secutor
This was too much for Sherman. He
sprang to his feet I'm anger.
Il am Senator Sherman. sir. Do you
mean to insinuate that I am . thief?
Go away from me at once"
IT know you are Senator Sherman"
was the reply. Also ] do not imply
that you are a thief. But the pocket
book Is in your valise."
The tall senator grabbed his travel
ing bag and yanked 1t OPEN. On top OF
it's contents was a sofIed shirt. Next
pajamas. AS he pulled the latter out
was a collar and beneath q pair Of
a p~ocketbook fell from h folds and
fell to the floor. II was h conduc-
tors property.
nat Sherman was all the more
embarrassed because he could not i'm

the contents Of his valise. In replace

the trainman missed his property and
related the circumstances the passen-
ger who talked to Senator Sherman
had figured out what a happened
and made bold TO play horse with

Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Washington. June 3.-Senator Mantle.
in his speech on the war revenue bill
in the senate to-day. said ne was not
wholly satisfied with the character OF
the revenue bill, because under II people
who own great wealth. Of course, will
not be compelled TO bear their fair share
OF the burdens OF taxation. But the
conditions are unusual. Ordinary rev.
enues are insufficient, renee extrsor-
binary means must be used to provide
money for carrying on the war. He
said he was not In sympathy with the
proposition TO issue ~greenbacks, because
he was a believer in hard money. He
argued hat the use OF greenbacks
operate to defeat the restoration Of sill
yer and delay the triumph Of bimetal-
lisr.
II confess ] cannot regard with com-
plsncency being asked TO vote for prac-
tically an unlimited quantity Of paper
money. Such a policy would not. in my
opinion, be beneficial to the people or
the country. and would undoubtedly
hinder. rather than promote. the cause
OF bimetsllism. IL must be borne in
mind hat every dollar OF greenbacks is
sued Is simply an evidence of a debt
redeemable under the terms OF the law
in coin. but. as a matter of fact, in
actual practice redeemable in gold. l
apprehend tha the principal objection
TO the issuance OF bonds at this time
arises not so much out Of opposition I,
borrowing money for the purpose OF
carrying on the war. but because of the
fear that this Measure In in reality de
signed TO furnish a basis by which the
powers OF the national n might b'
enlarged and extended. and the desire,
and urpos OF the treasury with re
spect to retiring greenbacks, and turn.
