TRACING A COUNTERFEIT.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: 1.-The
tracing of counterfeits back to the 'shov-
er' is curious and exciting work. said an
eX-government employe. lone day back
in the seventies a bank clerk in Cinc.n-
matt detected a queer $50 bill in the de-
post of a small retail grocer. He sent for
me n l started to work. I found that
the grocer had received the bill from a
shoe dealer, who had it from a dentist,
who had it from somebody else, and so
on, until finally traced it to an invalid
woman who had used it to pay her ply
slcian. When questioned she said the
money had been sent to. her by her broth

up her brothers pedigree and was certain
L had my man. He had a bad record, was
the proprietor of 4 dive, and was Just the
sort of a person likely to be a confederate
of counterfei-ers. l came here with the
handcuffs IN my pocket, but as things
turned out l was a little premature. The
man proved to my complete satisfaction
that he had received the money as rent for
a small house he owned in Pittsburg.
That was dlscourag.ng, but + couldn't
SiVe up after going SC. far. and took the
next train for Pittsburg. The tenant of
the house turned out to be a travelling
ocufist. who spent most of his time on the
road. He was then away in the west, but
/ saw him on his return and he at once
recognized the bill. 1t had been gwen
him by a patient in Cincinnati, the very
point from which l started. The patient
was a boss carpenter. l got his address
from the oculist and made a bee line for
the city. I had a p~remonit.on that some
thing very strange was going to happier,
and I wasn't disappointed. The carpen-
ter was an honest old fellow. mi told me
without hesitation that he had received
the bill from Mr.. - for repairing his
barn. Mr.. - was a small grocer in
whose bank deposit the counterfeit had
turned up. / flew for his store as fast as
a cab could carry me. and found it closed.
He had skipped. Afterward it was shown
beyond question that he was the regular
agent Of the gang. HIS shop was a mere
blind. That the bill which he gave the
carpenter should get back again into his

continent was one of those miracles Of

1t is questionable about yesterdays
riot in Paris having an effect upon the
Dreyfus trial. If, as predicted by press
correspondents upon the ground, the con-
viction of Dreyfus has already been as
sured by the judges, and that the trial
is being conducted merely upon formal
lines to deceive the public and to disarm
adverse criticism of their stings, the riot
may cause the court martial to pause
long enough to see the effect the uprising
will have upon the people. and then gov
ern it's action accordingly. But it would
appear to those imbued with the spirit
of liberty, fraternity and equality, that
Justice, not prejudice, would find eX-
preston wen in Paris. without consult
ing the whims of a mob. or their effect
upon the masses. 1t is not clear, how
ever, that others, not connected with the
anarchists, were participants in the mob.

OUR iMPOR7A?iONS.

During the fiscal year ended June 80
last, the United States exported nearly
two dollors' worth of goods to one dol
lars worth it imported. In other words,
our sales to foreigners nearly doubled
our purchases from them. That is a good
showing. 1t is the balance in trade in
favor of a people which makes them
rich. The individual who sells twice as
much as he buys is the man who makes
the money. 1t is the same with a nation,
and it is not strange that the past year
has been n of extraordinary prosper
ity in the United States. And why should
it not be a prosperous one?
Our people sold to foreign countries
last year 81 1927, 203 1888 worth of stuff, they
bought only s697 116, 1854 worth, the prin-
cipal articles being sugar, coffee, chemi-
calls, hides and skins, manufactured cot
ton, crude rubber, raw silk, manufac-
tured fibres, manufactured silk, raw
1ibres. fruits and nuts, jewelry and dia-
monds, manufactured wood, iron and
steel, manufactured wood, furs and
their manufactures and tin, the cost of
the several articles running from about
$95, GOO, 900 for sugar down to nearly s12,-
600, 900 for tin. We consumed about
sic, oO0, COO worth of manufactured to-
baceo, bought nearly 81, 1000, goo worth Of
copper and a little over So, 900, 900 worth
of raw cotton. All these figures are
taken from the latest returns of the
treasury department.
AS the United States have to depend
upon foreign producers for seven-eighths
of our sugar. all our tea and coffee and
ubber. and most of our silk and tobacco,
it goes without saying that our imports
Of these articles should be very large.

A WARMING NOTE SOUNDED.

During the past six months Germany
900, 600. A leading German paper thinks
such an issue in so short a time will lead
to a commercial collapse. and warns its
country of the danger. Well, Germany
may be in danger. Such an issue would
not excite a single remark here in Amer
lea. where the monthly average is about
six times as great as the German aver
age. 1t is a very dull month when $780,
600. 0C0 of stock is not placed or the mar

unit than Germany. and though it
may not ave so much money as SOM of
its European money-lending friends, it
gives a show to what it has. But it is
well enough that warning notes should be
occasionally sounded. They set people
thinking, and, possibly. may save them
from commercial collapse.
The United States, as Well as Ger
many. are creating property on paper
very fast-much faster than the increase
in the real money of the world justifies.
The real money is gold, a fact that will
be recognized when it is understood that
every evidence of debt in the civilized
world is payable in goblin gold alone.
There is enough of the yellow stuff to so
round as long as but little paper is pre-
scented at a time. But no one cares for
the gold as long as a man knows he can
get it when wanted. Paper is more con-
venient to carry and handle, but there is

ability to conquer. From a cold business
proposition it will pay Great Britain to

ONY FOUR PER CENT OF K/CKERS.

The following excerpt, clipped from a
! recent number of the New York Evening
Post. is a fair sample of the worse than
rot which is being used by a few non
administration journals to create public
sentiment against the conduct of the
Philippine war:
The feeling among the volunteers who
have been serving IN the Philippines is
made clear enough when a detachment of
them escapes the region where the censor
ship prevails and reaches this country. as
did the Nebraska regiment and the Ctah
artillery Yesterday. All of the dispatches
from San Francisco agree that the sol
diers express the greatest dissatisfaction
with the management of the campaign
by General Otis. and the warmest salts
faction at escaping from further service
in the war of conquest.
And "all Of the dispatches from San
Francisco agree that the soldiers ex-
press the greatest dissatisfaction" In
deed! That is a rather sweeping asser-
at least a majority, of them had been
heard from and gave voice to their dis
satisfaction" Now the fact is the Ne
braska regiment and the Utah artillery,
numbering in the aggregate 1,122 men,
gave just 45 interviews of the kind de-
scribed by the Evening Post. and which
threw that journal in the Mysteries that
found expression and relief in the ex-
cerpt above. That is only 4 per cent of
the whole lumber. 1t must be assumed
that the thousand and seventy-fve who
campaign, for it does not appear that
the forty-ive spoke for the rest.
Only 4 per cent! No wal in which the
American people ever engaged had fewer
grumblers, fewer fault-finders, fewer
"kickers" among those who participated
in the active dutiees Of their armies,
than have returned from the Philippines.
Even Washington had to deal with
traitorous tories, who disparaged him
and his patriotic lieutenants. The war of
1872 was prolific of fault-finders in the
it. Grant had GROWERS in his camp, and
conscienceless critics out of it. He was
accused of drunkenness at Shiloh, and of
uselessly sacrificing precious lives in the
Wildesnes. In fact, in all the wars which
history records, much more than 4 per
cent of the numbers actively engaged
have developed into calumniators of, and
spiteful kickers against the commanding
officer or officers in charge.
What could have been expected more
of General Otis than he has accom-
plished? He has been victorious in every
battle fought against the Filipinos. His
losses have been i~nsignificantly small
compared with those Of the insurgents.
He has had only 10000 to $4,000 effective
men at his command. With that num-
Der it was impossible to garrison and
hold all the places he captured without
dangerously weakening his advance col
umns. No general could have done it.
With his base 1000 miles distant, Otis
has accomplished wonders. But, how
ever cautious, however circumspect, how
ever careful he may be of the lives of his
men, however courageous and however
victorious he may have been, there will
always b found those in his command
ready to aver they or somebody else
could rave done better.
