Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1899-05-08
A Genius al Swindling.

The seizure in Santa Fe and other
places of this territory of a lot of coun-
terfeit tobacco revenue stamps was but
an incident of a gigantic scheme to float
500, 900, 900 worth of counterfeit money
and millions of dollars worth of coun-
terfeit stamps.
Philadelphia and Lancaster were the
headquarters of the conspirators and
counterfeiters. William M. Jacobs, the
organizer and brains of the gang, stands
revealed as a genius unmatched by any
counterfeiter who has ever come under
the eye of the government secret serv-
ice. AS the owner of a cigar factory at
Lancaster, Pa, it occurred to him that
a magnificent margin Of profit could be
added to his business if he could avoid
paying the government evenue tax Of
$3.50 for every thousand cigars manu-
featured.
Jacobs, therefore, employed Arthur
Taylor and Baldwin S. Bredell, two
young and ambitious e%ngravers, and set
them to work engraving counterfeit ci-
gar stamps. They made three plates
and printed thousands of the stamps.
Jacobs saw that as a natural develop
ment of his scheme he could make
money faster by having his engravers
counterfeit government bills also. He
then set them to work making $50 and
800 counterfeits. To get the proper pa
per for counterfeit bills Jacobs split in
halves government 81 bills, bleached the
printed sides and pasted them together
again, turning the inside out. He then
hired a college graduate and chemist to
make a special bleach, and had a special
paper manufactured with the ~. s.. T..
r. water mark in it. Jacobs, toward
the last, employed a Lancaster deputy
ven collector for 81, 500 a year to

IrQQps Now Feared.

Events in Idaho emphasize the fact
that the troops of the United States can
be depended upon to do their duty
whenever called upon by the proper au-
thorities. The recent trouble was start
ed by the miners union demanding that
a company should pay $3.50 per day to
skilled and unskilled miners alike. The
demand was refused. Thereupon the
organization assembled several hun
bred men and dynamited a mill, causing
immense loss. The shooting hat oc-
Cured was due to excitement and cow
ardice upon the part of the masked
strikers, for they mistook a party of
their own pickets for guards and fired
upon them.
The governor of Idaho is a Populist,
and his party has declared against the
use of United States troops in suppress
ing labor troubles, but he was wise
enough to see that the political declara-
ton was foolish, in so far as it applied
to the government for aid, because local
officials and militia could not be de-
pended upon in this emergency.
The quick action of General Merriam
in supplying guards for the local con-
stables and the rapidity with which sew
eral hundred of the mob were taken into
custody, were highly creditable to those
concerned. The haste of leaders to leave
Idaho shows the wholesome fear in
which even the colored troops who
risked mob violence are held. The lead
ers in the riot may have escaped, and
local juries may not convict the men
under arrest, but the fact that a vigor-
Gus effort is to follow such crimes, and
that where local officials are not vigil
liant the general government will act
promptly when appealed to by the gov
ernor of a state, will have a salutary eff
feet. Mobs that would boldly defy petty
authorities whose inactivity is often
prompted by a fear of losing political
support, will hesitate about committing
arson and murder when they know that
United States troops will swoop down
upon them. A healthy public sentiment
will be asserted when firmness is shown
by the government in dealing with the
criminals, and convictions can more
easily be secured.

A Republican Measure.

The New York Legislature, with the
insistence of Governor Roosevelt, passed
an act taxing franchises of corpora
tions, although strenuous opposition
was made by lobbyists. 1t is estimated
that the law will bring SIS, 600, 900 annu-
ally into the treasury from corporations
that have heretofore paid little if any
tax. The bill provides for the assess
ment and taxation of street railway, tel
ephone, telegraph and other franchises
in the same way that real estate is
taxed, the valuation in each case to be
determined with due regard to the earn
ing capacity of the franchise based on
the actual investment. In the case of
corporations the franchise has been left
alone, and only such visible material
property as could be discovered has
been taxed, when, as a matter of fact,
the franchise was the most valuable
possession of the company, and the one
on which the largest portion of the cor
poration's capitalization vas based.
If a Democratic legislature and gov
ernor had originated this new and le-
Ultimate system of taxation every little
crossroads Democratic politician would
have been shouting the praises of the
party. Somehow they never get a chance
to shout over meritorious measures ia
thered by such %parentage, because the
Republicans are always a decade or two
quicker than Democrats in realizing
what is needed, and in bringing about
the necessary legislation.

cions. aud employed the eX-United
States district attorney and his assist
ant as legal advisers.
The swindler had prepared to increase
his counterfeiting business to such an
extent hat he was about to start a spe-
cial paper mill of his own for the issue
of $l0O, 600, 600 of ~counterfeits.
Jacobs final triumph of genius was
to employ the cashier of one of the
United States suhtreasuries to accept
his big bills and to give him miscella-
neous small bills in exchange, thus saw
ing him all bother and danger of float
ing his bogus currency. The arrest of
the conspirators was made only a short
time ago. The manner in which the
counterfeits We're discovered and the
u~nraveling of the plot by the detectives
reads like a romance, and is a credit to
the secret service of the United States.

A press clipping bureau in the east
that had orders from the anti-imperial-
list league to clip all letters from troops
that were printed in this country, found
that in such publications only three
soldiers expressed a desire to return
home. Many of these letters were writ
ten to families of the soldiers, and given
to the local press by the recipients.
Writing privately, the soldiers would
have expressed a wish to return to
America if they had not felt it to be a
duty and a pleasure to stay in the con-
test to the end. To be fired upon by reb-
els and heal their country defied and re-
viled does not incline the young Ameri-
cans in the Philippines to quit when the
task is unfinished. The most of them
would be shocked to learn that their
zeal is not approved by anybody in the
United States.

Cecil Rhodes has been turned down by
the British government, which has re-

ing a railway across the continent of
Africa. Already 1000 miles of railway is
operated, and the gap to be closed would
not be a greater undertaking than was

which this government was able to loan
money, the repayment of which, to-

A conspiracy and attempt to excite re-
volt in the American army may occa-
sion only ridicule and contempt in the
United States, where the violently
harmless character of the doddering old
conspirators is understood and appre-
ciated, but while they may be as in
ocuous as a Grover Cleveland desuetude
considered personally, they have come
perilously close to qualifying them
selves for hemp by the aid and comfort,
if not more direct and material assist
ance, they have given to the LuzOn mu-
tiny, MOI to speak of the UNANIMOUSLY
false opinion they have been and are
spreading in Europe in regard to the
public opinion of this country on what
they call its imperial policy.
Shutting the mails to the printed mat
ter of this league of traitors who are
working to demoralize our army, to
cheat us out of the richest fruits Of the
Spanish war, and to defeat the univer-
sal will of the American people, is hard
Nv sufficient either as preventive or pun
ishment. Sedition, privy conspiracy and
rebellion are not to be successfully met
and crushed with an order from the
postmaster general. The basic right of
self-preservation inheres in govern
ments quite as much as it does in indi-
vidual man. It is not postmasters, but
the secret service, the United States
courts. and state prisons that need to
be utilized in a case like the present,

that the old country no longer has a
monopoly of any territory, and the fact
stares Great Britain's manufacturers in
the face that if the railway is built
American rail makers, bridge builders

OF course, the New Mexican would
like to see the rough riders reunion held
at Santa Fe, but would rejoice with Las
Vegas if that city should secure the re-
union. 1t is not quite fair, however, that
the Optic, in order to boost it's own city,
tries to belittle Albuquerque and Santa
Fe. When it says hat the hotel capac-
ity of Albuquerque is probably $50, and
that of Santa Fe less, while that of Las
Vegas is more than four times as great,
it is uttering a deliberate falsehood.
When the Optic tries to make capital
out of the fact that Las Vegas is Gov
ernor Otero's home town, it pays the
governor a graceful and deserved COM
pliment, which, however, is rather tar
dy. Las Vegas would be a good city in
which to hold the rough riders reunion;
in fact, next to Santa Fe, the best city
for that purpose, but it should advertise
itself without decrying the advantages
of other New Mexico cities and towns.

Anything which makes communica-

If there had been an Atlantic cable in
1872 there would have been no war be-
tween the United States and England
at that time, for England revoked her
orders in council, which were the direct
cause of the war, just five days after
wal was declared by congress. The fact
that England intended to take this ac-
ton was known in diplomatic circles in
London a week before the revocation
actually took place. If there had been
quick communication at that time be-

States would have known this change
of attitude by England, and war would
have been averted.
