ATwo-CEAT RAILROAD CLAM.



AT the general offices OF one of the
railways with headquarters IN Pitts
burg recently. a claim for two cents
was put through the usual system of
lred tape and allowed. A passenger
hailiug from the eastern side of the
State complained that the agent OF
the company had torn off one mile too
many from his mileage book. He
wrote five nages of Hotel Stationary
reprimanding the company for its
careless treatment of its patrons and
demanded immediate settlement. He
received corteous answer enclosing
two cents, with polite expressed
hope that he had not been seriously
disconnected by the occurrence.
DECREASE IN cOuNTERFEITING
The public can well credit the state
ment contained in the report of the
Chief of the Secret Service to the
effect that there has been marked
decrease recently in counterfeiting.
Counterfeiting has decreased because
it has become a very dangerous pro-
fession to follow Thanks to an
efficient Secret Service, colnterfeiters
are found out and caught
Thanks to incorruptable Courts and
honest juries, they are convicted and
sent to prison. Neither legal techni-
caliues nor political pull are permit
ted to defeat the ends of justice.
Counterfeiting is ON the decline be-
cause the most of the counterfeiters
are in prison
1t State laws against common forms
of crime shonld be as infexible and
as certainly enforced as have been the
Federal laws against counterfeiting
similar encouraging report could be
made in regard to crime in general.
Crime should be on the decline every
where, for the excellent reason that
there would be few professional Grim
inals at large; and the certainty of
detection and punishment would serve
to discourage new recruits to the
criminal army.
The Federal department of justice
is equipped with long arm and tena-
cious memory. 1t is rare that viola
ter of the penal code gets beyond the
reach of the department. and rarer.
still that his crime is forgotten. AT
some time, and somewhere, the agen-
c1es of the law lay their unyielding
hands upon coun erfeiters, bank
wreckers and violaters of the customs
a nd revenue laws and in this respect
ment and suppression of crime furnish
most commendable example.

Assassin'S Father Worried.

Cleveland. O., Sept. 16.-The father
of the assassin of President Mckinley
has not slept or eaten anything since
Saturday morning Since the death
of the president he has become moody
and has lost his appetite. A younger
brother of the assassin says that his
father is heartbroken us a conse-
quence of the death of the president.
Leon CzOlgosz. when a boy on his
fathers farm, owned a rife and
revolver, with which he used to shoot
crows and other small game. Thus
he became familiar with firearms.
Chief OF police Conner returned
from Buffalo to-day, but made no
attempt to see Czolgosz while there.
He is still disinclined to believe that
any definite plot to kill the president
existed.
