Splendid Imitation Of Bank Notes
Made In Copenhauen.

Made in Copenhagen.
A singular feat in. the forgery of
bank notes has just been accomplish.
ed in Copenhagen, Denmark, but with
results that ultimately brought the
authors to disaster in most ludl
cCoGE TT--yy. With no apparatus better
than small photographic press, anc
one or two most imperfect and print,
tive tools, a photographer had succeed
ed in producing 10000 notes of 10
kroner, each so perfect that only stu
pidity prevented a great success. The
police quite refused to believe that
notes so perfect had been produced
with means so inadequate, but the
photographer, touched in his artistic
pride. asked for his press. and going
to work in his cell, soon demonstrated
that it Is possible to be at once a
knave and fine artist And now in
Copenhagen the strange spectacle is
witnessed of forged bank notes for 10
kroner, worth nothing as money, sell
ing freely among connoisseurs for 80
kroner, as beautiful specimens of
photographers work.

In the estimation of the Progress
sive Farmer what the country needs
Is not to enrich a few men enormous
ly and then have them make princely
gifts to the people they have plum
Tered. Rather we need to give serious
attention to checking special privil-
eye and SO insure an equitable dis
tribution of wealth to begin with;
and no philanthropy" on the part of
our Croesuses should blind our eyes
to this fact.

The crusade in the interests of
American forests is commendable
from every point of view. The scien-
lists of the Government have now an
nounced that this country as a whole
consumed every year between three
and four times more timber than the
total forests of the United States
grow in that time. "After us the
deluge" has been the wanton motto
of our forest yandals. And the de-
LUCE has begun to descend annually
with great devastation upon Ameri-
can cities.

Remarks the New Orleans Pic
ayune: There is a lamentable lack
of confidence throughout this country
in public officials and their integrity.
and persons making such statements
should be require6 to establish their
truth. The general belief is that this
condition of affairs has resulted from
the corrupt practices of railroads in
their dealings with Legislatures, the
Congress and even with the Courts,
and it is intolerable that a railroad
magnate should boast of such a con-
dition of affairs"

Any man who seriously doubts the

Any man who seriously doubts the
supremacy of the English race may
be easily convinced of his error, as
serts the New York Tribune, by the
news that English courts are enforc-
ing newly passed anti-tipping law.
No other country in the world has
thus far proved it's ability to match
this moral courage of the British.
And to think that, at the same time,
the Londoners have abolished strap
hanging! Verify, in the English
moral world it never rains but it
pourS.

The Rabbit WEIGHED.

One day Willie's mother found her
young hopeful. holding his pet rabbit
by the ears. From time to time he
would give Bunny a violent shake
and demand sharply, Two plus
two? Two plus two?" or Three plus
three? Three plus three?"
why, Willie" asked his mother
with deep concern, what makes you
treat your poor little Bunny that
way?"
Well replied Willie, greatly dis
appointed, teacher told us in school

RufFaIo,s New Charter.

Capitalization of power is the pre-
vailing characteristic of the new char
ter being prepared for Buffalo, N. Y.
A single legislative body is provided
for, and besides the aldermen from
the various wards there will be only
three elective Offices, the mayor, the
controller and the president of the
board of aldermen. These three will
constitute a board of appointment
and elect all the heads of depart
ments, save those specially appointed
by the mayor. The mayor has great
er authority, and by so much is his
responsibility increased.
