“Truth above all things.”
FRIDAY, MARCH 11. 1892. .
[Entered at the Post Office as a Newspaper]
Come Near to the People.
The recommendations and suggest-
ions of the county seat postmastcrs,
who recently submitted their reports to
- the Postmaster General, after visiting
the offices in their counties are now
being considered 1n all their details by
the different bureaus of the depart
ment. The reports from the countv—
seat postmasters generally had letters
accompmanying them and emphasizing
the 0st important suggestions.
These letters were referred to d1fi'e1ent
bureaus. Of the 2,- 900 postmasters who
made visits, fully two- thirds made sug-
gestions. These included recommen—
dations about the discontinuance and
establishment of Offices, the curtailment
01 increase of star- route service, and
changes in a few cases where post-
mast-ms seemed undesirable In such
matters as the posting of anti-letter V
law and the supplying of instruction4
in the keeping of accounts, etc. , the
recommendations were of cour se c111 ried
- into effect personally; but 1n the larger
changes in the service reference to the
proper bureau of the department was
necessarily bad. This work is now
going on, and every one of the hun-
dreds of suggestions made is follow ed
up until it is carried out or found im-
possible to carry it out.
—-.O.
The Grumman Case.
The more this matter is investigated
the more ridiculous it seems. The brave
owners of the nickel-in-thc-slot ma—
chines find that their loud challenge
that no one could beat the machine had
been successfully met, invoke the arm
of the law to restore the bala;nce they
display the spirit of the whimpering
schoolbo7: “If vou hit me, I’ll tell
teacher.‘ Instead of owning up that
they 11 ere squarely met on their own
ground, they run squalling to the Gov-
ernment, and get it to take up their
quairel. Whether they will succeed 1n
convicting the accused is doubtful; it
will be simply a question of fact- tr iablc
before a jury. The rule to testcoun-
feiting is substantially this: “It must
be base or spurious. and its resemblance
to the genuine mus. be so close as to
be likely to deceive a person using or—
dinaiy caution.’ Another writer says '
“ The moneys charged to be counter
feited must resemble the true and law-
ful coin, but this is amatter of fact, of
which the jurya are to judge upon the
evidence before them, the rule being
that the resemblance need not be per-
feet, but such as may in circulation or
dinarily impose upon the world.”
In short, the spirit of mischief ran
through the whole transaction, and
nothing else. Unless the Government
develops stronger evidence than that
already pr esented, its looks as if an or-
dinary jury with any sense of humor
would look upon the complaint as far-
cial in character. No jury. inview of
all the cir cumstanccs, would magnifva
piece of pure mischief into a crime,
and as the facts deve10p it is marvel-
lous that the. government ofiicials “lent
themselves as cats’-paws to the phono-
graphgmen.
——-.Q.
The Embezzlement Business.
That the new extradition treaty with
Canada has not tended to diminish the
crime of embezzlement is made quite
plain by the returns for the year 1801.
The Chicago Tribune has prepared a
very complete report on this grade of
crime, and. while it would be impossi-
ble to secure an estimate on every case,
it is safe to assume that the Tribune’s
figures are below rather than above the
total.
According to the Tribune the total of
recorded defalcations for the year 1891
amounts to $19,720,294, or nearly two
and three-tenths times the total of 1890.
If the actual total could be arrived at
t is thought that it would be as high as
$25,000,000, or an average of 40 cents
101' every inhabitant of the United
States lost by men who abused the
' trust reposed in them by others. These
figures arenot only alarming, but the
remarkable increase is not at all reas-
suring to business men who are coni-
pelled to depend on employes in matters
in which large sums are involved.
There are all kinds of plans proposed
and in operation to place a check on
this alarming increase of crime, but the
record for the year 1891 doesn’t speak
well of their efficiency. It is very like.
ly that a more thereugh investigation
of the embezzlements of the country
would show that the mania for stock
speculation is responsible for a large
A percentage of this class of dishonestv.
The reform that will remove the tempta-
tion to get rich inn hurry will be the
most effective that can be adopted; but,
unfortunately, it has not yet been dis-7
covered.

of the First Society,” there passed with
that gift an obligation to maintain and

show proper respect for the honored
dead who lie buried there. Has this
been done?

But One Way.
Referring to the disingenuous and un-
friendly policy of Lord Salisbury in
the Behring Sea affair, the Tribune
thinks that the United States can stop
this performance in either of two ways,
by sending vessels to Behring Sea to
seize and confiscate the ships engaged
in poaching upon our property, or it
can make its purpose and power felt
by refusing to Canadian railways the
special privileges which keep them
alive. 3
We respectfully submit that there is
but one way to meet the issue and that
is the direct and straightforward way.
A schoolboy is said to have told another
that if he couldn’t lick him he could
make faces at his little sister.
United States is not a schoolboy and it
does not need to resort to making
aces. The dispute with Great- Bratian
relates to the sealing privileges ‘ 1n
Behring Sea, which we purchased from
Russia and which England now pro-
poses to steal. There would be no dig-
nitv in threatening to starve the Cana-
dian railroads unless England stops
bullying us." ,
These privileges either belong to the
United States 01' they are the common
property of the world. If they be ours,
let us say so and let us hold them at all
cost.‘ Lord Salisbury has furnished
more than a suflicient justification fOr
withdrawing from the agreement to
arbitrate, and we should lose no time
in withdrawing. ‘ We should return to
the secure ground of our rights and
stand there. The United States can-
not afford to have one policy for Chili
and another for England.
NEWS FRO‘NI ALBANY.
Mr. Hustcd Thinks New York’s Fair Ap-
propriation Should Be $500,000.
ALBANY, March ll.—~The governor has
signed the following laws: Authorizing the
treasurer of Niagara county to sell certain
property for taxes; authorizing the state
board of claims to audit and make award in
the claim of John Smith; amending the
charter of Flushing, L. I., in reference to
taxation for certain purposes; amending the
charter of Cooperstown, Otsego, county;
providing for the boundaries of the Fort
Washington Ridge road in the city of
New York; amending chapter 365 of l(‘he
civil code; the Clinton prison appropriation
act; amending the annexation act by which
Morrisania and‘King’s Bridge were annexed
to New York in reference to e npt fire-
men.
In the senate the committee on roads and
bridges reported favorably Senator Rich-
ardson’s state road bill providing for the
building of transverse roads through the
state. Mr. Richardson’s bill to incorporate
the Callicoon Bridge company, to build a
bridge over the Delaware river, was passed.
In the assembly the anti-Pinkerton bill
came up for concurrence in the senate
amendments. I'vlr. Busted moved to fur-
ther amend, providing that the same ex-
emption made in relation to race tracks
shall also apply to county and state fairs.
Mr. Eusted‘s amendment was finally ruled
out and the senate amendments were con-
curred iii—1’15 to 10.
When the ways and means committee re-
ported thc World’s fair bill Mr. Husted said
that at a meeting of the ways and means
committee ‘.Vedncsday. the appropriation
was raised to $500,001). He now understood
it was reported at $300,000. The change
must have been made at a subsequent meet-
ing of the committee at which he was not
present. He gave notiée that when the bill
came up on third reading he should move to
make the appropriation $500,000. The bill
was restored to its place on the calendar
without further debate. The Sunday clos-
ing clause remains in the bill. The commis-
sioners are authorized to provide with ap-
propriate ceremonies for the commemora-
tion within the state Oct. 12, 1892, of the
400th anniversary of the discovery of Amor-
1011.
