THE PROFESSIONAL FORGER Mr. Robert A. Pinkerton contributes to the current North American Review a very interesting instructive article upon forgery as a profession, in which he details with some minuteness the procedure prac- ticed by a gang of professional forgers and suggests a remedy which, in his opinion, would make the pursuit of the “profession’ an extremely hazardous one. There is no more skiliful criminal in the world than the American forger, and his success in keeping out of the clutches,of the law encourages others to attempt to imitate him. The forgery evil has become of late years so widespread that some determined repressive measures must soon be adopted. According to Mr. Pinkerton’s account, the professional forger neveF acts by himself. There s always a well organized gang be- hind him, so that only the accomplices run the risk of standing forth to the public view. Of the proceeds of the enterprise a regular basis of division Is agreed upon in advance The backer or capitalist who furnishes the necossary funds and defrays the expenses of the workers and the forger who manipulates the commercial paper together get from 50 to 60 per cent. They act in each Instance through a middleman or go-between, who employs the men t& “present” the forged paper and the man who is to shadow the “presenters,” the latter seldom having even the privilege of an acqualntance with the principals in the business. Each gots a per- centage of the profits after expenses have been deducted, according to the risk which the execution of his part of the program must encounter. If any one Is caught it is usually the “‘presenter,” and every resource at the command of the gang Is exploited to rescue him or to lighten his punishment. Ho rarely informs upon his associates and even when he does do 0 the employment. of ex-convicts for this part of the work insures that his testimony will have little welght unless strongly supported.

Mr. Piukerton insists that the only way to deal with the question is to make the punishment of forgery certain and as relentless as the punishment for counterfeiting.

So far the army under the im- mediate command of Coxey has not de- veloped the numerical strength that was promised when the movement was inaugu- rated, and the indications are that if it ever reaches Washington it will be a far less formidable force than its organizer pre- dicted. Its largest acquisitions, however, will probably be obtained as the army gets nearer to the national capital, unless the reported determination of the Washington police department to make a rigid applica- tion of the vagrancy law has a deterrent eftect. Still it is to be expected that the army will be largely reinforced as it gets closer to the seat of government and very command of be expected toward its Coxey having Iikely by a class of recruits that will not improve its character. Other armies are moving from the south and west at a slow pace and under many difficulties, but the leaders are showing a spirit of determina- tion that may enable them to get through with at least a remnant of their followers. It is quite possible that will counter trouble than has yet with before he gets to his destination.

From the mere standpoint of merchanism the step from the fac simile of the first number issued in 1844, with its four- column folio filled With local adverticements, a few editorials, correspondence by courier and the latest news from BEurope just arrived by a vessel that was seventeen days out, to the great twenty-two-page edition, replete with telegraphic news from the entire world, set up on linotype machines and printed from sterotype plates by a perfecting press, the step is ofie that can with dificulty be appreciated by the newspaper reader of today. The advance in the character and influence of the Republican been no less mdrked than the advance of ‘the community which it represents. It has from the first been a powertul factor for the good and a menace to evil and its promise of uscfulness is still as great as ever. We extend our congratula- tiong to the Republican on this aucpicious ocecasion, Actor Henry Irving acknowledges that he is loath to leave the United States, and hopes to return soon.

Here is a privilege granted with reciprocal duties imposed.

Mollie Pitcher of revolutionary fame fired a cannon at the British.” But what of that? Will any rational person con- tend that the exceptional cases cited econsti- tute the element upon which this govern- ment could depend to uphold and defend itself against domestic trouble and foreign invasion? How was it that the elective franchise was acquired by man and withheld from woman The right of suffrage was acquired by the founders of this republic when they van- quished the British in the war for inde- pendence. They acquired the right of suf- frage by their ability to maintain their free dom. There is where manhood suffrage originated. Those who cannot defend the flag and compel obedience to our laws have no right to force upon us laws which they cannot uphold and enforce. The cartridge box and ballot box must go hand in hand. TAXATION AND REPRESENTATION. The advocates of woman suffrage insist that taxation without representation s tyranny, and cite the revolutionary war as a precedent for the claim that by rights women are entitled to vote because they are taxed, This assnmption is fallacious. The revolt of the American colonies against the mother country was because they had been denied equal representation in Parliament with other citizens of their class, meaning tax- payers. In Great Britain the electoral fran- chise was enjoyed exclusively by taxpayers up to a comparatively recent period. The denial of parliamentary representation to the taxpaying colontes was therefore a violation of the fundamental principle of the British monarchy. Is that the rule of our govern- ment? Are taxation and representation the bedrock upon which the pillars of the republic have been reared? I maintain that the principle of property qualification was repudiated by the founders of the republic when the federal constitu- tion was framed and adopted. We do not tax men or women, but we tax property. Property is capital and capital is simply the product of labor. Property is taxed to pay for the cost of protecting men and women in their natural rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happlness. According to the supreme court of the United States the pur- suit of happiness is the right of every per- son to become the owner of property—in other words the fnalienable right which men and women have alike to the pursuit of happiness is the right to cnjoy the fruits of their labor. Taxation, therefore, is simply a premium paid by the owners of property for the protectlon of their persons in its use. This premium or tax Is paid by corporations and aliens as well as by voters, but nobody contends that corporations and allens, because they are taxed, should have the right to vote. The man or woman who pays a premium to insure his or her house or personal property against fire is by no means entitled to tuke part in the manage- ment of the insurance company. The doc trine I maintain is that if taxation consent, corporations and aliens are taxed without their consent. What part have they In the government? In this free land of ours the poorest man who has no place to lay his head Is the peer of the millionaire politically; both are alike subject to jury duty and police duty in times of peace and military duty in times of war. Oh, but eripples and men who a to go to war still vote, don't they That is true, but the percentage ples Is very small and the old men Ject to ription between the ages of 18 and 45 are subject to jury duty, when in good health, umtil the day of their death. We are told by the visionaries who advo cate equal suffrage that at tho threshold of the twentieth century force is no longer necessary for malntaining governments.

In Utah Brigham Young gave them the ballot but they were either too timid or tao sub servient to assert themselves and upheld polygamy, notwithstanding they outnum- bered the male voters as seven to one Woman suffrage has been dominant in | Wyoming for a quarter of a century and yet, Wyoming has nothing to boast of morall or financially over the neighboring state where women do not vote. Vice and crime are just as rampant, if not more in Wyoming and the liquor traffic fourishes just as much with women In possession of the ballot as it ‘does where they are ex- cluded. The only difference equal suffrag has made in Wyoming is to increase the number of voters and maka the elections more expensive and corrupt. The bad women have to be bought as well as the venal men. When women can change their physical con- stitution it will be time enough to engraft woman suffrage upon your constitution. E. ROSEWATER, Omaha, March 28, 1594, . SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT.
