CASHIER ADAMS GOES WRONG.
That honesty is the best policy even
George E. Adams, recently cashier of the
U. S. assay office, is now willing to admit,
and while honesty does not always bring the
same amount of luxury and comfort as does
dishonesty and questionable business meth
ods, yet honesty gives that ease of mind, soul
and conscience in a human being that is
worth a million times more than all of the
gold of the world dishonestly acquired, even
though you are never detected in the acts
of dishonesty by your fellow man. One who
is guilty of doing dishonest things must car
ry a burden day after day that, figuratively
speaking, must be heavier than the weight of
Mt. Rainier, for he or she must expect to be
detected at some time, and every time a fel
low being gets too near such fellow man is
suspected of being an officer of the law on
his trail.
The "400" of the city must have had fit
after fit this morning when they saw and
read in the morning paper that a leader of
their set was only a common thief. Had Ad
ams been content with small sums his pecu-i
lations might have run on for years without
detection. For an instance, had he been
willing to put up with $5,000 or $6,000 per
year he doubtless would have never been de
tected, but when his stealings reached the
enormous sum of $35,000 in one year then
he ought to have known that it was only a
question of time when he would be forced
to quit wearing diamonds and put on prison
stripes, as a more conspicuous personal or
nament.
Personally, George E. Adams was an ele
gant young man —pleasing and affable, and
made and had a great many warm friends.
No wonder such men as Jacob Furth and
M. F. Backus became his bondsmen, each
qualifying in the sum of $30,000, the amount
of the bond he had to furnish for his release
as soon as they heard of the trouble. When
he substituted black sand to keep up the
standard, which made the sacks tally in
weight, he showed that he was no slouch in
devising a way to get rich quick, that he
could pose as a society swell.

Charles Osner has been named by the Ger
mans of this city as a suitable person to elect
as one of the school directors. He is
vouched for by all the German-American
residents and he will doubtless make a good
run. There are a great many persons in
the city who are not satisfied with the pres-

next Saturday, December Ist. So disgusted
are many of the voters that they will vote for
even a Socialist, his horns to the contrary
notwithstanding, rather than vote for the

The Jews have every reason to believe that
the people of this nation, regardless of relig

freely from the gentiles in every large com

and no better proof has been given than dur
ing the past two weeks.—Catholic Progress.
