The appropriation recom
mended to run West Virginia for
1H93 and 1894 amount to about
$700,000 for each year. Let 'er
CO gallaher! The peoplo seemed
to want Democracy and what
does it matter if it comes high?
Gov. Tillman, of South Caro
lina. who thought he was a big
ger man than either Judgo Goff
or Judge Simon ton, of the United
States Court, lias concluded to
chango his opnion.?N. Y. Mall
ami Expremt.
The talk of lowering the taxa
tion in West Virginia is all 'or
?fleet. Nothing will como of it
Look at the report of the appro
priation committee, published to
day in this paper, and behold the
Democratic idea of economy. A
bill to reduce taxation was offered
some time ago in order to get
the people of the State to think
ing that this Democratic Legisla
ture wanted to take some of the
burdens off the people?but it's
all for effect. The people will
continue to have tho pleasure of
hearing Democratic" politicians
preach economy and seeing them
practice extortion.-State Journal.
Mr. Henry Waterson wants
every shred of protection weeded
out from the Tariff immediately.
TheDemocraticnational platform
takes the same ground and
Grover Cleveland stands on it.
But here comes a leading Demo
cratic journal, the Cincinnati En
quirer, saying:
it is claimed by certain ex
tremists that the duty on every
manufactured article should go
with the repeal of the duty on its
raw materials. We have no
?ympathy with that doctrine. If
such a policy was enforced at
once it would prostrate many im
portant industries, and drive
those engaged intnem into bank
ruptcy and ruin. To do so would
bring disasters upou the country
which would annihilate the party
responsible for them,
Mr. Cleveland, although ac
cused of it, has never proposed
any such folly. The Democracy
has never proposed to ruu the
plowshare of destruction through
any of our manufacturing indus
tries, butwould encourage, foster
and enlarge their boneticence.
The Democracy of Mr. Cleve
land's school look to a reduction
of taxes, the removal of heavy
burdens from the shoulders of
the industrial classes, the re
striant of greed encouraged by
unjust taxation, the destruction
of trusts and combinations
"brought into existence by pro
hibitory imposts. They seek to
promote the interests of the en
tire population, producers and
?consumers, those who supply
raw materials as well as those
engaged in converting them into
articles of utility. Because of
their hostility to class legislation,
and of their advocating the equal
rights of all, and the granting of
special privileges to the few,
they are accused of being the
enemies 01 American industry.
The changes in our tariff sys
tem must be gradual. If the
changes are affected by wise
statesmanship itwilljresultmthe
preservation and encouragement
of all our industries and in every
?way promote the general good.
How strange! The Democratic
orators were afraid last fall that
the people could not live until
the wicked tariff was put out of
existence. Are the Democrats
afraid of their platform?
THE CRIMINAL
Career Of An AU-Around
Swindler.
HE MADE VICTIMS IN ALL
Paris of the United Mate*.
For the Tklkoram.]
He used the mails in the furtherance
ef a fraudulent scheme.
Such, in brief, is what landed Harry
A. rierdman. with seveu different
aliases. in the Indiana penitentiary,
north. The full story of this man's
way of doing business and the manner
in which his arrest was effected has
never been published.
The operations of Ucrdmon extend
all over the country. Not confined to
one city or state, but the north, cast,
south and west can furnish an abnn*
dance of evidence. Thousands of poor,
unsuspecting victims in search of em*
ploy men t did he fleece. The aggregate
amount of his swindling is not known,
but, judging from the list of his victims
found In his valise, he surely netted sev
eral thousand in the few months he
was in the business.
Daring tho early part of 1803 Herd
man devised a grand scheme which
would net him handsomely without la
bor and with a very small capital. His
first scheme launched on the market
was the " Western Furniture company,
of Englewood, 111/' He ordered a larce

As tho "manager of a branch ofllce"
would make collections it would be
supply of letter paper with a very in
viting business card printed thereon
purporting to be manufacturers of fine
furniture. He next inserted in all the
leading papers in all the leading cities
all over the country an advertisement
for a bookkeeper, manager of branch
office, clerk, salesman and men to fill
other oqually attractive clerical posi
tions. Of course he received hundreds
of answers. To these replies he would
send a hektographic circular letter. In
order t. show the magnitude of his
scheme it will bo necessary to give this
letter in full as it was sent out. This
letter read as follows:

As will be seen every person who re
plied was accepted on the condition
ho fill out the bond which was
inclosed, and return the same to
the "National Guarantee company,"
who were located in Rooms 7-11,
No. 188 and 190 South Clark street,
Chicago, III., "together with a fee of
ten dollars." After doing this he would
hear nothing further from the Western
Furniture company nor the Ouuranbee
company. This application for the bond
was drawn up in a business-like way.
Itpurportcd that the company had a
cash capital of 1100,000 and that W. Ii.
llaync was president and II. 8. Seovillc
secretary, ilcrdman, in person, was
the president, secretary and everything
else connected with these two conccrns.
No Western Furniture company existed,
only in the imagination of this man.
Nor was there a National Guarantee
company, of Chicago. One was as
mythical as the other. Ilerdman's ob
ject was to get the ten dollars. After
once obtaining this he paid no further
attention to inquiries from the same
source. At one time there was a con
cern in Chicago doing business under
the name of tho Western Furniture
company, but they assigned On the
reputation established by this house
I Herd man practiced his deception. It
| was thought by many, no doubt, that
; the old firm had revived and started up
under a new management.
A short time after starting his first
game he saw a good thing in it, anil
branched out into another schcme on
about the same swindling order. He
rented an office at Toledo. O., and or
dered a good supply of letterheads pur
porting to be the superintendent of col
lections for the American Credit com
pany, of New Yorkl In this he gara
the name of M. V. B. Stewart, superin
tendent. To understand the nature of
ihis second grand schcinc it will be nec
essary to peruse "Circular 23," which is
published here in detail and. is as fol
lows:

! necessary to furnish a bond with some
first-class surety company/ Personal
bonds would not bo accepted. To this
end they had arranged for special terms
with the Anglo-American Surety Co.,
of Windsor, Canada, which, the appli
cation stated, had a cash capital of
$100,000. These rates were six dollars
as first payment for a 81,000 bond, the
amount required. As in the first
scheme the entire aim was to get! the
price for the bond. After that-no word
would Iks had from either concern. II.
,A. Hanson was the secretary^ of this
latter surety company. Many letters
?were received *t Windsor addj&ssed to
Ifatison, also to the <:ompa,n>y "-Timse
were permitted to accumulate for a
jfew weeks, when Herdman w/nild call
at Windsor for the mail or order it for
warded to some address in the states.
I Throughout. Canada he was known un- j
icier the name of John Wood ?nd W. C.
Milton.
Several weeks after flerdraati's
scheme had been set in motion com
plaint reached Capt. James E. Stuart, j
inspector in charge at Chicago, of his
crooked dealings through the mails. It j
developed that the Western Furniture j
company had rented a post office box at
Engl ewood. III. There was no such I
furniture company at this place, conse- j
qucntly their advertising was fraudu
lent. They remained there liut a short j
time and when they left requested all !
mail be forwarded to Toledo, O. This
matter was then referred to [[Chief |
Ucarss, of the Cincinnati division, who \
detailed Inspector Lawrence Lether
man on the case. i
By chance Post Office Inspector
Letherman learned that a person by
that name had been arrested at Indian- j
apolis, lnd.. for cruelly beating his wife,
j to whom he had been married but a
short time. Letherman took the next
train for Indianapolis. On his arrival
there he found that Herdman had
1 pleaded guilty, was fined, paid the same
and was alxmt to quit the room once
. more a free man. .lust as he stepped
out Inspector Lethcrtunn tapped him
on the shoulder, saying he wanted him
j for using the United Stales 'mails in a
S scheme to defraud. This was on May
: -Hi. last. Herdman accompanied the in
spector. and after a hearing before the
| United States commissioner was taken
. to jail to await the action of the grand
| jury. By this lutter lx>dy ho was in
