A. Belo despatch of last night pays :
For several weeks past the police have been
searching for a gang of counterfeiters who
were known to be operating in this city.
They were located this morning on a popu-
lar West side street, in a hoose occupied by
Edward Spaulding, who is alumber by
trade. The boarders in the house were
Wilhbm Slattery, a book agent, and Mary
to have passed counterfeit money. Upon
siearching the rooms several newly-ooined
tee ;aro s.ieeee anal a not+iuuY' fir bogus
silver dolltire, together, with remade, diem,
metal, etc., were discovered and taken.
Slattery threw it Large iron spoon and a

he had mads` the money found, oleo that he

There ie more productive power, and

-decrease in the quantity of property. The
cause of poverty is the unequal and un-
fair distribution., of property, whereby
those wto create it obtain little of it and
those who handle it become possessed of
moat of it.

REV. DR. BIICHLEY.
Forty years ago"there was no need for
real poverty in the United States, except
in very few cases. taut with the advance
of civilization we have developed new
wants. Most of the things needful for the
poor have se be obtained by money. In
the country you oan get whatever you need
by barter, but in the city you cannot. This
shows that poverty is caused by lack of
money. Yet only those who do not work
lack money. • Paupers may be divided into
three classes. Those who will not work,
these who cannot work and those who
would work it they could get •it. ' Those
who will not or cannot work must beg,
steal or die. As for those who want work
and can's get it, from my soul I pity

gave the earth to any set of . men, who
thereby ,were to be able to 'become rich
by taking pretty much all therodnote of
labor." p
