| NEw YORK, Aug. 80
| The Kctchum excitement has been revived
By the re-appearance In public of tho leading
character in the play. A single scene In tho
second act Is worthy of note. The young vii
lain talks with the utmost sang. .frofd Of his
forgcries and their result, and speaks Of the
money obtained on the forged certificates a.
his "lfab1ities." He looks upon this money
Us be would look upon the sa,no amount bor.
rowed in the most legitimate manner. He
| says all would have been paid II he had been
1 let alone and had not met With i'll 1uck. The
parties whom he has swindled nre amazed at
the GOODNESS and self possession with which he
discusses the financial transactions in which
they are so deeply interested.
ANEW MORALITY IN WALL STREET.
These yicws arc not entirely those OF Ed
ward 3. Ketchum. To certain extent they
are the views Of Wall street, aud based on
&k1,titnt1,1on nfc A
ber OF the men who stand we'll on change BE-
lleve most sincerely, because 1t Is their inter-
est 60 to believc, That any short corner can he
turned legitimatcly when It can be done With
safety. It Is frequently the case TINT forged
paper is deposited as collateral with the ex-
press stipulation that It shall not be placed In
the market. Sometimes the party who re-
ceives It suspects Its character, hut be does
not throw II aside On that account. The man
who presents It Is In good standing, and has
sufficient assets to meet all liabilities. Of
forged paper going on the market and max
Ing an unpleasant exposure. He Is particular
to meet his engagements when they become
due, and the world Is none the wiser. I have
the authority Of 9. retired dnancler for the
aboFc statement. Young Ketahum attnnptcd
tunatc. under @ LIQUID 0nancial views" be
can moi. see anything wrong in his recent
trnnsactions. VIII Ketchum be Ketchcd2 Is
question that must unfortunately be an~
swcrcd In the negative. The man who has
forgery IN The third degree, receive tho light
est penalty affixed to the crime, and be par
doned within twelvemonth. In two years
from this day,Tif his health Is unImpaircd, I
predict he will again be In good standing On
Wall street.
orR rIRE DEPARTMENT
Is progressing slowly, There are many obsta.
c1es In the way Of Its success, one OF which
i the great difference Of opinion among the
Of proceeding. One Of the morning papers
abuses the Board because It sent delegation
to study the fire departments Of provincial
elties," and augrily asks Il the metropolis Gun
not take care ef itself: Speaking fo5 the me,
must acknowledge that tie hitter hare the
advantage. The fire department Of Chicago
Is far noEc efficient In every particular than |
that of New York, md the same mRy be said |
Of the fire departments Of st. Louis and Gin |
cnnatt- The metropolis can learn much from /
York a kindness, and confer lasting benefit |
on the inhabitants, please invite its aldermen,
common councilmen and all other city officials \
to pay you visit. Show them what the Gar
den City has done, what she Is and what abe
promises. Unless they arc utterly blind, both
prepared Ito to beneat G % thislttie Island of Maahat-
tan: By the way, protest as a Journalist
against this calling Of cities outside Of New
York, "provinciaf." You arc a. much metro
polItan as We, eren If you do not ait by the
eeaboard aud record murders and defalcations
guish New York from the other great cities Of
America, cannot discyver much gound for
exu1tatiqu.
ONE GOOD THING r. NAZARETH.
Good has come out of evil in the Ketchum
affair. The Evening Exchange has long been
under condemnation by the best Of our citi-
.ens As II the hours Of daylight did not af-
ford sufficient time for detrauding each other,
the men Of Wall street extended their specu-
lations into the night. From 10 q. N. tili S
p. m., and from p. m. to nearly midnight,
The traffic In gold and stocks was continued.
To the Evening Exchanges billiard and drink
ing saloon was attached, and there were club.
houses aud "prctty walter.girl" establish
mcnts in the Immediate vicinity: A large
Exchange aourished. A cry arose from the
families and mistresses Of tho brokers and
speculators. They believed In "eveningB at
homc,'' and implored the sterner seI to lay
aside business with the setting OF the sun
The Herald became the champion Of the wo-
change bo broken up. About the same time
the Ketchum frauds were made public, and it
was shown that many of kctchum's heavy
were made at the Evening Board.
The Stock and Gold Exchanges passed q vote
TO c1pel any member who dealt directly or
was accomplished. Hereafter there will be
no evening transactions to record.
