ASTOUNDING REVELATIONS!

The World is a journal of astonishing enter
prise in gathering news with which every one
else was familiar day before yesterday, and
supplementng it with assertions that Will
not be true TO the end of time. Thus it has
actually discovered and proclaimed that The
TRIBUNE did its utmost to break the gold
gamblers CORNER" of Thursday and Friday,
Sept. 234, going so far as to urge Secretary
Boutwell, to smash it by selling gold All
this is true, but it is not quar-
ter of the truth. We urged this same
policy on Secretary McCulloch through
out the last two years of his public llfo-we
did all we knew how to prevent that accumu-
lation of gold in the Treasury which we re-
gard as tho handspring of all c0rnering,
bulling operations in the gold room; we have
ever regarded those who seek TO make gain by
exaggerating the difference between Gold and
Currency as public enemies of the same type
with though of different tactics from the
concocter of the forged Proclamation of
defeat by President Lincoln which got The
World into trouble; and we were pro-
foundy grieved that Secretary Boutwell,,
when the gambling bulls put up the price
of Gold to 40 last Spring, did not make
them pay for several Millions at or near that
rate; and we only regret what he did on that
memorable Friday, in so far as no failed to
make the bulls take and pay for Ten Millions
of gold, and as much more as possible, ut 80
or over. Had he sweetened them to that tune,
the country would no longer have been cursed
by their Vaccinations; and we trust he has
gained courage by his first easy victory to win
another more decisive and more gainful to the
Treasury whenever they try again. What he
did was admirable; but it is merely an
inkling of what he might and should have
DONE
Let The World understand. once for all. that
we are not, and never were, Impartial be-
tween those who conspire to derange the Cur
rency and thus paralyze Business and their
opponents-that every plot or continuance
which leads away from Resumption will en-
counter our prompt and stern resistance. We
do not know who arc the gold bears in
Wall street, and have never had q thought of
collision with them; but, if they are fighting
on our side of the Currency question, they may
count on our help every time

FINANCE MdDE EASY.

Sam, who is an unusually intelligent contra
band, proposes to induct his simple crony Cuff
into the mysteries of Wall-street in six easy
lessons. Here is the first:
Sam.-Suppose you buy Ten Millions Of
gold
CuF-Not Ten Million Dollars, you don't
mean
Sam.-O dry up You do MT know nothing,
and won't keep still while teach you. Sup
pose you buy Ten Millions of gold at $50 up
to 100, and sell as much at 40 to 15O how
much do you makei
Cuf-How can tellq I never heard of so
much money. But / should think / ID be q
heap out of pocket
Sam.-That's just yOm foolishness Now
learn something. You just Cont take the Ten
Millions you bought, settle with the other fell
lows at ten per cent and hav> One Million
clear gain.
Cuff (submissively).-YOu are, right, Sam

A case of no great importance in itself, but
one which may lead to good results, is now
before Judge Clerke. 1t seems that in
divorce suit, heretofore reported, lawyer
named Orson A. House has INDUCED in certain
practices not consistent with regular business.
and the Judge orders him to show cause why
he should not be disgraced by being stricken
from the rolls of the Court. The high character
of Judge Clerke is sufficient assurance that the
case is one of gravity. We do not propose
to discuss the action of the offending lawyer ];
but we heartily welcome any movement that
tends toward relieving the bar and the Courts
from herd of irresponsible and charactcress
vagabonds, who make justice a synonym for
plumber, and bring disgrace upon profession
that should hold its honor above the faint OF
suspicion.

There was a time when if physician did
not keep his carriage patients, or those at
least of the Weather sort, had but little con-
fdence in bis prescriptions. But we learn from
The Boston Journal that many of the most
respectable doctors of that city are giving up
their gigs, and are using the street railways.
1t was found that thieves ran away with the
equipage or parts of it, when it was left un-
guarded in the street. But worse than this,
science also discovered that going about
cramped in gigs impaired the powers of
locomotion and seriously affected the ex-
tremties" of the doctors. SO, like sensible
sons of Hippocrates, they have abandoned
their old vehicles, walking when they can
walk, and riding when they must in public
vehicles. This will be great relief to young
doctors with slim purses and simmer practice

read that noted lmember of that fraternity

The details of the calamity at the Indiana
State Fair, given in another column, forcibly
suggest one or two questions. Was there any
necessity for placing a boiler where its explo-
sion could kill or main nearly hundred per-
sons 2 Cannot the power to drive machinery
be conveyed from a boiler distant at least q
hundred feet from the crush and tlIOng OF a
public exhibition7 Ours is prominently the
country of boiler explosions. 1t is only where
our State laws enforce rigid inspection that
such accidents become rare. The framed GER
tifcate that is displayed on every passenger
steamboat is q badge of protection but
why should this be confined to steam
boats Why not follow up the boiler of
every steam engine by suitable inspection from
the hands of the maker to its final destruction 7
Anybody at present may purchase an old
boiler, patch it up, place it under sidewalk
or in a building, and fire up. Perhaps the
owner has an intelligent engineer perhaps not.
A rough guess is made as to how many pounds
the thing will stand, and the safety valve is
weighted accordingly. That legislative inter
ference which is the horror of an American is
rarely applied to steam and yet there are more
people killed by its explosions, in times Of
peace, than by gunpOwder.
