THE y1RKET PRICE or HONESTY.

The strongest argument which the supporters
of the increase of salaries can find is that the
better you pay a public servant the less he is
likely to steal This argument, we think, has
no foundation in fact, and even if it were true
in principle it would have no bearing upon
the question of the action of Congress in rails
ing its own pay. No one can regard that man
"a honest who steals to make himself 80. The
Congressman who says, either directly or by
implication, | am so constituted that if my
salary is not raised 1 shall steal, is not very
likely to refrain from stealing when the addi-
ton has been voted. No sharper ever yet
stopped swndling because he had been sue
cessful in it. To say that we must have
honest Congressman even if we have to double
their salaries every year, is as innocent as to
say, with the late Artemus Ward "a man
fought to keep out of debt even if he has to
"borrow money to do it,"
If q man is dishonest he will not be moro
inclined to keep his hands from picking and
stealing, on a salary Of ten thousand dollars,
than on one of five. If man is honest he is
no more likely TO steal on small salary than
on a large one. 70 deny this shows little
knowledge of human or political nature. 1t
is the men in responsible positions, men who
handle largo sums and receive large salaries,
who generally make the defaulterS and en-
bezzlers, and not the poor clerks whose pay
barely keeps soul and body together. The
officer who drives fast trotter is far more
likely to buy another with money not
his, than is the employee who goes on foot to
and from the Office and does his chiefs work
for a mere subsistence. Raising tho salaries
of the present race OF congressman
will not do anything TO raise their
moral standing. The strong probability
lies precisely the other way. We all know
the struggle which takes place in almost
every district in the United States whenever
the seat of a member of Congress becomes
vacant. In large majority of cases the
salary is the point at which most of the aspi-
rants aim. They are generally lawyers with
more leisure than briefs. TO whom $1,000 u
year ia more than they could reasonably hope
over To earn in their profession. In the larger

CASE TO MAKE IN EXAHPLE OF
The Stock Exchange did not act n moment
too soon in the Grnnell case. If stock brokers
are to get any accommodations from banks IF
indeed their business is to be relieved from
actual Outlawry, they must in self-defense
treat Grinnell s. Co. as outlaws. These
are the men who supervised the settle
ment of the Northwest corner" They
took out of the Street, in that outrageous
business, about seyenty-five dollars per share
in compulsory settlements, which were only
binding in honor, and which they enforced
with the haughtiest disregard of any consider
alton Of law, OF of any interest save their own
Now they turn around and repudiate the Obli-
CATION of honor, obedience to which by others
brought them millions, and leave every credi-
tor helpless, through their ingenious use OF the
law to facilitate their dishonesty.
There does not seem to have been the slight
est proYOcatOn for their course. Their
creditors were not pressing nor likely to press
them to sacrifice their stocks. There was 10
danger OF their being driven to the wall.
There was only danger OF thoir having, like
their rivals in business, to submit to
losses when they made them. To avoid

a litigation which locks up the stocks till
the crisis be past,-leaving their creditors to
break or struggle through as they may. There
is scarcely an act in the whole history of
Wall Street more dishonOrable; and Judge
Blatchford's friends will long find cause to
regret that, knowingly or otherwise, he suf-
fered himself to be used in it for kind of
work wherein Judge Barnard was of late
years the most prominent practitioner.
The banks will not be foolish enough to
overlook this case. If one of them ever makes
a loan of a dollar to any man concerned in
this disreputable business, it will deserve to
be treated exactly as the present Grinnell
creditors have been, and will get no sympathy
from anybody else. If there is to be any
obligation of honor among their customers,
they have need TO start black list OF those
who violate it,.

effect of uniting all shades of Republicans
The MOnarchists thus far have kept their
councils very well, although it is probable
that an effort will be made when the National
Assembly meets again, to proclaim monarchi-

The Senate Committee to report modifica-
tons in the present system of choosing a
President of the United States find difficulties
at the beginning of their labOrs. The Com
mittee yet lack organization but the con-
versation of its members shows some of the
objections to popular election which are to
be met. 1t is generally admitted that some
tribunal must have power to decide on con-
tests arising in the electoral college; and that
some provision must be made for extraordinary
exigencies which might hinder the fulfillment
Of the constitutional provision that now COM
pels the casting of the electoral votes of all
the States on the same'day. These two points,
at least, are likely TO receive the immediate
attention of the Committee. 1t remains to be
seen if any practical plan for the populariza-
ton of Presidential elections can come from
the Senators who are bordering the subject.

No one saw in Steinway Hail. last night,
and no one will recognize in the full report of
the speech we print this morning, the mon
strous lneaments which some of the English
press give to Mr.. Charles Bradlaugh. With
many of the known opinions of this gentle
man we entirely disagree, but it would be
uncandid to deny that his opening address
was extremely striking and spirited, that its
general tone was careful and earnest, and
that in his references to his opponents he
displayed discretion and courtesy which they
might do well to initiate.

The provision of the treaty between the
United States and Japan, by which we engage
to act as a friendly mediator in such matters
of difference as may arise between Japan
and any European Power, should not be re-
garded as merely conventional phrase. The
clause is an unusual one in treaties OF COM
merce, and must be considered as binding our
Government to acts of more than ordinarily
friendly character Apart from our solemn
engagements, the progressive spirit, which now
prevails in Japan, and the preference which
has frequently been manifested there for
Americans and American institutions make 1t
especially desirable that, if requested, we
should render the japanese any services con-
sistently in our power. In the present
emergency, where rupture with Russia seems
probable, our opportunity is one which should
not be lightly disregaIded.
