AN DNNOTJCED DEFALCATTON.

II it were not for the fact that the Union
Trust Company is just now wrestling with
larger trouble the defalcation of one of its
prominent servants would be considered a
startling and mOmentOus event. AS 1T is.
enough of the facts in the case to show its
flagrancy have come out. 1t was only little
while ago that the father of young Carlton
was defendant in a case not unlike this, and
the sharpest criticism then made on the man
agement of the Methodist Book Concern was
that no private business corporation would Sc
dare to smother investigation, nor be so de-
relict in ordinary business vigilance. Yet
here is great monetary institution which has
taken into its employment, in position OF
absolute trust and great power, young man
who comes of bad stock and was known to be
engaged in stock gambling,
VIII men never learn One would suppose
that the recent and oft-repeated instances OF
trust betrayed and easy virtue corrupted by
unnecessary exposure to temptation, had been
so prominently commented on that managers
Of large trust funds would hesitate at giving
their employees unlimited opportunity for
theft and embezzlement. But they do not.
The lesson of the two or three ruined savings
banks and other monetary institutions seems
to be quite lost. The Secretary Of the Union
Trust Company did not mean to steal; nor
did Paymaster Hodge; both of these gentlemen
only borrowed" money that did not belong to
them. They used it on the Street, OF lent it
to their friends, who did not pay. There was
only one end possible to this trickery; it was
discovery, ruin, and fight. The Directors OF
the Union Trust Company had no right to
leave the cash of their depositors in the hands
of Mr.. Carlton, as they did, knowing that he
was a Spectator and ck-gambler; and,
while they are struggling with the problem OF
resumption, we hope they will face this ques-
ton: What is the measure of our accounta-
bility to the widows, orphans, guardians, ana
custodans of trust funds whose money has
been stolen while we have neglected it

THE THUNDERERn ON BRANDY AS a
SpECIFTC

An Earnest Friend of THE TRIBUNE"
writes us that we have missed great Oppor-
tunity. He thinks we should have discOv-
cred and proclaimed specific for the present
crisis, and "thundered our advice and cOun-
." seln in the style that he imagines The Lon
don Times to adopt in similar emergencies.
Our friend is equally in error in his estimate
of our accomplishments and of those of The
London Times. We have enough to do to dis
eliminate between good and bad in times OF
such confusion. The Bank of England in a
panic does not wait for advice from The
Times. Nor does it postpone action until the
Chancellor of the Exchequer suspends the act
of 1Si4 that is to say, grants permission to
the Bank to initiate the currency by
issuing its notes in violation of law which
requires every dollar of paper above certain
fixed sum to be the representative of dollar
in coin in the vaults of the Bank. The sus-
pepsion of the Bank act is the last resource
of the British public-not the first. The Bank
in time of panic uses its reserve and dis
counts freely, refusing loans to no one who
brings good security. The Bank of England,
unlike our banks, never would have permitted
n great deposit and discount company to go
to the wall by refusing to lend money on the
security of consols. The Union Trust Com
pany would have Jared better in London than
it has in New-York-so long, at least, as its
United States bonds held out.
But concerning the question of initiation and
the present duty of the Government, THE
TRIBUNE holds identically the same position
that The London Times held in 1857 and holds
now. We have taken pains TO look into this
matter and perhaps our friend may recognize
a resemblance to what TUE TRIBUNE has

shall assume the District indebtedness, a large
part of which is also fraudulent. And it is
pretty well understood that an effort was to
ment guarantee for the bonds of the North
erD Pacific Railroad.
The chances of these schemes are now con-
siderably lessened, and if any of them are
brought forward at Washington we trust they
may receive decided quietus People will
be chary for some time to come of assuming
any debts that they can possibly throw of A;
and these are obligations which we ought not
under any circumstances to take upon our
Shoulders

4 LESSON IN SQUARE DEALING.

The one incident of the Panic which caused
the most painful impression was the suspen-
sion of the Union Trust Company. The con-
Germ was supposed to be immensely strong.
1t had a large capital and very heavy sur
plus; it was understood to do safe business,
lending money only on the best securities and
having 10 dealings with wildcat railway
bankers and the more reckless gamblers OF
the Exchange. Its failure to meet
the demands of its depostOrs indi-
Gated therefore serious financial disorder,
and was likely to spread dismay and confusion
in all quarters. Fortunately Wall Street has
begun to recover its self possession, and the
effect of the Trust COmpany's suspension has
not been so serious as it threatened to be-
We may well feel some anxiety however to
know what causes brought us SO near great
monetary disaster. In time of panic OF
course any institution may be ruined. But
why should the Union Trust Company have
fallen when so many weaker houses stand I'M
injuredR
The defalcation of Carlton Will not account
for it. The true cause was the loan OF NIL
lion and three-quarters to the Lake Shore
Railroad to enable that concern to pay tcti-
tious dividend. A company which bOrrows
money to pay dividends which it has
not earned is naturally not in cOndi-
ton to refund the loan on demand; and
so the Trust Company had to suspend.
If the railroad had observed the good
old rule of not spending its income be-
fore it got it, the crash would have been
averted. How many other railroads are divid-
ing imaginary earnings on the same ruinous
system2

millions which he will need between now and

We might form some opinion az to the prob
ability of his selling gold, if we had any means
of knowing what the Treasury coin bal
ance really is. Nothing Is more GER
tain than that the Treasury has been
accommodating gold all this month,

We certainly believe the statement OF the
Goth to be nearer the truth than that OF the
18Th but after the most liberal allowances for
distortion either way on account OF book
keeping, and cutting off twenty millions for
bonds which may be presented for pay
ment within the next two months, the
Secretary has it still in his power
to sell from ten to twenty millions OF gold
between now and the close OF the year,
though only at the risk of breaking down the
gold premium. But this must not be for
gotten: if he keeps on and uses ten millions
more of his currency in buying bonds than
we have supposed he will, the sum which VIII
rest at his discretion to use In initiating
the paper currency or breaking down the gold
premium, and can use in no other way, Will be
thirty million dollars instead of twenty. Inc
few merchants who are in favor OF the Ad-
ministration's issuing forty millions in green
backs for temporary relief may now judge
what sort of a bull they are leading into their
china shop.
