4 REFLECTION.

The following appeared, last evening, at the
head of the editorial columns of The Bro0kLyn
Union
Some months since there published in The
UniOn certain accounts OF Interviews with various
gentlemen, In which statements reported and
accredited, TO the effect that the circulation OF TIE
NEw-YORK TRIBUNE during several months prior to
such publication had diminished to great extent and
was still rapidly declining, with other statements
corning the motives OF Mr.. William orion for selling
out his purchase, and kindred matters Our informa
ton the time deemed Trustworthy, but, from in
quires since made, convinced that inform
ants were In We desire to express our regret
that the publications In question were made.
The publications thus explicitly Withdrawn
and retracted, land IN which The Union above
expains) that it was deceived, were to the last
degree malicious, alike in the time of their
appearance, and in the nature and variety of
SANDERS which they retaed. Their obvious
purpose was to seize upon the opportunity pre-
scented by Mr.. Greeley's death, to cripple and if
possible to ruin THE TRIBUNE, and thus,
among other consequences, to leave Mr.. Gree
leys orphan children without penny of pro-
ductive property. The time has gone by when
these wild ISLANDERS could work us further in
Jury, but we are glad to see them distinctly
Withdrawn and ap0logized for.

OF the largest that has been attracted to the Academy of

Mr.. James Jackson Jaryes prints in The In
dependent some remarks upon artists and critics,
in the course of which he says: ave Ameri-
cans began with oyer-coddling art Every
thing that appeared under its name was treated
as one pets pretty child, until it became
FESTIVE if fed with anything except sweets. A
wholesome truth made it maciously angry" All
which has much wider application than Mr.. Jarves
seems to give it. We have not only codded our
painters and our statuaries. but have encouraged
nonsense and pretensiOn in literature and on the
stage. Our actors have grown intolerant not merely
of oensure but Of sober criticism our singers are
and managers look upon 10 rs the chief duty of the
newspapers to help them along. We shall never
have vigorous art of any kind in America until we
have vigorous criticism.

lations of cordial brotherhood with their
American associates, before beginning the
serious work of the Conference.
Russian aggression in Asia is likely, it is
reDorted, to involve that nation in war with
japan. Russia has long since claimed the
island of Saghalen, lying north of the
japanese Empire, as part of its Amoor River
possessions. Its encroachments have been
gradual; and we believe that it is q matter of
record that the Russian Government once
asked permission to establish settlements for
its fishing and trading people along the shores.
The North German Government at one time
was also accused of intriguing for a foothold
upon the island; but it relinquished any claim
it may have advanced, and the Russians, since
the civil war in Japan, have been compare
lively undisturbcd. war between Russia
and Japan would be likely to end disas-
trOusly to the latter empire.
1t is ominOus of ruin when a cOrnered clique
resort to the courts to save themselves from
slaughter in the Stock Exchange. The failure
OF George Bird Grinnell & Co., and the pro-
ceedings in court by which their securities
were prevented from being sold by those
who held them as collateral, are certainly sus-
piciOus enough to warrant the Indignation OF
the victims whose money has been thus locked
up. 1t may be impossible to show collision
between the firm which failed and the complain
ant who threw themintO bankruptcy; but never
theless these gentlemen will always labor under
the suspicion of having TesOrted to tmst to
save the clique for whom they were carrying
an immense line of the various Vanderbilt
shares. The whole story is told in other col
umns of The TRIBUNE, and from the nara
tive each reader may draw his own inference
But this much seems clear-that the proceed
ings in bankruptcy and those by which the
Injunction was obtained cannot bear investl-
CATION or be sustained long in the courts
Possibly all that was expected was tenn
poTary aid in the present emergency by which
the Vanderbilt stocks might be maintained
until settlements could be effected. But the
exposure of what many yesterday seemed to
look upon as a conspiracy must naturally de-
press the stocks still further.

An affecting appeal for aid is published in our

help the sick, bury the dead, and shelter the
orphans. The case is one of sharp emergency /;
the call is urgent, and it must not be made in
vain.
We do not attach great present Importance
TO the talk from Washington about forcing
into bankruptcy such banks as do not pay
legal tenders on demand. The special attack
upon one of the Washington Jay Cooke banks
may be sustained lit is grounded, at least,
upon distinct allegations, sufficient to war
rant proceedings. But to attempt to
drive the banks generally into bank
ruptcy, at the close of such crisis as we are
passing and apparently within a fortnight OF
the time when money will be as plenty as
before the crash, would be an act of folly
which few creditors could want to attempt,
and no Courts would be likely TO encourage.
