hands OFF!

Another half million robbery in the luckless
Brooklyn Trust Company, and the failure of
the Midland Railroad Company, with serious
compromise of the firm of Geo. Opdyke 81 Co.,
are Yesterdays contributions to the record of
financial rottenness A panic in Wall Street was
the consequence; but it is absurd to call'it
bearn panic. The prevalent feeling of dis
trust is no trick of the reckless gamblers for
a fall in stocks 1T is the inevitable conse-
auence of the fresh failures and defalcations
which every day brings to light.
We urge sound business men, and all who
wish to avoid disaster, to keep out of Wall
Street. Let the gamblers alone. No great
harm will come from their ups and downs, If
left to their own digestion. The country is
full of rotten railroad schemes, and the banks
that have left their legitimate business to
carry the bonds must take the consequences.
Meantime legitimate business is brisk and
prosperous. Merchants of all sorts say the
Fall season has rarely opened better. And
we beg the Secretary of the Treasury to
notice that they make little or no COM
plant of tight money. Already the gamblers
appeal for more currency is ringing In
his ears. If he wishes to preserve one shred
of the respect of reputable business men,
Mr.. Richardson will set his face like a
flint against that appeal. The one thing
which legitimate business asks is to be
let alone. There is plenty of money
for its uses. There is not enough also for
gigantic Wall Street gambling, and every dol
lar the Treasury might be importuned to
issue would go straight into that employment,
and be used, to the detriment of honest bust
ness Hands off

SHREYEPORT.
responsible,

Private advices from Shreveport give hOrri-
BILE minutie of the suffering. Want of every
kind besets the poor, hunger and terror both
serving the pestilence; the sick are left I'M
tended, the dead unburied. In the face OF
this, and as corollary thereto, New
has sent thousand dollars. Any known
person asking help for an urgent case of
charity could obtain that sum in ten min
utes on Wall Street or Broadway.
There are some queer traits of human nature
which invariably come to the light in this mat
ter of ams-giving. When Chicago was burned
the whole world was reused as by an electric
shock Contributions poured in for months
with unstinted lavishness but the Wisconsin
sufferers did not fare half 80 well, and when
other cities were partially burned afterward, in
which the distress though more limited as to ex-
tent was just as intense, nobody apparently felt
called upon to give anything. Nations as well
"a individuals soon tire of the most pathetic
tune played on one string. They must be
stimulated by novelty, sensation of some
sort, before they can be generous. IL North
ern town had been attacked by this pestience,
contributions and aid from all the country
would have flowed in freely but towns in Louis
lana appear to inherit the yellow fever naturally;
by public consent it seems to belong to them.
AT all events, that is the only feeling which
will at all account for the strange leth-
argy with which the country has listened to
this last tale of horror. Thirty-three nurses,
as we learn, have been sent by the Howard
Association in Newt Orleans. We are surprised,
not that so many have gone, but that there
are so few and these men, pledged before
hand in a manner to just such terrible duty.
Men are ready enough usually to run into
danger for the sheer love of 1t. No expedi-
ton to the Polar seas Starts out without
double the applicants for places that can be
received. No burning house, or wrecked ship,
or forlorn hope in battle calls for courage
and desperate heroism but they are ready.
Yet here is q community stricken with death
for lack of help, and the whole country turns
its back indiferently, and passes by, like the
priest and Levite in the parable, on the other
side. 1t is the duty of no man or woman, with
Others dependent on them, to throw their lives
into this deadly breach. But where are the
hosts Of morbid young fellows, who bewail
their lack of opportunity in this common
place age to greatly dare and nobly dol
Where are the yet larger hosts OF women
crying that their hands are empty ana all
careers closed to them. Their Master sum-
mons them to just such service as this. Or If
they are too uneasy about their spiritual con-
diton " risk sudden death, why do they not

COZ MORTON.S OPINION

Gov. Morton is Disguised with the way
things are going. Time was, he says, when a
political speech was merely review of the
national prosperity. After the orator had
boosted of the wonderful wealth and the
amazing development Of our glorious country,
after ne had pointed out our majestic rivers
and our boundess prairies, after he had made
a few neat and appropriate remarks about our
forefatbers and patted the statesmen of the
present generation on the back, he could feel
that he had acquitted himself with credit and
done all that the most exacting could expect
of him. But now the temper of audiences has
changed. The newspapers and the telegraph
have filled the air with stories of fraud and
corruption. A gentleman can't get up now to
talk about the Declaration of independence
but somebody must poke Credit MoOilier at
him, or ask what he has done with his Back
Pay.
Senator Morton is quite right as to his facts.
The country has got tired of patriotic plati-
tudes, and got tired of jobbery. 1t means to
have a reckoning now with some conspicuous
persons who have been trusted altogether too
long; and those who are not prepared to
give a straightforward answer to certain
pertinent inquiries will do well to retire
from public observation. The people realize
that the most important thing for them
now is the choice of honest lawgivers and
governors and judges, and that integrity is of
far more consequence than political opinions.
In fact the campaign this season - so far as
there is any-threatens to be highly scandalous
and personal; and for such an unpleasant
result. Mr.. Morton and his friends are chiefly
Eesponsible.

That each of these men knew they were vlo-
lating law in obtaining these loans is appar-
emf from the manner of their securing them'
Kingsley employed young boy III his once
to apply for the loans to him. McCue used
his nephew. "Sabbath-Day" Cullen, to carry
ont what seems to have been suitable fraud
for every day performance. MIR. Low used the
name of his firm to evade the law. MT. u.s.
dale and the others found convenient reia-
tives to suit their purposes. IL Is Oh no COIL
seouence that the colaterals were good and
that the loans have been repaid the oiiense was
in tho deliberate violation of the charter; and
tho gentlemen cannot complain II discovery
of if costs them public confidence and creates
a demand that the trusts they have betrayed
be placed henceforth i'll other hands.
The robbery of the bonds placed in the safe
keeping of the Trust Company Is, OF course,
the crime of one or at most OF TWO OF three
of the officers of the bank Or course the
living rogues will swear it was the dead one
who did this thing, but they had better not De
in too great haste to do it lest they be called
upon to explain why certain OF the stoIeh
bonds were found in their possession. Inc
facts of this enormous theft are detailed
elsewhere. Briefly, a trunk containing
ssO4, 900 of railway bonds placed IN
the safe keeping of the Trust Company
and duly receipted for has been rlf1ed, and
bonds TO the amount of at least half a million
of dollars and probably more have been ao-
stracted and sold or hypothecated. Seventy
five thousand dollars of these bonds were paid
over to Controller Schroeder by Mr.. Sprague,
and thus his connection with the robbery Is
indicated. BY implication others are involved
and an investigation will show who were the
thieves. Bat that the Trust Company Is re-
spoDsible for the loss appears to us Ut this
moment clear enough.

TRUST COMPANY REVELATIONS.

The astounding revelations which we pub
lish this morning of Brooklyn Trust Company
mismanagement and fraud will astonish the
readers of THE TRIBUNE less than those of
some of the journals which have insisted,
jointly with the Trustees of the Company,
that all the truth had been told. We have
given notice from the first that the Company
was concealing the worst. Judge McCue
threw the Company into the hands of
a receiver by an illegal process for no
other reason than to conceal the gross
frauds now coming out; the Receiver acted
in an Illegal capacity to prevent exposure of
thefts he knew had been committed; and Mr..
Ripley Ropes was elected President, and has
since acted as such, mainly to conceal immense
robberes of which he has known for some
time past All this we have asserted repeat
edly without fear of denial except in the ex-
travagant nonsense which Mr. Ropes puts for
ward when no talks of the people of Brooklyn
being prepared to rise en- masse to condemn
The TRIBUNE for its plain denunciations of
his mismanagement Probably Mr. Ropes and
his friends will hear soon enough of mass
