Failure Of a Lumber Merchant.

ST. PAUL, October 27-W. ID. Wash
burn, an extensive lumbcrman Of Mime
apolis and Anoka, to-day made an As
signment for the benefit of his creditors.
The liabilities are large. 1t is under
stood that his assets are double his liahil-
ities, but are not available. During the
present depression in tn" lumber trade, a
meeting of his creditors has resolved to
continue the business with WuShburn rs
manager.

this matter no longer principally concerns the
public as much as the persons. 1t is not SO
much whether MIR. Kellys returns were cor
rect as whether Mr.. Havemeyer tells the
truth. Let these two distinguished gentlemen
consider the Beecher case, and try to
profit by it's lessons. The question has
been fully discussed, so far as the
public interests are concerned, and has become
one OF personal veracity. AS such let it be
decided by jury. The libel suit which Mr..
Kelly has promised to institute will enable His
Honor the Mayor to present all his evidence,
and makes his statement superfuous To
sum up the case briefly, we would advise
Messrs. Havemeyer and Kelly to begin their
battle just where Messrs. Beecher and Tilton
left off-in court. So long as a statement con-
Germs the public we are glad to print it, but we
do not believe that newspaper should be
turned into a prize ring for political pugilists.
When John Kelly was babe in the cradle
His Honor was o man. Now let him get the
young fellow good example, and declare with
Iago ''from this time forth never will speak
word"

States government? Credat .Juda,ss. Can
even the men deepest in that iniquity doubt
that the people understand the whole case and
will act on it when the moment comes? Let
the answer be seen in the prevalence of demo-
cratic majorities in nine-tenths of the late
elections
There are reasons, therefore, why there
should be wide and almost general revolt Of
the people against the party in power. and
there are evidences that this revolt is already
prepared in the minds of the voters over the
whole country. VIII this general movement,
arising with the discomfort of the people
manly against the conduct of the national
government affect our State canvass Gene
rally the political action of the people is the
same against party wherever it. ean find it
on national or local vote Frequently,
however, the situation is such locally as to in
terrupt the operation of general cause If,
for instance. party whose policy is becoming
distasteful to the people nomnates an ex-
ceptionally good candidate and the other
party an exceptionally bad one, such case
might interrupt the operation of the general
revolt at that point; for people are not
blindly resolute even for revolution where
revolution is accomplished by elections.
But in such case as that now be-
fore the people of this State we do
not see that such an interruption can
occur. Here are two exceptionally good
candidates. Both parties present men of
high character and known and tried
capacity. On the score of their merits as
men there is little to choose between the two.
There is no difference between them that can
greatly incline the balance either way, and
especially none that can incline it against q
deep and serious determination of the people
to change parties. This equality of the can
didates-this fact that the people can vote in
sympathy with the movement of the nation
against party that has grossly abused its
power and yet lose nothing in the fitness of
the man that may be elected Governor-is all
in favor Of the party that will get the benefit
OF the revolution. We cannot see, therefore,
why the revolution may not operate in this
State as it has operated elsewhere and if it
does we do not see the possibility of fifty
thousand majority for General Dix. If we do
not also see the case as they do who claim
fifty thousand for Mr.. Tilden it is because We
do not believe the vote that changes place in
this State is SO large as they believe it to be-

The Mayor and Mr.. Kelly.

There ore many cases which can only be
determined finally by public opinion, and it
is proper that they should be submitted to
the press as the proper tribunal These cases
will be found, as rule, to be the most impor-
tant that require the calm and thoughtful
consideration of the public. They involve
principles. They have direct reference to The
choice of President Governor, legislators,
Congressman or municipal officers. The third
term question, national convention of peace,
the restoration Of the South, the financial pol
icy-these are matters which the people are
compelled to decide, but which the press must
in the meanwhile debate. But in issues be-
tween individuals the press is not always the
proper tribunal 1t was SO in the Beecher
case up to q certain point; but then, after
the newspapers of the whole country had
pronounced their opinions, it was necessary
for the courts to give legal decision. We
could not acquit Mr.. Beecher nor condemn
Mr.. Tilton, for beyond the question between
these persons and the public was the question
between man and man. To decide that finally
q jury is needed.
The Mayor and the ex-Sheritf seem dis
posed to lay their differences before the pub
lie for arbitration. and have submitted several
elaborate statements which it takes valuable
time to read and long study to understand.
We believe the press does right to examine
the facts, but only SO far as the
public is concerned. If Mr.. Havemeyer
has been defending the public interests
we are glad to render him the credit he has
earned; if MIR. Kelly has been stealing from
the public We must enter an objection. But
we know this dispute only as it concerns the
public. With Mayor Havemeyers personal
quarrel with Mr.. Kelly the press has no
legitimate concern and it is time that both of
these gentlemen should understand it.
Already long statements from Mr.. Kelly
and Mayor Havemeyer have been published.
The Mayor accuses Mr.. Kelly OF having
defrauded the city, but wants it understood
that he does not call him "a common thief"
MIR. Kelly intimates that the Mayor has
uttered an untruth, though he does not wish
it inferred that he holds him to be a
common liar. The ex-Sherif announces
that he intends to sue the Mayor
for libel, and the Mayor, in return, pledges
himself to destroy Mr.. Kelly by another state
ment next Tuesday. We regret this, for we
foresee the unfortunate results This Is to be
the Beecher case over again. The venerable
Mayor and the sprighuy Sheriff will ride a
political see-saw, OF which the press Is to be
the pivot. II will be "here we go up, up,
ur. and here we go down, down, downy.'
To this we decidedly object for 1t Is clear that

PAYING As WE Go.-The s.bridging over"
policy inaugurated by Comptroller Green,
and which is laying up legacy Of bankruptcy
for the future, was well illustrated at the last
meeting Of the Board of Apportionment.
Assessment fund bonds were authorized to be
issued to the amount of four million three
hundred and thirty-seven thousand dollars to
take up the same class Of bonds falling due
November !, and one million eight hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars of public
parks improvement fund bonds, to take up
similar bonds also falling due the same date
Thus on one day Of one month we issue new
bonds to the amount of between six and seven
million dollars, bearing seven per cent in
terest to "bridge over the payment of SO
much debt, while the Comptroller is engaged
in opening bids for two millions three hun
dred thousand dollars consolidated stock for
similar purpose. This is tho sort Of fnan-
cial management to which the city of New
York is now subjected.

FASHIONABLE FINDER BoxEs.-Now we have
the destruction by fire of another Of those tinder
boxes built for the punishment Of pleasure
seekers at fashionable summer resorts The
hotel keepers at Saratoga, Long Branch and
similar watering places insist on erecting
monstrous wooden structures, divided up into
inconvenient, cramped-up cells, into which
they pack their victims during the dog days,
and when fire kindles in one of them away
goes the whole building like a bundle Of
shavings. The list of such confagrations is a
long one, and at present it closes with the
Grand Hotel at Saratoga, which follows
closely on the heels OF the burning of the
Atlantic Block at Long Branch. When will
common sense teach people to build good
brick hotels at watering places, with Christian
accommodation for the guests, and to protect
themselves against this sudden Wholesale
destruction Of property?

DANGEROUS BUILDINGS. The Commissioner
of Public Works has called the attention Of the
Board of Aldermen to the fact that the Fourth
avenue excavations have rendered unsafe a
number of buildings between One Hundred
and Second street and the Harlem River
Should any damages result the city would be
liable hence some action should be taken
promptly by the Common Council The
railroad company should at once be notified
to put the threatened buildings in safe con-
dition, and, in default, the Commissioner of
Public Works should be authorized to proceed
forthwith with such precautionary work as may
be necessary, and to collect the cost of the
company. The Fourth avenue excavation at
the present rate Of progress threatens to deal
out death and damage to our citizens for some
years to come.

HOME AGAN.-Henry Ward Beecher re-
turned to Plymouth church last evening.
His reception, an account of which appears
elsewhere, must be gratifying to all who be-
lieve in him and who really see true religion
in the worship of sentiment. Plymouth
church deserves credit for the persistency
with which she sustains her pastor, although,
we are apt to fear, her members have not lost.
their disposition to worship Mr.. Beecher rather
than Jesus Christ. Whatever comes Mr. Beecher
need no longer feel that he is on the ''ragged
affections. 1t is pleasant to see some people
who believe in some one, and Mr.. Beecher
should feel that he is honored among men
at least, as men now 60 in modern
Christianity.

Creednoor.

The Army and Nauy Journal contains an
admirable article upon the recent meeting at
Creedmoor and the unusual interest our
people show in rifle shooting The advent of
the Irish team and the singularly brilliant
contest for the supremacy will have the effect
Of drawing the attention of thousands to the
genuine and manly accomplishment Of rifle
practice. "The establishment of Creedmoor,
says the Journal, ''has been of great
service in developing in the National
Guard true spirit Of emulation and in
leading it to practice which is OF
actual military utility. The exaycises of
the drillroom and the street parades are use
full, certainly. but they are only part OF the
training Of the citizen soldier. Moreover,
they include matters of routine which are far
from attractive to young men, and the relief
to them that is usually provided is afforded by
the balls, receptions, excursions, banquets,
&c., which are so popular among the
militia But that is not Of the
kind, however necessary under the cir
cumstances, which needs any encouragement
from us. Creedmoor, on the other hand, offers
both sport and valuable practice Joined in
one. It familiarizes the National Guard with
the use Of their great weapon, whereas before
the rifle ground was opened very few OF them
knew much more than how to carry 1t, and at
the trials on its grounds the regiments can
put to good test the strength of the discipline
they have had in their armories.'
Of course this is not the last time we shall
have 'teans" coming from foreign nations
to compete with our marksmen, and we shall
not be satisfied until Yankee team shows
what it can do abroad. We have not done
much in the way of international comp 'tition,
at least since Mr.. Morphy went to England as
chess warrior and returned chess champion,
sighing, like Alexander, for other worlds to
conquer. Our readers will be pleased to know
that the enterprise Of the HERALD in its
reports of the Creedmoor meetings has met
with more than usual appreciation from the
press and the public. The unique and orig
inal idea of giving next morning the fac
Smiles Of the targets has met with universal
admiration as one Of the most striking and
felicitous achievements of modern journalism
