into districts and kept under close
inspection by visitors; an applicant for
aid to any one society can be thus
promptly proved worthy or unworthy by ref-
erence to the others. The Bureau is not de-
signed to abrogate private charity, but to
serve as means of reference TO prevent that
charity from being misapplied. and to direct
it into the currents where it will prove most
effectual. Applicants able to work are given
work, and if it is refused arc sent to house
of industry, where they are supported and
kept busy. The result Of this thorough and
watchfu system has been not only an enor-
nous saving to the societies, but the almost
complete removal of pauperism from the city.
In late able paper in an English review
on pauperism, the system in Boston is in
stanced as being at once the most thorough.

MR. GL1DSTONE'S POSITION.

II is possible that the condolences which
Mr.. Gladstone is so generally receiving for his
recent pamphlet are not needed. We are told
that he has thrown away his leadership OF the
Liberal party, and has forever excluded him.
self frsm the prominent position he has
hitherto held in public life. There is every
reason to think that these considerations, II
thew were well founded, are by no means so
powerful with Mr.. Gladstone as they would
he with many other active politicians, or as
tbey would have been with him few years
ago. He retired from Office after defeat
which cast no discredit whatever upon himself,
and which was of nature to engender more
than n passing disgust for the strife of parties
in a mind so severely honest and disinterested
"a that of the late Premier. The sudden
detection of his Irish supporters which threw
him into a minority was the rudest shock he
had ever received. and the effects of 1T
ara likely to last as long as he lives.
When summoned several months ago to resume
his most of leadership, he distinctly declined
70 do so. and intimated that it was doubtful
whether he should ever undertake again the
wcobty responsibilities incumbent upon a
chief of party. When during the last session
OF Parliament no lutiouuo0u aiu oh0n "ieh
drew his propositions In regard to Church
Government, his action was entirely consist
ont with his former declarations. 1t indicated
that his mind was much more occupied with
the question Of tho relations between the
Church and the State than with the struggle
for mower and place between the Liberals and
Conservatives. His allegiance to his con-
science was evidently stronger than to his
marty. and he apparently cared very little for
the admonitions he received on that occasion
from the organs which were alarmed for the
disciplpe of the opposition. In tho article
which he printed in The Contemporary Re
,iep he took no thought of the effect
of his calm and unfinching assertions upon
the organization with which he acted in Par
lament. And when that article gave rise to
sucb passonate discussion and attack on the
mart of English Catholics, he resolved to
answer them fully, and with equal disregard
of the consequences. There may have been
in all this a certain amount of Mr. GladstOne's
constitutional impulsiveness. But he has been
Too long in the habit of weighing his words and
actions, to have been led into such sequence
Of important acts without knowing whittier it
would tend. If by the course he has pursued
he has abdicated the position of leader of the
Liberal party, it has been from one of two
motives. Either he considered the position no
longer worth holding, or else he followed
conviction of duty 80 strong as to counter
balance that love Of power and political dire0-

It will please many of the friends and admirers OF
the lamented DR.. Montgomery to know that one Of
his last acts was marked by that independent liber
ali:y and courtesy which distinguished the entire
life of this eminent Christian minister. The follow
ing note addressed to the President Of the LotOs
Club needs no explanation, except that it mis-
directed, and did not reach its destination until
after Dr. Montgomery's death. We are sure there
can be no impropriety in printing the note, now
that it has gained sacred interest by the decease
Of this generous and bigh-minded scholar and gen.

The several suspensions yesterday among
produce dealers cannot be considered as actual
failures with heavy losses to creditors In
ability to meet engagements, owing to the
dulness of trade, complications arising from sus-
pensions of others during the panic year ago,
and the general fall in prices of stocks, have
occasioned most of the suspensions now re-
ported. In the majority of cases it is to be
hoped that time and the forbearance of cred
itors will enable the crippled firms to continue
and recover.

The story which yesterday afternoon repre-
sented Mayor Havemeyer, Gov. Dix, Con-
troller Green, and Mr.. TIlden in terrible
conspiracy to remove all the present heads of
departments and appoint new men who should
be obnoxious to Mayor Wickham, is hardly
worth the elaborate denial given it else
where. But as Mayor Havemeyer has come
to be thought capable of any absurdity in
municipal rule it is possibly worth while to
assure the public that he is not clean daft.

Mr.. Beecaer's counsel have decided to ap-
peal from the decision of the General Term Of
the Brooklyn City Court denying the applca-
ton for particulars of what Mr.. Tilton means
to prove. This will delay the trial of the
civil suit against Beecher for some months at
least. Meantime Moulton's suit in the United
States Court may come up, but the disposition
to pettifog that, too, will doubtless soon be-
tray itself Both parties to these actions ap-
pear to think that there is virtue in delay,
aud to hope that time may heal even these
sores and hush these loud scandals.

Even the urgent pressure of Senator Clayton
is not likely to move the Administration to
come to the relief of Smith of Arkansas, who
wishes to be considered its Governor. Mr..

even Judge Poland recognizes, and nothing
serious need be expected from them If the
claims of their aspirant are postponed till
Congress meets,

Joy and hope reign supreme in Alabama
since the election, and our correspondence re-
lates many incidents that show how great Is
the improvement expected with riddance of
carpet-bag rule. Already land is valued at
higher prices, and measures have been taken
to render personal property more secure. In
fact the only danger seems to be that the
people will hope for too much from the polit-
ical changes, forgetting chow small, of all
that human hearts endure, the part that
kings or laws can cause or cure"

to influence legislative committee of which
he was a member. Now Col. Spencer either
knows or does not know of such an attempt.
If he does not, he has borne false witness If
he does, he has violated his duty both as

to some purpose, by exposing and helping to
punish the criminals. Who are the men, Mr.

Brooklyn, it seems, is responsible not only
for the unsavory scandals, political and other
wise which are daily waited to our MetropOl-

which offend Murray Hill. Our Board of
Health has informed the Brooklyn sanitary
guardians of their offense in this way, and it
is hoped that at least some of our neighbOr-
ing nuisances may be abolished. AS for the
others,-well, we do not despair of their
eventual abatement, for decency and honesty
must prevail some day.

Hester and Beach, United States Special
Agents and outrage manufacturers, have re-
turned from Alabama, leaving their work
unfinished. The State has lost its interest for
them since the election. and the subsequent
proceedings of people whom they have thrown
into prison and subjected to other annoyances
are likely to prove embarrassing; and in
Hester's case the memory of Mobile citizens
respecting his adventures in the Confederate
navy and the sudden death of one of his ship
mates must be especially disagreeable.

for his opposition to ritualstic practices. His
