The case is strikingly different from that
of Sprague, the ex-Treasurer His friends
claim that he was not the guilty party In the
unuuestioned thefts which occurred during his
official term. They lay the crime at the door
of Rodnan and the Trust Company. Ii seems
doubtful whether any skill or energy on the
part of the prosecution could have made the
suit successful after the first cunning step
taken by BrittOn before THE TRIBUNE had
driven him from Office, whereby he saved the
real culprit or the tool of the real culprlts, by
pretending that his evidence was necessary
against Sprague. From this false step Brit
toms succcssols could make no escape. Fail-
ing then on Sprague, their failure seems
absolute. What other culprits are con-
cealed by ROdman's immunity may
never be made public. But the whole

PAST PRESENT, AND FUTURE.


Nine years after the close of the war and
eight months after the panic, the Senate of
the United States has passed third bill for
the manufacture of more paper money, and the
House of Representatives stands ready to con-
cur in the act. The President, by using the
veto power, will save the country from the fatal
consequences which otherwise would follow.
BY generations to come President Grant will be
remembered not only as the victorious Gen.
eral, but as the man who did services as great
for his country by arresting this insane legis-
lation. lie may do even more. Twenty six
millions of Greenbacks have been issued above
the legal limit. Even Richardson himself did
not pretend to regard these as other than a
Reserve If such be their character, now,
with money at two per cent and q drug at
that, is the time to "reserve' them. II, as we
have always held, they are simply an unwar-
raDted and illegal issue, now is the time to
get them into the cremation furnace in the
Treasury basement. These twenty-six millions
can be got out of the way, during the present
plethora of money, without raising financial
ripple and no better means for stimulating
the revival of business could be taken.
But, while for the present the prospect is
favorable, while the country is slowly recov-
ering, while the lookout for honest business
and industry is steadily frightening, we must

OUR STEP-BROTHER.

In all the sermons which we shall hear
preached in the city pulpits tomorrow, there
will be but two themes, God and our brother
and by Monday morning, if we have listened
to preacher of our own creed, we shall have
digested and accepted the dogmas laid down
concerning our Maker; but with regard to our
neighbor We shall, most of us, have our own
opinion, in spite of the sermon. just as before.
The mysterious awful Presence, behind Nature
and human life, we are usually humble enough

remember that great and difficult work is
before us. As long as the present ignorance
and confusion in regard to the nature and
uses of money exist nothing is safe. The Ia
bor of years may at any time be lost in q
month. The question OF currency reform
must be kept alive.
The present course of Congress, since it
tends to keep alive the popular interest in
this supremely important matter, is cause for
great rejoicing. We, speaking for all the ad-
yocates of a fixed quantity OF gold or silver as
the only standard of value. court the fullest
investigation of the principles of science.
of the facts of history, and of the
moral laws which should govern the
dealings between debtor and creditor.

praise. to be called "bOok fnanciers." The

THE SUITS AGAINST BROOKLYN OFF.

The exceedingly light sentence passed upon
the Charity Commissioners of Brooklyn, who
were convicted of violating the plain pro-
visions of the law that defined their duties,
will excite surprise. Judge Daniels said, in
deed, that he would have been willing to in
flict the utmost penalty of the law, which in
cludes imprisonment and fine but his asso-
ciates urged extreme leniency. The reasons
for such kindly consideration are nowhere
evident. The Commissioners had simply
placed the law at defiance. 1t interfered with
the custom of the Board Of allotting con-
tracts to its favorites without regard to the
cost to taxpayers. Small title to the sympa-
thies of the court had these conscienceless
guardians of the poor. standing between the

ORGANIZATION A NECESSITY.

In our wanderings we have conversed
with a large number Of mechanics, dray.
men, clerks, professional men and mer-
chants, and from all come expressions Of the
necessity which at present exists for an
early and thorough organization Of the
white people Of this State for self-defense
and preservation Of their rights. This
movement has been made more popular than
it otherwise would have been by the aggres-
sive demeanor Of the negroes within the
past few months and is the direct effect of
policy their leaders have instilled into the
negro masses. In the street cars, on the
sidewalk, aud in fact wherever one is thrown
in contact with them, can be seen that
overbearing manner which had, to certain
degree, died out two years ago.
What they imagine can be gained by such
conduct we are at . loss to know, for those
to whom they look for guidance must know
that white men do not readily forego
privileges enjoyed by them for centuries.
In earnestness we say, that looking at the
condition of affairs in this State with a
thoroughly equipped negro militia, COM
manded by negroes, the many responsible
positions held by them and the enormous
power placed in their hands under the acts
of the past corrupt Legislature it behooves
the white people to place themselves under
discipline in order that conflict of races
be averted, and if not. averted, that they be
in . position to protect their wives and
children.
