Pulpit Topics To-Day.

The anxiety of the pastors and churches
for religious awakening in this city is very
clearly manifested to-day in the very general
the Holy Spirit in such awakening and the
qualification Of Christians for cooperation
in revival work. This, in one form or an
other, will occupy the time and thought of
Rev. Messrs Mccarthy, Barrett Narrower,
Seitz, Ganse, Armitage, Leavell, Knapp, Tay-
lor and Jutten Mr. Phelps will take trip
back to Nineveh three thousand years ago to
examine and report upon the great wbrk which
revived that city under the preaching of the
half-hearted prophet Jonah. Mr. Lloyd
will present two pictures-one of the sinner
coming to Jesus and being received, and the
other of Jesus coming to the sinner and knock
ing at the hearts door and being refused
admission. And yet He should be received !;
for, as Mr.. Leavell will show, godliness is
profitable not only hereafter but here, also
and, as Mr. Knapp will demonstrate, it is
within reach of all men; for there is saliva
ton for the lost, and the Lord himself is the
desire and portion Of the good man, as Mr..
Willis will make it appear, and His presence
insures liberty Of the truest sort to the chill
dren of God. To insure a revival, however,
believers must have travail of soul for the
salvation of men, and love even for enemies
must possess their hearts, as Mr.. Selleck will
show The prophet and pastor of Mount
Zion must be fond of fire, for he deals as
freely with it as if it were plaything He
has Gods burning day for the world set and
fixed already, and will let a favored few into
the secret Mr. Hugo will raise another
earthwork in Harlem to protect our free
schools

The Third Avenue Savings Bank
SNvindle.


1t ought now to be plain to the public
that the managers Of the Third Avenue Bank,
after inducing depositors to trust their
money to the institution through false re-
ports of its solvency, are endeavoring
to obstruct the interests Of the creditors and
to prevent any effective measures from being
taken to hold the faithless trustees
to accountability. 1t has always been
absurd to believe that an officer of the bank
rupt Institution who owed his position to
the trustees who united with them in
making false statements Of the condition
of the bank 50 as to extend the area of it's
victims, and who was secretly appointed re-
ceiver at their request, through the aid Of a
suspiciously friendly Bank Superintendent,
would act in the interest of the depositors
against the trustees From the desperate
efforts Of the trustees to keep their agent and
old employe in the position Of receiver it is
evident that there is something more at stake
than the retention OF friend in that capac-
ity. There have been rumors Of dishonest
transactions on the part of some prominent
persons connected with the management
Of the bank which may form the basis
for criminal proceedings. The conster-
nation caused by the probable removal Of
Mr. Carman seems to give color to such sur
misses. If the affairs of the bank have been
honestly managed and will bear investiga-
tion why should the trustees be in such dread
of new receiver? Why should they not be
nil fo true fha xvin1iycr of "a
business to disinterested and competent
man as to their own old employe if they have
no frauds or irregularities to conceal
The case of this bankrupt institution is
one Of great public interest, reaching far be
yond the circle Of the defrauded depositors
The part played by the Superintendent Of
the Banking Department in the whole affair
must be looked upon with suspicion. If that
officer can legally suffer bank to enticc de-
positors into its meshes after it is clearly rot
ten and bankrupt, and can then aid it in Sc
curing friendly receiver by stealth, without
no security for the depositors Of any savings
bank in the State. 1t is essential that the
Supcrintendents course in this matter
should be thoroughly scrutinized. 1t is also
important that the trustees Of the broken
bank should be held to q strict account
ability. Their bonds should be pros
ecuted At once, and no Court should
do any act to prolong the reten-
tion of Mr.. Carman in tlS receivership
single day. 1t is also desirable that the
responsibility Of the trustees in criminal
proceedings should be tested, and that the
Courts should decide whether men acting in
such capacity can induce people to trust

vass showing an undue sympathy with John
Kelly Mr.. Bigelow would have been defeated
by the vote of New York city alone. But
now that the local canvass is over Mr. Herman
and Mr.. Seymour should take an interest in
New York politics. They should come to the
city and insist upon reorganization. They
would find the masses of the party glad to
accept their counsel and act with them. If
this is done promptly and judiciously the
defeat of Tammany Hall on Tuesday may be
the beginning of the greatest victory ever
achieved by the democratic party.

The Health OF New York.

The interview we published with General
Viele the other day in references to Central
Park and the many communications and
publications that have appeared in the press
as to the sanitary condition of our city are
worthy OF prompt attention. We believe the
stories about malaria in New York are ex-
aggerated. If it were not so our death rate
would be much larger in proportion to that
OF other great cities than it appears from pub
lished statistics. At the same time New
York might be much healthier city If it
were properly governed. We have not been
visited for many years by any general disease
like the cholera or yellow fever.
So far as location is concerned the
site is healthier than London, Paris or
Vienna. We have the great ocean at our
side and the mountains around us and two
rivers constantly draining the soil. We
have the best water i'll the world from the
Croton River, free from any taint Of sew
age. We have but few graveyards in the
city, and those far removed from one another
and small in size. In London there is COM
plant that the soil is SO permeated by the
sewage as to be incurably poisoned, and un-
less science can find means of eliminating
the noxious elements the question of health
will become, in generation or two one Of
the gravest character.
In addition to the natural advantages of
New York science has brought draining to per-
fection. There is not an engineer who could
- f1r 4hrr nlxr
draining New York and removing every YES
tige Of malaria. But we are careless in this
respect, as we are in most things. We open
boulevards and tear up the earth in the
upper sections. We allow water to gather
and vegetable matter to decompose and go
on building and digging and scratching and
leave these exposed places to generate typhus
and diphtheria. All around New York there
are plague spots which arise wholly from our
Incidence and recklessness. General Viele
says that in Central Park our pleasure lakes
have been so indifferently handled as to
threaten to become also an offence to the
community Instead Of lakes we have stag
nant ponds.
Now if John Kelly and the Tammany Hall
people, who still have control of the city,.
mean to give US good government, let them
take hold Of this question of malaria. New
York can afford well to pay twenty million
dollars to have the country south of Yonkers
thoroughly drained and brought into q
healthy condition. The lives we lose, the
money we spend, the griefs we endure, the
bad reputation that comes upon our city be-
cause Of the neglect of this first function of
government, costs us enormously in the end
Now that we have brought rapid transit to
the point of success, why should not our
city government take hold of the question Of
the sanitary condition of New York? Let a
commission of physicians and engineers be
appointed to enter into the whole subject.
Let q plan be matured that will thoroughly
purify New York and make it healthy and in
viting. For such plan the city will will
ingly pay all the money required millions
if needed

The Won Arnim Case.

The case Of the Count Won Arnim, so
familiar to our readers, is becoming scan
dal. prosecution was brought against this
nobleman by the Prussian government as an
act Of discipline. 1t has been carried from
Court to Court. In every case he has been
found guilty. We had hoped that the i'm
perial government, having satisfied the dis
cipline of its foreign Office by securing the
conviction of the Count, would show its
imperial mercy by pardoning him. The
offence, after all, was but nominal one. No
one supposes that Count Won Arnim intended
to do anything inconsistent with his rank as
a nobleman or his function as diplomatist.
1t may be that the exigencies Of the Prussian
service require that even a constructive Of
fence against the laws Of diplomacy should
be punished as severely as actual crime.
The punishment that Count Afnim has
already received is of terrible character.
He has been dismissed from his service, from
his emoluments, from that promotion which
would certainly have followed the signature
Of the Treaty of Paris. The Prussian govern
ment could not do more gracious act than
to pardon Count Won Arnim for the general
offence charged against him, and to admit
him again to the service in which he gained
honorable distinction.

The staten island Ferrv war.

There is some reason to suspect
that the Jacobus Vanderbilt ferry mo-
nopoly is about to attempt another
outrage on the property of the Indc-
pendent Ferry line and the New York
Yacht Club on Staten Island. The false
statement was made yesterday through some
of the New York papers that the club house
was to be removed from its present position
with the consent Of Commodore Garner and
the club. 1t is believed that this report was
spread for the purpose of deceiving
the people Of Staten Island. Tho
supposition is that the Jacobus Van
derbilt monopolists, with the redoubt-
able Blunt at their head, contemplate
another attack on the club house as soon
as it is closed for the winter, and that
they seek to make the Staten Islanders be-
lieve that their operations are simply the
work of Commodore Garner and his friends
From the spirit that animates the people of
Staten Island it is evident that any such
attempt would be fatal to the Jacobus
Vanderbilt party. The Independent Ferry
line will be protected by the citizens to the
extent Of the law, and, as Commodore Garner
says, if the club house should ever be re-
moved by its friends the Staten Islanders
will have due notice of the event.

No CHANGE FOR DoI.LAR.-The Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, Who i well known
as strict observer Of tho Law, is, in &C
cordance with the resumption law of last
session, coming silver small change as
rapidly as the mints can do it. Meantime,
it is noticed that the fifty cent scrip is less
abundant than formerly. This arises from
the fact that the Treasury has ceased to print
new scrip and large quantities are con-
stantly disappearing from circulation, being
worn out, soiled and torn. The fractional
currency has been contracted by nearly q
fifth in the last twelve months, simply by
not replacing that which is worn ont and de-
stroyed If this goes on much longer there
will be demand for silver half and quarter
dollars, dimes and half dimes 1t is for
that demand that Mr. Bristow IS probably
preparing himself But if he can thus get
rid Of the fractional currency why could he
not try the same plan with the larger legal
tenders? If he should refuse to reissue
legal tender notes paid in to the government
and refuse to print new notes we should
gradually come to an end Of the greenback
and thus to gold.

A Parliamentary Experiment..

AS the Servian Skuptschha has adjourned
for month, peace between Servia and Tur-
key is assured for that time at least and the
members will have time to cool their heads
and may return in a different temper. One
Of the quaintest experiments yet made in par
liamentary government has come out Of their
ridiculous spirit of pugnacity. In their
stormy sessions the Servian national existence
may be said to have been at stake If the issue
Of war does not actually determine the indie
pendence of Servia as q State it will, it is
well nigh certain, determine finally the reign
Of Milano as sovereign prince. If Milano
can keep the peace between his people and
the Turks he is the man the great Powers
want on that particular throne. If he can
not keep the peace even a successful war
will not save him. With these facts clear
before his eyes he has to deal with Cham
Der that regards itself as sovereign and
which is composed Of one member for every
thousand persons Of the population. Re
Gently the Chamber, furious for war; seemed
to have passed SO far beyond restraint that
when the Prince presented himself before it
there were threatening demonstrations made
against him as almost the only man in favor
Of peace Milano lighted his cigar and left
the Chamber, much, apparently, in the
style in which the Duke in Rigoletto goes
out singing, 'DonRe mobile" But he sent
for all those gentlemen to come to the royal
palace They went. There he demanded
of them, 'Who among you are for war and
who opposed to it" But he did not take a
general and clamorous answer. On the con
trary he called each members name from
the roll, and each member, thus isolated,
answered for himself. Only dozen Depu-
ties voted for war out Of an assembly that a
few hours before had howled for it with
unanimous fury. Milano is evidently the
man for the place he holds.
