side issue has been introduced into the
controversy between Mr.. Welsh, of Philadel-
phia, and the Indian Department. which is
not without some importance. Mr.. Welsh,
in published letter, charged the Secretary
of the Interior with having, in an official re-
port, informed the people that the stock on
the Northern Pacific Company had all been
subscribed Mr.. Welsh contended that this
conveyed to the people the idea that the
stockholders had all paid in a certain sum of
money, the truth being that no such sums
had been paid, and that the only money
applied to the construction of the road
arose from the sale of the bonds To
this statement the Assistant Secretary of the
Interior Mr.. Cowan, responds that Secretary
Delano, in making his report, simply quoted
from the report of the President of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company. The
agent of that company now writes another
letter, admitting that the only money paid by
the stockholders was for the purchase of
bonds that no money was paid for stock,
and that no one mot an inmate of an idiot
asylum" ever believed to the contrary.
now II the NOrUncrn racine hallrOau was
built solely by the proceeds of the bonds,
then the question arises, Who owned that
franchise? If the stockholders paid nothing
for their shares how did they obtain them?
What value was given for the use of this
great property? How much money did these
stockholders pay for this vast land grant
Are we to suppose that Congress in voting
the land subsidy meant to give the property
to group of spectators who were not to
pay a cent for the privilege, but to borrow
money upon this gift2 And how was the in
terest paid on the Northern Pacific Railroad
bonds during the time of their selling? Is
it possible that this came ont of the proceeds
of other bonds?
All these are questions that might well be
asked in looking over our disastrous railway
enterprises for the last few years We trust
the first thing the democratic Congress will
do when they assemble will be to thoroughly

rhe Point OF Honor i'm a Cabinet.

Western correspondent writes us that in
his opinion the HERALD's theory about Cabi-
net designations is all wrong ''You would
arrange matters so that bad President
would have Cabinet as bad as himself" ha
writes, ''and you do not seem to see that
this would be bad for the country" To
this we reply, that on the contrary it
would be good for the country. What the
country needs is consistent administration.
Then the people would see clearly where re-
sponsibility for misgovernment or corruption
lies, and they would 60 to the polls with
clear ideas of the remedy. For instance,
here is General Grants Cabinet. 1t contains
Mr.. Delano it for a long time contained
also Mr.. Williams. These men would have
fatally disgraced the administration had
not Messrs. Fish and Jewell and Bris-
tow consented to serve with them.
Had they refused one of two things would
have happened-either General Grant would
have let them go, in which case he would
have stood confessed before the public as no
better than Delano and Williams or, as is
more probable, he would have preferred the
Society VI NItSSIS loL DllotOW anu 0cWcAls
and would let Delano CO. The refusal of re-
spectacle members of the Cabinet to remain
with Delano would show the President
whose chief vice is carelessness about public
business just where he was going, and
would probably induce him to dismiss Mr..
Delano Thus the best interests of the coun-
try require that Cabinet Ministers should ba
rigorous on the point of honor. And 1t id
certain that when they are not so, but ara
subservient to their chief in such matter as
this, they themselves lose the confidence Of
the country. While Mr.. Delano remains in
the Cabinet the other members, if they also
remain, make themselves party to his NAL
administration and bolster up his misdeeds.
That is not pleasant thought to their
friends.

lures of this kind occur to English travellers
in Spain, in Greece and In Italy, and they
may occur in any country infested with
brigands and where there is not vigor enough
in the government 10 repress this sort ~
murderous enterprise. They have not hith-
erto troubled our people. But the case In
which this occurs is simplified for us by tho
fact that the national frontier runs between
Mr. Castillos home and the place where his
friends were compelled to purchase his life.
Our authorities are not under obligation 10
hunt down these brigands. They may leave
that to the Mexican authorities but they
can readily find in the City of Mexico those
who are responsible to us for the offence, and
if the facts have been fairly stated there
cannot fail to be a demand for indemnity.
Investigation will, of course, go first, for all
this frontier ground is difficult and uncer-
tain. Far less has been said by the press Of
the country about the troubles on the Rio
Grande than would have been said if it were
not for a general suspicion that there is an
''outrage mill' in operation there also as
well as in certain of the Southern States.
Opinion has not declared itself very def
nitely as to whether this .''outrage milf is
worked in the interests of the government,
which might not object to q little war in
certain political contingencies, or whether
it is in the interest of railroad schemers or
mine schemers, who can see their advantage
in the hostile collision of the two countries.
In some degree similar doubt may trouble
the settlement of this case on the Northern
frontier. There are some gigantic projects
for the annexation of Sonora to the United
States, and it is in the interest the projectors
to make as much trouble as possible of the
sort fitted to excite the indignation of our
people, and this fact will dampen the ardor
of all acquainted with these man1uvres until
inquiry shall demonstrate whether this out
rage is not little job put up for the Ameri-
can eagle.

From Bear to Bull.

The notion which some people seem to
have that Mr.. Jay Gould is just now a valu-
able member of the community because he
is supporting stock market which, but for
his interposition, would fall to lower and,
perhaps, much lower level is ridiculous.
Mr.. Gould was for long time a bear en-
gagged in tearing things down. 1t pleased
him to be bear because he wished to buy
cheap, and he did not care particularly who
was ruined when he broke the market. OF
late he has changed, and has become ''bull"
because he wants to sell dear what he bought
cheap, and, indeed, some things which prob
ably he did not buy very cheap. Now, as
formerly when he was "bear, he is solicit
tous for his own interest alone He is q toll
erably frank man, and it would make him
smile to be accused of solicitude for the pub
lie interests. If of late, on a number of oc-
casions, he has bought heavily on the stock
market, that was to prevent the market going
down, and he wants the market to keep
up because he cannot afford to have it go
down. He is generally believed to be what
the street calls ''heavily loaded" and he
naturally wishes to UNLOAD" at high price
The market, however, is shaky, and any at
tempt to unload would send stocks tumbling
about his ears. Hence he has to buy when
he would prefer to sell. 1t is not a pleasant
situation for Mr.. Gould, but we do not see
that the public has any interest in support
ing his attempts to bolster up the market by
artificial means. On the contrary, the clear
interest of the public is that prices shall
easily and surely find their natural level.
Nobody wants panic, but the way to pre-
vent panic is to leave events to bring their
natural consequences To tamper with
market, to bolster it up artifcially may put
off the evil day for little while, but only to
make crisis when it comes more
fatal, more disastrous. Let the market
alone, say some and we shall have more
failures. Very well. But only those will
fail who ought to- 1t is a natural process by
which the weaklings are weeded out. But
tamper with the market Mt a critical time
like the present, and some day strong and
weak may tumble together, with only one
imperious and not very scrupulous specula-
Tor 10 Slanu Dy ana lauSn W bne general rum,

market is just now in an unnatural condi-
tion-a black thunder cloud hovers threaten
ingly over it. We repeat our advice to SEN
sble people to stand from under. No one
can tell what will happen next. The cloud
may not burst, but it may, and it is sure to
burst at an unexpected moment When it
has burst We shall have chance of fair
weather, but not before.

The Revolt of the scIavs.

Every new event having any relation to
the revolt in the Turkish provinces renders
less likely peaceful solution of the diff
culties. In the insurrectionary neighbor-
hood the rising has stimulated the liberal
parties to such a degree that the most ex-
IRENE counsels prevail and tend to precipi-
tate action ON the widest theories while in
Constantinople the reports of the revolt
have evidently stirred up the sleepy Moslem
soul and provoked the reflection that there
can never be peace till the infdels are ex-
terminated and this has led to a reactionary
change in the government which BODIES the
application to the insurgents of all the hor-
rors of Moslem cruelty. Hence every hour
moves further apart those between whom,
with happier counsels, there might have
been some compromise and the estab-
lishment of peace on n reasonable basis.
Meantime the governments that must be-
come Intermediates, armed or unarmed,
at the right moment, have assumed diplo-
matte reserve. They are reported to have
informed the Porte that they will put no
obstacles in the way of its repressive efforts.
This means that they do not at present regard
the instruction as having assumed such a
necessarily uncomfortable character as would
justify interference. Even Russia and Aus
tria are not prepared 10 act in the affairs of
other nations with such indecent haste as
characterized the action of the British Minis
try against us in the beginning of the late
war. 1t also means, however, that they have
confidence in the ability of the insurgents
to sustain themselves. In short, they will
wait, and by and by, when the insurrection-
airy elements have fought two or three battles,
and stirred up the sympathy and enthusiasm
of the people Of other countries, and when
the Turks have caught some detachments in
isolated places and butchered them, 10 the
horror of mankind then, apparently, the
Northern Powers will step in and reconstruct
the map of Turkey

glad to learn that the obnoxious pie stand in

master james, having asccrtaincd that the
question lay within his province, has once
more shown an earnest desire to follow pub
lie opinion by announcing that ON and
after Saturday tho sale of refreshments will

James thus affords another proof of his fit
ness for the responsible position he holds,
and is to be commended for his promptness
The question of pies may seem n very trivial
matter to some, but it is in little things that
we find the seed of growing evils, and one

The Coroner has finished with this case
without any discovery having been made
which can throw light on the murderer 1t
might have been taken for granted, on gen.
oral principles, that no discovery of the muir
dorer would have been made, because no
discovery Of a murderer is ever made in this
city where the case is obscure. From that
point Of view, therefore, the subject has no
interest; but in some other respects it is one
Of the most remarkable Of recent crimes. 1t

ciate who did pick pocket passed the stolen
watch 10 him in hurry in the street; but
they were 10 clumsy in their operations that
the owner of the watch was able to follow his
property and pursue this victim, not to
arrest him and hand him over to the police.

course. lIo might have known il. for inst

THE CALIFORNIA BANK.--If there was any
fact that imagination might have fixed
upon rs the only one that could have
heightened the element Of financial ro-
nance in the story Of this institution
it must have been that IL should resume;
that tho fragments of credit and wealth
scattered by the great explosion should be
gathered up and put together again; that the
company of nabobs whose names are famous
in the connection should put themselves
down for the necessary millions 70 bridge
the awful gulf that yawned between the assets
and the liabilities, and thus set tho great
machine fairly on its feet again. Certainly
this was a possibility calculated to give to
the story a splendor quite unlikely to be
seen by human eyes; yet it will be noted by
cur despatch that this possibility is to be-
come sober fact.

Marriage Maxims.

A good wife is the greatest earthly
blessing.
A man is what his wife makes him.
1t is the mother who moulds the
character and destiny of the child.
Never make a remark at the expense
of the other: it is meanness.
Never part without loving words to
think of during your absence. Be
sides, it may be that you will not meet
again in life.
SHOW gently glides the marriage life away,
When she who rules still seems but to obey!'
Never both manifest anger at once
Never speak loud to one another
unless the house is on fire.
Never reflect on past action which
was done with good motive and with
the best Judgement at the time.
Let each one strive to yield oftenest
to the wishes of the other, which is
the mutual cultivation of an absolute
unsellishness.
Never find fault, unless it is perfect
ly certain that fault has been com
mitted; and even then preclude it with
a kiss, and lovingly. r II
Never allow request to be repeat
ed. Il forgot is never an acceptable
excuse.
Marry into a different blood and
temperament from your own.

The labors of these great revivalists
have fairly begun in Brooklyn and the
press both secular and religious is
giving much space to reports and COM
ments. In one particular, at least,
they are successful of attract
ing large audiences of interested hear
ers. tits evident too, that the services
have produced a profound impression,
as instanced in the hundreds of per-
sons that have already presented them
selves as inquirers.
Much speculation is INDUCED in as TO
the ses,--whether the results are
produced by merely human influences,
or whether the supernatural element
is largely present.
Mr.. Moody's preaching, while not
eloquent, or even smooth in diction, or
graceful in language, is remarkably
direct, full of common sense, and high
ly illustrated by tender, appropriate,
pathetic anecdotes or facts. That it
goes directly to the hearts of the mass
es is indisputable. anaa
Mr.. Sankey's singing undoubtedly
fits in with, and supplements Mr..
Moody's preaching. We think the Sc
cret of his power lies in three things:
list, thorough appropriateness of the
pieces he sings. They chime in with
the sermon, are tender or command
ing as the occasion requires, and so
they are sure to deepen the impress
sions made by the sermon; End, they
are backed by genuine feeling on the
part of the singer. Mr.. Sankey is a
person of warm religious feeling, hence
his songs are marked b. deep fervor
which very naturally communicates
itself to the audience; 3D., power of
his voice. 1t is not new fact that
the human voice when attuned to mu-
sic, has strange power over audiences.
That Mr.. Sankey has such power is
fully conceded and this partially &C.
counts for the fact, that his simple
songs carry with them so much power
and force. So much for the merely
human agencies.
Beyond all this, however, there is
another element, which it is not in the
province of a secular journal to dis.
cuss. 1t is what is called the spiritual
influence. These men have a sincere
and humble reliance on Divine aid.
They declare that all their success is
due to God. They are childlike, sim,
pie men, who do not seek personal
reputation, but earnestly seek to draw
the people to religious life.
It is gratifying to note that their
work has begun so well, and the hope
may be INDUCED by all, that their sue
cess will be greater here than it was
in Europe.
