Another respectable" man has left for
parts unknown, and with him have disap-
peared some seventy thousand dollars Of
the presumption that he was trustwo rthy
person. He was the teller in savings
bank. He put the depositors' money in his
pocket and made the various entries in his
accounts in such a way as to mislead any but
m expert accountant. He thus secured
impunity for his thievery, because expert
accountants only see the books of such
establishments some day when calamity
comes, with the inevitable receiver in its
train. 1t is true there are laws on the SUBJ
ject of savings banks and other banks, and
examinations are required but, as the pub
lie knows, that, like nearly everything else
required by law. is farce. Examiners are
appointed, not because they are capable, but
because they belong to the right party,
and what can a manipulation of conventions
do or say in the presence of a complicated
statement Of figures in bank books He
might as we'll be set to make q watch. In
consequence the thieveries are not detected
and the ROBBERY goes on. ms man can be
punished if caught and can be caught, in oil
probability, for his offence comes under the
extradition laws. His manipulation of the
checks on which payments were made was
apparently such a fraudulent perversion Of
the papers of tho bank from their true intent
as constitutes n forgery. He can also be
punished as fraudulent trustee or officer Of
bank under the Revised Statutes, for it is
one Of the singular contradictions Of our law
that trustee. or any person in trust rela-
ton in IN institution or joint stock COM
pany, can be punished for fraud, while n
trustee who acts under the authority Of a
private person has practical immunity for
his thcfts. Cannot the men at Albany stop
for minute the pursuit Of party bargains

The EASTERN QUESTION is one Of those in
.erminable troubles which no diplomacy can
settle, because the expediency of maintain
ing the Turkish Empire is offensive to
civilization. Disguise it as we may, there
is an irrepressible conflict between Mo-
hammedanism and Christianity, and it is
this fact which has kept the rebellion in
Herzegovina alive for so many months and
made the insurrectionary spirit general in
Bosnia also. The jealousies of Austria and
Russia are very important factors in the
contest, and, according to our news this
morning, the conviction is general in the
provinces that the Gar will be compelled to
aid the insurgents in the end. Something
of this kind will become necessary before
very long, for it is plain that Turkish guar
lntees are worthless in themselves and I'M
acceptable to those whom they are intended
to conciliate.

CHARLES O'CoSoR AND MRs. FORREST.
charge was published in some Of the journals
to the effect that Mr.. Charles O'Conor, while
pretending to serve Mrs. Forrest gratuitously
in the famous Forrest divorce suit, ac-
tually exactcd from her q very large sum for
his services. Mr.. O'Conor Indignantly de-
mics these accusations, and asks q trial by
the Bar Association of this city that his pro-
fessional honor may be indicated. This is
his due, although his denial will in itself carry
with it the weight of acquittal. Apart from
this Mr.. OConor's letter has feature that
will attract universal attention. namely. his
theory of the cause of Mr.. Forests strange
conduct in his domestic troubles. Accord
ing to this theory the quarrel was only a
device of the tragedian TO divert attention
from financial failure resulting from the
erection of the "castle" on the Hudson,
which he had not the means to finish. and, as
is apt to be the result of such devices, it
ended in the destruction of his home and
left dark spot on his fame. The theory is
ingenious, to say the least of it, and is prob
ably the key to very remarkable domestic
episode.

One of the results of the present discus
sion about cheap cabs is the discovery that
there now exist two classes of cab owners,
the privileged and the unprivileged. The
former class enjoy peculiar rights and are
indeed responsible for the maintenance of
the present extortionate rates. They have
secured desirable stands for doing bust
ness and really monopolize the bulk of the
patronage given that description of city
travel. Being in possession Of these advan-
tages the privileged" owners drive away
their unprivileged competitors, and the
public is deprived Of an inherent right to
employ cabs whose owners are disposed to do
business fairly. The unprivileged cabs,
therefore, labor under disadvantage, and.
being driven out of the field. excessive
prices are imposed on travellers who would
gladly avoid them otherwise. That this
state of affairs is altogether wrong and IN
just there can, of course, be no question.
Indeed, it is not only wrong but positively
illegal, for the Corporation cannot, under
the law or in justice to the taxpayers, be-
stow privileges on one class ofpublic servants
to the detriment of another, and at the same
time foster monopoly which robs the conf
munity. We say this, because to demand
an unfair price for service which can be
proftably performed at lesser rate is rob-
berry in the strictest sense of the word.
To.prove this it is only necessary to cite
the street railroads. If their charters did not
prescribe the rates for fares the different
roads would undoubtedly increase them
This is proven by the fact that some of the
companies, taking advantage OF certain
clauses in their charters, do charge their
passengers more than other roads. During
the war, when a tax Of the fractional part Of
cent was laid on each fare taken, the COM
panies combined and increased the fares by
an additional cent thus avoiding the tax
they ought to have themselves paid, and
while compelling the public to pay it Oh
tanned additional profits. Cab privileges"
are, therefore, inconsistent with the rights
of the public, which should be permitted to
profit by fair competition in cabs as it does
in all branches of trade. If a man is willing
to carry passengers in cabs at reasonable
rates he should be protected instead of be-
ing driven away by privileged" owners,
who usurp rights that do not properly be-
long to them.

An old book Of travels describes that three
quarters of a century ago the route from
Boston to Springfield was through dense
forest, and that wild turkey shooting was
one of the sports of Connecticut 1t ID
within shorter time that H. w. Herbert
wrote his book on the Warwick Woodlands,
o description of section Of country lying
within fifty miles Of New York. The char.
coal burner has devastated the New Jersey
landscape, and Longfellow and Lowell are
endeavoring to persuade the State Of Massa-
chusetts to preserve forest park of only
half dozen acres. The West is far wiser than
we. Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas have q
yearly holiday called 'sArbor Day." OF
which the people plant trees. Minnesota
already has millions of saplings tenderly
leafing on her stretches and knolls Iowa
everywhere shows that her once bare prairies
are to have their horizon broken into
picturesqueness and color by the maple and
the elm. No poem of Bryant's is more beau
tiful than that one in which he sings of 1.-The
Planting Of the Apple Tree" 1t is pretty
though sad idea that the snowy bearded old
poet, should be planting twig whose pink
white blossoms shall for the first time cheer
men when the letters on his tomb are scaled
and gray. He is a greater hero than thewar-
rior But the tree is an element of civiliza-
ton. When the vast arid plains of Wyoming.
Utah, Nevada and Colorado bear groves
rain will come, the climate will change,
artificial irrigation will be unnecessary,
labor will be lightened. men will be happier
and wealthier, and the desert will blossom
like the rose.

THE WEATHER CHANGES PREDICTED IN rHr

THE WEATHER CHANGES PREDICTED IN THE
HInALD of Sunday are about to be expert
enced, and within the period therein an
nounced. Already the temperature has
risen and the wind shifted to the eastward,
blowing toward the advancing depression.
The gradual movement across the meridian
Of New York of the high barometer which
was the course of the brisk northwestcrly
winds that have prevailed since Friday
night, and which followed the storm of the
preceding two days, was marked by the cor
responding gradual decrease Of the velocity
of the northwosterly wind on Monday from
TWENTY-FIVE to four miles an hour Last night
we were on the westerly side Of this high
barometrc area, the centre having passed
during the afternoon. The condition of the
weather to the westward as far rs the AIissis-
sippi River is threatening Cloudiness and
rains prevail in the Ohio Valley, and slight
freshet will probably make itself felt later on
in the Mississippi by temporary suspension
Of the lowering of the flood levels between
Cairo and Memphis. Beyond the Mississippi
The weather is clearing, with northwesterly
winds. and these conditions may be ex-
pected to prevail here about the end Of the
week. The low barometer passing off the
mouth Of the ST. Lawrence has developed o
vnow fall at Chatham, New Brunswick.

In the appointment of our Ministers at
foreign courts it is point little considered
and yet eminently worthy attention that
they should be not merely capable publicists
or diplomatists, but that they should be rep
resentative of the nation MS we assume that
a Congressman should be Of his constitu-
ents. This phase of the fitness of things
in diplomacy was effectively seen in the case
of Mr.. Washburne in Paris. At the time he
was appointed he was not thought to DO a
good choice for the place. People COM
mented harshly upon sending one who was
criticised as crude Hoosier to represent us
in that civilized capital, whittier oil other
nations send their ripest scholars and their
most capable politicians. But there came a
time Of trial. and then it was seen that the
only nation that had Minister in Paris who
was in any sense like the people of the
country from which he came-a type Of the
nation he representatives, the United
States. From the unpleasantness of Paris
in state Of siege Lord Lyons amiably with
drew. That was not like sturdy John Bull.
Spaniards, Italians, Russians, Austrians re-
tired one after the other, and even the Turk,
though believing stolidly that what was to
be wonld be, preferred to be at distance
from Paris when calamity came But the
representative of the American people
"held the fort" ct which the Stars
and Stripes were mounted on the Rue
Chaillot He proved himself the man
for the place by his plain American quail
ties, simple courage, resolution, common
sense. All the international lawyers in the
world would not have been his equal, unless
in addition to their legal attachments they
had had qualities like his. Now, it is from
a view Of this sort Of adaptation of man to
the place because he is q type Of the people
from whom he goes that we urge the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Longfellow as Minister to
London. Our Minister in London is not SO
much legal or political envoy from one
government to another as he is delegate
from the American people to the English
people. His commission is to society, not
to the Grown lawyers. In fact, the Queen
of England herself is scarcely part of the
political machinery. She is the head Of So
ciety. Although called the Executive, yet
in every practical point the executive func-
ton long since became the possession of the
Ministers. But the Queen, as the head and
front of society, is still great fact, and the
representative from this country to her
Court should be such type of our own cul-
tured and refined society as would give the
best impression of it to English society, and
as would be most welcome there 1t would
be impossible to fill these requirements
more satisfactorily than by the appointment
Of Mr.. Longfellow.

the two-thirds rule was mere method of en-
phasizing the known strength of particular
candidate. There was such strong concen-
nominating President jackson for re-
election that the two-thirds rule was
adopted as q means of giving emphasis to a
foregone choice, as more recent conventions
pass vote making nominations unanimous
after they have been adopted. The two-thirds
rule was continued from like motives in
1886, when it was certain that Mr.. Van Buren,
would receive at least two-thirds of the
votes on the first ballot. 1t was dropped in
1910, and would never have been revived if
the pro-slavery section of the party had not
had a strong motive for defeating the choice
of the majority in 1914. 1t was fully I'M
derstood that Mr.. Van Buren, was to receive
the nomination, until he wrote letter
opposing the annexation of Texas. The
Southern democrats thereupon determined
to defeat him, and as he was certain of
majority Of the delegates the slave influence
revived and enforced the two-thirds rule,
which accomplished their immediate object,
national conventions since, to the detriment
Of the party and the advantage of aspiring
mediocrity.
This absurd usage can be easily over
thrown if the democratic press will take up
the subject and declare the real views of the
masses in advance of the Convention of st.
Louis. 1t will not bear examination and
will fall before the first attack if all that
part Of the democratic press will oppose it
which has an interest in its abrogation. The
friends of every prominent candidate have
an equal motive for condemning this mon
strosity. Neither the supporters of Mr..
Tilden, nor of Mr.. Bayard, nor of Mr.. Thur
man, nor of any other talked of candidate.
can think it just that he should be defeated
and thrown out if he succeeds in getting
majority of the Convention. The two
thirds rule may be worked rs political
guillotine against every candidate fit to be
nominated, and their supporters, one and
all, have an equal interest in expunging this
absurd rule from the usages of the party.

THE AMERICAN BARON. 1t is Q very
funny story which Antonio De Costa tells Of
meeting William M. Tweed in Italy and
not the least amusing part Of it is the an
nouncement that the ex-Boss is travelling
on the Continent as an American baron.
We may sympathize with Mr.. De Costa be-
cause he did not know that ssTweed was
escaped;" but we can scarcely desire the
arrest Of ssthe old man" after what we are
told of him, for, besides, certain Count
Tweed is the only baron in our peeragc. and
it would be pity to interfere with the
journeyings of this distinguished repre-
sentative Of our nobility.

THE WASHINGTON SAFE BURGLARY.-We
print this morning another chapter in the
history of the famous Washington safe burg
larry, the contribution consisting of an in.
terview with Miles, the burglar, who is serv.
ing out term of imprisonment in the Yer
mont State Prison. The significance of what
Miles says on the subject is in the allegation
that General Babcock was present at
and took part in the discussion of the job
before it was attempted and in the corrobo-
ration of Whitley. At the same time it
must be confessed that Miles is a bad wit
ness but it is only through such as he that
the truth can be obtained in this matter, and
it is for this reason that we print the story
which he has seen fit to relate.

The REPUBLICAN THIEVES IN South CADo-
LIMA triumphed over the Chamberlain fac

we suppose, the organization Of the party
will fall into tho hands of the corrupt men

even South Carolina to the democracy in the
Presidential election-a result which the
people Of that State would have no occasion
to deplore.

I'd Of June being named as the day of his
execution. 1t is understood that his coun-
