is no other way of estimating him.
To maintain, however, this position requires
a constant and somewhat profuse expenditure
of money. 1t is not long since extravaganza

When 1t is discovered that the custodian of
Others cash has been handling and spending it
as if il were his own, and not sticking at
forgery, even, when he has found il convent
ent, the questions are immediately asAod
What were his personal habits Where has
the money gone Very often 1t happens that
the hugest deaulter has been OutWardly one
of the best of men, a steady church g0er and
church member, not gwen to hard drinking or
audaclous gambling, nor TO excessive hospi-
tally but, to all appearances, chaste, sober,

citizen. Mr. Gilman was a man of this kind.
So Mr. Alligcr, it is stated, was singularly
/" free from all vices" But the world, by tins
time, ought not to be astOnishcd NJ anything
occurring IN financial circles 1t ought to t,ke
into account that IT is the reputable man who
is trusted.
The lesson Of the hour is that man can
get rid of a great deal of money in doing
things for which nobody thinks of blaming
him. Society takes him, at least while he has
money to spend Mt his own estimate. If he
builds house at IA cost of 100000, and fills
it with fine furniture worth as much more il
he puts up the prettiest stable III the neigh

Two new novels are added to-day to THE TRIBUNE
series. which inclndes round dozen Of the very
best stories in recent fiction. Alice Lorraine" by
Mr.. Il. ID. BlackmOre. and THE CITRATE in Charge"
by Mr.. Oiphant. are the new issues, aud, in the
cheap form IN which they offered, they will find
ready welcome from the many readers and admirers
Of both authors. Neither story has heretofore been
pu'lished in this country in its present form, at
price which pats il within the reach of every one
and both haze merits which should insure general
circulation. Now that the long evenings are coming
on we commend The TRIBUNE Novels to all who
are in search Of rational and intelligent fiction, con-
fdent hat they Will find in other publication
equal value for an equally small amount of money.
A full list of the novels to date with the price of
each. appears in another column of this paper.

Two of the new Custom House officers for
this city are as COOL as appointed according
to our Washington dispatches. They are Theo-
dore Roosevelt for Collector and General b..
A. Merritt for Surveyor, and the selections are
understood to be Secretary Evartss, the Presi-
dent and Secretary Sherman referring the
whole matter of new appointments to him.
The choice of General Merritt for one OF the
three principal Custom House places has been
Anticipated for months, and nothing need be
added here to the hearty commentator TIE
TRIBUNE has already given of his charac-
ter and capacity. His previous experience in the
Naval Office makes him thoroughly familiar
with Custom House business, and if politics
are to be considered in connection with the ap-
pointment, it is worth remembering that he is
q representative Of the best element IN the Re
publican party. Mr. Roosevelt Is a gentleman
of high social standing and irreprOachable
character, who is not enough of politician to
cause his appointment to wound any political
susceptbilines. He is thoroughly identified
with the interests of Newly York, he knows
what the city needs, he cOmpre hends the
wants of the mercantile community. he is n
man of ability, and he will have no masters
to serve OF selfish ends TO gain. Such "A col
lcctOr ought to he able to administer the office
with energy, fairness and honesty.

political in Ncw-Jersey, the General grew Devil
de ed and hesitant and finally referred the matter
to Senator Randolph, who wisely and promptly

weary hours ready to seze his man. After the hope
had faded INTO doubt, and doubt had sickened TO
despair Mr. Clark turned slowly away, and his sad
ness was not mtigated when he learned that the
other faction had been enduring much sly comfort
all day long at his expense As result OF the whole
matter there is great deal of acute unhappness in
know who Is the Democratic party in that nelghbor
hood lie demands, too, an emphatic expression OF
opinion on this vital ISSUE both from Senator Ran

Mr. Goodwin Smith is taken to task by The PdH

Willingness of England to sacrifice the Bulgarlans
for the sake of preserving its Eastern Empire. IL

as he reasons, there would have been no war OF Sc
cession but they said to themselves that they wodld
never let their children inherit from them smaller
territory than hid descended to them from their
fathers-they would not if they could help it, de-
scend one step lower in the scale of nations. Or
course 1t is added that Englshmen are not
going to show themselves less worthy be-
cause less proud than Americans of an impe-
rial rule IL is also limited that Mr. Goodwin
smith has lived so long in America that he has lost
something of his admiration of his native land, of
It's institutions of its policy, and Of It's influence,
which rises in the bulk of Englishmen to the enthu-
siasln Of patriotism.

Congressman Schleicher is somewhat of al
alarmIst about Mexican affairs, and, like most
Texans, frequently clamors for "more troops"
His account of the offensive tone of the news
papers in the Mexican border States deserves
serious attention. however. 1t is not probable
that the threat of counter invasion of United
States territory will be carried out but it
seems pretty certain that it would be a much
more serious affair for our troops to cross the
lower Rio Grande, where there is tolerably
dense and intolerably hostile population, than
are the incursions they occasionally make
into the region further up, inhabited only by
Indians and few stray "Greasers."

Travellers on the Sound steamers seldom re-
alize that in their brief voyage of single
night, on land-ocked waters, they arc ex-
posed to any of the perilS of ocean navigation.
They go to bed in the huge floating hotels
with as much confidence of good sleep and q
safe waking as though they were on shore. The
passengers on the Massachusetts, on Thursday
night discovered however, that a staunch boat
sailing the smooth Sound, is not always a
place of safety. They had thrilling expert
ence and lucky escape. The steamer got far
out of her course, and at midnight
in the midst of the storm, ran upon rock on
the Long Island coast, near Greenport Or
course the fault was the pilots, who ought to
know how to steer as well III the darkest
night as at MONDAY. FOrtunat ly. the boats
OF the fishermen living on the shore were at
hand to take the frightened passengers to land
through the dangerous surf, and not single
life was lost.

News of another insurance company in trouble
comes 10 hand with rather more frequency
than successive discoveries of asteroids. In the

equal importance, the Arctic Fire Insurance
Company being a small concern aud having
within few years reduced its capital. No
dishonesty is charged against the management,
and the deficiency of assets is not startling.
