What Is Cruelty to Childrens

The Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children on Monday tore little
girl from the arms of her mother and sent
her to an asylum. It strikes us, as it will
many others, that the society is either
misnamed or it is engaged in piece Of
business of which it ought to be ashamed.
There has been a long quarrel over the
little Mabel Leonard, in which the society
does not, on the whole, appear to ad-
vantage. The end of it, for the present, is
that Mabel Leonsrd's mother is in Jail for
contempt of court in having got posses
sion Of her little girl after she was taken
away, and the girl is sent in tears to the
House of Mercy. There is no doubt that
she is fondly attached to her mother in
deed, she Wanted to go to Jail with her.
We do not notice any attempt in
court to prove the mother q bad
character, or to show that she would mall
treat her child or endanger her morals.
We suppose the mother must suffer for her
contempt of court but we confess, after
making inquiry into the case, we should
prefer to see the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children take their heavy
hands off; we should even prefer to see the
little girl 60 to Jail with her mother. Pre-
vention Of cruelty to children surely does
not consist in dragging them away from
their mothers, unless these are notoriously
vile or cruel women. 1t looks to us like q
case Of marrying poor woman who prob
ably knows nothing Of law and whose affec-
ton for her child leads her to try to be with
that child ut all hazards.
Are there no other cases for the society
to use its superfuous energies on? Suppose
it should investigate the lives and sufferings
of the numerous little street beggars, many
of whom ask for charity with the dreadful
certainty that they will be cruelty beaten if
they 90 home without theirstint Of pennies
The public is little tired Of the society
energetic persecution of Mabel Leonard.
The little girls tears make the society s
name ridiculous.

Tn. wall street Forgery.

The discovery yesterday morning that
William G. Gilman, one Of the most respect
able and trusted men in business in Wall
street, had been engaged in clumsy but
apparently systematic and extensive series Of
frauds, caused not merely alarm but grief in
banks and banking houses, with many Of
whose managers Gilman had had friendly
relations for many years. Tbs house Of
which he became the head on the death Of
his father some years ago was regarded as
one of the most respectable and trustworthy
on the street; indeed, the forgeries which
have come to light are SO clumsily done that
they could not have deceived their victims
if they had been uttered by any one to
whom suspicion would attach.
The whole extent of the alterations Of GER
tificates is probably not yet known. 1t was
hoped at first that only the scrip certificates
Of the Atlantic Insurance Company had been
tampered with, but it is now known that
bank stock owned by Gilman was also
''raised" to larger amounts, and it is thought
that the sum of the forgeries which reached
over two hundred thousand dollars yester-
figure
When this crime was first discovered there
was natural indisposition to believe that
Gilman could be guilty of it, but several
circumstances seem to leave no doubt that
he alone was the author of the forgeries.
He appears to have acted with remarkable
GOODNESS and delibcration, and there is no
doubt that he was in town yesterday morn
ing, and disappeared only when the crime
became known. Coming SO close upon the
heels Of the Morton frauds in Philadelphia
this event will shock confidence all over the
country. In this case, as in Morton's, the
criminal is man of respectable connections,
OF the highest standing among bankers and
of on apparently blameless life, and this
adds to the painful and irritating impression
which the event produces. Men naturally
ask who can be trusted when such men
break their trusts and take to the most
vulgar Of crimes.

natural demand at their Offices; but the law
is so loosely wordcd that it allows the
postmasters to sell stamps wherever they
can find customers and as it is cash
business, attended with no risk or expense,
many postmasters in the country have ex-
tended their business to the larger cities,
with, of course, considerable profit to them
selves and loss to the Post Office Depart
ment. The sale of stamps at the New York
Post Office, for instance, has fallen of from
s592, GA for the quarter ending September
80 of last year to $3.50, 487 for the quarter
just ended-a decrease of over $36, 600, and
a loss, seemingly needless, to the govern
ment of nearly $50, 900 per annum shown
here alone OF course this is but small
part Of the total.
