banks ready to be Invested the moment the
troops are withdrawn from the support OF . bas-

capital idle 1t necessarily follows that there must
be large amount OF labor idle, for capital and
labor are 40 identified with each other that IL IL
M tmpoesibihss 10 separate them. The meehan-
les and wurkngmen OF this city have waited with
patience and have passed through dreary, hard
winter with the hope that they would have plenty
OF work this summer. But, alas, their hopes arc
blighted and we SEQ nothing before ne
but . long, dreary summer, unless our
political difficulties are settled eoon, 30 NJ

We cannot blame the capitalists for holding back;
for, under the government that We have been
compelled to live under, they had no security for
their Investments. But now that wo have gov

This Sarsaparilla Is n combination Of
vegetable altcrativcs--Stillingia, Man
drake, Y elbow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most cfficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its Ingredients arc so skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, aud while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still SO cffcotual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corrpptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent ply sicians all over
the country rcpose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attcsting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and rs many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the host qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

The conviction Of ROBERT l.. CASE, late
President of the bankrupt Security Life
Insurance Company, Of perjury in swearing
to II false and fraudulent statement Of the
financial condition of the company, teaches
terrible lesson to all persons who have the
custody and management of the money and
property Of other people. The number Of
offences Of this nature that have come to
light during the last two or three years, and
especially within the past few months, is
startling. They show that gross breaches
of trust or culpahlc negligence among those
who control and handle the funds of indi-
NNHials, or public institutions. or private
| culp"fa~nus, are widespread in this cOun-
try, enlhracins in many instances business

lapscs from integrity tina, have been de-
tected are Of kinds that clearly Indicate
that there are hundreds Of others yet undls.
covered.
Scarcely week passes that does not I'M
cover some crime or negligence that impi-
Gates one or more untrustworthy individu-
ais, and entails serious losses on innocent
parties, The culpahle persons form n wide
circle. They are officers Of national banks
and savings banks, of life and fire Insurance
companies, Of trust companies, and similar
institutions, to the care of whose managers
is coniidcd millions of property belonging
to individuals toward whom these managers
occupy flduciary relations. Hardly fort
night goes by that we do not hear Of some
officer of this class who has ruined his com
pany or its shareholders or customers, either
by embczzling the property Of the one or
the other or by loanng funds 70 swinders
or hankrupts or OH worthless collateral Sc
curitics.
Other classes Of men occupying flducary
relations furnish their full quota Of offenders.
We refer to executors, administrators.
guardians. trustees assignccs in bankrupt
cy, receivers Of broken banks and in
surance companies, and so on through n
long list OF semi-otlcal persons, who hold n
tight grip upon the goods and chattcls,
lands and tenements of others, and can
make or break them at will by the handling
The breaches Of trust, the number Of en-
bcz2lcmcnts, and the losses from careless
ness and bad loans and investments, which
are constantly coming to the surface in this
kind of cases, are astounding.
Doubtless there is no complete remedy
for these evils. But n sound public opinion
can do something toward arrcsting them,
while the private interest of the sufferers
should impel them to seek all the rcpara-
ton which the law allows. Those who have
committed criminal offences should be in
dictcd and sent to prison, like CASE and
GILMAN; those who have been guilty Of
gross negligence, whereby losses have
fallen upon persons whose funds they have
mismanaged, should be sued in the civil
courts and compelled to make good the
losses to the last dollar.

THE CHIEF DUTY IN POLITIcs.

firm but moderate statement Of the ease be-

greatest vgor or else both sides will be
sure to concentrate all their powers upon
the art Of cheating rs the great instrument

ican party that 1t has not instituted an
honest investigation Of the facts Of the ,..ea

The managers Of the Methodist propa-
ganda In this city voted heavy sums Of money
yesterday for the benefit Of the heather. or
rather for the missionaries whom they have
sent to hcathcndom. They appropriated 1000
To Fast China. 50 600 to North China. and 81 COO
To Central China They appropriated s16.17l to
Japan. $22. $50 to Mexico. and s77 800 to various
countries Of Europe. Altogether. there was
great liberality displayed by the authorities Of
the Methodist Church in this city and it is evil
dent that though the times are hard. and mis-
cry abounds. there is still deep stream of
wealth flowing into the missionary treasury Of
the Methodist Church.
After the people who live far away have been
turned into Methodsts. there can be n good
field found in this city for the right kind OF mis-
sonarics Of practical and genuine religion.
Here idolatry. dcvl worship. and utter deviltry
have got their coils around hundreds OF thou
sands of people. These unconvcrtcd masses
know nothing OF genuine practical religion.
They have not learned that its fruits are to bc
seen growing upon the gaudy members Of fash
ionable churches: they do not enjoy the ser
mons Of the high salaricd. high toned. highly
gentre preachers Of fashionable pupiis: they
are not aware that righteousness Of life Is tho
mark Of those who make profession of religion
and they do not know that modern religion
cares anything about their salvation from devil
try 1t il an alarming state Of things: and the
Methodist bishops and ministers should give IA
thought to it after thinking Of China.

Calkins.

The Republicans Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives voted soldly against every prop
osition to reduce the army, and for every
amendment to keep it up to the highest
figure. They attempted to justify this
course, not upon the ground of any public
necessity, but because regular troops might
be needed to suppress possible riots. VIII
LIAM H. CALKINs, new member from In
diana, expressed the sentiment of his party
when he said:
