STo1yy-TUREg MILLION DOLLARS!

The pIllaging-for it can hardly be called
robbcry-of the Manhattan Savings Institution
is. for its holiness and the thoroughness OF its
work, one of the most extraordinary events
of the kind, if not the most extraordinary, in
the recent history of this city. 1t is scarcely
credible that savings bank standing on
Broadway, at the corner OF one OF It's busiest
cross streets and within a few steps ct the
Police Headquarters, should be entered by day
light, the janitOr and his wife bound an"
gagged, the combination of the vault lock eX-
tortcd from the ianitor and nearly S3,ooo,Ooo
worth OF securities taken from the vault and ont
of the building. without so much as breath OF
suspicion disturbing the quiet OF the neigh
borhood; and that all this while other ten
ants in the building should begin the LIE OF
the day unconscious that this bold crime was
being Dcrpctrated within few feet of them.
The only reassming feature III the whole
case is the fact that the great bulk
of these securities are not negotiable. The
robbers have secured, however, $4,000 IN
coupon bonds, and S11 900 cash and they
have compelled the bank to take advantage
of the sixty days act The absence of
the securities will practically suspend the
police find the robbers soon the bank may be
forced, in self-preservation, into one OF those
disgraccful compromises with the thieves in
which such operations so often end.
1t is easy to blame the police in these cases,
and yet il is plain that great robbery like
this might be committed. either through col
fusion with persons inside the bank building or
by the great skill of the burglars, in such
way that the police would have no reason to sus-
pcct any such crime to be Oh foot. The fact
which will be much more apt to force itself
upon the attention of the public Is that Ettle
better care seems to have been taken OF the
vast sums committed to the charge of
the bank than a dIyg00dS merchant or
even a c0rner-grOcCr takes OF his stock.
The night -watchman seems to have been in
the habit of leaving his post as soon as he had
Knocked on the ianitor's door and received n
sleepy response; the Waterman declares Ill
his defence that he shut the door OF the
building on leaving, but tenant states that
he came through and found the door wide open.
These are perhaps lapses from fidelity winch
bank officers cannot always know, and can
not therefore punish; but what shall be said
of the management of bank which Intrusted
TO its jantOT the combination opening its
gleat vault2 There is only too much reason to
suspect that this janitor was III cOiluslon with
the robbers; there is only too much reason
TO fear that any poor man, holding such
! place, might be tempted or forced to give up
| such secret. If such system exists in any
well-rcgulatcd bank in this city, the public will
be astonished to hear It. Whether it does exist
! or not, the managers of the Manhattan
| Savings Institution can hardly escape general
censure for gross carelessness upon vital
point respecting the safety OF the funds con-
| fded to their keeping.

ASS1SSyy4TJON IN NEW.YORE.

The attempted murder of Alderman Morris on
Sixth-avc. on Saturday morning, shows how easily
men maybe killed i'll New-York. The important
point is not the dastardly deed tself-it is the
stence Of the bastard and the demonstration that
life here is exposed in measure to the same perl
which besets il in countries notorious for skulking
and coyarGly homicides. The act being considered
il is a matter Of little consequence what motive
nerycd the would-be murderer's arm or whether he
made mistake in the selection of his victim. He
meant TO dispatch somebody. if not Alderman Nor
ris That gentleman af1irms that ne is not aware OF
the existence of a personal enemy of such
stamp in the world. We have, however
a plenty of men whose feuds are desperate
whose passions are uncOntroliable and
who are sometimes ready to sl1y an enemy even
when detection aud punishment are weli-nich III
evitable. These men, however are not usually as
sassns They do not in the dark waylay the objects
of their hatred They are as likely 10 strike in
broad daylight and in Broadway, as TO do so in an
empty avenue under the gray sky of early dawn.
We have not yet quite Daturalized the cloak and
dapgcr. A crime like this which is like biz of
business in n BOwery melodrama, OF of specially
thrilling interest la dime novel, is only common
in the pictured placards which deform our fences
and dead walls. But because il is not already COM
mon il is hardly safe TO conclude that il may not
become so, if once il is evident TO our dangerous
classes that il may DC committed with fair chance
of escape from its consequences. The worst of the
assault upon Alderman Morris is that il is possible
Noman can now walk at such an hour and in such n
thoroughfare, however courageous he may be, with
out some sense of uneasy apprehension. lie may
have enemies totally unknown TO him. He may be
mistaken for some one else. Some armed man. mad
with drink, may come across his path and if he
goes along WaTily, and aYails himself of all possible
precautions, nobody has right now TO tauut him
with timidity.
In the presence Of such dangers, the whoecommu.
nity has a right having handsomely paid for protec-
tion 20 demand IL, so far IL is possible. There
has been so much talk the foolish economy Of
gushing the gasghts an hour before daybreak-
talk occasioned by this very assaultha the absurd
and dangerous practice will probably be abandoned
But our great safety is in general police activity,
in keeping as many thieves, roughs, and Other
chronic nuisances locked up as much as possible
and in setting our faces resolutely against every
scheme that can possibly impair the efficiency of the
guardians of public order, aud draw OFF the zeal
of the Police Board from their legitimate duties to
make them serve the purposes of political faction
The criminal attempt on Saturday will serve a good
purpose if it politicians Of the danger Of med
ding with the police.

Ed. INTELLIGENCER On the night
OF May I'd some party or parties cut
loose the ropes attached to the Ohm
stead ferry boat across the Yakima
river, which is run by means Of a cable,
and LET it drift down the Yakima river.
1t seems the purpose of the miscreants
was not accomplished, as the boat be-
ing caught on log which projected
from the shore, only drifted three miles
from the landing. To check snch law

held in West Kittitas at the 18th dis

the statement contained in the EreHiHg

a consolidation Of all the mines under
the control Of the firm of Flood s. o.
Brien, including the Union Consolidat-
ed, Mexican, Ophir, California, Consol-
idated Virginia, Best & Bslcher, Gould
& Curry, Savage, and Hale 81 Norcross,
had been effected. 1t is learned from
inquiry at the Office of j. &. Flood,
that some consideration has been given
to the question of cffeeting some ar
rangement by which the working ex-
penses of the mines might be reduced,
such as the appointing of common
superintendent for all the mines in
question, and in other ways by com
munity of action lessening the cost of
operation; but that no steps have been
taken in that direction as yet, and no
consolidation of the companies has been
thought of.

A SUGGESTION.

We would recommend that some of
the enterprising citizens of Seattle turn
their attention IN time to securing a
controlling interest in the new gold
mines Of our neighbor county to the
castwsrd-Yakima. These mines are
gradually but steadily looming up to
greater prominence. The operations
are extending, and good reports are
received of the results. Mr.. Shoudy
Q few days ago disposed of about
$4,000 of the dust in Portland the
product of an old fashioned arastra, OPP
Grated mile from the ledge The Pc
shsstin rock is easily worked, and said
to be worth $50 per ton.
Seattle ought to be in q situation to
afford sure and remunerative market
for ell the grain, hay, fruits, vegetables,
" DOL, hops, provisions. dairy products
ETC., etc, that the fertile country round
about can produce. Nothing can bet
ter enable her to do this than the pos
session of gold mines to supply the
ready equivalents of exchange. Let
cur city once become an eatrepot. q gen
eral market goal for the crops of the
surrounding country. and her rapid
growth in wealth and population IS Sc
cured. Why not organize company
for the working of one of the now fairly
opened quAtz lodges OF tho Yakima
district. and put up cheap steam mill
for its economical development. The
expense need not be very great, nor
should it be. The gain to the Yakima
people would be so considerable, from
the impetus it would give their coun.
try, that they could we'll afford, aud
no doubt would, extend every facility
aud encouragement within their power
