who set out to reach certain point. One
logged on securely afOOt One made himself
wings like Icarus and flew a furlOng, when
the sun melted the wax and down he came in
the slough. There are so many painters of one
picture, writers of one novel down there in
the mud with him. Or, if you are deyOut, you
have felt ardent aspirations, no doubt this
morning. You are going to carry Heaven by
assault in 1873. You set before yourself
ascetic sclf-denlal, raptures of devotion, and
in the reaching for them you are blind to the
wants of your Office boy, and nag your wife
at the breakfast table.
Let us put on no false wings to land lis in
the mire. 1t is not at all likely that 1878 will
bring to any of us great fame, or great Op
portunlties Of any sort, but it will bring us
millions of little ones. There Is the road of
the opening year before us. There is daily
ard hourly work to be done, whether thor
OGghly or fceby is for us to say: there are
unnumbered human beings along the way
waiting for help, encouragement, kind words
1T may be only for appreciation. They are not
far-Off heathens, Jews or ROumanians, but our
wives, ncghbOrs, our boy at school, the waiter
who serves us at the table. Whether they
shall turn away with fuller, happier lives for
our passing, is for us to say. Whether we shall
pass along this road with clean wholesome
bodies and manly souls, upward to where the
Master of all men waits for us, or creep
through foul paths downward, is for us to
say. BIT on this first of January let us plan
only for January the first. We shall find
enough work and reward in it. God will take
care of the rest.

STOP THIEF!

Wall Street was i'll fcrmcnt yesterday over
Failure" Mr.. John Bonner, like many
ether eminent dcfaulters whose names have
intensely respectable man. lie affected elegant
and cultivated tastes. lie had won some lit
lie success in literature. He held himself up
as a superior sort of moral inancicr. lie was
fond of denouncing the wickcdncss of every
body who suspected that there was rot
tenness in Wall Street. When the transac
tons of Meter & Co. came to light
he was incxpressibly shocked, and last
Thursday he was heard to declare with the
emphasis of indignant virtue that " Those
"scoundres ought to be in the State Prison.
Yet Mt that moment he was largely engaged
in the same SOFT of business which drove the
Meters TO flight, and was plotting the final
operations in the course of swindlng which
we describe this morning. During the last
davs of the week he seems to have rakcd in
all the securities he could get, and pledged
them for considerably more than the amount
of lis own loans; and between Sat
urday night ard Monday morning he
made OF with the plumber. In some
respects his cease is worse than that of the
other firm fof lac has disposed of the misap-
propratcd coliatcrals in such way that it
will generally be impossible for the owners to
recover them, and hc has raised large amount
of money on the stock Of the Bankers and
Brokers' Association, which his frauds have
made worthless
Gabriel Meter said the other day that fraud
ulcnt transactions like these were of constant
occurrence The fiigh; of John Bonner will
persuade people that he spoke the truth. II
will be Il frequent remark to-day that the tone OF
commercial morality must be very low III n
community where such fraud, can be common.
But It will not do to lay the blame upon Wall
Street Society and the newspapers treat financial
offenders with dcmorali2ng tenderness. The
Meters are allowed to cXcuipatc themselves in
confidential interviews with Western reporters.
Their acquaiutmccs are proiusc in express
sions OF sympathy. The world condemns their
methods OF business, but doubts whether 1t -
lust. after all, 10 Judge them too harshly for
dong what 80 many other, have done without
detection. Even the victims Of the dcfalca-
ton begin To wonder at last whether they
have not been too hasty in thinking them
selves robbed. To-day excuses viii be made
for Mr. john Bonner and that Intangible,
irresponsible entity called Wall street will be
held to account for the crimes of common
swindlcr. Let Us call things by their right
names. \ good way 10 raise the tone of the
Street if it Is too low, is to define it, trans
action, IN plain English. john Bonner is 4
thief His failure" is only a vulgar rob-
berry. His method of business was fraud.
His responsibility WAS hypocrisy. That is the
whole stoTy.

opposition in order to do it cffectually. 1t is
not likely that the attack would succeed, be-
cause the five Republicans who voted for the
confirmation of the Custom House nominations
when they were first submitted, would hardly
vote the same way under the totally different
conditions of second attempt. The break
between the President and tho Republican
party, however, would be equally serious
whether the nominations succeeded or failed.
With those who imagine that the cause OF re-
form is to be aided by helping the present plum
derng and repudiating Democratic party, it Is
not worth while to argue. We believe that the
duty of the hour is to put stop to internal
discussions, bring about better understand
ing between the Executive and the Legislative
branches of the Administration, consolidate
the Republican ranks for the coming conflict
with the most dangerous enemy the Nation
has had to face since Lee invaded Pennsyl-
vania, and meanwhile pursue the work of re-
form with the best agencies we can command.
Until the gravcr issues are closed, we confess
that the New-York Coliectorshp seems to us
n trivial matter.
