stupidity All Around.

The robbery of the Manhattan Savings
Bank yesterday was nominally the greatest
burglary on record, the value of the stolen
bonds registered, and consequently useless
to the thieves, being nearly three millions
OF dollars. But the most astonishing
feature of the transaction is the fact
that the janitor, who is described
as u very stupid person. should have been
intrusted with the combination key of the
vault. This key, an implement dangerous
enough in any hands. was doubly
hazardous to the interests of deposit
tors and stockholders when in possession
Of person living in the bank building
That the key of the Manhattan Bank was
SO intrusted shows degree of stupidity
almost inconceivable in bank officials had
not experience often shown that business
men have strange idea that the less intelli-
gence man has the safer he is. Depositors
in other concerns will be taking only ordi-
nary precautions if they at once ask some
pointed questions, for the strength of q
bank, like that of chain, is only that Of
it's weakest part.
The New York herald., 1878-10-28
Impenitent Moonshi n ers.

A smoonshiner" is man who makes
whiskey without leave or license from the
federal government and sells what he makes
without paying the federal tax. The noun
tains of North and South Carolina and
Georgia are full OF moonshiners, and ma
jority of them vote the republican ticket,
or did SO until the passage of the Civil
Rights act, which they resented under the
erroneous impression that it was q law COM
pelling their daughters to marry col
ored men. There is general belief
in the North that the moonshiners
are all democrats, which arises from
the fact that democratic Senators and
Governors have been conspicuous in
trying to get the Treasury Department to
forgive past moonshining. But this demo-
cratic solicitude arises, like the cynic's grat-
itude, out of lively sense of favors to
come out of hope that tho moonshino
vote may bo turned into the democratic
camp. We advise Governor Hampton, Sem
ator Ransom and the rest of the democratic
missionaries to let the federal government
deal direct with the moonshiners, and
to turn their attention to putting the
currency on specie basis and restoring
the country to prosperity. When that is
accomplished the revenues will be big
enough to allow Congress to repeal the
whole system of internal revenue taxation,
which arose out of the necessities Of the war.
and which, while it has brought and yet
brings good deal of revenue to the Treas
rry, has been the cause of q great deal OF
of1ice-holding and the means Of good deal
Of speculation and peculation.

Keep the Lights Burning

If the City Fathers are as indignant rs
they profess 10 be about the murderous as
sault upon Alderman Morris they cannot
express their sentiment in any other way
SO creditable to themselves and gratifying
to the injured man as by taking the action
which tor years he has urged in the matter
of street lighting. If lights in the streets
are necessary at all they are SO during the
whole period Of darkness. There are more
pedestrians and vehicles in the streets be-
tween five A. NJ. and daylight than there
ore in the four preceding hours; thou
sands of grocers, butchers, milkmen and
others whose business begins early are then
abroad. It is also the hour in which most
successful burglars escape with their
plunder SO why should there then be
darkness where in the silent ''wee sma'
hours" there was light? The hours in
which the street lamps are to be alight
should extend from sunset to sunrise, for
in cloudy weather, such as prevails morn
ing or evening in half the days of the year,
these hours are practically the beginning
and end Of the night. The present Gus
tom seems to bo to light at dark and extin-
guish at daylight, the lamplighters deciding
for themselves what these hours are; but
with due respect for this useful body of
public servants we claim that an important
feature of the safety of great city ought to
be in hands more responsible under the
law. Should IN energetic lamplighter ex-
tnguish his lights an hour or two before
daylight, to get through in time for an early
breakfast and days work of some other
kind beginning at seven o'clock, the Wild
est imagination cannot conceive of gas
company reprimanding him. Besides, no
stockholder or officer Of such company
ever has occasion to be awake at such
plebeian hours, and know how it is him

tial conflict, and Italy, defrauded in her

tial conflict, and Italy, defrauded in her
hopes, is sore and sour.
All the indications point to an early re-
newal of the conflict south of the Balkans.
And what will England do2 That problem
must be settled by her early, for it will not
do to DRIFT with events this time. Last
year the British government trotted out q
grand diplomatico-theatrica combination
with some shiploads of Hindoos brought
from India at enormous expense" to make
an absolutely first appearance on the
European stage" That coup showed that
if ever Earl Beaconsfeld should take to the
circus line Barnum might tremble for his
laurels, but it did not show much else.
But this time even that poor stroke is inn
possible, for the fierce Afghan soldiers will
not leave any leisure for the little Hindoos
to trot away to Europe in. 1t will be lively
for England next year, and the people Of
the slate United States will supply her
or other customers unlimited quantities of
grain and provisions tor cash or good
securities.
