The president and secretary of the Teu-
tonia Savings Bank, who have been ar
rested on charges preferred against them
before police justice, have been held in
five thousand dollars BAIL 1t is fortunate
that we have plain, straightforward case
for prosecution at last, in which, If the ac-
cused are guilty, there will be no room for
escape on technicalities. In the trial of
other bank and insurance officers accused
of having made false statements under oath
in regard to the condition of their institu-
tons pleas have been interposed that they
swore to such exhibits in ignorance or on
information given to them by bookkeepers
and clerks, or that they did not make any
affidavit at oil, simply signing the forms in
blank. The offence charged against the
Teutonia Bank officials is of different
character. II is alleged that they en-
tered or caused to be entered, on the
books of the bank larger salaries than we're
actually paid to their employees, and larger
premiums than were actually paid for bonds
and other securities in which the banks
funds were from time to time invested, and
divided the difference between themselves
and the other trustees. These false entries
by which the bank was defrauded we're de-
livered to the persons dealing with the
institution as the true and correct accounts
of it's transactions. The law deals with
such an net very clearly under the head Of
forgery. The provision Of the Revised
Statutes relating thereto il as follows:-

and without adequate transportation, CLOTH

they would take the warpath and never

them. The officer lays most of the blame
upon the agents, who as class lie, steal
and misrepresent affairs to suit themselves;
but the nation, the Indian Bureau, Con-
gress and the Executive, ale directly re-
sponsible for the appointment and retention
OF rascals at posts OF such grave Importance.
The inspection of agencies which has been
begun is q step in the right direction, but
it proceeds too slowly for the interests OF
justice and peace, even were it unadvisable
to clear ourselves, in Indian eyes, of the
suspicion of being a nation of liars, thieves
and brutes.

Polo.

We were surprised to find the following
in that usually we'll informed and brilliant
journal, the Sun, yesterday morning EFT
may do to bring polo and other British
nonsense to Newport but monarchicsl no.
tons Of government are out of place on
American soil"
We are astonished that the San should
speak of the game of polo as coming from
England. 1t is on Indian game, and has
been found very useful in India in improv-
ing the activity and usefulness of cavalry.
1t is, in fact, the American game Of
shiny. played on horseback, and it is
amazing that o journal whose brilliant edi-
tor and proprietor was formerly famous as
q velocipedist, and who has always had
credit for q manly taste for manly
outdoor sports and athletic games,
should sheer at polo It is not an
aristocratic or exclusive game or sport, for
the ponies used cost but trife, not the
tenth part of the cost of good trotting
horse. That it develops Workmanship is
not doubted by any one, and if it had been
known and generally played before our lats
war there would have been no occasion for
General SCOTS famous lament thatit would
require eight months constant drill to
enable our volunteer cavalry to get a firm
seat and use their sabres without cutting
off their horses heads or their own.
1t is pity, therefore. that polo was not
imported twenty years earlier. But surely
its being imported is nothing against
it. The velocipede was, We believe,
imported from France; but it never
occurred to us to make that re-
proach to those who enjoyed it. Boat
racing by college crews was imported from
England but it is nevertheless q manly
sport and exercise. which has kept many of
our college youth in health and made them
ADLER to perform the duties of life, and it
would be ridiculous to snoer ut the recent
victory of the Columbia crew over the Eng
lishmen on the ground that boating is i'm
ported British nonsense. We are confident
our respected contemporary, whose mad
vertence we have felt obliged to notice, does
not wish to build Chinese wall around
this country. 10 make it matter of re-
proach that game or other thing is i'm
ported is to forget that most of our GUS
toms, most of our laws, and for that matter
all Of our forty-seven millions Of popula-
lation, excepting Indians untsxed," lie
open to the same reproach.

tain class of bonds and stocks only,
and it now possesses Q surplus over
and above the amount for which it
was thus pledged. Various propositions
have from time to time been made for the
appropriation and expenditure of this sur
plus. but under Comptroller Kelly's in
fuence the wiser policy has prevailed OF
continuing the sinking fund and extend
ing its security to all city bonds and stocks
Of every description, except revenue bonds
issued in anticipation of taxes, making,
however, those bonds and stocks originally
thus secured preferred charge on the
fund. Thus all our bonds and stocks, in
addition to the general credit of the city,
have now pledged for their full and final
redemption an inviolable fund, the ample
revenues of which are largely increasing
year after year and cannot be diverted.
The act in question empowers the Com
missioners of the Sinking Fund to issue
consolidated stock" payable at dates of
from twenty to fifty years, bearing not more
than five per cent interest, for which out
standing bonds and stocks may be ex-
changed, or with the proceeds of which, at
not less than par, they may be re-
deemed. largo amount of our old
bonds are at six and seven Per cent
and if we decrease the interest on our debt
which, except the small portion paid from
the interest sinking fund, is an annual
charge-we lessen our yearly taxation. OF
course the owners Of six and seven per cent
bonds cannot be compelled to accept in
stead bonds bearing q lower rate of interest.
But many who hold for investment would,
beyond doubt, be glad to exchange compar-
atively short bonds bearing seven per cent
interest for fifty years bonds bearing five
or even four and a half per cent, rather than
risk being able to find as good interest and
as good securities for their money when
their six and seven per cent bonds fall due
and are redeemed. The consolidated stock
is OF course secured on the sinking fund.
We believe that the Comptroller, by press
ing this policy with his well known energy.
may wipe out large portion of our six and
seven per cent interest bearing debt by in
viting its exchange at par for long consoli-
dated stock at five per cent interest, and
probably at less.

krCsWs To Have Thorough Rapia
srt. Transit

The managers Of the Metropolitan Ele-
waited Railroad displayed such extraordinary
and commendable energy in the construc-
ton OF their road to Fifty-ninth street that
they must not be surprised to find the
people correspondingly disappointed and
annoyed at their apparent indifference to
tho further prosecution OF the work They
were expected to give us real rapid transit
on the west side, and this they have not yet
done. II the avowed object OF the company
had been only to build ON elevated railway
between Fifty-ninth street and Rector
street it would never have received its
charter. The city would not have con-
sented that one Of its principal avenues
should be occupied by such structure in
order to enable people to get down
town from the south end of the
Central Park to the City HILL fifteen
or twenty minutes quicker than by
tho horse cars. The most important
benefit of rapid transit TO the public is that
1t will open up the handsome territory in
the upper part of the island and in the new
wards for convenient residences, thus re-
lieving crowded districts, affording health
full homes to oil classes Of citizens, develop
ing building improvements and raising the
value of property. without it does this
rapid transit is nothing but private specu-
lation to make money for few individuals
ct the public cost. The people have right
to demand that the Metropolitan Elevated
road be completed its entire length without
any needless delay, and Mr.. Garrison, MI.
Foster and their associates should push the
work ahead at once and not forfeit the high
reputation for energy which the company
has thus far gained.

President in 1880 than we have Of snow
storm in the middle of August. But when
two-thirds of the democratic leaders COM
NIT themselves to imitation and repudiation
at the very moment when the country is
just emerging from tho long gloom of in
dustrial distress caused by imitation, and the
other third have not word of sense to say
to the people. it does not require extraor-
binary discernment to see that the so
called democratic party is simply smooth
ing General Grants way to the White
House.
As to extending the Presidential term to
six years and making the President ineligi-
BILE to reelection, this suggestion has, we
believe, the favor of almost everybody ex-
cept the politicians. 1t is liked by sensible
people because of general conviction that
the country needs, with the increase in
population and the greater complication OF
our industries, greater steadiness in the adj
ministration of its affairs. But we imagine
even our contemporary would have pre-
ferred six years of General Grant to two
terms and eight years.

How Can tho load He Tighten ed .
The city of New York is heavily taxed for
its municipal government and bears on OPP
terest. This is due mainly to corruption
md extravaganza prior to 1878, and partly
to the unfortunate management that sue
ceeded the overthrow of the old Ring"
administration. The effect has been very
damaging to real estate in the city, which
load of annual taxation, assessments for in
judicious improvements and the stagnation
consequent on general business dcpres-
sion. Under our present financial manage
ment we have for the FIRST time in many
years commenced to decrease the amount Of
the city debt, while greater economy is
shown in our annual appropriations
Still, our progress in the right direction
is necessarily slow, mainly through the
existence of laws which obstruct economy
It must be the object Of our municipal
authorities and especially Of the head of the
of oil such laws.
At the same time 1t is to be hoped that
the provisions of the act relating to the
funded debt Of the city, passed at the close
of the last session, will be promptly made
available to better our financial condition.
That law materially improves the security
of our city stocks and bonds-that is to say,
while they we're entirely safe before 1t
makes them more desirable Investments in
foreign markets by sacredly pledging the
sinking fund to their payment until they
shall nll be fully and finally redeemed.
