"Plain Language from Truthful


The more the affairs Of the defunct Glas-
gov Bank are stirred the more offensive
they become and the manner in which the
English and Scotch press attack the late
management should delight every one who
has lost money by the failure. AS these
journals have always claimed the reputation
Of telling the truth. particularly about
Irregularities of American fnanciers, it
becomes matter of interest to discover
how they treat those Of their own land.
We are glad to be able to testify
to their extreme indignation against
the Glasgow thieves. The London Times
says the official report of the Investigators
is lone of the most disgraceful in the
history of banking" and that the great loss
could never have occurred had it not been
for deliberate and long continued fraud" :"
The Glasgow Herald says, "The law will
offer no protection for society at large if an
attempt is not made to ascertain the legal
responsibilities of the men who have proved
thus false to their trust and thus guided the
bank to its doom. The Ne,rs, Of the same
city, talks of astounding Frauds" "every
conceivable method Of deception" and
'knaves of the blackest dye" while the
Evening Times says that the statements Of
its London contemporary of similar name
cannot be denied, and that the case is all
the worse because the ''scandalous crime
occurred in the professedly most religious
city in the most religious country in the
world"
The moral of the whole sad business is
that human nature is the same everywhere,
and that few men who, by election or
otherwise, find themselves in control of
large quantity of money belonging to other
people, and without close supervision by
some disinterested officials, will not stop to
consider whether they are in Glasgow or
New York before they begin to speculate and
peculate. The losses by the Glasgow bank
exceed those of the combined defalcations
reported in the United States during the
the past two years, but the geographical
and religious environment of the bank has
neither helped nor hindered the directors
in their rascality. The results upon busi-
ness and society are indicated in our special
cable dispatches of to-day. Will Americans
take warning and watch their bankers as
carefully as they do any one else who han
dies their money?

Mr.. P0fler Declines

Mr.. Clarkson Potter, who has served ably
and successfully during several terms in
Congress-, declines denomination. His
party must regret this refusal to serve it,
Tor it has not too many men of brains and
sound judgment in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Potter gives a good many
reasons tor rejecting the offer Of his con-
letter leads us to couclude that the chief
reason is disgust with the condition of
political affairs. We cannot blame
him tor being disgusted, but we suspect
many of his friends will think it mistake
in him to abandon the political field just at
the time when the labors of oil good and
sensible men are most needed there. lie
writes that he finds himself unable to
agree with his party on some important
points but the fact is that neither his party
nor the other agrees with itself on any i'm
portant point. AT the last session Of Con-
cast on any question that we now
recall, except on the motion to constitute
that unfortunate committee Of which Mr..
Potter became chairman party politics
are so utterly muddled that neither party
was able to determine on any point of
public policy in caucus. Such a time
seems propitious for men Of brains to exer-
else their influence in giving shape to new
party policies and we should have thought
that the political field would be especially
interesting at such time to Mr.. Potter.

Dividing the Circus.

What a contrast 10 the circus business
between this year aud last! Then Hayes
and his Cabinet travelled together, and
we're the greatest show on earth Now,
as if alarmed or disguised, each by the
other, and all with Hayes they struggle
about the country as far apart as possible.
While Hayes was boldly assuring the peo-
pie of Toledo that Michigan. Indiana, and
Ohio are all parts. and important parts,
of the old Northwestern Territory, Wheel
er, whose soul is above barney. was tell
ing the Canton farmers that no spot 10 this
wide world so free FROM the notions now
rocking society as st. Lawrence County.
While Lawyer Evarts hides himself 10 the
reeeses of Vermont. Erring Brother Key
shoots as far as possible 10 the opposite
direction, bringing up on the shores of the
Pacific. Thus this season the beautiful
spectacle Of Hayes and his Cabinet breth-
rem assembled in harmony on one platform
is no longer seen; each is running a circus
of his own
