A Sad Case.

The arrest on criminal charges Of thir-
teen officers and trustees of the Teutona
Savings Bank is very sad affair. The men
who are alleged to have been tempted to
dishonesty in this case are not reckless adj
venturers or fashionable swindlers, but
quiet, business citizens, with moderate
wants and apparently sufficient means.
They are all, or nearly all, Germans-a
people not often involved in such offences
enjoying good regulations in the neighbor-
hoods in which they lived, and generally
looked upon as well-to-do, trustworthy
men. They are accused Of malpractices SO
easy of detection, SO susceptible of proof
and yielding such paltry gain that their
guilt would be incredible but for the posi-
tiveness Of the accusations and their SEEM
ing corroboration by the transactions of the
bankrupt institution.
OF course the accused are not to be pre-
Judged. They are entitled to fair trial,
and the whole community will be well
pleased If they should prove their inno-
cence. But if guilty the law SO plainly
reaches their offence that their escape from
punishment will be impossible, and the
penalty should be rigidly enforced. Tho
fact that such men could be tempted into
dishonesty in the discharge of q trust is
sufficient to show the necessity of severe
example. The accused evidently feel their
disgrace bitterly. One of their number has
attempted suicide, and another is pros
trated by an illness that will probably prove
fatal. But il their previous good characters

The SERMONS YESTERDAY were mainly plain,
practical discourses upon Christian life and
duty. Even Mr.. Talmage was calm and sub
dued He inculcated the necessity of the for
nation of good habits, aud pointed ont the
difference between conversion and sanctifca-
ton. The Rev. Mr.. Love explained the prn-
.iple of faith; DR.. King condemned monasti-
.ism; DIR. Taylor enlarged upon the mysteries
of eternal life; DIR. Tying denounced the re-
lgous tramps in the vineyard, and the Rev.
Mr.. Lloyd eulogized the beauties of the Scrip
lures. Virtue and its Attributes was the

to get their bonds and stock admitted to the
Stock Exchange. Does that mean an at
tempt to "unload" on the public? We
warn investors to look before they buy, and
to require of the managers clear, satisfac-
tory and public explanation of their pro-
ceedings. This matter will be brought be-
fore the Legislature next winter. 1t will
there be probed to the bottom. The people
of New York will demand to know whether
the company has not violated its extremely
liberal charter and whether the citizens
have no rights which can be protected and,
pending such an inquiry as must be made,
it is only fair to warn prudent investors
against putting money rashly into ''se-
curity" which may become the subject OF
legislative proceedings.
The people of New York need rapid
transit. but they cannot afford to sit down
quietly and see their very necessities made
the means of their spoliation. The Metro
politan managers, if they are prudent men,
will hasten to complete their whole line
before the Legislature meets and they may
as well make up their minds that five cents
is as high a fare as the public will pay, un-
less they can show that this does not yield
enough revenue to pay a fair dividend on
the legitimate cost of the road.

Muddled City Politicia ms.

We have sent reporters to interview per-
sons conversant with city politics. but the
politicians have no better idea of the latitude
and longitude than the crew of vessel sail
ing through a fog bank. All that we learn
is that the politicians think everything de-
pends on the nod of Mr.. John Kelly 1t
is not creditable to the sense, courage or
sagacity of SO many politicians that they
confess their abject dependence on one
man for their opinions. 1t has been
demonstrated again and again that Mr.
Kelly is powerless whenever he is
boldly opposed. His attempt to de-
pose Recorder Hackett resulted in a
signal humiliation, and there have been
other demonstrations of his weakness which
he will not soon forget. There seems q
prevalent impression that Hon. Augustus
Schell is Mr.. Kellys candidate for Mayor,
but no such preference has been indicated
by Mr.. Kelly himself, and we cannot think
he entertains it. Mr.. Kelly has found on
two conspicuous occasions that the respect
able Mr.. Schell is not q winning card in
city politics. Although he was Mr.. Kelly s
avowed choice for the Msyoralty two years
ago he was forced to give him up and last
year when he pitted him against John Nor
rissey for the State Senate he learned that
Mr.. Schell is an easy candidate to beat.
We do not believe that Mr.. Kelly will ven.
ture on third experiment with the same
worthy gentleman.

IT WILL BE SEEN from the article elsewhere
printed that however depressed other branches
of business may he the courts at least cannot
complain of hard times. glance ut the calen
dars of the different judicial establishments
shows, in fact, most encouraging condition of
rffairs for the lawyers if not for their clients.
In the United States District and Circuit Courts
District Attorney Woodford and his assistants
have a roll call of over fiity-three hundred
cases. many of them of very great public impor-
tancc. In the Superior Court there arc between
eight and nine hundred cases OIL the calendar Mt
present but this is only partial list, and the
number will be largely increased next month.
The Common Pleas has nearly eighteen hun
dred causes for trial, and the Marine Court four
hundred on its general calendar Soldiers
statesmen, politicians, great merchants, distin-
guished actors and expert fnanciers, all figure
in the coming legal campaign We hope they
will all win their suits and be happy.

The Improvement in the Dry Goods
Trade.

The Improvement in the Dry Goods
Trade.
Our report of yesterday upon the facts
and feeling in the dry goods trade is full of
good omens In spite of the temporary
cessation of orders from certain Southern
points dealers report trade more brisk than
ever before at this season of the year. The
surplus stock which embarrassed the market
for several years after the panic has been con-
sume6, and manufacturers are guarding
carefully against over production. There
is but little disposition to crowd goods upon
the market. Mere speculation is infrequent,
for the uncertainties upon which it depends
do not exist Prices are SO low that buyers
can lay in stock without fear that decline
will vitiate its value. The foreign demand
for our cotton goods, which ten years ago
was scarcely dreamed of, increases steadily,
the exports of last year exceeding those Of
the previous year by nearly one-half, the
increase being caused by the superiority
of American goods to those Of England,
which until lately monopolIzed the
eApOIC6 VI pIluto. AL tAiS 10 uOt
only very cheering to the dry goods trade,
but to the general run of business, for an in
terest as enormous and far-reaching as that
Of dry goods calls for an immense amount
of labor and compels a steady movement OF
money. The only apprehensions felt in the
trade are caused by that peculiar class Of
dealers which imagines that business con-
sists principally in underselling, even if it
is done ut loss; these compel the failure
of large majority of the houses who are
honest and sensible, and Of themselves
likewise; but as greater care is observed
than Of old in the matter of granting credit
it is to be hoped that this danger will be
lessened to a considerable degree. Aside
from the qualification which the outlook
affords to the trade in question and to busi-
ness in general the small but noisy army
OF croakers about the diminution Of New
York's great business interests will find in
this report some powerful hints upon the
advisability Of silence.

THE RECENT DECISION of Secretary Schurz
in regard to railroad lands has, it seems, been
misinterprcted by settlers. Several roads, such
as the Illinois Central, have received land
grants from the different States. The decision

cover are those held by the Union,il Central,

The stepping Stone 90 Health.

The acquisition of vital energy is the step,
ping stone to health. When the system lacks
vitality, the various organs flag in their duty,
become chronically irregular, and disease is
eventually instituted. To prevent this un-
happy state Of things the debilitated system
should be built up by the use of that inmita-
BILE tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
inyigorates the digestive organs, and insures
the thorough conversion Of food into blood OF
nourishing quality, from whence every mus,
Gle, nerve and fiber acquire unwonted supplies
OF Vlgor, and the whole system experiences
the beneficial effect. Appetite returns the
system is refreshed by healthful slumber, the
nerves grow strong and calm, the dependency
begotten of chronic indigestion and an uncer.
tain state of health disappears, and that sal
low appearance of the skin peculiar to habitu.
al invalids, and persons deficient in vital ener
gy, is replaced by more becoming tinge.
