Common Fame.

It may be all very we'll for mer to use the
term common fame" regarding statements
about any ordinary men and affairs, but
we give the Brooklyn Presbytery due
warning that the public will not
submit to any such expression being
used regarding the work and ways of
Its own Talmage Reports concerning him
are not common-they are invariably un-
common-and we protest on the part Of the
public, which for the past few years would
have been indeed lonesome without him,
against the Tabernacles pastor being be-
Titled by the pulpit jealousy which hides
behind a seemingly formal phrase.
Have not Talmage's sermons been
printed q thousand times oftener than
those Of any Of his accusers? Is he not
the principal attraction of Brooklyn? Has
he not gone through the various evil re-
sorts of New York and emerged without
having lost his pocketbook or his .charac-
ter? Does any other preacher, or any
dozen OF preachers, attract SO much atten-
ton from that stronghold of Belial, the
newspaper press? Let the members of the
Presbytery investigate, if they are tired of
preaching and want q rest from the practice
OF brotherly kindness, but let them give us
none of that sanctifed malevolence that is
SO thinly veiled by the expression common
fame"

Is 1t Worth Having /.

The politicians are anxiously awaiting
the decision Of Judge Barrett in the Tam
many injunction case, because many Of
them believe that the question Of the future
control of the Tammany Society hinges
upon the success or failure of the attempt
OF the anti-Tammany people to keep out
the one hundred and fifty new members
whom the present sachems are endeavoring
to get in. The friends of the existing Or
ganization, it is true, laugh at the assertion
that without these new members they are
in minority in the society and must be
beaten in the next election of sachems;
but if their opponents did not en-
tertain q different belief it is not
likely that they would have gone to the
trouble and expense of the pending legal
proceedings. After ALL is the society worth
having? Will it not prove white elephant
on the hands Of the gentlemen who are so
anxious to secure its control? The prop
worth one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, although it is doubtful if it would fetch
that sum at o forced sale 1t is mortgaged for
two hundred and twenty-five thousand dol
lars. The society's seven per cent bonds
fetch only thirty-four cents on the dollar.
It's legitimate yearly receipts from all
sources are about six thousand dollars less
than it's ordinary expenses, and yet it col
lects twenty-five dollars as an initiation fee
from new members, when the constitution
fixes the fee at three dollars. There must
be some peculiar attraction about Tammany
Hall to render any person desirous CT TAX
ing the responsibility of running such an
impecunious society.

Let the Mayor Keep Il Up.

In his objection to sign certain pay war;
rants before the expiration OF the time tor
which the pay is to be held as due Mayor
Cooper exhibits wish to introduce into
the discharge of official duties the principle
that his signature shall never be appended
to any paper as mere formality, but that
whenever his signature is found on any
document its presence there shall be an
evidence that he has taken effective action
on that case /; that he has audited that nc
count that he has gone over the ground
and is satisfied mentally and morally that
the service has been performed, that the
pay is due or that the law requires him to
certify that it is due. His act in that light
is praiseworthy, and if he goes on in the
application OF the principle by which he
seems to be guided he will justify all that
was hoped Of his administration tor the
course thus taken may give him an i'm
portant control over much that would
be otherwise without control. Unfor-
tunately the law appears to require his
signature to be given in many cases where
he has not right to know previously just
what is to be dono with the money. Were
it otherwise he might efficaciously act upon
the whole city government, and the public
would be able to hold him fairly response
ble. But rs it is there is u great part OF the
administration that the Mayor can supervise
by this simple refusal OF his signature. We
hope, therefore, that he intends to apply this
plan where it may correct abuses, as well as
where it will merely change little routine

The Barron Case.

Some days ago We expressed our doubts
of the fresh theory in regard to the death of
Barron, the cashier of the Dexter Savings
Bank, in Maine, on the mere probabilities
of the case as exhibited in the statement of
that theory. Eight months subsequent 10
the death of n cashier it is discovered that
his accounts exhibit q defslcation and as
there is mystery about his death it is as
sumed Immediately that he had committed
suicide to hide that defalcation, and the
assumption is sustained by the statement
that an expert has actually succeeded in
putting lock on the inside of door in
such q way as to close the door with the
bolts of the lock shot. In the way Of that
theory the difficulties are obvious. 1t
needs first to be individually shown that
those books have not been tampered with
since the mans death and the presump-
ton is that they have been, because the
deialcations are not exhibited in the rcgu-
lar course of the figures as originally
entered, but entries ore inserted between
others to account for the absence of funds
not on hand. So clumsy device would
have been discovered Immediately, and the
fact that this discovery was not made Mt the
time OF the death gives ground for the pre-
sumption that the books have been manipu-
lated since. Again, q detective could lock
himself in, no doubt, with his hands free,
but could he do it with handouts And il
he handcuffed himself afterward how could
he put tho key in another roomP Insur-
ance companies, whose agents have sharp
eyes, did not doubt at the time that this
was case of murder, and the public will not,
with all the facts before it. But who has tam
pered with those accounts, and whose good
name is to be saved at the expense Of this

Roumania's Belligcrent Move.

On the supposition that the questions re-
garding the partition of the territory north
of the Balkans among the allied conquerors
of the Turk were about to be definitely and
peaceably settled public attention has been
drawn away from the recent seat of war and
directed toward the British Indian frontier
But the clements of disturbance which have
for centuries made the Balkan peninsula n
vast battlefield are by no means removed
by the results of the late war, and are
now threatening to cause rupture
between two of the allies over division OF
the spoils The Danube, which forms the
natural southern and western boundaries
of Roumania, became, by virtue Of the
Treaty Of Berlin, only II part OF the southern
limit of the principality. The annexation
of the Dobrudscha gave Roumania very
respectable slice of territory along the
Black Sea from the mouth of the Danube to
Mangala on the coast, and as far westward
as line drawn from point few miles
east of Silistria on the Danube to Mangala.
The famous fortress which 6etiod the efforts
of the Russians to capture it in 1853 there
fore became Bulgarian town, much to the
disappointment OF Roumania.
Our dispatches from London this morn
ing announce that the Roumanians have
forci bly, occupied the Arab Tabia. or chief
tort of Silistria, compelling the Russian
garrison to withdraw, and have refused to re-
tire on the receipt of simultaneous demands
from st. Petersburg and the Russian Gen
eral-in-Chief. Todleben. The consequences
of this bold defiance of Russia and viola
ton of the stipulations of the Treaty Of Berlin
by our despatch, Austria is willing to sus-
tain Roumania's action. 1t is certain
that the government OF Bucharest would
not dare to thwart Russia in this fash
ion if it was not assured of help
from some one Of Russia's open or secret
enemies, and as Austria has not willingly
accepted the results of the war or the Berlin
Treaty it is probable that she is behind the
Roumanian movement. The only other ex-
PLANTATION that can be offered Of this remark
able political incident is that it may have
been brought about by Russia, in order to
furnish her with pretext for a prolonged
occupation of Bulgaria and Roumelia, and
until she has exacted all her demands from
Turkey England will naturally view with
satisfaction any complication in the Danube
Valley calculated to tie Russia's hands, but
as she has not won fame recently for disin-
terestedness people will be asking what
island she desires to ''grab" next.

Captain Herensleen's Letter About
Nordens kjold.

Nordens kjold.
We republish this morning from the col
umns of the Eccning Post very interesting
letter from Captain E. p. Herendeen, of
San Francisco, on the prospects of q release
of the Swedish Arctic steamer Vega, which
is beset by the ice off the northeastern
Siberian coast. We are glad to see that the
writer shares with the HERALD the belief
that Professor Nordenskj0ld and his COM
panions are not in such serious danger as
their friends in Europe imagine, and
that the prospects of speedy re-
lief of the party are very promising.
While we are satisfied that the Vega is in
considerable peril it does not at all follow
that her party will be sacrificed, because its
members can at least reach land without
difficulty and with fair prospect of meet
ing the relief expeditions despatched to
their assistance. The case of the ship Citi-
zen, of New Bedford, cited by Captain
Herendeen, ought to reassure the friends Of
Nordenskj0ld, who, having but meagre
news of his whereabouts, conjure up all
kinds of disasters for the expedition. How
ever. .'to make assurance doubly sure" no
delay should occur in sending the impris-
oned explorers all necessary assistance,
because their greatest danger lies in
the exhaustion of their supplies. In
terest in the progress Of the brave
and learned Swede and his companions
has grown into intense anxiety regarding
them because the history of the Arctic ex-
ploration furnishes too many instances of
disaster. Armchair explorers may pooh
pooh the dangers to which the voyagers
in the Arctic Ocean are exposed, but their
true and practical friends will always be
anxious for their safety, and even err, if
that is possible, on the side of Jealous en-
deavor to render them timely and efficient
assistance
