Does HIS Explanations Esplasne

. = ra
The st. Paul GLOBE is decidedly outspoken
IN its denunciation of Mr.. Sherman for hin
extensions of favors to the New York syndi-
cate. It says that the transaction is "a crime
of the first magnituie''-the "breach of a
most sacred trust, . that "admits of no palli-
ation," and should subject the secretary to
impeachment. In the absence of any ex-
PLANTATION from Mr.. Sherman, We are not
disposed to PREJUDICE the case, but the gen.
eral opinion of those best acquainted with
the circumstances of the last subscription
mad. by the syndicate to the four per cent.
loan is that it involves gross business irreg-
ularity, and that the sooner the secretary
comes to the front with vindicatory state
ment the better for himself. His abandon
ment Of the Ohio canvass just at the time
these unpleasant disclosures are made con.
veys the idea that they are in the nature of
issues which he would have difficulty inysuc-
cessfully meeting on the stump.

TILDEN AND FIELD.

The attempt of Mr.. Cyrus w. Field to
cast odium on Mr.. Samuel ]. Tilden on &C.
count of some business transactions, and
the attempts of some newspapers to give a
political turn to the matter are equally con.
temptible. The gist of the whole affair NAV
be briefly summarized. 1t appears that when
the elevated railway was being constructed
in New York there was little faith among
capitalists IN it's success. Even Mr., Field
acknowledges that he was fearful of the re-
suit, and as he was heavily burdened with
the stock Of the company, and would be
ruined If the enterprise proved failure, he
endeavored to unload. He made several nm.
successful attempts, but finally induced Mr..
Iilden to take q portion of the burden off
his shoulders at the rate of fourteen cants
ON the dollar. The road was completed and
proved q success, and the stock rose in the
market unprecedentedly fast, and was
soon at premium. Mr. Tilden
seeing the chance to realize upon his invest.
ment, sold his stock when the market wos
highest, and proAted, according to Mr..
Field and other authorities, to the extent Of
q round million of dollars. Mr.. Field han
pened to be in Europe at the time. and
when he returned was greatly incensed at
Mr.. Tilden's conduct. =.
To the majority Of men, who recognize
the right of . man to do what he will With
his own property, this complaining on the
part of Mr.. Field will appear childish. Ia
does not claim that Mr.. Tilden was nnder
any obligation, legal or moral, to hold his
stock twenty.four hours longer than he
chose. Any good business man would have
seized tho opportunity which Mr.. Tilden did
to sell his stock at large advance upon the
price paid. It was simply business trans.
action, for which the gentleman nanoad "a
deserving Of neither praise nor blame. Il ia
probable that Mr.. Field desired Mr.. Tilden
to retain his interest in the road on soconnt
OF the increased value his name a. largo
stookholder would give to the securities ~
the company, but if Mr.. Tilden did not wish to
remain, Mr.. Field had no right to compel
MN to do 80, nor yet has he the RIGHT n
abuse him because Of his discrimination =,
step down and out of the concern when hs
could do 60 at good profit.
The attempt Of few Republican news
papers who fear Mr.. Tilden and are anyious
to kill him of as Presidential candidate to
give the affair = political bent is laughable.

In 1869 there disappeared from the city of
London boy of 4 years, named Harry Gil.
bert Stratton. Since that time until yester-
only sister have been unknown, although
for the last nine years persistent search has
been made for the children, both in Europe
and America, the British consul general at
New York having been deeply interested in
the case. It should be stated that the chill.
dren fell heirs, nine years ago, by the death
of their parents, to considerable property
in London. Harry was found in the tramps'
lodging house in this city yesterday, and told
reporter his story. which is that he was
kidnapped by one D'Atalie, a noted circus
performer, who died q short time since. He
was brought by D'Atalie to this country, and,
although but 5 years old, subjected to q
fendish system of training for the profess
sion of contortlonist. The inhuman trainer
began by bending his tender back over his
(the trainer's) knees to make it supple, and
interrupted his experiments only to fog the
poor child for not yielding readily enough.
Among other courses to which Harry was
subjected to was being hoisted high in the
air by bis teeth, and whirled around at the
end of strap. He naturally became pro-
ficient, and travelled several seasons with
Barnum and other circus proprietors. He
will doubtless be remembered by many as
the boy who used to stand on q cannon held
by q woman The woman was D'Atalie's
wife, and is now married to man named
Austin. One day Harry made break and
secured his freedom, sin,e which time he
has been on the tramp in the Middle and
Eastern States. He is a very bright lad, and
is overjoyed at finding that some one has an
interest in him. He states that his sister
lived, at last advices, at Upper Kensington,
London. To-day he was given in charge of
the British consul general, and will at once
be sent to England to claim his new-found
position among civilized beings.
