or course man who wrote in that way
was not one whom the Ring could afford to
have at the head Of tho bureau. The expen-
dltures for pensions now surpass enor-
mously the not expenditures OF any other
branch OF tho Government. Coupled with
this prodlgious outlay are unequallcd op-
portunities for fraud. Whether tho new
Commissioner will be impressed as vividly
as Mr.. BENTLEY with these facts, or whether
he will report to Gen. GARFIELD in tho usual
official way that the pension system is q
model Of efficiency and the chief glory OF
our age, remains to be seen.

with the fact that there Is absolutely nothing
In tho way OF inland defensive Notifications,
disposes Of the question Of resistance, In the
opinion Of all candid observers. 1t ls not
easy, therefore, to overrate tho significance
OF the admissions here quoted from Brit
ish naval officer Of high rank and large OK
perlcnco. In the case of war with France,
the fate of England says Lord DUNsANY,
will depend upon her having o superior force
in the right place at tho right moment.
And 1t is the main drift of his article
In tho Nineteenth Century to demonstrate
that these conditions could not be found on
the side of England, with her extended re-
sponsibilities Of defence, but would, In all
probability, be on the side OF an invader
choosing his own time and point OF attack.
1t follows from such declarations on tho
part of English naval authorities, that
Great Britain would be at the mercy OF o
league between Franco and Germany; and
who shall say, in view OF BIsMARcK's eager
ness to conciiate the French republic, that
such coalition may not be on the cards ?

Not Encouraging.

When President GARFIELD started out as
roformer, and began to make public under
the official sanction OF tho Administration
the truth respecting those frauds In the Post
Office Department which had before been
broadly indicated In tho columns OF the Ne,c
York Times and OF THE Sun; and when he de-
clared that such criminals should be pur-
sued and punished, we felt ourselves bound
to support him and cheer him on in this
new and unexpected manifestation.
But now that the same President has
yielded to the demands of thieves and plum
derers, and has got out an honest Com
missioner OF Pensions, who had saved vast
sums OF money to the Government and who
stood sternly as an obstacle to other enor-
nous schemes OF public robbery, what con-
fldenoe can the people have that Gen. GAR
FIELD will go forward sincerely with the
work OF reform, either In the Post Office De-
partment or anywhere else2
The power behind the Post Offlce robbers
Is immensely greater than that behind the
robbers OF the Pension Office, because
their means OF fraud are much moro widely
extended, and the spoils of their brigandage
are infinitely greater. Moreover, tho men
who have so long been engaged In this busi-
ness are among the most powerful and in
Auential, the most largely paying, members
OF the Republican organization.
How can We expect Gen. GARFIELD to
stand up against forces like these when we
see him succumb in the comparatively small
struggle that has been going on in the PEN
sion Bureau2
Decidedly the signs are not encouraging
for the cause OF honesty and reform.
The Post Office pltmderers can easily afford
10 pay half million of dollars, or eren mil
tion to be let OF. from any sort of prosecution
that means real justice!

Which Should BE Believed 2

Assemblyman BRADLEY and Senator SEs-
sIoSs iiatly contradict each other on the
main question OF bribery. There Is not
likely to be any other evidence directly on
this point. Nor has the cross-eyamination,
though conveying much information on the
history OF the two men and upon other ma
terial side questions, reflected any light i'm
mediately upon the main issue
Such conflict Of evidence between two
principal witnesses Is not, however, Of rare
occurrence 1t is frequently seen in the
courts Of law; and yet, as rule, twelve
men OF average common sense have no diff
Guilty in determining on which side the truth
lies.
One OF the questions that Is considered
under such circumstances is this: What are
the general antecedents OF the parties
Which is the more likely to be telling the
truth? Which is it easier to believe guilty
Of perjury
Applying that test to the present case,
we have the question Which is more prob
bic, that a member Of the Assembly would
deliberately fabrcate false accusation of
bribery against tho Senator from his dis
trict. with whom he had been on pleasant
to which his testimony would be exposed,
the searching examination that would bo
thrown upon his own record, the inevitable
cross-questioning by expert counsel, the
possibility OF exposure, criminal punish
ment, and general eXecration, and the GER
tainty of bitter attacks by partisan journals
and of lasting personal enmites; or that n
Senator expert in bribery as part of his
profession as lobbyist, should, alter hav-
ing actually committed the offence of at
tempted bribery, boldly and unblushingly
| deny tho fact2
There are numerous minor points in tho
testimony thus far taken which appear to
be regarded by Mr.. BRADLEY's friends as
bearing out the truth Of his accusation /;
but they hardly seem to require considora-
tion II the foregoing question is answered.

WindOm,s Reason.

Secretary WINDOW has thought best, in
spite OF the steady pressure brought to bear
against any thorough search, to dip a little
Into the affairs Of the Treasury. He has
merely scratched the surface, where the
contingent fund had been laid away, and
the odor that comes forth is enough to make
him close his nostrils and hastily cover the
place up.
The few disclosures made thus far have
been enough to bring several small
thieves to the Treasury doors to give
back what they had stolen, perhaps
In the hope that by quick restitution
they may avoid punishment. carpet
dealer, hardware, man, and q man who
should have furnished fileholders, have each
turned over to the Secretary between one
hundred and thousand dollars.
Is this a sort Of thing that Mr.. WINDOW
cannot bear to look at ? He stops and says
that 1t is private examination for himself,
and refuses to have the report mado public
There are only two ways Of accounting for
Mr.. WINDOWS unwillingness to publish the
results of this, his first attempt at investi-
cation. Either he thinks 1t best to wait for
further developments before making any
thing known; or else he sees after the
FIRST glance that to lay bare the dealings OF
the Treasury during the most corrupt ad-
ministrations would be beyond his strength,
and would inevitably sink his party and his
friends forever.
This last is probably the reason, and so Mr..
WINDOW will be content to rest on his finan-
cial laurels and the secrets OF the Treasury
will be kept until the Republicans are
driven out Of it.

Somebody has fixed upon to-day as the

Mother SHIPToN has been credited by some
persons with the authorship OF the prediction.
This Is an injustice to Mother SHIrToN That
astute prophecies said tho world to an end
would come In 1881 but she evidently had too
keen sense Of the uncertainty OF all sublunar
events to fix any precise date for the tragedy
Nevertheless the prediction. whoever its author

found believers. The prophecy has boen
thought worthy OF contradiction by men pos
sessing some claims to science and beneyolently
desirous to allay groundless fears. Even Mr.,

sying himself. has given his opinion that this
particular prophecy ia a blunder. and inetend
