and unprincipled persons az all times, and
IN this country there has been SO much
corrupt and corrupting talk of the kind
that several communities, not only munich
cipal corporations but entire States, have
been seduced into the infamy of repudia-
ton. From the close Of the rebellion to
the present time there has been an element
which has always sought to cheat and
swir.dle the public creditors. 1t is this
knavish element which invented the
phrase :" bloated bondholders :" which has
always spoken of public creditors in
terms OF hatred and obloquy which
has been foremost in every pro-
ject of partial or total Reputation
which has advocated fat money,
and buzzard dollars, and has
on every occasion shown malign inge-
nuity in devising financial rascalities, and
in sugar-coating them with specious soph-
istries. Now there is but one way for
honest and self-respecting men to deal
with this class OF advisers, and that is to
repulse them with contempt. Whoever
contracts to pay debt is in honor bound
to pay it to the last cent, and this even to
his own loss. The creditor has precisely
the same status in ethics as the debtor
He is not to be abused or charged with
"greed CT "rapacity because he de-
mands his dues. To call man names
when he demands a faithful performance
of SOLEMN contract is equally dishonest
and absurd. If there are any epithets JUS
titled in such circumstances they should be
applied to those who are trying to dodge
and shirk their obligations. There is no
doubt about the nature of such operations.
They are dishonest. But it is not dishon-
est, OF unreasonable, or unjust, or greedy,
to require the payment of debts which are
due, and no honorable man would ever think
OF abusing creditors forasserting theirrights.
And there is no path but one for honest
men to pursue in this connection. There
is no middle course. Double-dealing,
equivocation, evasion, no matter how GOV.
cred up, are shameful and disgraceful
Contracts must be lived up to, or the indi
viduals or the communities that break them
will lose their characters, and will be
Justly discredited in the face of the world
Nor does dishonesty in these matters evel
pay in the long run. No city has evel
swindled its creditors without suffering fol-
the wrong it had committed, and suffering
material losses exceeding hundred folG
the amount of the debt thus evaded
There are no duties more incumbent upor
a community than the duty of dischargine
its obligations. No child, no wife, can evel
owe thanks to the father or husband wht
cheats his creditors under pretense of pro
viding for them. To do that is to faster
disgrace upon innocent people; not TO pro
tect them. 1t is time that all the fustiar
and humbug which has been talked about
the innocence of corporate rascality was ex
ploded. 1t is rank dishonesty from first tt
last, and no amount of verbal shutting car
put cleaner face upon it.

BENNETT AND ARCTIC RESEARCH.

1t is said that James Gordon Bennett is
thinking of fitting out another Arctic
expedition, and of accompanying it himself.
We have no doubt that such an enterprise
would do him good, and if he never re-
turned his admiring countrymen would
read the full account of his catastrophe in
the Herald. Seriously, however, there is
no reason why Mr.. Bennett should not
crafty his Arctic longings. He is doing
nothing which would not just as well be
left undone He has large income from
his journal, which he has thus far spent to
comparatively little purpose. He has
plenty of energy and dash, and he might
earn for himself some enduring reputation
by accompanying his own expedition to
the frozen North. On the whole we like
his idea, and think that ne can hardly
improve upon it.

aRorArIoN IN oYFTcE i"

A Washington dispatch yesterday stated
that new incumbent had been appointed
to a certain Office on this coast, because the
present holder had been in Office eight
years, and it was e time to apply the prin-
ciple of rotation in Office Upon this we
observe that rotation in Office is not q
principle, but an abuse. Principles must
be founded in reason. Rotation in office is
essentially irrational. a man has been IN
office five, six, seven or eight years. The
presumption is that by that time he has
learned his duties thoroughly. and that he
is performing them as satisfactorily as pos
sible The length of his term, therefore, is
not reason for his removal, but it is a
strong and in fact conclusive reason for his
continuance in office. Rotation in Office
ignores every consideration of fitaess, of
regard for the economical and efficient
transaction of the public business, of every
thing, in short, which ought to be taken
into account. 1t is through rotation in
office that the abuses of the civil service
have been so increased. It is through
that practice that national taxation
has been made and kept SO high.
1t is through that practice that
the country is now employing prob
ably twenty thousand more office
holders than there is any real need for.
When. therefore. we find rotation in office
introduced at the very outset of President
Garfield's administration. what are we to
think Of his sincerity? It IS time the
people resented the cool presentation of
the imbecile excuse for the removal of
competent officials. that they have been
so long in office This is equivalent to
saying that they are removed because of
their peculiar competence As fact they
are removed because our politicians DO not
care cent how badly the public work is
done. so long as they are enabled to traffic
and bargain themselves into place and
power by giving away appointments right
and left. The people are snubbed and
cheated to their faces by these same poll
ticians, and then they are expected to
come forward meekly and dutifully and
vote the programme which their log-rolling
masters have arranged TO suit their own
selfish interests.

ALMOST A BURLEsoUE.

The clumsy attempt to blow up the
Lord Mayor of London by placing box
containing forty pounds of powder against
the outer wall ST the Mansion House, looks
almost like anintentional burlesqueupon the
recent Russian tragedy. The presumption
is that the London attempt was made in
the supposed interest of the Fenians or
the Land League, though what earthly
end could be served by exploding Lord
Mayor it is difficult to imagine 1t would
indeed be almost impossible to have select
ed public functionary who could be more
easily spared. There was time when
Lord Mayors were important personages,
but that time has long gone by, and at
present they are merely magistrates hedged
about with more than ordinary ceremony
and .tinsel. To blow up Lord Mayor,
therefore, would be as meaningless and use
less crime as could be conceived.

PRINCE MErrERNIcE.

The glimpses Of his private life scattered
through his letters are less numerous than
could be wished. He had written over his
small villa near Vienna the legend :" Parva
domus magma quies," but thought the
latter half of the sentence somewhat false.
He describes his library, with almost boy
ish delight, as a splendid room, eighteen
feet high, filled up to the ceiling with
books, and containing nearly 1900 vol
umes. In the middle of the room is Ca
nova's beautiful Venus" The room was
full of works of art, and he was often
amused at the distraction of strangers who
had "to make out their visits amid such
varied collection OF things" g In this
treasury" he says, 81 pass seven-eighths
of my time. | live unwillingly in
small rooms, and unwillingly work in
them. In a contracted space the mind
contracts, the thoughts hide themselves,
and even the heart grows withered." His
children were taken to him by their mother
when they were good, but he thought they
came SO gladly not from love to him, but
because it was just like market to them,
'' for my rooms are very similar to shops
There is much pathos in his love for
Clementine, who gradually fades away,
Wnlle LD6 IaIueT, as ne says, goes from
the reyolutionists and demagogues who
people my study, to find care and sorrow
in the sick room" Perhaps one of the
best illustrations of his prompt and vigor-
Gus character is in story he tells in a let
ter in 1922, to show that he was not acces-
sible to fear. One day a man got in at
his bedroom window and stood by the
bed may have been thief or muir
derer, and he thought Metternich was
asleep, but he was awake and observant
81 allowed him." says Metternich, Z" to
come nearer without moving, but loosened
my sheets so that nothing might be in
my way. One jump, and I stood up,
seized him, threw him out of the window,
and lay down again. He or /, was my
thought. That is logic in business as with
robbers" He was not fond of England.
His references to Queen Caroline's trial
are of the most scornful character This
Queen is really horrible woman. If
people knew what know about her, they
would be surprised at her audacity." Her
reception did not astonish him. "a virtu-
Gus Queen, worthy of the crown, would in
all probability be despatched with mud by
the people" Writing about England some
what later. he says "What vexes me
with the English is that they are all slight
ly mad this is az evil which must be pa
tiently endured, without noticing to much
the ludicrous side of it..

An Attempt 10 Blow Up the Lord Mayor
of London.


LONDON, March 17th.-At midnight po-
liceman on duty at the Mansion House ob-
served fire on the ground near the wall of
the Lord Mayors official residence, and found
a wooden box with fuse connected, to which
some lighted paper had been recently applied.
The officer extinguished the fire aud took the
box to the police station, when it was found
TO contain about forty pounds Of gunpowder,
with fuse in the midst of it. No arrests
have been made and there is no clue to the
perpetrators.
The Lord Mayor says the explosion would
probably not have injured the Mansion
House. but would have damaged the
Egyptian Hall and adjacent private houses,
and entailed serious loss of life. He himself,
he said, was not at home at the time. One
account says an Irish newspaper was found
amongst the packings of the powder.
Defending the Ladies.
LONDON, March 17th.-A. NJ. Sullivan

exemplary devotees of the church.

In the House of Lords the arms bill passed
