with the indignity she describes he Is q con-
temptible fellow, and she would be justified
In demanding that she should receive the
respect due her years and rs mother. Only
let her be sure that her cause for complaint
Is real. A woman who talks OF suicide at her
age is In very morbid condition.
Tho question OF the daughter is moro
easily answered. Very likely It would be
well for hsr to break away from her home
and earn her living elsewhere. Yet 1t Is q
sad and perilous thing for q woman ad-
vancing in years to go among strangers,
especially when her life has been restricted
to the duties OF her mothers house. II she
takes place as domestic not having higher
notions, even there she will bo subjected to
trials. and they may be harder to bear than
tho work which grinds her ut home.
An Intelligent woman Of experience in do
nestle duties. capable, Industrious, willing,
and cheerful, will not find 1t difficult to get

The Grand Jury and the Coupon Frauds.

Tho outcome OF the investigation into the
coupon frauds In the Comptroller's Office
falls far short Of the pretentious promises
with which 1t was begun by the July Grand
Jury In the Court OF General Sessions. There
has been good deal OF indefinite talk about
the summary and extraordinary powers OF
the Grand Jury In the matter; yet practically
that body has done nothing except to report
to the Court four conclusions, some of which
are not remarkable for originality or sense.
Lot US reviow the results which the Grand
Jury have reached. They declare:
"First-Thatf tho payments of tho city coupons had
been made by responsible bank trust company.
was formerly the practice loss could have occurred
to the CITY,"
This conveys tho idea that tho security
readily attainable by private corporation
In the payment Of money obligations Is 80
difficult Of attainment In the finance depart
ment OF great municipal government, that
the city ought to have recourse again to tho
agency of the banks and trust companies to
pay the interest on the public debt. We be-
lieve 1t Is just as easy for the Comptroller's
Office to pay the coupons without loss as 1t
would be for "any responsible bank Oh trust
company"
In tho next place tho Grand Jury say:
"secondThat IL the payments for the city had been
made by the City Chamberlain, as formerly, tho city
would have been protected from loss by the large bond
OF tho Chamberlain which tho Jury believe would apply
In cases like the CARROLL frauds"
This conclusion is purely speculative, and
involves legal opinion concerning tho
Chamberlain's bond. which would have moro
weight II 1t proceeded from the District
Attorney or Corporation Counsel than it has
coming from the Grand Jury, who are not
themselves judges OF tho law.
The third conclusion is moro direct and
positive. and comprises an express recon-
mendation:
"Third-This Grand Jury is of the opinion that INV
should be passed prohibiting any issue of tho citys
debtedness other than In regstcred form. and they
recommend the conversion of all outstanding coupon
bonds into registered stock"
In other words, the state of things in New
York is such that the greatest city on tho
American continent cannot safely issue cou-
pom bonds, although the national Govern
ment pays millions Of interest on this form
Of security without inconvenience! Surely
nobody but the members OF this Grand Jury
can believe that tho safe payment of the
coupons is a problem 30 difficult as to make
1t expedient to abandon tho coupon system
altogether.
But the final proposition Is one which tho
severest critic will notbe disposed TO dispute
"Pourth-From the testimony before this Grand Jury
they believe that the system and methods Of bookkeep
ing in the Comptrolers Office and should be so
changed as to mako repetition Of the late coupon
frauds an iinpossibility."
So say we all OF US.
