Chris Licdl mt Lust Passes Away to the
GEent Unknown.
After long and severe illness Chris Liedl
died last night at 10 o'clock at his rooms on
Main street, between Eleventh and Twelfth.
The circumstances surrounding this death
make II q peculiarly sad one. On the 1lth
dsy OF Msron lsst his wife died after al illness
that f1r months had caused her agouizlns
pain. Daring all that long illness her hue-
band waited on her and supplied her every
wan as far as he wna able. with O lander de.
yotiou tina! was touching. At tho same time
he kept up bis work on the V0'ksblatt, OF
which he YVES city editor. For days hs went
without sleep, giving what time he was not
engaged on the paper to his wife and children.
| He never went home Tor ssyeral weeks before
| her death but that be expected to find her
gone. When st lart she did psss gway the
terrible strain that both his mind aud body
had been under for 80 long gave way and
his friends realiz,d that he WEB q complete
wreck. II III =
He took short vacation but coon return
ed to work for his children. He wss unable
fcr the tauk however, and on the 26:h OF
March took 10 bin bad. The ordeal be he'd
been Though had well nigh killed him, and
in addition 3r;ghps dlseaso developed itesH
Since that time be has fingered on fighting
against tho inevitsble IN 3 wonderful
manner. He managed to get on. o few times
and was always aayins to himself that be
vas getting bettar, mill within the past two
weeks lie real!z.d that 1t wes no use and that
hts end was near Of hand, snd' made al the
arrangements tina. he could for his chlldrau.
The news OF hia death, while not une1psct-
ed, will be heard with BORROW by bis many
frients. Every one appeared TO know Chris.
He was always laughing and jolly, and was
generally liked. As s Newspaper mag he wea
indeia!ieable; hs was liked by all In the pro-
fession and his face will be missed. Ho was
city editor Of the yoEksblatt from the time It
was started. 1t has been said that he had
many friends; there waa ono IN particular,
well-known, wealthy, philanthropio Ger
man business man, who pince his wife's IL
ness hiss been nunjfcaut In his kindness. He
allowed Ledl 10 want for no luxury that hs
desired. To him much credit Is due.

md was therefore In his Sch year. He came
to this country in 1866 and ssttled in Phila-
delphia. For the psst sixteen yenrs he has

The Crisis.

What is 10 be the end of the developments
of the last few days in the New York fnan-
cial world, cannot be predicted with certain
ty; but it looks as if there was to be another
period of liquidation and REIMBURSEMENT.
How general 1t will be, or how long contin-
ued Is matter of speculation about which
we shall now hazard no opinion. Thus far
the blow has fallen upon the dealers in secu-
rites and credits; but 1t must be remem-
bered that in the present conditions of BUSH
ness, shares and credits are at the founda-
ton of all financial transactions, and that
the business of banks and brokers is so in
terwoven with all other business, as to con-
troll and determine it in degree greater
than even before.
1t Is well to remember that after the Jay
Cooke failure it was argued for long
time that the disaster would affect only
certain kinds of business and certain classes
of business men whose enterprises were of a
speculative order, that legitimate business,
so-called, had no occasion to take alarm.
But 1t appeared that there is solidarity to
all the business of the country which would
nos allow any part of it to wholly escape the
evil effects of reverses in another part. The
effect of the crash in the financial centre per-
meated the whole land, and every enter
prise, every investment, every industry felt
the shock in due time and was to greater
or less extent Frustrated.
While panic exists in Wall street there is
no reason why it should extend here. The
watchwords of every business man at this
time should be caution, economy, hope.
Economy and caution in preparation for the
worst, aud watchful hope that does not
yield to false alarms and gives courage to
seize upon every adv antage of the situation.
For long time there has been in progress a
general and almost uninterrupted shrinkage
of values in nearly every kind of property,
and the time has come when fortunes have to
be scaled down, and men who thought they
had much have to acknowledge that they
have little or nothing. The margin between
assets aud debts, which has been steadily
growing loss e.4a iess is TO be in many cases
completely extinguished and those who have
been carrying property for which they had
not paid may suddenly find that 1t is NOT
worth in the market what they have promis-
to pay for it. Happy at such time as the
present is he who can say ST owe no man
anything"

A new City Marshal was nominated by
the Mayor and promptly confirmed by the
Aldermen yesterday. Mr.. Joseph d. De-
Celle has had experience on the police force
in former years but is not in any way mixed
up with the recent condition OF the body.
He is manof integrity, ability and energy,
and may be expected to perform the duties
of the Office in a manner satisfactory to good
citizens. The circumstances under which
he comes to the Office impose an obligation
to fidelity and efficiency. The May
or and Aldermen have invited the citi-
zens to expect different and better
conduct of that office than has been witness
ed recently. They may be sure that the ex-
pertinent will be watched with critical atten-
ton. They will commit a blunder for which
they will deserve rebuke and condemnation
II they allow the police force, or any other
city force, TO be hereafter used as party
machine. They have now to justify to the
public the good faith for which we have Civ
On them credit In the proceeding against
Marshal Andrews.

The swindling operations of the firm Of
Grant & Ward seem by general consent to
be laid at the door OF Mr.. Ferdinand Ward.
Doubtless he was the business manager OF
the firm and the only one who took an &C.
tive part in the operations which have
brought widespread ruin. But it would
seem that all the active members of firm
ought to know whether the business the
firm is transacting is honest and legiti
mate OF dishonest and Legitimate. The
defence of the Grant boys is that they were
densely ignorant of the transactions of Their
partner. But such ignorance is under the
circumstances cupable.

The New York Circular

The circular of the committee of the Re.
publicans who participated in what is known
as the New York Conference last FEBRUARY is
published elsewhere. Certainly it is not an
aggressive or threatening document 10 its
style; but on the contrary is calm and digni-
fed, presenting certain considerations which
they deem important, and which are impor-
tsnt, to be considered in determining who
shall be the nominees of the Republican Ma
tlonal Convention. The matters which they
set forth are matters which must be taken
into account and it is not good practical pol
itics to ignore them or to scott at them.
They have singled out nobody for personal
condemnation; but they have specified GER
tain disqualifcations which they think would
make the chance of carrying New York very
doubtful if the Republicans should put in
nomination candidates, concerning whom
these disqualifcaticns could be alleged.
The plain motive of the gentlemen who
put forth this statement is to secure the
nomination of men who will command the
cordial support of all Republicans. They
insist on no particular person. Thee are
many such men any one of whom would
satisfy the not unreasonable conditions they
enumerate. We do not know how many
are represented by these opinions but we
think the number is larger than some are
disposed to admit. Perhaps 1t is not so large
as some are disposed to claim. They may
be mistaken in their individual judgments
of candidates, but they are men who are in
The habit of acting on their own judgment,
and good many of them are men who have
given as good proof as anybody has right to
ask for of their fidelity to their convictions
of duty.
The practical question Ia not whether they
are right or wrong in their judgment; but
whether 1t is necessary and desirable to Sc
cure their votes. iii is not necessary or
desirable, Of course 1t is incumbent on no.
body 10 surrender his preferences on their
account, and nobody will do it. We should
like to believe that the Republican party is
strong enough to elect any candidate. Per-
haps it is, and in that case the personal pref
erence of the majority is the only thing likely
to be considered and ascertained. But if any
body donbts the party's success with any
candidate, it is the part of wisdom to look at
the situation without passion or prejudice
aud to act in the way which seems most
likely to assure success. 1t is right and fair
for Republicans holding such views to give
them frank and timely expression, and we
do not doubt that they will receive from
other Republicans all the consideration they
merit.
