The Washington swindler.

Lewis. the Washington broker who
ba--ed 500. 900 Of the earnings Of de-
partment employees, appears TO have been
more successful than Ward in getting
away with the spoils Of his swindIing
operations. Lewis PLAYED the same sort
Of confidence game that Ward played, but
on a much smaller scale. Wards opera
tions ran into millions and extended over
two or three years. Lewis did his work
skIlmllv in two or three months, and
then departed TO parts unknown, carrying
his cash with him. II is astonishing
how easily people are gulled by those
who hold out TO them the promise of MAX
ing money rapidly. Levis was unknown
in Washington. He could not have fur
nlshed letters of recommendation. If his
history Is correctly written up he has been
a swindler and forger for years. He
opened an office in Washington and ad-
vertised that he had exceptional facilities
for operating successfully in oil. He
promised immense profits and gave guar
antees against losses. A few put small
sums in his hands and were astonished at
the large returns their money brought
them in a short time. They whispered
their good fortune around. and
soon Lewis had his safe full Of
money. over GOO department people, be-
sides many army and navy officers
I ana capitalists. deposited money with him
R for investment. The department en-
I ployes gave him the money they had been
saving for their summer vacation. hoping
+ 10 make a little fortune. 1t is probable that
they viii spend their vacation in Wash
i ingtou. Lewis made no investments, and
7 he engaged in no speculative enterprises.
/ He did just as Ward did. He used the
/ principal to pay profits, only he did not
pay much out in the way Of profits. He
+ paid out only enough to bait the public.
+ After a while people will learn, perhaps,
+ that only swindlers offer to pay enormous
/ profits in order to get money. If any
+ body has a legitimate business or enter
prise that Will yield large returns, he
never experiences trouble in getting
all the money he wants from capitalists
I At reasonable rates of interest.

NKeed Ont the Crnoked Ones

The prosecution Of John c. Emo. late
President Of the Second National Bank Of
New York. and James D. Fish, late Presi-
dent Of the Marine Bank of that city,
should not be halfhearted. II these men
are guilty ofthe charges brought against
them taev ought 10 be shown no more
consideration than is shown a bank bur-
-ler or a common bank thief. In fact they
ought 10 be punished more severely than
: common criminal, because they We're
entrusted with the money with which
they are charged with appropriating to
their own use. Their flight justifes the con-
clusiOn that they are guilty, and there are
few people. perhaps. who are acquaint-
cd with the histories Of the broken
banks who have any doubt that the
odenses with which they are charged can
De easily proven. One of them was caught
yesterday, and it is hardly probable the
other can elude the officers long.
Mr.. Fish doubtless has saved
hundreds OF thousands Of dollars Of
his ill-gotten wealth and Mr.. Euo's father
is reported to be worth millions. With
plenty Of money to aid them it will be a
difficult matter to make them suffer the
penalty for their ofenses. The law against
ofenses such as they are charged with
having committed Is very severe. The
punishment is not less than five years in
the peniteEtiary. II is the duty Of the
honest men Of Wall street, and there are.
doubtless. some honest men there, to
frown down an attempts to arouse sym
pany with Emo and Fish. If they
are allowed to 90 free it will
not be surprising if embellishments and
defalcations among bank officials become
much more frequent. The excitement
growing out Of the acts Of Fish and Emo
had scarcely subsIded when the suspen-
sion Of the West Side Bank occurred.
The bald-head teller had run off with S97,-
900 Of the banks funds. Men like Ward,
Fish, Emo and Hinckley must be got rid Of,
and the way TO get rid Of them is to en-
force the law against them. To show
lenIency 70 the urongdoers is to encour-
age others to enter the paths Of crooked
moss

Bavar,l,s Chances.

Occasionally Mr.. Bayard is mentioned
in connection with the Democratic Presi-
Dental nomination. His name, however.
awakens very little enthusiasm. Nobody
questions his ability, integrity, fealty to
his party, OF his fitness. Indeed, nobody
doubts that he would make an admirable
candidate in every respect. The only OBJ
lection 10 him that is heard is that he is
citizen Of a State whose electoral vote
-oes not count for much. Is that ohjec-
ton entitled 10 much weight In 1880 the
Democratic candidate was taken from a
state that was not expected 10 give him
its electoral vote. If the argument that
a candidate ought 10 be taken from
doubtful state that has large electoral
vote is worth anything it had no weight
in 1850. Mr.. Bayard is certain 70 carry
his State, and that is more than ten.
Hancock was expected 10 do. Ever since
Mr.. Bayard has been spoken Of as Pres
iiential candidate il has been urged
AGAINST him that his state was
certain to go Democratic, who
ever might be nominated, and
therefore there was very little 10 be
gained bv nominating him. But isn't Mr..
BavarI a. strong in all Of the doubtful
States as any man that could be named.
The people do not care 50 much about the
place Of residence of a candidate rs they
30 about the candidate himself and the
principles he represents. 1t Is probable
that Mr. Bayard would get Just a. large a
vote in New York as Mr.. Tilden, Mr..
Flower. or Mr.. Cleveland. or as large rs
Mr. Mcdonald in Indiana. What the
people want Is a statesman and pure
man for candidate. In every state Mr..
Bayard i spoken Of in terms Of respect
and admiration. II he were the candidate

make an almost purely aggressive cam
paisn. There would be no time wasted in

Ward estimates the property conveyed
TO Warner by this assignment as worth
$560,000, and declares that the only con-
sideration he got for it was Warmers
surrender OF the fictitious contracts not
matured, showing an aggregate or pre-
tended Indebtedness TO Warner of S0lS,-
500. Ward says that among the property
conveyed was the Pierrepont street house,
which was the property of lis wife,
transferred 10 her several months before,
when he knew he was insolvent, and that
Ward gave no other consideration for the
house than the contracts.
George Z. Spencer, clerk TO the receiv-
er, makes affidavit Of an examination OF
the books of Grant & Ward. He hnds
that Warner had paid So, 030,9S5 to Grant
& Ward in checks, and received from
them 7,S66,5 04 81.
Referee Hamilton Cole filed yesterday
his report in favor of the claim of Elihu
Spieer, Jr., against Julian I. Davies, Jr.,
receiver OF the firm of Grant & Ward, for
twenty-slN second mortgage bonds OF
81, 200 each of the Gulf. Colorado, and
Santa Fe Railroad Company, which were
found in the office of Grant & Ward at the
time of the failure. Both Gen. Spicer and
Mr.. Ward said the bonds were merely
left for safe keeping and not a collateral.
smiling young cOlOred man, who Is
nowadays around the office of Grant IL
Ward, is known as the porter. 1t was
published Yesterday that he was Ferdi-
nand Wards private secretary, and in
dOrsed notes in the firms name, and pro-
badly knew more about the inside of the
business than any OF the partners ap-
peared to know. His name is Charles H.
Armstrong, and he lives at 1856 Grand
street, Jersey City.
i came into Mr.. Wards employ in
May, $780, said Armstrong last even
ing. "as a messenger. Fourteen months
later l was promoted to be his private
secretary. Strictly speaking, l was not
his private secretary, because the work
that l did was HOt that Of a confidential
man. was rather 4 private messenger.

sign as having received it. and the same
way II a bill was presented to the firm for
collection" Afterwards Armstrong
said he was not entirely familiar with
| business forms. He was previously a
porter on the Pullman palace cars. What
ever work Mr.. Ward gave him he con-
sidered it his dGty to do. He could not
distinguish notes, drafts and bonds apart
very readily, but he knew a check when
he saw one. He was certain that he had
not signed his name on anv checks.

An investigation Needed.

The announcement is made by the
Comptroller Of the Treasury that
it is his purpose to treat the
report Of the receiver OF the Ma
rine Bank Of New York as = confidential
communication. This announcement is
in keeping with the policy Of the Comp
troller's office. Broken national banks
are treated as if nobody except the Comp
troller had any interest in knowing any
thing about their affairs. The ComptrOl-
Ter appoints the receiver. fixes his COM
pensation. announces the time of paying
the dividends and, in fact, does everything
that Is required TO be done TO wind up the
business Of a broken bank. The direct
ors know nothing. and the depositors are
told nothing after the receiver takes
charge.
Under Mr.. knoN's administration Of the
Comptroller's office. there was never any
charge of dishonesty or fayOritism in
settling the affairs Of broken banks, but
sometimes there was good deal Of CON-
plant about the secrecy that was MAIN
tanned. Even thelate United States Treas
urer used to say that depOsitOrs had
right 70 know the condition OF the BUSH
ness o. the broken banks, and from what
sources the dividends were derived.
There appears TO be no good
reason for the policy pursued
By the Comptroller. and the indications
are that in the case of the Marine Bank
an effort will be madeto have an open in
vestiration of the banks condition and an
exposure Of whatever crOOkedness may be
discovered. Il is claimed, and reasOna-
bly, claimed. that the exposure ought TO
be made as a check on reckless bank
management.

4 DELAYED Exhibit.

There are on exhibition in Boston some
five hundred samples Of Brazilian coffee,
representing the products Ofthatnumoerof
sub-districts of the great South American
Empire. This exhibit was collected oY
order OF the Emperor for the Boston tx
position held last fall. but, owing to the
singular neglect Of the Brazilian Consul
at New York. the goods were
not taken from the custom house
and forwarded 10 their destination
until few days ago. This is the
most remarkable coffee exhibit It is
stated. ever made. The Brszilians now
claim that their finer grades Of coffee are
superior 10 those Of any other country in
the world. containing 4 larger proportion
of s.cafeina." while the price is much less
than that Of Java. Mocha, etc. Many who
have been accustomed n the latter kinds
of coffee may not yield this point very
readily, but good Brazilian coffee, when
properly made, is good enough.
Brazil now produces within small
fraction of one-half Of all the coffee made
in the world. As coffee is an article of
consumption in nearly every family in
the United States. and probably nine out
of ten who drink coffee use that grown in
Brazil. the Boston exhibit possesses
more than a passing interest. DR.. Van
Tuyl. the Commissioner in charge Of the
exhibit. saws that much Of the
coffee now sold as Rio is worthless, and
that il is not just that this should be taken
as a fair sample Of the coffees OF South
America. Probably one-halt Of the coffee
sold in the South is Of inferior grades, and
in many places il is an but impossible to
procure good coffee.
1t is to be hoped that this Brazilian cof-
fee exhibit may remain in the United
States for some time to come. and be shown
at the New Orleans and other proposed
expositions. so as to familiarize the peo-
pie, and dealers especially, with the merits
and dement's of the different varieties and
grades OF Rio coffee.
