IN RE LOTHROP.

The Democratic press has no excuse for mis-
representing THE TRIBUNE's course in relation
10 Mr.. Lothrop. The case has been plainly
stated. The President has appointed as Minister
70 Russia a lawyer whose professional conduct
was denounced twenty years ago by the highest
court in this State. We have shown this to be
the case by publishing extracts from tne
opinion of Judge Potter. 1t now rests with
the United States Senate to determine whether
it can confirm the appointment.
Mr.. Lothrop has what his friends consider
complete defence. 1t will be necessary for the
Senate to examine that defence and to ascertain
whether it disposes of the serious charges made
not by his political enemies, nor by partisan
press. but by judicial tribunal OF the highest
character. Meanwhile, his friends may as well
recognize the gravity of the situation. Com
plimentary resolutions hastily adopted by a
legislative chamber or by intimate associates at
the bar do not break the force of the rcbuke
administered to Mr.. Lothrop by the Court
of Anpeals after calm and deliberate review OF
his professional conduct.
HorDer's Veekly assumes that Mr.. LothrOps
assertion of his innocence in the Phoenix Bank
case settles the matter. This is an easy way OF
reversing decision Oh inc NOulb VI hppChS'
There is no ground for suspecting that Judge
Potter was influenced by motives OF personal
luminosity in administering 70 Mr.. Lothrop one
of the most scathing rebukes lawyer ever re-
ceived from the bench He was broad
minded iurist whose reputation for integrity
and impartiality has never been assailed. The
opinion prepared by him was strictly in line
with the original decision rendered i'll the
Special Term where the case was first argued.
1t expressed the judgment Of the highest court.
There is no other opinion on record. The
Judges, while dissenting from some of his
views, cOncurrcd in the judgment and allowed
that opinion to be recorded as the final adjudi-
cation of the case. 1t stands to-day as the
record of the judgment of the Court of Appeals.
1t cannot be reversed by petifogging refer
ences to the decision of the General Term, nor
by certificates of character from precipitate
legislators and sympathetic associates at the
bar.
In citing the records of the Court of Appeals
TIE TRIBUNE has not made an assault upon
Mr.. Lothrop. 1t has no quarrel with him. It
has simply performeda public duty In directing
attention to the Judgment of the court.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1885-06-04

adjusted with that price as basis, rlsing lor
puddlers 10 cents for every tenth OF ceht LII
the price Of iron. In like manner, the Wbges
hitherto fixed for the nailmakers have Deeh
based upon 50 so per keg as the lowest price,
with wages increasing in correspondence WIN
every advance from that price. The IRON
makers now insist that the present market price
of bar iron shall be the basis, and that wages
shall advance with each rise in price from tia'
point. and the nailmakers insist that 81 per keg
shall be the basis, with prices advancing from
that point.
1t appears that, at least at some points, other
differences between the workers and the man
ufacturers are more important than the dl1er-
ence in wages. The men have insisted that
they should be paid the same sum for work
done, whether the rails or bars turned out were
defective and worthless or sound. This claim
they base upon the theory that defects In the
rails or bars produced are caused by working III
material of inferior quality. The manufacturers
on the other hand, claim that it would be put
ting premium on careless or inefficient work
to allow the same wages for bars or rails spolled
as for products of proper quality.
At Pittsburg, another meeting OF the work
men has been called for the purpose OF re-
cons lering the offer made before the strike be-
gan. Tho workmen, it may be remembered,
after failing to agree with the manufacturers III
conference, decided upon scale virtually re-
ducing wages about ten per cent from those
paid last year. But this was accompanied with
important new stipulations, such as the one In
regard to payment for unsound bars or rails
and was refused by the manufacturers, in some
cases because of these other stipulatiOns, and in
other cases because the change in the rate OF
wages was not deemed sufficient. The men
now say that if they have to strike at all, they
may as well insist upon the higher rate OF
wages paid last year, in addition to the other
advantages proposed. The meeting contem-
plated is for the purpose of Withdrawing the
agreement to the reduction hitherto proposed
and substituting demand for the wages paid
last year. The manufacturers who were ex-
pected to unite in resisting the demand have
thus far stood together, for those who have
signed the proposed scale were from the outset
expected to do so, because of the special
branches Of work in which they were engaged
1t is stated in dispatches from Pittsburg that
there are now 100 mills closed in the western
district because OF the strike, and over $4,000
men are idle Reckoning their wages mt only -
a day, the direct loss to the labOrers on account
of the strike would be $4,000 daily.

4 DISGUISED PRESIDENT.

Mr.. Cleveland complains that nearly every
man who comes to see him spends his whole
time about the Offices. The only thing curious
about this is that Mr.. Cleveland should find 1t
curious. If he does not know that his party
closely resembles the Indiana turkey in APP
petite, and in omnivorousness Of appetite aud
in its indifference to higher considerations or
aims, he has something yet to learn.
He seems to be learning. 4 man must be
very dull indeed, if he cannot comprehend, after
three months perpetual boring and trickery,
bullying and deception about tho Offices that
the active men of his party care for nothing
else Ones sympathies are moved by the re-
port of his indignant wrath because these men
have outrageously abused his confidence, and
have recommended lOaiers and drunkards and
Jail birds and persons of Infamous character, and
have systematically lied to him in order to get
paid through him their personal debts To Demo-
cratic workers. But what did he expect Did the
innocent man really fancy that these politicians
cared for the public good! Did he really be-
lieve that while they were ranting about Re-
publican frauds, and the abuses of power by
Republicans, they meant to be clean, decent and
patriotic themselves 7 If so, the primary de-
partmont of a public school is good place for
him. Or did he think that these politicians
were going to care more for his reelection than
for their own If so many people not color
blind would find it hard to distinguish his inno
cence from greenness.
There has been from the first, and is now, a
hearty disposition to uphold Mr.. Cleveland in
all that he does that is for the public good.
Great patience has been shown toward him, too
by the people in their Judgments, for the people
know, if he does not, that he is bcset by the
most greedy and constituencies gang of place.

THE SCOTT EMBEZZLE.NENT.


The case Of Paying Teller Scott exhibits some
peculiarities AS rule, the men who rob banks
are spectators or fast livers or both. Also, as
a rule, they begin to embezzle in the hope of re-
trieying gambling losses, and go on because
they keep losing. But this man, so far as has
been ascertained, appears to have led a sober,
thrifty, blameless life for twenty years to
have earned the esteem and confidence of his
EMPLOYERS /; to have held steadily aloOf from all
the ordinary temptations; and then at last in a
few weeks or days, to have decided upon steal
ing great sum. 1t really looks as though this
crime may have been directly suggested and led
up to by the success of several notorious bank
embellishments during the past two years. Here
was man who had the opportunity always be-
fore him; who saw how easy it was to reach
Canada; who could easily ascertain the impo-
teuce of the law in such cases and who perhaps
observed also that men who had committed such
crimes and escaped with their plumber had little
to suffer from the moral indignation of society.
When man in such a situation, not originally
strong In the sense of honor, reflects long upon
these things, he is apt to conclude that his OPP
portunities ought not to be neglected, and then
the result may be what it has been in SCOTS
case. This seems to have been his first offence,
and he evidently has meant it to be his last, for

he has taken enough to secure him in comfort
for the rest of his days. And the ease with
which-a holiday aiding-the theft and the
flight were accomplished must render all
bankers uneasy, for the example is awkward.
If. as now stated, the fugitive has reached
Canada, the presumption is that he will not be
brought back. The multiplication of such cases
shows the need for an expansion of the list OF
extraditable Offences or, failing such an ar
rangement. the adoption of greater precautions
in all banking institutions.
