A STATEMENT BY WARD.
The New York Herald of Oct.
9Th prints story told by Ferdinand
Ward, which he alleges to be full
and complete. The account makes
two pages. Reviewing it editorially
the Herald says: OF poor General
Grant, Ward says that he never
looked at the books, but took every
thing to be right with Fish. Ward
said he had made a good deal Of
money from q mine, and had one
hundred thousand dollars of his
own to put into the firm of Grant
and Ward and Fish in July, 1880,
the other two partners putting in
each an equal amount. In Novem-
Der of the same year General Grant
was admitted to the firm, and it
seems that thereafter the firm began
to make frequent losses. The coal
mines of General Gordon, the West
Shore bonds of General Horace
Porter and various other losing ven
lures were entered upon, Ward
says, mostly upon the suggestion of
the Grants, and it is curious to read
that even Jay Gould acted the bene-
VIOLENT part of adviser FOR the per-
fectly safe financial operation.
A CRUSADE AGAINST VICE IN NEW
YORK.
New York's pet Police Captain,
Williams, was before the Senate In
vestigating Committee Oct. 18th.
His testimony furnishes curious
sequel to the exposures already
made of our corrupt excise system.
According to the Times, which is
one Of Williams admirers, the Cap
tain said he stood by all that he had
said in his written reports about the
Cremorne, the Haymarket and Tom
Gould's being resorts for women OF
at least doubtful character; but
withal he considered them proper
places to be licensed. eve might
as well look this question in the
face, gentlemen. These fast women
must be taken from the streets.
They cannot help themselves often
times. So soon as it is known that
woman's reputation is bad most
women won't employ her, and hall
the time they won't let anybody
else employ her. There is a law
against killing her. She must live
and she seeks that living in til,
streets, low as it is. Now, l LOOK
upon any place as q blessing thai
will get these people off the street:
under one roof. The police know
where they are. So long as thu
place is quiet and orderly the public
does not suffer much inconvenience,
from it. If it is not orderly tn,
police know their duty. The place
you have questioned me about arr
careful to keep within the bound
of law, so far as / know. 1t wa
with full knowledge of the kind o
people they shelter that / made m,
reports on their applications TO
license.
The Tribune says: Every well
informed man in this city know
these resorts are disgrace to Ney
York. 1t is very well to keep tn
streets safe, but the police ought t
strive to do more than dam up i'm
morality within doors. Captain
Williams should be a little cautious
To talk as he did yesterday is t
offer direct encouragement to TIL
stories which gravely impeach hi
integrity as police officer. Th
crusade of the Business Mems As
ISOLATION against vice in the distric
in which Captain Williams proteste
the houses stand is beginning to bea
fruit.
The Sun says: Nobody was a
lowed to loiter in West Twenty
seventh street last night. The me-
policemen kept everybody movin
on. The result of the new systel
was the first thing reported at til
meeting of the Owners and Bus
ness Mems Association when it mt
at l07 West Twenty-seventh stree
to hear what had been accomplishe
during the past week toward purif,
ing that thoroughfare of disrepu
able men and women. Abundant
of money has been subscribed, MOI
than could be used at present. III
agent of one of the houses rente
for nefarious purposes is an elder
an uptown church.
