The Ward Indictment.

The prospect that Ferdinand Ward will
soon be tried for the part he took in
wrecking the Marine Bank is very prom
Using. Ward is now in Ludlow street Jail
in default Of 100000 bail, on charge of
having cheated the late City Chamber
lain Tappan out of that sum by inducing
him to invest in the fraudulent firm of
Grant & Ward.
The charge in the Indictment against
Ward is that he went into the Marine Bank.
without the permission of the bank officers,
and carried off securities of the face value
of $1,000, 900, and of the market value of
s40O,Oo0
An effort will be made to have Ward
locked up in the Tombs. He is having
too many comforts, it is thought, in Lud-
low street Jail. In the Tombs he Will
have taste of prison life.
If he should be convicted for the crime
with which he is now charged, he would
in all probability be sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The attorneys of James D. Fish, the
convicted President Of the wrecked bank,
are making extraordinary efforts to Sc
cure a new trial for him. They will leave
no means untried to accomplish their pur-
pose.
There appears to be a difference OF
opinion whether Fish and Ward have
saved much from the financial storm
which overlook them. They appear to
have plenty of money to pay for the luxu-
ries which they have, and to meet the de-
msnds of their lawyers. There are many
who believe that they saw the disaster
which threatened them soon enough to
provide for themselves handsomely They
are two bad men, and it is probably the
wish of honest New York business men
that a prison shall be their abiding place
aor the next 10 or ID wears.

The Enidemic in snain.

At last it is officially announced that
the disease that is prevailing in the pro-
vince Of Valencia, Spain, is cholera, and
that it is epidemic. The Spanish authori-
ties either did not believe the disease to
be cholera, or they hoped to check it with
out permitting its real character to be-
come known.
It was a mistake, Of course, to attempt
to conceal the nature Of the sickness if it
were known, because however great the
means taken to prevent its spread it was
not probable that they would prove effec-
tive. The people would not be as careful
as if they knew their danger.
The existence of cholera in Spain shows
that the disease is not yet stamped out in
Europe, as it was hoped that it was when
its progress in Paris was arrested. The
greatest care ought to he exercised in
guarding against its introduction into this
country. Doubtless the health officers OF
the ports and the officers Of the Marine
Hospital Service have made what they
think are ample preparations for protec-
ton.
There is something occurring all the
time, however, to show that the greatest
vigilance is necessary. A day or two ago
the Surgeon General Of the Marine Hospi-
tai Service was compelled 10 take steps to
prevent the sale of mattresses in the city

cause they had been used by immigrants
who had been sick with some Kind of

up and offered for sale in the city shows
that for gain there are those IN Baltimore.
and, perhaps, in every other city in the
country, who are ready 10 endanger the
pu0lic health.

There is no reason to think that the
motion for new trial in the Cluverius
case Will be granted. 1t is not expected,
probably, by the defense that it will be.
The court exercised the greatest care in
itsrulings, and it is hardly probable that
additional argument viii occasion a
change in its opinion on any material
point.
1t remains to be seen what the higher
court will do, for the case will be carried
to the highestcourt Of the State, Of course,
on the exceptions which were noted dur
ing the trial. There may have been an
error committed somewhere in the long
and tedious trial that may be deemed suf-
1cient to Justify new trial.
No other criminal case in many years
in Virginia has excited so much and so
general interest as this Cluverius case.
The crime for which Cluverius has been
convicted was peculiarly atrocious one.
The jury say that he ruined his sweet
heart, who was his cousin, and that he
then murdered her when the result of
their Illicit love could no longer be con-
cealed.
1t seems strange that man brought up
under refining influences, and having the
advantages of a good education and ex-
cellent religious training, could be guilty
Of such a cold-blooded murder. There is
some little excuse for the man who, in the
heat of passion, stains his hands in HUI
man blood, but there is none where the
foul crime of murder is deliberately
planned, and the pretense of love or
friendship is kept up until the moment
for the execution OF the awful deed ar
rives. II the theory of the State in the
Cluyerius case is right Cluyerius main
tanned the attitude of a lover until he was
ready to rob Lillian Madison of her
life at the Richmond reservoir. He
began to put into execution his hor-
rible purpose even while he spoke words
of love and called to his victims face the
smile of confidence.

The BrOncho Died Happy.


Bill Parker, a well known mining man of
Colorado, tells story about a horse which he
says Is true. Several years ago he bought a
buckskin brOncho in the Ute Agency from an
Indian for quart OF whisky and shipped it
to Leadvllle. About month afterWard he
went to Leadville, and one day thought he
would take a ride. BE put a saddle on the
brutes back and cinched the animal up in the
manner that all meek eyed bronchos are
cinched and jumped astride. Bill saws he
felt himself rising in the air, the broncho
sticking to him; then he felt a shock, and re-
membered nothing more until he was ished
out of the Arkansas river. The animal had
run away and thrown him over an embank-
ment so feet high.
A week or so afterwards one of Bill's friends
wanted to go prospecting, and Mr.. Parker
very generously place q the brOncho at his dis
posal. The result was that man and horse
were picked up at the foot of Il 60-foot preci-
plce-the man with a broken leg, and the
horse tightly wedged in between two rocks,
but little hurt. A number of ambitious
miners then attempted to conquer the vicious
brute, but no one ever succeeded in staying
on his back. Finally some of the men IN the
camp became disguised. They secured the
buCkng broncho, put q saddle on him, and
lashed log Of wood on his back. The last
seen of him he was crossing the range, at
tempting to get rid of the log by rubbing it
against the sky. A week later the heroic
bucker was found dead at the foot of preci-
pice 300 feet high. He was rid OF the log how
ever, nor could it be fonnd, and Bill says
there was look of perfect resignation on the
animals face as If he had died contented.

The Fntnre of sngnr.

The sugar growers OF this country who
have survived the disasters of the past
few years and are yet in the business ap-
pear to have passed the crisis and to have
promising future before them. The beet
sugar growers of Europe appear to be no
longer dangerous competitors, and the
sorghum-sugar interests nave not attained
to the position and Importance that the
many enthusiasts on the subject thought
they would. The idea that both beet and
sorghum sugar could be produced at a
much less cost than cane sugar is now an
exploded one.
While the above is true, there is 10
Likelihood that sugar production will ex-
perience anything like an undue stimulus
in this country. There has been an adj
vance in price, but it is not so great as to
cause much excitement in the market.
and there is no promise of any very con-
siderable advance in price in the near
future. 1t is believed, however. that the
period of depression is safely passed
more safely because Of the improbability
that sugar will become a favorite article
of speculation. The bulls and the bears
DO not appear TO be as fond Of sugar as
they are Of stocks, bonds, cotton, wheat,
oil, etc. This fact makes it pretty certain
that the demand for sugar is, and will
continue to be, genuine and healthy.
There is no probability that people will
rush blindly into sugar planting as they
did into cotton planting just after the war.
The probable margin Of profit is not great
enough TO tempt them to do that 1t is
probable, though, il no further misfortune
overtakes the sugar interests that the
sugar production of the country will now
gradually, if not rapidly, increase. and
the sugar territory will be considerably
extended In the near future.
There is many times as much sugar con-
sumed in this country as there is pro-
duced here, and hence there is no danger
Of over production. This being the case.
it might be well for the planters of Florida
and Southern Georgia 10 begin 10 consider
the propriety Of deyoting more attention
TO the cultivation OF the sugar cane. It
will doubtless be in great demand for seed
during the next two or three years, and
after that, when the sections Of country
adapted 20 it are well stocked with seed,
there 10 reason 10 believe that the produce
ton of sugar will become a popular and
profitable industry in sections Of the South
where II is now almost unknown.

The Fatal state Department.

Two Specimens.

Thus far the public prints have contain
ed the reasons given by two Republican
officials for resigning their offices, and it
IS safe 10 say that neither of them
occupies so high a position in the
estimation Of either Democrats Or Repub-
licans as they did before they resigned.
They undertook to make their fellow
citizens think that they were influenced
/ by high and praiseworthy motives. The
truth appears TO be that they are both
demagogues and lack the honest manl-
ness that commands universal respect.
One of these Republican officials is K.
Root, and he held the Office Of Marshal Of
the Southern district of Iowa. Mr.. Root
wrote to the President letter in which
he rendered his resignation, and stated as
reason for resigning that the Democrats,
having worked hard for success and hav-
ing been successful, ought to have the
offices. 1t was very nice of Mr.. Root, of
course, to want the Democrats to enjoy
the fruits of their victory, but is it a fact
that he resigned for the reason that he al
legedY
The truth is that Mr.. Root had been
elected to another and better office, and
it is fair to presume that he resigned the
office of Marshal to accept it. His letter
TO the President was published and
commented on. 1t was said that
he had set manly example,
which other Republican officials would do
well to follow, But, in fact, did he pur-
sue a manly course? Would he have re-
signed if he had not got better office? 1t
is highly probable that he would not. The
chances are that he would have stayed
until removed, and that he would
have whimpered like a whipped boy
and have loaded the air with complaints.
He would even have attempted doubt
less to prevent the confirmation Of his
successor. If he is really the straghtfOr-
ward sort of man that he tried to make
out he would have resigned before he
secured a better office, and he would have
been modest about it. He wouldn't have
paraded his act before the public and
asked his fellow citizens to admire him.
The other Pecksnif is A. F. Howard,
who was Collector of Customs at Ports
mouth, \. H. The facts in his case were
stated in our dispatches yesterday. He
resigned because, as he alleged, he was
such a radical Republican that he
couldn't think of holding an office under
a Democratic administration. There is
some satisfaction in knowing that the
truth generally struggles to the surface.
This man Howard, it seems, resigned not
because he has any objection to serving
under Democratic administration, but
because he was paid to resign. In ex-
change for his resignation he was given
business that was much more profitable
than the Office he held, and vet he had the
cheek to attempt TO deceive the public
and to try to make capital with his party
by fraudulent pretense. Well, if there
are many more patriots like these among
the Republican officials, the President
cannot too soon turn the rascals out"

Inside History of some Royal Gifts.

Princess Beatrice has been presented with
a set of silver candelabra as the wedding gift
OF the Queens household. The manner in
which these official gifts" are extracted is
highly diverting, except to the donors, who
will be heartily glad that there can be no
more royal weddings for some considerable
period. Such presents are purchased by com
pusory contributions from the members of
the household, for they are demanded in such
way that nobody dares refuse to subscribe
an adequate amount. The whole thing is so
thorou4 hly matter of routine that I believe
the functionarY who collects the funds is en-
titled to retain percentage on the amount
obtained.
