If any person with money to invest read The
TimesS words of approval and commentator
in November, 1884, when this steal was con-
summated, and believed them, why should
there not now be innocent holders If they
are innocent" says The Times of this year,
they are innocent in the provincial sense of
being imbecile." True enOugh-so they are.
The 1imesS reputation for sinister Topping is
so widely established that any one who risks his
money or even his guieless faith on its state
ments must certainly be deficient in wit And
when suffering the results of his misplaced con
fidence, should he be- weak enough to plead that
he had only followed its advice and acted in
good faith upon its assurances, he must expect
to be met with the grim retort. Then you were
an mbecile !"

JEFFERSON DAVIS ONCE MORE

1t is announced that Jefferson Davis has ac-
cepted an invitation to lecture in Montgomery,
Ala. in behalf of the fund TO erect monument
to Confederate soldiers, and that he has con-
scented TO lay the cornerstone Of the mOnu-
ment. 1t is added that great interest in the Oc-
cason centres in the fact that on the porch of
the Capitol building in Montgomery Davis
took the oath of office as President of the Con-
federacy.
These incidents are of more than local inn
portance because of the light which they throw
upon the state and condition of the current
patriotism of Alabama Mr. Davis is a rebel
who has never been recon structed. Ever since
Lee surrendered at Appomattox as occasion
offered he has been at pains to air his dis
loyal sentiments. He has never professed to
repent Of his colossal crime against bis country.

he MUST BE an LMBECILE.


THE TRIBUNE has not resisted the startling
proposal for annullng the charter Of the Broad
way Surface Railway by legislative enactment.
1t does not approve of any step which even sug-
eests a breach of the public faith. But a crisis
in municipal Affairs such as the present GER
tainly requires heroic treatment, and the inno-
cent, if there are any innocent ones in this
knavish mess, may yet have in this or some
other way to suffer the consequences of their
evil associations.
The NeU- York Times takes a much more ex-
IRENE view of the subject, and sneers vigOr-
ously at the theory that there are any innocent
holders of @Jake" Sharp's bonds. If nybody
was so gullibe as to put any faith in The
Times's Endorsement of Sharp and his gang, we
don't see W ny there are no innocent holders. In
assuming that there are Done, we have gone on
the theory that nobody pays any attention to
either the approvals or the condemnations of
The Times, but in order that the public may
see how innocent readers of that sheet may
have been led into buying Sharp's bonds, and
how strongly temp ted they must now be to con-
sign their newspaper adviser to long woe, we
will place side by side what The Times said of
Sharp. the Aldermen and the charter in 1884
and what it SAYS of them now

q short time since treaty OF peace between
the Hovas and the French was signed, and al
though the Frenchmen claimed to have OBJ
tanned great advantages over their opponents,
nm examination Of the convention did not sus-

French soldiers have been badly defeated, so
badly, indeed. as to suggest that the Hovas
have been acting treacherously. Yet that
would be most unlike them. The causes OF the
trouble, however, are not so important as the
results of it are likely to be to the De Freycinet

Congress would do wisely TO reflect carefully
before passing a law establishing Bureau of
Animal Industry. To well-infOrmed people,
farmers especially. this looks like an unjustiti-
able attempt to fatten certain set of officious
men at the public crib. The matters which the
proposed bureau would have charge of lie en-
tirely within the province of the States.
Principally it would have sick cattle to attend
to. and this business the State authorities
already mind where there is need In con-
nection with this bill there will be great deal
of talk, of course, about the honest farmers in
terests; but really the main demand for it
comes from the men VINO hope to handle the
appropriation.
