The recent fleeing Of the public by
Fnnkel Bros. Of Virginia City, toseth-
or With the roasting Indicted by the late
failures in San Franchise, may possibly
have the effect Of arousiuS people 10 u
realization Of the necessity Of Legisls-
tive action for protection against rob-
berry by specializing brokers' Under
the present system. a man who ventures
chance Of escaping alive. for should he
be so fortunate as 20 avoid the horns OF
the bulls aud the paws OF the bears he
Is quite likely to get his quietus at the
hands Of his broker. In the face Of
these periodical failures aud defaIca-
lions Of stock brokers, it seems surpris-
ing that people would continue to re-
pose confidence in the integrity of these
men to the extent Of millions Of money.
Under the existing system. the broker
may use his patrons funds in the most
reckless manner. with impuuity; IA sub.
version Of the same being nothing but n
breach Of trust, the penalty for which il
merely nominal, aud as no securities
are required. the only redress Of the
ruined patron, is a draft upon the nat
ural philosophy he may have at his dis.
posal. The abuses referred to have
reached a pitch demanding prompt &C.
ton for their correction, and the fol-
lowing from one Of our Carson City ex
changes. is a good and timely sugges.
ton:
There should be n stringent Law
against brokers specializing in stocks OIL
their customers money. with n penalty
OF ten years in the State Prison il
caught, and each firm which goes into
the brokerage business should deposit n
sufficient amount OF securities with the
State Controller to secure its customers
in the event Of failure. The same
system which holds with the national
banks should be made to apply to any
firm dealing largely with other peoples
money.
The coming session OF the Legisla,
ture would be a good time to straighten
these matters out. The amount of
money required to be deposited with
the State should DO sufficient to make II
a question Of high license. and thus
drive the irresponsible bucket shops to
the wall. Such a law would have saved
thousands OF people on this coast from
being beggared by stock brokers'"

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 5-The last act
of the Knights of Labor convention was the
Issue of an address to the trades unions, in
which it is stated that the proposals Of the
unions made early to the convention have
been deferred as they are believed
to be inconsistent with the duty
of the convention to its own
members, The basis Upon which an agree
ment can be reachedtthe address says, would
necessarily include the adoption of plan
by which protection could be assured to all
labor organizations against the expelled
members of each other, and a plan
of exchange of cards is sug-
serted for this purpose. 1t is also proposed
that when a strike is under discussion in
any establishment the members of all or
gani ations employed should have voice
in the matter. The trade anionists declare
the address unsatisfactory.

Early Death Predicted - Doorkeeper
Wardcr Censured, but Retained.
WASHINGTON CITY, June "a letter
was given to the public Friday afternoon
late, addressed to the president by Secretary
Manning. In it Mr. Manning says he has
decided to place his resignation in the presi-
dents hands, and asks its acceptance His
reasons for this action in brief
are that rejection has convinced him
that the full recovery of his health
requires a long period Of rest, which would
not be practirabe were he to remain at the
head OF the treasury department, as the
proper condagt of that Office requires the
constant and watchful control of the secre-
tary.
The secretary declares that the reforms
in the customs laws are necessary TO the
safety of the country; that
the present tariff is need
less oppression that our currency is a chaos
under an i'll judged coinage law that hinders
the opening OF our mints TO the natural and
unlimited coinage of both precious metals,
He says all needfu customs might be col
lected by strictly revenue duties upon few
| articles and that a better currency
is obtainable by few laws repeal
ing and EN- owering legislation, and few
years OF capable administration of the
treasury lie therefore asks to be per
| mited to stand aside and make way for
some one ply sicaly fitted for the eIuire-
| ments of the POSITION.
| The presidents answer indorses the secre
! retary & remarks regarding reforms in the
customs, and the necessity of change in
the financial policy, and adds that he has
hoped that the party to which he
be.ong-, influenced by confidence
| in the secretary, might be led
to harmonious action on these questions
He would he strongly inclined to decline to
| accept tae resignation, but that he is CON
med that lie should have at heart the
safey AMI welfare OF the secretary. lie
therefore With great unwiilingness accepts
the resignation, and expresses the hope that
| freedom from the cares Of Office may result
| in his entire recovery
Secretary and Mrs Manning, accom-
panied by Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nne Miller and Mrs. Miller, will leave this
city Immediately on special car
on the Chesapeake 4 Ohio railroad,
for Warm Springs, Bath county, Virginia.
Mir Manning, after brief solourn at this

WASHINGTON CITY, June ; Respecting
the order for the assembling of our north
Atlantic squadron high Official said:
There is no special significance TO lie at
tached to this order, and it does not mean
that our government believes there is cause
for any demonstration of force whatsoever,
but it is true that the appearance OF British
men of-w2r in Canadian waters has re-
minded the government of the necessity of
giving the squadron a cruise and having il
in proper shape for any service that might
be required of it This utterance indicates
that our government, while not expecting
any serious trouble over the fisheries dis
putcs, still finds it necessary to make some
PREPARATION to meet such trouble should il
arise.
