a FORM OF ROBBERY.

While no one wishes harm to old Count
de LessepS, there is a genera! desire TO VEN
tllate the methods he is alleged to have
adopted TO sell shares of Panama Canal
stock to the people. The Econ0miste Fran
caiSe declares the Panama affair is the great
est financial scandal of the nineteenth Gen.
tury. The scandal does not lie so much in
the magnitude OF losses as in the methods
by which, according to report, shares were
palmed of on the public. 1t appears from
the FrdHcGiSe that a number of French
papers hold with the Chronicle of this city
that a newspapers editorial columns are as
properly for sale as general merchandise.
At all events, the charge is now made by a
responsible paper that many millions were
squandered in bribing the French press" 1t
further declares that ''the papers were hired
TO seduce by fallacious statements small cap
italists to invest" The gravity OF this Of
tense lies in the deception practiced upon
readers Of newspapers. People read adver-
tsements and take them for about what
they are worth. They are known as the
statements OF an interested party. Beyond
certain extent no one expects them to con-
fine themselves TO the absolute truth. If
land were advertised for sale it would be
expected that there would be land to be
purchased in the advertised locality. But
the conditions which fix the value of land
would be expected TO be dealt freely with
by the advertiser. In the Panama affair
there were the two oceans which it
was desirable 10 unite; the strip
Of land to be cut through to connect
the two oceans was a reality, but the coudi-
tions upon which the feasibility of the work
depended were grossly misrepresented
This Misrepresentation was not made alone
IN the advertising columns, which are read
with tie understanding that they contain
the statements of interested parties, but in
editorial columns, which were presumed to
speak the honest opinions of their conductors
4 more contemplate crime than this cannot
be conceived. A newspaper enters family
as friend. Its aims and purposes are sup
posed to be to advance the general public
interests. One of the duties it has assumed
is to warn the public against knaves who lie
in wait TO rob lnem. But when. instead Of
warning its readers against a knave it in
PRODUCES him and becomes responsible for
him, it is more dangerous than the knave
himself. When it declares that his objects
are honest and afford reasonably safe and
profitable investment of money it betrays its
trust. The public, not knowing the schemes
might not trust him, but thinking they know
the editor. they do trust him. There is no
more gross nor indefensibe form of robbery
than this. Men have made money by such
practices. but the possession Of money has
only made their ofieuses the more conspieu-
Gus. The time always comes when the pub
lie ceases to trust such sheets. s. COM
munity so deceived is implacable, and its
silent wrath carries sting which robs
wealth of its highest value.

under greater temptation than their white

They cannot have a white mans interest in
building up permanent industry. Being

useless letters yet, but we are making fair
progress. The English are welded to GER
tain letters. They think they give the word
body, though they may not have much show
in the pronunciation. Americans dropped
the "u' in such words as "parlor,"
honor" candor." long time ago and
have never missed it. The English think
that the absence OF the ~ " in such words
detracts from their symmetry. The COM
plant against the copyright act has a more
substantial foundation. Minor English
authors have been brought into prominence
by large American editions of their works.
for which, perhaps, they received no i'm

fishers will now confine themselves 10 works
OF suthors of established regulations. Being
unable TO issue cheap editions, as formerly,
they will be more careful in their selections
of works to reprint. The works reprinted
will be sold at the same price American
books of similar character are sold at. and
in consequence sales will be comparatively
small. The English wanted the copyright
and they have got it. Now they do
not want it. What they really want

Perhaps the most instructive contrast
suggested by the recurrence of the national

between this and other nations. One hun

template French alterations with COM
posture. and even the followers of Fox did
not propose any violent disturbance of
established Institutions. Frederick tie Great

power by doubling her territory, her popu-
ldtion and her revenue. At his death he
beQueathed TO his successor his plan for the
consolidation of the German States into an
empire. which Bismarck was destined II

INHERITED CENSURE.

Two or three Eastern papers. whose edit
ors have probably never read the Cnnstitu-
ton of the State of California, censure
Controller Colgan for his hesitation to sign
the warrant on the Treasurer for the
100000 appropriation for the Worlds Fair
The Chronicle thinks there should have been
no hesitation in signing the warrant. The
legal adviser of the Controller advised that
official not to sign the warrant. The Attor-
ney-General of the State thought the law
making the appropriation constitut onal
Lawyers being divided on that point, the
Controller thought it safe to obtain judi
cial decision. All he wants is decision of
the Supreme Court that the law making the
appropriation is constitutional. public
official should be commended for this eau
ton. There is certainly ground enough
upon which to argue that the appropriate
is unconstitutional to justify the official
who has to interpret the meaning of the
clauses in the Constitution relating to ap-
preparations in fortifyiBg himself with j
judicial opinion. Meantime the money is
safe in the Treasury. There will be TIM

TRICKS THAT ARE VAIN.

The weekly papers which have commented
upon the peculiar reception the Eraminer
gave its One-time partner do not give that
journal credit for its sincerity They think
the Democratic organ is trying TO throw dust
IN the eyes of the people. Buckley" says
one of these weekles, will seem to be out
and the people will be fooled again" 1t is
not credtable to the Eraminer that its sim
cerity in a matter of SO much importance
should be doubted. That paper is not pro-
fessedly comic or satirical publication. 1t
asks the public to accept its statements as
truth and its opinions as honest. 1t must
have made some strange slips in its career
to warrant not unfriendIy contemporaries
in assuming that it is deliberately deeeiving
the public. 1t is a little odd, by the way.
that the Examiner diseredits the report that
Buckley and Rainey are out. L: intimates
that their disagreement is sham-that the
two men are. in fact, as close allies as ever.
The public spreads its wings and takes the
Examiner into the fold of shammers. Peo-
pie, especially those who have had some
faith in the honesty of that journal, cannot
comprehend how it should have served so
well a man as black as it now declares
Buckley to be.

A TEXT FOR A SERMON.

1t will probably occur to more than one of
the clergymen who will hold divine service
In the city churches to-day to connect their
Communications of piety with some refer
ences 10 the anniversary which was cele-
brated yesterday. On occasions like these
ii is well TO indulge in retrospection in or
der tn take stock of progress. One hundred
and fifteen years of national life constitute
&c period long enough to test the working of
institutions. II at the expiration of that
period candid survey reveals an increase
of ignorance, poverty and crime, it will be
safe 10 infer that there is something wrong
in our methods and principles. Ii, on the
contrary. knowledge, prosperity and m oral
ity have gained ground. the presumption is
that the methods are judici0us and the
principles sound. And again. if it is found
that knowledge and morality have made
swifter progress in other countries than they
have in the United States, it may be fair to
suspect that there is something wanting in
our system which is not wanting il theirs.
Il is not very easy to draw a correct pic
ture OF American society a hundred and
fifteen years ago. But we know that
the section of eOuhtry in which the
Maine liquor law was subsequently
born refused TO acQuiesce in the
Federal Union il its right to manufacture
and sell bay rum in unlimited quantities was
impaired. We also know that in the bet
society in America, as in the mother couB-
try, it was not accounted disgraceful for
gentleman to get drunk habitually at the
dnner-table, and that those who did not
fall in with the practice were exceptions.
What the prevailing standards were in re-
gard 10 the relations of the sexes may be in
ferred from the popularity of Aaron Burr,
who was the darling of society until he
killed Hamilton. a contrast between his
glory and PaInelPs disgrace is instructive
as marking the change which has taken
place in public opinion in a century, That
crime was frequent in those old days NAV
be inferred from the brutality with which
il was punished. Contemporary writers
draw hldeous pictures of the underground
prisons in Connecticut where poor wretched
creatures, awaiting their trials for theft. APP
pealed piteously to bystanders for food-as
exies to Siberia do 10 this day.
The reader of the political literature of
the close of the last century is struck with
the backwardneSs OF political science at that
period, even among those who might have
been supposed to be well Informed Chaun-
cey Depew said the other day that Hamil-
ton was one of the men whose memory
would live forever. But neither Hamilton
nor Adams had any conception Of the
American idea-thsy were as far from un-
Outstanding democratic republic as Wash

people to govern themselves. SO in lesser

finance were crude. No one understood
finance in those days. But it is curious

The New York Tribune reminds the off :.
cials connected with the Washington Bridge
that the bridge was completed on the 22l of
March, 1889, and that the commission have
since had nothing to do except to draw their
pay. This sale duty they continue to per-
form with a serene disregard of any reaso n
why they shonld not that promises long con-
tinnance in their present course. The
Bridge Commission arr, in fact, in a pecu-
liarly perplexing preGicament. They have
finished the bridge, but cannot find any city
officials to whom their trust may be surren-
dered. The presumption is that they have
looked leng and earnestly for such officials,
and that their failure to find them is due en-
tirely TO the fact that none have been created
