rHY RRorAEa,s KEEpER-

This matter Of salaries is a very i'm
portant matter; it affects every business
in the city. Too much cannot be said
about it for, either as employer or EN-
ploye, 1t Affects every man and nearly
ali the women, directly or indirectly in
this city and in every other city in the
Union. Hence we refer to the subject
OF insufficient salaries again, as forced
apon us by the case Of the dishonest
oank cashier of Brooklyn. 1t is similar
10 the case Of Smith here.
Bryce Arthur Whyte according to his
own statements. stole over $50, 600 from
the Wallabout Bank, Brooklyn, in less than
two years, and neither wine, women nor
Wall street got the money. This soft
voiced young Englishman, who lies
friendless in Raymond Street Jail, New
York, lived like a man Of wealth in New
Brighton, s l., while his salary in the
modest bank building across the bay
was $25 week.
He frequented the clubs, entertained
bis friends and lived jolly happy GO
lucky life. He kept two thoroughbreds,
one a steeple chaser, and drove the
swellest Of dog carts and tandems along
the Staten Island roads. In short, he
was "Mr Whyte, the Brooklyn banker, 4"
in his island home and plain young
Whyte, the,paying and receiving teller
behind the bank counter at Clinton and
Mrytle avenues.
About two years ago, seeing that he
was an excellent boolzkeeper and &C.
countant, very quiet, steady young man,
the directors by unanimous vote gave
him the positions of assistant cashier
and paying and receiving tellers when a
change was made in the bank force.
Whyte was considered so good a bank
man that two mems work was given
TO him to do, and his salary was
increased to 81, 200 year-$25 weekly
Sensible men, fair men, just men
might have known that this WAS wrong
The holy writ makes the unconditiona
declaration that "the laborer is worth,
Of his hire" and all wise and honorable
employers have recognized tho truth o
that saying since the world began to b.
civilized, That ia one Of the triumpbs o
civilization.
1t is an absolute demand of Chris
tiauity.
Viewing the crime Of Whyte In all o
its enormity of betrayed trust and per
sonal dishonor, HIS guilt does not reliev
C. be contributory guilt of the bankers
They allowed man to do the work o
two men in responsible and exactinl
positions, under constant temptations
for $25 a week. If the profits Of tn
bank were not sufficient to pay tn
necessary expenses requisite for safety
for engaging the highest qualities o
moral rectitude and the greatest degree
Of skill in accounting and bookkeeping z
then the business should have beer
closed.
It is no pallatiou to say that th'
bankers paid Whyte all that he dc
manded They should have known tina
they were not paying him enough TO liv
on, and that he was not livingat the rat
$40, 900 a year on 81, 600
"Am I my brothers keeperY" is
question of contributory liability that wa
settled centuries ago.

another man, If he promotes or permit

MIDNIGHT AT SEA.

Through the deep stiffness OF the awful night
heard the clamor of the ships great bell.
A voice cried, twelve O'Clock. and all is
welln
Then silence and the solemn watching light
Of the white moon on pillows wild and white
That yielded 70 her magical dear spell
The stormy hearts no lesser love could quell-
Slaves Of her lamp, and powerless 70 alright
All, when across the wide. unfathomed sea
Which no chart maps, whose depth no plummet
knows.
To dim, unconjectured shore we steer.
Through that wild night into whose depths we
fee
Farther than any wind from this world blows,

German soups.

Soups furnish n curious instance in which
Germany differs from other nations in the
preparation of food. Milk soups, sweet and
savory, chocolate soups, almond soup and
wine soup, frothed lemon soup and beer
soup are among the number, while soups
made of apples, pears, Strawberries, cur
rants and cherries are not uncommon.
There are also large number of fish soups
which bear a strong resemblance to the
fish soups Of the Russian ktchen.-Chi-

FOURTH Assistant Postmaster General
Maxwell, whose appointment has been
widely heralded as proclamation OF
war against anti Cleveland Democrats
In New York, declares that he will act
the part Of a harmonizer Much de
pends on his ideas Of harmony. "Of
course, said Heine, I'VE must forgive
our enemies-aiter they are hanged
Mr. Maxwell may mediate this kind Of
forgiveness, and proceed 10 establish
his harmony" by filling all the Offices
with anti snappers. There has been
undoubted proyocation to further po-
litical quarrel among New York Demo.
Gratis; but the country will be glad to
accept a literal Interpretation Of Mr..
Maxwell's professed intention The re.
suit of the November election IN New
York when Mr.. Cleveland received the
full vote Of his party. should have
sponged ont all past grievances. There
never was a time when IL was more es
sential that Democrats should stand
firmly and compactly together than 40
the present juncture -Philadelphia
Record
That is all true and wise as far as e
goes but it does not 20 far enough. The
Democrats should be potent in New
York; and the Democrats, not a machine,
should distribute the Offices. By a
curious series Of events q machine has
been able TO send a Murphy and a Hill as
Senators from the great State OF New
York 10 assist and advise Cleveland, Car
Isle and Gresham in the manag ment
Of the affairs Of State snd the Treasury
to adjust fnanclal difficulties, and sug
gest appointments to great Offices, rather
than send Whitney and Bourke Cochran.

More Advice About tho Police.


To the Editor OF the EVENING JouRNAL.
SIR-l see the City Council has had a
bill introduced in the Legislature for he
election of Police Commissioners should
such bill pass it would make more
trouble in the Police Department and
more wraugling at nominations and
elections than ever Let the Legislature
give us a hew commission, independent
of the mayor, the same as in other cities,
and we will have peaceable nominations
The way nominations have been con
Quoted in this city has been outrageous.
It is already intimated that certain can
oidates for mayor ere working among
the police If commissio ers are to te
nominated and elected il will be worse
still think it would be bad move to
elect commissioners and mayor at the
same time, aud think the next Legisla-
ture would be asked TO change the law
again. TAX PAYER.

IT is not strange that the applications
for divorce should create disgust among
the legislators. But that is not sufficient
reason for abolishing the committees.
The committees did such good work IN
agreeing to or permitting the McComb
case to slip quietly and unobtrusively
through that that alone is a reason for
their continuation. Divorces must be
had That is granted Hence the
mode only is TO be discussed.
Any mode which will prevent
the lifting Of the lids Of privacy
which cover the social sewer is not to be
despised II we must have divorces let
Us have them in the quickest and least
scandalous way. The best mode Of cur
ing the divorce evil is that Of guarding
against the hssty bad marriage evil more
carefully. The right Of marriage should
be more carefully guarded and those
who have he states authority to perform
the rite should be held to strict account
for errors Marriage is too easy; divorce
is often too difficult.

In addition to the various costs Of ar
rest, trial, imprisonment and board it is
preposterous that the commonwealth
should pay $4,000 year to provide work
for tramps That statement, IL true,
aud we have no reason for doubling il, is
sufficient to condemn the law in its pres
ent shape. II was enacted on the plea
and in the belief that It would not only
prevent tramps, and arrest the tendency
to vagrancy in this STATE, but would
enabl- the state TO reimburse itself for
their keep To the extent Of their Keep
the law has been failure-a costly fail
ure. II some method Of working them
to better advantage cannot be suggested
the law should be repealed. Vagrancy
must be dealt with in some other way
than by taxing honest labor $5,OOn, in
addition to the other costs of keep, to
provide dishonest labor with employ
ment 30 far as the expense Of the
arrest and detention of vagrants is con.
cerned that is all right, but a further
cost is all wrong, stupidity wrong It
might be cheaper to allow them
the freedom of the high
ways, for 1t is probable that they
would not do $1,000 worth Of damage
every year. We would save the s., 600,
in addition to twoor three times as much
for their arrest, trial and keep. The
suggestion that the law passed under
Judge Balls aovice be amended is excel
lent; but the amendment must be made
in practical way-experiments are
costly as well as inef. ctive. SO far as
we are concerned we perceive no obiec
tion to working the vagrants and the
able bodied criminals, not felons, on the
public roads under proper guards ap
pointed by the Levy Courts.

The weather to-day is likely
to be clear.
1t was just a little nebulous
delicate pink dot that twinkled
before his closed eyes. 1t was
fascinating. When fancy put
it upon a background of pre-
cisely the same color it grew
more beautiful. Then he trans
lated it from fancy to fact and
the exquisite film, Silk Wrap
Cashmere, pink ground with
self dots (the dots formed by
changing the weave) came into
being.
Then followed blue, lilac,

vary in sizes and the color
scheme got into stripes.

Two Stories of La Brohan.

One day on leaving the stage Augustine
Brohan happened to hear two fellow artists

tremely engrossing On questioning them
as to the topic of conversation:

said.

swered. smiling, and then added, with a
very serious face, you had better ask Mime.
Allan about it,"
This lady, who was one of her rivals on
the stage, was often the object of her jokes.
OF course Augustine Brohan had many
adversaries at the Coincide Franchise.
The unsparing nature of her wit and her
brilliant success as an artistic were sufficient
to give rise to petty quarrels. She used
her power of repartee to rid herself of her
assailants.
On one occasion one of them came to her
and said laughingly, as if she had a joke
to tell:
my dear, let me tell you some stupid
thing to make you laugh"
You have only to open your mouth, !"
said Augustine, with an assumption Of
calm indifference.-Chicago Post.
