the Legislature OF 1898, S1s,29S,44S. In
crease In the sum total Of appropriations for
1898 over 1892. S3,934,354 This is an in
teresting and suggestive exhibit and one to
which the attention of the taxpayers cannot
too frequently be drawn between now and No
vember's Election Day. For a party whose
representatives cannot be trusted to handle the
peoples money obviously has no Just claim
upon the peoples votes
A letter from our Albany correspondent
which was published yesterday presents some Of
the salient details of the appropriations Very
likely to Tammany, which ran the Legislature
of 1898, the figures in question do not seem
big But Tammany's conception of what ex-
travagance is. extravaganza at the public ex-
pense, differs radically from the conception of
the average taxpayer The letter is also
worthy of attention because of the sidclights
which it throws upon Governor Flowers prac-

THE VHOLESOMENESS or TIE TRUTH

In such times as business men have wit
messed of late there are always some who
would like to have pleasant things said and
printed, regardless of the future or the facts
But there is never any use in cultivatng false
confidence. When the Reading directors made
a glowing report, only few weeks before the
concern went into bankruptcy, they did not
help things at all, but only dcluded and de-
flauded the individuals who were caught with
securities when the smash came. When the
Whiskcy Trust put out most glowing and gor-
geous statements of its prosperity at the very
time insiders were selling. it did not prevent
the disaster but only enabled some individuals
to defraud others. When the Cordagc Com
pany recitcd its enormous earnings and profits
in print day by day it did not prevent the ap-
pOintment of receiver. SO with regard 10
the general condition OF business nothing can
be gained by telling the public untruihs
1t is pleasant for every sensible and solvent
business man. and necessarily for every such
newspaper, to take as cheerful a view of things
as the facts will permit. To all it would be
exceedingly gratifying to know that every
cause of disturbance and depression had been
removed, and that the natural progress of the
country and the wonderful recuporative power
of the people would henceforth be unchecked.
But if that is not the truth. no good can be
done by saying so. Harm can be DONE and
great deal of it, by encouraging men to extend
their enterprises or their ventures when there
is reason for the utmost caution. The wrecker
who hangs out false lights to lure ships on the
rocks is morally on level with him who pre-
diets financial fair weather and safety for the
barks that put to sea, when there is a great
storm in sight 10 be an alarmist or pessimist

All true Americans will take pleasure in the
fact that the good offices OF our Government
have been successfully employed in preventing
threatened conflict between Japan and Corea.
The trouble grew out of an embargo placed by
Corea on the expectation of beans and pulse in
consequence of which number of japanese
merchants, their supplies being thus cut off,
suffered severely. Largely through the efforts
of the United States the principle of arbitra-
ton was resorted to, and a compromise has
been reached whereby Corea pays Japan an
indemnity of $4,000. This triumph of ar
bitration is all the more satisfactory because
of its acceptance by nations that nave only
recently begun to keep step with modern
progress.

Some steps were taken yesterday by special
commission appointed by act of the Legislature
in 1888 toward protecting New-York and its
environs from an invasion of cholera. So far
as we are aware, the commission, which con-
sists of a number of State and city officials, has
done nothing whatever heretofore but when
an appropriation of $4,000 was placed at
its disposal by tho late Legislature it was
galvanized into activity with little delay. The
magic power of an appropriation was never
more clearly shown. Just how much effect
the commissions labors will have cannot be
foreseen; but it is safe to >predict that the
Sl75, 900 will be used to the last cent in fight
ing cholera, either actual or potential.

The Grand Jury has made a timely and
needed utterance on the evils of circulating
false reports regarding the condition of bust
ness houses in times of financial stress. No in
dictments were found, but the Grand Jury is
of the opinion that recent incident of this
kind should be made the occasion of more
stringent legislation, and that the originators
of uzfounded rumors ought to be subject to
severe punishment. There will be no dissent
from this view in the minds of intelligent men.
The jurys presentment will no doubt serve as
. sufficient warning for the present, but the
question of strioter laws on this subject may
properly demand careful consideration from our
Legislators.
Two reports on the Briggs case were made
yesterday to the Presbyterian Assembly by the
judicial Committee. They agree on the main
point that the appeal is in order; after that
the difference appears to be that the minority
wish tho Assembly to determine what course
il shall take, while the majority prescribe that
the case shall proceed to trial forthwith. 1t is
difficult to see how the adoption of one report
rather than tho other will make the slightest
difference in the ultimate result. The general
public, at any rate. can perceive little in a
technical distinction. of this kind. What seems
clear is that DR.. Briggs is to be tried for
heresy by the highest body in the Presbyterian
Church and from the decision of that body
there can. of course. be no appeal.
