THE DEFAUL TED BOND
ALLOTMENT

A lot Of mendscious Republican or
gsns and some alleged Democratic
journals have been discrediting the
good faith of Secretary Carlisle in the
matter Of the disposal by him of GER
tain lot-amounting to $4,000, 000-of
the new bonds to the Morgan syndi-
cate. The facts OF this transaction
have been distorted and lied about in
a manner that demonstrates the pos
session of high order of ability
in the arts OF prevaricstion
and perversion by the secretary's
detractors. The long and strictly
honorable public career of John G.
Carlisle, accompanied as it has been by
comparative poverty, should afford
ample guarantee against the suspicion,
actual or protested, that he would in
any manner betray any trust reposed
in him, and should deter even the pro-
fessional slanderers and vilifiers of a
partisan or prejudiced press from as
sailing the integrity Of his actions.
The Morgan syndicate obtained the
block of bonds adverted to because,
under the bids received, it was entitled
to the same. 1t will be recalled that
when the bids were opened and listed
it was found that the figure bid by the
Morgan syndicate would take about
one-third of the issue. The syndicate
offered to take all or any part of the
issue at the price it bid. but there were
apparently enough higher bids to take
about two-thirds Of the issue, leaving,
as has been stated, approximately one
third for the syndicate. Among the
higher bids WAS one from New
York Spectator offering to take ST.
100000 Of the bonds at little over
115. He bid for this amount in his
own name and Associates" When
the time came to take this allotment
he failed to do SO, being unable to car
ry out the arrangements he had previ-
ously made for disposing of the bonds
in smaller allorments. In other
words, his associates" failed to
come to time and help him
out. As might be expected, the
defsulted allotment was declared for
feited and the amount went to the syn
dictate as the next highest bidder and
under its arrangement to take any part
of the issue at the figure proffered.
The secretary of the treasury discrim-
mated neither for nor against the syn
dictate in the matter.

The part of the program in most direct
touch with the work of the society was the
reading of two letters recently received,
one from DR.. Gertrude Taft, who left Los
Angeles last October for Chinkiang, China,
under the auspices of the First NJ. E.
church. and the other from Miss Mary
Reed. who has been worker for four years
in an asylum for lepers in northern India.
DR.. Taft gave very pleasing account of
her Introduction to the Chinese climate,
her initiation in the language and her first
experiences in medical work. An item
from Miss Reeds letter that was received
with much qualification was the statement
that the faint of leprosy received by her

Foochow over eleven years, was present at
the meeting and assisted in carrying out

Presidents and Humor.

Washington was the gravest man of the whole nation The tradition of him is that he was never known to laugh and seldom seen to smile. Boston Herald.
 If there is such tradition in Boston, it is at variance with lots of history, and alsowith "reminiscences which men who knew George Washington left behind them. The Father of His Country was not devoid of humor, and there were oo- casions when he indulgad ill fun. The Boston Herald describes him as gravity embodied, description which IS in complete, and which can not be applied to all the hours of his life. He was among the noblest of mankind, and he had good share of yirtuous enjoyment
 In running down the line of presidents from Washington to his more recent sue cessors. the Boston Herald says:
 Andrew Johnson could not recognize humor when he saw it. y
 We need only remark that our Boston contemporary could not have been ae- quaiBted with the North Carolina and Tennessee tailor who became president of the United States.
 The Boston Herald remarks further that President Garfield was man who had no taste for fun. " It is certain that our Boston contemporary never spent day, passed all evening or held a dialogue with General James A. Gar field. New York Sun.

LARGEST DAILY CITY CIRCULATION,
 4RMENTA

From the discussions Tn Congress Monday on the Senate Armenian resolutions appealing to the Powers signatory to the Treaty of Berlin to enforce the reforms in Turkey guar anteed by that treaty to the Chris tian Armenians, it is manifest that there is disposition in this country to intermeddle ir the affairs of Europe. It was not eontended that any wrong or outrage had been com mitted upon an American citizen in Armenia, but it was urged that purely in behalf of Christianity and civilization" the United States should take upon itself the responsi- bility of correcting the wrongs there-a responsibility solely resting upon the Christian powers in Flu rope signatory to the Treaty of Berlin. It will be remembered that Jefferson especially urged upon his countrymen to keep out of entang- ling alliances with foreign nations, and especially not to intermeddle with European affairs or allow any European intermeddling with affairs of our own. But according to the logic of the modern iingos, the United States should undertake to right the wrongs of the world, and force foreign nations to bow to our bayonets and cannens for sym pathy's sweet sake alone. Carrying the logic of these gentlemen further, the United States should send her gunboats to Constantinople and force the compliance of the Porte to the provisions of a treaty to which this government is not party; should wrest Ireland from England, and either annex the Island or de- clare it an independent republic; should force the freedom of Cuba from Spain, and declare protector ate over all South Armerican coun- tries and islands contiguous to this hemisphere. This country must not be content with holding the torch of liberty aloft and offering an asylum for the oppressed of all the world, but Don Quixote like, we should send our fleets and ironclads about to force the concession of every grievance and wrong. real or imagi- nary, that may transpire under the burning sun.
 How ridiculous, all of this?
 Ofcourse this nation sympathizes with the Christian Armenians; so do We sympathize with the Cubans, the Irish and the oppressed of Poland. But if the United States government were to undertake to right all the wrongs of the world, how long would this government endure? If we have offered a home of liberty and free dom of conscience to all, haven't we done quite enough? And if we were to intermeddle in the affairs of the old world, how long would it be be- fore this nation, too, would feel the mailed foot of some foreign oppres- sor and this proud nation parceled out and converted into European colonies and dependencies. Indeed, the United States will have quite enough to do to attend to it's own affairs and keep Europe on standing notice that it must keep hands of of the American hemisphere.

Rome's Attempts to Be Modern.

The tendency ill Rome has of late been toward the artificial, and it is refresh ment to como upon some untouched DOT tion of what is good as we'll as pic turesque. The attempt to produce a modern capital at all hazards and costs has told upon the population as we'll as upon the city itself. For at great centers the first result of modern civilization is vice, and the next is degeneracy It is really quite useless to ignore the fact in print, when it is perfectly apparent to every man in his senses. Italy is no worse than other countries, but neither is she an exception to the general rule, and since the most necessary institutions of civilization are prisons and hospitals, it is to Italy's credit that she should have spent as much as she has upon them in tho midst of so much utterly senseless extravaganza in other direc- lions.

Most Dangerous

Most Dangerous Reef on English Coast.
 The Manaeles rocks, situated about midway between Falmouth Roadsted and the Lizard point, are considered the most dangerous point on our English coast. These rocks cover considerable space and extend seaward about three miles from the coast. At low water their bold and sharp spnrs, jutting out of the sea, are to be seen stretching right across the natural direction for ship to take in making for Falmouth. Thor oughly to appreciate the danger for yes sels here, one has only to take up a DO sition on bold headland overlooking this wide expanse of sea, when these rocks can be seen at low water covering an immense tract of ground, over which vessels are continually passing up and down at high water.
 Every winter, and sometimes in the summer months, fearful wrecks take place on these rocks, attended with con- siderable loss of life. These disasters take place at night, when it is probable that the men in charge of ship are un- certain of their position. There is a large bell placed between two and three miles out at sea to warn vessels of dan ger. But during 8 stormy and windy night it must surely be most difficult to catch the sound of this bell. particular ly so if the wind carries the sound away from the ship passing these rocks.
