WALL STREET A0X0ST1C8
The West k right and Wall Street is wronp
about one thinp. At this preat flnancial contie
there is not enough of that grand faith ln the
growth, prospcrity and de-tiny of this country
which makes Western men of Intelligenoe and
practical knowledge so darinp 1n enterpriso.
Wall Street does not understand that this Na?
tion has achieved lta indepondenee. The Street
has too many men who are strangers and so
Journors in Ameriea who have not got over
worshippinp forelf-n ideas and instltntions. who
have never taken a square look at the country
with its millions of square miles and its moun?
tains of ore, who deepise American ourrency and
dotest an Amoric-iui tariff. AU thoir notions of
the tariff are imported duty free from 1-ris or
Beilin. and the ideas of the proper policy for
the Treasury are about larpe enough te rattlo
around in Lombard Street. I_rpor men thore
are, to be eure, who "know and love Amerioa.
But Wall Street oplnion Is likely to be dis
torted by the multitude who vislt New-York
for business as a man etops at a hotel.
For instance, Wall Street had a eold ahiver
when pold exporis began in Februaiy, and an?
other when st-ocks began to retnrn, and another
when Rusfiia and the Rothschilds wanted more
gold. But Western business men havo pono
ahead with their buying and their manufactur
ing, in firm faith that tho next good crop Would
oount for more than all the gold Europe could
tako away. How many Wall Street men be
lieved in March that S70.0 00.000 pold could
po out of the country before July 1 without a
panic or a drop of 1 per cent in stooks? It is
a larpe country, this, and h;_s agiormous rcservc
power, and the men who comprehend it host
are those who realize how much it has done
and is now doinp to achieve. not fiiianeial and
industiial indopondence, which Protecti.m has
already given, but financial aud itidustrial su
piemaoy. Europe will havo to send hither for
hrend, meat, oil and cotton this year and every
year. The Old World ran |og alnng oomfort
;ibly with its sma!' yoarly pain In population
and wealth, whon ovorvihinp goes well. bnt let
a lad season come, as in 1879 and 1*80. and
siiddonly Europe has to sond this country a
hundred millions of gold in a year, and then
two milliorj, sturdy workors in throo yoars in
ordor to rolieve its d-'pre-sod industrio.s, and
rhon niic.iiintod millions df eapital evory yoar
theieaftor, beeause more foroipn investois have
discoverod whoro thir<:s prow fast. and money
also. Each sons'n nf s"f>ark for Europo-an
finances and Indnstriea increnaos tlio dopendonco
of the rcst ot' tho world upon Amer.Va. Eack
new railroad thati Ameri.a buflds, enoh new
mine qiened, each now wr.nder of a city that
gpringg np. calls hithor nmro <-,f Europecn en
eipy, Industry and eapital. The tariff enacted
!a.a-t yoar hns pjurkod ur> by the rnots pront io
du. trial worka already and transportod them to
Ameriea. Its rooo.-d of rictoriea ls hardly be
pun as yet, bnt Rraril and Anstria, Spain. Cuba
and tireai Britain feel Iti Inflaenoe.
" What is tho matter with Wall Stroot now0'"
aaked a shrewd and .uoeossFul hiisino=a: man :
" I ani doinp more 1 -usiness than evor boforo in
my lifo, bnt tho bij_ whoat crop out Wc*t will
oxpand it for mo, I don't know how much."
La?t year it was tho South that marketod the
greatest ootton crop evor prown by a million
balea, and \ot the same yoar the iron minos
and works turned out for the firat time more
iron than (!ieat Britain evoi* produoed. Tho
indnstii-s do nol all Bpring rorward at once, but
they nll tiko their tnvn, as Mr. Gladstone s-'iil.
advancinr with great letpe and Imunds, and
they ne~_r lose in rabaeqoeni doprossion all
the.'r lato.-t jmi'iis. Is Wall Street afraid that
Europe will have no moro money to [nresi in
such a country ?

Pnrlianjent ii more eneonrnjjinK than thc pros

beea Bnpported by the KBtttttaeadea. Mr.

BeiwKinsiioid la i*?o, Lord S?Habnrj ia Is**"..
and Mr. Uladxtone la 1886, arere riefeated
when as I'rinie MinistetB thoy BBpeaied to the
country. Tho OppOBlMoB in aaeh inxtanea wis
BiBxeesfal. Aeoor?Ib| to this rnle, to whirh
there have boon no recent exeoptions, Mr. Glad
stone has stronp groiind for eonlidenee in the
resnlt of the next general eleotions. Rut even
if ho wi-8, tho battle for Home Rule will have
to bo fooght in the Commons under most nn
bvorable eindition*.
Let it be conceded that Mr. Ol.idstone wi]
cany the eOB8-1?BBCiOB with him, as every
leader of the OppoaitiOB 'ha* done for a long
poiiod- and it does not l.y any BXtane folltra
that a Homo-Hnle bill will be passed. If tlie
Lil?eral.s are BOOTX?ef&] they will be pledgcd t..
the policy of BCtt-Bg the Home-Rule qnc^tjon
in snch a way as to satjsfy the Irish n.ombers.
When those uiemhers weie nnitod there was a
stioiig probability lhat Ihifl resnlt oould bo ac
coiuplishod ; bmI BOW thut there aro two ta, -
tions and ii" lebdenhlfi whieh is rejecfaiaed ae
anthoritative the dUBenltiea in Mr. Uladxtone'i
way ate mnlnjilii'tl. He may have siifficioni
power ovi'i the conatiniexidea t<. obtaia tbefi
sanition ,.f the general priaoiple oi Home Bnle i
but bow unicii greater will be the deaaada rrpnu
his it'siiiiic- ,1 palience, tact, pofttioal ?tmim
and 00?Btructivo slutc.*tiiuii*hip when tlie d
i.n'- of tho uioasure are to be uriai.tfed nader a
iiiniiine ?88 of Irish triticisui! If be wero ten
years younger he might rcason-ably bope to
triumph over any and every obstacle: but vet
eran as he is. with physieal resmiroes abatinjr
and ihe voioa which all Enplishmen have lovod
lo hear now seriously impairod, ho must look
forward with keen apprehension to the responsi
bilities and harasMnp labors which suoces. in
tho election* will incvitably involve. Mr. Par
nell eloeted to the next House either with a
minority or a majority faetion behind him can?
not be his ally. The Iriah party will neces
aaTily be rent with feuds and dlssen?ions, and
the elaboration of a Home-Rnlo bill which will
be penerally accepted by the island will be
bcset with difRculty at. every turn.
The magnitude of the di*-a*ter which ha*
overwbelmed the Irish cause will bo more ap?
parent anofheu- y*ar than It is now. With a
majority of the mombers supporting the Enc
lish leader and antaconi-.ing Mr. l'arnell, the
effect of the divoroe scandal has been touipo
rarily cottnteraoted in by-clections. When the
general elections ccur the Irinh party will be
revealed as a house dividcd opainst itself, and
the Enplish people will be asked to sanotion
tbe establishmont of a Dublln Parliament when
there is a moral certainty of iiroconoilable fae?
tion warfai. in tho island. The appeal will
loso much of its force under suoh ciroiimstanov-s;
and even if tho Liberals be strong enouph lo
restore Mr. Gladstono to powr*r, they cannot
hope to be independent of eithor of the Irish
proupa. The enaotment of a Ho-ne-Rtile hill
that is anprily oontested In its passape by Mr.
Parnell wil! he the most ex__por.iting task ever
iindertakon by an English _tetos_____. It is
work which may bo expected to woar out the
r-*mnant of Mr. ("ladstone's physieal pnduiance:
and if he dies with the projo.-tod srh'-nio <.f

A PROFI) VIXDICATWX.
The community will hear wlth emotion the
annoiinccinent that De Laey, Roboit E., late
City Father, has abandoned his claim for
if l.r.OO. That modest sum is the salary ho for
feited for the privilepo of obsenting himself
from tho State durinp the nine months between
April 1 and December 31, 1884. We believe
that hw first lntention aftor tho indictmant had
been dismissed was to claim intorest in fnll to
date; but boing a sensitive man no doubt he
felt the foroo of the siiRpostion that the period
nf his absonce was tho preeL-e period of his
.-areer wben his preseruo was most ardently de
sired by the city. Mindful of this considcra
tion ho resolved to tako no more than tho Laro
piineipal, but bciiiu a just as woll as a deHcnte
person, he recognized tho impropriety ol l'-av
iiiR hiin-.elf entirely out in tho cold. and, inore
r.vor, lie was avoiso to getting a dangerona ex
aniplo. Tho eSSCt amount of 80 A!dorman"s
salary for thrce-ijiiai.ors of 8 yoar geemed to
him. therefore, the leaet that a conBdentiom
man could demand and tlio most that a man
of sensibility could aocept,
But without warninp and apparently withont
premeditation, jusr as he araa on the point of
substantiatinc tho Justi.-o of his claim before an
intolligent ar.d ImpartLal geeistnnt to the Cor
poration Cotmaei, and oxoti after ho had ed
dressed a ba'f-jocnlar, h-Jf-impcrioiu remark to
that ofBeial, be gnddenly leemed to Snd him?
self loss at home than he had antioipnted. There
were Beveral Individuais in the room wluy-e ap
pearanog waa sinister and forbidding in his
eyes. IIo gnnniaed that thoy mighl bo reporten
for .m nafeeling preea. and the dectaration that
thoy were for tho must part moioly harmless
attendent. <>f the offlce did not reassnre him.
" I have ooneilldcd to abandon this e.laim,'' he
.aid, adding to that nnexpected announcemont
the self-depredatory aaaertion thnt he would
never havo demanded tho nmnf-y if othors had
n i* advdaed him to do so. Then, with a nol.ilit.v
of feelin? nnd domeanor which cannot be too
hiphly ralned in a doponerato cimniorci.il age,
he aald : " I only came here to show that I
have nerve nml prove thaf I am BO onwaid."
Tho glmple m ije* y oi that declaration is be
y.i.i'l all praise, We think K wni onneceaeary,
bnl thai is another oonaidermtion. We do not
know what argnmenta can have prevailed ov-r
his innatojove of justiee, but wo do not keep
his oonsdenoe. Tho palpable and rablime fact
remains that on his own Bcknowledgment De
Lacy is no oward. It is worth while to have
anrvived a lonp and deaolate exile in foreign
perto, to havo become footsore and weary in
elnding tho polico, and p-rhaps to have been
even gutpected of a craven and pusillanimous
spii-it in ordor to gain at last this hour of tti
umph. We obaerre ihat he spurns tho baso
anggaat-OB tliat he should sipn a release. It
mu Sir Wiiiiam Gorrlon Onmminp's promlso
never to play eards apain arhich ooovicted hitn
of dishonor, and it would r.? a fatal bl under for
De Lacy to impupn tho famous Aldormanlo
rintnge of is.<(4 by puttinp himself nnder bondi
not to suo for his salary if at somo futuro time
lironmetaaeea should dietato that course. If ho
ia ?jratf'd with proper eourtesy and o. risHeni
tion he will foihear, but he will not be diivon
into 8 corner.

There is in this city a young man named Dod
Ujn. Mr. Dodkin ls an in-ronious yminc man, much
gtrea to B-fl-aolcal and clcctrical exxflX-fleata.
lie hns a furr.ished room in Flfty seventh-st. It
is a roar room ..vorlookin*; a large number of
aniall. vrrtlcal plitenn-holes known ln this me.
tn.polis as back yards. Nnturally. if there are
any cats ln the neighborhood, Mr. Dodkin hcars
them. And lately, owing to the fact thnt a num?
ber of ?cnben of the Soeiety for tho Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals living near by have clo.sed
BB Ihe?' housos for the summer and turned thelr
cats adrift on thc world, Mr. Dodktn has been
more than usually favnred with feline vocal efforts.
Eaeh night Mr. Dodkln has risen aevcial times,
tbrust his head out of his window and cried
"SOBtl" in a lotid volce, accompanylng the re
mnrk with x hairhruah. book, hund-mirror. or
other ohjecf'. Mr. Dodkin soon determined that
sotnetlilng must be done, and aocordingly, for the
spae.e of one week, he devoted his energle* of
mind nnd body to the constrnction of an applianoe
for riddlug the neighborhood of cats.
rfataralbr, when he first begfin a conslderation
of the problem, puison, sprinsgtins, stocl traps
and otlier Ihrco modea of deetractlfla suggested
iheinselvcs to liim, but lie rcsolntely rejected tliem.
WlTitt he diil do, however, was to get a large
phonograph, with the apparatm attaebed to it f"r
greatly increasing the 6'Tund, called by an ex.
eeediriffl* dllBOBh .Ireek name wbleh for the mo
ment escipes us, but whieh will no doubt readily
uecnr to the reader. This "honogiaph with tlie
fogbOTfl speaking-triinipet uttiiehment lio placeil
in a b"X with tii..- nor/le cxN-ii'ling out of one
hide. ln the box he also put a powerful ateel
bpring with an arm about two feet
leng reaching out of the top?this part
araa, in fact, inlendcd to work much
the eame ns the trap used by sportsmen to throw
glaag bal?, thongh it was nrranged to throw
dewuward rethei than upward. This box Mr.
Dodkla set Jl at outside of hls window on the
alll, after l-aiii.g Btadfl approprlate remarks into
thfl phonograph. The whole was connected with
and aperatcd bjf B B-Bflg electrie battery. The
i:r?.: night nfter tlio apparatofl wns eompleted
Mr. Doilkln retlre.l at ahout eleven o'clock, first
hxvinff turr;e,| a levcr wbleh starte., hls invention.
In Bfteea mlnutes lie wns asleep. Cats were
already gathering on the back fences. Ten mln?
utes later they began their tisual unearthly 00?
.vrr. It hnd scarcely startod when the air of
ihe back yards was ahxkefl ns by a mighty explosion
und the ingenioiis yoang Mr. DodktBX phono?
graph Bttered "Scat:" la a voiee whieh rattled
the Beigbboriog wiad>rwa. At the same tlme
tliTo vtns a erash ns a heavy OBBt-iron halr-bTuah
stmelc the b.-ielt fence and brf.ke one of tlie
bonrds. Tlie trap hnd sprung sitniilriineoiisly
with the phoBOgraph. The cats dlsappeared with
their tnlls very large ami ihe fnr on
their baeks stnmling up very straieht.
Every len mlnutes during the night the Dodfciu
? at Eradlextor "went off" in the sarne stentorinn
voiee and with the same 8H?h of Iumber, the
cn.st-iron h-iirbnish being attaebed to a cord by
wbleh it was drawa back eaoh time. We neeil
Boareely aay tbat lt, prodneed a great BeaaatloB
in rhe neighborhood. People stay.-d nwake all
Dlght, some in fear nnd others marvelling at a
iirtn with sueh a Imid voiee and sueh a powerful
arm, tbey not rightly understanding the cause
of the phenomena taking plaee in tbe back yard.
Stil], it ls altocrother llkely tliat the machino
would have become popular in tho neighborhood liad
BOt, at nbottt flve o'clock in the morning, gonie
thitig liecome wrong with the trap, so that the
enst-iron hair-brnsh shot straiuTit aeross the yards,
bre?king tho cord and crashing in a window
uppoflite nnd throucrh a door, severely injuring
two young ladles and floing much damage. Mr.
Dodklfl alepl well nnd in tho morning wns much
pleaaed with his invention, but tho owner of tlie
Booea whlch was bombarded araa greatly exeite,)

It ia di'sconraging to be inforaed that the

The punishment for illeg-lly pract-iing law ls
Iight, and the pretended attoruey who has prao
tlscd iu the courts for a number of yeara without
having been adraittcd to the bar will probably
not receive even tlie highest penalty whioh tho
law allows. He defended the oriminals who in
trusted their intereste to him with moro akill and
care than many regularly admitted lawyors. The
fact that he appeared for several years before tbe
courts of this State, including the Court of Ap
peals, shows that there Ls a lax supervision of
the eaandtng of those who act an lawyera. The
Jlar Associiitlon. or some other body ahould eee
ihat none are allowed to practise who have not
had a tbormigh legal eduoatlon, and to this end
it would lie better for the professJon if the rc
quirements for admlseion were higher and the
cxaminntion aa to character atrlcter than under
the present rules.
In what are known aa the "good old days"
pastorates of half a century or more were no
extraordinary thiug. Now ona extendinj. over
lialf that time is a marked exceptlon to the
b-eueral rule. So when a minister hu had a
'?aettlement" of forty-five yeara, aa haa been the
case with the Rev. Amaea 8. Freeman, of the
Central Prrebyterian Church ln Haverstraw, the
celebration of the anniversary ls an occurrence
oi more than local importance. It apeaks vol
umes for the faitlifulneas and sihcerity of the
minister and the loyalty and devotion of his
flock. Which is the more to be congratulated
is uot casy ta determlne.

Our Democratio friends in the last Congress
showed how easy it was for them to hreak a

shle its precincts when a roll-call was about be

there ha* been an imnrovement unon. or at least
a moditication of, this idea. On Sunday, when
things grew decidedly dis.irderly and the pre
siding ofllcer had exhanated his resoiirces in the
attempt to restore" i/rder, he put on his hat and
walked out. The parugraph containing the ao

Tlie Shipping Federation, whieh is composetl of
ull the great ghipowners of Oreat Britain, and
whlch was ortrnnlzed for the purpose of restrainlng
the despotism of the labor unions, has just in
atigurate'l a great 6chei_e of lnsuranec whieh can?
not fail to es-mbliah more friendly jelations
between masters ami men. Tlie outlincs of the
scheme are as follows: Every seaman or
tin-man who takes out a Pederation ticket will
l>e entitled free of all c*st to an insurancc of ?1 !">
in case he should I* killed or lost at sea while
serving on a Federntion ship. The only cost
charged to the men will be a reglstratlon fee of
2 j cents. In the case of the captains and ofTleers
the ineiirance on the eame condltions will be $.".00
and $2.r>0, nccording to their rank. This scheme
obviously gives the Federation a heavy pecuniary
interest iu the safety of their seamen. Tbe
insurancc money to be paid will be a direct charue
npon the fmids of the Federation, and calls will
he made upon tlie shipowning members thereof
from time to time as circumstancex may req.iire.
The scheme is not only most human and liberal,
but also exceedingly politlo, and deserves to be
tried on this side of the water.
