rsrr.CIA.1. TKLEGBA1I TO THE DISPATCH.
Sew York, Oct. 18. Matthew Marshal
reviews the financial and speculative situa
tion for to-morrow's Sun, as follows:
The most sensational event of the week
in the financial world has undoubtedly
been the revelation of frauds upon the
Adams Express Company, perpetrated by
its late President. The item involved of
the greatest magnitude is the sale to the
company at an exorbitant price of shares of
stock which the President, aided by the
Vice President and two outside confeder
ates, had purchased for a comparative
trifle, but, in addition, another transaction,
involving the deliberate appropriation by
the culprit to his own use of money belong
ing to the company, has also been discov
ered, and there are well authenticated
stories of a series of other frauds, which, in
the aggregate, amount to a very large sum.
Arguing from the known to the unknown,
there is room for suspecting that a thorough
investigation may bring to light further
facts of a similar character and greatly
swell the sum total of the peculations. The
painful impression produced by these dis
closures was deepened by their coming soon
after the detection of the robbery by the
officers of the Kingston Savings Hank, and
by the not lunch older discoveries of fraud
in the management of the Keystone Bank,
of Philadeijihia.
TAITIILESS TO TRUSTS.
In both these instances men in whom,like
the President of the Adams Express Com
pany, the most implicit confidence was
placed, and who were invested ith the
greatest official authoritv, were found want
ing in integrity and faithless to their trust.
Unlike him, however, they had the grace to
conceal their misdeeds as long and as skill
fullv as possible, whereas he seems not to
have had any sense, of his guilt. Indeed,
it might never have been expotedbutfor his
cynical avowal of it upon the witness stand,
in a suit brought against him bv one of his
confederates, ton am whom he had proved
him'elf as devoid of honety as he had been
toward the corporation of which he was the
head.
Uesides this affair, the week has witnessed
the discoverv of the peculations committed
hylhe confidential clerk of Kennett, Hop
kins & Co., which were effected by merely
commonplace forgeries of indorsements of
cheeks, and bv thefts of certificates of sfck,
ilie whole amounting to a comparatively
small sum.
ANOTHER CASE IK lONDON".
Prom the other side of the Atlantic, too,
we see an announcement of a defalcation in
the Kiver of Platte Bank, of London and
Buenos Avres, which is now asserted to in
volve onlv $33,000 instead of the 51,000,000
reported four days ago. The most impor
tant circunii.tr.nce connected with the rob
bery of Keimctt, Hopkins & Co. is the
apparent relnctance of the firm to face the
music and their delay in acknowledging
their responsibility to their customers for
the acts of their subordinate.
Tile Holland Trust Company also evinces
a mos-t lamentable want, of business honor
in refusing promptly to refund them money
it leceived upon the forged indorsements.
It is very easy, but ontirely useless, to in
dulge in'deuuneiation of crimes like these,
r.nd in lamentation over the degeneracy of
, the age which has made them possible. Por,
while the- may be new in form and may be
tne immediate product of comparatively
modern circumstances, they are as old in
principle as all the thefts and peculations
which have been committed since the be
ginning of the world.
MAX KATURALI.T A SAVAGE.
In the midst of the luxury and refinement
of our civilized society we are too prone to
forget that man is at bottom a savage, and
that he only covers over and represses his
natural savagerv bv a self-control, which
fortunately, with tne vast majority of us
has become habitual, biu with a very con
siderable minority frequently seen still, in
the cunning appropriation of property not
their own.
Just as the savage starts out'in the morn
ing to vin his dinner with his bow and
arrow, or failing these, by the traps and
Mrategcnis. so thousands of civilized men
look upon the good thincs of this world as
their lawful prey, irrespective of their
ownership, and tobe won by any means at
their command.
Unfortunately for them, society long ago
came to the conclusion not to permit this
jnarauding upon private rights, and it re
quites it with imprisonment and other pun
ishment, besides fixing the stigma of its
reprobation upon those who indulge in it.
I5ut the propensity to it is latent in every
one as the germs of small-pox and scarlet
fever lurk in infected clothing, and, like
them, it develops itsel:" whenet er circum
stances are favorable.
BATTI.IJ.-G AGAINST THIEVKRY.
P.eligion, morality and civilization in gen
eral have been for years endeavoring to ex
tirpate it, but they have, as we see, suc
ceeded only in so far repressing it as to
make property and life nearly, but not alto
gether, safe "against depredation and at
tack. "What we most need to do to prevent the
recurrence of breaches of trust like those
which I have mentioned is not to waste our
energies in denouncingand lamenting them,
but seriously to consider how, by strength
ening the forces that repress them, we
maymake their commission more difficult.
Obviously, the punishment dealt out by the
criminal law, insufficient as it is, cannot be
rendered more effectual by additional legis
lation. Nothing but a habit of thinking,
which shall make the crimes to be instinct
ively, as it were, abhorred, will prove
really efficacious in restraining men from
them", and to the strengthening and confirm
ing of this habit we may usefully address
our efforts. And as morality, like charity,
begins at home, so each of us can do his
littie toward the desired result by setting
the example in our own conduct, and in our
treatment of the conduct of those nearest
to us.
MANY EXAMPLES EnrOIiE THEM.
1 do not in the least extenuate the enor
mity of the offense of which the President
and Vice President of the Adams Express
Company and the officers of the other de
pendent cornorations have been guilty, but
I cannot help thinking that if it had not
been for the precedents established by other
men in similar positions of trust, and who
have not yet lost their reputations for
honesty, they might have less easily fallen.
The "President of the Adams Express
Company is convicted of having bought
property at a low price and sold it to his
company at a low price, pocketing for his
own benefit the difference. Por doing this
he has been deposed and expelled, and is
not only sued for the restitution of his ill
gotten gains, but is threatened with crimi
nal prosecution. Yet, all over the country
hundreds of railroad presidents, yice presi
dents, directors end even superintendents
and freight agents have notoriously grown
rich by building brandies and extensions
and selling them at an advance to their own
companies, or leasing them to their com
panies at exhorhitant rentals, and in other
ways diverging the company's money to
their own pockets.
IIODBED TIIEIE nASKS.
The officers of the Keystone Bank and of
the Kingston Savings "Bank have robbed
those institutions by borrowing their funds
and losing them in business or in specula
tions. Yet, every little while it comes cut
that our bank presidents and directors still
in good repute have likewise borrowed
money from their own institutions upon se
curity which would not have been accepted
from anybody else.
They have'not been so unlucky as to lose
it, or have been able to replace it, but their
borrowing it at all was a breach of trust
nevertheless. Thus, too, the defaulting
clerk of Kennett, Hopkins & Co., and of
the Elver Platte Bank differ from thousands
of other men who have been as guilty as
they are, only in being unlucky in the use
they made of the money they took and being
consequently unable to replace it. Had the
whole community been more nearly unan
imous than it is in condemning breaches of
trust, where they result iu loss or inno
loss, those which we are now deploring
might not have been committed.
TIIE ONLY SAFE KULK.
The only safe role for everyone to follow,
both in his own case and in judging of others,
is to sternly reprobate every transaction on
the part of a man holding the office of
trustee for others, which has for its object
his own benefit, at tlicir expense.
I am perfectly aware that in writing these
lines I am setting myself down in the eyes
of some, though I have not many, of my
readers, as a superannuated old fogy, or
something even more worthy of their con
tempt. "Why," they will say. "why
should not a President or a director
of a porporation sell to it what it
wants to buy and make money
bv the sale? "Why should he not
charge it a handsome commission when he
negotiates its securities in the market?
Why has not a bank officer as good a right
as anybody else to borrow money from the
bank?" Probably they will refrain from
going on and asking why a clerk or cashier
should not be allowed to take money from
his employer's drawer to gamble in stocks
or to bet on horse races.
But drawing the line where they do is
purely arbitrary. My doctrine is that a
person in an office of trust cannot rightfully
deal for his own benefit with the property
intrusted to him in any way, shape or man
ner.and that he should be deterred from do
ing it by the general condemnation of the
community. On this I take my stand.

The Alliance Will nave a Monopoly of the
Trade of the State.
CO-OPERATIVE STORES WILL BE OPENED
rsPKCIAI. TELEGRAM TO TOE PISPATCD.1
TorEKA, Kax., Oct. la "When the an
nual State convention of the Farmers'
Alliance meets in Saiina Tuesday the vari
ous interests which it is proposed to com
bine under one business management will
have a bitter fight for the offices. The co
operative system inaugurated by the Alli
ance commercial convention, held in this
city last August, gave the public the first
intimation of what it was proposed to at
tempt, and since that time the different
organizations have been industriously at
work in order to protect their interests
through membership in the executive com
mittee. It will be necessary, in order to conduct
the business of the Alliance, to completely
reorganize. If the scheme as it has been
outlined is carried out it will give the
Alliance a complete monopoly of all the
business in this State. The committees
appointed at the commercial convention
have held frequent consultations and wil
submit their reports for adoption. Prank
McGrath, the Alliance President, and the
Executive Committee have indorsed the
project and have assisted in drafting tl e
articles of association, which it will be
necessary to file in order to get the business
machinery in working order.
THE PLAN AS PROPOSED.
The idea of associating all branches of
trade originated with Fred Bailey, of
Wichita, who had the call for the commer
cial convention signed by President Mc
Grath, the Executive Committee of the Al
liance, Senator Peffer and all of the Al
liance Congressmen before it was submitted
to any of the sub-Alliances. The plan is to
absorb the Alliance Business Exchange,
which did 53,000,000 worth of business in
this State last year, and make its secretary,
who has proved himself a good business
manager, general manager of all the Al
liance business. He will be subject to the
Alliance Executive Committee, of which
the President of the Alliance is ex-officio
chairman.
The management of the Farmers' Insur
ance Company, now vested in a board of
directors, will be transferred to the-Execu-tive
Committee, and the "United Protec
tive Association," an organization which
has for its object the fighting of mortgage
foreclosures, will also be governed by the
committee. G. "W. Sandusky, the secretary
of the Alliance Business Exchange, who
is to be general manager of the organiza
tion yet to be named, will be authorized to
establish co-operative stores all oyer the
State, and appoint local managers for them.
All purchases will be made by him and dis
tributed from the Alliance warehouses in
Kansas City.
CONTROLLING THE CROPS.
In nearly every crossroads shipping point
in the State now there are Alliance ele
vators, with a capacity of 5,000 bushels
each. Although small affairs, they are
numerous enough to hold more than half of
this year's crop, and have been stored subject
to the orders of the manager of the proposed
co-operative system to sell. The Alliance
Executive Committee will also submit a
plan, which originated with President Mc
Grath, for assisting needy farmers to meet
the payments on their mortgages.
ifelore tne business trust can be operated
it win be necessary lor tne Alliance as an
organization to establish its credit. It is
JIcGrath's idea that this can be done only
through assistance of the private individ
uals in the Alliance who are willing to float
their credit.
The constitution and articles of incor
poration do not vest a sufficient authority
in the Executive Committee for them to ac
complish all the work outlined, although it
provides for co-operative stores, and it will
oe necessary to form auxiliary associations.
The plan is being fought by the Alliance
leaders in the State who oppose the sub
Treasury idea. They are, however, in a
minority.
SUB-TREASURY SCHEME FAVORED.
More than four-fifths of the sub-Alliances
which have voted on the sub-Treasury
proposition have declared in favor of it,
and there is no doubt of its indorsement.
President McGrath, although opposed to
the sub-Treasury, is an enthusiastic advo
cate of the business trust, but he is the only
prominent exception.
"West of the sixth principal meridian, in
cluding the western half of the State, the
Alliance has 75 per cent of the farming
population in its membership. In this dis
trict the Alliance and the People's party
are synonymous. In many of the older
settled counties, however, the sub-Alliances
have never made a political fight, and this
year there has been a concerted movement
among them to keep the Alliance business
and political organizations separate and dis
tinct President McGrath, in an interview just
before bis departure for Saiina, admitted
that the continued buccess of the Alliance
depended upon the action of the conventiou.
The business interests are so diversified and
have become so complicated through poli
tics, that it must result in the separation of
the sub-Treasury opponents and non-political
alliances from the organization unles3
a compromise is effected.
