The Gazette has the largest clr-

' The Treasury and Wall Street.
The bankers of New York, says the
Philadelphia Times, are represented
as “deeply concerned” and even “111-,
dignant,” because Mr. Carlisle has not
. gone over to New York to consult
them, as former Secretaries were in
the habit of doing, but remains in
, Washington attending to his business.
They say that if he does anything with-
out asking their advice -“they will not
be responsible.” As it is not they put
the Secretary who is officially charged
with the responsibility before the
country, this threat seems a little im-
pertinent; and if the New York bank-
ers are no better informed than most
of those who have been giving their
opiniOns lately, their advice would not
be very valuable. ’
Mr. Carlisle has done a wise thing in
separating the Treasury Department
from the. exclusive association of Wall
street. Bankers are probably as intel-
ligentand as patriotic as the average of
men, but they are only human after all,
and their horizon is oftenlimited by
their immediate interests. Mr. Car-
lisle knows too much himself to make
the mistake of supposing that he knows
it alliand does not need to consult any-
body ; but the is quite right in recogniz-
ing the fact that Wall street is not the
whole country, and also that it. is no
part ofhis official duty to meddle in
, the market.
It looks a little as though there were
just now a concerted movement in
Wall street to coerce the policy of the
Secretary and compel him to issue
bonds upon which bankers and brokers
could make a profit. ,The statement of
the Secretary, which is printed this
morning, shows that he. understands
the situation at least, as well. as his.
critics and is not likely to 'be driven
against-his judgment. It is not impos-'
sible that he may fail in his difficult
task of maintaining gold payments
against the flood- of silver, but if he
fail through the fault of those who
ought to aid him, their present dis-
avowal 0f responsibilty will not avail.

More Smoke than Fire.
The fire department responded to an
alarm of fire at 10:30 o’clock this morn-
ing from box 32 attne corner 'of West
avenue and Merwin street. ~ The fire,’
which was confined to a closet in'the
basement of the house No. 4, Merwin
street, and occupied by Hamilton Craw,
was extin ished with a few pails of
water by ichael Drew and Washing-
ton Merritt before the arrival of the
firemen. The origin of the fire was ex-
plained by Mr. Craw who said, “I put
some wOod in the stove oven to dry
and it became ignited. I put the' fire
out as I supposed and threw the cinders
into the closet. There must have been
. a. spark or two left and it set fire to
some combustibles in _ the closet. I
guess there was more smoke'than fire
though.” The damage done was slight
but had the fire occurred in the night
it is quite likely that the damage would
have been quite large. ‘

Amusements.
OPERA HOUSE. .
.An Irish play without landlords, sol.—
d‘iers and brass buttons, is a novelty.
‘ Nora Machree” which was presented
at the Opera House last night by the
association; incorporating the Milford“ Sidney R- Ellis company with Clara
Coleman in the title role, can claim the
distinction of-being free from all con-
ventional characteristics which usuall
mark plays pertaining to- Ireland?
‘Nora. Machree" is a comedy-drama
and a good one. It shows the Irish
peasantry in a true light. It is whole-
591119,. refined and is full of exciting
Situations and laughable complications,
repartee and characteristic Irish wit.’
It was deserving of a, much larger
house than it was greeted with.
