YThe appalling suicide of William
W. Bancroft, in San Francisco,
which appeared in the Sunday te]e-
grams, has shocked more than one
of his friends here and in Portland,
where he was we'll known. Scarcely
thirty-tive years of age and'possessed
of more than one mans share of
physical beauty, he has gone to the
grave by his own hand at a time
when he should have been making
a name and fame among his fellow
men. We first knew him at Port
land, seven years ago, and he was
just about entering upon the prac-
tice of the law. We went out on
the 0. & G. railroad; were gone
from Portland nearly year, and
returned to find Bancroft gone.
Two years later we met him in San
Francisco, where he had established
a tobacco agency, and had just been
united in wedlock to an estimable
young lady. What induced the
fatal step, God alone knows. If
there had been anything sordid Or
mean in his nature, we shOuld not
feel like writing a line to his mem
ory but knowing his generosity
that often impoverished himself for
the sake of wholly unworthy reci-
pients, we drop a parting tear to
the recollection of a man without
purpose, and soul without crime.

WAYS THAT ARE DARK"

Inc ClSpOSltlOn 10 regard tne Cninese
asa stupid people who only acquire our
habits when forced to them by outside
pressure, has too long been failure
among our people. Our coed qualities
and the virtues resul ing from mature
civilization, they have been slow to cul-
tiyate; but all the vilianies Of the Euro
pean races. they have caught up with
singular avidity.
The recent robbery of the County
Treasurer Of Coos county. Oregon. Is a
case in point. He is good nafnrea'
honest sort of mar, elected more from
his excellent social qualifications than
for any adaptabili:y he might possess
for the Office. He went home one night,
not long ago, in a jolly eondition-we
should suppose. from the circumstances
that followed-and went into sleep so
sound that gun wonld not have AVA
kened him. The day dawned and when
ba avoke it was to find that robbers
had entered the room and not only car
ried off his safe-key bnt his money also.
An examination of his office revealed
the fact that the thieves had unlocked
the safe and stolen a large amount OF
money, most of which has since been
recovered from the Chinese bdrglars
who perpetrated the theft.
Another case in point was that OF
friend of ours who imported diamonds
into San Francisco and had an office IN
the second story of building on the
Washington street side of the Plaza.
His goods were IN safes and the room
was secured with iron doors and window
shutters. One day, Chlnaman came
into bug diamond which he purchased
for sixty dollars. He was accompanied
by another heathen whose cat-hke eyes
went searching about the room. That
night, our friend locked up everything
as usual ard went home. About mid
night or soon after. the Chinese bur
glars (for they were nothing else) got
on the roof of the one-story building
next door. Armed with crowbars, they
commenced making hole in the blank
brick wall on the west side so as to en-
ter our friends Office. Silently but
rapidly they worked till about three
O'Clock when suddenly q iurid flame
shot mp towards heaven and revealed
them at their work. 1t was Dupont
street opium den on fire. Fearing the
approach of the police, the thieves ran
off leaving their work incomplete. but
half an holr more would have seen
them inside the building.
These almond eyed, long tailed fell
lows are sharp and pry into every hole.
Under pretense of getting washing from
the boarders. they invade the corridors
of every hotel and lodging house in the
city with their noiseiess felt-soled

GRANT AT WoRK.-A Washington
letter writer says; 1t appears that in
the course of tho investigation into the
affairs ofthe Freedman's Savings Bank,
now in progress, one Of the former
officers of the swindling concern &C.
knowlcdgcd that 100000 of the de-
luded depositors money was taken for
political use in 1872, when Grant was
running for bis second term. If the
whole history Of the canvass of tha,
year could be written, ii would be the
most shocking story of wholesale fraud
and corruption the country has ever
known. The Whisky Ring exposures
have afforded some light upon the
means used by the Grant party to
swell their corruption fund, though but
asmall part of the truth has been made
known. Many of the worst facts
never Will DO proved, IT the policy
adopted by Grant and Picrrepont to
intimidate witnesses Is allowed to pre- J..
vail. But about the mcanest part of
the whole business was this stealing of
the poor ircedmcn's savings to use for
the purpose of keeping the vcnal Ad.
ministration crowd in power, with con.
tinucd opportunities for plundcring and
depressing the people.
