SOME time ago the Russian government
commissioned an agent of the the secret
service of that country to examine our
national bank system. He returned to Rus
sia few months since, and copy of his
report has by some means reached Washing
ton, and has created something of stir, for
it is evident that he relied more upon his
own observations than what was told him
by the admirers of the system. He shows,
among other things how illegal reserve"
is carried about from bank to bank, so as to
be on hand when the inspector pays his
visits, and how much care is taken to give
these inspectors good report, with liberal
supply of wines, before he makes his exam
ination. Such condition of affairs has
been limited at here, but there have been
none bold enough to make the charge or
sagacious enough to get at the facts for
proof. Now that the charge is made in an
official form to another government, perhaps
it will be deemed sufficiently important to
warrant an investigation.

The more the Whitaker matter at West
Point is investigated the more mysterious it
becomes. There seems to be no evidence to
show that any of his fellow-students COM
mitted the crime, and none to show that he
did it himself. The only thing that seems to
have been developed that is especially dis
creditable to the institution is the fact that
for five years he has been subjected to COM
plete ostracism, never having been permitted
to hold social intercourse with any of his
mates. If the government cannot enforce
social equality in an institution SO lmmedi-
ately under It's care, how can it hope to en-
force it in the country at large? This fact
is sufficient to warrant the most extreme
measures in connection with the manage
ment of the military academy. If cadet,
regularly appointed and admitted, no matter
what the complexion of his skin, can
not receive courteous treatment, the institu-
tion should be thoroughly reorganized or
abolished altogether.

The GLOBE is better than a whole medical
corps. During the past two years it has,
anticipating the death of score of promi-
nent individuals who were represented to
be on the point of death, published obituary
notices in which their public services were
suitably remembered, but all have recovered.
Among them may be mentioned Prince Bis
marck, Lord Beaconsfeld, Archbishop enni,
Chief Justice Ryan, of Wisconsin. the Gar
Alexander and Alex. II. Stephens. All are
yet alive and apparently in their customary
health. The latest effort in that direction
was brief sketch of Prince GortschakoH,
who, the dispatches informed us, was hourly
expected to breathe his last. Late news
represents that he is rapidly recovering. The
moral is obvious If you desire to live
long, have your obituary published in the

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

Dispatches from Washington state that
the House committee on Pacific railroads
has agreed upon report declaring forfeit to
the United States all the lands heretofore
granted to the Northern Pacific, Atlantic q
Pacific, Southern Pacific and Texas & Pa
cifc railroad companies because of their non
compliance with tie terms upon which such
lands were granted. If the bill should pass
and be actually enforced about ninety-four
million acres of land would revert to the
government. The Northern Pacific has al
ready earned 10, 500, 900 acres by the con-
struction of $50 miles of road; the Southern
Pacific of California has earned Z, 436, 600
acres by the construction of 58l miles; the
Atlantic & Pacific has earned 1,164 900 by
the construction of ninety miles, while the
Texas q Pacific has earned nothing. The
committee assert that these grants have
lspsed by reason of the failure to complete
the roads by the time fixed in the act of
Congress comforting the grants, and there
fore declares that that portion of the lands
not earned should be forfeited to the gov
eminent.
It is not generally known, but the fact is
that the Northern Pacific railroad company
derived its grant by an act of Congress en-
tirely different from the acts granting lands
to the other Pacific companies AN act that

A TRAPEZE HORROR.

Young Girl Fatally Injured by q MIS-
chance at a Philadelphia Circus.
philadelphia Special, April AL
At the performance, this afternoon, of the
Forepaugh & Great London combination
circus, while the great audience were breath
lessly watching the feats of the wonderful
Davene family, consisting of one man and
three women, who were going through the
trapeze acts, Miss Lucy Davene, who had
Just launched herself from pedestal nearly
twenty feet high to make a swinging leap
and be caught in the arms Of her father,
who hung head downward fifty feet away,
was seen to quit her hold on the bar of the
flying trapeze and fall with sickening thud
to the ground below. Men groaned
and women shrieked and hid
their faces for an instant. The poor
girl lay stretched out upon the ground like
one dead, save for a slight tremor of her
limbs. 1t was only for an instant, and then
a stalwart athelete gathered her in his arms
as he might baby and ran with her, sll
limp and senseless, into the adjoining tent
from which the performers enter the ring.
"My Godi my child, my child let me DOWN.
came a cry from the lips of woman in
fashy tights and blonde wig who hung by
her feet from high trapeze, and who in turn
held by his feet Davene, wha was to have
caught the girl if the leap had been success
fully performed. The woman forgot
that she was a circus performer,
and that ten thousand eyes
were upon her, and only remembered that
she was mother. Davene dropped to the
ground, and his wife freed herself in short
time and followed him, and both almost
flew after the swift gymnast who carried the
bleeding girl out of the sight of the Mortified
audience. Several physicians in the audi
ence fastened behind the curtain, and the
show went on, but just behind the curtain
which separated the unemployed performers
from the public, on rude, stuffed tick used
for tumblers to alight on in their leaps, lay
the unconscious girl, presenting asight which
made old showmen turn away sick and shud-
dering. Her blonde wig was gone, and her
brown hair, dripping with ice water, was
brushed back from her face, from which
every particle of color had fed. Her eyes
were closed, and her breath came in short,
quick gasps. On her left temple q great
blue lump, nearly as big as a mans fist, had
raised up, and to this one of the physicians
was holding lump of ice. On the back of
her head there was great cash, from which
the blood flowed freely until it was
staunched by another physician. Lucy
is a slight thing, and as she lay
there in her ring costume,
which was soiled and bloody, she looked
likes mere child, broken and dying. The
mother sobbed wildly, and talking incoher-
emily bent over the girl, bathing her head in
ice water, while Davene was running around
like one distracted. It was heartrendino
scene. The girl, who is about eighteen,
was finally taken home, and will die from
her injuries. The accident was due to car
lessness in the placing of the safety net.

Prospects Unusually Brilliant-Dark Colts
for the Derby.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April l6.-The demand for
stabling at the Louisville jocky club has not
been so great since its organization and the
management has ordered more to be built to
supply the demand. Last year three hundred
thoroughbreds contested for the rich stakes
and the indications point to an increased
number for this spring. Applications for pro-
grammes come from all sections of the country,
but especially from the South, whose citizens
are the first to show their appreciation of this
much loved amusement. Nearly
one hundred horses are now here,
Bramble, Volturno, Little Rufian, Vera Cruz
and Checkmate being the most noted. 1t is
rumored that there are two dark 3-year olds
that will astonish eastern friends and give ad-
ditional interest to the great stakes In both
sections. Derby day promises to be great gala
day, and will attract thousands of strangers.
The field is free to the public, and from the
present outlook the city will amply show her
appreciation of the greatest attraction.
