A Talk with MIR. Vanderbilt.

VIM. H. Vanderbilt was one of the
few men in New York whose sleep
on Monday night had not been dis
turbed by the sad news of the Presi-
dents death. for he knew nothing of
it till he saw the morning newspa-
pers. In an interview he spoke feel
ingIy of his grief, and expressed a
high opinion of President Arthur.
He sad: "He has great goodsense
sound Judgment and executive abil-
ity, and if he only will rise to the
magnitude of the OCCASION, he has
the greatest opportunity before him
any President ever had. He will
have to steer clear of a feeling of
faction. He is no longer leader of
any party or any faction he is Pres
ident of the whole country. He be-
longs now no longer to any particular
class of people who may have had his
sympathy and support hitherto; he
belongs to the whole American ma
ton. hope he will tear himself
aloef from past affiliations so as to act
solely with a view of benefiting the
whole people. l think he will have
the good sense to see this, for sup
pose there are few men in this coun-
try who are more experienced or
better able to feel the pulse of the
public. And then he has always
been in contact with able men, and
is first-class pOlitician-I am using
the word in its best sense. Every
body who knows him knows that"
When asked if he though he would
appoint Mr.. Conkling Secretary Of
State, he replied that he would be
crazy to do it. "No, no; he must
not do anything like that. He has
to conciliate and to pacify the party
and the people-no faction fight, no
reyengeful feelings; if he does any,
thing from any such feeling he's
gone, he's gone!"
"Blaine and all the other members
of the Cabinet will no doubt resign
in due course of time. L don't be-
lieve that Blaine would stay even if
Arthur wanted him to do so but if
he should, that would be Blaine's
affair. No, Arthur must not raise
against himself new party or fac
ton, as we have seen party raised
up against Garfield; he must strike
an even path straight between the
two camps, steer clear of both sides,
and give the people good, conser-
vative, efficient government.
POSTMASTER James has proved
himself to be good man, and has
satisfied the business community SO
thoroughly that believe he will be
retained. If there is new Secretary
of State, he will be an Eastern man
like Mr.. Blaine. The financial policy
of the government is fixed.on sound
and substantial basis, and any inter-
ference with it would be almost uni
versally deplored. l know ofno fault
that is to be found with Secretary
Window, who has conscientiously
followed out the policy of his prede-
cessors, but If he is to be removed 1
hope that some conservative, sound
thinking man of business will be put
in his place. But whoever may be
appointed, 1 do not anticipate any

store which we have overlooked we shall be
glad to publish the fact as soon as it is
demonstrated, and we should think that if
the Produce Exchange wishes to convince
the farmers that it had no Interior motive
in putting forward its recent high estimate
of the surplus crop, it would lose no time
in giving the facts upon which that esti-
mate was based. 1t is unfortunately true
that the State Agricultural Society has
failed to gather the statistics of wheat, and
that the Changers have equally neglected
this important work. One result of this
neglect is that they have to depend upon
loose guesses and haphazard estimates,
and that even when, as at present,
statements are made which appear to fly
in the face of all probability, they have
not the data at hand for ascertaining
the truth. We hope that it will be i'm
possible for any journal to make such
criticism as this ayear hence, however. The
interests of the farmers are such that it is
matter of vital Importance for them to
know the extent Of the surplus crop con-
tinually, and their present experience will
no doubt impel them to take measures for
supplying SO serious hiatus in their bust
ness equipment.

THE WHEAT QUESTION

Some San Francisco commercial papers
have questioned the accuracy of the est
mate made by this journal in regard to the
quantity of wheat on hand in the State.
As these journals have no basis to support
them but the figures put forward by the
San Francisco Produce Exchange, and as
these figures are not verified in any way,
we see no reason for altering our opinion.
The Produce Exchange processes to have
made careful inquiry. If it has done sc
it must be in a position to tell the
public where the 500 600 tons of wheat
which it claims to be in the State are
situated. Evidently if it can show
that such quantity of grain is stored in
such and such warehouses, at such and
such points, it will have proved its case,
But evidently no statement less precise
and less capable of being tested is Of
any practical value. We are not will
ing to accept the unverified and irresponsi.
bic assertion of an organization which has
a notorious interest in depressing the price
of wheat, on question off this kind We
do not pretend to be in the possession Of
accurate information as to the quantity Of
wheat in the State, but we know enough
to be convinced that the estimate
OF the Produce Exchange is gross
exaggeration. We can account for no
more than $500 to 400, coo tons in the
principal warehouses, and as it is to be pre-
suned that all the wheat of the last crop is
now in store. we cannot see where it is
possible to find 400, 900 tons more. But if
there are immense quantities Of wheat in

DRAINAGE.

Once more Sacramento has the question
OF drainage forced upon her attention by
winter storms, which, surrounding the
lower part of the city with water, render
the Drainage Canal ineffective, and force
back the contents of the sewers upon the
yards and houses of the people. Had the
recommendations of the RECORD UNION in
1878 been adopted, and the outer system
of levees been built, instead of the Brighton
to street system, the present inconveni-
ence and damage would have been largely
If not altogether avoided, for it would
then have been possible to discharge the
drainage into wide open area beyond the
city limits. and protected against inunda-
ton. A question of economy ruled against
this plan, though it had the preference of
all the engineers. 1t was thought cheaper
TO build a small levee combining small
area, even though the result of this con-
traction was TO throw all the drainage in
food seasons back upon the people
who inhabit the southern portion of
the city. In fact it was another of
those penny-wise and pound-fsolish
compromises which some people are
so fond of simply because they cannot
see an inch beyond their noses. Ifsany-
thing is plain now it is that we shall never
have effective drainage until we can raise it
by pumping above any food hight, or until
we can get rid Of it in some other way
which does not involve the carriage of it
beyond the city limits. As to objections
against putting it in the river, it is clear
that our correspondent "a Citizen has not
observed which way the Sacramento flows.
or he would not have evolved the singular
idea that such process would affect the
quality of our drinking water. What we
need is means of raising our sewerage
above food nights, but even before that is
done it viii be necessary to construct ra-
tional and general lsystem..of sewer connec-
lions with the houses. AT present cur
sewers do not really drain the city, and it
is time they did.

HEARING SOUNDS FROM THE SUN.-The
Complies Rendas for November ID informs
us that Professor Bell and NJ. Jansen
have attempted to hear with the photo
phone the sounds believed to accompany
the rapid connections taking place in the
solar philosophers. The experiments were
made at the observatory of Meudon, a
selenium cylinder being placed In different
parts of an image of the sun some two feet
in diameter. No very conclusive results
were obtained, but NJ. Jansen has further
suggested that a sort of concentrated effect
might be obtained by passing number Of
successive photographs OF sun-spot across
beam of light, the variations of the in.
tensity of the beam producing sounds when
they fall upon the sensitive "photophonic
pile" of selenium. Further experiments
in this direction are still in progress, in
the result of which the scientific world is
eagerly interested. If success should at
tend their efforts, it would be one of the
most wonderful achievements of science
ever accomplished, and in the light of what
has already been done, it is perhaps nothing
more than may reasonably be expected.

In several other States. We have no fault

the tramps work. On the contrary, we

pose other kinds of people, who are not

mainly to the vagueness of its definitions,
and their exceeding breadth. 1t seemed
to us that under such law almost anyone

sirable positions of First, Second and

no one else was in the house. Only two other
