Mr.. GEORGE w. CHILDs says that
General Grrnt is proof against ruin by
his failure; that the trust fund of $780,
600 held by the executors of the late
Governor Morgan can not be disposed
of by the general, nor touched by his
creditors, and that his houses in New
York and Long Branch are in Mrs.
Grants name and therefore are execu-
ton proof.-NeDs Journal.
Granting this to be so, would it be
honorable for Grant to hold the property
and let his creditors go unpaid 1t
don't look so to us.

THE Grant failure only amounts to
about $4,000, 900 after all. The hero of
the mightiest civil eonvulsion the world
ever saw ought to have done better
than that. While any fool ofa Gould

hundred millions, we had supposed
Grant would never stop short of a
hundred million smash.-Ne,Us Journal.

The proprietor refused to serve them, because the students were Africans. Professor Buckley says that the young men were superior to the proprietor ;n culture and intellect. Washington is the capital of great, glorious and free country.

WOMEN AS JURORS.

The women of Washington Territory have
 many '.rights'' They have the right to vote. They also have the right to act as jurors. Chief Justice Greene at the opening of his court | at Tacoma last week had before him grand | jury composed of equal numbers of men and ! women, and iD the course of his charge he expressed his opinion of women as jurors in ! way which will give pleasure to the advo- cates of woman's rights everywhere. He l said: The number of courts holden by me since our laws that pat woman on her present plane became operative is seven, at six of which women served on both the grand and petit juries, and as to the manner ia which they performed jury duty have yet to hear from anyone who, by actual presence in court and intelligent following of what was going on, became qualified to pass an opinion, single adverse criticism or eny word but praise. Heartily I concur in what thus appears to be the gener- al judgment of competent observers. Even though it be granted that the female jurors who have served hitherto are, in intelli- gence, above the average that may be e1- pected, this fact is counterbalanced by two others: First, that in selecting from the en- tire panel parties at every term have shown decided preference for the women ss trial jurors; and second. that no grand iuries ever in session in this territory have done prompter, clearer. better work than those which have sat in this district during the last six months.
 Judge Greene not only thinks that women are fit to serve on juries, but also believes that they are entitled to full participation in public affairs. On this point he says: A wise thing, 1t seems to me, has been done by the people of Washington Territory in admitting woman to share in public affairs on the same basis as man, namely, for all that she is worth. Perhaps, in face of the antagonism that always confronts an effort to do right. she may not be able at first to take her. fair position. Perhaps, after her proper station is well won, some special form of evil may develop out of the fact that she occupies it. Every day in this world must have it's diff crlty, and every good mischief dogging on it's steps. Now is our time for congratuls- ton, while the good advances, overco oming opposition, and the evil, if any be to ceme yet tarries quite beyond our sight.
 It will be interesting to watch tte course and influence of woman in public aff airs in Washington Territory. In Wyoming she has been 8 voter for some time, and though the testimony concerning the way in which she exercises the right to vote is somewhat con ficting, it is evident that she has yet done no serious harm.

COMMUNICATIONS.
A Suggestion For Taxpayers. The Editor of the JOURNAL, AND COURIER:


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The taxpayers of New Haven are begin ming to feel the heavy burden placed upon them by the many appropriations of our city fathers. Do these gentlemen ever give 8 thought as to who the taxpayers are? Many of them are, perhaps, poor toiling men who for years have been saving up little of thsir earnings in order to purchase 3 home for their children, which is often heavily mort gagged. But their condition is often far from the minds of these worthy gentlemen, who are not always ovsrburdsned with taxes themselves.
 There are appropriations made, or to be made, for centennial celebrations, East Rock Park, soldiers monument, police signal sts- tions, and now four thousand dollars is asked for police protection at East Rock Park, where water is sold on Sunday for one cent per glass, two glasses two cents. What a glorious Park it seems te bel
 Would it not be well to use the police of fcers detailed on Sundays to hunt up liquor dealers at the Park, instead of giving away the peoples money wholesale? But, alas! and alasi we now have mounted policemen and horses to support. Why not mount bi- cycles? They are ss noiseless ss rubber boots. An old proverb says "Cleanliness is next 10 godliness;" but the small factory boy who has no bath room at home cannot wash of the weeks dirt in the rivers of our harbor OA BuHu6y HIeuOub RoDO1eQ up Dy lynx-eyed policemen.
 According to recent order of the Board of Public Works, ''no person shall in future sweep the dirt from the sidewalk into the street." We are getting 50 very clean out Rardly that we shall soon have to wear golden slippers or go barefooted lest we soil the beautiful elm-topped walks of cur immaculate city. To be asthetic. As Oscar Wilde would say, we are too teo; the taxes are becoming too too; extravaRance and waste of the peoples money is too too. We are too ambitious, leaving nothing to posterity to perform but simply enjoy in luxury, ease and opulence our hard-earned accumulations. Is it fair to overtax the present generation for the benefit of the future2 We seem to follow in the wake of the general government with regard to our ideas of economy. So with celebrations, bathhouaes, toIlgates, drawbridgess parks, soldiers monument. and so forth, the tax- payers of this city have something more to think of than the late crash in Wall street.

families that still possess fine bits of the magnificent metal work for which Persia
 was once famous The demand, however, | still continues, and the Persians have found 8
 way to meet it at moderate cost. The idea of manufacturing old armor st reasonable prices occurred to an contemplating Persian some years ago, and his success was so great that the business is now well established. Ispanan is the centre or the industry, and the modern limitations of antiques which are turned out there are often made in costly manner, inlaid with silver and gold after sx- quisite designs of the most elaborate charac- ter Sometimes these pseudo-antiques are sold with little attempt to conceal the fact that they are new, while in many cases much cunning has been employed to give them an old appearance, and only an expert could detect the difference between them and gen- uine articles. Many of these limitations are now imported.
 Comptroller of the Currency Cannon would do much to restore confidence in hnan- cial circles. Says he concerning this bill: If it should become law, it would increase the circulation of the country by more than ESQ., 900, 900, and would contribute greatly to the restoration of confidence There are now lying in the vaults of the Comptroller's of. fee bills all ready for issue to banks to re- place worn and mutilated currency These notes could be made immediately available if the McPherson bill should become law, and every national bank in the country would re- ceive circulation equal in amount to ten per cent of it's bonds now on deposit. This cur- rency under the provisions of the MoPherson bill would be sent to every city, town and village in the country where there is a na- tional bank, and thus not only increase the aggregate circulation, but restore confidence. This would not be an imitation measure, be- cause the calling of three per cent. bonds and consequent retirement of circulation would to 8 certain extent offset the increase Un- less tho McPherson bill, or some other meas- ure, giving relief to our banks is passed by Congress-and the McPhersen bill seems to be the only one that is likely to be reached there will be contraction of the currency during the summer and early fall, and it is possible that more financial trouble may oc- cur when it becomes necessary to move the crops.

The Ca iforaia Idea of Jim Ksene


 The announcement of James R. Keene's financial failure in New York will cause a widespread feeling of regret in this State where hs made his money, and where he has host of appreciative friends. There was always something about MT. Keene that con- stituted him favorite with Californians They liked the man, admired his dash and spirit, loved to dwell on his generosity, never tired of telling of his kindness in helping men to rise again who through un- toEard circumstances found themselves in ths position in which he is now, unfortunate ly, placed himself; and they were, above all, grateful to him for his noble acts at the time of the failure of the Bank of California MT. Keene was a singularly successful man during the last few J ears of his resi dence in our city. Every thing he touched seemed to turn to gold. Though others sank, he rose. The circumstances of that time were peculiarly favorable to the making of money by a daring man who had money to make it with. It was Mr. Keenes good fortune to have kept most of his communications intact in the shape of hard coin, and when the de- pFession came upon the suspension of the Bank of California he was in 8 remarkably strong position financially to take advantage of the events that followed The ball was at his foot, and he kicked it with all the dash and daring of his somewhat reckless nature He played the game for all it was worth, and made money with marvellous rapidity for a year or two. He seemed to obtain his infor- nation as to what was happening and of what vas going to happen around him as if by in- tuition. It proved that he knew better than any other man just when the bonanza mines and the Comssock lode were generally going to peter out. and with rare skill he governed himself accordingly. The correctness of kis nanciaI diseases of that period gained him great name, and he was almost hero fer a time. Warm hearted, impulsive, brave, gen. erous dashing, ready to dare and do, he was just the man to commend himself to Califor- nians.
 If there WAS nothing else to the credit side of Mir. Ksene's California balance sheet than his brave conduct at the time of the col lapse of poor Ralston and the suspension of the Bank of California, that alone would suffice to cause him to be held in everlasting remembrance here. In the darkest and most trying hour the State has perhaps ever known he proved himself, in 8 very excep- tional sense, the man for the hour The bank had closed it's dosrs, there was wide- spread dismay, confidence was shaken to it's center, ths ever-to-be-remambered Rals- ton sat with his bowed head in the bank par Tor, where he had long ruled supreme. MT. Kesps entered, and. accosting his old friend in his own cheery, buoyant way, said: '.Never mind Ralston, you shall never want for g bank to manage as long as I have dollar keene was as good as his word, though poor Ralston did not live to test him. The stock holders and directors were liable to the full
