ate. The Times, regarding the matter
from its own outlook. considers the ap-
pointment as a calamity. We think the
readers of the Times will be of the same
opinion Our wish is that Mr.. Alden may
prove as good q Consul as he has news

Little Billy Fielder of Newark is so hor-
ribly light, that, like the cork, he is for
ever bobbing to the surface. A hope Of
his achieving the Postmastership of New
ark having been happily defeated, he is
now mentioned as Superintendent of the
Life Saving Stations. 1t is time that this
brainless little civet were laid in his grave
political grave, we mean of course. He
has had more than man of his limited
capacity could decently ask, already. If he
must have political Office, let Newark lay
him on the shelf by making him Pound

While the failure Of the banking firm OF John j.
Cisco g. Son NAV expose some unpleasant compli-
cations among its customers who were connected
with railroad management, it has shown that the
firm was free from entanglements outside of its
investments All persons who have been made
familiar with the affairs of the firm since
the failure agree saying that Its accounts conceal
nothing. The assignee short time after he had
entered on his duties was able state the amounts
of the deposit and other liabilities and yesterday
no change in his original estimate had been made.
The firm had an unusually large amount of Govern
ment and railroad bonds which it held in trust for
its customers. The amount was not less than
forty millions the assignee found the securities
carefully slowed away in the firms vaultsand each
bundle properly scheduled and marked.
It is said that more than one-half of the amount
belonged to Mrs. L. III. Green whose peremptOry
demand for the transfer of large sum of money
precptated the failure of the firm. The securities
were held for safe-kecping and the firm collected
the interest on them for the benefit of It's customers
1t was not an empty boast which was made in be-
half of the firm yesterday that neither of the MEN,
bers had been obliged TO make sudden trip to
Canada Every bond was found in its place by the
assignee

REAL CAUSES OF THE FAILURE.

tho failure OF the firm of j. j. Cisco sud-
den call large amount Of money by its principal
depOsltors its very considerable investments in the
depressed Louisville and Nashville securities and the
fact that the firm. which from It's understood position

purchase Of the January coupons Of the Houston
and Texas Central Railway Company had hut compar
atiyoly unimportant connection with 1t.
The Messrs. Cisco the financial agents of the
Texas Railroad Company for long series Of years and

unpleasant discovery mot unusual in such cases. that

current liabilities and that help must he had from

Doubtless the new owners would have been more
pleased than any else 10 find that the company

however, quite as important ana much mole perIna-
