East Rock.
litOr of the .InIrRNAI, AND COIIRIER:

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
1t is surprising that the early settlers of
New Haven saw 30 little to admire in what
has been called the beautiful East Rock. y
One who had never been there would sup
pose that feathing palm trees and weeping
willows covered its gentle declines, and that
roses, lilies and violets shed their fragrance
all around. Notwithstanding all this with
an Indifference unaccountable and an obtuse-
ness to the beauties of nature inexcusable,
the early settlers passed it by and buried their
dead in the center of the city. And then,
too, when they would establish a university
whose fame was to extend throughout the
country they again slighted East Rock, al
though its salubrious and bracing atmosphere
would have been like a tonic to the young
gentlemen, imparting so much vivacity and
exhilaration that gymnastics and football
might have been dispensed with, to say moth
ing of the facilities for studying the proper
ty of matter as seen in rocks and weeds. And
if the State or town authorities had first said
to the founders of this institution, you can
have the central part of the city and then
said, you can go to East Rock, it would have
indicated such delieate sense of honor that
it would have reflected credit on the State
and convinced every one that it is sweet to
die for ones country.
When the monument is completed of course
all will want to see it, and as a large majori-
ty can only call Sunday their own, it is need
less to say that the congreg atoms in the vari-
Gus churches will be much enlarged by the
exodus to the Rock. But we forget. ERE
ligion and patriotism go hand in hand, ;
that the churches can all be
removed to the top of East Rock. Why not
Sunday school teachers can then ION top OF
the Rock tell the children to grow up wise
and good, emulate the deeds of those who
fought for their country, and then they will be
remembered in like manner. CITIZEN.

A RUSSIAN sFINANCIER. 5,

This country is not the only one which
produces able "fnanciers' like Ward and
Fish. A Russian named Rykox has just
been tried for managing the Bank of
Skopine in such way as to swindle con6d-
ing Russians out of millions. The bank of
which Rykov was the head was under the con-
troll of the government, and for fifteen years
the swindle went on undetected. Although
Rykov was really doing no legitimate bust
ness he began to offer ~ per cent. interest
on deposits at time when the best institu-
tions in Russia were paying only per cent,
and he was straightway overwhelmed with
the money of host of dupes. To make a
pretence of showing how his great profits
were earned, he regularly made entries in
the banks books of mythical financial opera
tions, and any curious inquirer might see the
record of discounts loans, purchases, and
sales, which were all of the most gratifying
nature, but were also all of them purely ic-
titious. Every December an old man in the
pay of the bank, who was SO illite-
rate that he could hardly write his own
name, used to sign contract for the pur-
chase of several millions worth of imaginary
securities, and this transaction, with the
imaginary profit upon it, always appeared on
the bogus balance sheet sent to the authori-
ties and published in the official journal.
Paper was made on an extensive scale, and
with little attempt at disguise. One man of
straw would draw on another man of straw
for fifty or hundred thousand roubles, dis
count the bill and get the money, and then
II.
and messengers of the bank figured in the
books as debtors for tens of thousands of
roubles taken by their masters.
Rykov escaped detection for a long time
because he corrupted everybody through
whom he thought his evil doings might be
exposed. The mayor, the town clerk, the
chief of police were in his pay. The month
ly audit required by law from officers of the
municipality was a farce; the books were
never looked at, the cash was never counted,
and the balance sheet was signed without
being examined. A reign of terror pre-
vailed. So absolute was Rykov's power that
he did not hesitate, through the complaisant
police, to exile people who chanced to offend
him, on no better pretext than that they
were "evilintentioned' men, and even in
one case because the Objectionable young
man had whistled while passing the manager
in the public garden. He was finally brought
to justice by anewspaper which could neither
be bribed or bullied.
When this precious rascal had reached the
end of his rope his balance sheet showed
twelve million roubles on hand, but NO
money was discoverable He was q remark
able swindler, even for Russia.
