Mr.. George w. Julian's appoint.
ment to be Surveyor.General of
New Mexico means mischief, the
New York Herald thinks, to the
land rings which have had their
own way out there for some years.
Mr.. Julian has made a study of the
land business of the government,
and no more capable or jealous
man could have been found to
take in hand and reform the New
Mexican land Office, which badly
needs a vigorous reformer's hand.
Mr.. Julian will have work enough
to do, but he is able to do it.

rHE ST. PAUL RIVER CONVENTION.
Times -Demoerat.l

We learn with pleasure that the
proposed st. Paul River Conven-
tiOn. whereof we spoke a few days
ago, has not been called in the in
terest of the Northwestern States
as opposed to the rest of the Mis-
sissippi Valley, as asserted by the
Chicago papers.
There are many who desire to
split the Valley into two or more
camps and factions, knowing that
by SO doing they can neutralize
its influence and power. United
it is sufficiently strong politically
to carry through any measure I;
divided, its defeat is assured.
When we heard therefore, that
the Northwestern States proposed
to secede from the Valley, to sep
arate their interests from the other
Valley States, and to devote their
energies to securing an appropria-
tion for the upper river alone, we
opposed this policy as unwise and
suicidal. 1t seems, however, that
while there are some interests in
the Northwest endeavoring to TO.
ment this dissension and to bring
about this division, they cannot be
charged against the st. Paul
Chamber Of Commerce.
In a letter of May 90 to Capt. B.
ID. Wood, Chairman of the Execu.
tive Committee on the improve
of the Western Waterways, at
whose call the late River Conven.
tion met here, Mr.M. Blakely, chair.
man of the st. Paul river commit.
tee, writes:
"The st. Paul Chamber of Com.
merce has passed the following:
"'Resolved, That this chamber
respectfully ask that the executive
committee on the Improvement of
the Western waterways call river
improvement convention, to be
held at st. Paul this fall.'
~ accordingly ask that the con.
vention be called for Sept. 9 and
10, ifit shall be thought advisable
by your committee"
This demand, it will be seen, i'm.
plies no division in the ranks of
the Valley and no opposition to
the lower river, but continued
united action. The late conven.
tion heldin New Orleans showed
the sentiments coming from one
end of the river; by holding an.
other at st. Paul, the other navi.
gable end of the Mississippi, it will
show that the whole Valley from
the Crescent City to the Minneso'
to capital is united and unani
mously in favor of river improve.
ment.
To the demand of the st. PAM
Chamber of Commerce, Mr.. Woot
has answered, expressing his cor
dial approval of the project bu'
asking for the reLrons which in
duced that body to demand a con
ventiOn so soon after that held IL
New Orleans. If this was done
as it probably was, to make
stronger showing just before Con
gress meets, there can be littl,
doubt that the st. Paul convention
will be held this fall.

A number of inquiries have been
received at the Post Office De.
partment as to whether the order
issued by Gen. Grant in 1873 pro-
hibiting Federal officers from hold
ing State or municipal Offices will
be continued in force by the pres
ent administration. This order pro.
hibited Federal officers from hold
ing any State Office, with certain
exceptions, including deputy post
masters in certain cases. 1t does
not seem to be settled whether
the order applies to postmasters
whose salary is less than $1,000,
and there has been no uniformity
in regard to the application of the
rule to them. Probably some
general regulation on the subject
may be made.- Washington nis-

Exploding a Fallacy.


The State geologist of Indiana,
in his last ann nal report, says:
That floods are owing to recent
causes is not absolutely true, as it
is evident from alluvial deposits
that foods have occurred in the
Ohio valley long before the coun-
try was known to white men,
although recent conditions may
have contributed to their magni.
tude. There is evidence from
these deposits that there have
been occasional floods much high.
er than any that have occurred
since the country was settled.
For this reason floods are likely
to occur again, as they did proba
bly, hundreds of years ago. The
influence of forests is not regard
ed as SO great as is frequently as.
cribed to them. They have little
effect on the aerial currents which
produce continental storms, and
which often extend over 1,00O
miles, producing great foods
The heights of the several princi'
pal floods are given, showing nc
material change in their magni
tude for the last half century OF
more, the time when most of the
native forests were standing, and
since most of them have been re
moved.

The public ceremonies attend.
ing the turning over of the Niaga.
ra Falls Reservation to the Com.
missioners of the State of New
York will probably take place July
10. 1t is expected that a general
demonstration will take place as
many people are making arrange
ments to be present. The best
way to deal with annoyances from
backman will be carefully consid.
cred by the commissioners. Mr..
Porter, who is the principal local
candidate for the position of su.
perintendent Of the reservation,
does not believe that the difficulty
can be entirely overcome until
Falls street, which is the only av.
enue leading from the railway sta.
tions to the Falls, has been taken
by the State and is under the con.
troll Of the commissioners. If this
were done, he says that proper
management would be able com.
pletely to suppress the nuisance.
The cost would be scarcely more
than nominal, as all the adjoining
property owners would gain rath-
er than lose by the transfer and
would in most instances convey
the necessary rights to the State
without remuneration. = Times.

London, the Great City.
brooklyn Eagle.l

N%"eN-l
London stands easily at the
head of all modern cities, yet it
has added five times as much to
its population during the present
century as it did during the pre-
vious 1000 years. There is a diff.
fculty about stating the exact
population of London, because
England's metropolis is not a city
in the ordinary sense, but an ag.
gregation of towns, an ever spread.
ing oyergrOwn aggregate of houses
and streets, which is constantly
invading new territory and cover.
ing it with buildings. Thus the
old city Of London had at the last
census but 50,526 inhabitants; +;
London, within the registrar gen.
erals table of mortality, had g..
Sl4, 4,57l people; the London school
board district had 3,S32,44l peo-
pie, while the London of the met.
ropolitan and city police district
had 4,764,3l2 inhabitants, nearly
as many as the whole State of
New York. The latter figure may
be taken as the proper population
Of London, regarded as a commu-
mty. Its increase during the pre-.
vious ten years was $4,000, or
at the rate of % per cent.
1t is easy to figure up what the
continuance of such a rate of in.
crease would finally lead to. 1t
would give London at the next
census nearly 100000 of inhabi.
tants, and at the next succeeding
one 7,250,000, OF course this rate
of increase may not be maintained,
but that is a matter in which no
one can speak with certainty,
When London had but 100000
inhabitants every one said that
this wonderful growth must soon
stop; but since then London has
been growing faster than ever and
with the yigor of a young western
town. There, if anywhere, will be
solved the problem as to how
many people can exist in one great
city.

How Archer Won the Derby.

Especial to the Times.Democrat.l
London, June, 3.-Sportlng ex-
perts agree that the crowds at the
Derby to-day have never been
equaled IN former years, and Ger.
tainly more superb race was
never run ON Epson Downs. 1t
was neck and neck between Mel.
tor and Paradox for fully a hun.
dred yards before the finish. AT.
cher and Webb were riding the
two favorites for all they were
worth.
Both horses were apparently at
their top-notch Of speed. They
were running SO closely together
that it seemed impossible that
either jockey could force out the
few extra inches that would give
him the race, and the breatllles'
thousands watching the struggle
with the intensest interest begal
to conclude that it would be ,
dead heat, like last years race
when st. Gatien and Harveste
divided the honors, but Melton'l
gameness and Archer's terrific EN-
ergy conquered in the last few
strides, with Paradox only heat
behind.

SwinuIe BY a crooked Postmaster.

Portland, Ore, June 5.-The
0regonian's Lewiston Idaho
special says: Isaac Hibbs was
appointed postmaster at Lewiston
In March, 1854 Last January a
registered mail pouch was robbed.
An official investigation developed
nothing, and the affair was event.
ually forgotten. May 2, last, Hibbs
left for an alleged silver mine on
the upper Columbia. The postal
inspector, alarmed al his continued
absence, investigated the affairs
of the Office and found Hibbs had
written receipts for large nun.
ber of registered mail packages
destined for fictitious names in diff.
ferent postofiices supplied from
Lewiston. The modus operandi
was as follows:
Lewiston is a Misunderstanding
point for large number of offices
in Northern Idaho and Eastern
Washington. Hibbs would issue
a money order for a fictitious name
at these offices, drawn in favor of
a bank in Idaho where the orders
were payable. The customary let.
ter of advice was forwarded to
the paying postmaster. He then
wrote to the banks that he would
shortly visit the and enclosed
a money order and requested the
bank to cash them and place the
amount to his credit on deposit
until he arrived. Later he wrote
the bank that he could not make
the contemplated visit, and re-
quested that a draft for the amount
of money on deposit be returned
by registered mail to q fictitious
name attached to the money or
ders, and always at the same Office
where the mail passed through
Lewiston. The drafts arrived by
registered mail, Hibbs signed the
fictitious names and returned the
receipts, and the transaction wat
completed. Money orders ar,
limited to $500 in favor of one per
son, but, with forethought and ju
dicious distribution of dates ant
places, an opening through whicl
unscrupulous postmasters coulC
bankrupt the United States. Tn,
amount of defalcation exceed
$4,000, and is expected to reacl
$4,000.
The scheme is surprisingly simpl
and officers are surprised that !
was never thought of and worked
before. John Evans, the cashie
of the First National Bank; Wi
liam Keltenback, cashier of tn
Lewiston National Bank Alexal
der, Thiesser and Woodwort
were his bondsmen for SSOOl
Alexander and Thiesser were s,
cured before Hibbs left. Hibb
