TIRE decision of the House committee
that Sileott was disbursing agent for the
Government, and that the latter is there
fore bound to make good his losses, is
sound. We do not understand how it is
possible to occupy any other ground in the
consideration of the matter Silcott was
appointed under regulations of the Gov
eminent. His oath of office and his bond
run to the Government, and not to those
with whom he dealt in the name of the
United States. The Government was The
principal in the transaction, and it should
therefore make good the defalcation of the
agent. Take the case of the Congressman
who were elected in the fall of 1888, but
who did not go up to Washington until
this winter; is it just to hold them to
their losses because they find that Silcott
has decamped with their salaries? Ger
tainly not Even if it is admitted that
they requested him to draw their money
for them, that has been the custom of the
House members for years. and it has been
recognized by the Government that has
permitted the Sergeant-at-Arms to draw
these salaries for the purpose Of paying
them over to the Congressman.

Mrs. STANFORD announces that design
ing is to be taught in the Leland Stanford
Jr. University, as an essential foundation
to an education that shall not leave stu
dents on graduating as Herbert Spencer
declared most college graduates are left,
helpless. This is a wise decision, but it
was contemplated from the first, and Mr..
and Mrs. Stanford, in preparing the neces-
sary materials for School of Design, are
only carrying out their original intention.
The world is more and more awaking to
the realization of the truth, that drawing
and painting ability to express
through designs by light and shade-are
something more than accomplishments.
They are tools, arms, that equip whoever
has them that much the better for the bat
tie of life. Every School of Design ought
to be encouraged, and there is room for
one in every considerable community. We
will have, as the result of their establish
ment and promotion, better mechanics,
better business men, better professional
men, better tastes, and, in consequence,
more of refinement of the true order, that
which carries with it the capacity to COM
prehend the beautiful, symmetrical and
harmonious.

naturalization laws need to be amended
and greater circumspection of applicants
required, the nation is agreed; that there
should be put up some bars against immi-
grafton of a certain class, the people are of
one mind. The control of immigration
matters by the State of New York has
never been satisfactory, and the sooner the
Government resumes its right to manage
such matters the better. The ease with
which foreigners are railroaded through
the Courts and turned out simon-pure citi-
zens before they understand the full mean
ing of the title is public shame, and the
sooner it is removed the better.

musical entertainment to take place at the
Metropolitan Theater. Monday evening.
December 90th. The box-sheet for sub
scribing members opens at Houghton's to-
morrow Saturday morning, and for the
general public Monday morning. Through
an unfortunate mistake concerning the
business announcement of these events

earlier. But there is ample time now
for reservation of seats to be made. The

NJ. BouLANGER, we lift our hat to yor
you have pronounced the United States
of America the greatest nation of the
earth. Accept our regards, with the hope
that your abandonment of the cause of
the Monarchists is sincere. Now take
back to the domestic hearth the patient
little woman in Paris who is the wife of
your youth and the mother of your chill
dren, and we will recall all the harsh
things we have said of you. With such a
reward in view, how can you hesitate?

LIEUTENANT CRoZIER, of our army,
was sent to Europe to examine into the
effectiveness of certain new ordnance in
ventions. While there he had occasion to
test the new smokeless powder, of which we
hear so much. In his report to the Gov
eminent he will rot be favorable to the
new explosive agent. The Swiss Govern
ment has used the powder for very con-
siderable time, and experiment and con-
slant trial have convinced the Swiss Off
GERS that the velocity given the bullet is
sufficient but that the pressure, $4,000
pounds to the square inch, is dangerously
great. France, with its new rifles, got
somewhat better results in its experiments,
increasing the velocity and reducing the
pressure to 81, 800 pounds. The German
smokeless powder is however the best, and
gives more satisfactory results, but still
the pressure is too great.
According to Lieutenant Crozier there
are three serious objections to all the
kinds of smokeless powder yet invented
and tested: The irregularity of pressure,
the quickness with which they deteriorate
and the intense heat, which burns the
shell and affects the accuracy of fire.
Until these obstacles are overcome smok-
less powder will not come into general
use.
But there are some very gratifying re-
suits of the Lieutenant's visit to Europe
He reports emphatically that the United
States is as far advanced in knowledge
and ability to manufacture heavy guns as
any nation of Europe, Our six, eight
and ten-inch guns are as fine as any he
could find, and superior to most of those
he saw in Europe. But in the matter of
carriages for our heavy guns, the Lieuten.
ant reports that we are far behind the
Governments of the Old World He pro-
cured the designs for the improved carriages,
and will submit them to the War and
Navy Departments at once.

ITALY has abolished differential duties
against France. In taking this step Crispi
says that it is done with the desire to
show to France that Italy wishes no tariff
war with her, but Signor Crispi upset the
milk by adding that he has no expecta-
ton whatever that France will manifest
towards Italy an equally liberal spirit.
Why did not Crispi seal his lips at the
end of the first sentence? He has now
effectually provided reason for non-con-
currence on the part of the exeitable
Frenchmsn.

OK New Years Day monster labor
meeting is to be held in New York City to
demand from the authorities accommoda-

Such a programme should insure a
crowded house, while the claims of the
club for consideration are strong for its
effort TO cultivate the musical taste of the
community. 1t has recently made several
additions to its membership and the
chorus will therefore be considerably
strengthened Monday night. As hereto
fore the musical director of the club will

Congress have resolved to follow up the
suggestion of President Harrison and leg
islate for the restriction of immigration.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Batch

vestigating the operations of the State Inn
migration Bureau in New York, and have
returned to Washington prepared to ad-
wise that all matters relating to immigra-
ton be assumed by the Federal Govern
ment, and that State action in the matter
be abandoned. a select Committee on
immigration and Naturalization has al
ready been created in the House. and this
is taken as an indication Of the set of the
wind in Republican quarters. All right,

by the same company that has played with
him several weeks in San Francisco and

tons to either m 'liss'' or IKE Golden

scenery, and one scene in which a boat
loaded with children crosses the stage

Criminal Notes.

Officer Gilbert arrested a young Ger
man, named T. Kohier, for petit larceny
yesterday morning. He was in the act
of carrying off large thermometer,
which had been hung outside a Main.
street drug store.
Jesus Caeves was arrested by Officer
Edwards, on Alameda street, for drunk
enness yesterday afternoon. On being
taken to the Station and searched, before
his incarceration in the drunk cell, a
copy of a subpoena, summoning him to
appear before Judge Ross, in the United
States Court, at 10 O'Clock this morning,
was found in his pocket. Needless tc
add that he will not be on time.
Mrs. Fuller, the old lady who caused
the arrest of the Tracey family few
days ago, and forcibly elected their eff
fects from her house while the husband
was in jail, again appeared at the Police
Station yesterday and wanted them ar.
rested. She told the Chief that she was
being prosecuted in shameful manner,
and that not content with abusing her,
the Traceys had killed her chickens.
On being informed that her only means
of redress was in the courts, che left in
high dudgeon.

CALIFORNIA FRUITS.
Large Increase This Year Over the
Previous Seasons.

Last year there were seventy-three
carloads of California fruit received in
Boston (says the Boston Traveller of July
23d), while the amount this year will
reach $50 carloads, which proves plainly
that there is greater demand for i'm
ported fruits, and that the fruit itself is
excellent in quality.
The first load received this year was
early in June, and the last lot of the pre-
vious season late in November, during
which time there is scarcity Of other
fruits, and the importations from Cali
fornia are consequently in demand.
1t has been said that the products
brought across the Continent were de-
generating in size and flavor, but the
large dealers declare that never have
they received such perfect pears, peaches
and plums as are coming in now, al
though the bad weather lately has been
the means of reducing the prices of these
goods considerably.
In about two weeks the grapes will
begin to arrive, and as these always sell
readily, there is every reason to believe
that the sales of California fruits this
year will be nearly double over any pre-
vious seasons.
