NEW York, July 24.-The first bale Of
hops of this years growth has just been
shipped to this city by Il. j. Merkley of
Sacramento, one Of the largest growers of
California hops. The consignment was
made to Lilenthal Bros. SIT is very
seldom in the history of the hop business"
said Albert Lilienthal to-day, that tile
stock of old hops has been so lightas at pres
ent. The result will be that the market
will show an advance of more than 100 per
cent over the opening in the September sea-
son. The outlook for the growing crop is
not suspicious. The probabilities are that
in the market for 1890 hops will not be sold
for less than % cents a pound"

OFFICIAL VANDALISM.
Destruction of Records of Commitments
of Insane Persons.

Destruction of Records OF Comm ailments
of Insane Persons.
A singular case of either official careless
ness or ignorance was yesterday discovered
in the County Clerks office.
t. }. Tully, it appears, has charged OF
insanity records and his predecessor in the
place was l.. j. WEIGH. When any person
Is committed to an insane asylum, the orig
inai complaint and order of commitment are
sent to the County Clerks Office to be re-
corded and kept. A copy is made of the
document and the original filed away,
One day, while Welch still had charge of
the department and Tully was clerk under
MIN, the flrSt-named took bundle Of these
original complaints and orders of commit
ment and threw them into the fire. Since
then Tully has invariably DESTROYED these
documents as soon as a copy has been
made of them.
The recklessness of the act will be appre-
clated when it is understood that in case
these commitments are needed as evidence
in court of law the copies made of them
would be worthless for that purpose, and
OF course the originals cannot be had.
Chief Deputy Williams learned of the
acts only yesterday, when an attorney went
into the County Clerks Office to look at an
original commitment. Chief Deputy
Williams at once issued positive orders
against any more vandalism of this sort

EKING OUT WAGES.
This Is What Concerns the Census
Takers Primarily.

This Is What Concerns the Census
Takers Primarily.
All the enumerators at present employed
in taking the census of the city are not as
conscientious as those who insist on ex-
hausting all the questions contained in the
census-blanks, even to asking the mother
of child of s months whether the infant is
married or single?"
Two trifling incidents which occurred
within the past two days will serve to illus
tate how some of the enumerators are more
mindful of their days earnings than of the
correctness of data, which the Government
is spending 50 large amount of money to
secure.
In one case the census-taker asked no
more than four or five questions, in order,
as he explained, that he might have enough
names in the course of the day to make fair
wages. In another case, some visitors at
friends house were compelled, by threats
OF the enumerator, to give names, bio
graphical sketches of themselves and
family, etc, and, in due course, furnished
the same information TO another enumerator
at their home.
1t is not unlikely that like subterfuges
are employed 10 exc out the scant allowance
made to the enumerators, to the detriment
OF the correctness of the census. The i'm
preston among the census canvassers is
that a more liberal allowance to them would
have been paying investment in the in
tereSt OF political economy.
