thousand veterans. The parade was
reviewed by Commander-in-Chiel

sons.
II took the procession just six hours
to pass the reviewing stand. The en-
campment met In formal session on
Wednesday morning Every state and
territory, not excepting Alaska, was
represented. The opening address OF
the commander-in-chie was listened to
with rapt attention. His defamation
in faver of the establishment of depart
ments OF the G.. A. r. for the negro
veterans created a decided sensation.
II was hardly expected that he would
so openly favor the separation OF the
races. and the whites OF Louisiana and
Mississippi were oyerioyed at his de-
cisive recommendations.

were presented and accepted Wash

Last of the Lafayeutes.

Youths Companion.
The recent death in France of Ed
mend de Lafayette, the ''last of the
Lafayettes," and the grandson of the
friend of Washington, has called
anew the worlds attention to the
virtues and public services of the
family, now extinct, to which he be-
loDged.
M. de Lafayette was a Senator of
France, and faithful and intelligent
public servant. He was also very
modest man, and was impressed
with the conviction that, while 1t
was his duty to give to his country
the best of his abilities, it was also
his duty, out of respect to the pre-
eestor, to withhold himself from any
career of ambition.
1.-THE name will die with me-" he
said. ut is my duty simply to keep
it intact. can not add to it,"
The famous family to which he be-
longed had given to the world sever
al soldiers, Giplomstists, engineers
and financ;ers. They were always
characterized by public spirit and de-
vo6ion to freedom and by want of per-
sonal ambition.
Everything In their circumstances
tended to attach the Lafayettes to
conversation and to the elegant life of
the court, but they set aside every
thing In their devotion to the princi-
pie of popular freedom.
The unselfishness of the great
Marquis de Lafayette was well i'll
ustrsted by an incident of the Revol-
utiOn of 1880.
The people were at first slow to
rise against the monarchy, and it was
proposed by some hot headed young
students to throw the old Gen. de
Lafayette into the river Seine, in or
der to incense the people and stir
them to revolt.
He was so greatly loved by the pee
pie that, these foolish youths argued,
such an outrage if nothing else,
would move them to mutiny.
Some one went to Lafayette himself
and told him of this astounding pro-
position. He answered with entire
seriousness:
well, well. That is quite an idea.
It's worth thinking about"
The children OF the great Marquis
de Lafayette, the hero of two
worlds" inherited his fondness for
America and Americans, and at the
burial Of Senator Lafayette, on one
of the first days of the present year,
the official representatives of the IN
tied States in Paris followed, on foot,
his coffin to the grave.

TIE case of Nee Lee, the Chinese
young woman who has figured in the
columns of the HERALD, illustrates the
uses to which the courts of California
are being prostituted by Chinese high
binders. This girl was engaged to be
married to young Chinaman, named
All Yen, to whom she appears to be
attached. They both resided in San
Diego. A Los Angeles highbinder was
employed to swear outa warrant before
Los Angeles justice, accusing Nee Lee,
who was supposed to be male, of a
larceny committed here, the accusation
being that Nee Lee fed with the plum
der. When the constable reached the city
OF bay'nclimate he had no recourse
but to arrest the supposed larcenist and
bring her up to this city. The arrest
was made on the very day the marriage
was to have taken place. All Yen stuck
to his intended bride like a devoted
lover, and accompanied the party to Los
Angeles. lhe highbinders. however,
were equal to the emergency, and 80
they swore out a warrant against All
Yen for larceny committed in San Diego,
and yesterday that unfortunate celestial
was yanked back to the bay. 1t requires
a great deal of patience ON the part of
the American people to endure these
tamperings with our courts.

APRoPos Of the alarming number Of
National bank defaications in this
country, Mr.. ]. s. TAFT, who is familiar
with the banking system of Great Brit
ain, points out in the July Forum how
the branch system, or ssmanv-roofed
bank" has proved in practice most
effective cure for this great evil in that
country. Prior to. the adoption of this
system, he says: English banks suf-
fered cruelty from defalcations, much
as this country does now; since its per
fection, thirty years ago, the great joint
stock banks, with chief offices in
London and with aggregate depos-
its of 81 ,000, 100000 have not suffered
an appreciable loss through the
dishonesty of their employees. -
He cites two London banks which
have respectively 172 and 1854 branches.
with combined assets of $400, 600, 900.
The branch system prevails not only
throughout the United Kingdom, but in
many of the colonies. Amongst the
obvious advantages of this system, which
has been thoroughly tested during the
last thirty years, may be mentioned two,
the Importance of which cannot be over
estimated, viz: The central Office can be
relied upon to thoroughly examine and
supervise the branches; and, second,
the smallest branch has all the strength
Of the parent institution. So that these
two merits alone, to say nothing Of the
many others recounted by Mr.. TAFT,
should be sufficient in these days OF
bank defalcations to induce the Ameri-
can people to adopt the system with as
little delay as possible.

IT is not generally known that the
plans of our crack cruiser, the Charles
ton, which will be anchored for couple
of days off Redondo Beach, have been
substantially patterned on those of the
Esmeralda, Chilean steamer which
has been So effective in the cause OF the
Chilean insurgents. The design of the
Esmeralda is due to the constructive gen.
ius OF Admiral Lynch, on whose draw
ings she was modelled. If, as at one
time seemed probable, these two vessels
had come into collision in the arbitra-
ment of naval war on the southern
coast, the contest would thus have re-
solved itself into question of the sailor
ship and pluck of the officers and men
of the respective navies.

DR.. Lanes Monthly Health Report-A
Few Sunstrokes.
The monthly report of the state board
of health contains the following re-
marks:
Mortality reports from seventy-tive
cities, towns and localities, aggregating
a population of 675,S54, show total of
995 deaths from all causes.
But few deaths have been reported as
due to excessive heat, yet a sufficient
number of cases OF sunstroke have been
noted during the few days of the heated
term to dispel forever the traditional
fiction that insulation never occurs in
California.
A reference to the mortality table will
demonstrate an increase of deaths at
San Francisco from diphtheria, there
being 70 reported, as against 18 in May.
Every one will concede that rs deaths
from either cholera or smallpox would
produce the utmost CONSERVATION in
San Francisco. Nevertheless, .25 deaths
deaths from diphtheria, confined to
those OF tender years, seems to produce
but little effect on those who have the
control of ways and means with which
to construct drains and sewers suitable
to the urgent needs of rich and popu-
lous city. 8
Reports. of prevailing diseases from
forty-seven localities show diseases of
the stomach and bowels of diarrhaeal
character to have been quite common.
The fatalities have been light, consider
ing the high temperature of the month.
Two hundred and seventv-five cases OF
malarial fevers would indicate that fes
vers of malarial type were more preva-
lent than any other class of disease.
This is easily explained by the late rains
creating surface water, followed by great
heat. La grippe is diminishing, yet a
considerable number of cases Of bron-
chitis are attributable to the cause. The
state. sanitarily considered, is in a
healthy condition. and due vigilance
should be observed in order to keep it SO
during the two months of warm weather
before us.

doubt it. There are very few cases of
which this cannot be said. In this in
stance there are thirty witnesses from

SENATOR MORGAN, who is one of the
most level-headed of the Southern
Democratic senator's, in a recent inter-
view, has expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Cleveland will not be the Demo
cratic nominee for president on the
Democratic ticket in 1892. He thus
ranges himself in line with his col
league from Alabama, Senator Pugh,
who had previously expressed, and with
greater emphasis, the same opinion.

make the exhibit this wear a more brill

festivals.
