a New York Bank Robbed by It's
Late President.
At late hour on recent night the Clear.
ing House Committee and National Bank
Examiner A. B. Hepburn, issued statements
declaring that the late Major John t. Hill,
President of the Ninth National Bank, of
New York City, at the time of his death,
March last, was defaulter to the bank to
the amountof S400, 200.
These statements are the result of discov.
cries made within few days Of Major Hilps
death. When he died he was fifty three,
had a high reputation as q business man,
and in his various relations as q citizen
and member of society. His home was
at New Brunswick, N. j., where HI
held many positions of trust az
executor, administrator or trustee of es.
tates, positions intrusted to him in conse.
quence of the confidence felt in his integ-
Tity. He came of an old New Brunswick
family, his father having been President Of
a bank in the place.
He entered the bank in subordinate capa-
city and rose from one place to another un-
til he was at the head of the institution. He
was church member, and man who was
looked up to in the community in which he
lived. So great was the trust reposed in him
that he was made executor for several
estates, and no one thought of asking for an
accounting from him.
The plundering of the bank is said TO have
been the outgrowth of Mr.. Hills private
speculations in Wall street and elsewhere.
The bank will loss the entire amount of the
1efalcation, 100000.

Runaway Horses.

l heard an interesting distinction
made the other day by an experienced
driver of horses, not professional,
as to the degree of danger to which a
person was exposed from a runaway
horse. The distinction made was be-
tween the horse that runs away from
fri hit and the horse that runs away
because he is out of temper. In the
former case the animal is said to be
perfectly reckless; he is as likely to
dash across the street as he is to go
straight ahead, and the only safeguard
for team approaching him is to get
as far away from him as possible. But
the horse who is the victim of an ungov-
crnable temper has method in his
madness. He rushes straight ahead
and is careful to avoid obstacles in his
path. Such an animal is much less to
be dreaded than the victim of fright,
and there is no necessity for taking
unusual precautions against collision
whith him. .-[Boston Post.

were twenty-three agricultural educa'

and forestry. The number was soon
increased, however, as the government

education. At the present time there
are hundred schools in the Austrian

comprise one Superior School of Agri

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

There will probably be some diversity of
opinion as to the Presidents recon menda-
ton that the Government indorSe the bonds
of the Nicaragua Canal Company to the ex-
tent that may be necessary to insure the
early completion of the canal. Objections
will arise principally from the fact that the
Governments experience as an indorser has
not been of a nature to warrant continu-
ance in that policy. The fact remains, how
ever. that the opening of a waterway be-
tween the two oceans is necessity so i'm
perative that the withholding Of aid by the
Government would only cause little delay
and considerable increase in the cost OF
the work. The Nicaragua company Will
eventually get the required capital, but may
have to pay large bonus for it. A guar
anty of the bonds by the Government would
secure all the money needed and at the low
est current rate of interest. 1t is not diff
cult to imagine emergencies in which the
canal would be worth to the Government
twice what it win cost. While the rule not
to lend the Government credit to private
corporations is agood one to hold fast to, an
exception was made in the aid given 10 the
first continental railroad, and may be made
again a quarter of century later in con-
Meeting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. 1t
may be said also in behalf of this enterprise
that there are no other oceans on the CONT
nent to connect. The completion of the
Nicaragua Canal on a basis of cost with tolls
as low as the cost of the service will warrant
will give a long rest to other projects for
| connecting the two oceans. Private capital
would be reluc ant to so into competing en-
| terprises whether by water or by land.

STANDS BY THE TARIFF.

The President stands by the present
tariff. He declares that there is no reason
why he should not. 1t has disappointed
the evil prophecies of its opponents and in
large measure realized the hopeful predic-
tons of its friends. A days labor will buy
more now than at almost any other period
in the history of the country. The volume
of foreign trade has increased more than
$4,000 600 over the preceding year. Ex-
ports for the year ending September 30th
were 1923. 09l, 1886 against $500, H. lis for
the preceding year. One of the objections
urged against the Mckinley bill was that it
would reduce the volume of foreign COM
merce. One of our imaginative contempO-
raries drew picture of the port of San
Francisco as it would appear after the Nc
Ktnley tariff got fairly at work. In respect
to the revenue the tariff seems to have
worked equally well. Tie total revenues
for the hscal year ending June 30, 1891.
were S45S, 544, 233 03. expenditures S42l, 30i.-
470 DC, leaving a surplus of $37, 239, 762 81.
1t appears. therefore, that the surplus that
gave Mr.. Cleveland so much uneasness has
not entirely disappeared.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

The President calls attention to the diff
culties attending the enforcement of the
Chinese restriction laws under the existing
conditions. Canada, he says, admits Chi
nese on payment of a per capita tax of $50,
which is often paid with the intention of
evading the American law against Chinese
immigration. The Chinese cross the border,
and, if arrested and sent back, may recross at
pleasure. The President advises legislation
which will put stoD to these practices.
While the President makes no suggestion
as TO the nature of the desired legislation,
IL VIII occur to good many peo-
pie that the remedy lies with the
Executive Department of the Govern
ment. The Canadian law which admits
Chinese on payment Of per capita tax
may fairly be considered unfriendly legis
latiOn. While we cannot demand Of Can
ada repeal of the law, we can make 1t
Canada's interest to repeal it. Canadian
railroads are now enjoying privileges indis-
pensable to their existence by favor Of the
Executive Department of the Washington

THE NORTHERN CITRUS BELT.

A northern daily having commented
faYorably upon the coming citrus fair at
Auburn. the Los Angeles Citizen takes ex-
ception 10 the comment. and. after some as
perSiOn of the quality of northern citrus
fruits. says:
AS 10 quantity the (northern) editor knows
very well that there are more oranges grown on
trn-acre lot In Southern California than In the
entire northern citrus belt.
1t is a well-known fact that by far the
greater part of Calfornia's citrus crop
comes from the southern part of the State,
| only about one-sixth as much fruit being
| raised in the north as there. NotwithStand-
| ing this, however, the extravagant claim of
| the Citizen is hardly borne out by the facts.
There are to-day in the northern citrus
belt some $1,000 orange and lemon trees in
full bearing. Even allowing all that is
claimed for Southern CALIFORNIA; remark
able soil and wonderful climate, it can
| hardly be seriously maintained that ten
acres there will bear as much fruit as 5000
| acres here.
There are many portions of Northern
| California where oranges will not grow, al
! least to be worth cultivating, and doubtless
| there are similar places in the south. As to
| quality, it is with us here as it Is also in the
| south - some sections produce excellent
fruit, others produce such as is not worth
| the picking. We have eaten oranges grown
in Alameda, Stanislaus and Yuba counties
that seemed in all respects equal to the fine
products of Riverside. Such are not yet
to be found here in carload lots. Carload
lots of oranges of any quality are but just
beginning to be shipped from Northern Cal
ifornia, but there is a growing demand for
what we have, and the quantity is iucreaS-
ing of our citrus fruits. while at the same
time the quality is improving. While we
have as yet but 10000 bearing trees, there
are fully 100000 trees not yet come to bear
ing in the northern belt,

fully demonstrated that this new industry
has made rapid progress in the north, and
there can be no doubt but that the coming
exhibit ct Auburn will show still greater
advance, and that our northern growers will
be able to show some fruit comparing very
favorably with southern products.
