TEXAS AND DAKOTA.

The Census Bureau has just issued two
bulletins. one giving the population of
Texas in detail, and the other that OF North
Dakota. Whether it was by accident or
from intention that the census-taker pre-
scented the most ortherly State in conjunc-
ton with the most southerly is a matter
which Is left for conjecture.
Texas is as nearly as possible forty-four
years older than North Dakota; that is TO
say, the former contained in 1886 just about
as many people as the latter contained in
1890-something over $4,000, exclusive of
Indians. When Texas was annexed to the
Union in 1916, it con tanned just about as
many people as North Dakota has now
something under 100000. 1t will be remem-
bered that the area of Texas is about four
times that of North Dakota.
North Dakota is well situated to become
a prosperous agricultural State. 1t is
Dlsected from the southern boundary to the
torty-elsbtii parallel by the Missouri River.
and near the center of the State the river is
cut at right angles by the Northern Pacific
Railroad, which runs through Minnesota to
the head OF navigation on Lake Superior at
Duluth. 1t is overlaid with the same rich
deposit of alluvium as Manitoba, which IL
adioins, and it is said that wheat can be
grown at thirty-eight cents a bushel ON
small farms, and at twenty-five cents
bushel on the large bonanza farms in the
valley Of the Red River. AS the product Of
the State is something like 10000 600 bushels,

MEMORIAL COIN.

A correspondent writes that M. II. de
Young originated no idea regarding q coin
tor the Columbian Exposition" The CALL
does not propose TO assert that he did. We
saw statement to that effect in the CItrol,-
icle. and in pure kindness helped that Jour
nal to boom its proprietor. We were moved
to do so from the fact that the Chronicle
has been engaged day, night and Sundays
in booming its proprietor, and we thought
it might judieiously take a little rest Our
correspondent outlines a proposition from
which probably Mr.. de Young derived his
Idea"
Al the time OF our centennial anniversary
1876, asked Mr. Roach then OF the Alta, to
submit The proposition OF having memorial
coin issued by our mint and the alta published
the suggestion.
During the past year have renewed the sub.
Ject, l. e. to have our Congressional representa-
lives endeayOr to have coin minled for Issue IN
the year 1892. II should contain the same
amount OF silver as our dollar, but the design on
1t should be commemorative OF the occasion
head IF Columbus, 1892, etc., etc. This coin
would always be good Tor its face, but my idea
was to retire large amount OF our surplus silver
somewhere in The reIghborhood of ten or more
millions of dollars as everybody would want one
as memento. They could be coined ahead of
time aud exchanged by the Treasurer for our
other dollars, and thus kept by him for issue in

CHINA AND THE w0KLD,s FAIR.

China's refusal to take part in the Chi
cago Worlds Fair is perhaps the proper
thing for China to do. The United States
for reasons of its own has singled out
Chinese as the one people whose working
men we do not want. Our reasons for
making this discrimination have often been
given and need not now be repeated. While
they are sufficient for US, we admit that they
are not likely to put the Government of
China in the best possible humor. But there
is one view of the case we trust China will
not commit the error OF taking. No possible
desire on the part of the fair managers to
have China represented at the fair will in
duce our Government to change its policy
in respect to restriction. The next restriction
law will certainly be more stringent than
the last, aud the authorities are gradually
finding out how to enforce restriction.

THE " HONEST PRESS"

Translated from L'Elvezia (san Fran cisco), Dec.
IL, 1891
There has TRANSFERRED in our metropolis
within the past few days something which
gives occasion for thought.
A certain White was manager of THE
MORNING CALL. The proprietors of this
journal, having full confidence in him, left
him entire freedom of action. One day it
was discovered that White was a thief aud
that those who had brought him out of
nothing and employed him at salary of
$500 per year had been robbed of more
than S65,000 A suit was Instituted against
him. The falsified accounts were shown in
evidence of the crime.
White himself confessed both verbally
and in writing. Notwithstanding this, when
the jury was called to pronoun nee Judgment
on him they could not come to an agree
ment eight having declared that the thief
did not deserve punishment These gentle
men arrived at this conclusion because, in
their opinion. 1t was expected of the prOprie-
tors of The MORNING CALL that they
should have devoted more attention to their
own affairs and prevented the theft.
In word, said these enlightened jury
men, this theft was not crime, but if crime
there were, the culprit was not White who
had robbed. but the propretors of the Jour
nal who had permitted themselves to be
robbed.
And we are treated to something further,
To the beautiful theory of these eight Jury
men not alone adhered the good public with
the elastic conscience, but the great daily
local press applauded in unison, smiling
with satisfaction. The press, which should
be the leader of morality, thus ranges itself
arm in arm with vice.
1t does not matter that the crime is proven
and confessed. The victim is a dreaded and
influential rival; then he who has perpe-
trated the wrong should be absOlyed
1t is simply an Indecent and disgusting ex-
hihittnu -
