An Assistant Chief of Police.
(Staff Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.)


RALEIGH, N. G., May live notice
in the Visitor, of this evening, very
sensible and timely communication re.
commanding the creation of the Office of
Assistant Chief of Police by the Board
of Aldermen. The suggestion strikes
me as one worthy of immediate consid-
Grafton and favorable action, and this
as an eminently fit time for the elec-
tion of such an officer.
Our p..sent Chief is most popular
and efficient officer, but the duties of
the Office are so many and manifold (the
clerical part being especially confning)
that it is almost impossible for Capt.
HeartC to fiud time to be anywhere ex-
cept at the city hail. Now, he needs an
assistant, so that either he or the assist
ant can attend to the supervision of he
force and other matters on the outside
When the Exposition ope~" this fall
there will be many visiting ligh, fingered
three months of the exhibition, and
either the Chief, or competent assist
ant. must pay especial attention to these
c o0ka Chief Heart, or Chief anybouy y
G &c, cannot d. it and attend 10 me OF q

blown from mule some twenty feet ana
the mule was blown into a railroad cut.
Near Lincolnton hail fell five inche,
deep. The rainfall here was go inches

WASHINGTON, D. O., May 13.-Gen.
V. D.. Groner, of Norfolk, Va, in speak
ing of the interest the South, particular
ly Virginia, is taking in the Worlds Fair
at Chicago, said: "My State is showing
great deal of interest in the fair, and
will make handsome exhibit. The peo-
pie are talking about it in every county in
the southwest, and very soon delegates
will be elected toa convention wheresteps
Will be taken to prepara proper exhib
it. The Governor is in thorough accord
with this sentiment, and he will recon-
mend to the Legislature an appropria-
tion. What amount will be appropriate
ed is, of course, to be determined when
the Legislature meets. 1t will not do,
however, to restrict the sum. Virginia
has too much to be proud of in its great
mineral wealth to keep it's light under a
bushel, and fine showing at Chicago,
such as we can make will attract thous-
ands and thousands of dollars, and a
class of immigration such as we need.
ave propose to try to have the Viz
ginia, West Virginia and North Carolina
buildings close together at the fair, so
as to enable the Chesapeake and Ohio
and theRichmond and Danville systems,
which run through those,States, to make
a connected exhibit. These roads have
already begun to prepare for magnif-
cent showing of resources You can de
pend upon it that Virginia will take
every advantage of this opportunity, the
finest that will be presented to her fol
the next fifty years.

A RICH SQUARE MILE.

The Los Angeles Herald says: "Take
six of the principal streets in San Francisco
and the value at which the realty of them
is held when it comes to bOna-fide sales and
the accumulated wealth of their stores
would aggregate more than the entire as
sessment sen: in this year from San Fran
cisco" As the entire assessment of San
Francisco Is very nearly one-third of the
entire assessment of the State it would fol-
low If this statement were correct that
about One-third of the wealth of the State
Is contained IN space not mora than half
mile wide and from two to three miles long
California in area is the second largest State
In the Union. 1t would make three or four
such States as are classed in the first rank
in the East. 1t can support population of
100000 as easily as New York supports
its present population. Its agricultural
land is productive beyond comparison.
There are hundreds of acres OF land in this
State held for productive purposes at $1,000
a n acre A crop worth 500 an acre is of
no means rare occurrence. Fruit. the
best-paying crop in the State, grows from
the extreme southern line to the northern
tier Of counties. Beets in the vicinity of a
sugar factory, and sugar factories can be
brought to beets, will pay at present prices
about $40 an acre. A good many who are
going into this business figure on $50 an
acre, but 1t Is safe to keep at the lower esti-
mate. and yet our Los Angeles friends con-
tend that strip of land in this city which
man may walk around in an hour and a
hall contains about one-third of the prop
erty ofthe State. This we take it is the way
the Board of Eqalization values property
for taxable purposes.

IN FEAR AND TREMBLING.

The character of the attacks upon the
Grand Jury may be inferred from the asser-
ton that Barclay Henley is disqualified
from service as a grand juror. Mr.. Hen
ley has twice been elected to Congress since
This disqualification Of n0n-ciiiZenship was
b-sJ urged against him. He has held other
offices TO which citizens only are eligible.
he has answered all questions as to his cti-
zenshp by quoting from the existing treaty
with Mexico TO the effect that if a citizen
of tile United States naturalized i'll Mexico
Tenews his residence in the United States
without intent to return to Mexico, he shall
be held 10 have Ienounced his naturaliza-
ton in Mexico. This provision seems to
cover Mr.. Henley's case, if he admits that
lie was at one time a Mexican citizen, con-
Corning which there is a question. The
public VIII probably remark that the
Chronicle is more eXacting in Mr. Henley's
case than it was in the case Of its candidate
70. Chief of the horticultural Bureau of the
Worlds Fair. There has. we understand,
been judicial opinion but no judicial de-
cision in respect to Mr.. Henley's citizen
ship. The opinion was favorable to Mr..
Henley. 1t might be well, however, to have
all doubts removed. In the opinion of
-Crimmins' political partner the fact that
Judge Wallace, who is generally believed
10 be pretty good lawyer. did not consider
tile question of MI Henley's citizenship
worth consideration, does not seem con-
elusive. Mr.. Henley is not essential to the
usefulness of the jury. The work can 90
on under the direction of some other of its
able members. The fact appears to be that
the legislative and municipal boodlers are
pretty badly scared. In fear and trembling
they await what the Grand Jury may do.
The morning call., 1891-08-27
BANKING IN CALIFORNIA.

The recent newspaper raid upon the
Pconle's Home Savings Bank has inspired
several correspondents TO protest against
the sacrifice of property which that raid
contemplated. The expression OF opinion
is very emphatic that managers of banks
who conform to all the requirements of the
law should not be exposed to such assaults.
THE CALL fully agrees with its cOrre-
SpOndents in this res rect. A well-conducted
newspaper only warns the public against
bank when it knows the financial condition
of the bank to be unsound. An unwar-
ranted scare causes loss to both parties.
DepositorS who withdraw money they have
no present use for suffer n loss of interest,
and bankers who have planned to use the
money in their hands suffer a loss through
an interruption in their business. The pub
lie has two remedies to apply to such un-
caled-for attacks upon solvent moneyed in
stitutions. One is through the courts, the
other through popular opinion. News
papers which attack banks for a sensation
rarely follow policy after it proves to be
losing one. The banking law of California
has surrounded moneyed institutions with
such safeguards as could be devised. The
public are protected somewhat at the eX-
penSe of capital In the long run, however,
capital gets the benefit of this protection,
as banks are rarely subjected to losses
through the ill-adyised actions of their de-
positors. There is additional strength in
the fact that our banks are on gold basis.
Their depostors are not paid in paper cur
rency of any kind. The depOsitor puts in
gold and draws gold out. The provision in
our banking law making stockholders in
dlvidually responsible for the liabilities of
a bank in proportion to their holdings is
another element of strength In most cases
if the assets of bank should be swallowed
up It's liabilities would be paid dollar for
dollar by the stockholders. The law is de-
signed to force such payment if the stock
holders were not inclined to make it. 1t
is hardly necessary 10 refer to the advan-
tages 10 business generally of safe bank
ing system. Money will the more readily
be invested in industrial enterprises when
investors are practically insured against
financial panics The limitations imposed
upon investments secure something like
uniform conditions in making loans. As
the banks always have money for securities
the law requires the business man knows
about what he can depend upon. A t pres
ent, when there Is more or less well.
founded complaint of dullness in business
circles, there is no lack of money. The
trouble is In providing the class of securi-
ties bankers require and the profitable use
of the money.

JOURNALISM Ar LONG RANGE.

Newspaper readers have been surprised
at noticing the recent change in the heading
of the New York Herald Under the usual
head Of James Gordon Bennett, proprie-
tor" which has figured on the same page
for half century, now appear the names
OF g. G. Howland. general manager; Will

welding power or authority in that institu-
tion but Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, who
lives in Paris.
