Americans Not Favored 10 London.

According TO our neighbors, the
French, we English are a perfdious race.
Whether this opinion with regard to us
Is justified OF not in the main, the Amer
lean colony has some ground now to re-
proach as for being capricious. It is
only year ago that 1t seemed sufficient
to claim American citizenship for Sec
ton Of London society to offer effusive
welcome to even. the most outrageous
adventures from the United States.
The tide has turned, and the American
colony appears to be In as much disfavor
OF present as 1t was the reverse only a
little while ago. Itwas noticed last sea-
son that the American colony was 40
longer 50 prominent as 1t was formerly.
The short season which ended at HON.
burg On Saturday last has brought this
change out into even holder relief. AS
they say tn the money market, There
has been great fall in Americans" At

We recently invited discussion of the
fruit question, as to whst varieties were
best to plant and what varieties to let
alone. So far but one person has given
his experience. We think the question
the most important one before our fruit
growers, and hope it may be discussed
fully and freely. In talking with one
of our most prominent fruit growers
this week he asserted that the question
of what not to plant would take ten
wears to discover. With free inter.
change of opinions this NAV be settled
much more speedily.

The proposition of Secretary Gresham
ito restore LiliuOkalani to the throne of
Hawaii has raised tempest in the
newspaper world. There are many
reasons whyth Secretary's PROPOSE
ton is not practicable. This govern
ment has recognized the provisional
government of Hawaii as the de fdctO
government, has sent two representa-
;tives to it, Blount and Willis, and to
nov attempt to overthrow it would be
practically declaring war on friendly
nation. The present Hawaiian gov
ernment came into power through a
bloodless revolution; its officers are all
either native or naturalized citizens,
and what this country has to do with
fighting the battles of the deposed
queen is past finding out. The theory
is advanced that the United States de-
ssires to right the wrong committed in
;sending marines ashore, but us this was
done only to preserve the peace and
protect property, no wrong can be inn
;puted to this government.

All NA TYSE4CYORY,

The taxpayers of Portland recently
began an investigation for the purpose
of discovering what had become ot the
county money, Their report appended
shows where some of it is at present To-
Gated, and ii also shows that some OF
portland's banks are now running on
the peoples Money;
(" Mr.. Malarkcy was asked
what funds belonging TO the county he
had on hand, and he said $l0t0 in the
general fund and 5000 in the school
fund, The question was asked Mr.
Nlalarkey whether he had any county
funds in any of the banks. He said
not = dollar. He was asked if he did
not have some money that could ho
turned into the school fund. He an
swered that there was no money other
than the $1,000 or 5000.
d" Sheriff Kelley said that he
had not been in the habit of making
out the report that the committee de
manded, We inquired the amount of
funds he had on hand, and he went on
at great length to explain how the
funds got into their present predica-
ment, and showed the receipts for
moneys turned over to the treasurer.
OF the funds which have not been
turned over to the treasurer, Sheriff
Kelly reports Sl6s, ,e227 n in the North

why these funds were not available, to
which he replied he could not check
against them as it would close the
banks. He said that the banks
had promised 10 raise S50,O ,OO0b Deem
bea lst for the school fund.
sheriff Kelly incidentally men
toned that one of the banks carrying
county funds sent $40, COO of the comfy
money to Elleusburg, Wash, to hold
up from insolvency their branch bank
there during the panic.
Upon a second visit to Mr. Malar-
key it was learned that he had some
funds in a local bank. Mr.. Maiurkey
said they were state funds. We asked
him if the state treasurer had receipted
for the money. He said no, but that
there was an understanding between
Mr., Metschan, state treasurer, and Mr.
Lowenberg of the Merchants National
bank, and that every thing was all sat.

The reading was interrupted at this
point by a unanimous roar from the as.
sembly. The report concluded thus
Mr.. Malarkey was as,.ed - to the
amount of the state funds, and replied
Sl2l, 900. He was asked if any arrange
ments had been made with the bank
for the payment of s per cent interest
that the county was paying on the
warrants unredeemed because Of the
money in the bank. He said that
question had not been raised. Then
the committee ventured the remark
that the people had already raised the
question:. u.

City Treasurer Krug of Seattle, who
fed to the East when it was discovered
that he had loaned the city funds to
private individuals, was not posted
He should have taken a few lessons
from the Multnomah county officials.
Had he done so he would have loaned
the money to the banks instead of to
individuals, and this would have proved
entirely satisfactory to the taxpayers.
Sheriff Kelly and Treasurer Malarkey
were much shrewder business men.
They loaned county money to the
banks in the sum of S420, 900, and calm
ly tell the taxpayers that 'everything
is satisfactory" Had this money been
loaned to private individuals, Kelly
and Malarkey would long since have
been arrested, but the rights of bank
ing corporation are so sacred that pass
ing over the peoples money to it is
"perfectly satisfactory"
