Military Matters.

Denver, Sept. 49, AT the department
of the Colorado the transfer of Gen.
Miles from the department of the Mis-
souri, to the department of the east Gre
ated no surprise, as it was well known
that Gen. Miles aspired for the place and
being the next major-general in rank to
Major General Howard it was naturally
suspected that he would succeed him.
Gen. McCook, of the department of
Colorado, will in all probability be ap-
pointed maj general in Howard's place,
although he will not be transferred from
this department. Gen. McCook retires
April next, SO he will only hold the posi-
tion of major-general about four months.
He has been in the service longer than
any of the brigadier generals and he is
next in order for promotion.

The omcial Goldfish.

That the members. of the Massachusetts
legislature take the oath of office upon
the sacred goldfish is a joke. That they
have heretofore taken the oath under the
official goldfish. and passed all of their laws
in its presence, is a fact with more than a
century OF authentic history to back it up.
The famous Goldfish hangs from the base
of the. dome in the statehouse and inside
the room in which the representatives
have met fol more than one hundred
years. Recently new extension has been
built TO the statehouse. The representa-
tives will occupy room in the extension,
and there is some controversy upon the
question of dislodging the Goldfish from its
old perch and transferring it to the new
hall OF Representative. One faction of the
representatives, the younger members,
wish TO condemn the famous figure to a
future in museum, while the older mem
bers, with reverence for tradition and love
for Goldfish, favor restoring his fishship
to his overlooking position in the house

undiscovered Bank Thieves.

In view of the number of bank defalca-
tions coming to light in New York the
people of that state are beginning to ask
whether the number of undiscovered bank
thieves is not much greater than the num-
Der of those who have been discovered
Only a little while ago it was announced
that bookkeeper of the Shoe and Leather
Bank of New York had assisted in rob-
bling the bank of S3540OO. and now a bond
clerk of the Bank of Commerce of New
York has confessed that he has robbed
that bank of about $4,000. The stealings
of the boolSSeeper extended over a period
Of nine years. and of the bond clerk over
a period Of twenty years And in each in
stance the way was left open to rob the
bank by the system of bookkeeping that
was in use.
How many banks are there in New York
and in other parts OF the country which
have "a faulty system of bookkeeping?
How many are there in which It is as
easy to steal and hide the crime as II was
in the Shoe and Leather Bank and the
Bank of Commerce? These are questions
which bank presidents and bank directors
should think about There must be some
thing very faulty i'm the management of
bank in which one or more of its officials
can steal from 1t for years without being
detected The president and directors of
such a bank are criminally negligent and
there should be law to punish them for
such negligence.
The president and directors of the Bank
of Commerce said they had the utmost
confidence in the integrity of their bond
clerk, and when the bank examiner told
them that their system of bookkeeping
was obsolete, and that there would be
trouble in their bank some day. they
smiled, and said they had confidence in
all of their employees. Confidence is an
excellent thing. but stockholders and de-
positors have much higher appreciation
of safeguards which make stealing prac-
tically impossible.
1t is said that entertainments from New
York banks during the last two years
amount to upwards of 81, 100000. That is
bad showing. And there may be undiscov-
cred crimes which would greatly increase
the amount.
The laws relating to banks should be SO
amended as to impose a heavy penalty
upon the president and directors of a
bank for falling to faithfully discharge
their duties, and bank employees should be
changed frequently from one desk to
another temporarily. so as to serve as a
check upon each other. There are ways
TO check bank embezzlements. 1t is only
necessary for bank presidents and direc-
=, tors to adopt them.

The Freez in Florida.

The reports from Florida, relative TO
the cold wave, are Of the most discour-
aging character. IL Is impossible yet TO
give anywhere neaT a correct estimate Of
the loss which the orange growers ana
truck farmers have suffered. but II will
BE- very large. There must be at least
2001o0 boxes Of oranges on the trees. and
they win be almost total loss. And there
are thousands Of acres of vegetables that
are in an advanced stage Of growth, ow-
ing 10 the very mild weather that pre-
vailed up 10 Christmas. The vegetables
have been killed.
The greatest damage to be appre-
hended. however is that 70 the young
orange groves. The weather during the
great and disastrous freeze of 1856 was
no colder than it was last night. and
in that year whole groves were virtually
destroyed. They looked, few days after
the freeze, as II a fire had swept through
them. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
Florida has not been afflicted by another
such disaster. The extent to which the
trees have been damaged will not be
known for several days-not until the
cold wave has passed.
This freeze will be a set back for Flor
ida. Her people were in a better hnsn-
cial condition than those Of any other
southern state. Their vegetable crops
had been good and they received fair
prices for them, and the orange crop was
large one. The loss of a part of the
orange crop. while it would be regarded
as a serious one. would not have a very
discouraging effect, but If the groves
have been greatly damaged the people.
particularly the orange growers. will be
apt to regard the future with feelings
akin to despair.
But. however great the injury to the
orange trees may be, it is safe to say
it is. not great enough TO check the
orange industry. In 1886 its was said the
orange industry had received set back
from which IT would not recover. That
was a mistake. And those who think
the present freeze will discourage the
planting Of new grove will be mistaken.
The Florida orange is the ocst in the
world and the orange industry in that
state is bound to flourish however great
the difficulties which it encounters may
be.
