A BANK CASHIERS CRIME.


Very few bank cashiers In Utah
have gone down In dinlrsoe. Very
few OF them, indeed. comparatively
speaking, have appropriated to their
own use the funds Of the institution
that trusted them aud gave them EN-
ployment. hbsoonding olerkF, de-
faulting telleis and dishonest employees
have been almost unknown TO the
banking system OF this Territory, and
that fact has been the proud boast Of
many q Utah business man.
A case, however, has just come TO
light In TINS city which appears to be a
sad exception 10 this general rule. II IL
found In the arrest Of Geo. &. Tyre,
who for the past ak Year, has been In
the employ Of Walker Bros, the last
three acting M paying teller NJ the
Bank Of Commerce, on Second South
street.
on Tuesday afternoon Of this week
the surprising discovery was made
that Tyre was short In his cash aud
that his accounts had been "doctored."
tis said that the missing money IL
made up mostly OF silver, amounting
~ far as known, TO about sss5. When
accused of his peculaiuns Tyre II
said to have conie.sed his crime, xiv.
log particulars over the whole period
OF abstraction.
Tyre came here from Canada
and doubtless would have gone
back to that haven OF
deiauliers at the fret opportunity.
He IL under $1,000 bond with tho
Niessrs. Walker, furnished by the
Guarantee Company Of North Amer.
les, with headquarters NJ Montreal.
That company has been notified that
Il must make goO1 the loss. Iho
arrest WAS made secretly and quietly
by the police on Tuesday night, but no
entry was made on the record thereof
nor was there the slightest intimatlOn
made regarding u yesterday until a
very lAte hour. He has been pfis1us

IN CONGRESS.

The Hawaiian question has occupied
much attention in the senate the past
week. Senator Davis of Minnesota hurls
accusation a t President Cleveland and
Senator Turpie severely scores Minister
Stevens Thursday.
The debate on Hawaiian affairs was
continued in the senate Friday. In the
house the tariff bill was debated by Con-
gresham Everett, Black, Simpson and
Pendleton. 1t was annouced that Mr..
Reed would close the tariff debate for
the republicans on Saturday, the 9th
inst. Mr.. Wilson, the chairman of ways
and means committee, will perform a
similar service for the democratic major
ity on Monday, the Doth. The vote on
the bill will be taken on the 3Oth.
The Hawaiian correspondence was sent
to congress Saturday with a special
message from President Cleveland an
nouncing the contents of the dispatches.
Among the dispatches was an interview
between Minister Willis and the queen,
a scathing letter to Willis from Presi-
dent Dole of the provisional government
and Secretary Gresham's last instruc-
tons to Willis. The senate was not in
session Saturday.
The principal business of the senate
Monday was the consideration of the
Hornblower nomination for supreme
court justice. BY majority of six votes
the confirmation was prevented, to the
great satisfaction of Senator Hill who
led the attack on Mr.. Hornblower. The
republicans mostly abstaiued from vot-

A VERMONTER IN IOWA.

c. D. Otis of Des Moines Iowa,
writes the CALIFORNIAN very pleas
antly concerning Iowa as follows {:
To US Vermonters the weekly visits of
your paper are most welcome and cheer
ing. 1t is to us as the coming of an old
and familiar friend most gladly well
coined by US all. It's coming seems to
bring us nearer to the old home and
hearthstone and familiar scenes of our
earlier years, in the ever dear old Green
Mountain state. For nearly thirty
years l have been resident of grand
Iowa. a state of marvellous agricultural
resources and wonderful development
and which cannot be readily compre-
hended by most Eastern people especial
ly those who are not familiar with the
West. Our climate is hardly excelled by
any state north or south. This winter
ii it can be called winter, is like fine
Indian summer. No snow to speak of
and warm and pleasant all the time.
can hardly convey to you an ade-
quate idea of the mildnees and salubrity
OF our present winter and a hard winter
in this state is an exception to a rule.
Plenty OF rain and no excess, a very rich
soil and mostly pleasant sunny weather,
insures to us each year bOuntiful har-
vest. Then again the financial strin-
gency and hard times have effected us
much less than in the more eastern and
manufacturing states. l venture the
assertion that in no state is there less
want and suffering per capita than in
Iowa. Very much OF her surplus pro-
ducts go to feed the hungry millions of
the more eastern states. Her people are
intelligent, industrious and temperate
and intensely patriotic, loyal and largely
republican. Our legislature is now in
session in one of the finest and grandest
state capitols in the Union. Our young
and ilustrious citizen, Frank D. Jackson,
has just been inaugurated governor,
amid the greatest enthusiasm of admir-
ing thousands. for Jackson is a native
son of Iowa. Born and reared in pow
erty, Injured to deprivation and hard
ships in early life, he has risen grandly
from these hard surroundings and
achieved honor from position and the
respect and love of all Iowans and the
admiration of all who like to see merit
rewarded.
My wife's father, James Townsend,
late of Sheffield, took the first number of
the CALIFORNIAN published and ever since
it has been a welcome visitor at our
