OF all the fair land it has long wandered
through.
There's q spot il would fain leave no more,
Where \ long Oclly isle cuts its water in two,
And the rush of the rapids is DER.
This was Black Hawks domain. here he fol-
lowed the chase:
Here the Sacs and Foxes once strayed.
And the wandering Indian still finds the place
Where the bones of his fathers were laid.
Though three cities rise here. apparently one,
And the htlltOps on each side are crowned
With beautiful homes, here, from rising of
sun
Until evening rare visions abound
OF the rivers broad vale, long may Daven-

Looking over the picturesque scene,
To the shore where her sisters smile back, hand

Inasmuch as Washington is not generally
regarded as city of great business activi-
ties. and as there are not many citizens
of great wealth, It will probably surprise
most readers to learn that the individual
deposits in our national banks are exceeded
by those of only twelve other cities in the
Union. OF course New York stands first
IN the list. with 500, 100000 on deposit:
Boston comes next. with S1O1. OOO. 900: Phila-
delphia ranks third. with $S9,OOO,OOO, while
Chicago has $G6OO0,OOO. Curiously enough,
Pittsburg, with considerably less popula-
tion. outranks Baltimore by s7.OO0,OOO. the
former city having $31 100000, while the
latter has only $24,OOO,OOO. Cincinnati and
Cleveland. the two leading Ohio cities, tie
each other, with $19.OOO.OO0 apiece. st.
Louis, that used to fondly talk Of herself
as the rival Of Chicago, falls below both the
Ohio cities, having only S1SOOO,OOO. Mil
waukee and New Orleans have $17.0OO.0O0
end $16.OOO,O0O. respectively. Brooklyn
comes next. with $14OOO,OOO. Washington
shows a deposit Of $4,000, 900, which is
equaled by that of Detroit and Kansas
City. Omaha and st. Paul are a tie at
sS,OO0OOO, while Minneapolis which claims
to be much more enterprising and prosper
Gus than her next door neighbor has but
100000. But, even more surprising than
the creditable showing of Washington, Is
the poor exhibit made by San Francisco,
the commercial and manufacturing en-
porlum of the Pacific coast, whose national
banks are credited with only $1,000, 600
None of the other cities on the Pacific coast
IS reported as having so much as $1,000 900,
which leads to the inference that they
play a pretty strong bluff financial game
out in those regions.

1t is likely that II the Commissioners had
declared that no fenderless street cars
should be allowed to run in the District
after the first of April, instead of afixing
a money penalty for noncompliance with
their reasonable and necessary order. the
rapid transit lines would today be fully
equipped. The stoppage of few cable
trains or suburban trolley cars and the
subsequent reduction Of the revenue would
doubtless bring the dilatory companies to
terms. This is the third day of April The
order has not yet been met by compliance
from any of the roads. The cars Of the
Washington and Georgetown system have
an angular wheel-guard and those Of the
Columbia road have guard that appears
to be trifie better. Neither road has
adopted pickup fender. Therefore these
and other roads are now indebted to the
District in the sum of s75 for each car on
the schedule. Will the money be collected
or will the fine be RENTED on the excuse
that the companies did not have enough
time? The fender question has been agi-
tated ever since rapid transit was intro
duced In this city. 1t has been discussed in
the newspapers and in Congress. The COM
panies have know. for many months that
sooner or later they must equip their cars
with approved styles of life preservers. The
Commissioners long ago-lcng enough ago
to give enterprising, earnest men every
chance to make proper arraEgements-laid
down the rule In no uncertain language,
and today. II appearances count for aught,
they might as well have written their order
in water or talked 1t into the alleged aque-
duct tunnel. Perhaps things have been
said and done under cover of that official
secrecy which has prevailed for some
weeks at the District building, to the utter
disgust of all good citizens, which. If
known. would justify the roads in their re-
bellious attitude, or the Commissioners in
their negligent leniency. But what public
evidence of earnestness in the matter is
gwen by either railroads or Commission
eIs? What public guarantee is there to-
day that the railways will obey or that the
Commissioners will enforce the order?
What steps have been taken to compel the
roads to comply, or, In the event of per-
sistent noncompliance. to mulct them for
every PENN of the just penalty that at
