II is reported that in the near future an

The report was in circulation last week
that the L. & NJ Co. had secured an en-

A court Of inquiry was held last Sunday
at Evansville, to ascertain who was to
blame for smashing up of a few cars 10
the Darlington yard one day lately
Accidents will sometime occur in the
yard here. but we venture the assertion
that in no yard do they handle more cars
than here with as few mishaps, which
speaks well for our yard crews.
Quite number of the railroad boys
took an active part in the picnic held
here last Saturday by the A. o. U. w.

making the affair the success II was.
Foreman L. II. o'Brien has of late
been making some improvements in the

Directors Who Don't Direct.
Examiners Who Don't Examine

At intervals OF three months
every National Bank forwards to
the Controller in Washington a
statement of it's condition, sworn
to by three of its directors and its
cashier
Yet subsequent events show
many of these statements TO be un-
true as in the case of the Shoe &
Leather Bank in New York, which
proved to be S346, 600 out of the
way And these defalcations and
suspensions occur often imme-
diately after the Bank Examiner
has certified to the correctness of
the accounts Then il usually
takes several expert accountants
days, and sometimes weeks to as
certain the standing of a Bank that
the Examiner inspected in a few
hours. A committee of the direct
ors usually spends half a day in
handling and adding up the amount
of securities, bills receivable, and
cash on hand-to which is added
the amount which the clerks say is
owing from Banks with whom they
transact business. From this ! is
deducted the amount which the
clerks say is due to ether Banks and
to depOSifOrS.
1t is in the Justification of these
two accounts that most of the de-
falcations, have been concealed.
Unless a committee of the direct
ors has constant daily supervision
of these weak spots, no bank
be safe in sending its report, and
few if any incur that expense. If
the examiner made thorough and
expert investigation when going
his rounds there wsuld be but few
months in which to jugglc with the
books.

Looking Ahead.

the order is not revocable.
Although the order may be is
sued by this administration, it may
lay dormant until the next; while
the list of applicants will be on

Hence the recent orders extending
the service, which will have the ef-

Trustees of Cincinnati cannot issue
bonds to refund the maturing 4 per

In the matter Of cotton goods the
import Of raw material has in
creased immensely in order to sup

number OF spindles doubled from
1898 10 1894, advancing from one
quarter of q million to half a mil

A Significant Departure.

when a review is made of the condit-

some thought be given to the physical
body which enables everyone to bat
tie with life's problem and figure for
themselves the profit or loss on the
trial balance sheet. Though the bank
account may be large and each ones
material gain be great, it would not
be surprising if it suddenly dawns
upon many that good health has been
greatly impoverished by the low.

state that the Tactic acid in the vital
fluid attacks the ferrous tissues, par
ticularly the joints, making known
the local manifestations of rheuma-
tism. Thousands of people have

great blood purifier, a positive and
permanent cure for rheumatism.

The Chinese in the Hawaiian
Islands must have improved by
transplanting from their own coun-
try. We have very large number
OF their children in the public
schools and considerable number
attend private schools. No such
ideas seem TO gain credence among
them as are reported from Hong
Kong, where last year most OF the
schools were emptied like a fash
owing TO a rumor that the Govern
ment had resolved, in order to stop
the plague, to select few children
from each school and to excise
their livers in order to provide the
only remedy which would cure
plague patients! A few years ago
there was z similar clearance OF
the schools upon report that the
Government was going TO select a
girl from every school to be buried
alive in order to ensure the success
OF an aqueduct. Certainly our
Chinese know better than this.

THE choice OF legal gentleman
to fill the position made vacant by
the death Of Judge Bickerton is
now before the Cabinet. One sug-
gestion is to advance Judge Frear
and fill the bench by the elevation
of Judge Whiting now OF the Cir
cult Court. The name OF Judge
Cooper, now Minister OF Foreign
Affairs, is also mentioned as posi-
BILE appointment. There are many
very capable men at the bar who
would make very excellent judges,
but lawyer in full practice hest
tates to throw up what is go lucra-
tive for the modest income that We
can afford to pay our judges. An
other appointment to be made is
that in the Circuit Court. Judge
Magoon Is anxious to return 10 MS
private practice. For the position
the name Of Alfred Garter is men
toned. Mr.. Carter is well quail
fed for the position. Then there
is Judge Antoine Perry who has
done admirable work as Police
Justice. Though young, he has
shown good common sense and
strong decision OF character, which,
with a good legal knowledge, are
very valuable in a Judge. The
Cabinet and appointing power
should not find it difficult to choose
able, hard working and conscien-
tious men TO fill these positions
and satisfy al in the community
except dyed in the wool partizans.

which Time is tripping over with

ever, and died a quiet death within

IAN MACLAREN," as the Scotch
clergyman who has written such
charming idylls Of Scottish life
calls himself, has fallen under the
displeasure OF the Southwestern
Presbyterian for introducing the
subtle poison OF humanitarian
ism" into his stories. He takes
otfense at the character Of DR..
Mcclure in Beside the Bonnie
Briar Bush because with all his
kindness Of heart and nobleness OF
character he was not a professor
OF religion or even an attendant at
church" But the worst exam
pie" he finds in the story Of Lilly
Grant whose dying hours are made
happy and content by the decep-
ton practiced upon her by the low
ing, tender hearted Jamie Soutar.
The story has drawn tears from
eyes wherever the English language
Is read and yet this true blue
pedant can see nothing in it save
the very doctrine taught unbIush-
ingly by Jesuit casuists that one
may steal or lie for the greater

DEVELOP OAHU.

The capitalists OF Honolulu
should bestir themselves. The
island OF Oahu needs developing rs
much as any island in the group
Honolulu is not all Oahu; ii needs
something back of it to keep the
city going. The valleys and Hat
lands OF this island are capable OF
supporting a large population and
OF producing fine crops. The sue
cess Of the Eva and kahuku plan
tations, with their cane, should IN
spire others TO invest in Ike enter
prises. Both these places, a few
years ago, were but grazing lands,
over which a few herds OF cattle
roamed. Now they are raising five
to six tons OF sugar per acre. We
understand that figures for 4 pump
ing plant for the proposed planta-
ton between Eva and Waiawa are
much lower than was at first esti-
mated. We are told that such a
plant can be obtained for 100000
less. Such Z plant will give a
practically inexhaustible supply OF
water, and enable the planter 10
defy the seasons.
The coffee at Waianae is as fine
as any on the islands, and there are
dozens OF valleys which could be
utilized for the cultivation OF coffee.
The pineapple and fruit industry
at Eva is now proving success,
and Eva is by no means the only
place on the island OF Oahu where
fruit can be cultivated to advantage
and with success. To give these
an impetus cheap and
convenient transport is needed.
The success OF the Oahu railroad so
far shows what convenient trans
port will do. The business OF that
road is increasing month by month
and will continue to do so as new
lands are put into cultivation.
This line should be pushed round
the northwest end of the island
and tap the two Koolaus. What .
We want TO do is to keep a good
percentage Of the immigration in
,ur valleys, TO induce settlers to
axe up lands here. No one wants
