| 1t is safe to say that all the possibilities
of successfully impeaching the conduct OF
the street department were exhausted In
the recent investigation. Instigated as
the inquiry WAS largely by personal
hostility there was present the strongest
of motives Tor hunting up and parading
all its sins of commission or omission.
Yet after a search extending over several
months the only charges that have been
shown to have any foundation in fact
whatever are that the superintendent of
streets has been known to use profane
language under provocation, that he has
kept two night watchmen at work twelve
hours, that he has given away few
barrels of sand to private persons to
sprinkle on slippery sidewalks and
swept two wharves which were not
strictly public property. Not single
one of the charges involving a suspicion
Of corruption was sustained. On the
contrary every one of them was complete
ly disproved. The Investigation was
prompted entirely by the hope and expec-
tation that the department would be dis
credited. 1t disappointed its projectors by
showing that the department was re-
narkably free even from little faults.

The November report of the statistician
of the Department of Agriculture gives
1877 bushels as the average yield per acre
of corn, according to the preliminary re-
turns of the departments correspondents.
The average yield of buckwheat is 20.7
bushels per acre while that of nay is LAP
tons per acre. against an average OF 1.2l
tons per acre for the last fifteen years.
The harvest is too remote to permit any
very confident prediction as to the final
outcome though the crop reports from
India, Argentina and Australasia con-
tinue favorable. There is nothing to in
dictate that the wheat shortage in Europe
is any less than has been supposed, while
the crop of Manitoba is now reported to
be much below the official estimate is
sued in August, and that of the Canadian
Northwest Territories has also proved
disappointing.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

''In remembrance Of Gods goodness to
US during the past year which has been
SO abundant, let US offer unto Him our
thanksgiving and pay our vows unto the
Most High. Under His watchful provi
denee industry has prospered, the con-
ditionS of labor have been improved, the
rewards of the husbaudman have been in
creased and the comfors of Cur home null
tiplied. His mighty hand has preserved
peace and protected the nation. Respect
for law and order has been strengthened,
love of free institutions cherished and all
sections of our beloved country brought
into closer bonds of fraternal regard and
generous cooperation.
For these great benefits, it is our duty
to praise the Lord in a spirit of humility
and gratitude and to offer up to Him our
most earnest supplications. That we
may acknowledge our obligations as a
people to Him, who has so graciously
granted US the blessings of free govern
ment and material prosperity, l, William
Mckinley, President of the United
States, do hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the Twenty-fifth Day Of
November
for national Thanksgiving and prayer.
which all of the people are invited to OBJ
serve with appropriate religious services
in their respective places of worship.
On this day of rejoicing and domestic
reunion, let our prayers ascend to the
Oliver of every good and perfect gift for
the continuance of His love and favor to
US that our hearts may be filled with
charity and good will, and that we may
be ever worthy of His benefcent concern.
In witness whereof, have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.

business of the bank, can steal a good
deal of money in this way, and conceal
the theft for long time. This danger
has been recognized for years, but
apparently few steps have been taken to
guard against it. The only safeguard
is in some way to provide for
a comparison of the depositors' books with
the banks ledger by some other party
than the one who is constantly in the
bank. In the small banks, and
that is where danger of this kind
of fraud turks chiefly, suoh comparison
would not seem to present any insuper-
able difficulties. The directors could
easily, it would seem, get in enough of
the books once year to reveal any such
discrepancies If they existed. 1t might
give them some trouble, but men who
voluntarily assume the control and dis
position of other peoples money ought to
be willing to put themselves to some
trouble to see that it Is not stolen. In
deed 1t would seem as if they were under
pretty strong moral obligation to take
not only little trouble, but good deal
II necessary.

The SO called investigation of the de.
partment of public works is over. and 1t
is safe to say that erybody concerned
IN it is glad, not excepting perhaps
the doughty gentleman from Ward 3,
who was prosecutor, witness and judge,
all three at one and the same time. The
originators Of the inquiry had two pur-
poses-one to discredit the commission,
and thesother to crafty personal feeling.
The people that harbored the first motive
kept themselves out of sight as much as
possible, merely encouraging the valiant
alderman OF Ward 5, who liked the COM
mission little and Superintendent Staples
less. Everybody must admit that no one
could have conducted the assault with
more vigor and determination. or with
less slavish subserviency to law and fact
than did Mr.. Rounds. No pent up Utica
home whether as q detective working
among the disgruntled teaTnsters and
watchmen and encouraging them to
"spit out" all they knew and many
things that they guessed at; or as prose
outing attorney developing with intense
dramatic force and fervor and In pictur-
esque language the strong points of the
case; or as witness, soaring with ex-
pansive wings into the regions of things
that people could have testified to, but
didn't; or as judge, calmly sweeping
aside. much as Staples swept aside the T.
d. pipe in the Transfers mouth, the
fabric of law and fact which the attorney
for the defence had woven around his
client, and pronounoing verdict upon
the intuitions that welled up with ire
sistible force from his own inner moral
consciousness.
That the assault failed was not Mr..
Rounds's fault, but was due to the con-
ventional notions weakly entertained by
five of his judicial brethren that a
court is bound to pay some attention to
the evidence, and that swearing under
proyocation may be a pardonable offense.
Mr.. Rounds was stea1fast to the end and
though the ardor of his enthusiasm as a
crusader against Staples and corruption
may be temporarily dampened, we have
no doubt that brief season of commu
MON with his constituents in Ward will
fire his heart with all it's old fervor. and
stimulate him to renewed endeavor.

To an inquiry of a prominent savings
bank manager how the treasurer OF Luz
bee bank was able to steal $500 from a
bank whose total deposits had never
risen much over $4,000, the reply was
that in all probability the money which
the treasurer stole was never actually In
the bank at all That is to say, part of
the money left by the depositors was never
credited on the banks ledger, though of
course it was all credited on the deposit
tors books The treasurer stole it direct
from the depositor. Or course there was a
fatal variance between the depositors
books and the banks ledger which
would reveal the theft, but IN small
banks the treasurer is likely to be the
only person to see the depositors' books,
inasmuch as he generally has no assistant
and transacts oil the business alone. The
bank examiner has never undertaken to
call in the books for comparison. Indeed
it would be impossible for him to do so
on any extensive scale. It will be seen.

The Illinois Supreme Court has decided
that county officers must receive only
their salaries, leaving the employees in
the departments to look to the county
board for their wages. For years these
officers have kept all the fees on the pre-
text of using the money to pay the help
and at the end of the year have turned
into the country treasury as much or as
little as they pleased. The fee system is
vicious one. nay more it is in most
cases corrupt one, and the example set
in Illinois might. be initiated in other
sections to the material advantage Of tax
payers, not to mention its salutary' effect
