If it be true, as it ii reported, that
President Harrison, will not consent to
the appointment of Mr. Simon to the
federal judgeship of the ninth district,
notwithstanding all tha pressure that
has been brought to bear upon him by
the Oregon delegation, the decision
redowns very much to tke credit of the
president. It ehows that Mr. Harrison
brings conscience to bear upon the mak
ing of his appointments and that no
amount of partisan service will atone
for the lack of the higher qualities that
ought to adorn the judicial bench. Mr.
Simon is a staunch republican and an
able lawyer but President Harrison, it
would seem, does not consider these
sufficient. If Mr. Hiraon's political
methods, successful though they may
have always been, were less shady, less
- liable to just criticism and more con
sistent and honorable, there cannot be a
doubt he would have captured the
judicial prize. The action of Mr. Haw-iron
is only an incident in the official life
of a president who has made fewer mis
takes in his appointments than any
other president since Abraham Lincoln.
-.The announcement of Mr, Blaine that
be will not be a candidate for the presi
dency at the next election will effect
thousands of his friends and admirers
with a keen sense of personal regret.
No other name in the ranks of the re
publican party has such a multitude of
enthusaistic and devoted followers. No
other name is dreaded half so much by
the democracy. A second time he
refuses that which he might have had
for the asking and the sad presumptions
remains that he will never fill the seat
of, honor to which so many of his
countrymen would have delighted to see
him exalted.
The Hood River Glacier - says a coffin
factory is atxnit to be started at that
place. Since the Chronicle has read
the resolutions of the Hood River demo
cratic club it has been wondering if the
Glacier really means a real live coffin
factory, so to speak, or if the facetious
editor merely used this form of speech
to indicate that the club intends to pre
pare a numerous lot of candidates for
political interment against the ides of
June.
Ia Crlppe Plagae In Londuu.
So prevalent and fatal is the influenza
in London that all the' Surrey church
yards'are as full of new made graves as
if a battle had just been fought in the
neighborhood.1 Grave-diggers are kept
at work all night and hearses are to be
seen going and coming at all hours.
Tbe majority of deaths are among older
people. Like Job's comforters physic
ians are now predicting that next year
will bring "cholera. 'The chief medical
director of a leading life insurance com
pany says that influenza' has cost ' the
company more loss in the last two years
than did the sholera in 1843. . He . fur
ther ..remarks; . ;inr every: country, in
Europe local outbreaks of cerebro-spinal
meningetis has followed In its wake and
have destroyed over ninety per cent.' of
those attacked, and I see no reason why
this disease might not at any time .throw
off its comparatively benign character
and appear in it true malignity to cast
terror and consternation among the ' na
tions of the earth." -
Kusala at flarseir Again.
Worse than the famine news from
Russia is the announcement that meas
ures are to be initiated fori the 'restora
tion of serfdom. ' .The. reason given, for
, the retrograde movement is that the
land allotted to the local comniuaals is
not sufficient to supply the wants of "the
"rapidly; multiplying population. It is
proposed to allot, vast tracts of land .to
tbe peasants to' be occupied-under serf
tenure,' one third of "the crop to be used
for their support, another third; for the
payment of local debts to the state, and
the remaining third to. pay government
taxes. The occupants, will be bound to
the soil. - It is said that the trial will be
-made in two or three provinces, and if
successful the system -will be generally
extended.' . : -.. -
The many admirers of Luther Benson
will read the following, which we clip
'from the Eugene Guard, with much re

. A few months ago Luther Benson lec
tured in Eugene on temperance. - He
was a magnetic, eloquent speaker, and
here told how he hud been unable to re
it't.tbe drink habit, onco a year falling
before it. He returned East )o his Home
in Indianapolis, and in a dispatch of
January 26, the result is told as follows :
L,utner lien son, having just returned
from a temperance tour m Washington,
Oregon and California, wound up in a
terrible drunken spree tonight and was
taken to tbe sprlugneia v iwunkaras

The Spread of Inflatau.
'' The outbreak of influenza is spreading
fast, with its customary concomitant of
highly increased mortality from res
piratory affections.' In J tbe metropolis,
for bne'week, thirteen.' deaths were at
tributed primarily, to .influenza, the total
death rate being 19.9 per 1,000, or slight
ly less than the preceding week. ' It may
be noted that the death rate at Plymouth
for tjhe week ending Nov.' 28 was 88.3;
or precisely double what it was three
weeks previously.' There has also been
. rise in the death rates of Newcastle-on-Tyne
and Sunderland. Influenza con
tinues to be very prevalent in Scotland;
it has appeared . in a . severe form at
Bandy, one of the isles of .Orkney. ' In
Glasgow it is said that it has never been
so widespread and severe as at the. pres
ent time, and almost the same is true of
Edinburgh. In both places the resources
of ' the profession have been severely
taxed. ' ' ;
Abroad the accounts are of . like im
port. . At Berlin it has. been prevailing
during the past month. It. has been
very severe at Hamburg and Dusseldorf,
and is also spreading rapidly in the Sile
sian' provinces and Schleswig-Holstein.
It has appeared again in Paris, where
Professor Brouardel has stated that ' it
was responsible for 100 deaths during
one week. .The Australian mails bring
accounts of the deaths of several promi
nent Melbourne citizens f f om influenza,
and our New Zealand correspondent
also' speaks of its" prevalence. London

. Death In a Big; City. '
The shadows of metropolitan life could
scarcely have a more ghastly illustra
tion than in the case of the corpse of the
old man at a Greenwich Bireet window
staring into the windows of the elevated
cars for two days, the butt of the train
men's Christmas time humor. . A little
while before was . the killing and man
gling' of another man on the elevated al
most immediately opposite a window
where sat his wife and child looking in
nocently put and wondering who it was
being carried away under the protecting
blanket.
We are wont to look upon the extraor
dinary situations created by the novelist
and playwright with satirical severity,
but the pen of Sue, Dumas,' Dickens and
of a' host of imitators never conjured up'
from imaginations vivid . with research
and ' practical observation a more pa
thetically impressive picture than is. pre
sented in the dead man at the Greenwich,
street window. , . Yet such . things are so
common in JNew York that .they are
swallowed up in the great maelstrom of
metropolitan events forgotten in, a day.

HOW FRENCH BANK BILLS ARE MADE.

ItThe sheets are packed in - bundles cV
Mnmttahj)pk
As "witirthe blank' paper, the bills; in
4fe)fy.sagT of fabrication; jafe to charge
sofdal.'whoj fmust account fox
every one which has come into his hands;
either by showing it, or a receipt given
for it by the official to whom he has
landed it over.. As. the bank has some
times pxmtedl 400ipo0 bills day, andk a
such periods employs about 400 persons
in tbe printing - department, strict ac
counts are necessary to prevent loss, and
an elaborate system of humbugging and
checking is used.
, A series of. bills consists of 1,000, which
are numbered from 1 to 1,000, and twen
ty-five series, lettered A, B, O, etc., and
tied up together, under the name of an
"alphabet." After each operation, the
bills are verified by women, -who sign
their names on the baud placed around
the bundles . As there are rune opera
tions, there must be nine verifications,
and the final verification is repeated,. by
a fresh set of inspectors, so that nothing
can be overlooked. After the. bills are
complete they are delivered to the secre
tary of tjie bank, who examines them
and gives a receipt for them, discharging
the bead of the printing department from
further responsibility. - They are - then
placed in the vaults and are withdrawn
for issue only by order of the governors
of the bank.
The principal difficulty in regulating
the accounts comes from the defective
bills. No bill is allowed to pass the in
spectors which shows a spot, an uneven
margin, a defect in printing or any other
imperfectipn, and. the bills thrown out
niusV be recorded in the lxoks with quite
as much accuracy as those which pass
successfully to' the final stage. Every
bill rejected by the inspectors is stamped,
and its place in the series, filled by a
check.. The stamped bills go; to the sec
retary of the bank who puts them un
der lock, and key, and. new' bills, corre
sponding to the checks' are printed, and
credit is .given to the paper manufactory
for the paper necessary to make these.
' The accounts of the " "faulted' bills
are carried through the books and : for
verification the stamped .bills . them
selves are kept for five, years. ..At the
end, of that time, if there has been no
question about themj the regents of the
"bank, the secretary, the examiners, the
chiefs of the' printing department, and
the chiefs of the department of bill ac
counts join in signing an order! in purr
suance of which they are taken from the
vaults and destroyed. Le Genie Civile.
Profits of Sleeping Cars. ,'
An operating official who knows con
siderable about sleeping cars, their cost
and profit remarked:' "Sleeping cars pay.
big inone" and when one knows the
cost of operating ' them, it is no wonder.
A new car costs, good, strong and mod
ern., anyway from $3,000 to $10,000, al
though you. hear of them worth twice
that sum., However, those " costly cars
don't' get outside the'shops. Well, the
railroad corujanies pay three cents ' a
mile for the privilege Of haulinsr them.
and the car will average 300. miles in
twenty-four hours the year round, or
nine dollars a day earnings. Say it only
earns .$3,000 a year, a low. estimate, it
will pay. for itself in three years. . .
Now a ten section car has twenty
berthSv selling local at two dollars a
berth," making the earning capacity per
night forty dollars, not counting the day
earnings.. Of. course sleepers xhrn't carry
full loads, .every night, but if they .did
not, average ten passengers, a day we
would not haul them on our road.. Now.
we pay for ice,"; water ."and fuel, and in
sure the cars that is, we repair them
when wrecked or injured. ; The sleeping
car company pays a porter twenty-hye
dollars amonth at the most, a conductor
ninety dollars and has . to . furnish . linen
and soap. . It is not difficult to see how
the sleeping . car companies pay divi
