Convertible Bonds.

Few people understand the real mean ing of convertible bonds. Here it is. given by a correspondent A board of directors of a railroad or any corpora
 tion that issues bonds, finding the operation of their property improbable and running them in debt, have the power by explicit statute to thus increase the capital stock of the company, sell it, and apply the proceeds to make up deficiencies and to the payment of divi- dends. It is very easily managed. Find ing they must have money, the board votes to raise it on 1" convertible bonds" One or two bonds are issued for the whole amount, and are immediately converted into stock. Twenty-four hours accomplish the whole thing, and the shareholders wake to read in the morning papers that the capital of their company has been doubled without their knowledge, and that the stock is on the market for sale for what it will bring. Any one familiar with the stock trans actions of the past fifteen years can recall the wrongs perpetrated upon stockholders by the sudden and unex- pected increase of capital stocks.

Advertising Always Pavs

An exchange in noticing the appear ance of 8 daily city paper with sixty seven columns of advertisements goes on to say:
 Now this was in the city of New York, where the sharpest traders on this con- tinent, or any other, can be found. They believe that advertising pays. And the immense revenue accruing to the papers from this source enables the prop1ietors to spend hundreds of thou sands of dollars in collecting news to make their journals what they are. But how widely different is the view taken by many of our slow, easy going people from that entertained by the business men of New York respecting the value of advertising. The former seem to begrudge every dollar paid to news paper for such service, and affect to be- heve that ''i it does no good"-that it is money thrown away. And so instead of contributing in this way to build up frst-class newspapers that might have more extended circulation and thereby better promote their own business in- terests and those of their cities, they allow their papers to languish and to be conducted often at an actual loss to the proprietors.
 We say now-what we have said here- tofore-that there can be no better cri- terion by which to judge of the enter prise and prosperity of any city than that furnished in the advertising col umns of the local newspapers. If these be filled with advertisements of busi- ness houses it proves that there are wide-awake men there doing business, who are endeavoring to do more. They are not content to plod along in the old way, but use every available means to extend their businsss and to build up the community of which they form a part. We say this because we believe it to be truth, and not merely because we want advertising.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Ch:eago Journal states, on the
authority Of State Attorney Reed
that crime has been for the past few
months on the decrease, and cites as
evidence of the truthfulness of the
statement, that at the May term OF
Court only seven persons were ar.
ralgued tor sentence. If this decrease
be attributed to the rigid enforce
ment of the law Of the country, the
hanging Of murderers, and in short
the rigorous dealing out OF Justice, it
may be said to be the good fruit OF
capital punishment.

the issue whether Congress had .
right TO interfere with Territorial at.
