SATURDAY, May 29-P. N.

The only encouraging feature which the CONNER
eal situation has presented for the week ending
today has been the still further collapse Of the
speculation in our staple products which, after hay-
Ing successfully checked expectation at critical
moment, and thus accomplished an lncalcuaoie
amount Of mischief to the business Of the country,
Is now forced to see its imaginary profits trans
formed into actual losses by the general and heavy
decline from the prices 70 which this speculation
had forced our products. But even this has come
boo late TO stimulate trade 10 any considerable ex
tent. Business in nearly all us branches
has been as near TO an actual stand
rill as il could well be. if we except the
retail trade in dry goods which, having had
nearly its entire Spring season crowded into the
present month"; has by theextra Inducements Of great
DEDUCTIONS IN prices exhibited good degree OF
activity. The chief event in financial circles has
been the future of the Erie Railway Company with
q capital a;oc.. # $5G,O00,000 and bonded and
floating ind -d1ess OF 500 5000 without taxing
into the Us Liabilities arising from numerous
leases. This event las been only FASTENED, not
brought about by the ruinous railway competition

TAXATION OF CAPITAL BToCK AND DEBTS.
Some tmo ago Judge DnusSMoNp, Of tho
United Statos Circuit Court Of Illinois,
granted injuuctions In number Of ca.lsos
Wherein railroad companies Of this State had
asked that Collectors of taxes bo restrained
from collecting taxes assessed by tho State
Board Of Equalization upon capital stock
md debts duo By the comran;os. Ills opin-
ion was not filed at the tinao, but 1t il now
mado public.
Tho Court points ont the substantial di1cr-
onco, which the Legislature Inns refused to
recognize, between tho capital stock Of d
company, and its shares Of capitnl stock.
The capital stock Of corporation Is hold and
owned In shares by individuals; these sharoa
arc not owned by the company, and are in no
sonse It's property. Tho company can hardly
be taxed fairly and honestly for property it
docs not own, md over which it cannot e1-
orciso any control. Tho franchise may bo a
thing Of yalue, and may DO taxed, but the
Judge inclincs to tho opinion TINT franchise
does not full within that description Of prop
erty which. tho Constitution declares shall be
taxed On valuation 1t belongs to tho other
classification Of objects for ta1ation,
The Court examines the rule adopted by
tue statc Board for tho equalization Of taxes,
by which tho aggregate OF tho debts duo by
tho corporation arc added to tho supposed
valuo Of the capital stock, and their joint ex-
coss over tho assosscd valuo Of the tangible
property made tho taxable value OF tho cap
ital stock. Tie refers to the fact that In many
instances the capital stock iB utterly vnluc-
less; that tho debts exceed the value Of oil
the assets Of the company; and yet the CON-
pany is taxed upon what it owes rs upon
property in actual possession. He declares il
to be incomprohcnsiblo how the debts Of q
corporation can bo added to anything 1t pos
sesscs so as to increase the taxable property
Of tho corporation.
Tho Court also oriticises the law which
finds property Of corporation located in one
county, and distributes tho taxatlou thereon
through ono or moro other counties, md
considers it rreconcilablo with tho State
Constitution.
Tho Court imposes tho iujnnctions rcluct-
antly, because it il compelled to differ from
tho Supreme Court Of tho stato upon these
questions. But regard for justice requires
that the collection be stayed until tlo ques-
tion is finally decided BY the Supreme Court
Of tho United Statcs.

A SIGN AND 1Ts s1ov1F1caNog.

Tho grcnt nnss'meetlnB OF lUu, uuV EAgltsll-

easy, ovon In London, to gathor together
such a multitude OF mon. They did not

honor to Crown, Lorsls, or 'Squircs to tes-
tify to popular devotion to tho public rulers.
Their object WIS to denounco the Courts of
England, tho aristocracy Of England, md NIL
tho English powers tlat be, for keeping
"bntcher.boy," Anrnun OnTos, from stoaling
a grcat landod estate. Thoir object was,
again, to do honor to TINT butcher-boy's law-
yer, DR.. KENE1r, who had alrcaly received
scat In Parliament as part Of tho roward for
his services. This devotion to tho pseudo
ItcHuonNE is curiously illogical. If ho is
tho rightful heir, ho is m aristocrat, who,
once in possession Of his acrca would think

Of tho mud on tho soleH Of his boots be-

straightforward perjury surprising that of
the Brooklyn trial, tried to steal land to
which he had absolutely no claim whatover.
Yet 1t is only rs tho bntcher-boy, "ono Of

Tho Investigation into tho fraudulent loans
placed upon the London market within tho
Inst few years lias led to SONIC unpleasant
revelations about tho manner Of doing busi-
ness on tho London Stock Exchange, The
unearthed remarkable record Of rascality in
relation to tho Honduras loan, and the En-
gliRh press comments upon tho facts with
severity.
It seems TINT certain Gu1IEnnEz, q Liv-
erpool clerk, appeared at London rs " Minis
ter OF tho Republic Of Honduras" At the
samo time, Capt BEDronp PM was author-
lied to " represent tho Government Of Hon.
duraa In nil financial matters IN Europe" )"
This worthy braco wont to work with vigor.
They employed somo contractors to build
railroad In Honduras, aud they then Issued
millions Of bands. This was in 1867. The
Trustees Of the loan wore DAv1Ds, a clerk In
the Office OF one Of the brokers connected
with tho loan, and BARNES, q clerk Of tho rail-
wny-contractors. DARNrs soon died, after
which DAy1ns ran things and took things to
suit himself. "lI!nister" GUTIERREZ kindly
decorated him with the cross Of the "Order
OF tho Rose Of Honduras" This appears to
have beon invented for tho occasion. When
1 matters had gono thus far, the Stock Ex-
change, which Ia supposed to exist for tho
Baka Of preventing rascality. WINS usod to
further It. Tho worst thing about tho matter
! Is, TINT the snma gamo can apparently bo
played over again, dd IT,, whenever worth.

Ring gave broker one hundred guineas, and
that broker, who was member OF tho
Exchange, persuaded the Committee to

Tho township Of Hyde Park In not largo
enough for county, but 1t Is too largo for n
town. 1ts interests arc not homogeneous or
harmonious. It extends from tho southern
city limits almost to tho Indiana State lino,-a
distance OF II miles. Hyto park proper, as
distinguished from Calumet and Wolf Luke,
Ia composed Of Chicago businessmen with
their families who reside there. It Is d
suburban, homo community, with no CON-
merce or manufactures, md dcsiros only
peace md quiet. Tho new territory taken
from Calumet, at tic southern end of the
township, is likely to have population Of @
very different character. Its progress will
depend upon the building up Of manufacture
ing md shipping interests, somo Of Which aro
already fairly started. They will draw
about them totally different class Of

md who will be numerous enough before
long to outvoto the quiet people nearer tho
city limits who have built elegant and costly
homes, Tho only political safety for Hyde
Park In the future is d separation from the
clashing interests of South Chicago, and that
portion Of tho township which will depend
upon ita manufacturing aud commercial in

tricts under one Government is very like
merging tho Sixth Ward, with the peculiar
Bridgeport element, into the Fourth anl Fifth
