TuE Register having espoused the idea Of
making fancy railroad surveys at the ex.
pense Of the State, wishes to class the
necessary appropriations for carrying
them out alonGwith appropriations for the
State institutions. Therefore when we
ask where Is the authority for either
creating debt or leVying o tax for rail.
rosdsurveys, itretorts by asking us, Where
is your authority for appropriations for
the public institutional This sort Of argu.
ment Is a mere come of. We have
already referred to the fact that the public
Institutions are not only recognized in the
Constitution Of the State, butthey were the
property Of the State prior to the adoption of
the present Constitution. The seventeenth
section Of the seventh article Of the Con.
stItuton reCites in plain language that
"the subordinate officers OF the Executive
department, and The officers Of all public in.
MlutiOnSOfhe State, shall keep an account
Of all moneys received or disbursed by
them" And again in the eighteenth Sec
tiou, 1t Is prescribed that "the Governor
may at any time require information in
writing, under oath, from the officers Of
his department, and all officers and man
ayers Of State institutions, upon any sub.
iect relating to the condition, management
and expenses Of their respective Offices"
No one can mistake the import Of this
language, 1t recognizes and contemplates
appropriations Of money to certain institu.
tions Of the State, and although II does
not specify any Of them by name yet 1t
logically includes them all. On the other
hand, the language Of the Constitution in
the 4th, 9th and 9th sections Of the tenth
article, all go to convey the idea that the
State intended to avoid as far as possible
anything in The shape Of entangling alli.
anCo with public improvement schemes.
We do not mean TO say that the State
might not appropriate surplus money in
the treasury for some purposes for which
itCoud notlevy a tax or create a debt, but
it is quite certain that the Constitution
did not contemplate going outside Of the
money on hand to engage in the business
Of borrowing or taxing for railroad pur-
poses. ...-.,.
Aside from all these considerations,
everybody knows that this State has not
money TO pay her debts; that she is heav.
lily in arrears to the school fund; that
under the Constitution she Is bound to
make immediate provision for the pay.
ment Of the money out Of which the Dem
ocratiC party have wronged the schools Of
the State, and that in order to do this she
must increase taxation. Therefore II Is no
time to talk about wild goose railroad sur.
veys.

New YoRE, February 4.-Captain J..
MULTI, the famous sea.lion catcher, has
arrived in this city from San FranCisco.
The Captain did not bring his usual assort.
ment OF sea.lions this time, He had an ele.
phant on his hands. Unlike other people In
the same situation, the Captain knows iust
what to do with it. The elephant, q
medium sized quadruped OF Asiatic
variety, was purchased In Japan by Adam
Forepaugh, the Snowman, and was to be
delivered In good condition at the show
quarters In Philadelphia. There was no
trouble on the voyage over the Pacific 10
San FranCiSco, but when the time for the
overland journey from San Francisco came
arctic weather prevailed this side Of
the Rockey mountains. The temperature
was 80 low as to congesi the lungs Of the
elephant II unprotected. The Central
Pacific Railroad Company refused to let
Capt, MULTI put stoves In the elephants
car, because OF the danger to the compa.
nv's property, and the captain set bis wits
to work to devise means OF getting heat
without fire. lie soon hit upon a practi.
cal plan.
The elephant was led into a box car,
and stable compost was thrown In by the
cart load. 1t was piled high around the
sides Of the car and loosely heaped around
the elephant, until only the head and
back OF the big beast were visible.
All the chlnks In the car were
stopped up, and the journey was
begun. AS the temperature lowered few
pals Of water were thrown upon the com.
post, and warm vapor from the ierment.
ing heap filled the car. In this way the
monster from the tropics invaded the
home OF the blizzard and travelled In his
pathway from Cheyenne to Philadelphia,
where ho was safely delivered to his
owners. ,.l#G M

usual custom In court mar.
ttal. He was on his way to New
Orleans to take command OF the depart.
ment 70 which he had been assigned,
when he was subp@naed to appear before
this court. The fact that there 10 In some
quarters an impression that his removal
from tho command OF West Point, was
brought about owing to the dissatisfaction
Of the Government at bis official conduct
In matters relating to this Tease,
caused peculiar interest to be taken
In his testimony. During the course Of his
testimony regarding the court Of inquiry
ne led at West Point Gen. sCho6eld
said he did not think outside support had
anything to do with the result Of the
court OF inquiry, but a great deal with the
course Of the court. The witness was
asked Il the court was not master OF itself,
To which he replied: "The court Welded,
