The Lowell Times hears that Gov. Hale
of New Hampshire will veto the railroad
consolidation bill if it passes the Legislature
on the ground that it confers legislative pow
ers on the Supreme Court, and is therefore
in conflict with the 37th article of the bill of
rights, which requires the executive, legis-
lative and judicial branches of the govern
ment to be separate and Independent of
each other.

b That is to say, their assets all told
amounted to $6,099, 25s while the only liabil-
tiles they reported were direct liabilities
amounting to $737,000 Thus they repre-
sented themselves as not only solvent but
with large surplus of more than five mil
lion dollars. But seven months afterwards
they state their total assets to be but S. ,262,-
1912, the shrinkage being 1887, O5s. 6S,
while their total "direct liabilities are re-
ported to be S4,612, 074.12, an increase in
seven months, both statements being their
own, of $S,S75, O7412. According to this
second statement their total assets exceed
their direct liabilities only $3.50, 1890. The
total discrepancy between their two state
ments made but seven months apart is
$4,712, 1890. No fluctuation of the mar
ket, no failures of those with whom they
were engaged in business transactions. ac-
counts for this vast difference. We do not
see any possible escape from the conclusion
that the statement made to Bradstreet's at
the beginning of the year was delusive and
that those who trusted to it and loaned and
lost money on the strength of this represen-
tation of the firms affairs, were the victims
of an imposition. Whether the delusive
statement was dishonesty made with a de-
sign to cheat by false pretences is ques-
ton for a jury to determine, If anybody cares
to try the issue in the courts.
In this second statement appears another
class of liabilities not mentioned in the for
mer one, namely, contingent liabilities
amounting to s2,897, 1851, for which they
claim to hold collateral security to the
amount of only s169, 55267, of which only
$44,735.51 is called good, the rest being
classed as insolvent. Their total liabilities
''direct' and Contingent" are S7,5O9, 800 SO,
the excess of their liabilities over their as
sets, taking their estimate of the value of the
latter, is $2,247,1 12.0e. There is another
item of more than $30e,O00, representing ac-
cepted drafts for hides to arrive, concerning
which the accountant says he cannot say
whether there will be any claim on the firm
of F. Shaw & Bros.
1t is well if the mercantile community is
able to believe that this is an exceptional
case, and that the number of those who are
in similar situation is very few. If the con-
trary view were held and it was believed, or
suspected, that other establishments were as
hollow and unsubstantial as this is now
shown to have been, confidence would come
to an end and the whole fabric of credit
would tumble down. 1t is apparent that the
house of F. Shaw & Bros. invited the ruin
that has overtaken it. The pity of it is that
the prudent suffer with the imprudent and
the savings of laborous years and the hopes
of comfort in old age are wrecked in the
calamity of indiscreet speculation.

foot among members of the theatrical
profession to discontinue the practice

The decision of Judges Lowell and Nelson
in the United States Circuit Court at Boston
In the case of the American captain arrested
for landing in this country a Chinese labor
er, contrary to the provisions of the Chinese
Emigration Act passed by Congress in 1880,
shows that that act is destined to fall far
short of accomplishing the purpose which
Its authors intended. The decision turned
wholly upon the question whether, within
the meaning of the act of Congress, the man
landed by tke American captain was Chi
naman. That he was Chinese in race and
language was admitted. But he was born
in the island of Hong Kong after the cession
Of that island to the British, and had always
lived there, and consequently was not sub
ect Of the Emperor of China, but Of the
Queen of England. The Court held that
the act of Congress could only apply to the
subjects of the Emperor of China, for it was
founded upon the treaty with the Emperor
of China, which of course could only affect
his own subjects, and as this man was
not subject of the Emperor of China
although III III the popular acceptation of the
Tern Chinaman, it could not apply to him.
Under this construction of the act of Con-
gress there is nothing on the statute book to
prevent the emigration of the whole resident
population of HongKong to this country.

The Shaw Failure.

The statement made by Mr.. Fayette Shaw
at the meeting of the creditors of F. Shaw
& Bros, in Boston last Wednesday, together
with the statement made by the accountant,
for the accuracy of which he expressly dis
claimed responsibility, the amounts being
furnished to him by the finn, are in effect
but one statement and that is the firms
statement of their condition and the circum-
stances under which it came about. 1t is
unnecessary to say that this staten ent was
to the mercantile community. The affairs
OF the firm are in much worse condition
than was expected and much worse than
any previous statement had given reason to
suspect. The narration of the methods pur-
sued In their business by the Messrs. Shaw
since the failure of the Pacific Bank in
1881 is not creditable. Undoubtedly it puts
in the best possible light the circumstan-
ces, but it is a narration of unwise and reck-
less proceeding for which those who
suffer cannot be expected to have any
thing like charitable consideration for it does
not deserve charity but only condemnation.
When the statement made since the fail
ureis compared with that made to Brad
streets agency on the 1st of January, seven
months before the failure, and almost two
years after the collapse of the Pacific Bank
there is little wonder that those who hold
the dishonored paper of the firm are in a
state of Indignation. They have good rea-
son to be. The statement given to Brad
streets seven months ago was as follows:

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The president laid
before the senate to-day memorial of the
Legislature of Kansas with reference to
pleuro-pneumonia in cattle.
After a brief executive session the SEN
ate took up the tariff bill, and considera-
ton of the free list was begun.

passed over informally yesterday, laying a
duty of 81 per ton on stones manufac-
tured of undressed free-stone, granite,
sandstone, and all building or mon
umentaI stone except marble, not speci-
ally enumerated. The suggestion having
been smade, that the language of the
provision would apply to stone coming in
as ballast. The paragraph was modified by
striking out 'stone manufactured or IN
dressed" leaving it to apply to free-stone,
sandstone, granite and all building or
monumental stone, except marble not
dressed nor specially enumerated. final
amendment to add and upon stoves as
above, herein, dressed or polished, $3.50
per ton" was agreed TO. Ayes, 81; hayes,

phlets, bound or unbound, and all printed
matter not specially enumerated or pro-
vided for in this act, engravings, bound or
