THE WHISKY sPECULArION


The advocates of the bill for extending
tire time Of whisky in bond two years
beyond The Limitation fixed by law as
serted in the house Of representatives,
that ruin would be inflicted ON the own
ers OF the stock in the warehouses unless
congress promptly passed the proposed
measure of relief.
That argument failed to convince a
majority of the house, and large spec
uiation, involving perhaps twenty or
thirty millions of dollars, did not sue
coed.
Now, when deception Is no longer use
full, and the sham has be en- exposed, the
advocates of extension have to admit
that the whisky interest is able to stand
the pressure which they declared would
ruin it aud to pay the tax as it becomes
due.
The parties who organized the scheme
to manipulate the whisky market con-
troll the production. When they were
defeated in the last congress IN the at

reduction in the supply was ordered.

combination, It was voted down
The production being reduced greatly
below the nominal demand, the stock of

duced, until the difference between sup
ply aud demand shall disappear. Con-

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
CONNIE TPAVETRD1

=
New York Heraldi A bill TO protect
commercial travellers sgainss The usjust
tqxes and burdeHsome restrictions i'm.
posed upon them by certain states has
been favorabIy reported to the house
from the committee on manufactures.
Il makes it an Indictable ofense for any
officer or person Ia any state TO "inter-
fere in any way with any commercial
traveller" from another state In selling
goods by sample.
This measure is aimed At 8 recognized
evil; but, apart from the objection that
II 10 rather sweeping and lode fnits, il is
not likely to prove an effective remedy.
Local legislation directed specifically
and exclusively against "drummers''
from other states has repeatedly been
declared unconstitutional The only
way state can constitutionalIy impose
a tax or other burden upon commercial
travellers from other states is by q gen.
ersl law. applicable alike 10 its own citi-
zens and all persons within
its jurisdiction. This right belongs
TO the taxing poxer of every
state. The power may be, and has been,
abused to enforce unjust dncriminations
against the cilizeas OF other states. For
example tax may. be nomiDa ly I'M
posed upon, Or a license demanded from
all SAL saen. and YET, as u matter of
fact, the law may operate chiefly against
commercial transfers This, however,
is an evil which congress can hardly
remedy. That body las no more right
to deal with the Local aspects of the diff
Guilty than state has TO interfere with
its interstate feAiurts
Any REMEDY. however, that congress
can properly apply will be in the inter
eel of the pUbii", and should be pIovi-
ded. The policy which some states have
adopted against commercial travellers is
narrow, detrimental and discreditable.
lis purpose is selfish protection OF local
interests, and its effect is to restrict the
freedom of commercial intercourse
among the states. Such local legis'a-
lion, If not against The letter, is contrary
TO the spirit OF the Federal Constitution
and T. curious to the common welfare.

The GOLD Fever

TOPEKA, Kas., April % Colorado
dispatches ofto-day indicate that a great
excitement is prevailing in the Noun
tain state over the gold discovery at Mt
Pisgah. II was made public less than d
week ago and some 1900 men are al
ready in the camp, and hundreds are
pushing in from Leadville and other
mining towns. Mt. PisgRh is forty
miles northwe of Pueblo, in a com
parsuvely unprospectod region. Al
though Canon City is few miles nearer
than Pueblo, the situation is such that
the latter will probably become the C; Z
ter of distribution. Pueblo business
men haye already arranged for u
stage and freight line to the
mines The new district is called Gold
en- valley and many regard it as the big-
gest find ever made in the state. Min
ing men are almost unanimous in the
opinion that these new fields are OF
great value. Assays have been ma ie
showing forty ounces of gold, and some
run considerably higher The region is
easy of access and of wide extent. Snow
is gone for most part and prospecting
goes on day and night. There is every
reason TO believe that successful and
permanent mining camp will be estab-
lIshed st Pissah before the merry month
of May. The excitement is universal.

camp will surpass Leadville and rival

The SAINTS Fe Report Analysed.


As the property of more than 1900
persons, mostly residing in Boston and
its vicinity. has representation in the
stock OF the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad Company, the annual re-
port Of this company, just issued, calls
for more than passing comment. The
operations of the system are still divided
into four parts; 1, the main line and
auxiliaries of /, $50 miles; 2, the South
ern Kansas system, 800 miles; 3, the
Sonora system, $50 miles; and, 4,
the operation jointly with the Union
Pacific of 1o3 miles, one-half of which
Is fiftY-one and half miles. These
divisions relate to the workings of the
system. The operation of the company
cover q north division-the Atlantic and
Paclf1c-Whlch, however, is no integral
part of the Atchison system, but which
the Atchison Company, by reason of its
helfownership, finds its ownership,
finds it for its interest to protect.
In outline, the Atchison Company in
1888 has been enabled to spend So, &c.,
600 for construction, and advance more
than 81 900 900 TO the Atlantic and Pa
cific and Sonora Companies, with the
issue of no new stock and only $780,
coo new bonds, while at the same time
cancellIng $S54, 600 of bonds from sales
and sinking fund payment.
In view of the fact that the operating
expenses were 4S s 10 per cent in 1888,
against So per cent in 1882 and 68 $40
IN 1881, with an average of 81 per cent
tor the last ten years, the report states
that no change has been made in the
system OF accounts, except that in 1888

penses instead of construction, as in pre-
vious years. The very complete table
of expenses per mile for repairs and re-
newals since 1874 will show that the
Atchlson has been more just in its ex-
penses In this line than in previous
years. Spending So per cent of the gross
earnings, or 81, $50 per mile for repairs
and renewals, as in 1881, should not
longer be continued, and to q more con-
sentative policy in this respect is due
the chief reduction in expenses, though
the operation of the company through
out, even to fuel and water. seem 70 have
been in the proper line of compact,
economical organization.
The capital stock of the company
stands at $50, 913, $50, its debt at $25, SS7,-
900 Including the land grant bonds and
its surplus at 81, 190,4 S7. 1t has contin-
gent liabilities of 81, 1885, 900 on account
of the Southern Kansas system, 81, 050,-
600 on account of the Sonora system and
5000, GOO on account of the Lesvenwerth,
Topeka and Southwestern system. A
total of direct and indirect Indebtedness
of $48014,00
The operations of the Southern Kan
sas system show gross earnings OF
81, 792, 092, and net earnings of 1887 1894.
The Sonora system suffered from
prevalence of yellow fever in Mexico, so
that on gross earnings of 1857, 600 loss
in operation OF $4,000 was incurred.
There was also expended for construc-
ton 4206, 531, and $155, $50 was received
from the Mexican government on sub
sidy account.

"When Brown lay wounded my father
went to him and took the sword from

No, you have been very kind TO me,
for which thank you, and in consider
