TWO BILLS VETOED.
Concluded from First Pogc,I

gigantic engines of fraud and wrongdoing
the world has ever seen. 1t is through
Just such provisions that the Goulds and
Sages have been able to ripen and fattou
upon the earnings of a confiding people
and at the expense of widows and orphans
whose few dollars were invested, as they
thought safely, in the capital stock of
railroads and other corporations through
out the United States. In my opinion
the cumulative character of the stock. if
allowed at all, should only be for a lin.
tied time of, say three years.
Third-The proposed measure further
provides that in the event that any cor
poration organized under the laws of this
territory shall have already agreed and
determined at a meeting of its stock
holders to issue preferred stock, such ac-
ton is localized. and itshall only be neces-
sary for it to file the certificate required
by section l of the enrolled act.
This provision is either wholly and en-
tirely useless, or elsc,some corporation has
assumed to authorize the issuance Of such
preferred shares in the belief that it
would be able to induce the present legis-
lative assembly to validate its act. Now,
if any corporation organized under the
laws of this territory has at any time
issued or authorized the issue of pre-
ferred stock, it has done that which the
law did not, and in my opinion, except by
the unanimous consent of all the stock
holders, authorize or empower it to do.
If such be the case it would, in my judy
ment, be n wise, practical lesson to teach
the offending corporation that if it over
steps the limitations of its powers as
established by law, it does so at its peril.
In this instance, it would be an exceed
ingly bad precedent to establish, that n
corporation organized under the laws of
Wyoming Territory, may do an unlawful,
unauthorized act, and have that act vail
dated simply by asking the lawmaking
body to do SO. l am, very respectfully,
THOMAS MOONLIGHT,

The fashion of discarding rubbers in
wet weather and having the shoes oiled
instead was set by the police, letter car
riers and car drivers, and is now being
followed by thousands, whose feet are in
jured by wearing rubbers. Those who
have to face a winter out of doors and
who complain That rubbers pain or
cripple them, unite in declaring that to
keep the feet warm and dry it is only
necessary to wear shoes a size or two too

A message from his excellency informed
the house that Mr.. Van Devanter's bill
providing that q receiver may be ap-
pointed for a corporation when the same
is insolvent or in imminent danger of
insolvency" had been vetoed. Mr.. Van
Devanter introduced the measure by re-
quest early in the session. In refusing to
approve the act Governor Moonlight set
forth his reasons at length. The pro-
posed law was at variance with accepted
rulings and established preccdents and
would give corporations altogether too
much latitude.

1t has remained Tor a Laramie county
representative, Mr., Roberts, to take the
initial step toward the abolition of the
office of attorney general. The gentle
man yesterday gave notice hat at an
early day he would present for the con-
sideration of the house a bill for an act to
repeal that chapter Of the revised statutes
creating the office of attorney general and
defining the duties of the incumbents.

plete with sound argument He was
positive that TO enact the bill in its pres
ent form was TO place on the statute
books a law which could not be enforced.
Throughout the discussion a ready dis
position to give supporters of the bill
ample opportunity to urge its passage was
evinced by even those most opposed to its
adoption.
Mr.. Cummock expressed astonishmcnt
and pity at Mr.. Adams Statement. that
he did not believe the better element
were ready for the enforcement of n rigid
anti-gambling law. Mr.. Duffey thought
the bill should be treated with the con-
sideration of any other measure and was
seconded in this by Mr.. Summers. Mr..
Roberts was against postponemeht, be-
lieving that all were well prepared to vote
on the question.

A preliminary brush on the gambling

POTATOES.
Why They Have Been So Poor In
Quality.

A reporter for the PRESS hearing that
great complaint had been made in regard TO
the potatoes that had been brought to
market. that they had been very bitter in
taste, yellow in color, and had. in very many
cases, been returned on the hands of the
wholesale dealers, made inquiry of the
wholesalers as to the cause of the trouble
he was informed that the summer and fall
had been unusually wet, and that there lad
not been anything like the usual amount
OF sunshine. After the farmers gathered
their crop, especially in Aroostook, they
left the greater portion out in the fields ex-
posed to the wind and such sun as they got
or in unprotected places, where they became
what is known as windblown, and, as the
farmers naturally want to get all they can
for their produce. they put these potatoes on
the market first, reserving thoss. which they
had stored in cool, dark cellars for the last
to be brought to market. These windblown
potatoes were returned on their hands in
large quantities, but The dealers claimed
that those now coming to market were good
potatoes. When asked If the Scotch pota
toes were being imported they said not at
present, as they are usually not imported
until the price here gets to be above sixty
cents bushel $3.50.

MUSIC AND DRAM A.
RIcHELIEU.


Mr.. John L. Stoddard's lecture OF
'Richelieu" last evening held the individual
attention of his audience from the beginning
to the close. AT the very outset the lecturer
wasted no time in introduction, but proceed
ed at once with his subject. The lecture will
rank among his best, not only ON account of
the illustrations, but because he presented q
graphic, logical and impartial description OF
the Bismarck of the sixteenth century. He
traced the great cardinal from his consecra.
tion as bishop through the rise to temporal
power. and then amidst all the conspiracies
down to his peaceful death. A capital idea
was given of the weak and frivolus Louis,
whose chief delight seemed to be the shaw
ing of his courtiers and the making lord; OF
Father Joseph, for fifteen years the conf
dent of Richelieu, who Bulwer has made so
familiar in his play, and of Marie de
Medicis-who was not the lovely woman
that novelists have loved to paint-with an
account Of her sufferings and her dramatic
death.
The illustrations were superb. The chief
cities of France; the palaces and parks of
Paris; Fontainableau; beautiful rural
scenes; the Vatican at Rome; Versailles
views Of paintings that are historical I;
castles of the feudal times; were most faith
fully portrayed, and when the audience rose
to leave it was with deep regret that the end
had come.
The third and last lecture will be given
next Friday evening on Rome"

Last year travelling man came to Port

purpose of establishing stocking manufac-

Lynn by the American Express Company.

signee took them and paid $465 for them.
They proved to be worthless; 1t was a SWIM
die. 1T was impossible to find the man who
sent them, so no redress could be obtained.
This year the same thing has been worked
at the other end Of the line. A lot of knit
ting machines were shipped from Portland
