ouired TO be kept and open TO the inFpec-
ton Of the proper officers OF the State.
Without such n provision these refords
cannot be reached by the process VI the
courts, nor can they be subject 10 inspec.
ton by the Railroad Commissioners OF
the State. :,
That a trustee and the books in which
his accounts should be kept and stated
should be within the jurisdiction OF the
courts OF the State, where the property
subject is situated, has been rule OF
both equity and statute law for time Out
OF mind.
VII To prohibit free passesa not
only to all officers Of the State, opt 70
every one. ,
In the former case, whether accepted
as such or not. the motive Of the gilt Is
TO bride. In the latter il is allowing one
citizen to have more than his just share
of the property which is common to all
The habit tends to corrupt both donor
and donee.
1t is q direct attempt by the trustees
OF the public to purchase for consldera-
ton not their own either additional fran
chises or exemption from proper legal
restriction. 1t is using the peoples
club to break the peoples head. 1t is a
pitiful and disgraceful sight to see one
set of public officers offering brides in
the shape of free passes to another set
of public officers TO obtain or to prevent
legislation through which the corpora
tons may appropriate to themselves
larger share of the proceeds OF public
trust.
We think that some provisions similar
TO those enumerated, aud embodying the
same principles which have been, hur-
riedly discussed here, are OF sufficient
importance to the people TO have them
Incorporated into the organic law of the
State. 1t has not been our purpose to
refer to any other subject rs proper to
have a place in our Constitution. In
this matter the most substantial interests
of the people are involved. For the
want of proper legislation both the pro-
ducers and consumers in the State are
being robbed by their own agents. 1t
may be like the process of bleeding
which is painless to the subject-but all
the same his life is slowly ebbing away
arouse the subject and tell him his
danger and the flow is arrested.
A fair discussion of these issues before
the people OF the State would awaken
them to the danger that impends and
they would probably insist upon reforms
such as have been here suggested being
made constitutional.

PROMINENT ACTORS AND ACTRESSES N Do
MYSTIC ROLES.
Since the days Of Thackeray's "Fother-
ingsy" certain amount OF mystery re-
garding the domestic status Of stage
performers has not been the least part of
the glamOr thrown around them in the
eyes of their audience. l remember
calling on William PERKS one Of the
handsomest leading men we have ever
he'd on our stage, and now at the head Of
the Londen Adolphia Theatre Company,
when he arrived in Now York as Irving's
leading man on that great actors first
visit to this country. We had many mu-
tuai friends, aud / had heard much Of
him and his interesting wife and family.
One OF the first favors he asked of me,
however, was to write OF him as If he
were bachelor, without of course COM
uniting myself TO any direct statement.
4 Was amused at the request and asked
for an explanation, "Oh," said he, :"
think leading man loses much OF HIS
hold on the public II tho fact that he is q
married man is continually insisted
upon :; and perhaps he was right.
10 rs surprising when one surveys the
field TO ind how many Of our popular
favo1tes are married and how few openly
ayow the fact. OF tho latter Mrs. Lang
try is OF course the chief. and equally of
course Mrs. Potter has followed her lead
in this as in other cases, though her lead
ing man, Bcllew, by the way, was seri-
ously annoyed when an iconoclastic para
grapher revealed the distressing truth

VERY RETIRING.

Stokes is of very retiring disposition
He is pointed out score of times a day
Is the man who killed Fisk. Strangers
never fail to inquire for him, and it is
often very embarrassing. One night
two young fellows from the West stepped
up 10 the bar IN the cafe. They ordered
drinks and then turned 10 the bar
tender.
:" suppose lots o people inquire for
Stokes, eh 2" said one OF them.
" Those who have business with him
do, was the sententious reply.
"He killed jim Fisk, didn't he ?"
No reply this time.
"Must ha' been handy with IBIS pop 2"
No reply.
"l'd like TO see him now that I've
heard 50 much about him."
No reply.
"Say does he ever come around ?"
just then Stokes, who had been stand
ing at corner OF the bar where he heard
the entire conversation, looked up ner-
vonsly and ssid, "i'm Ed. Stokes. DO
you want 10 see me 2"
The young fellow dropped bis glass.
His eyes dilated He was too startled TO
speak. He shook his head neryousiy,
and Stokes turned on his heel and walked
oil as the young man gasped
"Well, III be blamed SO that is

The Worlds Steam-Power.

The Bureau of Statistics in Berlin
has recently issued some curious in
formation with regard to the number
of steam engines in use in the chief
countries of the world. and the
amount of motive force which they
represent The United States stands
first with a total horsepower of
100000; next comes Great Britain
with 500. 600 less; Germany has $780,
900; France. 100000. and Austria,
100000. In these figures the motive
power of the locomotives, which num-

not included. They represent collec-
lively total of 5000. 600 horse power
