J. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY. July 81. lssa
A NOTE or waExrxG.

We prinf q letter frcns Mr.. ID. III.
sfilin3n this morning exificfsing in
very positive terms the reFort Of the
corporations com mistee now before the
convention at Olympia. Mr. Gilman
holds that II the recommendation Of
fae committee are adopted ard in
eorporated into the fundamental law
OF the state, il viii prevent Absolutely
Tie iayesfrnessf OF outside CAPITAL IN
railroad construction here. So Posi-
tive note OF alarm from so intelligent
source Is worthy of careful asren-
ton. and re commend Mr.. GiImanss
presentation of the case 10 the con-
vention, fully believing that rs mem
oers VII nos allow any prriadices or
preconceiyed notions 10 hinder a fals
and fair investigation OF the objections
which be makes.
If il be true as asserted that the plan
now before the committee Is practi-
eally identical xiih tie pro-
visions Of the California eonststu-
ton, then indeed there should pe very
careful and thorough consideration
before its adoption Ii is a matter OF
notoriety that California has suffered
severely from the effects of It's
constitution adopted during the
time OF the kearney excitement
about ten years ago. Hundreds of
millions OF dollars we're driven from
the state and with it much of the
spirit through which this great wealth
had originally been created. u. o.
Alil-, Thomas keene and others
gathered their fortunes together and
went TO New York. The great Hop
kins estate was carried hesiily to Mas
ssehnsetts. Scores OF men and mii-
lions OF money went away never to
return. From that day 10 this
California has never been able to
receive outside money Tor railroad
construction or for other large enter
prises, and to this day there is practi-
caily but single railroad corporation
operating within her limits and tnat
corporation is organized under the
avs OF anot her state.
Legislation calculated TO keep cap
ital out OF our state would he extreme
iy unsise at this time. Oar resources
are OF o kind which call for heavy in
vestment before they can be developed.
and our situation is such that rail-
roads are an absolute necessity. We
have as yet comparatively small ae-
eunlalstioas of capital at hand, and if
We have it, we must get il
from abroad. Ii hehooves It's
then 10 treat those subjects with ut
mo t care, and to incorporate nothing
in the state constitntion that will keep
out capital and so hinder progress.
If in future years there shall be need
OF severer regulations. the legislature
may be trusted TO apply ii. 1t will be
time enough for the remedy when the
di~ease has manifested itself.

APRIL FOOL JOKES.

Detective Coulsou and Deputy Coroner
Loughry Are Called Out of Bed and an
Anxious once Seeker Perhaps Still on
the Run.
Quite number of April fool jokes were
perpetrated among the city and county
officials yesterday. About o'clock in the
morning Detective Coulson was awakened
at his home on Tannehill street and in
formed that safe burglars were at work on
bank on Wood street. He, got up and
dressed, hurried down town and found after
diligent search that it was April 1.
A CHASTITY joke was perpetrated on Depu-
ty Coroner Loughry Someone telephoned
from an Allegheny undertaker's that lit
tie girl had been found drowned at the head
of Herr's Island and the body was awaiting
the Coroner's orders. Loughrey went from
the Office in the Court House to the island,
where he realized the joke, though he did
not appreciate it.
Alderman Richards sent colored man
named Tinsley, who has been bothering him
for some time to get him city position, to In
spector McAleese with letter recommend
ing him to position on patrol wagon. He
was referred BY the Inspector to Street Com
missioner Andrews, who sent him to an
other official, and from that to another, un-
til nearly every Office in City Hall had been
visited. The man returned to the Alder
mans Office late last night after half days
hard work, but still hopeful, and said he
expected to get fixed up all right this morn
ing, when he would have talk with Judge
Grips.

Three Reasons why

People should buy goods on easy payments:
First, it is most impossible fer people of
moderate means to accumulate enough
money to furnish house properly.
Second, that better class of goods can be
purchased than though you were compelled
to pay spot cash.
Third, having your house properly fur
nished it is an encouragement to live and
be more happy; you take more pleasure in
keeping good goods in nice order, and by
so doing are considered good housekeepers
The satisfaction is complete; your friends,
yourself and your dealer are satisfied, so what
more is desired? Be wise in your genera
ton, and let Hopper Bros. & Co. furnish
your homes. Call at 307 Wood street, and
look over their extensive stock of goods;
sold on easy payments. TTssu

FROM FAR-OFF ALASKA.
A ChicaRoian in the City Who Is in Business
in That Country.

Chicago in the City Who Is In Business
in That Country.
J. K. Armsby, of Chicago, who is en-
gagged in the salmon business in Alaska, was
in the city yesterday, and left last evening
for Chicago. He said, in speaking of the
resources and development of the country,
that last year 400, 900 cases of salmon, worth
81, 200, 900, was packed in that country and
sent East. The supposition that only the
Columbia river salmon is worth canning is
not true. In Alaska, in the Ukon river,
which had been explored for distance of
2,800 miles, the salmon are the best to be
found in the world
He said that Governor Schweinford had
withdrawn his charge against Governor
Tingle. The charges against the Govern
ment agent and the Alaska Commercial
Company were of a scandalous and most re-
voting description. twas true that Indian
squaws had been kidnapped by the latter
company's men, but in nearly every case
the offenders were found and punished.
Mr.. Armsby said that the actual cash
royalties received by the United States are
more than the territory cost. At the time
it was purchased the Government here gave
Russia 81 200, 900 for the country in recog-
milton of the, valuable aid to the North dur
ing the late civil war. They did noubuy it
as an investment, but the duties have paid
for the purchase many times.

WONDERFULLY WRITTEN.

A. Communication for tho Youmcn Eagen
TO Look Right Into.
Alderman McNulty, OF Allegheny, has
received an anonymous and undated COM
munication, in the shape of postal card,
written partly in English. partly in Ger
man, and partly in neither, and hardly
legible. Below is copy of the text as
close to the original as possible,
! Let the Youmen Eagen no about this man
on Troy Hill is starving his horses no waiter
and no feet his nabor Sacht that day wud bee
Sankful if som but wud Luck at them his
name is l. s., Troy Hill ner the Schoole

After diligent and persistent perusal, a
scribe made the following out the linguistic
conglomeration:
Let the Humane Agent know about this: A
man on Troy Hill is starving his horses-no
water and no feed. His neighbors say that
they would be thankful if somebody would
look at them. His name is l. s., Troy
Hill, near the school house, Reserve town
ship.
AS there is considerable sense in the
latter, it might be well for the "Youmen
Eagen'" to look into the matter

RICE, OF MINNESOTA,
The Ex-Representative and Candidate for
Governor in Town.

The Ex.Representative and Candidate for
Governor in Town.
Ex-Representative Edmund Rice, of Min
nesota, passed through the city last night
on his way home from Washington. Mr..
Rice is Democrat, and one of the few in
that State who have anything to say about
how the machine shall be run. The large
Republican vote was against him at the
last election, and he was defeated for re-
election to Congress. He was also at one
time candidate for Governor of the State.
While at the Union station last night he
said that the rejection of Murat Halstead's s
name by the Senate was perfectly proper,
but he thought it would work to Halstead's s
advantage in other ways. 1t was possible
that he would be nominated for United
States Senator or something OF that kind
Mr.. Rice did not think that the President
would insist on his appointment being con-
frmed. In regard to President Harrison's s
civil service policy, Mr.. Rice said he would
observe the law to the letter.

PASSENGER AGENTS. MEETING.

E. D. Smith. Division Passenger Agent
OF the Baltimore and Ohio; G. W. Bassett,
General Passenger Agent of the Pittsburg
and Western; A. E. Clark, of the Lake
Erie, and the passenger officials of the
Pennsylvania COmpany's lines, left last
evening for Cincinnati to attend the mass
meeting Of passenger agents to be held at
that place to-day. Ii addition to the pro.
gramme of business which was printed in
The DISPATCH last week, the question Of
publishing joint rate sheets will come
up for discussion. Under the recent inter-
State commerce amendment railroad COM
panies are required to post all rates where
the public may have access to them. This
includes the rates on foreign roads, and
must show the exact proportion of the
through rate given each of the lines on
which the business passes. For instance, on
ticket to Chicago, via the Pittsburg and
Western road, the posted notices must show
how much the Wheeling and Lake Erie and
Baltimore and Ohio companies get.

rooms, while engaged in sweeping out the
ladies' room, happened to look out of the
window and spy the coffin. While she
looked at it the lid was slowly raised and
mans head appeared. Then, as she gazed
in alright, he slowly sat up in the coffin.
With yell of terror, such as a Comanche
squaw might utter, she fled to the agents
house, short distance from the station,
and, with rapid pulls at the bell, soon had
him aroused.
Unable to understand what the trouble
was, the agent hastened to the station in his
stocking-teet, and there he found the cause
of the woman's terror, coolly walking
around looking for his hat.
His Corpsehip informed them that he twas
drunk last night" and his "buddy" had
been slowed away in the coffin to sleep.
