Is IT STILL A CORPORATION?

EpuR BULLETIN In your issue
Of yesterday, under the heading OF
"Sugar Matters | notice the fol-
lowing in regard to the position that
the American Refinery Company
holds, in It's relations with the "Su-
gar Trusts" and the Sugar Planters
with whom the Company has already
made, or ia about TO make contracts.
Some of the remarks made by the
writer OF the lcltCr with the view OF
advising the planters as to the legal
status and responsibilities Of the
company, Hrc uuguarded and more
than possibly written without rcileC-
tion, else, knowing as he must have
known, The ab-nilO ilIegality Of the
"Irusts he certainly would have
hesitated before declaring that ''as
the American Refinery Company has
no existence IN law, the contracts
made with IL by the planters, for the
sale and purchase of sugar, are void
and Of no effect" Why has the
company no existence in law True,
it sold and transferred to the
"Trusts" It's franchises and corpo-
rate rights, with the intent of mcrg-
ing its existence into that Of the
purchaser--buJ, the Trusts them
selves having been declared by the
law, illegal, and having never had
legal existence, it follows cx ne
cessitate that any contracts OF trans
fer or any transfer made with it OF
TO it, in its assumed corporate ca
pacity, became and were by the
very operation Of the law, null and
void, and the American Refinery
Company though still holding The
"Trusts" stock in lieu Of their owl
charter, are nevertheless, the presen
and only owners of the franchise
and corporate powers, fully and a
legally rs they were, before th
transfer took place, and on prope
application to the Courts, would Sc
cure a decree setting aside the trans
fer, and .re-inyesting it, with all tn
rights, powers, etc., which it wa
supposed to have transferred TO til
"1'rusts."
The "Trusts" under the transfer
took nothing-and the America
Company though executing the sal
with all solemnity, really never fc
a moment became dispossessed {
their corporate life. 1t can max
valid contracts for both sale All
purchase, and can sue and be suc'
with all the legal effect and rcspo
sibility it had before the transfe
the law never having recognized
as OTHER than corporation. 10.

ENGLISH SIMPLICITY or MANNER.

If there is anything which English
women dislike moro than another IT
is making fuss. They do not gush
over a new acquaintance or over an
old one. IT is the avoidance Of fuss
and gnsh and sloppy compliments
which has gained them reputation
for cOldness Of manne-. The cold
ness Of manner is simplicity Of man
ncr; that, and nothing else, and it
is simplicity Of nature which dictates
the simple manner. Lunch may
mean party Of twenty people, but
whether twenty or twO there is no
ceremony. The ladies walk into
the diniug-rOOm by themselves, the
men straggle after, and find their
way TO such seats As suit them. The
talk is as easy as il you were sitting
about a fire, or more 50. If the
lunch is q small one, the talk rlpples
about the table; if large, you have
10 take your chance with the two
fellow creatures next you--men or
women, as chance, you or superior
strategy may have determined. So
ciety does not object TO serious
topics, or even to the serious treat
ment Of them what il objects to is
pedanlry, prctention, dulness-to
that which is heavy as distinguished
from that winch is serious. 1t has
preferences, and strong preferences,
but 1t will endure much. What it
will not endure is the professor who
brings into its presence the sOlemni-
ties Of the lecture-roOm, or the man
who arrives with Il nission.-T N. Y.

The Sioux Lands.

Since the success Of the negotiations Of
the government commissioners with TIE
various bands OF Sioux Indians in Undue.
ing them to sell a large part OF their res.
ervations to the government the matter
has dropped out OF public notice in the
east. It has not become interesting in the
west, however. Here are IL, 600, 900
acres, some of which is as fine land as any
in the world, to be thrown open for set
tlement-an area larger than the
state of Massachusetts-an area out of
which farms for 10000 families can be
carved-an area much larger than that OF
Oklahoma and much of it better land.
Intending settlers are awaiting with great
Impotence for the treaty that has been
signed by the requisite three-fourths of the
Sioux to receive the ratification of con-
gress, and for the proclamation Of the
President declaring the lands to be opened.
1t may be that this will not be done until
next spring.
The remaining Indian lands in the Dako.
tas are divided into six reservations:
Standing Rock, Cheyenne River, Lower
Brule. Crow Creek, Pine Ridge and Rose
bud. These are in sets of two, one at the
northern end, one on the eastern border
and the other on the southern edge of the
late Sioux territory.
The relinquished lands are to be sold to
settlers for the first three years at the cost
~price-S1.25 per acre; after that for two
years at 70 cents, and the remainder at
not less than so cents.
The opening OF these lands will give q
great impulse to South Dakota. Hereto
fore the population has been LARGELY con-
centrated at the southeastern corner of
the territory. Henceforth the population
will be scattered over a wider area; and No
doubt in a few years railways will be
built. and towns will spring up that may
rival jamestown and Bismarck.

Rawlinson ON Floods.

Writing on the Conemaugh dam failure,
and on the failure OF several reservoirs,
Sir Robert Rawlinson concludes a letter to
the London Times as follows: And
now for the lesson Co be learned. Excessive
floods may not occur annually, but at
rarer intervals. In England rivers occa-
sionally rise some twenty-five feet or
twenty-three feet vertical in flood; in Scot
land and Wales some thirty feet or thirty
five feet in great spaces, doing great dam
age within the range of the flooded areas.
In South Africa rivers rise seventy ieet
vertical, and in parts of Australia 100
feet, a small and almost invisible
stream in dry weather becoming a devas-
tating torrent during the heavy rains. The
rivers flowing down the Conemaugh valley
in America from the mountains above will
be subject to similar excuses. The great
rivers and the great lakes OF North America
and Canada, have, however. capacity to
equalize the effect Of storms, and so to pre-
vent such excesses as now and then take
place oyer areas of less extent, and which
will inevitably be repeated if such mistakes
are made, such as building towns, villages
and works in narrow valleys below wide
mountain areas and large artificial reser-
voirs. There may be q very wide interval
between the excuses of nature, but there is
ever the contingency, nay, certainty, OF a
repetition, and man cannot alter it."

on THE BIG ~BLACKFOOT,
A Paradise for Sportsmen and Those in
Search of Recreation.

A Paradise for Sportsmen and Those in
Search of Recreation.
L. p. Thibault and family who for the
past three weeks have been camping on a
tributary OF the Big Blackfoot, returned
home Wednesday evening. Louis reports
having had an immense time hunting
and fishing, aud says that he would have
stayed there for some time yet had it not
been for an accident to Eddie Bennett, one
of the party, who was thrown from his
horse and had his wrist broken, making it
necessary for him to return to reer Lodge
for surgical aid.
Mr.. Thibault says that game, both large
and small, is abundant in the vicinity OF
the Blackfoot, it having been driven down
from the main range by the fire which has
been burning in the range since July. He
also says that ranching and numbering are
two great industries on the headwaters,
and that it is the cattlemen's winter para
disc. Hay grows luxuriant y, thus enabling
the farmers to put up enough during the
fall to feed half the cattle in Montana dur
ing the winter. When feed is scarce on the
ranges during the cold weather, cattle own.
ers drive their herds over to the Big Black
country and pay the ranchers so much
the privilege of allowing their cattle to |
the cut and uncut hay. 1t is in that
that the Miners Lumber Co. gets |
most OF it's lumber. 1t is cut rearthe main
range and hoated down the Big Blackfoot
the Missoula. He reports that more
than a million feet of lumber are now
a lise in the river to be foated
lown.

Death of August Mueller.

August Mueller died last night at the
Sisters hospital at the age of 80 years.
the deceased al a native OF Frankfurt
am Main, Germany, and had been a resi-
dent OF the United States for about twelve
years. For the past five years he has
followed the bushes of a miner and
prospector in and about Butte. His
death was caused by typhoid fever,
which he contracted while prospect
ing in the Lowlands. He was the only son
of n OF the best families in Frankfurt,
and his death will be the source of bitter
grief to his aged parents, from
whom a family misunderstanding
bad separated him. August had a
large circle of acquaintance in Butte,
who in the course OF the last few years had
learned to love and respect him for his
many manly and sterling qualities. His
untimely death is to them q source oil grief,
and his memory will be kept green long
after his body has returned to the dust
rom whence it came.
Arrangements for his funeral have not
yet been made, BUT it will probably occur
1T 4 O'Clock this afternoon. His friends
will reseiye further notice Of the time and |
place OF the funeral 1
