Boston Transcript: Since the election is settled, no other question seems to be SO much discussed as the question of the monkey up the tree. Pretty much every body has taken sides in the controversy. The question is this: "I see a monkey up tree he sees me and gets behind the trunk of the tree. I start to go around him, and he keeps going around as I do, keeping the trunk of the tree between him and me. I reach the place started from with the monkey still opposite me on the tree Now, have been around the tree i; have I also been around the monkey ?" Spring the question and see how people take sides on it. It seems that the ladies for the most part take the ground that the man has not been around the monkey, be- cause he has kept himself on the other side of the tree all the time. One lady maintained her argument thus: "Why, she said, I tried it on my husband; had him for the monkey, and I took whisk broom and went around him, brushing his clothes. He kept turning around just as did, and when 1 had been clear around I had brushed only one side of him and one leg of his pantaloons. Now all the pro- fessors in Harvard university couldn't con- vince me that had been around that man, and neither had the man been around the monkey in the treew So the controversy goes wherever the question is preached.

The bill will come before the house on

that the chances for its passage in that

The Wells-Fargo Express company has
reduced its rates on fruits from California
to New Mexico. Good enough as far as
this goes, but it does not 90 far enough.
What is wanted is a reduction in rates
from eastern points to New Mexico and a
living rate for New Mexico fruits, especially
grapes, into Colorado and Kansas That
is what is desired and the company will
do well to comply with these desires. The
fruit growers OF this territory can drive
California fruit and grapes out OF the
Colorado and Kansas markets with lar
and just express rate. The Wells-Fargo
company has q monopoly OF the very
largest portion OF the express business OF
this territory; heretofore the interests OF
New Mexico fruit growers have been
neglected. This must change, and that
rapidly. The company will do well to
make the change and give New Mexico
fruit and grapes a fair rate to Colorado
and Kansas points.

THE New MExIcAN's information from
Washington is to the effect that Delegate
Joseph said, when the question OF united
push OF statehood matters was discussed
last Saturday, that he had written to
several prominent Democrats in New
Mexico as to whether the constitution
was acceptable, and that most OF the re-
plies he received were unfayorable.
Therefore he felt it incumbent upon him
self to oppose the movement. Mr.. Gli-
dersleeve said that for the present, from
his information, it was useless to push
the statehood matter. From his actions
it is evident that the Democrats will not
concede New Mexico's admission unit
after the November elections, and Their
only if New Mexico is Democratic.

the provisions OF which it became the

need no construction, for they ex-
plain themselves beyond a doubt
The act, therefore, of calling meet
ing under the circumstances is min
isterial or executive act, and IS IN no
degree a judicial one; the officer has
no discretion in the matter, but must
call meeting upon receiving legal
request so to do.
This being the case 1t was not for
the respondent to look to the object
of the proposed meeting,and because
he considered it illegal to refuse to
call it; the charter places no such
responsibility upon him, and gives
him no such discretion in the matter.
The act of calling meeting under
such circumstances being purely
ministerial act, the President IN call
ing it could not be regarded as hav-
ing committed himself to any par
ticular views relating to the object
of the meeting, but would be as free
at such meeting as any one else to
combat or support any resolutions
offered
Neither is it for the Court to con-
slider the object of the proposed
meeting, for having decided that the
act in question is ministerial one,
all questions relating to the proposed
business are foreign to the issue be-
fore this Court, which is without
Jurisdiction in the private affairs of
the corporation until its remedial
interference is applied for from the
standpoint of legal rights or obliga-
tons, to compel or prevent acts ne
cessary or injurious to such legal
rights and obligations.
The respondent in second brief
filed after the trial, raises a point OF
law in the nature of demurrer to
the petition to the effect that " If the
corporation has been debarred of any
inherent right or privilege it would
rest with the corporation to com
plain" and not the petitioners, whc
are small part of the corporation
This point is rather late in the case
and the petitioners have had no op
portunity to meet it. We notice il
this connection that it is not the cor
poration, but the petitioners, who, a
a third of the corporation, have beer
bebarred of right which is affirma
lively given to them by the charter
A peremptory writ of mandarin
may issue to the respondent, com

"The steamer must have been set

had been no fire kindled in the YES
sci since Thursday morning. so that

Ire destroyed also, but the strong
east wind which prevailed at
the time carried it beyond
the buildings before any damage
was done. The bow cod Of the
7NNAA-NA was thltAGlN huEltA. We
managed to save the stern emu: but
of course, as it i, it is almost Z com
plete loss. We can not make ary
further use Of il. Some Of the MEM
bers Of our household, upon return
ing home about , O'Clock on SUNDAY
morning, heard noise in the
grounds, but could see no one.
Tracks were afterwards discovered
however, showing that some person
had been about there on horseback,
and had jumped one Of the side
fences. a little after midnight the
young man at the gate saw a sus-
piclous looking character lettering
about there, but he soon moved |
away. At the time he attached no |
importance to the circumstance.
That individual may or may not |
have had something to DO with the |
hiring Of the steamer, but so far we
are in the dark over the natter,
