JERSEY INJUSTICE.

Connecticut hasn't very good right to throw stones at other easy-charter grant ing States, but it is interesting to notice some of New Jersey's performances. Attention has been called to them by the collapse of the 'beneat" companies in Philadelphia. It appears that more than one hundred of these concerns, which have been doing business in Philadelphia and other parts of Pennsylvania, were re- gently chartered in New Jersey, and that the charters cost $1.75 apiece. All that was necessary to do was for not less than three promoters to meet in Camden and sign paper in declaration of the pur- poses of their organization, which declara- tion was always thereafter called the charter. The three promoters were not even under the necessity of making affidavit that the purposes of thei, proposed corporation were such as were set out in the law. This paper was then taken to the clerk of the county court who, on payment of 25 cents, was required to file it. For certificate by the county clerk, attested by the county seal, the clerk was authorized to charge S1. 50 in ad dition. The signers were then empowered to adopt a corporate seal and go into tho business.
 No wonder ex-Judge Pancoast of Cam den feels moved to remark: ''It is to tn, great discredit of New Jersey; but unde
 the law irresponsible men can come here
 organize a corporation without any capi
 tai or with bogus capital based on patents get charter, and issue lot of stocl

language is that of Cingaless, which the Veddas have acquired in time, but they still use a few words of their original lan- guage. These words of the ancient Ian guage present great differences in villages which are often only a few hours distant from each other.
 The life of the Veddas is of the simplest kind imaginable. A bow, arrows, hatch cts, two small pieces of wood for kindling fires, tortoise shell for a bowl, a girdle for the waist composed of leaves and creepers-these comprise their whole household goods. They buy iron blades for their batchets and iron points for their arrows from the Cingalese in exchange for honey, wax and meat. No traces of stone weapons were discovered, though the ex- plorers made diligent search by digging in the hollows
 The pure Veddas are characterized by an almost total absence of wants, an intense love of personal liberty and a marked sense of honor, which regulates their mu- tual relations better than written laws. Theft seldom occurs among them. The higher Indian races are inveterate liars. while the pure Vedda is noted for truth telling. Murder only takes place in cases of the intidelity of a wife, and then very rarely

 There are those who think the silver craze has not yet done harm enough. Such persons will be pleased with the work in behalf of silver which the Salt Lake Tri- bune is-doing. The Tribune is engaged in a crusade to raise money for the national silver committee to use in bringing ''press- ure behind congress and the president" and everybody else in the interest of free coinage This is the way the Tribune talks to the mine owners: ''The mining company that expects to take out $100, ,000 or $500, ,000 from their mine next year ought to understand that the difference be- tween silver as it nowis, and silver remone- tized, would in the first case result in giving them $50, 900 more than they now have; in the other, in giving them $150, ,O0O." For this reason the mining companies ought to come down literally, and this is what the committee will do with the mon- ey when they get it. We believe that by the expenditure of $40, ,O0O or $50, 900, the boards of trade of Chicago and New York, and even of old goldite Boston, could be made to pass resolutions asking congress to give full recognition to silver, The sil- yer committee, who are working for re- monetization, think that with small amount of money used this year, right away, they could bring such a pressure behind congress and the president next winter as to secure needed legislation. That legislation would make to the men who produce silver in this territory a diff ference of s3, ,0OO, ,OO0 year.
 This is interesting and ingenious. The silver miners can well afford to spend $50, ,000 to carry out this we'll formed scheme
