How BottomIey and His Colleagues
Defrauded the Public.
LONDON, May A sensation was
caused by the disclosures arising from
the petition for wind-up of the Anglo
Austrian Printing Company. Everch
Hansard was its promoter. Managing
Director Bottomley of the Hansards'
Union, now a bankrupt, received 9S3, 500
out of e93,000 received from the share
holders as part price of the business he
was supposed to have acquired in
Austria. In addition Bottomley asked
for the total purchase money of 5000, ,000
Sir Horace Davey, in applying for an
order for compulsory wind-up of the
Anglo-Austrian, declared that Bottomley
had never any business Of any sort in
Austria to sell. The directorate of the
concern of which the recent Lord Mayor
lSaacs is Chairman, in September de-
clared a dividend of fifteen per cent, al
though the company never possessed any
business. Bottomley and the di-
rectors within single year di-
vided among themselves the whole
share of the capital subscribed. Inquiry
being threatened, they formed a commit
tee which appointed a liquidator con-
trolled by the directorate.
The Judge before whom the petition
was made ordered compulsory winding
up of the company's affairs and dismissed
the iquidator. A crop of prosecutions
arising from the affair is impending.

PARKS FOR THE CITY.

The Park Commissioners are meeting
with some criticism on account of their
supposed dilatoriness in action. Whether
that is Just or not, the policy they have
outlined Is strictly in accordance with the
intention of the charter-makers, and very
much may be said in its favor The critics
say that the Board should proceedsactveiy
to beautify the parks now owned py the
city and purchase more land.
The great objection TO this Is that the
commission has only few thousand DOL
lars at its disposal, which would be aD-
sorbed in very short time if it attempted
to lay out the small parks, and would COM
NIT the Board to an annual expense In
keeping up the work of improvement
The Commissioners are of opinion that
the city is not yet in such crowded con-
dition as to be in dire need of parks. Its
policy will be to carefully examine tracts
of land around the city and watch an OPP
portunity to acquire sufficient while its
price is comparatively low, and offer it as
valuable heritage to the coming city OF
10000 to 100000. There are two school Geo
tons in the neighborhood of Seattle which
will soon be put on the market, and one OF,
or part of one of, these the board is in
clined to think would make good invest
ment. 1t can be readily understood that
land not over-desirable for town lots could
be made very delightful and picturesque
resort.
The proposition to run the city into
debt TO the extent of $30o,000 or $4o0, 600 in
order to purchase the University grounds
is not likely TO meet with favor at the
hands of a people whose taxes are needed
for works Of more immediate necessity and
more utilitarian character. There is some
virtue in the suggestion to buy part of it
and make an open square, but it is not
improbable that should the tract be
throtn open to purchasers the buyer
would dedicate part of the hillside for
that purpose, provided the city would
beautify it, in order to enhance the value
of the remainder as residence property.

are legitimate in other states. And so 1t
goes The laws of the several states on
these vital and socially most important of
all subjects are . conglomeration of incon-
sistencies. making that exemplary and
proper in one state which is vice IN an
other, and confusing right with wrong In
8 manner that cannot but be destructive
70 high state of public morals.
That remedy is needed requires no
argument. Some claim that this can only,
or best, be effected by uniform laws en-
acted by congress. But this would require
the many formalities and the tedious de-
lays incident TO an amendment OF the
constitution. It is doubtful whether the
people are sufficiently impressed with the
Importance of the subject TO induce their
support of an amendment of the constitu-
ton for the purpose. This for the reason
that the vast majority do not contract
marriages of doubtful validity or care to
obtain divorces on any terms. But there
are few so welded to the present incon-
gruous system but that they would favor
reconcilement of differences and the
adoption OF uniformity among the states.
I This was advocated by the late Judge
David Davis, who believed it practicable.
He had given the subject long and pro-
found study, and suggested plan for the
governors of the several states each TO ap-
point one or more capable representatives,
and that these should meet in convention
and agree upon q marriage and divorce
system uniform in its rules and operation,
to be adopted by the legislatures of the
several states. By this means, in his
judgm emit, agreement could be reached
which would at least do away with the
most Objectionable features in the divorce
laws of some states, and that subsequent
progress would be natural and easy. But
it is probable that a general agitation OF
the subject, and presentation OF the
facts, would lead to a more immediate
sweeping reform.

The pending division of the Indian res
ervation at Puyallup, and the allotment to
the Indians, in severalty, of such and so
much as they need and can properly and
profitably use, is attracting general atten-
ton and commands general approval. as
tending to the highest benefit and improve
ment of the Indians, and to the public
benefit as well. These results will become
so palpable, and at so early date, that it
can hardly be doubted that the same pol
icy will be applied to the other vast and
rich reservations lying within this state.
The Yakima reservation, embracing a
large body of the finest agricultural lands
in this state or on this continent, and the
Colville and Moses reservations, rich in
minerals and diverse resources, embracing
millions of valuable acres capable OF sus-
tanning in comfort and prosperity large
civilized population, are dedicated to the
use of few hundred half-civilized or bar
barous creatures who have neither the ca
pacity nor the ambition to make proper
use of them. BY an absurd policy, born
OF unreasoning sentimentalism, they have
beed kept LAND poor" and have been load
ed down and embarrassed with riches
which they could neither enjoy nor use.
This policy has made these poor Great
ures and their holdings stand as an OBJ
struction in the pathway of progress, in
manner to prejudice their white neighbors
against them. and with no prospect or
possibility of profit or advantage to them
selves.
To say nothing of the great public bene-
fits to result from throwing open to settle
ment, and improvement, and to enterprise
all of these lands beyond generous allot-
ment to the Indians in severalty, it is be-
yond dispute that this would be the most
sensible and humane course if it had sole
reference to the interests of the Indians.
They would be better off if placed upon
tracts of reasonable dimensions, such as
they could conveniently use and care for,
in the midst or neighborhood of a prosper
Gus patronizing community, than on
great tracts, for which they can have no
possible use, so vast as to remove them
from the vicinity of patronage that
would support and make them comfort
able.
The government can in no way show a
wiser regard for the interests of these peo-
pie, nor in any way do more to promote
their welfare. than by extending TO all the
large reservations the policy pursued at
Puyallup of allotting TO the Indians so
much as they can protitably use. and
throwing the remainder open to settle
ment and improvement.

SEATTLE. FRIDAY. JUNE re-.


The issue of bonds to fund part of the
city's indebtedness having been author
lied by the electors, 1t now becomes the
duty Of the city council TO ratify that act
by the passage of an ordinance. The next
step Is 10 defend the city against threat
encd application for an injunction to re-
strain the city authorities from issuing the
bonds. If the usual course is followed a
motion will be made in the superior court,
and should that not be granted, appeal
will be taken to the supreme court.
The question is of very great importance
and the character of the supreme court OF
the state is such that no forced decision
viii be pronounced. 1t will be decided
entirely on its legal merits The result
viii be either that the city has not ex-
ceeded its power by the creation Of this
Indebtedness or that il has. The issue re-
wolves around the point whether the debt
was created at the time the warrants were
ordered to be issued or at the time when
the warrants were ratified by popular vote.
The mourning OF liability has been con-
doned, in measure, by the state, by the
passage of law authorizing the ratifica-
ton of indebtedness beyond the constitu-
tional limit, but the value of that law will
have to be determined. If the court de-
eide that the law is constitutional ii covers
the main ground, and forever closes any
avenue by which an attempt could be
made to reach Reputation.
But even If the court hold that there
Is any irregularity, no great harm viii re-
suit, beyond postponcment of the period
of relief. The next property valuation
will afford ample scope for the issue of
bonds which shall be within the limit and
yet cover the outstanding liabilities.
The people have very decisively declared
that they will assume the indebtedness,
and they will not be thwarted by legal OBJ
stacles not contemplated when the statutes
now called into question we're drafted.
