NO MORE HEARINGS GRANTED.
The Commissioners Dispose of Liquor
Licenses for This Season.

The Commissioners Dispose OF Liquor
Licenses for This Season.
Ever since the question OF liquor licenses
was taken up by the Commissioners for this
season they have been overwhelmed with
petitions, requests, ETC., from those whose
licentes were rejected to be allowed rehear
ings. The Commissioners tried to deal with
every case in the most impartial manner, but
the matter finally became so troublesome that
an end had to be made of 1t. Yesterday the
Commissioners issued peremptory order to
the effect that all saloons not provided with
proper licenses should be closed at once.
The effect of this order is understood to
finally close the question of liquor licenses for
this year. 1t has run along for such period
and taken so much of the Commissioners
time that they decided to close it. The exact
number of saloons this order will effect is not
known, but It is believed to be large one.
When license was rejected by the
Commissioners the Police Department was
notified Of the fact and the applicant given
orders to close. In the case of a reopening of
the application 1t was understood, however,
that the saloonkeeper should not be disturbed
until his case was finally disposed of. a de-
duction was made for each day that his sa-
loon was open under these conditions from
the amount on deposit with the assessors.
This order means that no more hearings will
be granted and all saloons whose application
for license have not already been granted will
be closed at once.

THE EMPEROR OF CHINA.
The Young Celestial who May BE the
Last of His Dynasty.

There is a spirit of unrest in China and It is
not unlikely that 1t may culminate in revolu-
ton and change of rulers. The present EN-
peror is the ninth OF the Tartar dynasty,
which by large majority of the people are
looked upon as usurpers. "Out with the
Tartar therefore, is the cry for which every
Emperor OF China listens. Tsai-tien, the
present Emperor, was born in Pekin, August
is, 1871 His mother, the Empress Regent,
brought him up carefully. She is q wise

vicariously through "a whipping boy" who
received the blows instead of his imperial
master. The young Emperor, however, was
never real boy. Always yelled from vulgar
eyes, with miles of palace halls and vast ex-
panses of vari-colored silken hangings, he has
had, under the iron rule of Celestial prece-
dent, no opportunity of becoming acquainted
with the outside world. He was married in
1883. with great pomp to Tet-Ho-Na-Ha, a
daughter of Deputy Lieutenant General Knei

influence during his life, and he is now 20
years old and loyal to the present dynasty.

MORTGAGES.

In reference to mortgage paper, the
situation is like this: Eastern investors
confuse farm loans with city loans, and
one Western city with another. Large
numbers of companies have been organ
lied in this business with no other pur-
pose than to prey on the people with
capital Only a few of them have done
any business in this section. They have
confined their operations chiefly to Kan
sas City and the region tributary to it,
but there they have been at full blast
They have advanced money on totally
inadequate security to irresponsible
people, and have sold the notes to their
customers at distance, who have trust
ed TO their repreSentiOns that every
thing was in good shape. The day of
reckoning is come. and thousands on
thousands of foreclosures have been
made. Some of these mortgages were
on farms which yield nothing, and
the mortgage has strip of des-
EFT for his investment Some of
them were on town and city lots at
wickedly fictitious values. The history
of city real estate speculation goes
through three stages. First there is a
period of excessive activity in unim-
proved property. When this subsidies
there is boom in building operations.
Owners try to carry their lots by i'm
proving them, and in order to do so they
borrow on them. These loans are often
made on the basis of valuation inflated
because of the preceding excitement.
AS these things settle down the earnings
OF the property cease to be large enough
to carry it. 1t is abandoned to the
MORTGAGE, who wipes out the equity by
foreclosure, and getting it at low price
is able to sell it again at the same. This
levels the price of all property to the
price of that which has been foreclosed,
and things start anew from this lower
basis.
While town lots are in this second
stage, owners have been known In the
Southwest to borrow on them by lying
certificates as to their value more than
they were worth. and the investor who
is left with them on his hands, after en-
forcing his legal rights, feels sore and
disgruntled. This sort of brigandage
has hurt legitimate business in this
line as much as the troubles connected
with farm loans. st. Paul and Mime
apolis, which have been singularly free
from such wreckers, paw the penalty
for their exploits in other places. AS
was suggested at the beginning, the
Eastern capitalist does not make accu-
rate distinctions among points of the
compass. He knows that his neighbor
lost something in Nebraska. and rela-
tive something in Kansas City, and he
instinctively hesitates to venture away
from home. The sturdy yigor and hon
est strength of the Twin Cities have to
be presented to him with eloquent
tongue if he is to be treasured. The
currents of business life run in such
closely braided fluids that a shock at
one point is felt at all connected ones

mum rate of 5 or per cent. If money
were drug on the market or bound to
find some resting place at any cost. per-
haps such returns would be attractive.
But why under the sun should an insur-
ance company buy bond of a sparsely
settled hamlet struggling for existence
on Minnesota or Dakota prairie when
it might get the same or higher III
come by purchasing the paper of indi-
viduals or institutions whose solvency
is unquestioned, and whose every move
ment they can watch because they are
made in its neighborhood and under its
eye? Tosum up. then, corporation bonds
are dull for other reasons, and because
some Of their class have been brought
into disfavor by mismanagement, and
municipal bonds are dull because an i'm
possible attempt has been made to
market them at very low rate of in

BONDS.

When we come to inquire into the
causes, great many suggest them
selves which it would be dreary to cat
alogue in eXtenso. Nothing is truer
than the oft-repeated comments made
on the timidity of capital. Anybody
with experience knows that there is
very little difference between a rich
fool and rich philosopher. Some men,
of course, acquire wealth through their
great ability; but big returns are just as
frequently the fruit of chance as of de-
sign. Investors really know very little
about the probable outcome OF ventures
which they make. They go into one
thing, and keep out of another, for ut
terly inadequate reason. and, if they ac-
cumulate fortune by their course, they
are said to be very shrewd. If they lose
one, they are clasSed with the incompe-
tents.
One thing the average capitalist sell
dom does, and that is to buy security
which has received black eye. no mat
ter how intrinsically valuable it may be.
They are all AFRAID of it. Let
water works companies in one
place get into trouble, and it will
affect adversely all other waterworks
companies, in spite of their profits and
prosperity. Investors can not stop to
discriminate. Their methods compel
them to prompt decisions without very
close examinations. This will partly
account for the feeble demand there is
for the bonds of Western quasi-public
corporations doing business in small
cities. In 1888 Judge GRESHAM, in the
case of the Galesburg, ILL.,, Waterworks
company, rendered very remarkable
dec.slor. He held, in effect, that mu-
nicipality had the right to declare
water company's charter forfeited if it
gave inefficient service. without regard
to the claims of its bondholders. and
without giving them notice and an op-
portunity to remedy the defects com
planned of. His position will probably
be ultimately reversed, but since that
time the paper of such organizations
has waned in popularity. During the
same period several such companies in
the West have defaulted in the interest
OH their bonds and gone into the hands
of receivers. Towns which seemed large
enough to sustain them have faded
away. as Western towns sometimes will,
and those who have banked on their
success have lost heavily in conse-
quence. The news of such disasters
travels fast, and makes it hard to sell
the bonds even of companies which
have everything to recommend them.
The dull market for municipal bonds
is not due to any reputation which has
brought them into discredit, because
there has none of that, but because of
the preposterously low rates of interest
which they carry. Tie enabling acts in
Minnesota usually require such paper To
