b. 8 o. Preparing for Big Business.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 11.-At the regular monthly
meeting of the board of directors OF the Balti-
more & Ohio road today, a lengthy preamble aud
resolutions were adopted, setting forth the
financial operations of the past three years and
declaring dividend of 70 per cent. upon the
common stock for the period ending September
80, 1891. During the past three years the COM
pany has deemed it wise to spend
the entire earnings and income in
much needed additional constructions,
betterment of the system OF equipment, etc. In
view OF the large expenditures which will be
required for the improvements necessary to
avail itself of the large business expected to
grow from the Worlds fair, the directors re-
solved that the issue of common stock to the
par value of s5,o96,000 be authorized, the presi-
dent and finance committee being empowered
to sell the issue in whole or In part when
deemed expedieut. There was no division of
opinion between the president or members of
the committee as to this action.

FRESNO, Cal, Nov. 11.-Gardner Landon, ir,
secretary-treasurer and Pacific coast agent of
the Curtis Fruit Company, of this county, has
been discovered short in his accounts between
5000 and $4,000. The packing house
and vineyard of the company is
at Oleander, eight miles south of
Fresno. Lapdon is now in San Francisco He
has made partial restitution to the company
and has promised to restore the balance. Por-
tons OF the shortage are understood to be over
drafts on ii. NJ. Newhall & Co, of San Francisco
but the latter are amply secured.
ST. PAUL, Nov. ia Pioneer Press Huron, g.
D., special says: The reports of frauds at the
Cheyenne Indian agency have been confirmed.
The amount out of which the government has
been defrauded is estimated at S25000. Agent
Palmer declared that he had no knowledge of
the wrongdoing and false returns until his at
tention was called to it by the inspector. Others
besides Palmer, Shoenfeldt and Denway are said
to be implicated.

you for what you have done?' Judge Vaughn
gallantly replied: "You have already paid all 1

Mr.. Ingalls, and the Alliance,

The announcement has been made that ex-
Senator ingalls, has definitely determined to
cut loose from the Republican party, and SO
shape his course as to become a leader
OF the new agrarian and socialistic move
ment which has begun in Kansas, and
now shows signs of running the course that
similar movements have run before. We do
not know that Senator Ingalls, has authorized
any such announcement; and it may be one
of those newspaper stories called "fakes."
But Mr.. ingalls, has been making some
speeches lately which are directly in line
with such course of conduct as is attributed
to him. At Philadelphia not long ago he
expressed the opinion that the farmers
movement in Kansas would be permanent in
its results, and he expressed sentiments In
that speech which might be construed, with
out unfairness, as preparing the way for his
definite abandonment of the Republican
party. Even Jerry" Simpson has compli-
mented Ingalls,. and spoken Of him as pos
sible shining light of the Alliance movement.
In view Of all these facts it would not be
surprising If there were considerable truth
n the story that the Third Party is likely to
receive the powerful aid of Mr.. Ingalls, ra-
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1891-03-31

pier In coming contests. There is nothing In
Mr.. lngalls's record within the last year to
make such a step on his part improbable.
Always clamorer for the righting of the
political wrongs of Republicans in the South,
ne was one of the first to grow lukewarm
towards the federal election bill when he
found the fate Of that bill possible condi-
ton in determining the results Of his own
contest Tor reelection. His speech upon
the silver question contained enough dema-
goguery about capitalists to have suited ore
OF Dennis Kearney's audiences, In short.
Mr.. lngalls's course from the time when he
found himself at the mercy of the Alliance
mas peen entirely unworthy of man who
laid claim to craftsmanship. 1t has been,
moreover, gross betrayal of the band of
loyal Republicans in Kansas who have stood
by him unwaveringly throughout it all; and
who are now left leaderless in defeat, while
the versatile Mr.. Ingalls, goes coquetting with
the enemy.
1t Is not to be denied that the accession Of
man of Mr.. Ingalls's brilliant intellect to
the ranks of the new farming and industrial
movement would add considerable to its
power. His faculty for making clear state
ments of any question, his wit, his vitupera-
tive aud picturesque methods of demoishing
an adversary and his readiness as writer.
debater and stump speaker will always make
him popular and formidable The Farmers
Alliance led by Ingalls, would be like an In

edge, sharp and heavy, though not durable.

The recent denial by Sir John Macdonald
that British Guiana had rejected the over
lures of Canada for reciprocal arrange
ment between the two countries is pretty
conclusively answered by an extract from an
address by Viscount Gormanston, Governor
general of British Guiana, in which he says
that he replied to Canada's overtures that
while anxious in every way to facilitate
and promote the extension of commercial
relations between British Guiana and Can
ada. he could not encourage the government
of the Dominion to believe that the con sent
of his government would be given to any
differential treatment which would exclude
the sugars of Guiana from admission to the
markets of the United States on the most
favorable terms"

The lady who folds away her seal skin
sacque this spring may be pardoned IL she
looks at her possession with considerable
satisfaction. The report of the recent Lon
don fur sales shows that next year it will
undoubtedly take considerably more wealth
to get seal skin than 1t took last fall The
stock of skins held now is only about 60 per
cent of the amount held last year. Prices
for dressed seal skins are now from 80 to 80
per cent. more than in 1890, which makes the
price of the finished garment from 20 to %
per cent. higher. At the recent sales very
few skins were sold; and dealers fear that
unless the Behrlng sea question is settled
speedily by the arbitrators the seals will be
so diminished in numbers that the supply of
skins will be Insignificant. 1t is believed
that already the Alaskan rookeries are sadly
depleted. perhaps partially through the greed
of the company which had the lease previ-
GUS to the letting of the lease to the present
company. But rigid system of pro election
will enable the seals to recover their num-
bers in the course of years. Fifty years age
the Russians found that their improvidence
had nearly ruined the rookeries; but by
carefully guarding them for series of years
an annual catch of 100000 seals was ulti-
mateIy enjoyed.

CURRENT COM M EMIT.
RESPECTFULLY REFERRED TO THE MAINE
LEGISLATURE.
TAlbany Journal


CAlbany Journal
Legislation which is the direct response to
a popular craze is quite apt to be bad legisla-
ton and this criticism applies especially to
taxation and other economic matters In
which passion, prejudice and sentiment have
no proper part.
The Legislature of New York Just at pres
ent is giving publicity to propositions of tax
Of capital away from California during the
put q stop to the influx of Eastern capital in.
to Kansas, Nebraska and the other granger
states of the West.
There is no other state of the Union in
which the problem Of taxation is so c0mpli-
Gated as In New York. For here we have
important and influential agricultural, man
ufacturing. financial and commercial inter-
ests situated side by side, each with special
preferences as to taxation: and general laws
are demanded which shall embrace them all
and operate equitably on each.
The proceedings in the Legislature pre-
sent abundant evidence not only that craze
is on the people of the agricultural districts
regarding the taxation of personal property,
but that the ignorance of the first principles
of taxation on the part of the average legis-
lative agitator is as dense as night.
In the present incoherent condition Of
Legislative and public sentiment on the
problem of taxation it is clearly evident that
no measure, certainly no proper measure,
can be enacted into law at the present
session. We shall probably have an extern
sive airing of eloquence, some startling
propositions will be elucidated, and on the
whole some educational progress will be
made.

The action of the legislature in recommend
ing to the Governor the reorganization of the
militia is step in the right direction; and
one that has been in the minds of many citi-
zens who take an interest In the militia. 1t
has been discussed among the officers inter-
ested in the welfare of the militia. and es-
pecially in its relation with the military es-
tablishment of the Federal government
The recommendation gives the sanction Of
the legislature to such action by the Gov
ernor to strengthen him in his position and
to give additional weight to an application
to the general government for necessary as
sistance The change in view comprises
battalion formation for the militia and a
division of training for sea coast service.
such as is given the militia of other coast
states. 1t is proposed to instruct these bat
talions in heavy ordnance tactics; and as
surance has already been received from the
Secretary of War that officers from the
regular army will be detailed for the pur-
pose. This will be an advance step Of prac-
tical advantage to the state and national
government, in that, should occasion re-
quire, the forts along our coast may be
garrisoned Immediately with men familiar
with the requirements of such service. The
three thousand miles of our sea coast would
then have some protection; and any emer-
gency that might arise would not find us
wholly unprepared. We are glad to see
action and hope those in charge of the mill
tia will carry ont the proposed changes with
business like methods and infuse new life
and enthusiasm into our small force.

Some of the opponents of the new ballot
law are not content to let the discussion drop
now that the law is reposing safely on the
statute books, and have been endeavoring to
discredit the act in the eyes of Republicans
by claiming that 1t is the result of an unholy
coalition between minority of Republicans
and the Democratic party. How unfounded
these claims are will beseen by glance at
the vote. In the Senate the ballot bill was
passed by vote of 81 to 10. OF the 81 yeas
four were Democrats and seventeen were
Republicans. Therefore in the Senate the
ballot bill had the support of II Republicans
and the opposition Of 10 Republicans.
Therefore, in the Senate 1t is quite eviden t
that there was no coalition necessary, but
that the bill was passed by straight-out
Republican majority. In the House 40 Re-
publcans and SO Democrats voted for the
bill. and 60 Republicans voted against it.
But it is difficult to see how this fact consti-
tutes proof or even the suspicion of a coali-
ton. Opposition to the ballot bill has never
been matter of the Republican party's
creed in this State that we know of. Ifit
has we should like to know who made it
such. The Republican Senators evidently
did not consider the ballot bill adverse to
Republican creed, for II voted for the bill to
10 who voted against it, In the House party
lines were not drawn, and the only meLtion
Of party made was by certain individuals
who. finding that they could not ha We their
own way, raised the foolish cry that the bal
lot bill would defeat the Republican party If
it should become law. Forty Republicans
In the House believed In the bill and voted
for it. They violated no article of party
creed, they disregarded no plank in the plat
form of their party, they departed in no way
from the principles followed by their fellow
Republicans in other States, many of them,
notably those from Cumberland county and
the city of Portland, were instructed by res.
olutions from their county conventions, their
city conventions or their city governments.
What is the authority which now presumes
to read to these men lectures as to their du.
ties as Republicans, and to defame them
with unfounded charges of coalition with
Democrats ?
