A WISCONSIN DECISION.

Judge NEWMAN. of Wisconsin, YES
terday filed an opinion of vital interest.
not only to number of ex-officials i'm
that state, but to others in nearly eyery
state in the Union. The decision is
favorable to the state in an action
against a number of eX-state treasurers
to recover interest On public moneys re-
tanned by said eX-treasurers. together
with accrued interest since the explra.
ton of their terms of office. This de-
cision is in line with the views of the
Democratic party in Wisconsin. 1t will

the leading issues in the campaign ter

Should the decision of Judge NEWMAN

A YOUNG MANS FOLLY.

1t appears that yonng Irving shot
himself because he deSpaired of ever
being great actor. Here at last is a
true attempt to elevate the stage.-Chi-
cagO Times.
Henry IrvIng's son has attempted sui
eide because he thought he couldn't be
as great man as his father. Russ
Harrison will not commit suicide on
this account.-lndianapo Sentinel.
Lowrence Irving made a mistake in
deciding to kill himself because he
could not act as well as his father.
If he wanted to die he should have
acted trifie more badly than James
Owen O'Connor. The audience would
have looked after the executlon.-Buf-
falo Enquirer.
Henry lrying's son is expected to re-
cover from his self-lnflicted pistol
wound. So it appears that the young
man cannot make hit as pistol shot
any more than he can as an actor. AS
a marksman, he may therefore be re-
garded as an utter and hopeless failure

HARDLY CONSISTENT.

Some of the Alliance or reform papers
Of the state have severely criticised an
organization reported TO be in course of
formation, termed the Knights of Rec
iprocity. The members of this society
are said 20 be pledged to the work of
electing Secretary BLAINE to the preSi-
dency, and the various branches begin
work with full supply of grips, pass
words and other paraphernalia sup
posed TO be the exclusive property of
secret societies. The objections OF the
papers in question to this organization
are based upon the secret feature of the
Knights of Reciprocity. Secret political
societies, one of them well says, are
dangerous things, and have no place in
a government like ours. But in this
connection. is it not strange that the
words of our Saviour, which are found
in the grandeSt sermon ever preached
on earth, do not occur to the Alliance
: editor. They are:
And why beholdest thou the mote that is
in thy brothers eye, but consi derest not the
beam that is i'll thine own eye?
In this same organ of the reform
cause are columns of praise of the AL
lance and the Peoples party, but not
one word -condemning the prOpositio on
to make the Farmers Alliance of Min
nesota gigantic secret society, polit-
ical from top to bottom. If it is wrong
for the Republican admirers of JAMES
q. BLAINE to band themselves together
i'll secret societies to work for the cleo
ton of their favorite to the presidency,
Is it not also wrong for the farmers of
the nation to work for the success of
their party under cover and away fro m
the light of day? Even the reform press
can afford to be fair in discussions of
matters like this. No one will deny that
secret political societies are wrong and
have no place in the government of
free, enlightened and intelligent people;
but they are no better in country than
in city. The members of the Peoples
party have no more right TO belong to a
secret political society than have Re-
publicanS or Democrats, and the good
sense of the people will so decide.
AS matter of fact, the reform press,
in its criticisms of the so-called Knights
of Reciprocity, has laid itself open to
attack without resulting advantage.
While there may he rattle-brained in
dividuals who would like to join a secret
political party, such as the Knights of
Reciprocity, they are few, and confined
to the WILLIAM HENRY EUsTIsEs of
the country. No sane man believes
that such an organization will be start
ed, and. even should it come into exist
ence, it could do nothing. But the Mime
sofa Alliance is already secret society,
and, like the Kansas organization, will
hereafter use grips and passwords and
labor in secret. Mrs. LEASE, the Kan
sas screamer, may not take much stock
in the Sermon OH the Mount, but there
are great many people IN, this state
who will beg to disagree with even her
on that point. The reform press should
be consistent on this question. Let
them denounce secret political societies,
but let them do it regardless of party,
and the great body of law-abiding peo-
pie will be found with them all the
time.

A CAPITOL. STORY.

Two state officials were discussing the as
pect of the Chilian war cloud at, the capitol
yesterday, and tine discussiye talk finally
shaped Itself into expressions of individual
preferment.
Il would like to be an officer and take an
active part in a campaign" said one. SIT
would be exhilerating, and have penchant
for excitement
We'll, If were to have my choice Iwould
prefer to be quartermaster." returned the
other. The pay IS good and the opportuni-
ties are great
Yes; that is true. 1t reminds me OF a
story. A soldier who served i'll the war of
the Rebellion, as a quartermaster. is now
an inmate of the soldiers home, living off
the bounty of the state and nation. But it is
all his own fault. His profiigacy ran him
through quarter of million of dollars in
few years after the war, and he made all that
money through the peculiar opportunities of
his office during the later years of the war.
He wanted TO be sport and he became the
dupe of sharper sports than he. He wanted
to emulate Robert Bonner, and he
paid big price for q certain trot-
ting horse that won race at the state fair
If l remember Alright the horse trotted in 2:25
great time for that day. But I always sus-
pected the watches we're fixed, for it was
known that the record. If satisfactory, iu-
sured good sale. The horse was on the de-
cline. and was never able to win a race after
wards. The quartermasters fortune be-
gan to wane also, and his habits soon re-
duced him until he disposed of all his prop
erty aud then his wealth of diamonds went
to the pawnbroker. A few years ago at the
races my attention was attracted by a little
jamboree IN front Of the grand stand This
of rh
pus. He hadn't money enough to buy
ticket to the grand stand, so he sneaked in
and sat down on pail in front. One of the
roustabouts detected the covert act and
kicked him out What fall was there, 1
thought. Only a few years before he was
the lion of the same track, sought for by all
the jockeys and horsemen. and now they lit
orally kicked him out because he hadn't a

THE SUPREME LAW.
Important Ruling on an Immi-
grant Case.

grant Case.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S.-An opinion
of Importance In its construction of the
immigration laws was rendered in the
United States supreme court today IN
the case of Nishimura Elkin, appellant,
VS.. the United States. Nishimura Elkin
is Japanese woman, to whom entry
into the United States was refused on
the ground that she was likely to be-
come public charge. 1t was also al
legged that she was coming to the United
States for immoral purposes.
The ruling of the immigration officers
was contested, and it was sought to have
the federal courts, ore an application of
habeas corpus, review the facts i'm the
case. The government contended that
the ruling Of the treasury department.,
with reference to entry of immigrants.
was final, and not reversible by the
courts. This contention of the govern
ment the supreme court today sustains.
1t hold that the court can only decide
whether or not immigration officers
were duly appointed, and acted in con-
formity with the directions of the act,
and that their conclusions as to whether
or not the facts, with reference to any
Immigrant, brought such Immigrant
within the class prohibited from the
United States is renewable only by the
treasury department.

STOCKHOLDERS LIABILITY

eSterday the Judges of the supreme
curt of Minnesota handed down some
decisions that are far-reaching in their
applica ton and of momentOus interest,
not only to corporations doing business
i'll the state. but to individual creditors
thereof. Virtually the court holds that
stockholders in corporation are liable
for corporate debts to an amount equal
to their subscription, and that i'll this
respect there is no distinction between
unpaid and paid-up capital; between
stock subscriptions and any other as
sets of the corporation.
The court, however, makes a diStinc-
ton between bona fide creditors, be-
coming such III good faith during the
Solvency of The corporation, and parties
who may purchase claims against an
insolvent corporation. for purposes of
speculation. Here the court holds that
where creditor asks for relief against
a stakeholder he must show his own
equities emitting him to such relief.
While it is true that he may enforce a
valid claim against the full amount of
the chartered capitalization of the cor
pOIation sued, at the same time pay
ment can never be enforced in favor of
one who became a creditor after the
corporation had become inSOlvent and
its affairs placed in the hands of re-
ceiver. Thus it appears from the de-
cision rendered yesterday that the
stockholders of a corporation capital
lied for 81, 100000, with but $4,000 paid
in, are liable to the full amount of
Sl,000,000. provided the claim is held by
one becoming creditor in good faith
before insolvency of the corporation,
and who had relied upon representa-
tons Of the corporation that its capital
was actually s1,000,000. Equity will
only enforce payment in such cases as
the right of creditors to compel the
holders of bonus stock to pay for, con-
trary to their agreement with the corpo-
ration, rests neither upon an implied
contract nor upon any trust fund" doc
trine, but upon the ground of fraud. In
such cases the fraud consists solely in
Misrepresentation as to the actual
amount of working capital, whereby in
dividualS have been induced to give
credit to such corporation. The effect
Of this decision, as it appears, is mainly
to protect innocent creditors. while. at
the same time, serving as a check upon
those who desire TO speculate upon the
misfortuues of business enterprise
backed by wealthy stockholders. I'm
doubtedly it will lead to more general
understanding of the actual resources
available by corporations, and, perhaps
a broader distinction between nominal
and paid-up capital.

a RARITY INDEED.
Montanans See Very Wonderful
Mirage.

LEWISTON, Mont, Jan. 1S.-A won
derful mirage was distinctly visible
near this city yesterday afternoon. The
mirage has caused considerable alarm,
however, because it is feared that the In
dians may have started on the warpath
and encountered a party of hunters.
Through the vistas during the afternoon
the hunters and the red men could be
seen repeatedly to charge and retreat
The Indians were apparently well sup
Piled with ammunition, and by superior
numbers they finally succeeded in capt
urlng party of dozen hunters.
Those who witnessed the wonderful
scenic effect produced by the mirage
assert that they could distinctly see the
savages builu fires of fagots and burn
their captives at the stake. Midwinter
mirages in the clear. crisp atmosphere
of the Rockies are rare, and phenomena
of this character is usually a reproduc-
ton of real events or real sections Of
the country. So far as could be ascer-
tanned last night, the Indians on tho
reservations are peaceable.

times this year, as early in April the Sisseton
reservation is to be opened for settlement,
consisting OF 1900 quarter sections. Mr.. Pa
Quin anticipates an Oklahoma rush for this
land. as it is worth every way from SIS to S25
an acre. There is no better land in the
Northwest than TO be found in the Sisseton
reservation. 1t is well-watered and timbered
