ABUSES IN THE YOSEMITE VALLEY.
Their True Inwardness to Be Brought Out
by an Investigation.

Their True Inwardness to Be Brought Out
by an Investigation.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 12-[Special 1-There
is q good prospect that the facts in regard to
the management Of Yosemite Valley will
soon be brought to the Governments at
tention. and that the valley will soon pass
from under the control of the State
Commission. Last night Captain Wood,
of the Fourth Cavalry, and Special
Agent Spaers, of the United States land
office, started for Yosemite. The captains
mission is to select a camp for his cavalry
troop that will patrol the National park
surrounding the Yosemite valley. Speers'
duty is to ascertain the abuses that have
grown up in the valley and against which
eastern and foreign tourists have CON-
planned.
Some Of the principal abuses are these:
Exaction OF tolls on all roads leading into the
valley, which is a heavy tax on camping par
ties and travellers, allowing squatters to re-
tain ranches in the south " estern part of the
reservation. In the valley itself abuses
are numerous, but the most fagrant abuse
of the prettiest part Of the valley Is to grow
hay for horses. and exorbitant prices are
charged forsaddle norses and guides. The
State Commission has winked at the very
monopoly in the valley that bears heavily
on tourists,

COMMERCIAL AGENCIES, LIABILITY.

COMMEhClAL AGENCIES' LIABILITY.
If the verdict rendered in New York in
the case of the City National Bank of
Birmingham against r. G. Dun & Co. is
to stand as precedent, the commercial
agencies must change their methods of
business or put up their shutters. The
case was one in which the plaintiff asked
the defendant for report on the standing
of man, and, the report being favorable,
the bank discounted paper and when the
debtor failed sued the agency for the
amount and recovered Judgment
This puts the commercial agency in the
light of an guarantor of the liabilities
of those whom they report to be worthy
of credit The impossibility of such an
attitude is plain from the fact that there
is no definite limit to the credit which
may be extended after the favorable re-
port has been made. 1t should be said
that the charge of Judge Shipman in the
case was clearly that the claim against the
agency could not be upheld except on
proof that its report was made fraudulently
or negligently. Whether the jury found
any evidence of fraud or negligence does
not appear in the reports; but after such
a charge it can be presumed that the
verdict for the full amount of the claim
with interest was simply one of those
peculiar eccentricities of the jury system
that are observed at occasional intervals
If this verdict establishes the rule the
commercial agencies will have their choice
between voluntarily winding up their
affairs or having it done for them by the
Sheriff. Itwould place on their shoulders
the burden of paying for large share of

SINCE State Legislatures are supposed to
be elected by popular suffrage, it is hard to
understand why they should be better
qualified to elect United States Senators
than are the voters whom they represent.
Yet it appears to be Senator Chandlers
opinion that the people are not to be trusted
with the direct power of choosing Senatorial
representatives.

BEFORE the Worlds Fair Commission

yesterday, in speaking of expenses neces-

Thatcher said: I'm this country it would
not be fair to ask competent men to act
without recompense." This is perfectly
true, and it is sad indication of the preva-
lent American patriotism which almost uni
versally demands a monetary return for its
servicea.
