Certainly no distinction is made here
between speculative corporations and
business corporations. Gail acts of in
corporation" is the governors language.
Having shown just what the governor
recommended should be done or not be
done, let us see what Mr.. Woodbury. has
done to justify the accusation of at
tempting to gag the legislature The
resolution of Mr.. Woodbury., which is
made the basis of this accusation, SIM
ply provides that the various committees
of the legislature be instructed to report
unfavorably upon all acts of incorpora-
ton or application for special legislation,
when the object sought can be attained
under the general law. Governor Cleaves
recommended this action on the part of
the committee. That is as far
as he could go. Not being
member he could not introduce
resolution embodying his Recommended
ton. Mr.. Woodbury., being member of
t e legislature, could do SO and he did
do so, and because he did do SO he is i'm
mediately attacked by the Evening Elk
press and accused of trying to gag the
legislature. He asks the whole legisla-
ture to instruct its committees to follow
Gov. Cleaves's recommendation, he in
PRODUCES resolution containing that re-
quest, which is open to debate and dis
cussion, and which, before it can be
adopted. may be voted on by every mem
Der of both Houses and can only be
adopted by majority vote. and yet for
this act he is accused of introducing a
gag resolution. Who is gagged? The
Express seems to think the committees
are; but as the members of all the COM
mittees must vote on the resolution be-
fore it can be adopted, and majority
vote yes, if they are gagged they
do the gagging themselves. But
the Express says that all the
members or the cOmmlGIeo DelleVe IL LILO
governo IS recommendation and are dis
posed to follow it. If that be so what
possible difference can the proposed
instruction make, or what objection can
there be to it. except the one which our
correspondent suggests, namely, that 1T
is unnecessary? Why all this fuss about
Mr.. Woodbury's reso ution, all this talk
about gag law, and this solemn warning
that the state will not tolerate such law,
if as the Express virtually says, that res
olution simply commits the legislature
to a policy which the great majority
of its members are in favor of and which
they would be certain to follow without
any such instruction as is proposed? Ii
Governor Cleaves's recommendations
are wise, and the Express has warmly
endorsed them, it would seem to be
hardly consistent on its part to protest
against the legislature instructing its
committees to follow them.

LAKE AssAL.
One of the Wonderful Things of the
World.
IN. Y. SUM-

IN. Y. SUM-
The French government has just sold
to Mr. Chefneux the right to refine and
export salt from Lake Assal, one of the
most remarkable sheets of water in the
world. The lake is in the district OF
Obock, East Africa, only few miles
from the head of the Bay of Tadjourah.
The gentleman who has purchased the
concession agrees to pay into the colo
NAL office the sum of $4,000 year, and
if, during the fifty years that he is to
pay tax of twenty cents for every ton
in excess. The government will desig-
nate a part of the lake where the natives
may procure all the salt they want with
out tax or hindrance.
All along the edge of this little lake,
which comprises only sixteen square
miles, is bed of nearly pure salt about
a foot in thickness. The water of the
lake is so surcharged with salt that it is
impossible to. sink in it. The bottom is
apparently a bed of solid salt. The
heavy aters lave the bases of jagged
and PERCEPTIONS mountains which de-
scend to the edge of the lake, making it
almost impost impossible to travel
around it. Mr.. Chefneux will probably
carry on his work by floating machinery
on the lake and dredging in the salt bed
at it's bottom, though on the west side of
the lake an enormous quantity of salt is
in SIGHT when the lake is at its lowest
level.
Very little was known about Lake AS
sal until seven years ago. The few men
who had visited the lake were unable to
tell whence it derived its water supply.
The lake evidently had no outlet, and no
body was able to find single stream
flowing into it. The question was dis
missed with the answer that the lake
doubtless had subterranean afauents,
and it was left for Mr.. Henry Audon,
seven years ago, to solve the mystery
and prove that Lake Assal was indeed a
very exceptional sheet of water.
Mr.. Audon spent several days examin-
ing the shores, clambering with the
greatest difficulty along the rim of the
lake. He was about to give up the
fruitless search when he heard the MUIR
muir of little waterfall, and in few
brook running into the lake. Much to
his surprise he found that the water of
the brook was salt as the ocean, and
little while after it was proven beyond a
doubt that the ocean itself is the source
of Lake Assals water supply.
The lake is about 400 feet below the
level of the sea. 1t is not known that
three brooks from the Gubbet ell Karab,
little land locked bay at the extreme
western end of the Bay of Tadjourah,
conduct the waters of the Indian Ocean
inland about ten miles to this remarkable
depression. The salt, which the natives
have gathered, perhaps for ages, along
the edge of the lake, is carried to mark
cts hundreds of miles inland.

MAINE AT THE WORLDS FAR.

The bill now before the legislature ap-
propriating $4,000 additional for the
Board of the Worlds Fair Managers has
attracted good deal of attention. Some
of the States have asked to double their
appropriations. The original Maine ap-
preparation made by the legislature two
years ago was $4,000. 1t was thought
that this sum was insufficient to enable
the State of Maine to make creditable
exhibit, and subsequent events have
proven this to be correct. Of the $40,-
600 appropriation which the legislature
set apart, $4,000 is to be used in the con-
struction of the State of Maine building
which is intended for club house or
headquarters. the same plan being adopt
ed by nearly all the leading States. The
Maine Board of Commissioners was con-
fronted by this peculiar situation of af-
fairs when the plan of the $4,000 build
ing was submitted to the supervising
architect of the National Commission.
He at once declared that such building
as that could not be be allowed to be
placed upon the front lot facing Lake
Michigan, whic the Sons of Maine had
procured for the State of Maine building
In other words, if the State of Maine
Commission were to have the benefits of
the lots selected, they must put up
building costing no less than $4,000 or
$4,000. In it's dilemma the commission
appealed to the public, and received
$1,000 contribution in stone, slate,
screens and other fittings, and about
$1,000 in cash subscriptions. When the
cash subscriptions were made the COM
missioners promised the subscribers they
would treat this as a guarantee fund, and
ask the legislature, in case any addition
al appropriations were made, that this
sum, advanced for the credit of
the State, might be refunded. Massa-
chusetts appropriated $4,000 for its
building. The State of Maine exhibits
are reported to be coming in quite rapid
ly. Among those to be offered at the
expence of the State are the agricultural
genealogical, educational, fish and ship
building. The latter will attract great
deal of attention from outsiders as well
as from our own people, from the fact
ahat Maine has quite collection and
large varieties, all representing the pro-
gress of this branch of industry.
Of course it will be claimed by many
that the Commission should not keep
coming to the legislature asking it to
make valid their expen ing more than
ha been appropriated. The answer to
