THE coRoAae TRUST.

watered stock.

NAtereu StOcAs
The cordage trust is to be 're-or-
ganized" says the St. Louis Post Dis
patch, with assets worth 81, 600, =
900 to sl7, 900, 900, represented by
stocks and bonds purporting to be
worth s34, 600, 600. The old concern
was capitalized at s25, 900, 600, but
having gone through bankruptcy and
been happily 're-organized, that
modest sum need not suffice. A cool
80, 600, 600 Is created by fiat and the
consumers of cordage will have to pay
it through monopoly profits. The
oyercapitalization Of corporations Of
this kind measures the value of the
privilege they enjoy. Sooner or later
the stock holders of such concerns who
are not mere bandits expect the securi-
ties to pay good dividends. In this
case of the cordage trust six per cent.
is anticipated on S34, 900, 600, which
is equivalent to at least twelve per
cent. on the amount actually invested /;
aud probably it would be nearer eigh-
teen per cent. The current rate is
five or six, but the monopoly privileges
possessed by this company are worth
six to twelve per cent. more.

Judge Gary, who presided in the
Haymarket anarchist trial, has handed
down a decision from the Appellate
court which marks departure in llli-
nois Jurisprudence The decision in
the case of the West Chicago Street
Railway Company VS.. V. d. Groshon.
Judge Gary in the opinion takes up
the question of the treatment accorded
witnesses by the plaintiffs attorneys,
one of whom was ex-Judge Wing, lead
Ing counsel for the defense in the
Cou.hlan case. A verdict of S25, 900
for the plaintiff had been given and
Judge Gary reversed the decision, Civ
ing as one of his reasons, the manner
in which Groshen's counsel attacked
the witnesses.
Witnesses should not be insulted
when on the stand, says his opinion,
NOR should an examination be a con-
test of skill or nerve between the wit
moss and lawyer. In this state the
courts have so little control over pro-
ccedings that really no other way is
left to enforce decorum toward wit
nesscs and in the addresses to the
jurors than to grant new trials for the
breaches of it.

MR.. CAREY'S BILL.
Introduces II MeaNure Providing for =
Ccssiou of the Arid Lands to
States,


States.
Senator Carey, of Wyoming has in
,roduced into the Senate bill not on
ly of importance to Wyoming, but to
every state containing ARID lands.
These states are Colorado, Nevada,
Idaho, Montana, California, Oregon,
Washington, North Dakota, South Da-
kota and tho territories Of Arizona,
Utah and New Mexico.
Mr.. Carey's bill, in brief, provides
for the donation by the federal gov
ernment of one million acres of arid
lands to each state in which such lands
are located, provided the state re-
claims such lands and puts them into
the hands Of actual settlers. as it done
under the homestead laws, giving each
settler 100 acres.
Mr.. Carey favors the plan rather
than the proposition to give all the
arid lands in the respective states to
those states. The acreage of such
lands is so extensive in some states
that he believes it would lead to
waste, whereas, with his bill, the land
would be promptly cared for and re-
claimed, and when that was accom-
plished additional legislation would be
had The bill requires that the lands
ceded to the states shall be reclaimed
within six years and not more than
300, 900 acres are to be set over to the
states in any one year. All lands, ex-
elusive of timber and mineral lands,
which will not, without irrigation, pro-
ducc some agricultural crop, shall be
deemed arid lands under the provis-
ions of the bill.

the grand jury told of the existence of
the band, their location and manner Of
doing business. Sunday night Park
was called to the door of his home and
assassinated. He lived long enough
to say that S. s. Sims, one of the

arrest and posse is now searching for
