SOME sPEcULATIONs
Relative to Bond Issues by Railroad Com.
panies In Two Laws,

paniss In Two Laws.
1t will be remembered that some
time ago the Rio Grande and North
ern railroad, with the authority of the
railroad commission, made an issu-
ance of $3.50, 600 worth of bonds. This
was made unoer the authority and by
virtue of law passed in 1893 requir.
ing the permission of the commission
| for all such issuances.
Having complied with the new law
the Rio Grande and Northern officials,
to be dou0le sure of their issue being
valid, did something m1re. They
yesterday placed on record in the sec.
rotary of states office the resolutions
of the stockholders authorizing this
issue, as they were required t0 do by
aTtice 1921 of the Revised Civil Stat
utes. This article and the one pre-
ceding it, explanatory thel eof, runs
as follows:
Article 1920. Mortgage invalid I'M
less, etc. No mortgage by such COR
poration shall first be valid unless au.
thorized by resolution adopted by a
vote of two-thlrds of all the stock of
such company, after notice and in a
manner provided in this title for in
creasng the capital stock of such cor.
porations.
Article 422l. Resolution authoriz-
ing mortgage shall be rendered.
When any such resolution has been
adopted in the manner provided By
the preceding article, it shall be re.
corded IN the uffice of the secretary of
state and no such resolution shall
take effect until so recorded.
The question now arises as to
whether or not the act passed by the
Legislature of 1893 is ali sufficient or
whether it is also necessary for them
to comply with article 1921 of the Re-
vised Civil Statutes, The Rio Grande
would be on the safe side anyway. In
reference to this little matter it is we'll
to state that article 1921 has never
been repealed and is still active. The
question that 10 agltating the minds of
some is as to whether or not a railroad
company could come in, comply with
article 1921, and ignore the railroad
commission altogether? 1t certainly
looks probable, though it is held that
the law passed last has precedence.
Railroads in future had better make
sure of their issues however. In case
they intend to monkey with the com.
mission they had also better comply
with The requirement of article 1921,
which is still in force.

Don,t Want KellY,s Army.

CHICAGO, April co. Mayor Hopkins
again refused to see the committee
which has in charge the arrangements
for greeting Gen. Kelly's arrival in
Chicago. and it is intimated that the
army will receive scanJ courtesy at the
hands of the Chicago police. The po-
lice are said to have been ordered to
prevent the army's entrance into
Chicago, and the men, it is said, will
probably be compelled to pass around
the city on their way east. An effort
is being made to orgnaize distinctive
Chicago army, but so far not more
than 100 have been secured.

DIDN'T WORK RIGHT.
Strange Lack of the Sense of Humor in
Some FOLKS.

Some people have poor appreciation
of humor This must be an awful
load to carry through life. On
a crisp, cold day, Bohemeian
and his friend stood in front of
the Sturtevant house holding down
the sidewalk while they thought about
what they would do next. One of the
two was smoking. The other held an
unlighted cigar between his teeth. A
cable car came along, then horse car
with front platform crowded with
smokers. The sight of it revived in
the Bohemian the faint shadow of an
ancient joke. He smiled and suddenly
beckoned energetically to man on
the front platform. AS soon as the
man saw that he was the one wanted
he jumped off and came back to where
the Bohemian was standing.
Give me d light, please?" said the
ia tier gravely. Thanks"
"Why, confound your impudence!
You didn't call me off that car to have
NE give you light?"
"Now don't get red-headed about it,"
replied une Joker calmly unere ca
BILE car right behind"
But the joker was one of those curl
GUS fellows who have no appreciation
of humor, He hauled off with his right
hand and big oath, and down fell the
ioker-either hit by the oath or the fist,
he did not know which.
"Now, don't get red-headed about it"
said the other fellow; ''you can catch
an ambulance around the corner" And
he broke for the cars again.
"That joke looked very funny when
l read it in the newspapers, said the
Bohemian as his friend busted him off
and led him into the Sturtevant bar,
'but the thing doesn't seem to work
RIGHT. does it?"-N. y. Herald.

yowels In the Hawaiian Tongue.

The Hawaiian language is composed
mainly of vowels and a few consonants
put in to vary the monotony. And the
beauty of the system is that there is no
waste. Every vowel is pronounced. For
instance, when the American eye winks
at the appearance of the simple word
"naauao," the glib native rolls out the
FIVE syllables with neatness and dispatch.
This means "enlighten." Double VOW
els are very frequent, but never a diph-
thong. Three novels are not uncom-
mon, and, as above, four and sometimes
more are found unseparated by conso-
nants. In the mouth of the uneducated
native the language is apt to be explo-
sive but the higher classes speak it with
a fluent grace that surpasses the French
Or the Italian. In sound it somewhat
resembles the general flow of the con-
tinental European languages, for the
vowels all have the French quality, and
the accents are not dissimilar. -Wash-

REPRESENTATIVE CooPER of Indiana,
thinks great thing for SILVER was accom-
plished when the house committee on
coinage decided to favorably report his bill
providing that greenbacks shall be subject
to state and municipal taxation. as coin
now is. Representative Hall of Missouri,
who was designated by the committee to
write the report in favor of the bill, makes
IN accusation against the banks which. I'M
less proven to be erroneous, should nf itself
be sufficient reason for the speedy pas
sage of the bill He says: The green
back was originally the peoples money,
but of late it has become tue pet of the
national banks. They have kept it from
circulation as Its freedom from taxation
made it more desirable to keep in the
hank vaults than silver or gold. which are
subject to taxation. The anxiety of the
banks 10 get hold of greenbacks has been
SO great that fraudulent practice has grown
up There are only S346, 900, 900 of green
backs in circulation. yet official returns
show that banks and individuals claim ex-
emptIou on 81, O00, 900, 900 of greet baks.
The manner of conducting this fraud is
simple. A package of greeDbacks is passed
from bank to bank, ahead of the tax asses
sor and at each bank he exempts the same
package of greenbacks. Mr. Cooper's bill
is by no means a ntw idea. 1t has twice
been pass d by the senate by unanimous
vote and has been endorsed by number
