Denver Council Upheld in Taxing Street
Cars.
DENVER, July 2.-The state supreme
court has handed down an opinion that
holds that the levying Of a license by
the Denver city council on all occasions
is entirely legal. In 1886 the council
passed an ordinance placing $40 tax
on all street cars. This amount was
afterward increased to $S5. The Den
YER City Gable railway was the first
corporation to refuse to comply with
the terms of the ordinance. Its repre-
sentatives were arrested and fined and
were ordered to pay the tax of $25 on
each car owned by them. The defend
ants appealed. Although the supreme
courts opinion does not specify directly
what articles or occupations the coun-
Gil may tax or license, it is plainly in
ferred that the city fathers have limit
less power.

"Great Britain has been long coming
these dollars, placing the Japanese

the British stamp on the other:
This currency has been Of great
service to British merchants

served the same purpose, but lacking
the Chinese chop or character indi-
eating value, the Chinese and Japanese
did not understand them and would
not use them. The measure, think,
congress will enact, will provide for the
coinage Of these dollars with the eagle
on one side and the Japanese chop on
the other. The piece will be irredeem-
able in gold and will contain about the
same amount of silver as the American
