SOUGHT TO BECOME CAPITALISTS.

WOrkingmen of FredOnla, N. ", Try JUS
tlce Browns Plan.
Justice Brown, In his address to the
Yale law school said:
II laborers do not themselves become capt.
talists, by purchasing stock in their own cor.
porshons, thus becoming profit sharers, or
laying aside their surplus earnings in savings
banks or elsewhere, It is because they lack the
qualities Of industry and thrift out of which
capitalists are made.
A special to the Buffalo Express of
August %, tells Of some workingmen
who tried the experiment and Of the
result of it as follows:
The Burrows shortsystem Company, which
passed into the hands of Receiver Alfred Clum
OF Cleveland, Ohio, last June, is being sold out
by the sheriff of Chautauqua county to satisfy
batch Of claims. The proceeds OF the sale
will scarcely pay the preferred creditors, while
a hali-hundred workingmen have sunk from
S25 to $500 each in shares. Workingmen are
losers to the extent of $4,000, according to es-
Inmates.
Less than year ago Mr. Burrows came to
Fredonia from Cleveland, Ohio. He explained
to several OF the business men short method
OF keeping accounts, and also suggested the
possibility Of the firms locating their plant
for the manufacture Of Office supplies In Free
donla, II bonus Of $1,000 were given, the
company would buy the old Petit eye.salve
factory and guarantee to employ thirty men
steadily for FIVE years.
Freedonia business men thought 1t a good
thing to secure the Cleveland enterprise, and
in short time bonus sufficient to secure the
works OF the Burrows short.system Company
was secured 0fflcials came on and began to
rig up the old building.
In order to be an employee, the workman had
to take stock In the concern and give his note
to insure payment These notes were dis.
counted at the bank. Lots OF stock was sold
to the unemployed lAborers Of Fredonia The
idea OK selling stock was a good one II the
concern could have kept running. It made
each laborera stockholder. II was run on the
cooperative plan.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

The American yacht defender"
beat the English "Valkyrie III" in
New York harbor last Saturday. Eng
lishmen are willing to let the Yankees
win in races where there Is no rich
heiress or cold cash at stake.
1t was supposed that locomotive en-
gineer always read the orders given
them by train dispatchers until a civil
service examination of New York Cen
tral train men began the other day,
when it was discovered that five of the
engineers could neither read nor write.
The announcement that the gold re-
serve in the national treasury is below

mo ALARM AT THE TREASURY >

The Associated press dispatches tell
US that treasury officials are not
alarmed at the renewed raid of Wall
street pirates upon the treasury and
the looting Of the gold reserve. Why
should they bep When they can sell a
batch Of bonds to replenish this re-
serve, give the syndicate purchasing
the bonds II million dollars profit on
them and afterwards come In for a
share of the plunder and still escape
hanging, there is no special reason why
they should be alarmed. The next
issue of bonds will be for 100 million
dollars, and the profits and perquisites
will correspond. No man who does
not believe in hell hereafter can be
expected to be alarmed at such a state
of things.

THE Capital Of September 10, cites
the fact that New York banks have
120 million dollars more money loaned
out than they had two years ago, as
one of the indications of better bust
ness and recovery in confidence" The
Capitals idea Of prosperity seems to be
a condition which enables the banks to
loan large amounts of money and which
compels everybody else to go deeper
and deeper in debt.

THE Denver News of September 8,
says that the general agent of the
Santa Fe freight department in that
city had just returned from a trip to
Chicago and reported corn contracts in
Kansas for the delivery of corn at
l5 cents per bushel. In some parts of
Kansas corn can be contracted for less
than Is cents now, and the time to
place corn upon the market is not yet
here. There is another overproduction
you see. Of course there is money
enough if you only have something to
sell for it, but fools are more plentiful
than either money or corn.

Birds OF a Feather.

If anyone in Kansas had doubts as
to the question of whether Matt Quay
was the proper man to be elected chair
man of the Pennsylvania Republican
State Central committee, those doubts
ought to be dispelled after reading the
attached opinion of him given by Apple
Jack Cy. The people of Kansas good
naturedly humor Cyrus and permit him
to talk and all that sort of thing but
they don't believe what he says. After
reading what Leland has to say of
Quay the unanimous verdict of the
people of Kansas will be that Quay is
an unsafe man, that he is disgrace to
his party and that none but politicians
of his stripe and ilk are desirous of
seeing him continued in power and po-
sition. Here is what Cy says:
TROY, KAs., August %, 1895.

safest counselIors of our party. His

RATES ON CRUSHED ROCK
The Good Roads Commission
Receives Figures From the
Railway.
Delivery-Carst to Be Built by
the State.

Jacob Neff, Edgar DePue, J. L. Maude,
Marsden Manson, Daniel E. Hayes and r.
C. Irvine of the State Commission on Pub
lie Highways held a conference yesterday
with Vice-President Stubs and General
Traffic Manager Smurr of the Southern
Pacific Railway Company regarding
freights on broken rock from the Folsom
quarries to all parts of California reached
by lines of the Central and Southern Pa
cifc.
When the Commission on Good Roads
was appointed during the last session of
the Legislature the proposition to build
and operate plant for crushing rock at
the Folsom State Prison quarries was dis
cussed. Provisions were stated in the
premises. These were to give all counties
in the State on railway lines the benefit of
a cheap supply of rock from Folsom prison
to be used in building roads
Now the Good Roads Commission has
settled into work with a determination to
push matters ahead as fast as possible. Its
first really important move was made YES
terday when conference with the railway
officials took place.
The commissioners stated that thew
would establish an extensive roek-crushing
plant at Folsom, to be operated by water
power, which is now going to waste. This.
OF course, was conditional If the railway
company would make favorable rates the
plant would be assured. A long schedule
of rates was thereupon presented to the
commissioners, who expressed themselves
as highly pleased with the figures, which,
they said, argued we'll for good roads.
The commissioners stated they would
see whether orders for $4,000 cubic yards
of broken rock can be got Immediately
from counties DESTROYS of building good
roads. If orders for this amount should
come in the State will begin operations at
once on the machinery and will purchase
a large number OF railroad cars of peculiar
style for transportation of rock and Dump
ing it at points OF delivery. Just as soon
as the crushers and cars We're finished the
State Board would deliver broken rock bv
rail at merely nominal cost throughout
California.
Mr.. Stubbs of the Southern Pacific stated
that action on the freight schedules will
be deferred till Governor Budd, who is ex-
officio a member OF the Commission on
Highways, returns from the springs.
where he Is under treatment for rheuma-
tism. Until the company's offer is sub
mftted to Governor Budd the rates will not
be made public.

March, 1851, a law was passed to have one
Justice elected in 1852 and one at the gem
eral election every second year thereafter;
but in april another act was passed pro

The original constitution of California,
adopted in the fall of 1915, provided for a
Supreme Court of three members, and the
first Legislature, which met early in 1850,
passed an act to organize the court. This
act provided that one Justice should be
elected in 1851, one at each general election
every second year thereafter, and that the
Governor should fill vacancies by commits
sion, which should expire at the next gem
eral election, when the vacancy should be
filed by election. A further law
was passed authorizing the Clerk of the
Supreme Court to rent suitable room in
San francisco for the March term of 1850,
provided that the rent of such room should
not exceed $1,000 per month. March the
Legislature fixed the salary of each Justice
at $4,000 year. In the following month

At least this is the theory upon which
the division was made, and in some cases
the practice works admirably. However.
appellants dissatisfied with the verdict
rendered in one department are at liberty
to have their cause decided upon by the
other department, since they are legally
entitled to the Judgment of the full bench.
And thus it is that often the fact Of the
Supreme Court being divided into separate
departments defeats the purpose for which
the division was made. Upon the whole,
however, the plan has been beneficial, and
