period it is intended to visit the central
capitals OF Europe, India and the

LEGISLATIVE bodies, of whatever de.
scrlption, might we'll take heed of the
words of the American Economist, one of
the leading political journals of the day.
1t says: "Any business nan who at.
tempts to run his business as congress
runs the affairs of the United States will
very speedily find himself an utterly
hopeless bankrupt, without credit and
without the means of getting it. Politi-
clans and statesmen as ageneral rule are
not business men, or versed in business
affairs. We need good lawyers, but not
those who are notorious for a mere pre-
ponderance of language that is exceeded
in quantity only by that of the profess
sional politician. The result is not con-
ducive to the best business interests of
the country. If we are to Judge from
the disgraceful and dilatory tactics of
the New York state legislature, a lack of
legislative business wisdom is not con-
fined to congress. State and national
affairs need as much careful attention as
is given to the management of a pros
porous business. There should be due
consideration and discussion upon i'm
portant and weighty topics, but there is
no occasion to waste valuable time and
money in useless discussions or wind
bag oratory. Such is of no earthly use.
1t convinces nobody; it changes no votes.
Upon important national events the
minds of statesmen are agreed either
for or against the best interests of the
country. Why not, then, at once get
down to the actual business in hand, in
stead of waiting weeks or months. vast
ing the money of the people and the
time of their representatives, who would
often serve the country far better by re.
naming at home? The representatives
of the Fifty-fourth congress have already
been elected. We are not aware exactly
how many business men there are among
its members, but we do hope that there
are many who will endeavor to impress
upon their fellow legislators the desira-
bility, the necessity, of strict attention
to business, of prompt legislation and of
prompt adjournment. Let us see for
once if it be not possible to have a bust
ness-like congress-" %

OFFICIAL PAPER BURLEIGH co
ALTON DAY,

In another column of this issue will
be found d very appropriate Memorial
day proclamation by Governor Allin.
This Is, so far as the TRIBUNE is in
formed, the first proclamation ever
issued by a governor Of either the state
or territory on the occasion Of Decora-
ton day. By reading it, one will be con-
rinced Of the governors entire ability to
say just the proper thing for such an &C.
cdsion.
Decoration day was established by
General JOHN a. Logan while com
mander of that patriotic order, the
Grand Army of the Republic. Since
that time congress has set apart the Both
Of May as a national holiday. This state
has done the same.
"Breathes there a man with soul SO
dead who ne'er to himself hath said, this
is my own, my native land" and lives
there a man within it's borders who does
not fully realize that in participating IN
the ceremonies of Decoration day, in
memory of the fallen heroes whose bones
lie bleaching on an hundred battle-felds
"where the grass grows greener and the
flowers bloom brighter because of the
blood they She'd" he does but honor him
self. Compared with the great whole,
but few now living have a personal recol-
lection of the bloody scenes that make
up d history Of the war-a war not for
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but to preserve the
Union. The noble sacrifices of 1861 will
live in history and song throughout all
time and be taken as a model for patri-
otto self : sacrifice while governments
shall last.
Then said a mother to her son,
And pointed to his shield;
Come with it when the battles done,
Or on it from the field.
1t is to be hoped that every citizen Will
participate with the Grand Army of the
Republic in observance of the day in
paying tribute to the loyalty and patriot
ism Of those who died that their country
might live.
The land is holy where they fought,
And holy where they fell;
For by their blood that land was bought,
The land they loved so we'll.

THE ADVERTISING LAW.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROPOSES
TO ENFORCE 1T,

Yesterday when the bids for furnish

General Beatty. or learning that there
was but one bid in, enquired if the
calls for bids had been advertised ac.
| cording TO law. Mr. O, II. Grey was
sent for and admitted that it had not
been done.
Mr.. Beatty then read the law on
the subject and called the attention of
the Board to the fact that it was man
datorv. Mr.. Grey said that it proha-
bly, was. hut the old Attorney General
had stated that it was not necessary.
and accordingly they had never done

State officers were neither legis alive
bodies nor judicial ones. They could
not amend old laws or decide how
the, were to he construed. He also
notified the Board that any one could
break contract for these supplies

vertised in daily newspaper. ia Car

LEGISLATIVE METHODS.
THOSE WHO LiVe:iN GLASS HOUSES
SHOULD NOT THROW STONES.

EDITOR JOURNAL My attention 10
attracted to the Examiners report OF
Legislative proceedings in Sacra-
mento. Possibly it may not be in or
der for Nevadan to criticise the acts
OF California Legislators, but as long
as SO many OF the Four Hundred in
our sister State refer to us as Of the
Rotten Borough my reference may
he excused. refer now to the acts Of
the Republican caucus Of Senator's
held last Sunday night for the pur-
pose Of nominating officers Of the Sen
ate. From the Examiner account the
! caucus was composed OF twenty-five
Senators. Marcus d. Boruck and
Frank Brandon were opposing candi-
| dates for the office OF Secretary Of the
Senate. Each had been privately
promised large majority by the
twsnty- Senators aforesaid, 80 it
was not strange that each felt sure Of
getting the coveted place. Or course it
was evident to outsiders that some
body was lying, but rs W. w. Stowe
and Boss Burns had given orders to
Huntington's cattlfs that Mr.. Boruck
should get the place the latter gentle |
man felt entirely secure. The pro-
verbal slip twixt cup and lip occurred |
as it sometimes does. even in the best .
regulated families. Among the first
acts OF the caucus was to adopt the
rule that the voting should be done
by secret ballot. which being east for
Secretary Of the Senate, resulted in
Brandon getting 10 votes and Boruck
u. The action Of course suggested
rank treason on the part Of a large
majority of the Honorable Senators to
the bosses of Huntington's plantation
and to an ordinary layman it would
appear that they were in for it, as the
saving goes. The sequel, however.
shows that these wiley Lawmakers
lad sagacity worthy of better cause.
The next business OF the caucus was
o destroy all the paper on which the
'oteS were written so as to prevent
he experts eff Stowe and Burne from
eciphering the hand writing OF the
naniases. But the sublimity of
cheek was manifested the
ext morning when twenty-three of
hese twenty-five Senators each tele-
raphed to Stowe and Burns the
act(?) that they had voted according
} instruction.
Verify, verify it appears that SIM -
LEFTY, dupiicity and cowardice still
Sist and that shame is relegated to
lie dead past. b.

To the Board Of County Commiss-
toner's,
Ormsby County, New
Conflor,oon

lCEoTS,
Ormsby County, New
Gentlemen,-.
Your communication
Of Jan, Z, regarding the county
printing contracts at hand
This question, in the same features
as is now presented, was very
thoroughly Investigated by me two
years ago. Then. contract made
in July 1892 for a period Of one year
was sought to be annuled, under the
supposition that Board OF County
Commissioners had no Jurisdiction to
bind their office, or in other words
| County Commissioners had no power
to make 4 contract extending beyond
their term Of office.
A Board Of County Commissioners is
a quasi corporation. If this be true
and legal decisions hold it to be 80,
the election Of new members does not
effect the Corporation. 1t is the same
body hut acting through and by new
members. The new members simply
take the places Of older officers, but
the Corporation remains the same.
Then legal act done by one set Of
members is binding upon their sue
cessOrs for the simple reason that the
Corporation is the same ut all times.
If the act is beyond the scope OF their
authority it is illegal and If no effect |
at any time. Now the question is, |
did the officeas Of Ormsby county |
exceed their authority when they /
awarded the contract in ques-
fion?"
The old contract would expire by it's
terms on Jan 1st. 1895. A period of
five days would elapSe before the new
officers were to take the control Of the
county affairs. Then thew snrey did
not exceed their authority in making
such contract. Then again the re-
lewal was TO take effect from Jan. 1st,
1876 for period Of six months. The
I'd one expired, and the new one be-
me effective while the old members
e the Commissioners were still in Of
iee. and I am aware OF no decision or
my question Of law that would say I
hat the old members acted Illegally.
There might be question as TO the
ecularity OF the meeting of the Com [
1issionerI. at which said contract was
warled. but it is question of fact. I
5 all meetings Of such bodies are e
resumed to be regular until the OPP t
osite is shown. The law is. if properly
ivertised it is 4 ii meeting.
IF the contract OF July 1891 had ex-
ired in February 1926 and the old
.embnrs of the board male a con-
act in November 1894. to take effect
tier the completion Of the July. to
ebruary contract, I am by law al to
spd that such a contract would be -
tally null and void as exceeding the :,
,wers of the old members of the fir
Dard at
Seeing nothing irregular after a "
refuI study Of all the points, am
mpell q TO advise you that the con-
act for printing must stand.
Yours most respectfully.

SAVANNAH AND WESTERN.
The Position of the Bonds Under the
reorganization Explained.

New York, Aug. 2.-The following cir
cular has been issued by the Borg COM
mittee of the Savannah and Western
bondholders explaining the position of the
bonds under the Georgia Central plan:
Under the plan all the underlying liens
on the Savannah and Western property
are discharged by Aessrs. Samual Thomas
and Thomas F. Ryan, as intending pur-
chasers Of the Georgia Central. All
claims moreover of the Georgia Central
against the Savannah and Western are
paid by Messrs. Thomas and Ryan, as also
the cost of the receivership and foreclos-
ure Of the mortgages on the property
Furthermore the l.62S 900 Savannah and
Western bonds claimed by the Georgia
Central are cancelled. Under the plan
each $1,000 bonds of the Savannah and
Western receives $3.50 in new consolidated
mortgage bonds, $3.50 in first income bonds
and $3.50 in second income bonds An
agreement has been made by Messrs.
Thomas and Ryan with the Savannah and
Western Company that all the
consolidated bonds allotted
under the plan to the Savannah and West
ern bondholders shall be sold for the ac-
count of the respective owners by the
syndicate marketing the main issue of
such securities The prorata results of
the operation will be distributed by the
committee of the Savannah and Western
bondholders. The bondholders, however,
have the right to cash their consolidated
bonds at s. per cent. and accrued interest
after Sept. l. Any bondholders wishing to
do this must give notice within fifteen
days after Aug 26, the date of the bond
holders meeting"
The committee states that the new con-
solidated bonds have. or Will be under
written and will be offered to the public
in the usual way at a price above S.. Bond
holders who have deposited with the COM
mittee and failed to notify the committee
of their desire to cash their new consOli-
dated bonds, viii be deemed to have chos-
en- to become members of the syndicate
which win market the bonds. From this
agreement it does not seem that the Sa-
vannah and Western bondholders who
have deposited with the Borg committee
can. elect to receive their new consolidated
bonds. The Georgia Central plan pro-
vides that these must be sold by the syn
dicate for the account of the Savannah
and Western bondholders.
