U. 8. reports, but, with all due respect, it
is submitted that they are in no way or
respect similar. In that case, the gov.
ernor of the territory of Dakota had
called the legislature together n an extra
session, in the year 1871, which was with
out authority Of law. This legislature,
among other things, passed an act author
izing the organization of railroad com
pany,and providing for the vote of bondsin
aid thereof. U nder this law Yankton county
subscribed stock in a railroad and voted
bonds in aid thereof. In 1879 congress-
passed an act declaring all proceedings
Uf such legislature void, except the one

of the county for the bonds issued, but
these bonds were not issued until after

subscription, 80 that the bonds at the
time of their delivery, were delivered in
pursuance of an existing law made by
congress. Here, the bonds in question
were issued, delivered and sold in direct
violation of the law, and nearly sixteen
years afterward, and after the supreme
court had held that the issuance of such
bonds was void, the owners come to con.
gress and ask for the passage of an act
making valid void bonds issued in such
direct violation Of law. There certain
~ can be no excuse for the issuance of
the bonds of the Texas, Santa Fe & North
ern railroad in 1887, some months after the
approval of the act of congress on July
30, 1880, which expressly provided that

Argul nent.

Argument.
1t will be seen that at the time these
bonds wer- issued, there was a congress
sional statute actually forbidding the is.
suance of such bonds. The supreme
court of the United States, Lewis versus
Pima county, 155 u. 8. reports, declared
that such bonds we're absolutely void and
issued without authority of law, and 1t
will be further seen that this bonds issued
to the Texas, Santa Fe & Northern rail-
road. were after the congressional action
in 1873, which in direct terms prohibit the
counties from subscribing stock or lend
Ing their credit to any railroad or other
corporation.
The bonds issued to the New Mexico l.
Southern Pacific railroad we're specula-
tive, received by the railroad ss a bonus
which they accepted with view Of real
izing what they could out of them and
sold them for 50 cents on the dollar, when
the law provided they should only be sold
at par.
The county received no consideration
mot a dollars worth Of stock was issued,
when the law required that it should be
issued. Double the amount permitted by
the territorial law was issued by the
fraudulent pretense that they we're to be
Used in tho construction Of the two roads
The bonds issued to the Texas, Santa
Fe d Northern road we're issued to COR
poration that was fraudulent from its
very inception, being fraudulentiy organ
izso, having instiRated fraudulent assess
ments to evade the congressional act pro-
hibiting euch action, and were issued in
fraud In that they we're issued to com-
papy that did not own the road under
construction. and the stock which the
county was to receive would have been in
a corporation bankru pied, and therefore
absolutely valueless. For these reasons the
citizens contend that they are neither
legally nor morally bound to pay this obli-
CATION, and there is certainly
NO PRECEDENT YoB GOING TO ooNaRlss
and asking congressional aid in validate
ing bonds which have been issned 10 d.
rect violation OF the acts of congress.
Itwould certainly lead to serious con-
sequences for congress by it's actions in
this instance to set precedent wherein
it would declare that municipal corpora
tions In the territories might create In
debtedness In violation OF an act of
congress-, issue bonds therefor, sell
them to spectators, who, failing to col.

congressional aid, to make legal such
ILLEGAL ISSUES.
There is no telling where this may end.

srs pretend that they have found

The trouble has caused much excite

ed as Martin is keeping out of the way o
Baca az much as possible. The shooting
grew out of the ill feeling aroused at thu

4 WAR OF EXPERIMENTATION.

Australia has it's pest of rabbits and the bane of the old Bay state is it's gypsy moth. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been expended in Aus tralia in endeavors to clear the coun- try of jack rabbits and Massachusetts is expending large sums to extirpate, if possible, the gypsy moth This par ticular variety of moths does not hail from nor belong to Massachusetts, had no business there, never expected to dwell there and in fact got a home there by accident. Being there, however, it has naturalized itself as completely as if it were to the manor born. A learn ed Bay state philosopher interested in scientific research brought home with him from tour in a distant old world land, number of specimens of this branch of the moth family. Most un- expectedly and most unfortunately several of the birds" got away one fine morning from captivity and took to themselves habitations in the orchards near by.
 In a few years the family greatly in creased and spread to other orchards and gypsy moths began to make alarm ing ravages in that particular section. The ravaging became so fragrant and so disastrous in results that at last the unhappy farmer appealed to the state and the state properly respond ed and appropriated money to be skill fully used by experts for the destruc- ton, and as it was fondly hoped, annihilation, of the moths. The efforts made were only partially successful. killed, but it was very hard to get at those located in the woods, and in spite of the best skilled endeavors and the use of a great deal of money, the moth continues to flourish and destroy things. Up to the present time the moths occupy but a small section of territory, being attached to the locali- ty where the founders of the American branch of the family first settled and being indisposed to roam, a trait of their character which is happily owing largely to the fact that they do not fly through the air with the greatest of ease, their flying capacity being limit

ed, But for this latter circumstance our Connecticut farmers might now be fighting this moth This pestiverous devourer has become a serious menace to the prosperity of the farmers of the section where they dwell and now Mas sachusetts may have to spend millions of dollars in a war of extirpation of this pest. The Boston Herald remarks on the subject: 'If the S2OO,OOO that the legislature is asked to contribute, to be used in the work of destroying the gyp- sy moth, is simply to be used in keep in down that pest, we fear that it will be money thrown away. Unless com plete eXtermination is the end aimed at and worked for, the hundreds of thousands of dollars that we have al- ready spent, form merely the beginning of continued large appropriations in the future, without sensible advance to- ward the desired result The only way in which pest of this kind can be wisely and economically fought is by completely effacing it. and that is what we had supposed was the work which the state entered upon few years ago. It would be better, perhaps, to spend $1,O00,000 year for one or two years, if this end could be achieved, than to spend $1O0,0Oo or $2o0,ooO each year for an indefinite period, only to find that the pest had been kept down, but not exterminated, and was in position to reassert itself just as soon as the ex- penslve activity of holding it in check was discontinued. We do not be- grudge the money spent as money. if there is reason to think that an end to the trouble through practical ex- termination of these insects will come within g. reasonable length of time.
