ants; r. P. Thomas, appellant. Action
to recover moneys lost through negli-
gence. Reversed. with directions to the
trial court to enter judgment in favor
Of the defendant Thomas.
The complaint charged Joint negli-
gence of three directors. The findings
showed that President Thomas was
negligent, not with the other defendants
and as member of the Executive Com
mittee, but that he was individually
and separately negligent in the per-
romance of his duties as President. But
this is not the cause Of action pleaded
against him, and it is we'll settled that.
where the case made by the findings
Is different case from that presented
by the pleadings, the Judgment will be
reversed. The relief decreed must be
the relief sought, and the variance, even
II 1t be such as could have been cured
by amendment, is fatal to the validity
of the judgment.
Where joint action is brought
against two or more for trespass done,
and all are held liable the Judgment
must be for joint damages. ALI legal
consequences of a joint Judgment must
follow. Each Is liable for all the dam

When two persons address lawyer
as their common agent. their communi-

strangers, will be privileged, but as to
themselves, they stand on the same
footing as the lawyer and either can
compel him to testify against the other

is the same when the witness is attorney

The people have but very short time
now in which to thoroughly inform
themselves concerning the proposed
outfall drain that is to be voted on in a
few days. The "Record-Union" has
made thorough examination in detail,
and exhaustively of the plan, the ne
cessity for 1t, its feasibility and its cost.
1t has advised with engineers and Off
clals, and has applied its own knowl-
edge of sewer systems and drainage
things. First, that the necessity for
an outfall drain to take care OF storm
waters is very great, and that In it's
absence the city is in danger, not only
of being mulcted in heavy damages, but
that large portion of the property OF
the people will be subject to damage the
coming winter, since the discharges
available heretofore are now all closed
against the city save one. which Is
wholly inadequate. Second, that the
system proposed is not sewerage sys-
tenn, but drainage plan to enable
the present sewer system to free itself
of storm waters and of all liquid flow,
and that it will not in any way mill
tate against the adoption of the proper
sewerage system hereafter, but will,
in fact, facilitate it. Third, that the
cost compared with the benefits and
protection is really trifling, and should
not for an instant cause any citizen to
hesitate to cast his vote with the cross
stamped opposite to the word yes"

recover taxes paid under protest
Article XIII, Section l of the Consti-
tuition of 1879, not only provides that all
property shall be taxed, but defines the
word property" and expressly includes
bonds In that definition
Debts owing by corporations, like
debts by individuals, are not property
of the debtors in any sense; they are
obligations Of the debtors, and only pos
sess value in the hands of the cred
itors. With them they are property,
and in their hands they may be taxed
Unless restrained by provisions of the
Federal Constitution, the power of the
State as to the mode, form and extent
Of taxation is unlimited, where the sub
jects to which 1T applies are within her
jurisdiction
Section 3617 of the Political Code. as
amended In 1895, contains inserted after
the word bonds" in the first subdivis-
ion, the words except of railroad or
quasi public corporations" Held, that
if the Constitution did not require the
taxation of the bonds of railroad and
other quasi public corporations the
amendment in question was wholly un-
necessary; and If the Constitution did
require such bonds to be taxed it was
not in the power Of the Legislature to
exempt them.

to every issue save one, and that the

issues; 1t has spoken reasonably,

this use can be best secured. without

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
Ii HUNG CHANG.

From the New York Times.
Viewed with the outward eye, the
reception OF Ii Hung Chang by New
York was somewhat disappointing. The
White Squadron, indeed, which was
drawn up to receive him, fulfilled all
expectations as a demonstration, ofour
new naval power. But the naval re-
ception was marred, through mis-
chance or maladroitness, so that the
St Louis did not pass between the
lines of warships, but upon one side
of them. The procession on land was
not imposing at all. With only one
half of Broadway cleared, four troops
of cavalry have not a fair chance to
exhibit themselves What the waiting
crowd saw, after the rapid passage OF
string of carriages filled with un-
considered Cinnamon, was a body of
cavalry that seemed better adapted for
service than for parade. so crowded on
one side of the roadway that il could
not be fairly seen, and interpolated in
it another string OF carriages, of which
one was opened so as to make visible
an aged Chinaman, of unusual stat
ure for his race, and wearing an un-
mistakably shrewd and genial express
sion.
But to the mind the spectacle,
which merely as a spectacle was
rather shady, was OF the utmost inter-
est and Significance. The greatest
Chinaman of the century came to look
upon a civilization which was as con-
spicuously modern as that which he
represents is conspicuously ancient.
New York, although it counts two
centuries, must have seemed to MIN
brand-new, while in turn he repre-
sented to the eager and not reverential
crowd the image OF an immemorial an
tlquity and immobility. Not only af-
ter Pekin, but after st. Petersburg
Berlin, Paris and London. New York
must have seemed to him inconceiv-
ably recent. The difference between
one European city and another, OF be-
tween one American city and another
! may ynot be very strikingto a traveller
from the most Eastern East" But
