SUGAR BOUNTY CLAIMS.
The Comptroller still Declines t.
Countersign the Warrants.

The Comptroller Still Declines to
CounteI'sign the Warrants.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The Ju-
dietary Committee to-day considered
the Boatner resolution. which recites
the action of the Comptroller of the
Treasury in refusing to countersign
the warrants in payment of the money
appropriated for the sugar bounty, and
after some discussion substitute pre-
pared by Ray of New York was adopt
ed. This gives the Judiciary Committee
authority to inquire as to the condition
of the law on the subject of the right
of the executive officers of the Gov
ernment to refuse to enforce or comply
with any provisions of any Act of
Congress on the ground of its alleged
unconstftutionality, or for other rea-
sons, and to report to the House by
bill or otherwise.
Ray to-day received a letter from
Secretary Carlisle, under date of the
Doth inst, in which he replies at length
to Rays request for information as to
whether there is precedent or author
ity on the part of the Comptroller for
declining to pay the bounty. The Sec
retary shows the care with which the
Comptroller investigated the subject,
and the conclusion reached by him
that the constitutionality of the ap-
preparation was at least doubtful, and
that he deemed it his duty, without
allowing or disallowing the claim, to
have the question referred to the Court
of Claims for adjudication, which the
Secretary, after hearing written and
oral arguments upon the question,
agreed to.
Secretary Carlisle, in conclusion,
shows that the original Boatner reso-
| luton was based upon certain state
ments contained in the preamble, which
are erroneous, for he continues, the
| Comptroller has not refused TO per-
form a ministerial act or execute a
statute passed by Congress, nor has he
nuIlified or attempted to nullify any
Act of Congress. On the contrary, he
has proceeded under and in accordance
with the statute of the United States

none of the drawbacks of other imita-

made of one piece, no solder being used,
and are of such tensile strength that
they will neither bend nor break. It

TICKRT BROKERAGE.
Declared Unlawful by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

Commerce Commission.
In its nineteenth annual report the
United States Interstate Commerce
Commission says: I'VE can discover no
legitimate field for the operations of the
ticket broker. His occupation is es-
sentially lawless; his activities have
no legal sanction and are entirely at
variance with any defensible principle
upon which public transportation can
be conducted. Nevertheless the busi-
ness has many followers and is not
without apologists. BY means of an
extensive organization and a perfected
system of cooperating agents, and
quite largely, it is said, by the conniv-
ance of carriers themselves, the scalper,
wherever he may be found, has con-
stantly on hand and offers for sale
tickets which enable passenger to
travel at less rates than he would be
obliged to pay if he dealt with the rail-
roads directly What was stated by
the commission on this subject in its re-
port for 1890 is quoted, and, as in that
report, it is recommended that Congress
prohibit the practice and enact penal
statute Of proper scope and the penalty.
Experience of a Man So Years Old.
At Yarmouth, N. S., some days ago, a
man was found on the beach on the
northwest side of Briar Island about ex-
hausted, and close by in a gully was a
sharp-rigged boat about twenty feet
long He was taken into Holland Gra-
hams house and DR.. White of Boston,
who is spending a. vacation at Captain
]. D. Payson's house, attended him. In
about twenty-four hours ne fully re-
covered consciousness, but is still very
weak.
The man is Peter Powers of Long
Island, Mount Desert. Me. He is IS
years old. He has been nine days adrift
without food, except a few apples,
which he pounded and sucked the juice
of, but had no water. He had sold some
fish at a place called Bart1ett's Island,
or Bartlett's Landing. He left for his
home, but put in at fremont on Tues
day night.
Wednesday morning he left for home
in a thick fog, and says his compass
must have gone wrong, and he has since
been drifting around till his boat ran
ashore Thursday on Briar Island, and
he crawled ashore, where he fell. He
says on Wednesday he heard what he
thought was a steamer whistle. but was
probably the fog whistle at Cape For
chu. He tried to get toward it, and then
the weather being fine he went to sleep
and knew nothing more till he felt the
boat strike, and then srawled out, and
finding a stream Of water, drank the
| first draught he had had for nine days
and then fell exhausted where he was
found

RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
Wheatland -Four Corners: The new
bill introduced by Congressman Grove
L. Johnson, providing for commission
with power TO act in the matter of
clearing out the channel of the Sac
ramento River and it's tributaries, will
meet with approval because Of its ex-
cellent nature and promise Of work
when it becomes law. Some fear the
appropriation of 100000 is too small,
but for a commencement, added to the
fund already provided. it would be am
pie, and by the time 1T has gone another
administration, with more money and
liberality IN public improvement, will be
in power, it is hoped, which will cheer
fully furnish more funds.
FOR A FUNDING BILL.
Riverside Press: We are inclined to
believe that the views expressed by the
Tulare Register regarding the Pa
cific Railroad funding bill very cor
rectly represents the sentiments of that
portion of our State more directly con-
cerned in the matter. 1t says I'VE
have believed that a funding bill of
some sort would pass Congress, be
signed by the President and become a
law, and for the simple reason that
| this is the only possible chance for the
-. 11r f%cs oxY
The roads will not sell for more than
| enough to pay off the first mortgage
bonds, and with the impending demand
| for a new navy and coast defenses su-
per imposed upon an insufficient rev.
enue this nation is not going to send
good money after bad in buying out
| the interests of the first mortgage bond
holders. Government ownership is
good enough fad for would-be popular
! newspapers and politicians to make
capital out of, but so far as our Gov
ernment is concerned, Government
ownership of railroads is at present an
| impossible proposition.
THE CURSE OF CALIFORNIA.
/ Alameda Argus: The prejudiced ac-
ton of a few men and one newspaper
initiates greatly against dispassion-
| ate consideration of the funding bill,
/ now before Congress. The question
should be, What is best for California?
There may be honest differences of opln-
! ion as to the merits of this question, but
| | there can be none as to the inspiration
| of the newspaper and the men who are
| tanning public hatred in the prints and
at public meetings. Their sole aim and
| object is to injure the Southern Pac1f1c
| Company, and they are absolutely in
different as to whether any benefit is to
result ultimately. The ban and the
curse of California is the demagogue
who makes his hates and spites the
public question of the hour; who de-
scends to the leadership of the rabble
to wreck his vengeances. Capital and
public-spirited men have been thus
driven away from California Enter
prise has been handicapped. Legiti-
mate industry has been left prey to
the anarchistic spirit, and to that vul-
ture of civilization, the blackmailer.
Until the people can emancipate them
| selves from this senseless spirit Cali
fornia will suffer, and it will be next to
impossible to get at the right of any
public question.
