PLEA OF THE TOWN.

The town of Darlington. in its return
to the petition for cause why the manda-
mus should not issue commanding a tax
to be levied sufficient to pay the
debt, set up that the coupons, which were
the cause of action upon which the Jucg-
ment was recovered, were interest
coupons on bonds issued by the town
Of the Charleston, Sumter and Northern
railroad. In pursuance of an ordinance
of the town passed under authority OF
an act Of South Carolina, amending the
charter OF the town. approved December
"a. 1889. and that the town had no power
to levy tax for the payment or TINS
debt, except tax not exceeding 90 cents
on each 500 of taxable property.
The case came on TO be heard upon the
petition and answer, and the court or
dered the mandamus to issue, direct
ing that at the time Of the next annual
town tax levy, there should be ieVled
and collected in the same manner as
other taxes, a tax sufficient in amount 10
pay the judgment, interest and costs.
The town then sued out writ or
error. Judge Simonton, Of the Circuit
Court, before whom the case was ar
gued, ruled that under the operation OF
the act of 1889, If the proceeds OF the
additional railroad tax were not sufii-
cient TO pay the sum due on the cou-
pons. the Court would order the money
TO be paid out of the fund derivabie
from taxes. and If the Town Councii
had not exhausted their power under the
act, it would compel them to go to their
limit. Gut under the act of 1881 there
is now no limit. The Court then can
order them, in making a levy to provide
for the sum due on this judgment, and
this. notwithstanding that the act or
1891 was passed after the bonds were
issued

JIIDGE sIMONToN SUSTAINED.

The opinion of Judges Gon, MOTIFS,
and Brawley reads as follows:
1--WE are entirely satisfied OF the cor
RICHNESS of the reasoning and conciu-
sions of the learned judge of the court
below. and that the petitioner Is entl-
tied to the mandamus for which IL
prayed. BY the act Of 1891 the Mayor
and aldermen of the town OF Daring
ton were given power to levy taxes with
ont Limitation for the use or the
town. so that there is no question OF
the power to levy the tax directed by
writ The only question is as to the
petitioners right to have 1t levied 10
pay the judgment recovered on the cou-
pons of its bonds.
"This question is settled by United
States VS.. County of Clark. Knox County
Court VS.. Harshman, and Macon county
VS.. Huidekoper, which cases hold that
bonds and coupons Of the kind sued
upon by the petitioner are debts OF the
towns and counties issuing them, and
that the holders are entitled TO pay
ment out Of the general funds Of the
county raised for general use after ex-
hausting the special fund directed to be
levied for their payment, and that when
the town or county has the power TO levy
a tax sufficient TO pay such debt II
may be compelled to do so by manda-
mus"

 Interesting matter about Alaska is furnished in the San Jose Mercury hy Dr.. Rnht. Caldwell of that city. He was member of he w. U. Telegraph c''n'pan,'s exploring expedition in 1866 68 to find and build route for an overland telegraph line to St. Petersbnrg ny way M Boring Straits This WAS 10 years before the isrrit"ry was purchased from Russia. The scientific corps passed over the ground where all the rich discoveries hay. been made, but on learning that the cable enterprise had succ~ed..d they stopped work. They were the tirs company of whites that ever sailed up Che Yukon. which Dr.. Caldwell say, is 10 miles wide in many places and one of the worlds greatest streams. Navigation is g,nd all the way, hut as . rule ihe river is nsvigable onl, from June io October. ..ro get 0 the Kl"ndyke at any other p-riod." aa,s Dr.. Caldwell. ..one should go by way of Juneau and the Chilcoot Pass. This route will necrssiiats only als,ni 25 or 30 miles of walking and this through the pass. After this the lakes ars encountered and 1t is clear sailing to the Klondyke. that is, if the lakes are reached as they should be. about the lime of the breaking up of the ice in be spring.
 Il have no doubt that Alaska Is lhs richest gold bearing country in ,he world. There must be magnificent quartz mines there on account of he wonderful abundance of drift guld in and ahuut Inc snlal! rivers Ina. A.w into the Yukon. Whoever shall strike the moiLer lode will be richer than the kolhschills. The country is so large. the gold-bearing district If such great extent, that in my opinion thr,e Ia room for 200. .O00 mine,s. N" fear rllher, of sn early exhaustion of the mines. It will take 50 years at least io thoroughly explore the country.
 ..But while Alaska is rich in gold. 1t is far richer in mosquitoes. They range in size from gallinipper to an alligator. No other mosquito m the world posses such f'udness for blnod. has such long proboscis or such n sharp javeiin. An Alaskan mosquito, when feeling well. can pierce buck skin coat or strike the heart ever, time and without batting an eye In travelling 1t is not the cold you have tn fear, but starvation.

And when you travel with dogs. you must look out for your food every night or they will find 1t and eat 1t up.
