mortgages have paid par On all
liabilities. This Is evidence that
mining is just as much legitimate
business as dealing even in farm
securities. The old theory of
economy does not apply to in
stances of speculation in local
mines that are subject to personal
inspection and investigation. The
wealth OF mine the value of
which is in precious metals can be
estimated more accurately than any
other security The value OF the
metal is fixed permanently and the
gu nifty can be determined with
as much accuracy as an engineer
can estimate the volume Of dirt in
a railroad cut.
Mining is by far the most prom
ising field for investment for the
local business man. The oppor.
tunity is now afforded for the
selections of propositions the
wealth of which is beyond conjec.
ture. The value to the country of
the development of this interest is
not the least consideration. One
rich mine would bring more capital
to the country than would be re.
quired to develop a thousand
lodges. This feature alone would
justify the business men in being
liberal to invest in our mines.
And then the profits offered are
not a paltry per cent. These
mines offer a hundred fold in re-
turn for the direct outlay, besides
the great public benefits. One
prospector may discover mine.
His time, his health and his money
are expended without assurance
of value. When the extent and
quality Of the ore has been deter
mined quite accurately he asks the
business man to share his discovery
with him. Not only one business
man can share his discovery with
out sharing the labor and the risks
but hundred can invest with him
and all be reasonably sure of valu-
able returns. With the prospector
the mining business is like gam.
bling, but with the investor it is
the best and most sure investment
that is offered today in the bust
ness world.

, A Record Of incompetency.

The true measure OF the late
legislature comes to light when a
review is made of the hasty and
imperfect Legislation that passed
in the last thirty-six hours of the
session. Newspaper reports from
the state ca pital show the fact that
a great number of the laws passed
were so crude and defective that
the legislation enacted would be
imperative. The governor of the
state, after calling to his aid the
attorney general has decided that
many of the bills were so defectiue
that they would not accomplish
the purpose aimed at.
The chief executive vetoed eleven
of the bills sent to him during the
last days of the session and most
of these were vetoed because of
their imperfect condition. The
language is vague and uncertain,
there is conflict between the die
ton and the evident intent of the
legislators. After the title recites
one thing and the text of the bill
has an opposite meaning. Many
of the bills signed are SO butchered
that the state will be involved in
endless litigation trying to discover
the intent Of the law
This glorious record of incom-
potency grows more apparent as
the net results of legislation are
studied. The taxpayers will need
no investigating committee to
locate the mistakes of this political
Moses. The journals and the SEES.
sion laws will be permanent
record and Gov. Steunenberg's
veto messages will make mighty
interesting reading. This is the
legislation which it is said will
stand the test of time. What
of blunders! What
q paucity of results!

Reform Genes High.

The revenue bill that passed the
legislature just before it's adjourn
ment, carries provision TOR $500,
900 to pay the expenses for the
next two years. This is $44, 900
more than was required during the
last republican administration
Retrcnchment and reform is good
thing but it comes high. The
needy taxpayer, instead of finding
relief from the burdens he has
borne, must prepare to pay his
share Of the extra $4,000 which
the present administration imposes
on him.
The people have learned a valu-
able lesson, though they pay dear
for it in the school Of bitter exper.
fence. For three successive cam.
paigns political demagogues have
gone about over the state prating
about republican extravaganza in
state affairs. They made insid.
uous comparisons between the ex-
penses of the present and the ex.
penses in territorial times when
the national government bore most
Of the burdens, They hooted at
the idea that our growth in state
hood either created more labor in
the machinery Of state or added
more expenditures.
When confronted by the actual
necessities and imperative demands
of our growing. vigorous common
wealth they have to acknowledge
their ignorance and demagogism
and face the people on the real
issues. They have thrown the
search light Of special investiga.
ton upon the records Of tile repub-
iican administrations and have
found neither corruption nor ex-
ravagance. They have Gu. and
pared and trimmed Al the expenses
II the state and have had al last
o acknowledge tina they mus,
evy S44. 900 more taxes than was
needed by the outgoing admins
The taxpayers have now
aiken the measure of the reform
administration. They have paid
| high price for inefficiency, but
heir eyes are o. ened and the polit-
cal demagogue must seek other
ields to practice his wiles and
Vaccinations.

The sixty-six county officers of
the state who each receive salaries
and fees in amounts ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000 per year are smiling
in their sleeves. Reform never

Lady Bugs and Scale.

garden, amid the delicious scent OF laburnums.
Tho trees and flowers everywhere looked divine
after our experience OF the dusty roads from
Elassona. The place was cool and calm. The
town has an almost italian aspect; its houses
arc OF stuoco, painted many Colors, and very
dirty. There are traces OF former Turkish rule
In tho handsome mosques and innumerable
minarets scattered about the town.
With a young Turkish Lieutenant I went to
visit his uncle, o Mussulman of good standing in
Larissa, and this morning named the new Civil
Governor. We had an interesting interview,
but he had no, very much news to give mo, as he

every street and before all the chief houses.
This was scarcely necessary, The Greeks and
hOuCumUulunU refugees IN inc Town were nOU
molested, and when they discovered this began
to walk about the streets.
As tho mass of our troops entered the town
this evening tho Mussulman inhabitants came
out of their houses and received them with tho
widest Joy. Never have I seen such enthusi-
asm. There were ~salutes, handshakings. ON
braces, kisses. Much against my will, 1 was
kissed upon both checks. Then l was dragged
to a oafe and compelled to drink. All payment
was refused because l wore n feZ.
Many Of the soldiers met friends. brothers,
and children. Grizzly privates who q month
ago were citizens Of Larissa, but had been driven
away by. the Greeks to Salonica, where they vol
unteered for service with tho Turks, are now in
their own homes onco more. This explains tho
bearing of the Turks. 1t was their homecoming.
Among the Turks there Is great surprise, In
dignation, and even disappointment at the re-
treat Of the Greeks. Our mon were ready for n
stif fight, and they expected better things from
their enemies. Their disappointment clearly
shows the high spirit of the army. From Edhem
Pasha to the lowest subaltern, every one ia ask
ing why the Greeks provoked tho war, only to
run away.
Perfect discipline is maintained, as 1t has been
throughout the war, by the victorious army.
Nothing can BIO moro wonderful than the self
restraint Of the much-belied Turk. There Is
none Of the intoxication of victory, and there
have been no excuses on the Turkish side.
ERODE through the whole town without seeing
q single instance OF violence or pillage. i can
assert, on the evidence Of my own eyes, that no
army in the world could surpass the order and
moderation Of the soldiers" II. r. G.

ERIE CANAL OPENED.
The Season Begins with . Rate war-BiE Cut
BY Boat Owners Association.

BUFFALO, May s.-The Erie Canal was opened
for navigation at noon to-day. Only twenty-five
boats have cleared. No boats were allowed to
pass through the locks until IL o'clock. Water
has been feeding into tho canal for a week. At
this end of the State the ditch is in good condi.
ton. The season opened with q rate war. The
Boat Owners Association, at a meeting held
yesterday afternoon adopted the following
schedules:
Wheat, cut from ga cents per bushel to 3
cents; corn, cut from 27s cents per bushel to 2lo
cents; barley, cut from ~ cents per busbel to
2-e cents; fiaxsced, cut from 3's cents per bushel
10 3 cents; rye. cut from 3ls cents per bushel to
2as cents; oats, cut from pa cents per bushcl to
2 cents; iron, cut from $l.20 per gross ton to
81 10. Lumber is not included because ship
ment promises to be very light.
Each of these rates, excepting the last, Is from
one-half to three.quarters OF a cent lower than
the reductions which the New York Central has
made, and a bitter strife between the canal men
and tho railroads is sure to follow. Thus far
only thirty boats have been loaded with grain
here this season, while twenty:seven are await
ing cargoes in the Erie and Ohio basins. 1t is
expected that fifty more "empties" will be add
ed to this list on Monday. Boatmen here and at
Tonawanda arc indignant because the canal did
not open by A pril Is.
