CORPORATIONS MUST PAY
THEY NOW ARE DEFRAUDING
 THE PUBLIC.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-In answer to references from the Collectors of h. ternal Revenue. all bearing upon the question as to whether the shipper or carrier shall pay for and affix the re- Quired revenue stamp to bills of lading, etc, Assistant Attorney General Boyd has held as follows:
 The law makes 1t the duty of every railroad and steamboat company, car rier, express company, corporation or person whose ( equation 1t is to act as such, to issue to the shipper, cOnsignOr, or his agent, or person from whom any goods are accepted for transportation, a bill of lading, manifest or some other evidence of the receipt of goods, wares or merchandise received for carriage and transportation and this bill of lad ing, manifest or memorandum requires a revenue stamp of the value of one cent to be affixed to 1t and canceled In case of failure to issue such bill of lading the law imposes penalty of $50 upon the carrier guilty of such failure. The penalty for failure to so affix stamp is not more than S100.
 "The purpose of the law is clear. It was to tax the corporation and not the shipper and those provisions undoubt- edly fix upon the express companies and other carriers the duty of provid- ing, affixing and canceling the stamp and their failure to so provide, affiX and cancel them subjects them to the penalties provided by law.
 Tt is suggested that some of these carriers are refusing to receive goods for shipment until the shipper pays the tax. While it Is not my province to advise as to the recourse which the shipper may have in instances of this kind, yet I am sure that the laws are ample to require public carriers and express companies to receive goods ten dered for shipping or suffer damages for such refusal"

THE NORTHWEST STORM.

In Many Places 1t Reaches the Pro-
portions of a Blizzard.
St. Paul, Nov. 22.-The first general
snow storm of the winter has prevailed
throughout the northwest during the
past Sc hours, and it still continues
without much abatement. The snow
has been accompanied by high wind,
reaching in many places the proper
tions of a genuine blizzard. The fall
of snow has not been great, but the
wind has drifted it badly and many
places report considerable delay to rail-
road traffic. Specials from various
points in North and South Dakota,
Minnesota, Wisconsin and northern
Iowa report the storm still prevailing
and local business impeded. In the
British northwest the temperature is
"a and rs degrees below zero. In this
city it has fallen to 10 below. The
storm was especially severe on Lake
Superior, Duluth reporting 70 mile
gale.
An Omaha dispatch says: Nebraska
Is in the grip of a norther. For 36
hours a strong wind from the north
west has swept the state, and during
the most of that time It has driven a
fine snow ahead Of it. Considerable
loss of stock, both cattle and sheep, Is
feared, owing to the fact that many
thousands of herds have been brought
in from the south for feeding and have
not yet had time to become sufficiently
acclimated to withstand the stress Of
the storm. One death from exposure
is reported. F. H. Thompson. of Des
Moines, Ia, was found dead on the
street in South Omaha about o'clock
last evening

Employs an Army of men.
Railroad System of New jersey
a vast Institution.


William Stainsby, Chief of the New
Jersey Bureau of Labor and Statistics
has collected and completed for the first
time, a statement showing the number
of men employed on the steam railroads
in the State, and the total wages paid.
The statement includes all the large
systems. All the roads with the exeep-
tion of one or two small lines, are a
part of these large systems. The state
ment shows the great number of men
thus employed and the immense amount
of money paid by the railroads in this
State yearly in wages. The period COW
cred is the last fiscal year, which for all
the roads, except the Pennsylvania, is
for the year ending June 80, 1898. The
Pennsylvania reports for the calendar
year 1897. The statement for each
road is for the average number of en-
ployes engaged in service on the COM
panies lines in New Jersey during the
twelve months. The actual number
engaged in the different departments
may vary slightly from one month to
another, but the variation is triding.
The reports made by the different roads
are not entirely uniform. In the main
they conform to certain well defied lines.
Below the total number of employees
on the different systems in New Jersey
is shown together with the total amount
paid in wages to these employees during

An Editors Hard Lot.

There are always those who will kick.
For instance, if you publish jokes with
whiskers on them, some will say that
you ought to be in lunatic JOINT, If
you don't print something to smile at,
they say you are a pessimistic fossil. II
you spread yourself and write good
original article, they win say it is stolen.
If you reprint an article, they say you
can't write. If you say observing word
for man, you are partial if you COM
pliment the ladies, the men are jealous;
and if you don't the verdict of the ladies
lis to the effect that your paper is not fit
to use in the construction of a hustle. III
you stay in your Office, you are afraid to
remain on the streets if you do, you are
lazy. II you look seedy, you are squand,
ering your money; ifyou wear good
clothes, you are a dude and don't pay
for them. Ifyou play social game Of
any kind and get stuck, you are fish !. ii
you win, you are tin horn. and SO it
goes through one continual round of
pleasant complications. RosLym mich. }

A sermon that Aroused the Cur
iOusity of West virginians,

Weeling, W. Va, Nov. 2O.-The pas
tor of little church in Tucker County
went to Atlantic City; N. j.. on one Of
those cheap excursions last summer and
apparently never recovered from the
shock. He has recently told his. flock
about the sinful resort, after much pray
erful consideration. He spoke of the
scant bathing suits, and among other
statements that he made to the noun
tainer audience was this :
81 sat for hours watching shameless
women disport themselves on the beach
and in the water
The minister's description Of what he
saw was. so vivid, and showed such
earnest and close observation of the de-
tails of the wicked place that clubs
have been formed among his flock for
the purpose of taking advantage Of the
first Atlantic City excursion that comes
along. The effect of the sermon is felt
in other communities, where similar
preparations are in progress.
