AS a result of the terrible holocaust caused by the Windsor hotel fire sew eral bills have been introduced fin the state legislature at Albany, notably those hy Messrs. Greene.

pexeneracy In Sheep When the Prac-
 tice h Continued.
 Among sheep the direct loss from close inbreeding is the most apparent, says E. P. Smith in the Boston Culti- vator. The degeneration of flock is 30 rapid that you can almost see it from one generation to another. 1t naturally follows that the need of thoroughbred rams from other focks to add new blood to the sheep is greater in flocks that have been inbred for succession of yearA
 The first thing noticeable in the line of degeneration is the undersize of the lamh- The animals actually show smaller size from one generation to an other, and if the inbreeding is kept up they become small and puny creatures, or at least a fair percentage of the lambs win be thus undersized.
 The loss is of itself twofold The lamb that is undersized produces less wool because there is smaller surface for it to grow on. In the course of sev- eral generations the amount of surface may decrease by almoet square foot Count up how much wool is produced on a square foot of the sheep's hide and you will get at the exact loss. Then the undersized lamb yields so much less meat for the butcher. The loss here, too. is considerable. and when finally sent to be killed the loss on the wool and the mutton will make rather startling sum.
 4
 But this is not the only loss sustained from inbreeding. The wool gradually grows thinner on the hide of the poor. scrubby sheep. Only one hair is found where before two grew. The inherent weakness of the animals shows itself in the thin crop of wool, the same as an old man or one suffering from long sick ness or insidious disease. The quality of the wool naturally degenerates along with the other things Place the wool of scrub on the scales. and it is found wanting in weight. Place it then before the sorter and picker and they quickly mark it down as second class The fiber lacks something that experts can quickly distinguish.
 Here are the fourfold losses: Less mutton. less surface for the wool. less wool to the square inch and inferior quality of wool, which brings only the lowest prices in the markets.

The property of corpora>
tions shall not be confiscated
as long as the courts are open
for the redress Of wrongs"
Judge Palmer Of the Arapahoe
district court thus spoke in renders
ing an opinion overruling a de-
murrer of the city against the tram
way company.
The latter company has been
bounded much on the order of the
Grand Junction Water company in
this city.
The words of Judge Palmer cans
not be construed as being given
partially to defend the tramway
but on account of that pros
found sense ofjustice, which should
animate the expounders Of the law.
Corporate property has rights
the same as individuals and this
scheme Of conhscation or debase-
ment of those rights, led on by
fanatics and politicians will in the
end lead to far-reaching troubles.
We believe and have believed for
several years past, that municipali>
ties should own their own fanchises
and utilities. If they do not desire
to own them, those to whom they
are granted should pay literally
for their use. We believe that
eventually all will be owned by the
people and we hope the day will
not be prolonged TO distant day.
With this feeling, however. we
have not allowed an antagonism to
grow, which would affect vested
rights. No man wants to see the
money he may have invested years
before di ssipated through the
Vaccinations of sehemers and poll
ticians. These men are not usually
animate d by spirit for the public
good, SO much as they are by
private and ulterior motives.
Men, dealing with the property
of others, should deal fairly and
honestly. Their judgments and
conclusions should arise from pre-
misses of reason and judgment, not
private rancor and political hate.
No capital will seek investment
through corporate means, in builds
ing factories and mills for the
manufacture of salable merchandise
so long as that capital will be am
tagonized and must pay tribute
to political heelers.
The words of Judge Palmer have
a pointed local application just at
this time. If this city desires to go
into the water business it should
deal justly with existing vested
capital. Whenever convicts. nec>
