THE only proper disposition of this
fund is in the payment of warrants
drawn upon 1t for the fiscal year 1883;
that 1t cannot be used for any other
purpose; that no part or balance there
of can be transferred to any other
fund. Or, as 1t has been better eX-
pressed by our own court, having pro-
vided revenue for a specific purpose,
in obedience to the constitutional man

not be diverted to other objects until

Colorado Woman Loses.

Spokane, Wash. June 29.-The suit
of Mrs. Helen NJ. Peyton of Denver
against Colonel /. n. Peyton of Spo-
kane was yesterday decided in favor
of the defendant by Judge Richardson
of the Superior Court.
Judge Richardson held that the
KIickitat county divorce decree of 1889
was not void, but had been yoidable,
but that, having slept on her rights for
thirteen years, Mrs. Peyton was
barred by her own laches.
The court held that the settlement OF
1856 was not as in the plaintiffs COM
plant. This settlement, he found. was
n complete settlement Of the rights of
Mrs. Peyton to the community proper
ty, and completely adjudicated her
rights.
Peyton sought to set aside, the. court
held, were conclusive and valid. He
also refused to allow the-plaintin at
torney's fees. -. -
plaintiff, have announced the intention
Of Immediately appealing to the State

CORPORATION FEES
PAID UNDER PROTEST

Denver, June 29.-For the first time.
yesterday, a formal protest was filed
against the payment of the fee charged
by the secretary of state, under the
new revenue law, for the filing of in
corporation papers. When Hall, Bab-
bitt 4 Thayer, attorneys of Colorado
Springs, filed copies of the articles of
incorporation of the United States Re-
duction and Refining Company yester-
day, they paid the fee, S3,015, under
protest. No intimation of the nature
of the argument against the act re-
Quiring the fee was given, and Sec.
retary of State ID. A. Mills was of the
opinion that the law which first ap-
peared House bill No. 1 had.been con-
fused with the law first known as
House bill No. 4. the latter being the
bill which provided for the increase in
the fees of the secretary of state. As
printed in book form, both laws are In
cluded under one cover and 1t now
seems likely that the validity of the
law creating the fees. the fiat tax and
other special levies nnde upon corpo-
rations would be attacked
c. l.. Tut of Colorado Springs Is
president of the company and Charles
II. MacNeill of Colorado Springs is
named as the business agent, for Col
orado Springs. The company was orig.
inally Incorporated under the laws of
the state of New Jersey by Kenneth X.
McLaren, John l. Billings and Horace
S. Gould. The capitalization Is $1O,-
OOO, 600. divided into $4,OOOOOO of pre-
ferred stock and $6,OOO,OOO of common
stock. The new company will absorb
the Standard and the Colorado Philn-
delphia smelters ut Colorado City ana
the Metallic, the Union and the Nation

GERS of both the United states Reduc-
tion and Refining Company and the

"A Harmless Ocfoous.

New York dispatches announce the
impending formation OF trust to
control the salt of the earth" 1t Is
to be an amalgamation of the National
Salt company OF this country, the
Canadian Salt company. and the Brit
ish Salt union, with a capital OF $5o,-
1000. "Outside of the savage cohn-
tries and Russia" says one of its pro-
moters. ut will supply the entire
world with SALT
Such tales may serve to attract IN
thinking investors. They VIII doubt
less be swallowed without salt by
those who believe that the trusts
are coming to own the earth. Yet In
reality the salt trust must be very
harmless octopus, and even those most
timid with regard to octopuses need
feel no alarm. A brief consideration
OF some of the salt deposits OF the
United States alone will clearly show
how utterly impossible 1t Is for any
corporation to control that article TO
the detriment of consumers. The
known salt deposits of New York state
alone cover 5000 square miles and av-
erage forty feet in thickness. They
are COnSeTNdtiNely tStiihattu W ~"
tain enough salt to supply the United
States for from 700 to 1000 years.
There are also vast deposits in Ohio.
Michigan. and both the Virginias.
These are some distance under ground.
that near Cleveland. for example. be-
ing $500 to 3,4OO feet down.
But in Lincoln county. Nebraska,
there is bed of rock salt so easily
mined that one man can dig and wheel
out Ave tons day. The deposits OF
Reno county, Kansas. are from 3OO to
400 feet thick. giving about 2.OO0.OOO
barrels to each acre of surface. In
Louisiana there are beds of salt over
300 feet thick. OF unknown extent. and
80 per cent pure without refining.
These are only few and the best
known OF the salt deposits OF this
country. In addition there is always
the sea.
II the proposed International salt
company succeeds in its aims that sue
cess will not be due to any actual or
possible monopoly of the supply OF
salt. It can succeed only by keeping
prices so low, SO near the cost OF pro-
duction, that none will care to COM
pete with it. There is no possibility
of any trust octopus. no matter how
large, grasping the worlds salt. That
is necessity Of life which cannot be
monopolized.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

A cablegram has been received at tne
State Department from Mr.. Rockhlii,
saying that he will leave Pekin 1or
home in August. by which time 1t is
hoped Mr.. Conger will have nearly
reached his destination.
Mr.. Vasquez, the San DOMINICAN
charge, acting for his government, anu
Acting Secretary Hill for the United
States government, have signed pro
tOcol extending for one year from uatc
the pending reciprocity treaty between
the United States and DOMINICAN re-
public.
The New York Journal of Commerce
says that Washington advices indicate
that the question of currency IN the
Philippines will soon come up Tor Sc
rious consideration. There was strong
pressure last autumn for executive ac
ton which would relieve the nctuhi
scarcity of silver coins in the islands.
This scarcity was caused by the heavy
demand for currency in China WINE
the forces of the powers We're Mt their
maximum there. but 1t seems TO nave
cured itself to some extent. In view
of the partial amelioration of these
conditions, 1t is probable that Secre-
tary Root will confine his action to the
study of the situation with the view
of recommending to Congress COM
prehensive plan for n permanent cur
rency system In the Philippines. The
plan which Secretary Root and Sec
retnry Gage discussed last autumn,
and which had the cordial indorse-
ment of the secretary of the treasury,
was the adoption of n fixed rate OF
! exchange between the American gold
dollar and the Mexican silver dollar,
, which have been the standard coin In
the Philippines.

Anti-Trust Law Is Futile.

The story that the Department of
Justice is investigating certain alleged
violations of the antitrust law, says
Walter Wellman in the Chicago Rec-
ord Herald, is both true and unimport-
ant. Such investigations have been
made from time to time ever since the
Sherman law was placed on the statute
books. Various attorneys general have
attempted prosecutions of trusts under
that law, but have been forced to
abandon the attempt on account of the
Inherent weakness of the act. Various
decisions of the courts have blocked
all progress toward the enforcement OF
its provisions. 1t is admitted by all
lawyers who have looked into the mat
ter that the Sherman law Is virtually Il
lead letter and that it is useless to at
temI0 I0prosecutions.
Wfiht is now being done by the off,
,ials of the Department of Justice Is
Just what they have been doing Tor
several years: when complaints are
filed of alleged violations of the law
they look into the facts. Sometimes
they bring suits. only to be ruled out
of court under decisions already rem
,lered. Usually an investigation is an
end of the chapter and the effort sim
mcrs down to n few dusty papers re-
posing in n Department of Justice pig
eonhole. There Is not trust In the
United States that fears prosecution
under the Sherman law.

Roerr " FfGbferS.

Captain Reichmann the military at
tache sent by the United States gov
ernment to observe the operations on
the Boer army. has made official report
which carries more weight than the
views of newspaper correspondents.
Cartain Reichmann praises the Beers
as men, but criticises them for lack OF
discipline as soldiers. He says that
the Americans in the Boer army are
the aggressive element in 1t. He init
mates, however. that defeat was inev-
table in any case because OF the over
whclming numbers of the British.
During a stay of seven months Cap
tain Reichmann saw no drunkenness
and heard no profanity In the Boer
cau:ps-a record hardly to be duDli-
Gated in any American camp during
war or peace. The burghers read their
Bibles arj hymn books after the days
fighting or marching. and their re-
ligions sentiment controlled them at
all times. They were Mortified at the
slaughter of tie enemy almost as much
as they were grieved by their own
losses. They never failed to treat
Briti:h wo,'nded or prisoners humane
Iy. The military attache remarks that
II there was any violation Of the rules
OF war it was not confined to one side.
