THE PASS" QUESTION.

We are inclined 10 take exception
to Attorney General Anderson's
opinion that no State. county or city
official has a right to ride on a pass
hereafter
There is a vast difference between
a pass and n Gree pass
A man may be employed by "a
transportation company as an at
torney or clerk or what not. When
that company gives him pass over
its line it is clearly understood that
the pass is a part of his pay for
services rendered. In proof of that
fact let MIN sever his connection with
that company and he viii find his
pass has lost its grip.
Take a newspaper publisher for
another example. Newspaper men
publish the time card of the trans
portation company for which they
receive SO much money and trans
portation. Ii l. a bona fide business
contract. and we hold that the Con-
stitution cannot annul that contract
unless it be shown that such a con-
tract is contrary to the best interests
of the Commonwealth. To prove
that it Is n contract. and that these
passes are part of such a contract.
let the publisher refuse TO print the
time card. notices. etc. and all passes
will De refused him at once. Hepavs
for every pass he gets. and often mt
the end of the year he finds that he
has paid big price for them.
To our mind the opinion of the
Attorney General Is too broad. and
We do not believe that such an opiu-
ion will stand the test in court: but
then we remember that it Is only his
opinion, and every man has a right
To express an opinion.
Opinions are not law. 1t remains
for the courts TO say whether this
opinion represents the true meaning
of the law. We await, with consider
able interest, the decision of some
court on this subject.

reader worker in conjunction with the owner of the mind to find it out with
 any certainty. In my experience a vast
 number of out-of-town requests for samples are prompted by the desire of women to obscure places to know just what is being worn.'
 "A look at some of the samples re- turned to us would indicate that doz- en sewing socieits had passed them all in review. There's nothing carried in stock in this house that we are not asked to cut samples from. Calls for carpet samples are frequent, and many
 times large piece has to be cut from the roll in order to give any idea of the pattern. Sometimes before a bolt of goods of any kind is sold two or three cuttings are made into it, for samples, and then when half a dozen bolts and pieces of bolts that drag" are finally punched and marked down more sam ples must be cut off.
 Looking at this seeming waste of cloth, it would seem to be almost too heavy to be considered, but every year the teritority of the mail-o order business is enlarging, until it has become one of the great factors in the trade of every big retail house. Considered as an es- abolished department that must be kept up, the sample cutting rooms are iln- portant as advertising centers. Send ing bunch of new goodH patterns to the ordinary country town, we might count that at least half a dozen families will see it, and even If our retail trade through mail orders is not stimulated, we may count that many a country merchant is reminded of our jobbing department by these students of sam ples. Sample cutting has come to stay but, thank goodness, the crazy quilt has gone, probably never to return."-- Chicago Tribune,

THE STOCK MARX EFT.
StiII Confined to Narrow Professional
 Ruf.


 New York, June 1.-The stock mar ket to-day was still confined to its mar row professional rut and lacked even the few special features which varied the monotony yesterday There was but the general tone was rather heavy. ] The losses were small and were caused by very light selling, which was proba- bly, due merely to the efforts of the professionals to afford basis for trad | ing. The rioting in Chicago over the | teamsters' strike had the effect of | somewhat sharpening apprehension over the subject of labor troubles gen orally, although much qualification is expressed on all sides at the absence of violence in the mining region. The impression is deepening however that a long struggle is in prospect. The eff fleets of the coal shortage are in the meantime growing more acute and the
 
 coming ultimately involved in the dis pute Is always kept in mind. This pos sbillty may have accounted in part for the rather marked heaviness of the United States Steel stocks, The de- cision to maintain the present price of steel rails for 1903 and reports of large orders already received running into the next year did not prevent the sell ing of United States Steel, especially of the preferred. The weather bureaus report of damage by frost last week to corn and the delay to the planting of the crop and it's backward cultivation by reason of unfavorabIe weather helped on the undertone of depression. The extraordinarily favorable outlook for the cotton crop reported by the same authority was the motive for some buying of cotton carrying rail roads, especially Kansas and Texas and St Louis Southwest ern. Southern Rail- way was also one of the firm stocks in the market, A sharp reaction in Ca nadan Pacific after it's recent sustained advance had some sympathetic effect on the market. Cont ntinental Tobacco preferred also lost all of it's advance which has accompanied the activity in the Consolidated Tobacco bonds. A rise of points in Detroit United Railways was not explained and about half of it was lost.
 Call money was osmewhat easier but | held at per cent or above Sterling | exchange continued to advance. The | firmness of exchange in spite of the | higher rate for call money and the sell ing by American holders of British | consols to take profits is attributed to a demand by bankers to cover against | previous sales of exchange bills made in the course of borrowing abroad The market closed semi-stagnant and heavy. Bonds were rather more active than stocks and the price movement was irregular Total sales par value S2, 720, GOO.
 United States threes declined 1-4 and he twos registered Is per cent. on he last call.
