Judge Indy of Denver has just
rendered a decision that will be of
interest to the railway fraternity and
to the travelling public. The decision
is the result of case against a scalper
in that city and is in support of an
old decision rendered in the Wiscon-
sin supreme court ten years ago.
Judge Indy holds that when ticket
is purchased of the railway company,
it is not piece of property but sim
ply receipt from the railway company
stating that the purchaser has paid for
transportation between certain points,
and on surrender of the receipt is en-
titled to that transportation. This
decision puts a new light on the mat
ter, as it has been the aim of the
scalper to make it appear that the
ticket when purchased is a piece OF
property, and not a receipt for the
fare paid.

CLEWS FINANCIAL. LETTER.

Henry Clews's financial letter of
October "a, is one of the most inter
esting that he has issued for some
time. An optimistic view is taken of
the financial situation. Among other
things be says:
Beyond financial precincts the out
look though conflicting is not discour-
aging. Everyone is familiar with
the fact that agriculture, the back
bone of the nation, has just secured
another profitable harvest. The mer-
camille classes are also in good shape
There has been little if any OVERHEAD
ing of Importance, our merchants hav-
ing escaped the speculative frenzy
which so nearly overwhelmed Wall
Street. The least satisfactory feature
in the outlook is the industrial situa-
tion, which is suffering from the con
sequences of the trust mania and la
Dor agitation. Both capital and labor
have been aiming at monopoly: both
have been defying natural laws; both
have been working on lines opposed
to the strongest impulses in human ma
ture, and both must pay the penalty.
Capital has already taken consider
able of its punishment, and labor is
beginning to see the memorable conse-
quences of unwise leadership. Now
that the iron boom is over the infia-
tion based upon those phenomena is
rapidly passing away. 1t must not be
forgotten that we are just leaving be-
hind thu most extraordinary move
ment in iron the world ever saw, its
chief source being the practical re-
building of American railways dur
ing the last five years. This being &C
complished the iron trade must sub
side to normal conditions. Possibly
this may mean period of temporary
prostration; but with lower prices
other demands will develop. and the
export trade is open as a safety valve.
Other industries are in much better
shape than the iron trade. and there
are few signs of overproduction, the
only restraint upon business being the
high prices induced by high costs of
production. Nevertheless, outside of
the above draw backs the outlook is for
at least another six months of good
business.

WEEKLY IOURNAL-MINRR ana
LATE LEGISLATURE -

at is a common thing to speak of
legislature which has adjourned as
the late legislature. signifying that
it is no more. As a matter of fact the
legislature does not become late I'M
til the Hext one has been elected or
until the two years for which the
members are elected expire. The
twenty second legislature is therefore
as much in existence as it was a year
ago. "-Republican.
The Journal-Miner takes issue with
its erudite contemporary, and insists
that the ''late'' legislature is the cor
rect way of speaking of the body of
mel who were the prime factors of
disturbance in the Stoddard camp.
That 1.-The twenty second legislature
is as much III existence as it was a
year ago. is an assertion however,
which no one will probably deny, as
a year ago the members who we're to
form the twenty second legislature
we're not even elected, and in some in
stances were not even nominated.
But if that assertion were amend
ed to read that the aforesaid legisla-
ture is as much in existence as it was
last February it would open up good
grounds for argument. If it were, one
could see S Secretary Stoddard's coat
tails floating through the streets of
Phenix, at an angle that would per-
NIT the playing of marbles on them
as its possessor scurried through al
legs or hotfooted along sidewalks
chasing some legislator to secure his
vote against the Cowan bill.
Is the click of the telegraph ma
chine still heard as the electric cur
rent sppeds with lightning rapidity
from Los Angeles, "wire me fifty: am
broke or as a reply might be sent
''too late to wire; draw on mes" If
so perhaps the legislature is still a
living reality
But really the twenty second Iegis-
lature is a ''late'' affair. 1t has passed
into history. While the terms of the
Legislators composing it have not ex
pired, the legislature is so dead that
nothing but blast from Gabriel's-
no the governors horn calling it into
extra session can ever resurrect it,
and there is no law authorizing the
governor to call an extra session.
Our contemporary fails to distin-
guish between the legislature as
body of men in session for business,
and the individuality of the members
who compose it. While the legisla-
tors still live, the legislature is as
dead as an Egyptian mummy.

POLITICIANS DEFEND STODDARD

A telegram in Wednesdays Repub-
lIcan says that New York politicians
have taken up the fight to keep Secre-
tary Stoddard in Office, regardless of
his actions. They claim, it is stated,
to understand all the motives back of
the charges, and have satisfied them
selves that Mr.. Stoddard is guilty of
no wrong doing.
As previously stated in sthis paper,
the motives behind these charges, cut
no figure whatever, the question be-
ing, is an attempt to corrupt a terri
torial legislature, in order to continue
ones hold on an official graft, an act
to be endorsed.
Does Senator Plat. Governor Odell
and Chairman Dunn, of the New York
state committee stand for such actions
on the part of an official? If so why
should they decry Tammany in their
own state for its corrupt practices? Or
do they set up one rule of action for
an official in New York, and adopt a
different standard for an official in
Arizona?
Again, when asked for a report of
the fees taken in by him and the sec
rotary declared upon his honor that
during year and half's incumbency
in office they amounted to only s1S, =
600 while an investigating committee,
with the fee book destroyed by Mr.
Stoddard, could account for over $50, =
000-is that statement and the Grim
inal act of destroying his fee book to
be condoned and shielded by the
fiimsy statement that improper mo-
tives lie behind the charges?
Is boodling in the postoff1ce depart
ment any greater crime than corrup-
tion in a territorial official?
Two officials we're but recently re-
moved from Office in this territory
without even a hearing. That their
practices were, to say the least, irreg-
uiar, they we're mild, in comparison
to the charges preferred against the
secretary, and which according to gen.
eral report have been substantiated.

Advices received at the state de-
partment from unofficial sources in
dictate that there again has been a
change in the sentiment of the Colon
bian senate respecting the Panama
canal, and that there is a considerable
increase of the strength of the ele-
ment which is willing to make terms
with the United States. The agents
of the state department have found it
difficult to make plain the fact, even
to the Colombians, that the Hay Her
ran canal treaty is absolutely and
finally dead, and that no act of the
Colombian senate can resurrect it.
If there is to be anything done in the
direction of a Panama canal under
United States control it therefore
must be the result of entirely new ne
gotiations, and none such have been
instituted.
