The Liberty Cap.

No doubt every boy ano girl knows
what is meant by the nbe.ty cap. Bri-
tannia always carries one on the point
OF her spear.
Hers IS blue. with a white border.
quite like that which crowns the head
of our own Columbia.
Only Columbia has in its white border
the thirteen stars, which represent the
thirteen original colonies.
This cap was first adopted by the
Philadelphia Light Horse Troop. when
they escorted General Washington to
New York. and becoming the token of
freedom. il was stamped upon Ameri-
can coins in 57S3 as a symbol of liberty.
The cap has been traced back to the
ancient Phrygians. who after conquer
ing the east of Asia Minor. wore their
national caps as a mark OF indepen-
dence and 70 distinguish them from
the primitive inhabitants. The cap was
also stamped upon their COINS. Fror1
them the custom passed TO the Ro-
mans.
A small red cap placed upon the head
Of slave signified that henceforth he
was free
When Saturnus captured Rome 263 b.
c. he holsted a cap on the point of a
spear to intimate tSat all slaves who
would join him should be free. In the
same manner the conspirators after
the murder OF Caesar raised a Phrygia
cap as a symbol of liberty.
Minnie Pointlace cried all day
Because she was so tall,
Harry Velvet cried all day
Because he was so small
But Johnny LaElelegs laughed all day
And never cried at all!

RECORDERS WANT RELIEF.
George r. DUNCAN Says Vast Sums Go
Into a "Dead" Fund.

George T.. DUNCAN, recorder of Delaware
county, Is in the city for the purpose OF
interesting legislators in relief requested
by the county recorders of the State. In
an interview last night Mr.. DUNCAN said:
1.-THE law requires the recorders to pay
all their collections into fund known as
the recorders fur d. and from this fund
their salaries paid. The excess after
paying their salaries Is not paid into the
general fund to be used in paying county
expenses, but is required by law to be kept
separate in the recorders fund.
'The present salaries of the recorders
were fixed in 1895, when were still in
the panic of $685. business or every KIND
being demoralized and prices at the lowest
ebb. The total limit of salaries then fixed
was SIS, 9O0 which was more than the total
collections of the recorders of the State at
that time.
s'Tt was neither intended nor expected
that the collections should materially ex-
ceed the salaries fixed, or. In other words,
that the law should be a revenue producing
measure. hence no provision was made for
transferring the recorders fund into the
general fund. But the collections have
greatly exceeded the salaries fixed. In 1901
the excess was ISL 900. in 1902 IL was more
than $4,000 and in 1903 1t Will be nearly
100000 or an average Of more than $1,000
to each county. The recorders fund now
amounts to $450,0O0. 1t has not been taken
from the taxpayers as taxes, but every
dollar of 1t has been collected by the record
ers for service performed for which they
have received no pay.
FUND GROWING FAST.
This fund will be s650OO0 before the
Legislature meets in 1905. This fund, which
at per cent. will amount to $4,000 an
nually. is lying idle in the various county
treasures of the State and Is doing no.
body any good. Is it not imperative that
this Legislature shall yet provide by law
that this idle recorders fund shall be
turned into the general fund and become
active? Is IL too much to ask that the
officials who are creating this fund by their
labors shall in the future have at least
a small per cent. of this excess?
1.-The recorder of Randolph county in
1902 did s, 5000 worth of work salary
of 81 500 and paid into this idle fund g. 400. 40.
The recorder of Grant county did S,7SS.S0
worth of work on salary of $500 and
contributed $4.4SS.S0 to the idle fund.

SCHENECTADY, n. ", March 1.-The
Potter case has been settled by the Paint

liam Potter will be allowed to go to work
as union painter and at the same time
remain member of the militia. These
are exactly the terms which he has been
standing out for for the last three months.
The agreement was reached at a confer
ence held here between a delegation from
the Painters Union. a committee from
the Builders Exchange, the organization
of all local employers in the building trades
and First Vice President Hedrick, of the
International Painters Union.
Hedrick told the local painters that the
Potter case had injured the organization
more than anything that could happen to
II, and II must be settled. He said the
international executive board could grant
the local union a dispensation to admit
Potter and that he was sure the dispense
ton would be granted. The painters
agreed to accept the proposition.

Should BE Killed or Amended.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
Senate Bill 363 is intended TO amend Sec
ton of act for the construction of
street-railway companies, which was passed
by the General Assembly in $780, This law,
as it now stands, is a very dangerous one.
1t seeks to give the board of directors of
one or more street-railway corporations
the right TO get together and merge one
street-railway system with one or half
a dozen others. without the consent of the
stockholders, either majority or minority.
Under the law above referred TO the board
of directors of two or more corporations
may get together and consolidate or merge
their companies without the consent of the
stockholders. who have gone into the mark
ct i'm good faith and purchased the stock
of some street or interurban railway and
invested the hard-earned savings of life
time, may practically confscate their stock
and make an absolute change as to their
original investment without consulting
them in any way whatever. This is. to
say the least, unjust, and should not be
encouraged by any further legislation. The
Senate bill should be killed entirely, or
no such consolidation should be permit
ted unless by the unanimous consent of the
stockholders of the companies desiring TO
make such consolidation.
The Bill 1863 will increase the facilities for
the organization of great railway trusts.
and under the bill which Senate Bill $50
seeks to amend will permit connfiscation of
vested rights without consent or representa-
ton of the minority stockholders. The
members of the legislative bodies through
out the United States are fully advised
as to the public sentiment against the
further formation of trusts, and the bad
or i'll effect upon the general prosperity of
the country they are destined to bring
about. stockholders, especially minority
stockholders I'm different corporations, have
a just right to ask protection of their
representatives in the Legislature against
the passage of such inequitable laws.
