Much Testimony Introduced.
The whole forenoon was taken up
in hearing the testimony of witnesses
for the plaintiff. j. C. Painter,
Charles Sherman, Martin Fletcher, A.
j. Evans, George T. Welch and George
Strutcners gave material evidence.
Mr.. Painter was present at the time
the contract was signed and acknow-
lodged by the defendants. The burden
of the testimony was to show that Mr..
Hunt had kept his part of the agree
ment between himself and the men
signing the subsidy contracts. A. J..
Evans, George Strutners and George
Welch testified that the road mad
been completed according to sub
sidy contracts and that the service
furnished was adequate.
In outlining the defense John
Sharpstein said he expected to show
that the road was not finished in the
time specified in the contracts; that
the road was not built to the head
of Eureka Flat as the contracts, sign
ed by his clients, provided it should
be and that instead of main line,
the w. & r. c. was nothing but a
branch. The question of what Is con-
sidered the head of the Flat will have
considerable bearing On the case. The
plaintiff contend that Pleasant
View, the end of the W. & r. c., on
Eureka Flat is considered the head
of the Flat. The Uptons have a large
body of land in that vicinity.
Judge Gillian adjourned court un-
til 2 o'clock this afternoon. Up to 8
o'clock the plaintiffs attorneys were
still introducing evidence in cOnten-
ton of their claims.

DEMOCRATIC TENDENCIES ABROAD.

DEMOCRATIC TENDENCIES ABROAD.
That a popular upheaval analogous TO
that which is CONFUSING the Russian
empire is likely to develop in other
European countries recent events make
evident A Vienna dispatch of a few
days ago reported that from a window
of the royal palace Emperor Francis
Joseph watched 100000 of his subjects
bearing red flags march by the parla-
ment building, in silent, ominous de-
mand for full and equal suffrage for
all Austrians. The demonstration was
under the auspices OF the social demo-
Gratis, who have become very strong
organization in Austria and are increas-
ing in numbers. The demonstration at
Vienna showed how we'll organized are
the forces demanding universal suffrage
and is probably but the beginning Of a
movement that will force the govern.
ment to make the concession called for.
A correspondent at the Austrian capital
says the signs are abundant that unless
the government hastens to prepare
large measure of suffrage reform. vi
emma will soon be the scene of serious
popular movement. Hungary is less ac-
cessible to outside influence, but there,
too, the Significance Of the popular de-
mand for universal suffrage is unmis-
taxable. The common people of Europe
are beginning to understand their power
and are preparing to exercise it.
The Paris correspondent Of a London
paper states that the revolutionary
socialists all over the continent have
their eyes fixed on Russia, where what
has already taken place has materially
raised their hopes Such party exists
in France and is particularly active just
now, in view of the general election.
Thus all the political forces in Europe
which are opposed to the existing order
of things are extraordinarily active and
it is inevitable that some of the changes
they are working for will be effected.
Movements of this character are not
likely to go backward. They may halt
Tor time, nut they Go not recede. Ihe
seed they SOW will often develop very
slowly, but they are never killed. Once
the spirit OF freedom and equal rights
has taken firm hold upon a people it
may be possible to give It temporary
check, but its growth cannot be wholly
stopped.
The democratic tendency abroad is a
matter which the American people can
regard with entire satisfaction, so long
as it does not manifest itself in violent
outbreaks and disorderly demOnstra-
tons. All present conditions indicate
great changes in European political af-
fairs in the not remote future and they
will be in the direction of more liberal
institutions

NOTABLE DECISION on TAXATION
Federal Supreme Court Lays DOW"
Rule for Taxing AuthoriueS'


Soma rnonths ago we directed attention
% two decisions Of the federal supreme
court holding. in effect, that states may
tax corporate property within their JurIs-
dIction even II the owners are domclleu
elsewhere and conduct their business unuer
a charter conferred by another soy
ereiKnty. ,,.s l.,
Last week the same tribunal decided III
a Kentucky case, that states cannot tax
corporate property where it Is not situated
or used. though the owners be subject 10
their several jurisdictions. obviously TINS
conclusion is the converse OF the FORMER
one, but in view of the earnestness win
which the Kentucky supreme court hau
contended for the proposition that 'ne
situs OF personal property is the domlcile
of the owner" a proposition 1t alleged 10
be firmly established in law, the federal
court considered the issue with equal ear
nestness.
The question presented in few words
was this: Is a corporation organized under
the laws OF a state subject to tRS'toh
therein upon that part OF It's tanglple
property which is permanently located IN
other states and used there in the prose-
cution OF its business?
Expressly distinguishing between Tangible
and intangible personality, the federal SUI
preme court answers the question in the
negative. 1t holds that the domicile or the
owner is not always and necessarily the
situs Of his OF its personal property Ihe
adoption of the sweeping principle upheld
by the Kentucky judiciary, 1t says would
involve possibilities OF an extremely Sc
rious character" 1t continues, by way OF
Illustration:
Not only would 1t authorize the taxation
Of furniture and other property kept at
country houses in other states, or even In
foreign countries, of stocks of goods and
merchandise kept at branch establishments
when already taxed at the state OF their
situs' but of that enormous mass OF per-
sonal property belonging to railways and
other corporations which might be taxed IN
the state where they are incorporated
though their charter contemplated the con-
| struction and operation OF roads wholly
outside the state and sometimes across the
| continent, and when in no other particular
they are subject to it's laws and entitled to
| its protection"
Perhaps the Kentucky idea was to dis
courage the practice Of Incorporating com
panies in one state for the purpose OF
doing business elsewhere, but the supreme
court while admitting that this practice
Is OF very doubtful propriety' points out
that its lagality has long been recognized
and that legislation alone can furnish
remedies for the evils growing out OF It.
The decision Is extremely important
theoretically as well as practically. Il will
! prevent double taxation in many cases

RAILROAD ADVERTISING.
Publicity as "A Promoter of Business
Proves Its worth.
New York Times


The announcement of the intention OF
the New York Central railroad MANAGE
ment to appoint George F. Daniels
general advertising manager OF the New
York Central lines, a newly created
position, draws attention to the extensive
use Of advertising by the railroads as a
means of increasing their business. The
New York Central has for a long time used
various forms of advertising. and has spent
a considerable sum annually in the publi-
cation OF railroad literature intended to
increase the number of railroad patrons.
Recently the Southern Pacific made a spe-
cial appropriation of 100000 for the pur-
pose of drawing the publcs' attention to
the advantages and attractions of the Pa
cine coast Very few Of the railroads report
separately their expenses for advertising,
though the large sums reported by many
OF the systems as unclassified items under
general expenses doubtlessly represent
largely the cost Of securing the attention
Of the public through advertising The
Atchlson. Topeka & Santa Fe, among
it's general expenses. includes an item
headed advertising. etc. Last year the
expenditures under this item amounted to
s1ss,s21. compared with si4S,522 the previous
year.
In addition to the advertising done in
the public prints many of the railroads
throughout the country issue pamphlets
and magazines intended as advertising mat
ter. Railroad time tables are also made
the medium of advertising the special
advantages claimed by each system. At
tention has frequently been called to the
different policy in this respect adopted by
railroads in Europe, which charge for much
OF the printed information which. In this
country, Is distributed free aud ia a form
that attracts the attention Of travellers.
