Large sums Of money. in the opinion OF
railroad men, are every year lost to
banks through the fact that they ae-
cept bills of lading which are defective

reason railroad companies have just IN
dertaken a special campaign TO impress
upon bankers the Importance Of insisting
that bills Of ladlng should have thrown

To place such transactions upon a

Under the law carrier cannot make
delivery OF freight on the basis of such
imperfectly prepared and indorsed docu-

the earelessness OF some shippers and
the negligence Of bankers in accepting
their bills Of lzding. So defective are
some Of these documents that it is often
necessary to return them to the shipping

the property which they represent can
be made.
IN recent years some bankers have been

The Situation in Mexico.

Just what the object those exaggert
ed dispatches now being sent out
from Mexico to the American press,
declaring that a state of revolution
against the Diaz government in that
country has broken out in the north
ern states of that republic, IS hard
to determine, except it be, that the
more sensational and infammatory
are these dispatches, the better pay
is secured by the senders.
There was a time before Pres
ident Diaz assumed the high office
which he has held, with only one
intermission, for the past forty
years, that Mexico was and contln-
ued in a chronic state of revolu-
ton all the time.
In those days it can be easily
recalled, that there were no rail
roads or telegraph wires connecting
the capitol with the outlying
country. and most any cut throat
could stir around and start up a
revolution and keep it going for
weeks before the national govern
ment could gather together troops
and send them out on foot to march
hundreds of miles, before reaching
the scene of the revolt. In
the meantime the revolution had
gathered such Roadway that it took
the government many months to
suppress it, and often failed.
but this state of affairs has
changed under the wise administra-
ton OF Porfirio Diaz who is regard
ed TO-DAY as one of the greatest
statesmen of this age. One of the
first acts of President Diaz and
which he has never as yet aband-
Oned, was the encouragement and
protection of all capital foreign or
domestic invested in that country to
develop its many resources of
wealth. One of the grandest effects
of this wise policy has been to grid
iron that country with the best
equipped railroads, that has made lL
entirely practical for the govern
ment in less than fOrty-eight hours
TO concentrate an army with all the
munitions of war at any place In
that republic to suppress in a few
hours any revolutionary movement
that may be started by agitatOrs or
traitors. 1t would be well for the
American people to take this fact
into serious consideration when
reading these yellow journal re-
ports that are being continually. sent
out from Mexico to the American
press. LAREDO Times.

A good deal is being said in the pa
pers about our jury system, both by
the editors and others. It is gener-
ally that way when there is a mlscar-
riage of justice. Or rather when
some people think that justice has
not been meted out to some one
charged with crime. The jury system
is all right.
One thing might be changed thai
would be an advantage. There are
entirely too many exemptions. When
you take out all the people who are
exempt by law from jury service you
have cut out a large proportion OF
those citizens who are best equipped
to render intelligent verdicts. There
should be no exemptions at all.
AS to reducing the number Of
names to be placed in the jury boz
we are not prepared to say tha
would always result in getting TIT
better men. Even if it did it would
leave too much power in the hands o5
the jury commission. It would be al
right 50 long as we had the right
men composing the jury commission
but suppose the commissioners shouk
want TO manipulate the jury, for an!
reason, and the number to be placed
in the box was materially reduced
what would keep them from putt1n|
in that class of men best suited to ac
complish their purpose. The stand
ard Of the best men is left to them.
Better try to instil higher sens
of right and justice in the minds o
the people. This cannot be done b.
abusing the juries.
AS to changing the time when tn
iury box can be filed there can b
no objection to that, but just how
will help to get better class OF me
we do not understand.

tation.
On February the next interest pay.
ment on the outstanding Olaa bonds is

prior to that time, in order to have
all in readiness to refund the outstand-

have their choice between being paid
off in cash or receiving bonds of the
new issue.
Y. M. g. A. Deal Closed.
Thursday afternoon the directors
and trustees of the Y. NJ. G. A. de-
cided to purchase the property on the
mauka-Ew corner of Hotel and Ala
kea streets, belonging to the Honolulu
Library and Reading Room AssocIa-
ton. The price decided upon is $27,-
900, the figure quoted by the trustees
of the library association.
Now that it is certain that the library
property can be secured, the Y. NJ. G. A.
will proceed to close the deal for the
lands now occupied by the chutney fac
! tory and will commence clearing the
ground in the immediate future.
The property Eva of the library will
cost the Y. NJ. C. A. $4,000 which add
ed to the $4,000 which the library peo-
pie want, will put the total cost of
the site for the new building at $751;
900. There is now $4,000 available,
outside of the C. NJ. Cooke donation of
! $4,000. The latter can, however, be
used only for building materials. Soon
| after the first of the year it is hoped
to have an additional $4,000 and con-
struction work will probably begin
about the first of March.

SWEATING THE
NEW GOLD COIN

Sweating the new twenty dollar gold
pieces, those with Miss Liberty stand
ing in a new attitude and the eagle
making new sort of fight and with
stars ON the rim instead of the familiar
milled edge, is going on either in Ho.
nolulu or on the Coast. New coins
show that considerable effort is being
made by possessors to get as much OF
the gold from them as possible.
Sweating is simple process. The
coins are put into a canvas bag and
the sweater keeps the bag and the
coins in motion. The coins rubbing
together wear off almost infnitesimal
atoms of gold, but it is gold and in the
long run the sweater gets little sur
plus for his efforts.
Some coins which were passed over
the counter of steamship office show
ed clearly that they offer exception
opportunities to the sweater. The rims
or just high enough above the disk
to give an edge which can be pared,
The stars on the rim offer additional
opportunities. Some of the coins show
that the rim edge on the eagle side
is chosen for pairing. The stars on the
rim on the coins inspected yesterday
show their points closer to the edge
than on the Miss Liberty side.
