The principal occupation of the shah
of Persia seems to be granting and
revoking constitutions to his people.
His latest performance is revocation
of liberal government. But, all the
same. constitutionalism is gaining
ground in Persia as we'll as elsewhere,
and the shah should keep his head
and fall in line with an august pro-
cession which includes even the con-
servative sultan of Turkey.

Of the United States the fact that
there is more than $1OO,OOO,OO0 in Ca

better on this side of the border.

justices and constables, was amended

just under the 1900 limit.

prepared by Judge McxIenry was
sprung in the house by Representa-

The Hickenlooper bill is not a radi-

board of supervisors to select the
names for the jury lists. The bill
provides that the supervisors shall Sc

time OF selection shall be when order

Henry bill claim that the latter
measure applies only to cities of over
$4,000, and hence would not affect
the counties, which Hickeploeper
hopes to affect.

THE SILVER STATE DISCARDS
ITS ALIAS

The Silver State was established in
1869. and for more than 80 years was
known by that name. Some two or
three years ago the lessees of the paper
and plant saw fit to add the word
News to the title, thereby making it
The Silver Safe News.
On August LIST of last year the paper
reverted to its owners, and their in
structions to the manager were TO drop
the word News and leave the title in
its original form-The Silver State.
At that time it was considered i'm
practicable to do this, owing to the
probability of complications arising
over the publication of legal adver-
tisements. This week, for the first
time in thirteen months, these legal
notices have all expired, and the op-
portunity is taken to re-christen the
sheet.
So long as the Journal remains in the
possession Of its present owners it will
be known as The Silver State.

BITTER CONTROVERSY CERTAIN

The news that DIR. Cook had reached

April of last year.
The credit of having first discover
ed the pole will probably always re-
main in doubt, and that a bitter fight
will follow, which will involve the
scientists, and in a measure the Jews

PASSING OF e. H. HARTMAN

The death of E. H. Hartman, which
occurred at his home in the state of
New York Thursday, removes the sec
ond of three Americans celebrated the
world over for their genius as rail
road builders.
Jay Gould was the first American to
attain distinction in this branch of in
dustry, and James J. Hill is the only
living member of tibet triumvirate.
Of the three men Hartman was
probably the most popular personally.
Being possessed of democratic tenden-
cies, he was equally at home in com
pany of one of his railway presidents
or a section foreman.
At this writing it is not thought that
Mr.. Harriman's death will have any
injurious effect on the stock market or
other business interests.

HEPBURN ACT DE.
FECTIVE
Especial to Silver State.l

Especial to Sllver State.)
SPOKANE, Sept. 1l.-Frank H. Me-
Cune, rate expert, who was the princi-
pal witness for the people of Spokane
in their fight before the interstate
commission against the
transcontinental railroads for equi-
table freight rates, has prepared a
statement, in which he shows a vital
defect in the Hepburn act to regulate
commerce, under which, he declares,
it is utterly impossible for any ship
per in the United States to obtain re-
lief from losses through misquotation
in rates by railroad companies.
Mr.. McCune urges the people of the
country to support the Trans Missis-
sippi Commercial congress in its eff
forts to secure the ADDITION by the
United States congress of an amend
ment to protect the shippers, as recon
mended by the irst-named organization
at it's annual meeting in Denver, two
weeks ago. He says:
"Three years have elapsed since the
passage of the Hepburn amendment to
the act to regulate commerce, and
shippers are now awakening to the fact
that the railroads are protected from
their own acts in making misguota-
tion in freight rates either wilfully to
secure shipments using the rates quot
ed to the railroads in making delivered
prices or buying goods on the basis of
rates furnished to them by the ear
riers.
"Though bankruptcy ensues, a ship
per is denied relief under the law, for
the reason that he is charged by the
law to know what the legal rate is.
On the other hand, the law compels
the railroad to recover by civil action
any sum that is less than the lawful
