Unless, therefore, | within a very few days more money is raised progress on the improvement will be stopped. Itis announced that assistance from the ceclers is not coming in as rapidly as the | | public had reason to expect. Many wheel- | had defied the alliance of | men bave given individually, but very | Europe, were few of these organizations have acted ina | public to expect better evidences of inter- | est in good roads on the part of wheel- | men’s a-sociations than have been given so far, and it is to be hoped that they will take speedy action toward raising a con- siderable portion of the money necessary to complete this grand avenus which will be of such benefit to them when opened. In addition to the wheelmen's associ tions there are many other clubs and or- ganizations in the City that ought to act- ively aid in tha work. This is a civic en- terprise in the fullest s2nse of the word, | and is one in which every citizen ought to take a sufficient interest to be willinz to help and feel a sufficient pride to make that help something of which he might be proud. We haye gone so far in this enterprise and expended so much money on it thatit would be a very poor policy to abandon itnow. The road itself and the public appreci tion of it, as shown by the number of | visitors, are all that could be desired. The workers have been faithful in their em- | ployment and have rendered a large amount of labor for low wages. The directers have been zealous and energetic in their management, and as they have served without pay they bave -et an ex- ample which every man of public spirit should feel desirous of emulating as far a3 lies in his power. The appeal that now comes for more money should, therefore, be cordially and generously responded to. We ought to have the money in the hands of the committee in time 8o that the work | may be continued without a single inter- ruption for even a day. \ | DEMOURATIO DISSENSIONS. The proceedings in the House of Repre- sentatives on Monday demonstrated that the dissensions iu tte Democratic ranks continue to be streng enough to disturb | the discipline of the party, and that the | new leader, Mr. Bailey, is altogether in- competent either to ailay them Ly tact or | todominate them by strength of character and force of will. Democracy to-day is as ‘ hopeiessly divided a: ever, and having been incompetent to carry on the Goy- | ernment 15 now showing itself impotent | even to conduct a well-ordsred opposition. | In the present case a Democratic faction | hes been started by even such an irre- spousible person as Jere Simpson of Kan- | sas. It is as if the wild colts had been | stamped by a wilder caif and were follow- ing his lead despite al! that could be done to stop them. Mr. Bailey's attitude in the matter was ludicrous. Being power- less to hold his forces together he could do no mors than stand in the House and | | scold them for breaking away. The occasion was one which might well have made an o.der, abler and more ex- perienced leader than Mr. Bailey fretful and impatient. He had induced the Democratsof the House to adopt a certain line of policy, and was carrying out that policy himseli with no little discretion. At the first opportunity, however, a con- to that policy originally broke away from: it to follow an erratic Populist, who haa apparently no policy whatever, and was | himself by attacking the Speaker. Mr. Bailey’s speech to bis bolting party had its pathetic as well as its Indicrous side. “Iam heartily sick and tired,” he said, “of exhibiting to the country the dissensions and division that unfortu- | nately exist in the Democratic party. It would seem that the minority might without friction unite on some policy. When we see our great opponent united on all great questions, sometimes against its judgment, and turn to s;e our own side hopelessly divided on a mere ques- tion of parlismentary procedure, it is pititul sight we present to the country.” Itistruly a pitiful spectacle this once great party is now presenting to the country. Incompetent alike in office and out of it, it seems incapable of rendering u service to the country of any character whatever. It has neither a policy, a dis- cipline, nor a leader by which it stands It has decomposed into a wrangling confu- sion of jealousiss, rivalries anda follies, and there seems to be no man in its ranks who is capable of reorganizing it and mak- ing it once more worthy of the name of a National party. New York is busily expiaining to the world that the weather noticed on Grant Memorial day was not of the usual New York City kind. In fact, as the Sun ex- presses it, the weather was not invited, but was drafted hurriedly in the northern part of the State and huried at the met- ropolis, A LEADER WANTED. The reports from the various corre- spondents at the seat of war are conftict- ing in many respects, but they seem agreed in one thing—that the success of the Turks has been due not more to their courage and the generalship of Edhem Pasha than to the lack of a leader in the Greek army capable of fitly opposing to the Turkish advance the valor and patriot- ista of the Greek people. It is another illustration of the wisdom of the saying of the old Greek philosopher that an army of hares led by a lion could defeat an army of lions led by a hare. Al- most every nation in the world has at some time in its history had an experi- ence of that truth. The French led by | Napoieon easily overran Germany; but | in the last war with that country, lacking a great general, they were not even able to defend their own country. The Prus- sians, who, under Frederick the Great, nearly all crushed into uiter im- potence a generation later by a single ba | body. It is certainly nottoo much for the | tle at jena, snd not until o/d Blucher rose to high command and inspired them witn confidence did they suczeed in msking a contest worthy of a great people. The British race has had similar experi- ences. An army that could take Quebec under General Wolfe dared not, when commanded by Lord Howe, assault Vailey Forge. Nor havs we been | without our lesson of the same kind. The armies which, under Pope and Buruside, could not withstand the assaults of Gen- eral Lee, advanced to a speedy and over- whelming victory under Grant, When great.crises occur in the history of nations and no right leader comes to the front to meet them the worst qualities of a race are manifest. At the present time the Greek army shows very little of the qua.ity that has made the word Spar- tan synonymous with fortitude in every language of the civilizea world. The army and the people alike now appear fickle, inconstant and irresolute. These weaknesses, however, would soon disap- vear if there should arise to the command of the army any man whois at all equal 1o the occasion and capable of leading it with a true heroism and gréat general- ship. In the possibility of finding that leader 'ies now the only hope of the Greeks, and this hope isa ‘aintone. £ofar as we can learn from the correspondents at the front there 1s nardly a3 man suffi- ceently prominent to attract the attention of the people who has in him anything to enable him 1o play the part of the savior of his counry.

A little while iater he was fortunate in selling his big string of fest horses for some three or four hundred thousand doliars. He sold st the very top of tne market, before electrical power and the bicycle had paral zed the use of the horse, and at a time when blooded steppers was the common craze of every man who could raise money emough to own them.

Gage was admitted to pro- bate by Judge Siack yesterdsy. letters of ad. minisiration belug granted to William S, Gage Jr. and Hattle Gage Mann, with ponds fixed at $206,000. l | that the corporation may engage in butch- ering in all its branches, may acquire ~ater rights and establish irrix | works, construct dams, levees, weirs, | poration, unless sach purpuse be requested LLER & LUXTO WIND UP AFFAIRS All the Property Is to Be Sold as Soon as Possible. Twelve Million Dollars’ Worth of Land Stock to Be Thrown on the Market. Wil R quire at Least a Dczan Y ars 1o Dispcse of the Vast Inter- ests Involved With a capital stock of §12,000.000 the great firm of Miller & Lux has been incor- porated, the articles for that object being filed with County Clerk Curry yesterday. The directors and incorporators of the new concern that will succeed to the in- terests of the old partnership known as the firm of Miller & Lux are Henry Mil- ler, Henry Lux, Thomas B, Bishop, J. Le- roy Nickel, Kdward T. Allen, Jesse S. Pot- ter and Azro N. Lewis. 1t is set forth in the articles of incorpor- ation that the incorporators have, to start with, subscrited for two shares each, the shares having a par value of $100. Their subsequent holdings of stuck in the cor- poration wili be subject to the arrange- ments that are entered into when turning over the property of the firm to the cor- poration, the final disposal of which is de- clared to be the prime purpose of the new organization, This property consists of cattle on several thousand hills, as well as the hiils themselves, and extends irom Oregon to Texas. 1n addition to carrying on a general stock-raising business and dealing in cat- tle, hogs and sheep, the articles provide canalsand all such appliances; may lo- cate and lay out townsites and sell lots in quaniities 1o suit purchasers or the con- vVenience of the corporation. All these things are to be done with the sim in view of gradually seiling off the property, which is to be done *‘as speedily as in the judgmentof & majority of the board of directors of the corporation such disposition can fairly and advantageously be effected, and to divide the proceeds thereof among the stockholders, Ther~ is a provision in the articles that tpending such disposition of said prop- erty, und solely for the purpose of avoid- ing depreciation in the value of said prop- erty and a consequent loss, and subsidiary to said main purpose, the directors are empowered to carry on the business of the late Miller & Lux partnership.” Strict limitations to the powers of the dir.c.ors are provided in the articles of incorporation 10 compel the winding up of the saffairs of the corporation. Ail stock issued shall be deemed to be fully paid up, and no assessment shail be levied thereon except by unanimous vote and consent of all the directors, and no yote shall be taken on this subject while there is a vacancy in the board of directors or whenall the membersof the board are not personally present. The cor poration is not permitted to pur- chase any real property or increase the personal property of the corporation above the aggregate amount on hand at the time of the transfer of said propert, from the firm of Miller & Lux to the cor- in writing by the hoiders of at least four- fitths of the issued capital stock, and no vote on that question shall be tuken at any time when there is a vacancy in the board or when all the directors are not personsily present. Similarly stringent rules are laid down to compel the immediate distribution of vrofits of the business and proceeds of sale of the property owned or to be owned by the corporation, and the directors are not aliowed to keep on hand miore than $50,000 to meet the future expenses of business. No director shall be competent to vote on thege questions unless he be a director elected by the stockholders at the regular annual nieeting and no amendment to the articles of incorporation shali be bad in these matters except by unanimous vote of the dirsctors as provided 1n regard to the other affairs mentioned, and by the vote or written consent of stockholaers representing at least four-fifths of the cap- ital stock of the corporation. One cause of complaint on the part of the Lux interests in the Miller & Lux busi- ness has been that Henry Miller, the sur- viving partner, persisted in extending the limits of the partnership, thus absorbing the profits instead of paying cash divi- dends 10 the representatives of his late partner. It was generally acknowledged that his investments were wise and that ult'mately they would be remunerative to the firm, but those Tepresenting the Lux interests desired a contraction rather than an extension of the firm’s affairs. After some litigation a compromise was reached resulting in the organization of the corporation mentioned here. It is be- lieved t.at it will take neariy a dozen years to wina up the affa:rs of this great company. which is probabiy the largest concern of the kind in the United States and probavly as large as any in the world.
