There was almost as big a crowd down to the river steamers on Spear street for the North American Transportation Com- pany, the Union Iron Works are com- pleting a steamer, the Senator, for the Pacific.Coast Steamship Company and the St. Paul for the Alaska Commercial Company, while the Fulton will be called upon in a week or so to put the | engines in the Dirigo, the fine new ves- | sel now being completed for Kimball & Co. These latter vessels are for the St. Michael trade and all of them will be ready for business next March. All the river boats will be sent in sec- tions to either St. Michael or Dutch Harbor. The North American Trans- portation Company’s fleet will go on a sailing vessel and the chances are that the latter will be towed to Dutch Har- bor, where the steamers are to be put together. They will then proceed to St. Michael under their own steam. Many of the river steamers are to be fitted with the Babcock & Wilcox water- tube boilers, one of which is now on Folsom-street wharf awaiting the ar- rival of the Dirigo. It came from the East and is the first of its kind to be put into a steamer on this coast. The Risdon is building a _number of them on the Heine plan and when completed they will be shipped to St. Michael. | The new hoilers are much lighter than | the old, they can stand a pressure of | 200 pounds to the square inch and steam n be got on them in a very short space of time.

Continuing, the court calls attention to the fact that experience taught that if bonds are payable In currency of a The rate id bonds will fluctuating value they are less nego- | tiable than if the lender or investor knows of the precise kind of money |1n which he will be paid. The strong- est point presented is in the following language: In theabsenceofany limitation upon th mode of pavment they would be payabl in any lawful money of the United Stat and as provision in the bonds giving to the municipality the aiternative of p ing them in gold coin 1l mon. of the United State create no obligation upon it to make the payment In gold coin, it follows that the “lawful money” in ‘which they would be paid would be that kind which the municipali- ty would elect at thelr maturity, and con- | sequently the kind which at that date would have the least valuye. It cannot be held that the words “Shall be pa ble in_gold coin or lawful money of the United States” were inserted in the statute merely for the purpose of declare ing that the municipality should have the option at the maturity of the bonds to pay them in gold coin, or in lawful money, since it necded no legislative dee- laration to give it that option. * * * The requirement in the statute that the bonds shall be sold “at not less than their face value In gold coin of the United States” would prevent the of a single bond whose payment at ma- turity could be made at th W of option the maker in such currency as it might then elect, and thus the very (rhjpclznf the statute would be destroyed. The recognized standard of value In State is gold coin, and kind money which has authorized to be sale of the bonds. The second proposition refates to the validity of the election, and the Su. preme Court comes to the support of the city ordinance in the following strong language, first quoting the cap- tion at the head of the tickets: Each voter shall indicate h sh by writing, or causing to be writtey b printed, “yes” or “no” on the right hamd margin of his ticket, opposite the proposi. tion on which he may desire to vote. In the absence of any direction, the mannes in which the voter is to indicate his wish may be immater 80 long as his wish can be ascertained: but when the moss indication has been prescribed by authority of law the form smes a matter of substance, and “not authorized tosay thafitm: and that the wish of th determined by conjecture. statute requirgs tf datory. * * * The notice which printed upon the tickets that wern wrey by the voters “to vote for or against a proposition, stamp an ‘X' in_the square Legislature recelved upon ¥ be v Whatever the the voter no right to disregard the man- CASTORIA For Infants and Children, the best t vriting papers made.
