Howells on Plutocrat1c Tendencies.


The question that remains is. How
far has business characterized our poll
tics? Has business come into control of
the Government, or is the government
still in the hands Of the
people? Do parties or persons bride
voters in New Hamphire or New York?
Do firms or corporations corrupt legs-
latures2 Have United States Senators
bought seats inthe most august assembly
in the world? Have large contributors
to election funds received high Office
from the executive? Have contractors
even tempted aldermen, and have the
bosses behind the thrones found their
account in tacitly growing rich in a
private station? I affirm none of these
things, and until I have found some
journalist who admits the guilt of his
own party while accusing his esteemed
contemporaries, or some boss who con-
fesses that he is not so poor as his af11u-
ence makes him appear, I do not think it
would be safe to do so. The proof in
all snch cases has as little weight with
the impartial mind as the overwhelming
evidence, say, that there are vcrdical
phantoms. Still, it must be owned that
there are vast numbers of people who
believe that these things are so; not so
vast as the number that believe in ghosts
but a majority of the Americans so great
that their vote would not leave a single
elector to the partjsans of an opposite
theory in a presidential. election. 1t is
hard to believe that there is no truth in
them, just as it IS hard to believe that
the spirits of the departed have not upon
some emergent occasions revisited the
earth. can account for their accept
a4ce by supposing that the minds Of the
whole people have been poisoned by
bad men, who have instilled into them
a suspicion ofguilt in others which every
American knows himself personally
incapable of. Or is there here and there
an American who secretly, and quite
within the Businesses of his heart, realizes
that being perplexed and wrought upon
in the extreme, he would give or take
bride? Or, if not quite that, is there
some American who is conscious that, as
d matter of business merely, he might
apply business principles to politics?
We all know how very common business
are with US, ard the thing is
not so wholly impossible. We need not
inquire very nicely what business men
will do or what other business men will not
40; but if the popular notion that bus
mess is business be correct, and if in
this sense business is thing not wholly
ndistinct from righteousness, it can be
EASILY seen that the passage from an axi-
ON to an action need traverse no great
moral space. If we once admit that bu-
'iness principles have been applied in
procuring statutes, decisions. contracts,
and appointments, as most Americans
believe, then it might certainly be said
that we have a plutocracy, and not al
smOcracy.-From care we a Plutocra-

not be punished for her negligence, as It
had been enforced by ill-health. He
said the supplementary proceedings did
not involve her otherwise thai as a wit
ness.
Mrs. Lederer, an exceedingly pretty
young woman, with dark gray eyes,
shaded by long brown lashes,. her pump
figure neatly arrayed In a tight-iitting
dark-colored dress. seemed entirely, re
covered from the severe Illness which
caused her absence from the previous
hearings.
Mrs. Lederer testified that the furni-
ture in the apartments occupied by her
and MIR. Lederer prior to September,
1893, belonged to her; that, 1t had been
given to her by her husband shortly
The furniture had evidently been neg,

some of 1t had been burned, some stolen
and some remains in the apart
ments still occupied by her husband

give you an interest in any of his the
atrical enterprises, or have you an inter-
est in any of them?' she was asked.
YES"
when did you acquire such INTEREST,""

Mrs. Lederer stated that she entered
into a co-partnership with Canary, and
had furnished the money for that. pur.
pose: neither had her husband assigned
her any part of his interest In the part
nership.
Mrs. Lederer could not swear that her
husband had any interest with Mr.. Can
AIRY prior to September, 1893,
"Mr. Lederer did not give me, the
with Mr.. Canary and / have not assigned
nor given him any money or profits out
of the partnership" said Mrs. Lederer.
She denied that she had made an as.
signment to Mr.. Lederer's mother, and
said that the last time her husband ave
or assigned any property to her was In
September last.
At this point the attorneys locked
horns over an objection to n question de-
signed to show that Mr.. Lederer had re-
ceived property from his wife since Nov,
3 of last year. There was no referee
present, and about every fifteen minutes
an adjournment was taken to Judge
Fitzsimons's room to settle a point OF
law.
1t finally developed that all Mrs. Led.
erer now has in return for the money in.
vested with Canary & Lederer Is an
interest in the play "~Incog." The hear
ing was adjourned.
