Proudhon at Albany.

The reasons adduced by the supporters of

cussion of it in the State Senate last week
were worthy of Il Socialist Ionvention. In
deed, they are such as are common In that
parliament of all the talents, the Central
Labor union of this town.

more a Republican senator in good and
regular standing from the Oneida Rcserva-
tion, said that the measure was in the

CLARENCE LExow, the greatest little
statesman ever domesticated In Nyack,
"contended that large estates should pay
a big "a for the protection the laws of the
State Afford" Senator CANTOR remarked
appositely that Mr.. LExow's speech was
as "good as any Popocratic speech in the
last campaign" This talk about pay
ing a big tax for the protection of
the laws is, in. fact, exactly the

The Hon. RICHARD FRANKLIN PETIT
GREW, Senator in Congress from South Da-

made an enduring name for himself and
more than atoned for his political and inan.
cial wabblings of last year.. With his W
hand and voice he introduced into the SEN
ate u bill providing for the establishing of
forty additional executive departments of
the Government. 1t is u bill worthy of the
Hon. HENRY WILLIAM BLAIR of Now Hamp.
shire in his most productive intellectual
period worthy, indeed, of that great mys-
FERROUS law making trust, the Wage Work

Originality, power, and genius bristle in

executive departments must shrink into
nothingness henceforth. What is a petty

Corporations and Employees.

II the Illinois Senate concurs with the
House of Representatives, this interesting
constitutional amendment will be SUB
mitted to the people OF that State at the
general election in November, 1888:
.Tbe General Assembly shall have power. and It
.baIl be ito duty, to enact and provide for the enforce
ment Of aliiaws that It shall deem necessary to resu'
iato and control contracts, conditions and relations
existing or arising from time totime between corpo-
rations and their employees"
This is comprehensive enough to suit the
s~ternest foe of corporations. 1t would put
into the hands of the Illinois Legislature a
virtually unconditional power over the
business relations of all corporations with
their employees.
Both the Republicans and the Democrats
of Illinois have committed themselves by
their party platforms to the
There were only two votes against it in the
House last week. 1t was submitted to tho
people and beaten in 1894, utnany things
have happened since: Organism, the blind
unreasoning war against wealth and thrift,
the crazy running amuck against corpora
lions, the dance and patter of a thousand
takers in and out Of Congress and the State
Legislatures. In 1894, this proposed
amendment may have appeared prepos-
ferrous. In 1897 it may seem rather tame
and conservative. But now the theory is
that corporations have no rights and Legis-
latures lave all wisdom.

Thu most notable of the international ex-
positions of the present year are two in
number, one of them at the capital of the
State of Tennessee and the other at the
capital of the kingdom of Belgium, the for.
mer to be opened on Saturday of next
week, and the latter on Saturday of this
week. The exposition Mt Nashville and
also that at Brussels will be held open for
n period of six months. During the year
there are to be numerous expeditions of a
lesser character in Europe, the United
States, and Spanish America.
1t can be said, before the opening of the
Tennessee Centennial Exposition, that it
will surely be a grand affair. The grounds
upon which the buildings have been erected
are exceedingly picturesque, and the arts of
the landscape gardener nave been exercised
upon them with very fine effect, as we can
testify after an examination of the photo
graphs of them. No exposition ever held has
had so beautiful a setting Us that at Nashville
will have. The buildings are well designed
and appropriate, and we can speak highly
of some of the works of classical architec-
ture that have been reproduced. The ex-
hibits, most of which are already in place,

human interest" and do so in a manner
which, we think, will be satisfactory to in
telligent observers. There is reason to be-
licve that the Nashville exposition will be
n success, and that multitudes of visitors
will be drawn thither.
We recently received from the Consul of
Belgium at this port a mass of drawings
and official documents relative to the Brus-
sells exposition, and some OF the statements
there made are printed In another part Of
The sun. We doubt whether a more COM
prehcnsive or more stylish exposition than
that which is about to be opened at Bel.
GUMS capital has ever been held In any
c~ountr, of Europe. There has had to be
economy in the expenditure of the small
appropriation made by Congress for an
American exhibit at Brussels, but we guess
that the industries and the products of this
country will be represented there In a re-
spectacle manner.
We think that a summer jaunt to Nash
vile would be pleasant and instructive.
For those who cross the sea, a trip to Brus-
sells this year would be even more interest
ing than usual, unless, indeed, there should
be a general European war, in which event
the Belgian International Exposition would
probably be ruined.

The Panama Scandals Reopened.

1t seems to be settled that the present
French Ministry will not bargain with
ARToN and the other manipulators of the
Panama corruption fund, but have deter
mined to force them to confess what they
did with the money. The conduct of the
prosecution has been committed to an en-
ergetic and memorable magistrate, and the
Chamber of Deputies show nc disposition
to protect its tainted members. The report
Is current in Paris that the result of the
investigation will be to prove that at least
twenty-five legislators were bribed with
cash to vote for the last three loans, raised
for the ostensible purpose Of completing
the Panama Canal. The convicted persons
will undoubtedly be dealt with vigorously.
and even those who escape imprisonment
by flying to a foreign country will have to
face a lifelong exile.
No pity will be wasted on any one of the
Senators and Deputies condemned for bribe-
taking In connection with an enterprise
which has cost the small investors in
France some $3.50, OOO, 900. But how will
the exposure of Legislative corruption affect
the existing republican regimei That it
may damage the republic has been feared by
Jill ioiiNo LIN " loC IIlth, VIZ CGhll hO"
signally the overthrow of the monarchy of
LOUIS PHILIPPE was furthered by the dis
covery of official peculation in high places.
On the whole, however, it appears more
probable that the masses of the electors
will say that, while Legislative corruption
has existed under every form of pol
ity, it is only by a republican gov
eminent that it is ruthlessly punished.
This, at all events, will be the probable
drift of public sentiment, provided the ex.
posure of fraud is confined to the Panama
Canal Company and to other private inan-
cial undertakings. Very different would be
the effect of the detection of widespread
corruption on the part of army and navy
contractors. There is in we'll Informed
quarters a suspicion that such corruption
exists, and that a new wal might lay bare
the same fatal deficiencies in respect of in
dispensable supplies which ruined the
Second Empire. 1t Is, of course, for the in.
terest Of France, as a nation, that frauds Of
this kind, IL they have been committed,
should be brought to light betimes,
and 1t may happen at any hour that in
eliminating evidence against army and
navy contractors may fall under the eyes of
an unflinching magistrate, who prefers the
welfare of his country to the stability of a
particular polity.
OF one thing, however, we may be sure,
that, II the French people are once con-
WINGED that the enormous sums allotted for
military and naval purposes have been to
a considerable extent Incorporated,
they will quickly demolish the republican
regime, for In u a case the regular
army would be with them to q man.
