Walton on CornoratIons.

Take the matter of corporations, as
another example. They have always
been dangerous to the body polite. A
wise Roman Emperor has to abolish
them because their mighty influence
threatened to erect within the state a
power greater than the State. Queen
Elizabeth of England also had to abol-
ish them for the same reasons.
At this time it is not too extravagant
to say that corporations are the ruling
power of our government They make
and unmake laws; defeat or elect
rulers; nominate and control judges;
dictate our foreign and domestic poll
cies; levy and disburse taxes, and AFRO
gantly govern the output of every field
of industry.
They have completely changed tho
nature of our government. Its form
is the same as over, but the spirit is no
longer that of democracy. The corpo-
rations have introduced among us the
evils of European class-rule, unaccom-
panied by the sense of responsibility
and that pride of patriotism which, to
some extent, redeems the class-rule OF
the Old World.

Following SO closely upon the re.
markable address of Gov. Athgeld at
Philadelphia, and coming from one so
radically opposed to that gentleman
politically, the remarks of ex-Congress-
man Robert La Toilette of Madison,
Wis, delivered before 1000 people at
the Wisconsin state fair, Milwaukee,
the other day, are noteworthy of indi-
eating the widespread sentiment which
is growing up in opposition to corpo-
rate control of private, public and gov
ernmental affairs. We quote from his
address: "What Is it then, that Is
swelling the ranks of the dissatisaedP
Is is not the growing conviction in
state after state that we are fast be-
coming dominated by forces that
thwart the will Of the people and me-
mace the representative government
From the control of great manufactur-
ing plants to the running of bargain
counters from the operation of rail-
ways to the conduct of cheese factor
les, and from the management Of each
of these singly to the consolidation OF
many into one of gigantic proportions,
the corporation has practically &C
quired dominion over the business
world. The effect Of this change upon
the American people is radical and
rapid. The individual is fast disap-
pearing as business factor and in his
stead is the new device, the modern
corporation. These corporations, not
content with taking royal tribute
daily from the private citizen, shift
upon him the chief support Of the gov
eminent. The same disregard of the
rights of others and of all obligations
to the state is shown In determined
resistance to bearing just share OF
the burdens of taxation. While this Is
coming to be somewhat understood.
yet q rigid investigation of this whole
subject Of the evasion Of taxation by
corporations and the possessors OF
great wealth in every state would
awaken the just wrath OF the people
and inaugurate reform that might
reach even the machine-made legisla'
lures of the day"

The Democratic Leader's First Appear
auce on the Gridiron.
COLUMBIA (Mo.), November 3D.
William ]. Bryan appeared in Colum-
bia today in an entirely new role. Mr..
Bryan participated in his first game Of
football. Clad in striped old gold
and black sweater, the erstwhile Pre-
sidential candidate appeared on the
athletic field Of the Missouri Univer-
sity and took part in the game. It
was a practice game between the
varsity and alumni teams, and Mr..
Bryan had been pursuaded to go to
the field by the college boys. Once
on the field it was suggested that the
distinguished guest take part In the
game
At the solicitation of Captain Hill
and Coach Young Mr.. Bryan consented
to kick of for the alumni. Captain
Hill offered the Nebraskan his sweater,
which was pulled on, and amid deaf-
ening college yell Mr.. Bryan strode
out on the field. The ball was placed
in position, and after few rehearsals
Mr.. Bryan planted his toe fairly and
equally under the sphere and the ball
went sailing down the field for forty
yards. Mr.. Bryan retired to the side
lines and watched the scrimmage, con-
tinuing to wear the sweater during the
game.

and following editions. The rain came
and so quickly was it dashed from
what had been clear dome and from
so small cloud that the thing seemed
miracle 1t was a local downpour
such as the country had not seen for
quarter of a century. Considerable
damage was done to railway, state and
county properties. Such was the sur
prise, the enthusiasm, the astonish-
ment, that even those who doubted
were forced to fall in with the null
titude and either remain silent or ad-
nit that the man had made rain. 1t
was the coincidence of an age.
Nothing like this happened for Mel
bourne or his associates or imitators
again. Col. Rainwater Jones organized
stock company, published a pamphlet
of testimonials and rates, and made
contracts to moisten miles upon miles
of territory at so much per acre, so
much rainfall being guaranteed. The
terms were good and patronage was
plentiful Melbourne was followed by
the newspaper boys for couple of un-
successful experiments and then
dropped as being too stale for the
lOut page VI duS OlucT page. Dul
meantime the space writer's had made
good thing out Of him and all felt
kindly towards him. Down in Nebraska
once, and again in Colorado the
ranchers threatened to do him violence
for failure to make rain. There was
no call for anything of this sort, be-
cause Melbourne did not ask for ad-
vance money. He became more moody
and less communicative and finally
dropped out of sight. He was the SEN
sation of that year. His picture was
in every illustrated paper, and in the
magazines. The Government sent a
man to look after him.
Of the two valises, one probably
contained clothing. The other he said
had his chemicals and apparatus. One
of the correspondents offered for the
sum of $3.50 to deliver Melbourne's S
valises at the office of distant metro
politan paper, but the rascally enter
prise was not undertaken. Melbourne
may have been a .trifle unbalanced
mentally, but if SO he was thoroughly
honest about it. He had satisfied him
self of the theory that the United
States has since officially accepted
that precipitation could be caused
and he believed that clouds could be
created and then handled. He bought
chemicals at drug stores 1t was with
some of these chemicals that he cheat
ed Daddy lime.

Avoids Unffiendly Attitude To-
ward United States.
new YORK sun so ANNOUNCES
Nicaragua Project Cited. Enaland's
Bimetallists Do Not
Agree.

NEW YORK, November 21.-The
New York Sun will announce edito-
rally tomorrow, on what it claims
is conclusive authority, that Japan
has given ample evidence to this Gov
ernment that it has no designs on
the Nicaragua canal An interview
between Toru HOshi, while Minister
of Japan at Washington, with Mr.
Rodriguez, representative of the
Greater Republic of Central America
plainly showed the determination OF
Japan to maintain cordial relations
with the United States and to reject
any overtures, the acceptance of which
might tend to place her in an unfriend-
ly attitude toward this country.
The Sun editorially gives details of
the meeting of these Ministers. Min
lister Rodriguez, it says, proposed that
Japan should guarantee to Nicaragua
sovereignty over the canal as well as
it's neutrality when open to commerce.
This proposal was referred to the To-
kyo Government, which rejected the
special guarantee offer, but said it had
no objection to joining other maritime
nations having relations with Nicara-
qua in call reasonable and proper
measures for the preservation of the
of Tho
eff this says the Sun, "had been
the only message received at the time
from Tokyo it might have. been in
ferred that Japan was willing to COM
bine with England and other Euro
pean nations in joint guarantee OF
the neutrality of the canal, instead
of deferring to the known wish OF
the United States that the waterway
should be under the special and sole
guarantee of this country. AS mat
ter of fact, however, simultaneously
with the dispatch of instructions con-
cerning the reply to be made to Ro-
driguez. Hoshi was directed to commu-
nicate with our Secretary of State for
the purpose of ascertaining whether
participation in such general guar
antee would be agreeable to the Gov
ernment of the United States. This
Hoshi Immediately did, explicitly and
frankly.
There the matter rests, Rodriguez
having gone home, and meanwhile
even the commercial treaty projected
between Japan and the Greater Repub-
lie of Central American remains incom-
pleted. For purely commercial reasons
Japan, not unnaturally, desires to OBJ
tain such a treaty, but she has con-
vinced our State Department that she
has no intention of participating in
any undertaking even remotely or in
directly hostile to the interests Of the
United States in Nicaragua or else
where"

DISCRIMINATING CLAUSE.

1t VIII Probably Soon Get Into the
Courts.
WASHINGTON, November 22-It is
not improbable that the questions in
volved in discriminating section % Of
the new tariff act will be brought to
the courts for final determination.
Information has reached the Treas
ury Department that during the pen
dency of the question before the At
torney-General the Collectors at a
number of ports assessed the 10 per
cent. discriminating duty on transit
goods from Canada under Consular
seal as well as upon goods produced
in Canada. One of these invoices, it is
understood, was for considerable
quantity of china which arrived at
Sault Ste Marie, Mich, from Dresden
under Consular seal.
An appeal in this case, it is said
already has been taken to the Board
of General Appraisers at New York
This Board, under the law, is not
bound by the opinions of the Attorney
General or those of the Secretary OF
| the Treasury, the courts alone having
authority to review its findings. In
case of a decision by the Board assess
ing the discriminating duty it is al
most certain that the importers will
| take an appeal. but should they fail
| to do so it is not likely that the Gov
ernment would take such action. The
question. therefore, whether the case
