An interesting method of map-mak- ing is followed by the English Ordnance Survey at it's headquarters at south- ampton. The trigonometrical survey of England has been finished for some time, but typographical work is ton- stantly being carried on, and an effort is made to cover the whole kingdom once in twenty years with new map, on the scale of 1-2500, and once in fif- teen wears with one on a scale of 1-10000 The latter is made by using a blue print of the larger map, and tracing as much If the detail as it is desired to retain. This is photographed, everything blue on the original sheet being, of course, left out, and then reproduced by spe cia1 nrocess. The ordnance office in England distributes over 3,00O,000 maps annually. over twice as many as the total number published by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey since it's foundation

If thefts are committed by men sent by an employer to the premises of a customer, there to do work is the en- rloyer responsible? A London court held that if the employer had used due diligence and prudence in hiring his Workmen, he was not responsible for their dishonesty. On the other hand, If he had carelessly sent a man of thievish propensities, he would have customer.

Another improvement in cotton bales is receiving much attention as decid- edly ingenious though simple device with peculiar adaptations to it's pur- pose, the machine being so constructed as to enable it to be placed at the gin, the cotton passing from that to the machine, the bale being, therefore compressed at the initial point of ship
 ment and the cost of hauling uncom- nressed cotton is thus avoided. The machine consists of cylinder which

N A woman shoplifter was caught steal- ing an umbrella the other day in a Philadelphia dry goods store. But it was decided not to prosecute her if she would pay for the umbrella, valued at $2.50, which she did The next day she returned and requested to see the man. ager. When that surprised person could recover himself sufficiently to ask her business the woman calmly told him that she had been pricing umbrellas in other stores and found she could pur- chase one like her own for $2, and she wanted to know if he wouldn't refund her 50 cents As tribute to her mon- umental nerve the 50 cents was handed her in silence.

LITTLE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.
He contended that much OF the opposi-

Mr.. Cochran spoke earnestly in support
OF trades unions. predicting that the time
would come when employers would urge

for the discussion OF perplexing problems

QUESTION OF CONSTITUTIONALlTf.
Now. 1 am not sure the remedy l pro-
pose is Institutional. i am not sure
that the Constitution would prohibit such
an act of Congress as l suggest. suppose
Congress should say that whenever cor
poration wanted to DO business outside
Of the state II must apply TO and receive
from somebody created by Congress for
the purpose a license 10 do business
Suppose the law should provide the fol-
lowing conditions on which the license
should be issued: First, that the evidence
shall show that there is no water in the
stock; second, that the evidence shall
show that the corporation has not in the
past and is not attempting now 10 mo-
nopolize any branch of industry or a
branch of any article OF merchandise;
and. third. providing for that publicity
which everybody has spoken OF, and
about which everybody agrees.
Suppose that is done. Who Is here to
say that such a law would be unconstitu-
tiOnalI suppose the law II ASiu "AAN'H-
stitutional. Then we can amend the Con-
stitution. The gentleman suggest that IL
IS a difficult thing to get two-thirds OF
the two houses TO favor an amendment,
and three-fourths OF the States. That is
true. fl is a difficult thing, but il the peo-
ple want TO destroy the trusts, You can
get two-thirds of both houses and three
fourths Of the States. But what Is the
alternative? Sit down and do nothing?
Allow them to trample upon you and ride
rough-shod over you, and then thank
God that you still have some life left? Is
that the only remedy?

therefore, it should be permitted to go
into the field of another cOrpOratin and
undersell it until il bankrupts il, raising
the money by charging higher prices
somewhere else. 1 don't think it is ne
cessary for US to do that. 1 have only

best plan. II you have anything better

that you can think Of that will improve

anything.
CONTROL OF ELECTIONS.
Let me suggest one other thing that
| believe will be a step in the right d.
rection. The great trouble has been that
while our platforms denounce corpora
lions. corporations control the elections,
and place under obligations 10 them the
men who are elected to enforce the laws.
(Applause) Let me propose rem
edy-nOt a remedy, but a step, l think,
in the right direction. Let the law,
State ana national, make it a penal Of
fence for any corporation to contribute
to the campaign fund Of any political
party Continued cheers and applause)
Nebraska has such a law, passed two
years ago. Tennessee has such a law,
passed two years ago. such law was
passed. or was introduced, in the State OF
New York, but so far it has not reached
the stage OF actual law in the State OF
New York Q.aughter) Now, / believe
that is a step in the right direction.
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
"You remember the testimony taken be-
fore a Senate committee some time ago,
when the head OF the sugar Trust tesu-
fed that the Sugar Trust made II lis
business to contribute to campaign funds,
and when asked to which one IL contri-
buted. replied that it depended upon cir-
cumstances.

at the books; that is a doubtful state.

that is almost literal reproduction OF
the testimony OF one great corporation
on the subject OF campaign contributions.

will be a complete one. but ] believe that

my plan was this:
81 That the State should have the

"2. That the state has. or should have
the right, to impose such limita-
tions upon an outside cOrpofal'n

restrictions as Congress may think ne
cessary upon any corporation which does
business outside OF the State In which II
is organized. In other words, l would
