MANKIND.

Some men use the deep ministerial
tone Of voice In talking of everything
from expansion to the buttons of their
underwear.
Every woman has a vague idea that
all her husband does every day is to
open his office. read, smoke and count
his money.
Old men 60 to a great deal of trouble
dyeing their mustaches, considering
that they fool neither women nor
death.
man can forget that a woman is
homely when he meets her at a dinner
table quicker than anywhere else in
the world.
II young man takes a girl sleigh
riding he has right to demand that
she hold his hands when they get home,
to thaw them out.
Every time a girl visits at a house
the men folks are kept in a dazed con-
dition trying to figure out how she got
so many clothes into one little trunk.
After man has taken a girl to a
theatre as often as six times, and CALL
ed upon her with chocolates in his
pocket, she begins to see resemblance
in him to her favorite hero in novel.
A silk skirt makes no impression on
the men. An Atchison woman says
that when a woman rustles in going
into store she gets no more attention
from the men clerks than a woman
who doesn't rustic, but that the women
clerks are very attentive.

In Philadelphia Dewey Day, the 1st
ut., was observed by celebration in
which the city officially took part. The
expenses of the city in assisting to
honor the day were S3,1s6. OF this sum
items aggregating S2,236,46 were in
Cured by subcommittee of councils
in luncheons, dinners, cigars and re-
freshments. Another item Of $173 was
for badges for councilmen. Evidently
membership in Philadelphia councils,
especially on its celebration committees,
is heaven to the cpicureans of the city.

Bryan on "Corporations." !"

From Philadelphia City and State.
In his speech on Corporations" at
the recent st. Louis conference, Will
liam Jennings Bryan stated very con-
cisely and clearly the ground on which
the trust organizations have secured
and maintain their existence in this
country in these modern times, and how,
in his view, the great evils in this con-
nection, come everywhere to be recog
nized, can be overthrow. There
seems to be growing number Of people
on all sides OF us in the land who in
cline to believe that the trust really
can not be controlled. They are sure
that it cannot be controlled in the sense
of being put absolutely out Of existence;
that it is simply impossible, in short, to
60 back to old-time competition. They
may be nearer right in this than many
are just yet ready to acknowledge.
But one thing seems certain to every
body-namely, that something will have
to be done, and that whatever the ulti-
mate issue, this or that, the govern
ment as the first thing will haye to con-
troll the trusts. II the government,
e., the people-can not control the
trusts, then the trusts must inevitably
control the government and everybody
included in it and all interests subsist-
ing under it. Mr.. Bryan, speaking in a
general way, on this subject, says:
The government would be guilty of
gross neglect If it permitted an individ
ual to secure an monopoly even with
out legislative assistance, but it is still
more culpable if, by legislative act, it
furnishes the means by which monop-
oily is secured. The corporation is the
means now employed by those who seek
to secure monopoly. Since the cor
poration is fictitious person, created
by law, the power that creates can
regulate, restrain, or annihilate. To
say that the government Is impotent to
prevent the organization OF trusts is to
say that it has called into existence a
fictitious person, and that the fictitious
person created has become greater than
the creator.
What has proved in the past to be,
and is still, a serious weakness in our
system OF govcrnment-allowing evils
of various sorts, and often ominous, to
get, and, rather tenaciously at times, to
hold a footing among us--is sharply
pointed out as viciously operative in
this instance. Mr.. Bryan further says:
zone OF the difficulties which has been
encountered in opposing trusts is that
the trust hides behind the federal con-
stituton when attacked by state legis-
latiOn. and shields itself behind its state
charter when attacked in the federal
courts. No remedy will be complete
that is not coextensive with the federal
government. If the extinguishment Of
the trusts is left to state legislation, the
public at large will be vctimized so long
as single state will furnish a robbers
roost where the spoils collected in other
states can be divided.

FREELAND, PA, JUNE 5, 1899.
The Taxing of Poles,

The city controllers statement of
the receipts and expenditures of Halle
ton for the past year has been publish
ed. In the column OF receipts appears
an item which reads: "Pole tax,
$1,170." This is certainly a neat sum
to derive from that source, yet it does
not appear to bear heavily upon those
who pay it, or else an occasional pro-
test against its collection would be
registered.
Now if Hazleton can be reimbursed to
the extent of over eleven hundred dol
lars per year for having the appearance
of the town despoiled, why cannot Free
land derive some revenue from those
who obstruct our streets with unsightly
poles?
In theory a pole tax or any similar
tax is not to our liking. A tax upon
the value of the franchises of the cor
porations which use our streets for pri-
vate gain would be more equitable to
the community, but as it is not possible
under present laws to tax their fran
chises the next best tax to levy is one
on their poles and similar property.
The borough council few years ago
arrived at this conclusion and a lengthy
ordinance relating to taxes upon poles,
wires and other street distractions was
passed and made borough law.
For some unknown reason this law
has lain dormant, and it is about time
that it is awakened from its slumbers
and sent forth to bring in the much
needed revenue which its trainers
calculated it would draw to the local
treasury.
Decisions upholding the legality OF
this form of taxing have been affirmed
therefore no doubt of its constitution
alty need arise.
ho dlIoN
this law to sleep no longer. The towr
is under no obligations to any corpora
tion which uses and disigures tn,
streets. They come here and TAXI
what they can from the town and it
people, and there is no reason whatever
for generating them from Legitimate
assessments and taxing our citizens tt
the full limit of the law.
Other towns, as the Hazleton state
ment clearly proves, have found it tt
their interest to enforce these laws.
The tax need not be eXorbitant, mol
laid with discrimination. Let it bt
placed at fair figure, then insist upor
its payment.
If the streets are worth using, thai
privilege is worth paying for. If not
let the corporations take their poles and
60.
