TRUSTS AND NEW JERSEY.
Witnesses Tell Industrial Commits
sion of States Corporation Laws,

WASHINGTON, Oct 1S-There were
six witnesses before the Industrial com
mission today, the first on the list being
MI. lanes 3. Dill, a New York attorney.
who was presented as ar expert on the
corporation laws Of New Jersey. Mr..
Dill said that If the corporation laws of
the state were enforced, tramp corpora
tons would find it impossible to exist
there. The laws, In his opinion, were
not only just and fair In their require
ments, both to the corporations and the
public, but they provided heavy penalties
for their violation. But while all this
was true, Mr.. Dill said he feared that
the laws had been more honored In the
breach than in the Observance. He also
thought that many of the corporations
were organized at much too high a fig
ure.
Mr.. Dill gave several reasons for New
Jersey s popularity with the corporations
Us an organizing state. The first of these
was found in the fact that the state has
a financial surplus, rendering 1t improba-
bic that the corporations will be drawn
upon in case Of a. squeeze, 10 make up a
deficit. Another reason for this popular
1ty was because the corporation laws have
practically remained unchanged for the
past thirty years, and a third the fact
that the taxes in New Jersey are fixed
and inmovable. He thought the time
would come when corporations would be
controlled by national law.
The other five witnesses dealt with the
practical operation Of the New Jersey
laws. Four of these witnesses were rep
resentatives of the corporation trust com
panies Of the state, who make a business
of representing in the state for transfer
purposes the corporations organized
there. They were: H. K. Wood, of Jer-
sey City. assistant secretary Of the Cor
poration Trust of New Jersey: Frank
Hansel, of Camden. secretary of the New
Jersey GunraEtee Trust company; James
Warwick the New York representative
of the New Jersey Corporal ton Trust
company, and j. S. Garvin, assistant sec
rotary Of the New Jersey Registration
and Trust company. All of these wit
nesses stated that the companies which
they represent Kept their tariff books and
stock ledgers with them; that these were
balanced daily. and that the names of
stockholders were always given to in
quirers, provided the identity Of the in
quiTerS as stockholders was established
beyond peradventure. All Of them agreed
to supply lists of the companies repre-
sente1 by them, the number aggTegating
about 1,450, with an aggregate capital Of
about s., 800 900, 600.

Annual Report Shows a Most Graft
flying Years Work.

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 1S-The jubilee
missionary conventions of the Christian
church, which began last Thursday,
reached their climax today when the
Christian Missionary society continued its
sessions in sections. There are over 49,
900 visitors, and many from this city and
vicinity. Music hall, with seating ca
pacity of over $500, Is unable to accom-
modate the audiences, and other halls and
churches are used for the overflow meet
fngs The Odeon hall was used for the
business session, with DR.. w. F. Richard
son presiding. Reports were heard from
all the committees on different branches
of the work
At the main meeting, in Music hall, DR..

f. Richardson was on Our Ju-
bilee and our Plea Addresses of
F. D. Power ON Our Cities for
Christ, and Of A H. Haggard on State
Missions to the Front" were followed by
general discussions. In celebrating the
hour of Thanksgiving for reaching the
slOO,o0O the past year for home missions,
Z. b. Newman made the leading address.
Corresponding Secretary Benjamin L.
Smith read his annual report, from which
the following was taken:

state organizations auxiliary to the gen.
eral society, and these report 295158 ad-
dltions to the church under their direc-
ton"
The report shows that the last year was
the most prosperous Of all. Two new mis-
slonary churches have been organized
every week, and 6,046 persons have been
received into the various missionary
churches. The board is maintaining mis-
sions in thirty-six different states, and
has entered upon the work Of city

necessary to the organization and hold
ing of such receptions.
1t was the presence Of the president of
the United States that was sought. not
the presence of the partisan politician
who at present occupies that exalted sta
ton. 1t was the chief magistrate of the
United States that the people sought to
welcome not the individual head Of an
imperialist administration, struggling to
overcome the effect upon his political for
which has been made against the conduct
of that administration.
1t was not unreasonable to believe that
Mr.. Mckinley was q man of sufficient
good taste and public and private dis
cernment to distinguish the proprieties of
such an occasion. But the belief in this
respect has proved to be unfounded, and
communities which opened their arms to
receive the chief magistrate of the coun-
try have since found that they were en-
PERTAINING only the head Of partisan ad-
ministrauon, who accepted the occasion
as one paltry enough for the manufacture
of party political capital.
Aside from the demonstration thus af-
forded of the smallness of the man, the
speeches which the nominal head of the
imperialist administration has been max
ing are valuable to the extent in which
they show the desperate straits in which
the administration finds itself SO sue
cessful, in his own estimation, has been
his progress as political stump speaker
that Mr.. Mckinley appears to have form
ed an entirely false conception of the eff
fects of those speeches. He has evidently
fallen into the error of believing that, be-
cause there have been no expressions of
disdain from his partisan special plead
ings, his arguments have been accepted
universally as we'll founded, and const1-
tute conclusive justification of his and
his associates policy of Imperialism. He
evidently overlooks the respect and defer
ence with which the mass Of American
citizens regard the office which he holds,
IeSdIulSSS eulH0ly OIL Tie personality OIL
It's incumbent Had he been merely hold
Ing any other office, or even in direct pur-
suit Of the one which he does hold, he
would never have been allowed to fall
into the error of believing that the masses
who have participated in the reception
Of those regiments accepted him or his
official record, apart from his office, as
being worthy of their approval.
The president has felt himself encour-
aged as the result Of his recent political
campaign to avow the determined pur-
pose of his administration to hold on to
the Philippines at all hazards. This is
well. 1t Is we'll that he has laid aside
the policy which he had before followed
of trif1ing with a serious situation. We all
know what to expect as the outcome Of
the imperialist programme, and we will
all be prepared to resist its fulfllment
to the uttermost.' This is compensation
enough to the people for the palpable
breach Of good faith and good taste Of
which William Mckinley has been guilty
in assuming the attitude of political
stump orator in connection with the re-
ception of the recently discharged volun-
teer regiments.

A GREAT RAILWAY PROJECT.

For some time past there has been
under consideration in English political
and financial circles a railway project
daring in it's conception.
As our own transcontinental railroad
systems gave the inspiration and impe-
tus which produced the Canadian Pa
cif1c system, so now the great Russian
transSiberian line has led to the idea
OF constructing g. railroad line in the
interest of British commerce ard political
sway from Africa into Southern Asia. 1t
is contemplated to carry a continuous
line from the Mediterranean to the
Yang-tse valley with Shanghai as it's
eastern terminus and Alexandria or Port
Said as its western point.
The entire extent of the line is esti-
mated at about 1000 miles, Of which
stretch of 1000 miles is already in ex-
Egypt, Arabia, Persia, India and China
by an all-rail line.
It is said in behalf of this project that
the natural difficulties to be overcome
are not half go great as those which
have been met and conquered by Rus
sian engineering skill in Siberia.
It has long been apparent that the
Yangtse valley is the great objective
point Of British enterprise in the Orient.
AS yet the relation Of England to that
great section is of course in the nature
matters are progressing fast toward
great movement in China which will
render the sway of the Chinese empire
as nearly nominal as that of the khedive
in Egypt. Such a line must necessarily
run to a considerable extent through ter
ritory independent Of England, but the
necessary concessions are readily pro,
durable, and there does not seem to ex-
list any good ground why other Euro
pean nations should seriously interfere
with the granting or the exercise of
such concessions.
The enormity of this undertaking, as
well as its vast commercial Importance,
it Is not easy to overestimate On it's
face it appears to be entirely practicable
Assuming without hesitation the position
of Russias chief rival in Asia, England
! will never be content unless she is able
to meet the great Slav empire on an
equal footing in the struggle for COM
mercial and political supremacy in that
vast region.
1t is not easy TO conceive of a project
which would rebound more to the pres
tige and commercial greatness of Eng
land in the two continents of Africa and
Asia. With the cape to Cairo system in
successful operation, there is no power
could meet British commercial ascendant
cy. Germany and France would be mere
territorial and commercial pigmies
| beside her And, considering the
backwardness of the great North
ern empire in marine commerce, the
realization of such a project would leave
Great Britain simply unapproachable as
world power.
The region traversed by the proposed
line includes 100 degrees of longitude In
less than half the time now consumed
in exchanging the products of this i'm
mense region the new system would do
the work 1t would leave the trade of the
countries included wholly in the control

moreover, that whatever he may be 1t

LOUISIANA PURCHASE.
While We protest against the forcible
seizure of territory as g. violation of the
Declaration of Independence we are told
that Jefferson himself violated 1T. This
statement is not true but If 1T were 1t
would not answer the objection. Louis
lana was purchased as an act of neces-
sfty, and the law of self-preservation JUS
tines every measure. Our Mississippi
commerce had been SO hampered by the
vexatious restrictions imposed by the au-
thorities of New Orleans, that 1t had been
proposed in the senate to seize the island
forcibly. Jefferson undertook to secure 1t
peaceably, and in the course of his nego-
whole territory of Louisiana. This turn
ed out to be Of incalcuable benefit, and 1t
IS benefit which can be enjoyed with
out the slightest faint of injustice at it's
source.
IF there were no other objections to
this policy of conquest, it would be
enough to say that it involved the exist
ence Of standing army. Barbarism
places mems hands at each others
threats in Observation-Disclosures en-
ploys them on the bosom of the earth in
production.
The soldier, whether In barracks or in
the camp, Is withdrawn from the fields
Of industry. His own hands add nothing
to the product of the country. His pay
and his sustenance must therefore be
drawn from the product of others. The
aborer is the sole producer. On him
must fall the whole cost of a military
establishment, and thus a standing army
imposes upon each laborer the burden of
supporting two men-himself and a
soldier
1--WE are here this evening to protest
against an attempt to replace the ancient
American policy Of peace and morality
by policy of imperialism, involving the
existence of a standing army to menace
liberty and Cypress labor, because we
want this country to remain the land
where the whole product of the soil is
distributed among the toilers who create
it, where the patriotic workman who pro-
duces is more honored than the paid
fighting man who destroys, where the
laborer's dinner pail is a higher badge
of dignity than the soldiers knapsack,
where the enduring glory of justice is
cherished, and the vain glory of conquest
desQised. where the flag which typides
freedom and the constitution which Sc
cures justice, enshrined in the hearts,
sustained by the arms, glorified by the
memories Of free people, shall remain
fnvincible, indestructible inseparable for
