the applause Of municipal ownership.
/ concede the principle Of it. The gov
eminent has no right to empower any
private agency to perform a function
unless 1t be one which the government
would be bound itself to perform If
that agency were not to be found. The
only excuse for empowering private
corporation t6"diseharge q public
function is the excuse that the service
will be more efficient. The question,
then, of municipal ownership Is
mere question Of expediency. l won't
debate 1t here, for this reason, that II
1t be remedy 1t ia such remote one
that discussion Of it would be dis
cussion Of the interests Of our chill
dren rather than Of ourselves.
"Now, is there any practical remedy
that this conference can suggest that
can be put in force tomorrow by any
legislature that happens to be in ses-
sion. My friends, it seems to me to be
very simple matter. The fact Is,
you would mot have the task in law to
denounce special rates to individuals;
that is the law today. The remedy,
then, is simply to define practical
penalty, serious one. and then pro-
vide for publicity, and you need not
enforce the penalty. An officer Of
corporation granting special favor to
any person who has right to use that
possession on equal terms with every
boay else, ought to be held guilty Of
serious felony"
In the course of his address Mr..
Cochran declared that "the manage
nent of corporations has been the
blacklist page in all history. And the
public indignation, unfortunately,
which ought to be expended on the
corporate management which is re-
sponsible for this abuse. has too often
been visited upon the stockholders
and the corporations themselves who
have been the victims of that infamy.
You have only got to look back to the
history of the panic Of 1873 and the
history of the panic of 1893 and the
corporate management that preceded
that panic, and you find corporations
wrecked and looted by those to whose
hands they were entrusted. Now, all
this story Of infamy and of wrong and
of perfidy and of fraud has not brought
one hour of shame or humiliation to
those who have perpetuted it. They
are walking the streets today, their
heads high in the world Of finance"
At the close of his speech the New
Yorker won the hearts of his listeners
by paying Mr.. Bryan a well chosen
compliment, which the Democratic
leader blushingly acknowledged. Mr..
Cochran likened Mr. Bryan to mo-
nopoly, and claimed he was bigger
MONOPOLY as the leader of the Demo-
cratic party than any financial corpora
ton In the world.

Pulaski, Va. Sept. 16.-Noah Fin
ley, a negro, was hanged here yes
terday. A large crowd was present,
but there was no disorder. Finley's
crime was highway robbery and at
tempted murder. and his execution

stsLlsneD DAILY, EXCEPT SUNDAYS.
SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 70. 1900.


M r. G. Dun & Co. s financial re-
report for the week says:
.Business conditions have not
changed. The merchandise distrI-
button is active In all departments,
and practically in all parts OF the
country. The grain and cotton
movement is increasing, although
the rapid accumulation of stocks of
scereals atthe seaboard is prevented
BY a scarcity of cars. The latter
is due to the greater demand tor
rolling stock incident to the general
business expansion and heavy lake
traffic. The industries, with very
lew exceptions, are crowded with
orders, and in many instances are
unable to meet demands for early
deliveries. Speculative markets
have been somewhat affected by the
recent tension in the loan markets;
but the money situation has had no
appreciable effect in restraint of
the activity of commercial business.
Foreign trade returns continue Ia
vorable. August exports OF Sl04,-
64S,436 were the largest for that
month OF any recent year; and the
excess OF exports over imports
reached a total of $57, 929,699. The
fall seasons expansion CT foreign
trade has begun earlier than usual,
and increasing exports from this
time forward are well assured.
The outlook is very favorable for
continued activity among the mills
and in the distributing trades.
Business failures during the past
week. numbered 149 in the United
States and 81 in Canada, against
TIA in this country and 25in Canada
during the corresponding week last
year"
The condition of the cotton crop
at the close of August was much
more unfavorable than had been
anticipated. Spot cotton is down
Lilo Of cent per pound lower than
a week ago. The cotton goods
trade is active. Demand in many
cases exceeds the capacity of the
mills. The wool trade has been de-
cidedly more active. There has
been a good demand for dress goods
but a seasonable slackening OF ac-
tivlty is noted in the new demand
for mems wear fabrics. Prices of
finished iron aud steel have again
advanced and the trend of values
continues upward. The tendency
is for an increase in price in pig
iron, all the markets for all produce
are on the raise.

True Fptendship.

True friendship selects surely and
grows slowly. but it Is ever on the move.
If it does not go forward, 1t will go hack
ward 1t is more difficult to forgive
friend than nm enemy, because Of what
we expect from the former. 1t would
seem upon occasions that friends were
given us as lessons in patience and broad
charity. We have been taught to forgive
our enemies Full as much do we need
to learn INDULGENCE in friendship.
