MIR. HEWITT'S VIEW.

EN-Mayor Abraham S Hewitt. Of New
York. has written an interesting letter
20 the Industrial Commission now in scs-
sion In Washington. with reference to the
status and influence Of corporations in
this age. Mr. Hewitt says. by way Of in
PRODUCTION. that he is now an old man.
practically retired from public affairs
and striving TO close up such private In
forests that still require his attention
From such a man we may expect a fair
and candid statement. an unpreiudiced
view lie says that as far back 1873.
when he was q member Of q Congress
sional Committee 20 investigate the reia-
tionship between capital and labor. he
then anticipated the growth Of corpora
tons which now seems to him To be in
accordance with the evolution Of the last
.'half century ana which may be In ac-
c0rdarCe with the natural law. If there
be natural laws evolved in tho progress
of modern civilization. That is equivalent
10 saying what we have SO often said
IN these columns. that these combinations
have come naturally IN response TO the
demand Of changed conditions.
Again Mr. Hewitt says that in his
opinion, when industry has been sufli-
GENTLY centralized and the ownership
WILDLY dlnused through the distribution
Of shares. the workngmen viii gradually
acquire these shares and control the
property which they represent. Here
again he is in line with the views which
we have expressed and maintained, that
these combinations so far from destroy
ing individuality so far from reducing
the number Of proprctors will, i'm fact
make more propretors than the world
has ever known by affording 10 men Of
small means the opportunity 10 purchase
stock 1t requires Il considerable sum
Of money for any individual 10 set up
business for himself and become a pro-
/ prietor. whereas man with so may be-
come a stakeholder I'm some good corpo-
ration. II Mr. Hewitt is right, If the men
who work for these corporations are
/ finally TO become their owners by the
purchase from time 10 time Of the COM
pany'e shares then We shall have in this
country perfect cooperative system,
and the trusts will prove to be a great
national blessing The only danger that
We see in the trusts is the danger of
their being controlled by few very
rich men and their powerful resources
used TO influence legislation. But if the
people Of the country shall become the
stockholders. ana. therefore. the owners
Of the corporations. that danger is clearly
removed.
In conclusion. Mr. Hewitt says that he
is unable either to predict or suggest
how far legislation can DE made to pro-
mote these desirable ends. but as a gem
cral proposition ne regards legislative
influence in AN such matters as permit
cious Even so. If the politician viii only
lct this great question alone IL VIII work
itself out Of its own way through the
natural operations of natural law. The
demagogic cry of Down with the
Trusts" might as well Doe put I'm other
words. Down with Progress" for when
eyer the lawmakers attempt TO interfere
with legitimate corporations they are
sure TO stand in the way of progress and
the people will be the sufferers.

.AnINrro rHrRAILHoADs.

We gather from the newspapers
throughout the length and breadth OF Viz
ginia. and from the numerous letters of
inquiry and approval that are being re-
celyed By Congressman Jones ana others,
that the May convention Will be largely
attended and that 30 viii be one OF the
most influential political gatherings that
we have had In this State FOR years. We
hope that the several railroads in Nir-
einia Will oner reduced rates to dele
gates. The convention should be treated
hy the railroads as regularly called State
conventions of AN parties are treated and
the usual reduction in rates given.
The railroads may do this without ap-
pearIng TO take Sides. any more than they
would appear 20 take sides against the
Democrats In granting special rates to

THE NEW DEMOCRACY DEFINED.

wr. william J. Bryan's letter to the
Milwaukee Journal published a day or
so ago. deserves more notice than any
thing OF a political character that has
anpoared for some time. il IS addressed
N tho question Of what terms VIII pe
granted Democrats who seeded from the
Marty IN 1876 as the condition upon which
they viii he readmitted 70 the party.
Mr.. Bryan says they must not only hui
initiate themselves. but must declare
their unqualified acceptance Of the Chi
caro platform But the important part
NJ tho letter was his definition Of the
real aim ~ the Chicago PLATFORM ana
that &c expressed I'm the following pas
sage in the letter 20 wit;

She Chicago platform only. and that the
scope and aim Of the Chicago platform

racv then. according 20 the new idea. is

HOWARD-GODDARD./
A Beautiful Wedding at Central
Union Church.

1t was a pleasant though wholly un-
Union church was in it's holiday attire
| for both a church social and the we'd
ding of Margaret Hare Goddard and
| Walter Lincoln Howard last evening.
Under the direction of Mrs. c. H. Her.
rick, Mrs. r. D. Mead and Mrs. w. r.
| Riley. the audience room of the church
had been very tastefully decorated
with palms, ferns and jasmine, the
platform being transformed into a
tropical tangle of luxuriant green.
To the stately measures of the bridal
chorus from Lohengrin, with Professor
| ingalls, at the organ, the bride and her
attendants came forward, the ushers,
Messrs. F. c. Atherton, G. T. Kleugel,
| B. F. Beardmore and r. w. Sharp
| leading the way. Then followed the
| bridesmaid, Miss Victoria Jordan,
| gowned in pink organdie, the little
flower girls, Dora and Juliet Atwater,
dressed in white, and last of all the
bride, queenly figure in a trailing
robe OF yellow brocaded silk with a
bouquet of roses.
Meanwhile, from the yeStry the
groom, with his best man, Mr.. P. NJ.
Pond, advanced to meet them. The
tremulous tones of the organ breathed
an accompaniment to the earnest words
of the ring service by the pastor, Rev.
VIM. NJ. Kincaid, were hushed to soft
er cadences during the prayer by Rev.
c.. L. Pearson and after the formal dec
laration of the new relationship and
new duties and the solemn benediction
burst out into the triumphant chords
of Mendelssohn's Wedding March. AS
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard passed up the
aisle the flower girls scattered roses
and carnations in their path, a token
of the good wishes of their many
friends both present and absent.
Among those present were Chief JUS
tice Judd and Mrs. Judd, DR.. c. NJ.
Hyde and Mrs. Hyde, w. A. Bowen, G.
P. Castle, Chas. NJ. Cooke, P. H. Dodge
and Mrs. Dodge, a. f. Cooke and Mrs.
Cooke, F. w. Damon, f. J. LoWrey and
Mrs Lowrey, Oswald ST John Gilbert,
Capt. T H. Petrie and many others.
Leaving the church, Mr.. and Mrs
Howard drove TO their new home on
Beretania street, formerly known as
the Romeo cottage.

The New Business Building

In front of the Orpheum on Fort
street, Bruce Waring & Co. will erect
a new store building, work to begin as
soon as Mr.. Desky returns from the
coast. There will be five stores from
the sidewalk and upstairs there will be
thirty-four rooms for offices and iodg-
ings. Mr. Walter c. Weldon is attend
ing to the preliminary work. Some Of
the tenants of the present buildings on
the site object to the improvement, for
it is with the greatest difficulty that
they have been able to secure new
quarters. For the entrance TO the Or
pheum theater there will be an artistic
archway.
