HAS cAuoAr THE MONSTER.
success of william Jennings Bryan =,
an Octopus Chaser.

Mr.. Bryan Is to be congratulated. He
is no longer an octopus chaser He
has actually caught the monster. From
Upton, Mo-, comes the good tidings
that the peerless leader of the incom-
parable Democracy has at last found a
way to control trusts.
The Bryan plan is so very simple
that the wonder Is 1t was not thought
ct beso-c. Let congress. he says. pass
q law that no corporation shall do
business without federal license out
side OF the state In which II was in
corporated. He would make It peni-
tentiary offense for any one to do busi-
ness with corporation not having
such a license. or for the corporation
to operate without this license In exy
state, save the one wherein II IL In
corporated. In some unexplainnbie
way the issuance of these permits
should be so restricted as TO make
monopoly impossible. Stock-watering
is to be prohibited. and the amount Of
capital limited. Besides all this, the
companies would file statements OF
earnings. expenses. profits. etc, with
the government, as railroad cOmpan-
les are now compelled to do in some
states. 1T would he says. ''be such
an easy matter then to regulate their
capitalization and business that mon
opolization would be impossible
A more absurd proposition could
hardly be conceived. for the greater
part OF the business of this country is
conducted on the joint-stock plan. 1t
would be trying to bail out the ocean
to catch the whales. Corporations
range in capitalization from few
thousands to many millions. and they
are like the sands of the sea in multi
tude. The reports which Mr.. Bryan's
plan calls for on earnings. expenses.
etc, for one year would flll hundreds
of volumes and be the most stupendous
expenditure for useless information
ever made by any government.
II Mr.. Bryan wants to be the butt OF
universal ridicule. let him appear be-
fore the Forthcoming antitrust con-
ference to be held in Chicago and give
an exhibition of himself astride this
new hobby.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Decided on Its Merits.
Chicago, Oct. 16.-The Paris cor
respondent of the Record. says:
Now that the last of the judges and
lawyers in the Venezuelan arbitration
case have left Paris, the Venezuelan
official world here is beginning to
speak out and to express its real opin.
ion concerning the recent award. The
things that are said are not compll-
mentary to England or to President de
Martens. 1t Is considered that regli-
lar plot was inaugurated against Ven
ezuelan interests by England, and for
this NJ. de Martens is especially blamed
since 1t is believed that influences in
high quarters in Russia moved him to
favor England, so as to gain for his
country the British goodwill in the
partition of China.
When the arbitrators met to settle
the award, the Venezuelans say. II was
discovered that their conclusion was
already arrived at, and this conclusion
was entirely to the advantage of Eng.
land. Thereupon Chief Justice Fuller.
with the greatest earnestness. and even
Indignation, vigorously combated the
proposed award. He declared that he
and Justice Brewer would protest pub
lcly, and he Informed Professor de
Martens, who Is the soul of The Hague
arbitration scheme, that the treaty of
arbitration never would pass the Wash.

This threat seemed to frighten NJ. de
Martens, and he partially abandoned
the English judges. A lame compro.
mise was arranged, which became The
final award Though far from what
Venezuela had right to expect, It was

originally planned by the majority of
the judges.
