"They have obtained a privi-
lege that enables them to bid
for the surplus capital of the
public by the offer of interest
bearing securities. The gov
ernment, having made it posi-
BILE for a few citizens to obtain
the capital of the many for in
vestment, should exert all its
power to protect that capital
and contine the use of it to
Legitimate business.
1T may be urged that such a
system would extend the func-
tions of state, government to
the regulation of private bust
ness. Such an argument will
not hear analysis. The United
States government charters ma
tional banks, reserving the
right to inspect the methods
and examine into the condition
of such institutions at any
time.
This system has never been
classed as usurpation of extra
ordinary functions of govern
| ment, nor has it retarded the
proper and safe development
of the banking business. The
state of New York has for many
years exercised without ques-
tion the right to license and
examine the business of life,
fire and marine insurance.
Every chartered corporation
that offers it's securities to the
people as an investment be-
comes a semi-public institution
and should be inspected and
regulated by the same power
that created it. Such control
would not in any way oppress
or retard Legitimate business.
Chartered companies should
be compelled to confine their
investments and development
to the legal and proper conduct
of the business for which they
were created and for the prose-
cution of which they have re-
ceived from the government
special privileges and powers.
"Under existing conditions
there is no safety and little
protection for outside investor, S
who buy the securities of great
chartered corporations. They
must trust largely to the repu-
tation of company or that of
it's officers, amt recent events
in Wall street show how public
confidence is often misplaced
and abused.
"Our present system of cor
poration laws puts a premium
upon stock jobbing. Recent
developments in some of the
speculation in trust stocks put
emphatic emphasis on this
danger so long pointed out by
political economists. We have
had many instances of late
where officers of these corpor-
ations, holding only a compare
lively small interest, have run
the business of their concerns
in the interest of stock specula-
tion instead of legitimate de-
velopment. Mills have been
shut down and men thrown
out of employment simply to
affect prices on the Exchange.
"lt is not only the working
but all classes of men are COM
mencing to rebel against gov
ernment protection of such
corporations and men. 1t is to
be hoped that this matter may
soon be taken in hand, other
wise the internperance and OPP
preston of the concerns will
bring about disorder. The com
mcrcialism of this, class of cor
poratinns and corporation man
ayers extends to every walk Of
public life. Their Vaccinations
have taken the government out
Of the hands Of the people. To
my mind this is the most seri-
Gus problem that the country
has yet had to face"

WILL OPPOSE GEN. ROBERTS
Strongly -whereabouts Of General
oropis and His Force Unknown.
Probably slipped Away.

LONDON, Feb. n, 4:15 a. m.-The
Beers are leaving all their positions
held by them on British territory and
are concentrating for the defense Of
their own. Sir Redvers Butler thinks
they are about to raise the Siege Of
Ladysmith and this IS the large news Of
the day. General Clements reports
that the force confronting him has
been greatly diminished. Ten thou
sand men are estimated to have gone
from the colesberg district alone. The
Beers are also retracins their steps
from Zuluiand. Thus they are relax
ing their hold on all sides in order to
assemble to oppose Lord Roberts. he
IS pressing on steadily towards Bloem-
fonteIn. This Is shown by his inoonse-.
ouential telegram from Paardeburgr
nifty or sixty miles away. Doubtless he
is miles behind the column that Is pur-
suing the Beers and the next important
news may be the occupation Of BiOem-
fontein.
Nothing has been heard from the
case Of cronje for two days. Although
the last words OF the war Office tonight
were that there was no news for publ
cation. there is strong disposition to
believe that favorable information has
been received. but Is being withheld
until the operations cuIminate in some
thing more conclusive. There is an
equally strong disposition to think that
General cronje has got away.
Not Likely to Invade BOsr Territory.
Owing to the lack of transport, the
British are not likely to invade BOer
territory except where Lord Roberts is
operating. General Butler viii have to
stop at the DralSensberg mountains.
Probably a part OF his 10000 men will
ultimately join the legions of Lord Rob-
erts.
II. as General Butler AYERS, the Beers
are retreatlng from him then the news
on every side ls favorable to the Brit
ish.
Nevertheless, troops continue 70 ~
up. The war office thinks the call to
veterans to rejoin the colors, together
with the bounty, win bring 5000 men
to the home defense. The urgency
with which home defense is pressed ex-
ictes some wonder.
