The following declaration from the
bench by Judge jackson. of the United
States Circuit Court for West Virginia,
is exciting comment:
my experience on the bench has not
been limited one. and 1 regret to say
that crime Is on the Increase"
Judge Jackson was appointed to the
bench by Abraham Lincoln, and has
therefore served much beyond the aver
age. Jackson can substantiate his as
sertion If called to do so in his own
court. 1t PERHAPS is rather the result of
one of the erroneous impressions of the
world of their younger days to which
the aged are peculiarly liable Gener-

THE PAPERS OF SUICIDES.

a new law in New York, which will
go into effect September /. prohibits the
publishing of letters or private papers
found on the person of suicide or a
victim OF murder or accident, except
upon the written declaration of the
coroner that the publication is ncces-
sary to aid in the discovery of a crime
Or of the Identification of the body
The law is a sensible one. The neces-
sity for 1t was brought about by the
sensational newspapers of New York
rifing the pockets of suicides and pub
fishing all manner of private communi-
cations found in them. Such Dublica-
tons have frequently caused Ecandals
affecting not only the dead, but living
persons.

ARE CORPORATIONS HELD UP.

Senator William Lindsay, Of Ken
lucky. in q recent address before the
Academy of Political and Social Sci
ence at Philadelphia, delivered himself
of some views in regard to corporation
influence in politics which. IL not new,
are contrary to those held by most men
who have seen with alarm the growth
of that influence. The generally ac-
cepted view Is that these organizations
cent contributors to the campaign
funds of the political party that would
promise most In the way of special leg
islaton in return for these favors.
Senator Lindsay does not share this
view. The Philadelphia Ledger thus re-
ports him:
Corporations. as rule. however, do
not voluntarily or willingly contribute
to campaign funds. Senator Lindsay
said they are in a sense powerless, be-
cause of their peculiar relations to leg
islation. to resist the stand and de-
liver argument of party managers
Nine-tenths of the corporations now in
terfering in politics would welcome he
said, an opportunity to abandon that
ton to the purposes for which they
were created"
If Senator Lindsays estimate of the
relative fttttffbet-ef- corporations that
contribute to corruption funds willingly
could be substantiated 1t would go far
to allay the natural resentment that
corporate interference in politics has
excited among the people. 1t would also
explain in measure how Mark Hanna
was able TO raise such an enormous cor
| ruption fund in 1896. and why he is re-
| garded by his party associates as an
| ideal national chairman.
Practically. however, If Senator Lind
says view be the correct one. the dam
ger to popular government from this
evil Is increased rather than lessened
| whether the corporations are ordered
by party managers to stand and de-
liver" or whether they contribute will
| ingly. makes little difference. so long as
their contributions are used to corrupt
the ballot or to purchase special legis-
lation and immunity from just burdens
IT, however, designing politicians can
play upon the fears of these t.morous
and soulless bodies by threatening hos
tile legislation. thus extortirg unwill
ing contributions, certainly the case is
more grave than IL they merely come
forward to do business" when n posi-
tive advantage may be gained by 1t.
Senator Lindsay is probably right in
a measure. but he seems to do the cor
porations too much honor. MANY of
them certainly are not backward TO in
terfere in politics on their own ac-
count. They are not bulldozed into
maintaining Hobbies at Washington and
the various State capitals, but they are
maintained none the less. Sometimes
the lobby is precaution. but more
often 1T is a menace. 1t may. however.
only be the tenth corporation that
branches out for itself TO pack or buv
Legislatures. to elect Congressman and
Senator's
We should prefer to think Senator
Lindsay mistaken. The spectacle OF the
politician playing the role of the des-
pot and dictator and levying tribute on
legitimate business is not an attractive
one.

To have declared for a Constitutional
Convention would have subjected Mr..
Martin to the further question: :" Do
you favor the submission of its work to
the people?" He would not have dared
answer: Yes" To have remained 81
lent, or have answered "No" would
have prematurely exposed n game that
the Corporations have been playing for
decade.
So the matter stands to-day. II a
Constitution can be foisted on the peo-
pie without their consent the SPECIAL
INTERESTS want 1t. If the people
must "have say on a New Consti-
tuition. the corporations prefer the pres
come into the Convention knowing
what they want and prepared to fight

pie on n New Constitution. They will
contend that the question of submit
ting its work to the people should be
left to the convention which amends
the Constitution. trusting that when
the time comes they will be able to pre-
vent any reference of the Constitution
to the people.
The Virginian-Pilot cannot believe
that the I'd Of May Democratic State
Convention will so far forget its De-
mocracy as to fail to safeguard the
right of the people to pass on their own
Constitution. However badly revision

better no change than a change for the
worse; and far better an Underwood
CEstitution, that can be easily amend
ed. than a Corporation Constitution
crammed with evils solely in behalf of
Corporate interest. and so framed that
amendments hereafter will be next TO
impossible.
