tender mercies of the people of such state as may desire to collect its running expenses from the taxation of corporations organized to prey upon people outside.
 Here is one remedy: Congress should pass law providing that no corpora tion organized in any state should do business outside of the state of its origin until it receives from an au- thority created by congress a license authorizing it to do business. Such license can be granted upon conditions which will, in the first place, prevent the watering of stock; in the second place, prevent monopoly in any branch of business; and, third, provide for publicity as to all of the transactions and business of the corporation. ! Ifsuch law is unconstitutional, l am in favor of an amendment to the constitution that will give congress power to destroy every trust in the country.
 KWATERING. do not believe that any state should permit the organization of a corpora tion with a single drop of water in the stock of that corporation, The farmer cannot infiate the value of his land by watering the value of that land. The merchant in the store cannot intlate the value of the goods upon his shelves. Why should the corporation be permitted to put out stock that rep resentS no real value?
 If the license system were once es tablished by congress the law could from year to year impose such new conditions as might be necessary fol the protection of the public from tho greed and ayarice of great aggrega tions of wealth. i do not go so far a' some do and believe that there should be no private corporations; but say that corporation is created by law that it is created for the pubic good and that it should never be permitted f to do d thing that is injurious to th' , public, and that if any corporation en , joys privileges today which are hurt , ful to the public those privileges ough , to be withdrawn from it.

damp which followed the explosion and
was unable TO make his way back 70 the
fresh air.
Rescue parties were Immediately or
ganized and followed the way taken by
the fire boss They found party of
eight men near the connecting gangWay
and carried them TO the fresh air, not a
moment too soon. for all were almost
suffoeated by the fumes OF the deadly
after damp
The work Of rescue continued for sew
eral hours and By noon it was believed
that all the imprisoned men had been
released but about 20 It was found BY
the rescuers that the air-currents
through the mine were much better
than at first supposed and this gave
hope to the crowds of weeping women
and children about the mouth Of the
shaft that all their relatives and friends
would be brought to the surface in safe
y and little the worse for their terrible
experience It IS practically certain
however. that many of the miners are
dead, for the deadly gas known as after
! damp. which follows all explosions in
mine workings had gathered in large
quantities near the connection between
shafts No. 5 and 2 where the party OF
eight men were rescued An opening
was made in the mass of debris at the

after the eight men were rescued at the
