ly at reasonable intervals
The large corporations, commonly called
trusts, though organized in one state, al
ways do business i'm many states, often
doing very little business in the state
where they are Incorporated. There is
utter lack of uniformity in the state laws
about them, and as no state has any eN-
elusive interest In or power over their
acts " has Ia practive proved impossible
to get adequate regulation through state
action. Therefore in the interest of the
whole people the nation should, without
Interfering with the power of the states
IN the matter ITSELF also assume power OF
supervision and regulation over all corpo-
rations doing an interstate business. This
is especially true where the corporation
derives portion of its wealth from the
existence of some monopolstiC element or
tendency I'm its business There would be
no hardship in such supervision Banks
are subject to II, and in their case II Is
now accepted as a simple matter Of
course. Indeed it is probable that super
vision of corporations by the national gov
ernment need not go so far as Is now the
case with the supervision exercised over
them by so conservative a state as Mas
sachusetts in order to produce excellent
results.

When the constitution was adopted, at
the end of the eighteenth century, no hui
man wisdom could foretell the sweeping
changes. alike in industrial and political
the beginning of the twentieth century.
At that time it was accepted as a matter
of course that the several states were the
proper authorities to regulate so FAR as
was then necessary the comparatively in
significant and strictly localized corporate
bodies Of the day. The conditions are now

Pittsburg, Aug. 24.-The conference
of the labor leaders at the Amalga-
mated Association headquarters yes.
terday afternoon, at which President
John Mitchell, Of the United Mine
Workers was present, gave rise to all
sorts of rumors, but President Shaffer
said last night that nothing Of import
ance was accomplished.
II is believed however that as a re-
suit of the meeting another effort will
be made TO induce the corporation to
enter another conference. The specific
means to bring this about would not
be discussed by any of those present.
One report was that at the confer
ence Secretary jerks, of the Industrial
convention, proposed that some disin-
terested persons should convey to c.
mr. schwab, president Of the steel cor
poration, the information that a settle
ment might be effected, provided the
Amalgamated Association officials
should sign the wage agreement for
the mills they controlled last year
Confirmation Of this however could
not be secured.
An interesting rumor reported from
New York yesterday was that circular
letters had been sent TO all of the
presidents of labor unions by the
Amalgamated Association asking what
each would or could do to assist the
steel workers in their strike. One OF
the replies which It is said was re-
ceived was from p. M. Arthur. head
OF the Brotherhood OF Locomotive En-
gneers. II is alleged that in this reply
President Arthur said that his orgspi-
cation held contracts with the various
railroads That they also were bound
to move the United States mall That
the organization could make no dis
tinction between the United States
Steel corporation and individual
shippers.

Jimsey was what everybody called

came shortened into Jim See, and Jim
See into "Jimsey," which, after all, Q

he's been several times up to Central
Park, where he was on speaking terms
with many Of the animals, and he knew
more good swimming places along East

One day "Jimsey" went forth to ex-
plore new regions and wandered down
to the West street docks, where the big
steamers said for England and Europe.
He had a bundle of papers under his
arms, but he disposed of them in quick
order, and. therefore, had nothing to do
but satisfy his curiosity, when he came
to one of the big piers.
A steamer was just about to sail for
Europe, and every one was in a great
hustle. Cables were running around,

ing awfully. At last she lost her breath
and had to stop; then she found the
steel trap on her tail, and she thought
that one of the little Goats must have
snapped it fast there when she was not
looking, so she threw the trap into the
bushes and went home very angry at
the whole family.
Mrs. Goat had been awakened by the
noise Miss Crow made when the trap
caught her by the tail, and she went
down to see about it at once, only to
lind the trap gone. The next day she
told every one that Miss Grow had
stolen it.
Mr.. Fox had been one of the suffer
ers from Mr.. Crows depredations, SO he
went to a place in the woods where he
knew Mr.. Grow often stayed and set a
snare, which is made by bending down
a young tree and fastening the top close
to the ground with a running moose rope
like a lasso spread around on the
ground under the tree. The bait is
placed in the center of the running
moose. so that when any one touches it
the tree springs up again, and they are
caught by the moose and hung in the
| air. Mr.. Fox went home feeling GER
tain he would, catch Mr.. Grow, n
thinking how smart he was. He did
not dare to go back during the day, for
If Mr.. Grow was in the neighborhood
and not yet caught he would be sure to
| become suspicious, and not touch the
bait at all. 1t was late Fat night when
Mr.. Fox went back to the trap to see
if he had caught Mr.. Grow, but it was
so dark he could hardly find the way.
At length he reached the place and
looked for the snare. 1T seems to
me 1t was right here he said, "but it
is 90 dark l can hardly tell one tree
| from another" He made a step for
ward and-swish! went something be-
| hind him. In a minute he felt some
thing catch his left hind leg, and there
he was, swinging in the air and hang
| ing on by one leg, caught in his own
| snare. He squirmed around and tried
