STEEL TRUST TN
FULL SWING.

Trenton, N. j., April 1.-The be-
lated certificate Of increase of capital
Of the great blllion-dollar Steel Trust
made its appearance at the office of
Secretary ofState to-day. 1t provides
for an increase in the authorized cap
ital of the giant of Trusts from $4,000
to 81, 100, 900, 900, the heaviest capi.
tailed concern in all the world.
When the original articles of incor-
poration of the United States Corpo-
ration were filed here, early in the
present year, and the capital stock
was fixed at $4,000, and it was known
that the increase would be made at
an early day but there was no guess
that the delay was due to desire to
get legislation nor was it generally
known that a Blk which passed the
last Legislature and got the Govern
or's signature was in the interest of
the great combination. The measure
met some opposition in the Assembly
but it had such strong influences
back of it that the opposition was cf-
fectually squclched.
The new law gives Boards of Direc-
tors almost unlimited power in the
conduct of the affairs of corporations.
1t reads as follows:
absent stockholders may vote at
all meetings by proxy in writing, ard
every corporation may determ inc by
its certificate of Incorporation or by
laws the manner of calling all meet
ing, what number Of shares shall en-
title the stockholders to one or more
votes, what number of stockholders
Shall attend, either in person or by
proxy, or what number of shares or
amount of interest Shall be repre-
sented at any meeting in order to
constitute a quorum and may by its
original or amended certificate of in
corporation provide that any action
which now requires the consent of
the holders of two-thirds of the stock
at any meeting after any notice to
them given, or requires their con-
sent in writing to lie fled may be
taken upon the consent OF, and the
consent given and fled by the holders
Of twO.thirds Of the stock of each
class represented at such meeting in
persons or by proxy. In no case
shall more than a majority OF shares
or amount Of interest he required to
be represented at any meeting in or
der to constitute a quorum. IT the
quorum shall not be SO determined by |
the corporation. Il matority in interest
of the StJckhoidcrs represented either
in person or by proxy Shall constitute
a quorum.
That the certificate Of increase of
capital should he filed SO soon after
the adjournment Of the Legislature
arOuScs some considerable comment.

Cleveland, Ohio. Yesterday by 5000
plurality. The Republicans elect

THE President has done nothing
for the Republicans Of Delaware.
He has appointed three times as
MANY Democrats to positions IN the
Government service from Delaware
as Republicans. In fact he appears
TO have taken a special delight in
appointing Democrats from this
State, when he could have named
Republicans. These positions are
not under civil service aud were
filled by the recommendation of the
President. We don't think the
President has set very good ex.
ample tor Repub!icansin in Delaware
but on the contrary, has done all
he could to make them luke warm IN
their support. Here we have

THERE is a great de Al said in GER
tain papers about the corruption Of
the voters ia this State that is un-
warranted. We think we can safe.
ly say that the voters at the press
ent time are as pure as they were
So years ago. In 1874 both parties
used all the money they could get
and they have done so at every
election since that time. Every po-
litician krows this is so, and the
talk Of the superiority and integrity
of the Democrats in times past or
at the present, is a mere subterfuge.
BY the use of money the Democrats
maintained their majority in Kent
and Sussex and even in New Castle
it exerted potent influence. Per.
sons who say otherwise must Ee
very ignorant or wiltully misrepr
sent the real state OF affairs To
say the Democrats are more honest
than the Republicans is atalsehood
A greater number of Democrats
have been guilty of fraud than the
members OF any other party. The
scheme to count out eX. Sheriff Finn
is fresh in the minds Of all and the
base piece of chichanery by which
the Kent county steal was accom-.
plshed, seating the Democrats in
the Legislature and the Constitu.
tlonal Convention has never had a
parallel IN this State or any other.
Let the people review the history
OF Dem ocratic politicians and then
talk about honor if they dare.

Society. The Society has not sutfi-

reverse. Every penny raised by
