FEDERAL LICENSES.

MIR. GARFIELD's report as Com
IA missioner Of Corporations shows
that there is necessity for some Federal
legislation governing the formation and
control Of corporations doing vast
business throughout the states Of the
union. Under the constitutional pro-
vision giving TO Congress wide powers
in controlling Interstate commerce,
Mr.. Garfield thinks statute might
be drafted remedying many OF the ad-
mltted evils. He says:
Secrecy and dishonesty in promo
tion capitalization; unfair dis
termination by means OF transportation
and other rebates; unfair and preda-
tory competition; secrecy Of corporate
administration, and misleading or dis
honest financial statements are gener-
ally recognized as the principal evils.
Most Of these evils have been illus
trated many times, and we think the
temper OF the country calls for a REM
edy. Mr.. Garfield from his close rela-
tlons with the President may be re-
garded as shaving spoken for his chief
and. therefore, the remedy he proposes
win not be passed over lightly. II
calls for a license to be issued to each
corporation doing an Interstate busi-
ness, no license TO be issued until cer-
tain important regulations are COM
piled with. This means that the States
viii have all the powers they have at
present but that the Federal govern
ment win exercise an authority above
them all. The remedy is worthy Of
consideration.

Sewing Machines For Esquimaux.

Sewing Machines For Esquimaux.
From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
A band OF eleven Esquimaux from the
Nieutian Islands passed through Seattle
on their way home from the St. Louis ex-
position. attired IN the garments Of civil
ilaation, and two OF the squaws are talk
ing back sowing machines, which will be
installed In their ice huts to supplant the
bono needle and gut thread with which
they have teon won't TO sew their gar
ments.
On the down trip the party could not
appreciate a bed and all slept on tho
door. Now they take to the beds as natu-
rally as they do to seal oil on their native
heath, and, strange as it may seem, none
OF thtm Is homesiclS. and all are anxious
TO return to this country next year.
one OF the articles that are being taken
back by the head man OF the party is a
stovopipe hat. He saw President Roose-
welt wearing high silk hat at the fair.
and when told that II was the President
who wore IT, he at once commissioned
MIR. Bales to so out and buy him one. As
becomes the dignity OF tho chieftalnship,
he will only wear the hat on state oo-
casions.

A UNIQUE RECORD.
Not Another Like it in Our Broad Re.
public.

FAhAfSt
To give positive home testimony in
every locality is Of itself unanswerable
proof of merit; but when we add to
this the continued endorsement from
people who testified years ago no evil
dence can be stronger. A Wilmington
citizen gratefully acknowledges the
good received from Doan's Kidney
Pills, and when time has tested the
cure we find the same hearty endorse
ment, with added enthusiasm and
continued praise. Cases OF this kind
are plentiful in the work Of Doan's
Kidney Pills. and such a record is uni
que in the annals Of medicine.
John c. Williams, Of 70S Wilson ST.,
Wilmington, Del. says: TN 1897
used Doan's Kidney Pills for kidney
complaint. My trouble had resisted
all the other medicines I used, and
the pain in my back had become so
severe that I could scarcely straighten.
Dizzy spells were frequent and the
secredons from the kidneys were very
irregular, painful during passages. and
contained a heavy sediment Hearing
| OF Doan's Kidney Pills i got a supply
at Dantorth's drug store and kept on
using them until I had taken three
boxes The result was a complete and
absolute cure. These are the facts
which stated In a testimonial given
seven years ago. have been free
from kidney trouble during all that
time, and am pleased to repeat my
testimony for the benefit Of other suf-
ferers."

VERY aERENzIEp FINANcE.g

THE latest humber Of "Frenzied
\ Finance" has stirred up more ex-
citement than all the preceding num-
bers. For once the Standard oil
Crowd was Jared. as Mr.. Rogers at
tempted TO stop the sale Of Every
body's and threatened libel proceed
ings; and that as an advertisement is
probably worth a vast sum TO the
magazine.
And now Mr.. Rogers announces that
he has changed his mind and that in
future no attention will be paid to
Mr. Lawson and his stories. But the
sphynx was shaken for a moment, and
that is something TO know. II Is pos
sibIe to get under the frigld exterior
Of these great captains OF finance, after
an.
The general impression is that Mr..
Lawson is telling in the main a truth
ful story, with certain embellishments,
and that IN thus showing TO the vast
number OF lambs" the manner in
which they have been fieeced, what
ever his motives may be. he is pes
forming most valuable service.
It may be that the Standard oil
Crowd hesitate TO appeal to the courts
and face a jury Of American citizens.
Certainly the verdict would not be in
nuenced by sympathy for these mag
mates. Finance in the future is almost
certain 20 be less frenzled.

 their transfers correctly. The conduc- tor receiving the transfer should use reasonable judgment, giving the pass enger the benefit of any doubt for hav- ling lost one car, but in no instance ac- Icept transfer on the second car Iafter the one for which it was punched. If the, transfer is not good, ask the passenger for cash fare in a polite manner. If the passenger refuses to pay the cash fare, stop the car and re- lquest the passenger to leave. If the passenger does not do so, eject him with as little violence as possible, taking the names of witnesses and keeping the transfer or transfers, making out a re- bort to the office as soon as possible. The failure of certain conductors to register their fares has become very
 serious in some cases, and has got to be stepped. -s I shall endeavor to get absolutely con- elusive evidence, and no conductor will he discharged for this cause without careful Investigation. I will read to you the portions of our different lines upon which overriding lis allowed, as I think it possible that some conductors may not be familiar with the same. a..
 As an incentive and encouragement to both motornen and conductors to obey the rules of the company, the corl- pany hereby offers two funds of five hundred dollars ($500) each to be divid- ed up by the men who have the best records for the year beginning Wednes- day, August 10. 4. A record has been kept for some time in the superintendent's office of all vio- lations of rules by the different en-
 ployes, each man having page of his own. The $500 in each class will be di- vided equally among the men whose
 names do not appear on the superin-
 tendent's books for any violations of
 the rules during the term of this offer, i and in event of their being no man in
 either class who has not had his name
 on the records for some trivial offense, have adopted a demerit system for
 the several violations, so that if there be no clean records, that man or men
 who have the lowest number of marks lagainst them will share in the division.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1904-08-02

For instance. all those. if there De none lower. that have five marks will divide equally. Those who receive six will not be in the division. The system have adopted is as follows: For conductors Missing car. the first time, seven; fail- ure to promptly hand In accident report properly witnessed, ten; lying over at end of run, five; failure to report for snow storm, five; issuing incorrectly punched transfers. ten; leaving car lwhile on duty, when motorman is al ready of the car, five; ineiyiiity to pass engers, five. ...-.. s.
 The marks for motormen are as fol- lows: Missing ear, first time, one; miss ing car, second time, three; missing car, third time, seven; off track, where mo- torman is at fault, five; failure to sign accident report propmtly. ten; lying over at end of run, five; fast or reckless running, five; failure to report for snow storm, five; leaving car while on duty, when conductor is already off the car, five. ...... trust that the above prizes may have tthe desired effect of bettering the ser vice, and, at the same time, of reward ling those who deserve it.
 Before close. gentlemen, wish to lstate that in my treatment with you as Iemployes of this company, desire to be perfectly fair, and when am obliged
 to discipline man it is done with no lmalice, but for the good of the service. I Thanking you for your attention, l
