Corporation Regulation.

Mr.. Garfield, Federal commissions
OF corporations, does not report in
favor of any hitherto unproposed
method OF dealing with corporations
engaged in Interstate commerce, but
he does unqualifiediy recommend
that method which has most strong
ly appealed to all who have looked
into the question. The require
ments of federal permission for the
state corporation is the easiest and
most effective Of bringing
under firm control those phases Of
corporation management which now
escape all control because they
are beyond the powers of the indiv-
idual states.
Mr.. Garfield is quite right in main
tanning that the federal government
has the power to create corporations
and congress should make provision
for such corporations. But as all
our corporations, except ii nation
al banks ale now organized under
state laws, il would raise a host of
difficult problems and lead to end
less confusion If there were any to
be required to reorganizs under FEEDER
al laws. The requirement Of 4 feder-
al license Of q state corporation be-
fore il can do an interstate business
will necessiate the elimination OF
objsctional features Of its organize
ton and bring it directly under the
supervision Of the Federal govern
ment. Under such an arrangement
no state las New Jersey is today
could be the paradise Of corporations
except snch as should coniins their
operations to the territory OF the
state. AZ there il scarcely ! bust.

To an an outsider it looks as if
there was much politics mixed with
that grand jury Investigation IN
Minnshaha county. That body made
a lengthy report to the circuit court
in which it stated that the guard at
the ~psnitentiary, one Frank Hogan.
with out justification did shoot and
mortally wound a prisoner, one Rob
ert White. The grand jury goes
further and says:
We find that in the whole treatment of
this man White a species of brutality was
practiced that IL an outrage upon our
civilization, and If strict justice should be
done, those participating in Ii would
themselves be behind prison bars. 1t was
not enough that this prisoner should be
shot down TO enforce obedience, but after
he was down. he was dubbed by the dep
uty warden, handcuffed, and without
any examination as to the character of
his wound, placed in a dungeon to die,
without IA consolation Of priest or friend.
Such an atrocious, coldblooded proceed
Ing has no parallel in prison management
in America, and brands every man con-
nected with the act a craven coward, and
not possessed of a grain of humanity. In
our opinion, no words of condemnation or
censure can be commensurate with the
~offense.
We have, so far as time would permit,
made an investigation into the offairs of
the NifU of &f0ts~ EoIIa t. ..ols-~ "a.
investigation we have been hampered
not only by lack of time, but also, by the
absence from the city of Sioux Falls of a
number of persons who we desired to call
as witnesses. We are convinced that sta
tutes of the state havein the past been at
at least technically violated and that
while such violations may have been i'm
nocently made they should not be re-
pcated In the future.
1t may be true that no criminal
intent could be located in any act
OF the city Of Sioux Falls. But it 10
not the province Of a grand jury to
try and acquit those suspected or
charged with a crime. But what
are We to think OF the report re
garding the affair at the peniten-
tiary' The grand jury practically
charges n or more peRitentiary
employees with murder aud yet it
does not even perform the trifing
duty OF returning an Indictment.
Did the grand jury intend to bring
about justice, u did it only intend
to grind a political AK

A BITTER DOSE
Is Promised Lindo Murphy, the
Bootlegger.
No Witnesses Present This Morning
and the Case Went Over Until
November.

Undo Murphy, "King of Bootleg
gers" will not be tried this term Of
federsl court, no witnesses against
him having shown mp. Judge Evans
continued the case with Instructions
TO the deputy marshals &c have the
witnesses summoned and at the court
house at the next term when Murphy
will without fail be given a hearing.
Murphy will he placed under ST.
900 bond il the federal authorities
ever catch him out of the criminal
courts, and this will be q hard matter
iuasmuch as Murphy is now being
confined in Jail at Clinton serving out
a 5000 fine for Bookkeeping. At Hick-
man he stands under $500 fine and
at Mayfeld has fines aggreeating
5000 with ten more indictments TO be
heard from standing against him. He
justly deserves the title of king OF
Bootlcggers" and is proud Of it too.
When speaking upon the continu-
ance this morning Judge Evans stated
that he would certainly fine Murphy
the fullest penalty il the jury found
him guilty. He ordered Major Saun'
ders, who brought Murphy to the city
from Hickman, to return him to that
city. end clearly expressed his incli-
nation to give Murphy the fullest
penalty because of his frequent ap'
peaiance before the court for viola
ton of the revenue laws. Murphy
was taken back today.

BRYAN ALONE
He Does Not Longer Favor
Hearst's Candidacy.
II Seems Likely That Parker Will BE
Nominated.

Washington, April 20-A bit Of
exceedingly interesting political news
has reached Washington. II is in
effect that Mr.. W. ]. Bryan no longer
looks kindly upon the Hearst boom for
president. 1t is related that several Of
his intimate friends and supporters
have told him plainly that he could
not afford to give aid and encourage
ment to the Hearst circus. In Other
words, they put good sized bug III
Mr.. Brysn's ear as to the personal
and political record of Mr.. W. X.
Hearst.
Since then Mr.. Bryan has been a.
silent as the grave aud has gone or
his farm to work with his men, sbso'
lutely refusing to talk politics witt
anyone.
Thus does it appear now that IN
the ST. Louis convention Mr.. Bryan
will stand almost alone for the old
platform, and even his hair raising
and thrilling orstory will fail to stir
or sway the convention, sic transit
gloria munda.
1t certainly now looks as IL Judge
Parker would be nominated, but you
cannot tell yet for certainty. With
all OF the talk about Parker, there
are still . good many able and far
seeing Democrats who believe that
Senator German would, after all,
make the most available candidate.
