Chicago and St. Louis; and the sug-
gestioh became too suggestive.
Perhaps the gold stumbling block
may be removed by the second admin
istration of Roosevelt, as many other
matters may be RELOCATED to con-
gress" as the republican reformers who
arose in opposition to Grant demanded
the protective tariff question should
not go into the platform, as it was
easy to set aside an overheated prob
lem that might be given upt congress.
The question arises whether there is
to be a reorganization of the demo-
cratic party. One state. is not enough
to rule a union of half hundred
states. New York's great city is on the
way to be the greater city of the
world; but the party that puts itself
into the hands Of one state, and that
in he hands of it's chief city, must re-
organize and reconstruct before WIN
ming again the West and South, North
and East The democracy do not need
to go on destroying themselves on the
money standard. They may find in
new leaders better craftsmanship, and
the Roosevelt administration to come
can not fail to present situation OF
the old disestablishn,en that has con-
fused the states and lie sections.
The people in this country and the
states of the Union have thus far been
able TO find the issues that move the
multitudes: and the masterful men,
who by the people and for the people
will know what the people want and
serve them well, will be mighty unto
victory.

Just as I am about to conclude this
article the rupture in the democratic
party claims the attention of the house
Of representatives. Representative Sui
Ivan. of Massachusetts, in replying to
an innocuous paragraph in the New
York American" took occasion to at
tack Mr.. Hearst. Mr.. Sullivan's
speech was elaborate and ornate Its
publishers phrases are now known tt
most newspaper readers.
Mr.. Hearst, unprepared and inexper-
fenced in the arena of debate, replied
briefly and to the point. He explained
that this was the second time he had
been attacked on the fioor-once by a
representative from California, who
was a self-confessed forger. The second
time by-and the New Yorker asked
Mr. Sullivan IL he knew anything of a
murder that had been committed in
Cambridge in 1885. The progressive
democracy, as Hearst loves to call it.
was saved the day. and for the reason
that II Hearst is unpopular with the
criminal classes he can lay claim to
the support of others.

invent pathetic pretenses for staying

Mr.. Williams, the Southern leader.
made sharp rush to save the rout of
the wing of the democratic party that
had guided the line of activities, and
he was SO severely pressed that he
turned upon the republicans who had
carried forward the policy of the pres
ident and extended his congratulations
to the movement. 1t does not seem to
have been an improper occasion for the
honorable leader to have congratulated
the democrats also, who continued the
instalment plan of planting the democ-
racy upon the. Hearst bill.
Mr.. Williams will certainly, when he
regains footing, bind himself to go with
Hearst or Roosevelt, and perhaps need
revenue cutter or steam sporting

In the present cold weather a dozen
or more of the homeless have been TAX
ing refuge every night in the postoffice
where the air Is sell warmed. Though
showing the pinch Of hunger and ex-
posture they seem to be generally Of a
better class than the hoboes who flock
to the city lodging rouse. There is a
sort of shabby respectability about
their makeup.
The wonder Is when or where they
sleep. They have to remain standing

The wave of crime that is sweeping
over New York, general civil demorali-
zation, police corruption and the fall
ing off of attendance at the churches
have convinced prominent clergymen
that the metropolis is in need Of a re-
ligious awakening. and they have
planned series OF revival meetings to
be held during lent in Madison Square
garden and the Carnegie lyceum, on a
scale which has never before been at
tempted in the country. Among the
New York clergymen interested in the
movement are Doctor Macarthur, the
Rev. DR.. Holloway, the Rev. DR.. George
Pentecost and the Rev. DR.. James
Hughes. 1t is announced that the serv-
ices Of every noted evangelistic worker
in the country is to be secured. From
England and Scotland, too, Presbyter-
ian and Baptist workers are coming to
help reclaim New York from the SLOUGH
in which the preachers say it has
fallen.

A story explanatory of the evident
disinclination Of the republican leaders
to order a legislative investigation Of
the gas situation in this city, is going
the rounds in political circles. Years
ago. it is said. Governor Odell made a
deal with Richard Croker by which the
party of the first part promised that
there should be no more state investi-
cations OF New York city, and there
has been none since the Mazet fiasco.
II Is said that after the election of
Oden as governor Richard Croker
wanted to have an understanding over
some machine nominations for legis-
lative committeeman and made known
his wishes. They were legitimate and
were granted. During the negotiations
Mr.. Croker called attention to the fact
that he had not permitted any villifi-
cation Of Odell during the campaign.
The governor acknowledged the fact
and expressed his wish to reciprocate
IN Kind. Mr.Croker said he wanted the
Albany government to keep its hands
on New York city. Mr.. Odell consent.
ed and is keeping his promise to this
day.

Advocates of a law that would pre-
vent wildcat" incorporation assert
that New York and other states could
not do better than follow the English
law requires that all the work Of the
promoter shall be done in the open and
that the intending purchaser Of shares
shall have full information as to the
method by which the promoter has ar
rived at his conclusion regarding the
value Of the properties combined. II
Is required also that the contracts for
the purchase Of different properties by
a holding company shall be filed in the
once Of the public registrar Of joint
stock companies, where they can be ex-
amined by the public. Inaccuracy OF
statement Is penalized.
The German law Is so strict on the
subject that the promoter. as he has
been known in England and. as he is
known at present in the United States
does not appear prominently In connec-
ton with the organization Of industrial
combinatios. Under the German Law
all the profits of the promoter must be
made matter Of public record. Stock
watering is said to be practically un-
known in Germany, owing to the
stringency Of the law against over cap
italization.

The ONCE manager, however. with

he could do for the visitor. The man
reached into the pockets Of his patched
trousers and produced a roll of bills
OF such size as fairly to overcome
every one in the room. He wanted to
buy something or other. to which no
one paid any attention. When the or

not been back since. but his purchase

NEW YORK, Feb. ga stringent
stock corporation law, based upon the
English and German acts may be
placed upon the statute books of the
state of New York. A professor in the
New York university, whose speciality
is corporation law. is the author of the
measure and it has been approved by
New York. 1t promises to be one Of
the most important bills to come before
the legislature at this session. Pub
licity is the keynote of the bill, which
would make a repetition Of such cor
porate scandals as the ship building
trust impossible.
According to it's terms. every newly
organized corporation. combination. or
association Of corporations that offers
its shares for sale to the public shall
issue a prospectus which shall show
the names and addresses of the pro-
moters, their compensation and the
extent Of the interest of the directors
in the organization. The estimated
amount of the preliminary expense.
the price at which the stock is to be
sold and whether there is to be a bonus
Of any kind to any person; the names
and addresses Of persons from whom
the property is to be acquired and a
description OF the property and the
consideration to be paid. and the dates
! and names of any parties to any con-
| tracts relating to a corporation must
also be sent forth. There is a provision
| which penalties directors. promoters
and incorporators for any misrepre-
sentation. either directly in the pros
pectus or indirectly by the omission of
information when such omission might
end to mislead the public. The bill is
upon the lines Of recommendations
made by the United States Industrial
commission.
