canst provide us with a feed lawyer,
a bribed judge, a packed jury, and we
are allowed to go scot free.
Be with us, we pray thee, in all thy

shall lift the veil Of penury and want
with that heavenly radiance and Gauss
our hearts to sing for joy.

Thou art, Almighty Dollar, the god

ANENT POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS.

loaded with legal and political talent,
to the scene of a nominating onven
ton, and making it a consulting and
free dining room until the nomination
is mades
Corporate interests are now our
most important interests. They do not
necessarily conflict with the public in
t~erests, although as a rule they seem
to be made to do so. Stockholders in
corporations are as much entitled to
be heard on matters of public policy rs
owners of farms. The corporations. as
such, ought not to be permitted to
contribute for political purposes, be-
cause, if they are permitted, the size
of the contributions which they are
able to make will, human nature being
what it is, give them undue influence
in political affairs, because their thar
tiers do not authorize them to engage
in political contests and because it
may easily happen that the stockhold-
ers may be divided in the political de-
sires and the money of the minority
be used to defeat it's political wishes.
An effective law to accomplish the
end for which this law purports to be
framed would make it an offense eth
err to give or receive the political con
tributon, would clearly and complete
ly define what constitutes political ex
penditure and would compel, at the
close of a campaign, the publication
of the names of all contributors and
the amounts contributed, and also the
details of expenditures and the per-
sons who received pay. And it would
give some official authority to exam
inc books, and make it his duty to
prosecute offenses.-San Francisco
Chronicle.
