EnaIlsh and American Abuses.

There Is one form of the abuse Of
wealth in politics from which England
at present is comparatively free. She
does not suffer from the problems Of
corporations In politics. 1t is a rare
thing for a statutory company, such,
for instance, as railway company, or
for joint stock company of any kind,
to contribute from its funds to the
campaign chests of political parties.
The thing is not unknown-there was
o case about a year ago in which the
directors Of one of the great railway
companies were found to have sub
scribed to the moderate party in the
London county council elections. But
on the whole the practice is frowned
upon both by public opinion and by
the general sense of the Commercial!
community. Nor does the political ne
oessity for 1t exist in England. Three
reasons. believe, writes Sydney
Brooks in Harper's Weekly. are usu.
ally given to explain the intimacy OF
the alliance between corporations and
politics in the United States. The
first is that in an expanding, hAlf-de-
veloped country the number OF good
things to be picked up in the way OF
concessions Is beyond comparison
greater than In such land as Eng
land. The second reason why the
trusts cannot leave politics alone In
America is that politics cannot leave
the trusts alone, and their action and
reaction seem to be enormously inten-
sified and complicated by the Ameri'
can system of government in self-con-
tanned compartments.

Congressman Olmsteai asked the
agricultural committee of the house to
tell him how much 1t costs to keep a
hen a year. Whether he wants to keep
a hen and does not wish to go at 1t
blindly. or whether he desires to en-.
gage in a statistical calculation in re-
gard to the poultry industry is not
known. Nor is it important. The sig
nificant thing is that not member of
the committee could tell him what he
wanted to know. One ventured the
opinion that the keep" of a hen costs
next to nothing" while another fixed
the expense at $1.75 a year. What Is
an agricultural committee for, asks the
Indianapolis Star, if it is not primed
on subjects like this; and what does IL
cost to keep a hen, anyway?

Marriage conditions among the poor have
formed the theme of much of my personal re-
search and of many of the reports made to me.
1t is one Of the great-one of the very great and
very grave-Questions of the day.
Marriage among the rich may mean any one
Of many things 1t may mean social or fnan-
cial advancement; 1t may be a mere matter Of
convenience; it may be the outcome of idleness
and propinquity.
But marriage among the poor is the most
cogent means Of reform. By making marriage
universally possible among those who not
blessed with abundance of this worlds goods
the most deadly blow imaginable would be dealt
to vice. The greatest step would by such means
be taken toward vices utter elimination.
Marriage is an honorable estate" and mot to
be entered into lightly" But too often, under
present conditions, the poor cannot afford
to enter into 1t at ALL Yet he perhaps far oftener
than his weather. brother, recognizes the hon
orable" condition of that estate"
I say this advisedly Among the poor infdelity
is far less frequent than among the rich. The
poor man and his wife hold the marriage relation
more sacred than do those of greater worldly
wealth.
1t IL therefore douby unfortunate that q class

ings. Within two months ore ship
ments will be supplied to the full ca
pacity of the Garfield concentrator,
when the figures of production will be
in the neighborhood of IS, 900, 900 pounds

chased for liberal advance.
