NOTHING TO BE GAINED.

The incorporation Of the stock EX-
change is being urged now chiefly on
the ground that there IS no argument
against il. We do not c0ncede that
there i no argument against IL. We
think that there are strong arguments
against it. But even if there were none
that would be poor reason for com
pelling incorporation. When the state
adopts a policy il must be because
there are good reasons for adopting II.
not because there are no reasons
against adopting IT, And we have
failed 10 learn Of any good reason for
forcing the exchange to INCORPORATE.
The evils about stock speculation
which have been n source Of complaint
and for which the state Is now seek
ine cure are not evils which in
CORPORATION would cure Several of
Governor Suffers bills aim AT these
evils. and with the purpose Of these
bills The Tribune has the heartieSt
sympathy. If the state can secure the
evidence Of the violation Of the proh-
billions in these bills il can punish the
guilty and st can thus put stop 10 the
abuses connected with speculation
Ii is all a question Of obtaining evil
dence But we are unable 10 see how
incorporation Of the exchange would
make ii one bit easier 10 obtain the
evidence of wrongdOing than ii now Is.
Rigging the market will not appear on
the records Of the corporation if the
exchange becomes a corporation. Had
the Stock Exchange been Incorporated
when the Hooking pool operations were
going on we do not see how the state
authorities would have been in any
better position 10 learn Of the fictitious
character of that transaction in time 10
prevent its being carried through TO its
unfortunate end than they were with
the exchange unincorporated.
The Stock Exchange corporation
would do certain things. It would own
the building where stock speculation
was conducted. II would conduct a
sort Of banking business, under the
pending bill. But the corporation IT,
self would not go on the floor and trade
in stocks. Its books and records would
throw no more light on what happened
on the floor than the books and records
of an incorporated club throw upon the
stories told in the clubs smoking room.

THE BRIGHT SIDE.

The story of the maroOned victims of
the Ohio floods has not yet been told.
We have heard of people in Dayton
going crazy and of others committing
suicide from the horror Of their eX-
periences. all Of which stories. we
think. bear the mark of q conventional
Imagination. We will venture to say
that very little suicide or insanity will
be found TO have resulted hut, on the
contrary. that there was everywhere a
brave and cheerful acceptance OF con-
ditions. hard as they were. after the
usual courageous American fashion.
A private letter from Columbus de-
scribes the writer as passing in boat
through the flooded part of that city
and being saluted by people waiting in
the upper stories Of their homes for
the floods to leave the lower floors with
the shout, We are happy but hungry.
Another little incident reported from
Dayton throws a similar light on the
spirit with which men waited there for

CHINESE RECOGNITION.

The administration probably acts
wisely, for two reasons, in postponing
for few days the formal recognition
Of the Chinese Republic. One reason
is that the first real Parliament of
China IS to assemble. having for its
first duty the election of a President
TO succeed Mr. Yuan. whose term ex-
pires. The achievement of that func-
ton in an orderly and constitutional
manner may well be regarded as the
final demonstration OF the republican
governments stability and efficiency
and its wOrthiness to receive recOgni-
ton.
The other reason is that the natural
and most felicitous manner of signify
ing recognition will be 10 accredit a
Minister TO the government Of the
Chinese Republic. instead of to the
imperial government. 1t Is assumed
