Corporations, anA especially combinations of corporations, should be managed under public regulation. Experience has sl|own that under our system of government the necessary supervision cannot be obtained by state action. It must therefore bo achieved by national action. Our aim is not to do away with corporations. On the contrnry, these big aggregations are an Inevitable development of modern Industrialism, and the effort to destroy them would be futile unless accomplished in waya that would work the utmost mischief to the entire body politic. We can do nothing of good In the way of regulating and supervising these corporations until wo fix clearly In our minds that we aro not attacking the corporations, but endoavoring to do away with any evil in them. We are not hostile to them. We arc merely determined that they shall be so handled as to subserve the public good. We draw tho line against misconduct, not against wealth. The capitalist who, alone or In conjunction with his fellows, performs somo great industrial feat by which he wins money Is a welldoer, not a wrongdoer. provided only he works in proper and legitimate lines. We wish to favor such a man when he does well. We wish to supervise and control his actions only to prevent him from doing ill. Publicity can do no harm to the honest corporation, and we need not be overtender about sparing the dishonest corporation. TODAY'S DOINGS IN CONGRESS BUND CHAPLAIN RE8IQN8.

Ill Health C»mn Retirement of a "grandfather of Con«ren»." Santa Barbara, Cal., Dec. 2.—Ill health was the reason given for his resignation as chaplain of the United States senate by Rev. William Henry Milburn in an interview at his temporary residence In this city. Dr. Milburn said he decided two months ago to withdraw from the service which he entered in 1845. He determined on this course when he discovered his falling health would prevent hia returning to Washington this winter. 1ESSAGE. The Attendance Was Rather Slim.

Boston, Dec. 2.—Considerable progress was made for the opening day in the trial of J. Wilfrid Blondiu, the alleged wife murderer, the Jury being impaneled, the opening plea made by Assistant District Attorney John D. McLaughlin, in which the government's case was outlined, and a motion granted providing for a view of the several premises in this city and Chelmsford, Mass., wherein it is contended Mrs. Blondln was murdered, her body mutilated and packed in a trunk and where the body was found under a brush heap and the head in a brook. In selecting a jury Blondln had the right to twenty-two challenges, and he had made this number when 130 talesmen had been called and only eight Jurors were in the box. The jury was completed from the next fifteen men called. The schooner Aloha, one of the consorts which the Hebard had in tow, broke away from the steamer in Lake Superior and has not been heard from since. She had" seven persons in her crew. When last sighted, she was laboring heavily in the trough of the sea, and little hope is entertained for her safety. If she is lost, twenty-one persons have probably perished. 9x12.

QUESTION OF THE TARIFF Representative Perkins (R.), of New York, today Introduced a bill in the House repealing the duties on coal and meats. The House committee on judiciary today decided that all bills dealing with the trust question should be referred to a sub-committee, of which Representative Llttlefield, of Maine, is chairman. Mr. Littlefleld himself is the. framer of one of the most important anti-trust bills pending. Full Lint of Linoleums. People's Store, Williams & McAnulty No more important subject can come before the congress than this of the regulation of Interstate business. This country cannot afford tor sit supine on the plea that under our peculiar system of government we aro helpless in the presence of the new conditions and unable to grapple with them or to cut out whatever of evil has arisen In connection with them. The power of the congress to regulate Interstate commerce is an absolute and unquallfled grant and without limitations other than those prescribed by the constitution. The congress has constitutional authority to make all laws necessary and proper for executing this power, and I am watlsfled that this power has not been exhausted by any legislation now on the statute books. It is evident, therefore, that evils restrictive of commercial freedom and entailing restraint upon national commerce fall within the regulative power of the congress and that a wise and reasonable law would be a necessary and proper exercise of congressional authority to the end that such evils should be eradicated.The schooners Warmington and Francomb, the other vesdSs of the tow, ran before the gale after breaking away from the steamer and finally succeeded in reaching an anchorage at Copper Mine point.

Generally—Reciprocity With Cuba New York, Dec. 2.—The jury in the case of Mrs. Jennie Leys against the New York Central railroad, for the death of lier husband in the tunnel accident in this city last winter, today returned' a verdict of $100,000 for the plaintiff, with interest from Jan. 8 last. The suit was brought for $250,000. A motion to set aside the verdict was denied, but a stay of 45 days was granted. When day dawned, the wreck of the Hebard was discovered on the shore, with only the smokestack and pilot house out of the water. Again Urged—The Isthmian Canal Alleged Grave Robber on Trial. Indiunapolis, Ind., Dec. 2.—The first of the trials of alleged grave robbers and their patrons has begun before Judge Bailey. Dr. Joseph C. Alexander, demonstrator of anatomy at the Central College of PhyslcianB and Surgeons, is the defendant. There were three indictments against him charging him with robbing a grave and buying and concealing the body of Rose Neldlinger, taken from a local cemetery. The prosecution filed an affidavit against Dr. Alexander, sworn to by Detective Mauning, who, with Detective Asch, searched the medical college for stolen bodies. The body of Rose Neidlinger was found in the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons.

I believe that monopolies, unjust discriminations, which prevent or crlppls competition, fraudulent overcapitalization end other evils in trust organizations and practices which injuriously affect interstate trade can be prevented under the power of the congress to "regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several statos" through regulations and requirements operating directly upon such commerce, the instrumentalities thereof and those engaged therein. I earnestly recommend this subject to the consideration of the congress with a view to the passage of a law reasonable in its provisions and effective in its operations, jpon which the questions can be Anally idjudlcated that now raise doubts as to .he necessity of constitutional amendment. If it prove impossible to accomplish the purposes above set forth by such a law, tnen assuredly we should not shrink from amending the constitution so as to secure beyond peradventure the power sought. The congress has not heretofore made any appropriation for the better enforcement of the antitrust law as it now stands. Very much has been done by the department of justice in-securing the enforcement of this law, but much more could be done if congress would make a special appropriation for this purpose, to be expended under the direction of the attorney general. One proposition advocated has been the reduction of the tariff as a means of reaching the evils of the trusts which fall within the category I have described. Not merely would this be wholly ineffective, but the diversion of our efforts In such a direction would mean the abandonment of all intelligent attempt to do away with these evils. Many oC the largest corporations, many of those which should certainly be included in any proper scheme of regulation, would not be affected in the slightest degree by a change in the tariff, save as such change interfered with the general prosperity of the country. The only relation of the tariff to big corporations as a whole is that the tariff makes manufactures profitable, and the tariff remedy proposed would be in effect simply to make manufactures unprofitable. To remove the tariff as a punitive measure directed against trusts would inevitably result in ruin to the weaker competitors who are struggling against them. Our aim should be not by unwise tariff changes to give foreign products the advantage over domestic products. but by proper regulation to give domestic competition a fair chance, and this end cannot be reached by any tariff changes which would affect unfavorably all domestic competitors, good and bad alike. The question of regulation of the trusts stands apart from the question of tariff revision. AlasM.

Washington, Dec. 2.—The monthly statement of the public debt shows that at the close of business Nov. 29, 1002, the debt, less cash In the treasury, amounted to $958,097,281, which Is a decrease for the month of $410,- 440. The cash in the trensury is classified as follows: Gold reserve fund, $150,000,000; trust funds, $869,280,509; general fund, $145,458,830; In national bank depositories, $148,911,318; total, $1,313,006,717. It now seems certain that the wreckage found by the steamer Rockefeller in the middle of Lake Superior marked the watery graves of the steamer and her crew. As the waters of Lake Superior reach their greatest depth at that point it is probable that none of the bodies will ever be recovered. The City Buss, Tailor.

BURKE & SON As a people we have played a large part in the world, and we are bent upon making our future even larger than the past. In particular the events of the last four years have detlnttely decided that for woe or for weal our place must be great among the nations. We mar either fall greatiy or succeed greatly, but we cannot avokl the endeavor from vyhlch either great failure or great success must come. Kven if we would we cannot play a small part. If wo should try, all that would follow would bo that we should play a large part ignobly and shamefully. But our peoplo, the sons of the men of the civil war, the sons of the men who had Iron In their blood, rejoice in the present and face the future high of heart and resolute of will. Ours is not the creed of tho weakling and the coward; ours is the gospel of hope and of triumphant endeavor. ■ We do not shrink from the struggle beforo us. There are many problems for us to face at the outset of the twentieth century—grave problems abroad and still graver at home-"-but we know that we can solve them, and solve them well, provided only that we bring to the solution the Qualities of head and. heart which were shown by the men who In the days of Washington founded this government and in the days of Lincoln preserved it. NO country has ever occupied a higher plane of material well being than ours at the present moment. This well being Is due tp no sudden or accidental causes, but to tho play of the economic forces In this country for over a century; to our laws, our sustained and continuous policies; above all, to the high Individual average of our citizenship. Great fortunes have been won by those who have taken the lead in this phenomenal Industrial development, and most of these fortunes have been won not by doing evil, but as an incident to action which has beneiited the community as a whole. Never before has material well being been so widely diffused among our people. Great fortunes have been accumulated, and yet In the aggregate these fortunes are small indeed when compared to the wealth of the people as a whole. The plain people are better off than they have ever been before. The insurance companies, which are practically mutual benefit societies— especially helpful to men of moderate means—represent accumulations of capital which are among the largest In this country. There are more deposits In the savings banks, owners of farms, more well paid wageworkers In this country now than ever before In our history. Of oourae when the conditions have favored the growth of so much that was irood they have also favored somewhat Oie growth of what was evil. It la eminently necessary that we should endeavor to out out this evil, but let us keep a due sense Of proportion; let us not In fixing ourgaze upon the lesser evil forget the Greater good. The evils are real, and some of them are menacing, but they are "he outgrowth not of misery or decadence, but of prosperity, of the progress of our gigantic industrial development. This lnaUstriai development must not be checked, S„7 VMfl bv side with it should go such nroirresslve regulation as will diminish ?h« evils. We should fail in our duty if we did not try to remedy the evils, but we Sfni sJceeed only If we proceed patientiv with practical common sense as well «' resolution, separating the good from ?h« bad and holding on to the former while endeavoring to get rid of the latter. In my message to the present congress • t its first session I discussed at length the auestion of the regulation of those Mir corporation* commonly dOin* an interstate business, often with some tendency to monopoly# whioh are popularly known as trusts.

Women love a clear, healthy complexion. Pure blood makes it. Burdock Blood Bitters makes pure blood. Stability of economic policy muat always be tlie prime economic need of this country. Thla.atablllty should not be fossllizatlon. The country has acquiesced in the wisdom of the protective tariff principle. It is exceedingly undesirable that this system should be destroyed or that there should be violent and radical changes therein. Our past experience shows that great prosperity in this country has always come underaprotective tariff and that the country cannot prosper under fitful tariff changes at short intervals. Moreover, If the tariff laws as a whole work well and if business has prospered under them and la prospering, It is better to endure for a time slight Inconveniences and inequalities in some schedules than to upset business by too quick and too radical changes. It Is moat earnestly to be wished that we could treat the tariff from the standpoint solely of our business needs. It Is, perhaps, too much to hope that partisanship may be entirely excluded from consideration of the subject, but at least it can be made secondary to the business Interests of the country—that la. to the Interests of our people as a whole. Unquestionably these business Interests will best be served if together with fixity of principle as regards the tariff we combine a system which will permit us from time to time to malce the necessary reappllcatlon of tha principle to the shifting national ne?ds. We must take scrupulous care that'the reappllcatlon shall be made In such a way that it will not amoUnt to a dislocation of our system, the mere threat of which, not to speak of the performance, would produce paralysis in the business energies of the community. Tho first consideration In making these changes would, of course, be to preserve the principle which underlies our whole tariff system—that Is, the principle of putting American business interests at least on a full equality with Interests abroad and of always allowing a sufficient rate of duty to mora than cover the difference between the labor cost here and abroad. The well being of the wugeworker, like the well being of the tiller ot the soil, ahould be treated as an essential In shaping our whole economic polity. There muat never be any change which will Jeopardize the standard of comfort, the standard ot wages, of the American wageworker. One way in which the readjustment sought can be reached Is by reciprocity treaties. It Is greatly to be desired that such treaties may be adopted.

Corporations, anA especially combinations of corporations, should be managed under public regulation. Experience has sl|own that under our system of government the necessary supervision cannot be obtained by state action. It must therefore bo achieved by national action. Our aim is not to do away with corporations. On the contrnry, these big aggregations are an Inevitable development of modern Industrialism, and the effort to destroy them would be futile unless accomplished in waya that would work the utmost mischief to the entire body politic. We can do nothing of good In the way of regulating and supervising these corporations until wo fix clearly In our minds that we aro not attacking the corporations, but endoavoring to do away with any evil in them. We are not hostile to them. We arc merely determined that they shall be so handled as to subserve the public good. We draw tho line against misconduct, not against wealth. The capitalist who, alone or In conjunction with his fellows, performs somo great industrial feat by which he wins money Is a welldoer, not a wrongdoer. provided only he works in proper and legitimate lines. We wish to favor such a man when he does well. We wish to supervise and control his actions only to prevent him from doing ill.

Ill Health C»mn Retirement of a "grandfather of Con«ren»." Santa Barbara, Cal., Dec. 2.—Ill health was the reason given for his resignation as chaplain of the United States senate by Rev. William Henry Milburn in an interview at his temporary residence In this city. Dr. Milburn said he decided two months ago to withdraw from the service which he entered in 1845. He determined on this course when he discovered his falling health would prevent hia returning to Washington this winter. 1ESSAGE. The Attendance Was Rather Slim.

Boston, Dec. 2.—Considerable progress was made for the opening day in the trial of J. Wilfrid Blondiu, the alleged wife murderer, the Jury being impaneled, the opening plea made by Assistant District Attorney John D. McLaughlin, in which the government's case was outlined, and a motion granted providing for a view of the several premises in this city and Chelmsford, Mass., wherein it is contended Mrs. Blondln was murdered, her body mutilated and packed in a trunk and where the body was found under a brush heap and the head in a brook. In selecting a jury Blondln had the right to twenty-two challenges, and he had made this number when 130 talesmen had been called and only eight Jurors were in the box. The jury was completed from the next fifteen men called. The schooner Aloha, one of the consorts which the Hebard had in tow, broke away from the steamer in Lake Superior and has not been heard from since. She had" seven persons in her crew. When last sighted, she was laboring heavily in the trough of the sea, and little hope is entertained for her safety. If she is lost, twenty-one persons have probably perished. 9x12.

QUESTION OF THE TARIFF Representative Perkins (R.), of New York, today Introduced a bill in the House repealing the duties on coal and meats.

People's Store, Williams & McAnulty No more important subject can come before the congress than this of the regulation of Interstate business. This country cannot afford tor sit supine on the plea that under our peculiar system of government we aro helpless in the presence of the new conditions and unable to grapple with them or to cut out whatever of evil has arisen In connection with them. The power of the congress to regulate Interstate commerce is an absolute and unquallfled grant and without limitations other than those prescribed by the constitution. The congress has constitutional authority to make all laws necessary and proper for executing this power, and I am watlsfled that this power has not been exhausted by any legislation now on the statute books. It is evident, therefore, that evils restrictive of commercial freedom and entailing restraint upon national commerce fall within the regulative power of the congress and that a wise and reasonable law would be a necessary and proper exercise of congressional authority to the end that such evils should be eradicated.The schooners Warmington and Francomb, the other vesdSs of the tow, ran before the gale after breaking away from the steamer and finally succeeded in reaching an anchorage at Copper Mine point.

The suit was brought for $250,000. A motion to set aside the verdict was denied, but a stay of 45 days was granted. When day dawned, the wreck of the Hebard was discovered on the shore, with only the smokestack and pilot house out of the water. Again Urged—The Isthmian Canal Alleged Grave Robber on Trial. Indiunapolis, Ind., Dec. 2.—The first of the trials of alleged grave robbers and their patrons has begun before Judge Bailey. Dr. Joseph C. Alexander, demonstrator of anatomy at the Central College of PhyslcianB and Surgeons, is the defendant. There were three indictments against him charging him with robbing a grave and buying and concealing the body of Rose Neldlinger, taken from a local cemetery. The prosecution filed an affidavit against Dr. Alexander, sworn to by Detective Mauning, who, with Detective Asch, searched the medical college for stolen bodies. The body of Rose Neidlinger was found in the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons.

I believe that monopolies, unjust discriminations, which prevent or crlppls competition, fraudulent overcapitalization end other evils in trust organizations and practices which injuriously affect interstate trade can be prevented under the power of the congress to "regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several statos" through regulations and requirements operating directly upon such commerce, the instrumentalities thereof and those engaged therein. I earnestly recommend this subject to the consideration of the congress with a view to the passage of a law reasonable in its provisions and effective in its operations, jpon which the questions can be Anally idjudlcated that now raise doubts as to .he necessity of constitutional amendment. If it prove impossible to accomplish the purposes above set forth by such a law, tnen assuredly we should not shrink from amending the constitution so as to secure beyond peradventure the power sought. The congress has not heretofore made any appropriation for the better enforcement of the antitrust law as it now stands. Very much has been done by the department of justice in-securing the enforcement of this law, but much more could be done if congress would make a special appropriation for this purpose, to be expended under the direction of the attorney general. One proposition advocated has been the reduction of the tariff as a means of reaching the evils of the trusts which fall within the category I have described. Not merely would this be wholly ineffective, but the diversion of our efforts In such a direction would mean the abandonment of all intelligent attempt to do away with these evils. Many oC the largest corporations, many of those which should certainly be included in any proper scheme of regulation, would not be affected in the slightest degree by a change in the tariff, save as such change interfered with the general prosperity of the country. The only relation of the tariff to big corporations as a whole is that the tariff makes manufactures profitable, and the tariff remedy proposed would be in effect simply to make manufactures unprofitable. To remove the tariff as a punitive measure directed against trusts would inevitably result in ruin to the weaker competitors who are struggling against them. Our aim should be not by unwise tariff changes to give foreign products the advantage over domestic products. but by proper regulation to give domestic competition a fair chance, and this end cannot be reached by any tariff changes which would affect unfavorably all domestic competitors, good and bad alike. The question of regulation of the trusts stands apart from the question of tariff revision. AlasM.

Washington, Dec. 2.—The monthly statement of the public debt shows that at the close of business Nov. 29, 1002, the debt, less cash In the treasury, amounted to $958,097,281, which Is a decrease for the month of $410,- 440. The cash in the trensury is classified as follows: Gold reserve fund, $150,000,000; trust funds, $869,280,509; general fund, $145,458,830; In national bank depositories, $148,911,318; total, $1,313,006,717. It now seems certain that the wreckage found by the steamer Rockefeller in the middle of Lake Superior marked the watery graves of the steamer and her crew. As the waters of Lake Superior reach their greatest depth at that point it is probable that none of the bodies will ever be recovered. The City Buss, Tailor.

BURKE & SON As a people we have played a large part in the world, and we are bent upon making our future even larger than the past. In particular the events of the last four years have detlnttely decided that for woe or for weal our place must be great among the nations. We mar either fall greatiy or succeed greatly, but we cannot avokl the endeavor from vyhlch either great failure or great success must come. Kven if we would we cannot play a small part. If wo should try, all that would follow would bo that we should play a large part ignobly and shamefully. But our peoplo, the sons of the men of the civil war, the sons of the men who had Iron In their blood, rejoice in the present and face the future high of heart and resolute of will. Ours is not the creed of tho weakling and the coward; ours is the gospel of hope and of triumphant endeavor. ■ We do not shrink from the struggle beforo us. There are many problems for us to face at the outset of the twentieth century—grave problems abroad and still graver at home-"-but we know that we can solve them, and solve them well, provided only that we bring to the solution the Qualities of head and. heart which were shown by the men who In the days of Washington founded this government and in the days of Lincoln preserved it. NO country has ever occupied a higher plane of material well being than ours at the present moment. This well being Is due tp no sudden or accidental causes, but to tho play of the economic forces In this country for over a century; to our laws, our sustained and continuous policies; above all, to the high Individual average of our citizenship. Great fortunes have been won by those who have taken the lead in this phenomenal Industrial development, and most of these fortunes have been won not by doing evil, but as an incident to action which has beneiited the community as a whole. Never before has material well being been so widely diffused among our people. Great fortunes have been accumulated, and yet In the aggregate these fortunes are small indeed when compared to the wealth of the people as a whole. The plain people are better off than they have ever been before. The insurance companies, which are practically mutual benefit societies— especially helpful to men of moderate means—represent accumulations of capital which are among the largest In this country. There are more deposits In the savings banks, owners of farms, more well paid wageworkers In this country now than ever before In our history. Of oourae when the conditions have favored the growth of so much that was irood they have also favored somewhat Oie growth of what was evil. It la eminently necessary that we should endeavor to out out this evil, but let us keep a due sense Of proportion; let us not In fixing ourgaze upon the lesser evil forget the Greater good. The evils are real, and some of them are menacing, but they are "he outgrowth not of misery or decadence, but of prosperity, of the progress of our gigantic industrial development. This lnaUstriai development must not be checked, S„7 VMfl bv side with it should go such nroirresslve regulation as will diminish ?h« evils. We should fail in our duty if we did not try to remedy the evils, but we Sfni sJceeed only If we proceed patientiv with practical common sense as well «' resolution, separating the good from ?h« bad and holding on to the former while endeavoring to get rid of the latter. In my message to the present congress • t its first session I discussed at length the auestion of the regulation of those Mir corporation* commonly dOin* an interstate business, often with some tendency to monopoly# whioh are popularly known as trusts.

Women love a clear, healthy complexion. Pure blood makes it. Burdock Blood Bitters makes pure blood. Stability of economic policy muat always be tlie prime economic need of this country. Thla.atablllty should not be fossllizatlon. The country has acquiesced in the wisdom of the protective tariff principle. It is exceedingly undesirable that this system should be destroyed or that there should be violent and radical changes therein. Our past experience shows that great prosperity in this country has always come underaprotective tariff and that the country cannot prosper under fitful tariff changes at short intervals. Moreover, If the tariff laws as a whole work well and if business has prospered under them and la prospering, It is better to endure for a time slight Inconveniences and inequalities in some schedules than to upset business by too quick and too radical changes. It Is moat earnestly to be wished that we could treat the tariff from the standpoint solely of our business needs. It Is, perhaps, too much to hope that partisanship may be entirely excluded from consideration of the subject, but at least it can be made secondary to the business Interests of the country—that la. to the Interests of our people as a whole. Unquestionably these business Interests will best be served if together with fixity of principle as regards the tariff we combine a system which will permit us from time to time to malce the necessary reappllcatlon of tha principle to the shifting national ne?ds. We must take scrupulous care that'the reappllcatlon shall be made In such a way that it will not amoUnt to a dislocation of our system, the mere threat of which, not to speak of the performance, would produce paralysis in the business energies of the community. Tho first consideration In making these changes would, of course, be to preserve the principle which underlies our whole tariff system—that Is, the principle of putting American business interests at least on a full equality with Interests abroad and of always allowing a sufficient rate of duty to mora than cover the difference between the labor cost here and abroad. The well being of the wugeworker, like the well being of the tiller ot the soil, ahould be treated as an essential In shaping our whole economic polity. There muat never be any change which will Jeopardize the standard of comfort, the standard ot wages, of the American wageworker. One way in which the readjustment sought can be reached Is by reciprocity treaties. It Is greatly to be desired that such treaties may be adopted.
