Ex-President Harrison recently de
livered a lecture before 1 tie Michigan
University on (lie subject, 'Corpora
tion Law mid Tax Ijiw Keform," and
the New Orleans Times-lk.'mocrat com
mt'Di x (hi It as follow:
Tlit points lie clilelly dwelt on and
elaborated wore, fiiiU, t lie admitted
need of reform of corporation law and
tax law, and, second, the reasons why
the reform Ik not carried out, and be
wound up with unrest ions looking lu
the direction of bringing about the de
sired teforui.
Every lDH'lHi;'iit person Is aware
that (orponttions control not only our
railroads and banks, but almost every
form of manufacturing and mercantile
adventure. They organize themselves
in trusts, which, under the pretense of
reducing the cost of production of arti
cles, crush out eompetl.lon and impose
what prices it picnics them to impose
on articles of general consiimitlou. Ev
erybody knows what the methods of
pcration of these corporations are, as
everybody has to a greater or less ex
tent suffered from them. Not only are
they crushing out competition, they
are crushing out the independent spirit
of Americans.
Supposing, for example, that a gro
cer in tlie city of New Orleans were to
insist oil selling sugar at a llgure be
low that quoted ntid dictated to him by
tin? sugar refinery combine (the sugar
trust), what do wo suppose would bo
the result to him? He would be Incon
tinently ruined by the trust, which
would undersell him on every hand un
til it had forced him out of business
and driven him to the wall. And there
can bo no commercial independence, of
course, where this state of tilings pre
vails. Headers are equally well aware that
the poor or humbler section of the com
munity Is taxed for more heavily tlia'n
the rich. The law takes only really,
which cannot be concealed, but it touch,
es not personality, which belongs al
most exclusively to tlu wealthy. The
wealthy thus escape taxation on otie
balf of their accumulated properly,
while thi' poor are taxed on all of
theirs. Comptroller Ilolx-rts, of New
York, put himself on record the oilier
day to the effect Hint in IKi.j the tax
able value of realty in the Empire
itato was close upon $-1,000,000,000,
and that the taxable value of person
alty was less than $.-ni,i)0,j)(l in the
same year, but hi; declared that the
value of the personalty in the State
was at any rate qui to equal to the val
ue of tlie realty.
Now, as ex-President Harrison said,
"live-sixths of the voters of the conn
try favor a rev ision of corporation laws,
limiting the purposes for which corpo
rations may In; organized, supervising
the issuing of stocks and bonds and
putting other restraints upon them. An
even larger proportion of our people
would give their emphatic support to
the proposition that tax burdens should
fall equally on ail property. They do
not now, as every one knows. Lands,
houses, live stock and Implements of
trade cannot be hidden. Stocks and
" bonds can be, and the assessor has uo
way of checking tlie list."
Hut while the Injustice of corpora
tion legislation and tax legislation is
to be fought and fought strenuously, it
must bo fought discreetly and Intelli
gently, not as a red rag Is rushed at
by a bull. The ex -President suggests
teven cardinal points to be iKirne care
fully In mind when such legislation Is
to be attacked:
Eirst The people have not only author
ized, but invited, the organization of and
the investment in these corporations.
Second That tlie bankruptcy of any
legitimate business in a public injury.
Third That we must tk those thing
an our un vvUdom, or that of our fathom,
ha made them. A to the pnl, wo can
do little more than mend.
Fourth That the work of reforming our
corporation iuws is not for apprentices.
Fifth That corporation law should he
general. It is neither wise nor safe to as
sume that a particular ciiso is a rep rc
aeiitative one, and to administer the rem
edy promiscuously.
Sixth That in public nfTnir the best at
tainable good Is the thing to be sought.
Seventh That the legislation must bo
just
The reason that corporation law and
tax law reform has not appreciably
progressed, all hough legislation has
been enacted both by the Congress of
the United States and by a number of
State Legislatures, Is that the legisla
tive bodlea are not of much account,
according to the ex-President, and that,
being untrained In great measure, they
bungle their legislative work nnd leave
It In a condition easy to be picked Jo
pieces by corporation counsel, who,
Mr. Harrison nays, are about the
brightest Intellect in the United
States,
Bherman's anti-trust law of 1800 has
been all but a complete failure. There
never has been a conviction, as far as
we have beard, obtained under It, al
though trusts have doubled In number
since Ita enactment, until this last
week, when the Western Joint Traffic
Association the most Innocent of all
combinations wss pronounced by the
Supremo Court of the United States to
be Illegal. The Bute of New York has

Nnthlne for the People.
It lb strange how dead Mr. Dingle
and the other Republican leaders are to
the significance of contemporary fa"ts.
At the ery Juncture when tlie Supreme
Court of the United States has struck
an astonishing and shattering blow to
the organization of bushiest on the plan
of conspiracies to prevent com petit Ion,
we see the newly restored party putting
all Its isnvers at the service of the
trusts, and devoting its energies openly
to the framing of a scheme of taxation
which is obviously and notoriously bas
ed on the undemocratic and nefarious
principle of public taxation for private
profit
The party, apparently without the
slightest consciousness of what It Is
really about, is sentencing the protec
tive system to death and committing
suicide. The people are swiftly coming
by evolution to the point where they
will determine whether they are to rule
the trusts or permit the trusts to rule
them, and the liepublicnn party in Con
gress is going ahead In tlie sight of all
men doing Its best to strengthen and
arm the trusts for the battle with the
people. New York Journal.
Oppreaaive Taxation.
In an exhaustive discussion of tlie
principles of taxation by Mr. David A.
Wells, now running In The Popular Sci
ence Monthly, the principle Is asserted
and HUpiiorted with a wealth of political
authority and legal decisions that the
rightful objwt of taxation is the sup
port of government and lis limit the
actual needs of government.
It is ukii this sound principle that
the Democrats of the House founded
their protect n gainst the Dingley tariff
bill. They show that tne Republican
tariff bill violates the principle in both
ways. It. levies taxes for the benefit of
private enterprise and levies far more
than the support of the Government re
quires. In effect, It collects a bounty
for distribution to favored Individuals,
and In order that this may be done pro
poses taxes from SiiO.OOt 1,000 to $7.

will be noted In this connection that
Investors are anxious to place their

The Worst So Far.
The highest rate of duty that lias so
far been discovered in the Dingley bill

buttons for underwear. Tlx; present

Is not the worst that is In the bill, but
if there Is anything worse It has not

London to Have a University.
There is reason to believe that the
sixtieth year of Queen Victoria's reign
is to be made memorable by the estab
lishment in London of a great teaching
university. Tbe London university lias
existed since 183(1, but its function has
always been limited to the examina
tion of candidates and the conferring
of degrees. This restriction has made
It an imperial rather than a local or
metropolitan Institution. Its examina
tions have, Indeed, lieen characterized
by thoroughness and fairness, and
have commanded the confidence of
teachers and students In all parts of
the United Kingdom. Still, the feeling
has been growing among scholars that
London should liave an organized uni
versity of Its own, which should fur
nish help and guidance In other ways
than by examinations, and for some
twelve years a movement has been go
ing on to make Ixindon a great seat of
learning.
Want No Immigrant Teachera.
The school teuchers of England fear
that the educational department will

schools of Great Itrltaln teachers hold

education board. They argue that this
would lower the standard of the schools
and Increase the opportunities for theo
logical discussions. The ordinary sal
ary of teachers In Ireland Is about $200
lens than that of the English teacher
of corresponding grade, and this leads
ninny to believe that a considerable Im
migration may be expected. ,

A lad in Boston, rather small for hit
age, works In an office as errand boy
for four gentlemen who do business
there. One day the gentlemen were
chaffing him a little for being so small,
and said to him:
"You will never amount to much, yot
can never do much, yon are too small."
The little fellow looked at them.
"Well," said be, "as small as I am, I
can do something that neither of you
can do."
"Ah, what is that-:" said they.
"I don't know as I ought to tell you,"
he replied.
But they were anxious to know, and
urged him to tell what he could do tho
neither of them were able to do.
"I can keep from swearing," cald the
little fellow.

softening shades
as to leave them
entirely free from
such criticism. To be sure, if some
careless woman rushes into purple,
scarlet or bright green, she will likely
enough devise a dress that will make
the observer's eye ache to the back of
her bead, but occasional examples of
bad taste are always on hand and nev
er yet condemned a tasteful fashion.
Very strong color effects are even now
risked only for the boudoir by women
of goad taste, and while outdoors the
bright colorings are plentiful enough
good management kills all danger of
loudness.
A fine example of this treatment of
a. bright color came in a dress of bright
billiard green c,-"pe cioth. Its texture
was so soft, It was so closely covered
with tiny crepe wrinkles that did not
seem to ridge the surface, that the col
or took on a thousand lights and made
the green harmonize with any shade of
green put with it, and with any other
color, too, as a leaf does on a rose-tree.
The skirt was made over black satin,
the breadths rounded short at waist,
and hem to show the satin. A deep fac
ing of plaid silk reached the knees on
the under side of the skirt, the plaid
showing dark-blue, dark-green, and
linos of scarlet and light-greiin, a tiny
streak of daffodil yellow striping here
and there as inconspicuously as a
streak of sunshine on a lily pad. One
bodice for this skirt was plaid silk,
crossed In a lot of folds over the front,
and fastening under a big frill from
shoulder to belt. The belt was wide,
fitted, and from black satin. A green
cloth bolero, that fastened also at the
side with a series of straps between
which the frill of the silk bodice show
ed, was for wear over this silk bodice
The trick can be done, too, when the
variety of colors is not great, and when
the dominant one Is very brilliant.
Scarlet was tlie color of the dress
goods of the costume pictured in the
initial. The skirt was serge, and had
a row of appliqued black braiding at
the hem. The bodice was cerise taffeta,
was tucked between the bretelles,
gathered at the waist, and held by a
belt of scarlet foulard. The bretelles
of scarlet silk were trimmed with ap
pHipied braiding, and a full ruchinz of
black chiffon finished the neck, h&en

need tioi., however, for scarlet Is to be
so abundant that a dress like that Just

greens, too, the softening trimmings
are often of considerable quantity, and
the second picture is un Illustration of
this point, as it shows a jacket bodice
of almond-green taffeta, freely trim

cut of this handsome bodice, however,
was Uie source of its originality. The
vest was plain green silk, and sailor

collar matched the basque, a small
button trimming each tab and a laee
collar showing from beneath. As yet
there is no reason to doubt the truth of
last winter's prophecy that foretold
high collars and neck swathings for
summer dresses.
Tbe plaids now offered are an attrac
tive lot, and because of the current
standards in coloring they may be
much more freely used than Is the case
in some seasons. Tlaids, of course,
stand for brilliancy, for, plentiful as
the quieter sorts may be, there are sure
to be many .of the striking sort. But,
the hideous ones that fairly give out
an echo are happily few on the count
ers, and are even fewer on women. It
was a very pretty combination of
green, red and blue that in light weight
cloth gave the original of the artist's
third contribution here. A piping of
green cloth finished the skirt at the
hem, and a sleeveless green cloth jacket
was worn outside the simple gathered
bodice. The medici collar was In one
with the jacket, which fastened with
large gilt buttons, and was confined at
the waist by a handsome belt compos
ed of gilt links. While a liking for elab
orations of all sorts prevails In dresses
made from most spring and summer
stuffs, plaids escape this fancy, being
considered, apparently, sufficiently re
moved from plainness, to make highly
wrought effects unnecessary.
A favorite resort of those wrho are a
bit fearful of overdoing bright colors
Is to mask them with a sober but semi
transparent material. This method of
making is highly fashionable, as by It

son bright colors nnd elaborateness
can be combined in one dress. Besides
this point, it has much to recommend
it. Beauty of result is strongly on its
side, and then it affords a fine chance
for her who Is Ingenious as well as of
sound judgment in dress matters. From
the standpoint of economy there is,
perhaps, less to say in its favor. True,
there Is a host of beautiful transparent
fabrics that are stylish and inexpens
ive, but what of saving is scored up by
these is all wiped out by the outlay
necessary for the silken lining. In these
circumstances it is some comfort to
remember that new styles are very sel
dom favorable to economy, and after
taking all possible solace from this
fact the next thing Is to consider how
to do the trick Inexpensively. There
are many models that tend toward this
end, nnd a very pretty one Is chosen
for the fourth Illustration. Its skirt
was black grenadine over salmon silk
lining, three small ruffles of the silk
trimming It near the foot. Shirring on
the back nnd front of the bodice sup
plied a yoke effect, and from this hung
a pleating of salmon chiffon. The
sleeves were gathered to the elbows,
ending in chiffon frills, salmon chiffon
and black chiffon were combined In ths,
collar, and very handsome figured
salmon ribbon gave the belt and the
bows at the shoulders that saved the.
outlines there from bareness. Tight
