In the course of his interview as
published by the Post, Hon. Theo

having said:

This is a scuny slander in all j
prebability: "The one danger in ;
the Nctv York senatorial compli
cation is that if Conkling fails to
secure election by republican
votes, lie will try to make a com
bination with the democrats in the
legislature for the return of him
self with a democratic colleague.
That he cannot be elected in any
other way seems reasonably sure."
Governor Cornells position in this
matter is unquestioned; that he
will throw all the influence he po
sesses into the scale for Conkling
and Piatt, and when the fight be
gins the governor will be found
foremost in the fight, and his po
sition cannot bo mistaken.

Tho Tax on Ships.
The May number of the North
American Review contains a paper
by John Roach, thr iron ship
builder, on the Uestion of free
trade in ships. The question for a
nation to solve that wants to carry
its own products, in its own ships,
Mr. Roach says, K how to build the
ships, not how ro buy them.
France and Germain have had the
full privilege of purchasing ships
in othei countries and yet they do
not carry one-third of their own
products. Norway building her
own shins, owns mote tonnage than
France and Germain combined.
The three ship-building nations are
England, the United Slates and
Norway, and they ate the leading
ship-owning nations. As good
ships can be built in the United
States as anywheri lse in
the world, but Aineiican cap
italists do not want to invest
their money in ships for the princi
pal reason that capital thus in
vested is subjected to excessive
taxation. An American corpora
tion in New York, with 2,000,
000 invested in five steamships,
would be compelled to pay a tax of
two and a half per cent, without
regard to profit and loss on the in
vestment. An English corpora
tion, with the like amount invested
in five ships, would be taxed only
one per cent, on the net earnings.
Assuming the not earnings, to be
eight per cenr , or $1C0,000, the
taxation on the American line
would be $50,000 and on the Eng
lish 61,000, -u discrimination of
48,400 a year against th Ameri
can line. An American line of
fire steamer must pay over 48,
000 for the privilege of eairying
the American flag. Tf our govern
ment would simply place us on
equal condition with the people
of other countries, so that our capi
tal can be put into fair competition
with foreign capital, Mr. Roach is
of opinion that there will be no
difficulty in building up our mer
chant marine to any extent that
may be required.
Attorney General Nash, of Ohio,
has decided that certain matrimo
nial companies of that state can
not be incorporated. All of
these associations had filed ar
ticles of incorporation. The At
torney general advises the secre
tary to refuse to place them on
file. After discussing the legal
points, Mr. Nash says he does not
believd individuals can lawfully
associate themselves together for
the purpose proposed, which is to
get large numbers of young people
to combine together and to re
frain from entering upon the mar
riage relation until certain subis of
money are accumulated. For in
dividuals to associate themselves
together for the purpose of
effecting this kind of a contract,
with tho considerations pro
posed, Mr. Nash thinks is against
public policy, because against the
public welfare, and if against pub
lie policy it is unlawful.

that are arrhlng by crery steamer.

Gov. Stanford comes back utthe
anti-monopoly movers in double
leaded two line monastic. He
gives Thurber the following slight
abrasien: "It is incorrect to call a
railroad a monopoly. The only
real monopolies in this country are
those created by the patent laws,
for instance: the governor under
stands that F. B. Thurber, who is
so active in the an ti-monopoly
movement, has a patent for mak
ing oleomargarine, and if he were
so dishonest as to sell it for butter
no one could enter into competi
tion with him. On the other hand,
under the corporation laws of
California a fee of five or ten
dollars will pay for articles of
incorporation which will enable
a company to build a line of
railroad in the state parallel
to his own. A stock company is
not a corporati on. It is a co-operation.
It is liable to error, of
course, in common with all such
institutions, but it is more iikely
to be uniformly just than a single
individual would be. A railroad
company lays down for the con
duct of its employes laws which
the common sense of business de
mands. Tho employes cannnot
deviate from these laws. They
are given no latitude for individual
judgment or caprice. On the
other hand the merchant is his
own master He can change his
methods and his rules at any
moment when passion, prejudice
or greed controls him. So long
as this is a representative govern
ment, so long as the majority rules
in this country, there can bo no
danger from railroad corporations.
They cannot exist in antagonism
to the will of the majority, and
they canaot undertake, as minor
ity, to overrule the wishes of the
majority."
