It would ho intorosing because it would iindoulitedlly present iUulf iih a remarkable coinuieiitary upon tho common sense of tho average American citizenship. Ilowovor, ainco tho thoughts of tho presiding powers mi! no moro open to tho in flection of tho public than are tho hookH of the corporation, it Ih loft for the imaginative mind to depict them for it Hell'. Supposing wo place a Holiloiuy upon tho Hih of tho Amalgamated management hy way of I'nl lowing the UHiial Htako license tor the enlightenment and entertainment ot the pit. With a lordly sfut Hir Amalgamated betakes himself to tho center ot the hoards and begin: "What a uingnillcent tiling it in lor me that the world in well Hiipplicd with tool who do not ask leading question. There are eatdly enough tor me to draw upon tor my iih'S with out being toiced to cIioom) liom tho tanks ot those who are wis-er and might niciM upon their rights to my meat annoyance. My leasou of the lame uumlier of HUpeilicial inves-lois cloe at hand, I am aide to declare all those inellKihlo to part icipate iih my Hhareholdera who will not trunt mo implicitly and auroo not to pry into their own ImihIiiohs. This rulo in aliHoluto anil all who have entered with me me hound hy it. Thereloro let no one think that he can hecomo one of my numher iimbr pretonso of HuhmiHriiou and afterwaidn mow mutinoun to the extent of iiiqiiiriiiK what 1 am doiim with hi.s money. If he in (Uncontented, lot him withdiaw. lie Inu-i gained lulmittance hy mis representation and 1 do not require him. There are many o thorn anxioun to have hin place who will aroe to all my conditionH. The woodn are full of thorn, and ho in an impoj-ter." Then tho chorus takes up tho re frain: "We aro just in from the woods and ho is an impostor who undertakes to find out for us what Is being rlono with our money. " Sir Amalgamated has told a great truth. There aro onough of thoso who aro willing to wait upon his silent humor to thus mako it a matter ( of indifroreueo to him whether tno others refuse to play or ot. Ho has tho eatlrifaotion of knowiug that, omo people will always ho found to invent in "blind pools," and what, uiruH ho for tho reso of the world? Moreover, ho has his imitators among tho lesser members of tho cast in tho roaring farce, entitled, "(live ' Uh Your Money and Then Try to, Kind it Again." They, too, havoj disocvored that tho game will work well, and a great many are engaged iu it. It may bo surprising to Sir Amal gamated and his claquers, bowover, to find that there is satisfaction among another class of Investors be causo thoy have nothing whatever to do with him, for tho time may shortly come when Sir Amalgamated will try to do a little branching out. At least, so it is reported. Tlio pub lic will then bo invited again to participate presumably on lormcr conditionns. It may bo (hat tho next billion-dollar corporation will not havo such an easy time of tho un loading business as the last olio did. Jf so, tho explanation will bo fouud iu tho fact that tho public's dramatic taste has changed, having grown tired of such heroics as that heroin quoted. Daily Mining Hecord.
