The refunding of the direct tax, for
which the senate has passed bill, Ii it
passes the house, will, i'll one aspect, be
much like the reimbursement which the
treasury was compelled to make re-
Gently of excessive duties collected.
The money will inure to the benefit of
people who did not pay one cent of the
original tax. and have no shadow of
moral claim to il. The only merit
the measure has is that it will lessen
the amount of money which is boarded
in the treasury when it ought to be in
circulation; and this, desirable as the
result of the surplus is, is very doubt
full merit indeed. The case is one
where the end does not sanctify the
means.

Now THAT oranges are becoming
cheaper, itmay be noted that an English
surgeon who is a high authority has
discovered that the juice of the orange

Africa is affirmed with striking results.
and the chemical philosophy of the
thing Is given. The juice is known to
be soothing to the throat and stomach,

United States senators
Faro Player. are not exceptions to
the rule, and some of
them don't indorse the aphorism by
their actions that Jack was dull boy
because his life was ''all work and no
play" A senator's life is not all
happy one, says a Washington writer,
and Senator Pettigrew. with all the
fires Of youth burning brightly, is not
averse to quiet game of "keerds"
when the senatorial cares are rolled
away. Indeed, George Parker, the
once famous Washington gam
bier, who has now settled down
into portlY and respectable real estate
agent in the old Shoemaker & HertZog
building, on Pennsylvania avenue. tells
how when Grant was once president he
opened private snap"-a quiet game
of faro-for Gen. Grant himself and
half a dozen friends, in room, too,
where, later on, judge of the supreme
court lost $1,000 worth of blue chips, the
judge only closing his game when the
''bank" wouldn't take any more checks
of the Judge, who has now gone to hap
pier judicial hunting grounds beyond
the stars.
Senator Pettigrew says: "When the
senate adjourned for Christmas time
hung heavy on our hands, and Senator
Wolcott and myself concluded to take
a days outing in New York. While we
were sitting in the GIlsey house we
were both seized with an impulse to
spend an evening wrestling with the

INSURANCE VALUES.

The Iowa legislature has in the Or
ganized branch bill that proposes to
require insurance companies to pay the
full value of their policies. Some OF
the papers see in it great disaster to the
insurance business. 1t is insisted that
policy holders will overvalue their
property. and will be exceedingly will
ing to see it burn In such cases. If a
man insureS his building for $40, 900
when it is really worth but $4,000, it
would be evident injustice to require
the insurers to pay the larger sum. 1t
is replied, on the other hand, that it
would be wrong for the company to let
the owner pay premiums on the $4,000
if there were no intention to pay that as
the loss. The full valuation policy has
for some years been in force in New
Hampshire, and perhaps other states.
There is doubt as to its ACCESSIBILITY. but
there are not believed to be any very
grave practical difficulties in appraising
property when the insurance is taken.

Inc LOTTERY Ihe people OF the
Northwest are having
Boss ofNorth just little taste at
this time of what the
Dakota. people of the Southern
states had to undergo
in the reconstruction period. The man
Spencer. who is at the head of the
North Dakota lottery scheme. was a
carpetbag senator from Alabama in the
reconstruction era, and the fact that he
was rather the best of his class wifi give
our people some idea of what an inflic-
tion the Southern people had imposed
upon them when brought under the
domination of the worst. Spencer has
been in North Dakota for good while
having the ground work for the job that
is now about to be sprung on the new
state. Although it was not visible, his
fine hand played part in the constitu-
tional convention last summer, and
under his guidance the organic law was
carefully framed so as to open the way
for this lottery scheme. There are those
who think they can now see that the
politics of the new state have all been
under the control of the lottery COM
blne ever since Dakota assumed state
hood. The state conventions. the cleo
ton of state officers, the late senatorial
election. and all the legislation at Bis
uldlck QuTlilg Tue present session, III
fact. everything of a political nature
has the appearance OF having been
shaped in the interests of the lottery
company. and vet it was all done with
such skill and secrecy that the body of
the people had no suspicion of what
was going on until the job was ready to
spring on the legislature. Spencer has
proved himself to be consummate
tactician and wirepulier. He has been
judiciouS in the selection Of his lieu
tenants, and yet, with all his skill and
Judgment. he has only made an IN
savory reputation for North Dakota
that eclipSes the black record of Ala
bama in reconstruction days. When
Spencer dies there will be no monu-
ment built to his memory In North Da
kota, no more than there will be in
Alabama. There will be no sectional
ism in the intensity of contempt in
which his name will be held by future
generations. Alabama has not yet re-
covered from the effects of Spencerian
regime in that state. and Louisiana
never will. And twenty years from
now North Dakota will be still cursipg
the hour when his foot rested on her
soil. This lottery infamy has done
more to iniure North Dakota than
drouth. frosts. billiards, and the army
worm. all combined, could accomplish
in a decade.

TO remember, when considering the re-
suit of the recent investigation, that
few, if any, financial institutions pay
profit in the first two or three years.
And another thing. The fourteen ma
tionai concerns in this state have, at the
lowest estimate, broughtIl $40 for every
81 paid by local shareholders. No one
has ever questioned, until recently. the
manner in which this money has been
invested. The officers are always men
of the highest standing, ana their meth

facts, would it not be wiser To investi-
gate more fully, instead of wrecking the
largest of these concerns? Any other
course would only bring disaster upon
the innocent stockholders and cause
great loss, with no beneficial results.

A Broken Bull Whether it first hap
pened so, or whether
wark. it was the result of de-

liberate ferethought
we are unable to tell, but for some rea-
son the press and the public had very
little to say about the judiciary centen-
NAL celebration in New York during
the past week. 1t naturally interested
the members Of the legal profession,
but the greater part of the people gave
it very little atte ntion. This would
seem singular in view of that inherited
tradition that the judiciary is the bull
wark of American liberty were it not
for the fact that some things have hap
pened within recent years to destroy
the force of that tradition. 1t is now the
popular belief that the judicial depart
ment is controlled by precisely the same
influences as control the executive and
legislative departments. and that it Is
equally subservient and time-SerVing.
Loss of confidence in the judiciary as
the conservative and restraining depart
ment of the government probably dates
back to the GRANT administration when
supreme court judges were appointed
for the express purpose of obtain
ing reversal of the decision
on the greenback question. This more
than ANYTHING else awakened the people
to the fallibility of the supreme court,
and shook the faith of the masses in
their bulwark. This feeling of distrust
was soon afterwards accentuated by the
partisan division of the Supreme court
judges who sat Oh the electoral CON-
mission. and since that time instances
of judicial partisanship have multiplied
so fast no one attempts to keep tally Of
them. The corporations. too, seem to
be about as well represented on the
bench as in the halls of congress or the
executive departments. After all, the
only bulwark of our liberty is the sober
sense and earnest patriotishl=of the peo-
pie who make and unmake political
parties. 1t the time shoald ever come
when we would have occasion to lose
faith in the good sense and the patriotic
impulse of the masses, then nothing can
save our institutions. Until then the
country Is safe.

a Senator. Senator Tabor, of Col =

contest which resulted in the election
of Ed Walcott, Tabor was violently OPP

and found the ex-senator going over a
list of the members of the legislature.
The Eastern gentleman had some bust
ness with Tabor, and when through
with it he thought he would engage in
a general conversation. and having just
read the then much-talked-of latest
publication, he said to Tabor: t'Sena-
tor, what do you think of Robert Els
