Where the Money Goes.

Henry b. Hyde, president of the
Equitable life insurance company, re-
ceives salary of 100000 a year.
And Mr.. Beers, president of an
other big life insurance company, gets
$40, 900. In addition to this tidy sum,
the editor of an insurance journal is
authority for the statement that the
trustees of the company voted him
$50, 900 last December us a Christmas
gift, and have been in the habit of do
ing some generous thing like this
every year for some time.
The fact is, the old-llners get more
money from their enormous premium
rates than they know what to do with.
And they get it from many of the
fellows who go around grinning when
some perjurer and a proposed attorney
general have concurred in swapping
a little endowment company.
Proposed Canal CatechiSm.
AS the JOURNAL views the matter,
the adoption of the proposed fifth
amendment to the Constitution i'm
perils the canal.
In effect it proposes to hand the
canal oyer to the tender mercies Of
Yves. Virginia coal interests, and
along with the canal will go this coal
region.
In view of this impressive contin-
gency would it not be we'll for the
people to catechise each nominee for
the House Of Delegates as follows:
|, Are you in favor of and will you
vote for the adoption Of the proposed
fifth amendment to the Constitution ?
,, If that amendment be adopted by
the people, will you, if elected, vote in
the House of Delegates for any bill pro-
posing to invest the Board of Public
Works with authority to sell the States
interest in the Chesapeake and Ohio
canalo
The answers to these questions
should be yeS or no, and should come
to the questioners in black and whue!!
Official News from this Region.
News comes from the national eX
ecutive board of United Mine Workers
of America, which has just concluded
its annual job in Columbus, Ohio, that
things are in a bad way. In an of
fetal statement particular attention is
given to the disorganized districts and
to the demoralized condition of the
miners of Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia, Indiana, Illinois and large
portions of various other States, the
inability to maintain prices there, etc.
There must be some mistake about
Maryland, for the miners here were
never less demoralized than now.
Some of the companies, it is true,
are dividing their employment among
too many men, but it is impossible for
the Knights of Labor to reasonably
complain of a widespread divyy of
what is going-unless they kick at the
fair share allowed the independent
men who do not and will not belong to
the Noble Order.
On the whole, the outlook in Mary
land is lugubrious only to the salaried
officers of the United Mine Workers,
and their on-commissioned walking
delegates who must report something
every time they return from scout.

Divorce Cases.

Johannah W. Glass has commenced an
action in the district court to obtain a
divorce from Andrew Glass. They were
married at Camp Douglass, Utah. in 1868,
and have lived in this county for some
years. About two years ago. Mrs. Glass
says, her husband bestowed his affection
upon another woman, and violated his mar
riage VOWS. For some time Mrs. Glass has
refrained from seeking the aid of the courts.
She says she has been in fear of her life if
she commenced suit owing to threats made
by her husband. In 1889 Mrs. Glass says
she discovered her husband in what she
believed to be a compromising. situation:
on this occasion her husband choked and
beat her and threatened her life.
Marietta Cottingham is seeking a separa-
ton from Ii. l.. Cottingham. This is a CASE
of simple desertion. The parties were
married at Chillicothe, Mo-, about two years
ago and afterwards came to this state,
where Mrs. Cottin CHAM says her husband
deserted her in February, 1889.
