Hon. W. H McBRIDE, of Osborne,
has been appointed by Gov. Humphry
Insurance Commissioner. The Kan
sas City Sta, says:
The removal of Wilder Will create
a sensation throughout insurance cir
cles IN the United States. His prose-
cution of wildcat insurance compan
les has been more determined and
bitter than that of any other insur-
anee commissioner IN the country,
and the state press has universally
approved his course. His removal
will be a surprise to the state at large.
but those who are on intimate terms
with the governor expected 1t:
Gov. Humphrey said this morning:
MIR. Wilder was not removed. His
term of Office expires July l, and
have simply chosen q successor for
him Mr.. Mcbride Is we'll qualified
for the position and will conduct the
Office IN an admirable way. l am
heartily in accord with the prosecu-
ton of wildcat insurance companies
and with the general policy which
characterized Wilder's administra-
ton He has held the Office, how
eyer. for four years, and thought it
only right to allow some other man
who deserved equally as much at the
hands of the party to succeed him. ]
most emphatically assert that this np-
pointment should not be construed
as a removal or as a lack of confidence
IN Mr. Wilder. I have known Mr..
Mcbride for thirty years, having
served with him three years IN the
army. He is a good lawyer and well
acquainted with the details of the in
/ suranee business"

The Australian System.

Judge Tuley's Address at Chicago.
The primaries in this city for years
past have been known as a farce and
burlesque, and the Australian ballot
system is a step-a long step-ln the
right direction. 1t originated in that
far-off land that was not settled until
1881. No government was establish
ed there until 1854, and three years
later they evolved the system that
now occupies the attention of all peo-
pie. It has been declared the great
est reform of the century and engages
the attention of the worlds greatest
statesmen and economists.
Within five years twelve American
states have adopted it. Henry George
was the first to advocate the system
here, and he has been termed the
man who will leave the greatest i'm
press of any man of the age. The
virtues of this system include com
pulsory secret ballot and tho printing
of official ballots by the state. Ignor-
ant men are permitted to take dupli
cate ballots printed IN newspapers in
to the booth with them to assist il
making out their own BALLOT as vel
as call on the judges for assistance.
Fewer void ballots are found by ex-
perience under this system than I'M
der the present. Objections to tn,
effect that the illiterate voter is placed
at disadvantage are not well ground

The Senate some tire ago passed a
bill providing for the. free coinage of
silver. It will soon probably be put
upon its passage III the House, but it
IS given ont that tho President will
veto it if it passes. We hope he will
not do so. The best interests of the
country demannd the passage of the
measure. He viii by vetoing that bill
injure the country. That is not all
he will do but such an act will not
only deieat his denomination for
President but proba bly, defeat the Re

WHOEVER wrote the following got
the whole truth down In a nutshell
IF you have a little farm or business,
or steady employ ment and are out of
debt, do not fret and work yourself
and wife into the grave for the sake
of making money You have but one
life to live, and that is very brief at
best. Take a little comfort and pleas
ure as you go alor g day by day, and
try to do a little good to others. A
morbid, insatiate desIro to possess the
earth and to grab everything in sight,
is at the foundation of more misery
than almost any one thing. Wealth
alone will never keep your memory
green after you are gone"

The Stockton irrigation convention
resolved that the way to keep down
the hot winds is to dam up every
draw on every section line of the
state west of the Sixth principal mer-
1dian. When this is done, the resell
ution continues, ''the entire rainfall
will be retains ed in the dams and alb
sorbed by the earth to be gradually
evaporated from both, loading the air
at all times with moisture and Undue
ing more frequent showers by day
and heavy dews by night. The earth
would become soaked with water,
good wells could be had on any spot
of ground, springs would burst out
IN all low places, forming creeks of
running water in nearly every hollow.
The volume of water in our rivers
would be greatly increased, the guam
tity be always uniform. With result
accomplished, the season of moisture
would surely extend thirty days,
which would be sufficient time to in
