One Of Wannamaker's Schemes.

That prince of hypocrites, John
Wannamaker, has again been caught
in an attempt to use his office for an
other of his private schemes. II
seems that Brother Wannamaker,
while engaged with his Sunday.
school, conceived the idea of writing
a book of songs. He christened that
book "Living Hymns" and has put
it on the market. His publishers
have just issued circular letter call
ing attention to the hook, and these
letters are being sent out to all Re.
publican postmasters appointed by
Wannamaker asking them to become
book agents. The letter reads as fol.
lows:
Believing that every postmaster in
the country should take personal
interest in its introduction, and that
many will take an agency for it in
their own town or township, we offer
you an agency for your section. Do
you want it? II you can not act as
agent for Living Hymns" please
write on the inclosed blank the name
and postoffice addresses of any book
or Bible agents you know of 10 any
part OF the country, and state, II you
can, what book they are now selling ;
also please give the names and adj
dresses of agents who have been sue
cessful in the sale of other articles,
stating what they have sold.
, For your kindness we will, as soon
as one of the agents you name or se-
cure for us orders $25 worth of books,
send you copy of Living Hymns"
free of charge. 1t Is not an unusual
thing for agents to sell $40 to $50 in
books In a week regardless of its mer-
it.; hence with book of such I'M
usual prospects you will not have to
wait long for your free copy.
1t will be seen that this scheme is
ingeniously intended to enlist all
country postmasters in the work, and
to get them to use their influence in
selling the book. Wannamaker's
name has a very strong meaning to
the average Republican postmaster,
ard it will not be long presumably,
until they will be securing the woods
for purchasers of the book. 1t also
serves to show that the average Re-
publican office-holder uses his posi-
ton In furthering any scheme of his
own that will bring to him a few
ducats. The only way TO get rid of
them is to vote for Cleveland and
Stevenson, and put honest men in
Office.

Senator Sherman renewed his at
tack and refused to be convinced
even by the oratory of the Iowa Sen
ator. He wanted the Senate to dc
the straightforward thing, and not
fizzle about it.
"Give the Fair $,5,0O0,000, and dc
not make believe that you are de-
ceiving yourselves in giving it a 70
cent silver dollar, or two 35-cent half
dollars" If the children cry for it,
as the Senator has said they did,
"Why not give them Castoria ?" said
Sherman. He knew that it was a
popular thing with the little ones,
more popular he thought than even
the souvenir halfdollars would be.
The galleries looked down in surprise
as these remarks came from Sherman,
and Congressman who entered the
chamber just as Mr.. Sherman uttered
them, dropped into the vacant chairs
nearest the door.

SHUT OFF STEAM.
The People Of Hopkinsville Can Not
Stand Whistle.

Two railroads all whistling at
once are more than the people of Hop
kinsville can stand. A very numer-
ously signedpetition has been circu-
lated over there asking the city
council to throttle every lccom olive
whistle that enters the place and to
pass law to stop the pestiferous
nonsense. The railroad authorities
are also asking the city council not to
do this thing. They say they can not
possibly run train without shoot
ing the whistle off little, and if the
people can't stand it they will have
TO move out. The best thing for
Hopkinsville to do is to move over
to GAINESVILLE where the din of deliv-
cry wagons on the streets drown such
an insignificant thing as loeomo-
tive whistle. Nothing short of this
will make her citizens happy and
prosperous.

INSURANCE RATES.
1t is Probable that the Portland under
writer's will make Some Advances.

At an early date, probably tomorrow,
the New England Insurance Association
will hold a meeting in Boston to discuss
and determine upon the question of rates
The action of this association will be
matter of much importance all over New
England. The Portland Board of Under
writers is in a general way subject to the
DEGREES of the New England Association;
and if the Boston meeting declares for an
advance in rates, Portland will fall in
with the rest of New England.
There seems to be little doubt that that
meeting, or another one in the near
future, will so declare. The insurance
business has been carried on at loss the
past year. 1t is estimated that the total
fire loss in the United States for the year
will amount to over 1874 millions of dol
lars. Under this extraordinary strain
the insurance companies that have not
large reserves are showing signs of dis
tress. In all A stock companies and So
mutual and mixed companies, with a
total of 20 million dollars of assets, have
gone out of business in the year because
their losses were too big for their pre-
miums.
OF course the remedy for this state of
things is an advance in rates. 1t is not
probably that such an advance, if made,
will affect the small insurer to a great
extent; but will apply rather to men who
have large properties to insure, as mer-
chants, etc. This advance may take the
form of a direct advance in rates, or in a
condition that larger insurance shall be
carried. At present a merchant in a city
like Portland, with stock worth $780,
600, for instance, reasons thus. 1.-THE
fire department here is efficient, and it is
probable that fire could not get head
way enough to damage me more than
$4,000. Therefore l will put on that
amount of insurance. If a fire comes 1
shall have enough insurance to make
good my loss, without having been put
to the expense of paying premiums on an
insurance for the whole stock"
This is wise from the merchants stand
point; but the result of it is that the in
surance company meets a total loss of
the whole sum for which it has received
premiums. The companies claim that
they cannot stand this, as it makes the
chances too much against them.
So it is probable that an early date will
see an advance. Indeed, it has already
been announced in some parts of the
West, as in Cincinnati, where an adj
vance of 20 per cent on stock and 10 per
cent on buildings is making some stir.
