Alss.asrssasdiag Revenue Lav. Il
Raised Inssrnnoe Rates, but Rssraets.
Quite ar excitement was caused among
business men on Friday BY the receipt Of
notice from the local insurance agents
that the Pacific Insurance Union had
raised the rates in consequences Of the i'm.
position BY the legislature Of per cent
tax on gross premiums. The excitement
gave place to laughter at the expense Of
the combine when 1t was found that NO
such tax had been imposed, and the union
being informed that it had acted on mis-
information, rescinded the order.
The circular which caused the scare Wa
issued by w. s. Duval, the general man.
ager, and was dated 1t San Francisco,
April Is. It read a. follows:
Additional charges for Ill risks In washing.

March 50, 1895, to take effect May !. 1898:
WHHRIAs, The expense of tYansacting the

been materially increased By the recent passage
of . law imposing . tax on the gross amount Of

Explanatory note-The shove charges must b

Examples-If the special or tariff rate II q. Is
the additional charge would be 10 cents, making
rate $lSa
If $40. additional would b Is cents. rate
$225, etc.
On receipt Of this circular the local in
surance agents inquired a. to the provis-
ions of the law and found that the tax
which had been used as an excuse for this
advance in rates had not been imposed,
for the new revenue Law only provides for
the taxation of net premiumA With Sem
ator w. r. Forrest, who was chairman of
the joir: revenue committee, and who on
the last day Of the session defeated the
movement to tax gross premiums. County
Auditor Twichell and the local insurance
agenis sent telegram to Mr.. Duval giving
the exact words of the clause of the law in
question. Snd yesterday an answer Was 10

FUSION's PUNISHMENT.

From Ahe Er1poria Republican.
The Democrats of Kansas have already
tasted of the bitter fruits of fusion, but
they are going to get more. Their action
last fall in nominating the candidates of
the Peoples party will. according 10 the
terms OF the new ballot law, nave the
effect of shutting them off from all rep
resentation on election boards next fall
and again in 1894. This provision of the
bill originated in the house but the SEN
ate adopted it without protest, which
shows the measure of gratitude the
Populists have for the assistance the
Democrats rendered them last year. 1t
must be humiliatlng, of course, for the
members of one of the two great parties
of the country to be denied official recog-
milton in any state in the Union,
but it serves them right nevertheless.
The Pops may have been ungrateful in
adopting SUCH "a provision but they were
not unjust. 1t is fusion's fitting punish
ment 1t is a mark of disgrace set upon
the party that INDUCES in this kind OF
political skulduggery and it cannot be
effaced until the offending organization
has given some substantial evidence of
reform. The punishment is severe, but
there is no escaping it, and the only
thing for the Democratic party to do IS
to grin and bear it and resolve to lead an
upright life in the future.

COMRADE BERNARD KELLY.

From the FL Dorado Republican.
Comrade Kelly, pension agent of this
district and commander of the Kansas
district Grand Army of the Republic,
spent Tuesday in our CITY, and at o'clock
delivered the Decoration Day address at
the opera house TO an immense audience
Of comrades and friends.
Mr.. Kelly has for twenty-three years
been an important factor in the political,
religious and social life of our state.
He is Methodist preacher by pro-
fession, a stalwart Republican in politics
and an ex-Union soldier who maintains
ever hour in the day that the North
was eternally right in that great struggle
and the South eternaIly wrong.
No man III Kansas, of his age, carries
a greater amount Of pressure to the
square inch. Possessing all the energy of
high pressure engine, he Is ever and
forever found aggressively defending all
that he believes TO be right and just and
honorable between man and man in all
that goes to make up our religious,
political and social life.
Comrade Kelly is an honest man:
clean man: 3 man of infinite resources,
who never says die, and is in very many
respects born leader of men.
He was made pension agent by the
late Senator Plumb ithout solicitation
and has never been candidate for any
office in his life, and we do no. know
tina. he ever will be, although there are
sixty thousand eX-Union soldiers in
Kansas, and many others besides who
are not ex-soldiers, who would like to
see him governor of our state

Der one instance of the kind of which
/ was a witness. | was a boy about
fourteen, and with my mother was
about to make a visit from Memphis 20
Grenada. We were detained at the
guardhouse waiting for passport, for
which we had an order, when a richly
dressed lady came in and presented
note from the comma Eding officer to
pass her through the lines. She would
have got through easy enough, but as
she was leaving the station the band
of her hoopskirt broke and it fell To
the ground. The lady screamed and
swooned dead away. Fastened to the
skirt were dozen pairs of fine cavalry
boots which she was endeavoring to
smuggle through to confederate SOL
diers. She was locked up, and it was
some time before friends secured her
release. Ny mother was so badly
frightened by the incident that she
gave up the visit to Grenada, for she
too had some contraband goods tied to
her criuOline
