PROPOSED INVESTIGATIONS.
4 Prominent Senator Says Nothing Will
Como of Them This Session.


Como of Them This session.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-A Republican
senator who stands high in the party
councils said today that the proposed
senatorial Investigations of private char
acter and reorganization schemes would
come to nothing this session. They
could not be considered while contested
seats were under consideration and when
that subject was disposed of the Senate
would probably adjourn, az quorum
would otherwise disappear within two
days after the president notifies the Sen
ate that he has no further business to
sent to it.
A subcommittee of the Senate judici-
airy committee was engaged for a time
this morning looking into charges made
by W. n. Weeks, chairman of the Indian
territory Democratic committee against
j. j McAllister, nominated to be United
States Marshal of the territory. 1t is
claimed that McAllister by reason of
having married ChickasaW woman is no
longer citizen of the United States but
of the territory, and therefore was incl
lgible to appointment.
Also that he has opposed Democratic
organization in the territory and aided
Indians in their recent uprising, supplied
them with arms, promised them money;
that he is q man of great wealth and
power among the Indians and by reason
of his influence, alleged to be Improperly
used. Is not the proper man for peace
officer.
McAllister and friends appeared before
the committee this morning and declared
that these charges we're trumped up for
the purpose OF defeating him in the inter-
est OF rival candidates. The matter was
postponed till Monday and in the mean
time Weeks will lay the charges before
the president.

UNION MUTUAL !. LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY.

The Union Mutual Life Insurance Conn
pany issued New Policies covering more
than Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars
of Insurance in the month of July--by
far the largest amount written in any
corresponding month during the past
seventeen years.
1t is equally gratifying to note that ten
per cent. OF this New Business was issued
upon the lives of Maine Citizens.
At first sight it partakes somewhat Of
the nature of paradox that at the pres
emit time when so much financial trouble
is rife, that SO many people are to be
found willing, IN fact anxious to either
increase the amount of Life Insurance
they are carrying; or, in the case OF those
who have been hithertn lax In their duty
in this connection, willing 70 embark
anew therein. But the seeming paradox
is speedily dispelled when little thought
is given to the matter and in its place a
glowing tribute seen, which Is being I'M
consciously paid to Life Insurance.
OF all looms of Investment, when finan-
cial self-pressrvation parades itself as
stern duty to ones self and family. the
thoughtful DISCERNING men of the COM
munity betake themselves to Insurance
in one of its many forms. The reason
of this is, that where so much uncer-
tainty prevails, attention is naturally
directed to that commodity which of all
others presents the nearest approach to
fxity of value. This naturally induces
those who already possess Insurance to
obtain more and the same reason impels
those whose lives are not insured to at
once get their risk covered.

those corporations would earn good divi-
dends, and therefore men desired tho
stocks and were willing to pay fair prices
for them. Last January may then be
called the time of highest values for the
year 1898. From that time to the present
month great change has been going on.
Men have lost confidence in our prosper
ity. Mills have shut down, the railroads
are earning less, there is less prospect
that their dividends will be large, and
investors have therefore thought their
stocks less desirable. The extent to
which this shrinkage has gone may be
appreciated by comparing the highest
January record of stocks with the lowest
prices, which were reached about the
middle of this month:

David B. Hill is very shrewd poll
tician; but the gulf he is attempting to
span will require a very long straddle.
He is going to vote for repeal, which
Cleveland has recommended; but he is
abusing Cleveland for making the recon-
mendation This in brief is his position.
He hopes by it to keep the sound money
sentiment of New York pacified while he
wins to himself the support of those an
Gent Democratic legions of the South
and West who are always ready to unfurl
their standard against the financial
position of the North and East How the
cheap dollar DICTIONARIES like the position
of the man who sympathizes with them
and votes with the other fellows, has not
been made public yet. But the sound
money sentimental the North and East
spurns the man who votes with them and
sympathizes with the other fellows.
Both the World and Herald, representa-
tives Democratic journals of New York,
condemn Hill in set terms, while the
Mugwump journals like the Times, are
unbounded in their denunciation. Yet
Senator Hill has outlived great deal of
newspaper fire in his day. He still lives

machine and the southwestern DICTIONARIES

From this lowest ebb there has been
partial recovery; but only a partial one.

that this shrinkage is in most cases per-
manent. With return of confidence
men will again desire the stocks, and

The whole country stands paralzyed
by the great financial panic that has
swept over the land and looks with anx-
ious face to its great men and leaders for
relief, but the President has gone a
fishing.
Congress has been convened and is
spending precious timessin wrangling over
the difference twixt tweedle-dum and
tweedle-dee and needs the guiding of
the strong arm at the helm, but the
President has gone a fishing.
Banks are breaking, merchants are
failing, financial institutions thought
to be as solid as adamant are crashing,
stocks are tumbling and financial ruin
hangs like black pail over the land,
but the President has gone fishing :.
Thousands of hungry men are out of
employment and thronging the great
cities, threatening riot and bloodsheds
their furnishing wives and children, yet
the President has gone fishing.
All over the land stand smoke stacks
with the fires extinguished, fitting monu-
ments of wrecked fortunes and ruined
hopes, with idle spindles and wheels that
revolve no more, silently waiting for the
relief that should come from the prompt
action of the powers that be, but the
President has gone fishing.
From end to end and from side to side
of this broad southland the beautiful
cotton is opening, wide and busy hands
are gathering it in with hearts full of
hope that the Congress and the great
leader whom.they have chosen will devise
some plan to move and market the
product of their labor at something like
fair valuation, but the President has
gone fishing.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned, Con-
gress dawdles and wrangles while ruin
stares many good man in he face, and
the gaunt forms of hunger and want stalk
throughout the land, yet the President
must go a fishing.
