NEW YORK PRESS,
What the Gotham Papers Think
of the Late Mayor,

of the Late Mayor.
NEW YORK, Oct. 90. The Times
says editorially this morning: "The
assassination of Mayor Carter Harrison,
of Chicago, is shocking incident in
the closing days of the great exposition.
So far as can be Judged by the informa-
ton received at the present writing the
crime is curiOusly like that of Guteau.
The murderer is discharged policeman
who las been vainly seeking re-
instatement. What particulargrievan
he had, or imagined that he had, against
the mayor is not known, but it is be-
lieved that his mind was disordered. 1t
is curiously tragical that Mr.. Harrison,
who, despite his many talents and &C.
complishmentS, had the reputation of
acquiring his greatest political strength
from the lawlesS classes, should have
fallen victim to lawless violence"
The Tribune says editorially of the
late Carter II. Harrison: He was i'm
bued with the assertive, determined,
cOnQuering spirit of Chicago in every
emotion, in every impulse. He cannot
of misfortune. since he had been
the most conspicuous figure of
Chicago through all the period
of her superb and memorable festival.
1t is evident enough that in no other
than the mighty capitals of the world
could such man as Carter Harrison
have been mayor for several terms. But
he was content with Chicago, and the
majority of the voters of Chicago
must have been content with him or
he would not have occupied the mayors
chair for so many years. He was a
friend of the gamblers, of the evil and
disOrderly classes. But these classes
make mayors in too many American
cities. The death of Carter Harrison
was not an untimeiy taking of. He
died full of years."
The Morning Advertiser says ed
itorlally: The shocking news of the
death of Carter II. Harrison at the
hands of an assassin, for whose act no
explanation can be given, will be re-
ceived with bewilderment and dismay.
Mr.. Harrison as public man has name
and friends in all parts of the United
States. He has many eccentricities
and was successful as it is given to few
men TO be. As member of congress
more than twenty years ago, his strong
qualities made him a leader on the
Democratic side of the house. After
leaving congress he was three times
elected mayor of Chicago. He was
millionaire, and was engaged to be mar
ried for the third lime at an early day.
The world will miss him.

from the conclusion reached by Judges
CAN'T and Burgess.
1t was held by the Court that the
action of the bar of Stoddard County
in electing George Houck special Judge
was legal, as was also the proceeding:
on March IS. in vacating the order o.
Judge Wear in the matter of appoint
ing klOtZ receiver of the road
JUDGE GANTT'S DECISION.
Judge CAN'T, in making the discis-
ion, said:
The subsequent action of Judge
Wear was unauthorized, and the pro
ceeds on their face disclose their own in
firmities. The jurisdiction of the Cape
Girardeau Court in the case is settled
in the affirmative. KlOtz did not
qualify as receiver until March z,
while Louis Houck qualified the day he
was appointed. March 4"
1t is not to be supposed that this is
the end of the case, as there are too
great interests at stake. but it is a
substantial victory for Louis Houck,
who is president of the railroad and
has been in control for many years.
The road is 100 miles long, and the
claim held by Merriman against the
company effects only % miles, part OF
which is in Stoddard County. Louis
Houck will remain in possession of the
road for the present at least.-Repab-

erty, the rates for which are already
exceedingly Observation-Disclosures In
teligeacer,
There has been considerable Iegisla-
ton of late years against trusts, pools,
combines, etc, but none of these laws
seem to reach the insurance compa-
MES. They make their combinations
and charge just what they please, and
for ten years they have manipulated
legislation in this State. As an ex-
cuse for the advance referred to. the
companies claim to be losing money.
This may be accepted when applied to
some of the old wooden towns in the
State, but it Is not true in regard to
the better cities. The truth of the
matter is. the insurance companies are
nothing less than pool, and they pro-
pose to squeeze the last cent out of the
public they can. Some healthy insur-
auce legislation is needed in this State.
The companies have had everything
their own way up to date and it is now
time to give the public a show.-Jef-
ferson City Tribune.
The public has got so used to being
squeezed. that another trust or pool
more or less does not appear to be OF
much consequence. 1t seems to us
and we try to be charitable-thatt the
average member of the legislature, gets
himself elected for the sole purpose OF
being manipulated. That an increase
of 200 per cent is gross injustice
and swindle, the city of Ironton bears
witness. In thirty years there have
been three buildings burned, yet in that
time one insurance agent alone has
been able to reap something like four
hundred dollars per year as his per.
cent on premiums; and this does not
take into account the percentage OF
some half dozen other agents in the
community. Yet the companies pro-
pose to raise insurance rates here, from
three and a half and four per cent to
nine per cent. Insurance has become
a necessity of our modern life; hence
the combination of underwriters in this
State, to squeeze little more out OF
the people. There are three ways by
which they can be met First, by leg
islation fixing rates This can be done,
and ought to be done, ifthe State should
have any regulating power at all.
Second: the citizens of the State may
unite and secure to an outside company
the insurance of those going into the
combination Third: Associations
could be formed upon the plan of life
insurance association-such as the A.
o. q. w., or the Knight of Honor.
This latter method is entirely feasible
and would obviate any interference by
the State Where there is organized
robbery by association, there should
be organized resistance by association.

Louis Houck on Top.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, June 3.-A
short session of Division No. 2 of the
Supreme Court was held to-day.
Judge CAN'T filed an opinion in the
case of the state ex rel. Eli Klotz
against Alexander Ross, Judge of the
Cape Girardeau Court of Common
Pleas, the ST. Louis, Cape Girardeau
and Fort Smith Railroad. The decis-
ion was in favor of Houck as against
the Gould interests.
This suit originated last March in
Stoddard County and attracted consid-
cradle attention, owing to the charges
being made to the effect that the ap-
pointment of Eli Klotz as receiver OF
the road was an effort on the part OF
the Gould interests to gain control.
The case is badly mixed and a great
number of matters were presented to
the Supreme Court The following
statement is the brief of the proceed
ings:
THE HISTORY OF THE CASE.
On the Sd of March the suit of one
Merriman against the st. Louis. Cape
Girardeau and Fort Smith Railroad
was filed in the Office of the Circuit
Clerk of Stoddard County and stimuli
taneously the order of Judge Wear,
Judge of the curcuit. was filed appoint
ing Eli Klotz receiver of the road.
The next day application was made to
Judge Ross of the Cape Girardeau
Court of Common Pleas in behalf of
the Houck interests in the road and
Louis Houck was appointed receiver.
The regular term of the Stoddard
County Court opened Monday, March
6, and Judge Wear being absent, the
attorneys present elected George
Houck, a brother of Louis Houck, Spec
ial Judge and the usal business of the
court was transacted during the week
Saturday evening, March IL, the
Special Judge adjourned court until 8
o'clock Monday, the 18th. and at that
hour Judge Wear being absent conven-
ed court and after disposing of some
routine matters, sustained a motion
vacating the order of Judge Wear of
the Sd appointing Klotz receiver of the
road. He then adjourned court until
the September term. Sometime after,
and during the day Judge Wear arrived
and proceeded to open court and ex-
plunged from the record the order va
eating his order of the 4th.
VICTORY FOR HOUcK.
With matters in this condition the
case was brought to theSupreme Court
on an application for a mandamus
against Judge Ross and Louis Houck
TO compel the former to vacate his
order appointing Houck receiver and
turn the road and effects over to Klotz.
Demurrers and amended petitions and
briefs were filed, in adj
dition to the taking of testimony by
John w. Dryden of st. Louis as spec
ial examiner, and q royal legal battle
was fought out before the court.
The result was a victory for Louis
Houck. and the writ was not only de-
MED. but the cost of the approval in
