Editor of The Times:
Dear Sir.-Referring to the article OF the
New York Herald in issue OF yesterday,
copied as an advertisement in your issue
of this morning, | desire TO say that the
same is misleading, entirely erroneous,
and prompted by a disposition To do IN
Jury 20 this company, whose only fault
has been in Offering as agents good and
satisfactory policies Of fire insurance at
rates below those charged by tariff asso-
Citations.
This company acts solely as agents, and
docs not guarantee nor is IL expected TO
do so the policies issued by the assocla-
lions represented. In regard 10 the poll
,cies we issue, | would state that IN my
opinion they are as good as the best, ana
no risk is incurred by accepting same
BEFORE accepting the agency or these as
sociations, 1 made very careful enquiry
INTO their condition. and was fully salts
ded of their solvency. As an evidence OF
~ faith 1 place my property in same,
and am an individual underwater in the
Two companies represented.
In regard TO the Independence Company,
I can only say that II IL establishes an
aqencv N this State it will comply with
All the laws, and Will be aple 10 care Tor
and protect its policy-holders.
I regret to nave 10 nouce the arHeie'
hui in view OF its animus anu the us
nns,tion evident to do injury 10 tnls

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1895-01-24

The failure of the attempted impeach-
ment Of United States Judge Kicks, of
Ohio, was predicted from the beginning
by those who We're acquainted with him
and with the origin and motives Of the
movement. His unsullied character
professional antecedents and judicial
record all precluded the idea that he
would do anything dishonest, and the
fact that his accounts had been passed
by the highest accounting officers of
the government was sufficient evidence
that they contained nothing illegal. Be-
sides, it has been an open secret from
the beginning that the movement against
Judge Kicks had its origin in the hos
tllity of organized labor on account of
certain decisions which he had made.
and there was every reason to believe
that the charges were Of "trumped-
up" kind and intended to be used in
driving him off the bench. The vote of
the Judiciary committee against the
resolution of Impeachment confirms the
views OF the Judges friends and ends
the incident. 1t Is the first and it is to
be hoped 1t may be the last time that
organized labor will attempt to- bring
about the Impeachment of Judge sim
ply because his construction of the law
does not square with its own views.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1895-01-24

The feature of the New York law which
is embodied in Senator Stuart's bill. and
which limits the expenses of candidates
and requires those who are elected to
make sworn statement of their ex-
penses. is said to have worked well in
that State. and may be found worthy
of adoption. Nobody knows the extent
of the corrupt use of money in politics
better than those who have been sub
jected to exorbitant campaign assess
ments or who have been bled by alleged
party workers and vote getters, as
doubtless some members of the Legis-
lature have been. Senator Stuarts bill
ought to derive strength from this source
as we'll as from an honest desire to pur-
ify elections

CHANGES IN THE SENATE.

With the exception of Delaware and
Washington the legislatures electing
United States Senators have made selec-
tons. In Delaware Senator Higgins re-
ceived the caucus nomination and should
have been elected. In Washington the
Republican caucus ha not made a NOM
ination when the balloting in the Legis-
lature began. In these two States Re-
publicans will eventually be elected The
Republicans who succeed Republicans
are: Gear, of Iowa, who succeeds Will
son; Burrows, of Michigan, who sue
ceeds Patton; Mantle, of Montana, who
succeeds Power; Thurston, of Nebraska,
who succeeds Manderson; Whetmore, of
Rhode Island, who succeeds Dixon
Warren, of Wyoming, who succeeds
Carey, and Nelson succeeds Washburn
in Minnesota. The Republicans who
succeed Democrats are. Sewell, Of New
Jersey, who succeeds Mcpherson; Elk
ms, of West Virginia, who succeeds
Camden; Pritchard, of North Carolina
who succeeds Jarvis; Baker, of Kansas,
who succeeds Martin, and Carter, of
Montana, and Clark, of Wyoming.
Republicans, have been elected to
fill vacancies which the Senate de-
cided months ago that the Gov
errors of those States had no
authority to fill. The five new
Democratic Senators are: Tillman of
South Carolina, who succeeds Butler;
Chiffon, of Texas, who succeeds Coke;
Martin, of Virginia, who succeeds Hun
ton; Bacon, of Georgia, who succeeds
Va1oh hon Of
who succeeds McLaurin The new Pop
ulist Senator is Butler. of North Caro-
lima, who succeeds Ransom, Democrat.
In the following States the present Re-
publican Senators have been made their
own successors: Perkins in California,
Shoup in Idaho, Culiom in Illinois, Frye
in Maine, Hoar in Massachusetts.
Chandler in New Hampshire, Dolph in
Oregon and Pettigrew in South Dakota.
The Democrats who succeed themselves
are: Morgan in Alabama, Berry in
Arkansas and Harris in Tennessee.
The present Senate is made up of
thirty-six Republicans, forty-four Demo-
Gratis and five Populists, and there were
three vacancies The Senate after
March 4, 1895, will be made up of forty
tHicG IePuUiiCdIS, tHiTty-HlI DeInO-
Gratis and six Populists. The Repub-
lican gains have been made in New Jer-
sey, West Virginia, North Carolina and
Kansas. and the three vacancies in Mon
tana, Washington and Wyoming.
With forty-three votes, the Repub-
licans will lack two of a majority of a
full Senate of lightweight members. 1t
has been reported that the Populists
would be pleased to join the Republic
ans in reorganizing the Senate if they
can be literally recognized in the d.
vision of the patronage, but the Repuh-
licans who have expressed themselves
are decidedly opposed to any such propo-
sition. 1t may be added that such Re-
publicanS are right
