SUICIDE NO BAR

In the United States circuit court of
| appears al St Louis few days ago,
Judge Thayer rendered a decision OF
great interest 10 members OF beneyo-
le1t orders that pay death benefits In
the nature of life insurance. The ques-
ton at issue was the liability of Econ
omy Council. No. 215,' National Union,
for the payment of 5000 policy when
the holder OF the policy had committed
suicide. The case had been taken 10
the United States Circuit court of the
western district of Missouri and jude-
ment rendered in favor of plaintiff,
Mrs. Arcadia L. NARROW, widow Of
George w. NARROW, deceased. The
National Union then appealed the case
On November 10, 1893, NARROW, who
held benefit certificate in the National
Union, committed suicide The COM
pany refused TO pay the amount of the
policy and Mrs. NARROW Instituted The
suit. The defense entered by the COM,
pany was that it was a fraternaI bene-
fetal organization, and as such came
under the statutes governing the pay
ment of policies in similar instances.
When the case was appealed Judge
Thayer ruled that the company was
not in reality a fraternal beneficial or
ganizatiOn, but an insurance company,
and as such liable for the fun amount
of the policy. The judgment OF the
lower court was therefore affirmed.

THE SUPREME COURT AND SILVER

Chief Justice Martin has defender
IN the Wichita Eagle. But let not
Martin become hilarious over this fact.
This Eagle has been without . squal
for some tIple. and the unanimous de-
c'sIon of the supreme court was too
shining a mark for it 10 fail to take
shot at 1t was not love Of Martin,
but love Of kick that made the Eagle
scream.-Lawrenoe Journal
What the Eagle remarked Of Martin
came from It's heart not its heels. Mar
tin Is not the only chief Justice who
has been reversed by the supreme court
OF the United States, wherefore wherein
lies the disgrscep That siik-gowned
combination reversed itself only few
months ago. Whatever lawyers may
protest, or much money -loaners and
bankers, their agents and officials may
sneer, the fact remains that Martins
decision strengthened him with the
body OF the people. for We have heard
them ralk; and II be is turned down
therefor, he might become formidable
stumbling block in the path u the Re
publican party of Kansas
AS for the Eagles penchant for kick
ing, we plead guilty in the case Of the
supreme court OF the United States
And in this connection the Eagle wants
to tell the esteemed Journal something
which maybe IL has never thought %.
and IN the way OF an Illustration OF
our estimate OF that body. II Is this:

Some fellow calls attention TO the
fact that the Eagle once turned the
original Mckinley bill over for its fail
ure to protect the products of the
prairies. Well, take the American
people, individually or collectively, and
we are an odd lot. The American peo-
pie being dissatisfied with Clevelands
tariff reform ideas turned over TO Ben
Harrison and Mckinley protection.
firing in turn of these they again took
up Cleveland and the Wilson depres-
sion act. Now In their worry and pros
tration they are regulating Cleveland,
Wilson and the whole outfit, and are
going headlong again for Mckinley
and protection. The trouble with the
editor OF the Eagle seems TO have been
that he was trying TO keep up with
the procession. Probably the best thing
individually to do Is TO stand pat and
let the public flop; to hold fast until
the people swing back; TO stand In the
ebb until the return OF the flow. This
we are trying to do on silver. It's
coming our way.

| find in the tone of business sentiment
political sentiment, food for reflection.
The country cannot be prosperous with
the interests of only one section pro-
NOTED. The east depends as much
upon the west as the west depends
upon the east. The true policy is one
that considers the interests of both and
that contemplates the least possible
hostility between the two sections
The Republican party is strongest in
the great middle, western and north
western states. These states are too
strong to be fouted at or antagonized
in any special interest The Republic
cans of these states are Of the stalwart
but conservative spirit They can be
reasoned with and Influenced, but they
cannot be browbeaten or Influenced by
threats or arbitrary conditions. They
believe thoroughly in the principles OF
the Republican party. They believe
that with the candidate thoroughly
representative of these principles the
Republican party will win great vic
tory and the country will be restored
to prosperity.
The report Of the 100 statesmen is
straw showing which way the wind is
blowing in the west They are nearer
the people than are the men of Wall
street, and there is no artiticiality OF
sentiment and no color Of prejudice
or animosity about their business
transactions.
