A MAN in Kentucky recently died
from the bite OF mosquito, and his
widow sued the insurance company
to make it pay $4,000 policy on
the mans life. The Court decided
that the bite was an accident and
that the company must pay, but
the decision was overruled by the
higher Court. The only thing
strange about this case is that a
mosquito bite should kill Ken
tuckian.

SECRETARY ALGER says he is at a
loes what to do in regard to the San
Pedro harbor proposition. He says
the appropriation is not enough to
make the required changes in the
harbor, and he will probably not do
anything. The best way for Alger
to act is to ignore the report of the
Commission on the harbor question,
and act just as the Central Pacific
railroad company asks him to, that
is, take the money and go to Santa
Monica and spend it. Alger is not
in much of a hole.

Large salaries.

The largest newspaper salaries in
the world are paid to special cor

Henry de Blowitz, the Paris CORE
spondent for the Times, gets $50, 900
year, and the man who writes the
column called paris Day by Day"
for the Daily Telegraph has 81, 800
a week. George Augustus Sala re-
ceived the same salary for Lon
don Day by Day" The London
Times pays Rudyard Kipling as
war correspondent to Greece a sal
airy of $4,000 week. For years
the Times paid Archibald Forbes
$4,000 year merely to have him

In the United States Court Mon
day Judge Hawley rendered de-
cision in the Coffin fee case. Coffin
was one Of the counsel for the mill
companies in the great water suit
against the ranchers. He claimed
$25, 900 for legal services in the case
and assigned the claim to the Bull
lion & Exchange Bank of Carson.
The bank brought suit against the
mill companies, as assignee, to re-
cover the amount. The Court found
that Coffin agreed to do the work
for $4,000; that he had been paid
in full and that the bank, rs Collins
assignee, should pay the costs.

Last Tuesday morning a pulling
match between two teams owned by
Italian ranchers here was arranged,
and wager of $50 made that the
4-horse team of Frank Baroni would
pull as heavy load from here to
Virginia as the 6-horse team OF M.

8 o'clock in the morning and both
teams got to Virginia about 2:3O in
the afternoon When the loads
we're weighed up there it was found
that Quilici had hauled 1000
pounds and Baroni only 10000
pounds and the money was paid to
the former. The 4-horse team had

could have pulled 500 or 600 pounds
more, while the 6-horse team had
hard work to get up through Gold

THE st. Paul Dispatch, in a re-
cent editorial on independent jour
nalism, says:
"There are probably two or three
Independent newspapers in the
United States which are just what
the term implies, newspapers which
from principle refuse to support any
party or party candidates and which
advocate measures for their intrinsic
merit, not permitting themselves to
be influenced by the declarations OF
any political party. Such papers
are SO much of a rarity, however, as
to be grouped in class all to them
selves, and it is such small class
that it is chiefly noticeable on that
account.
But every State and nearly every
city has its so-called independent
paper, and as a rule they are just
independent enough to stand be-
tween the two party lines and levy
tribute on BOTH
If this is not an humiliating adj
mission there never was one made.
But we believe there are more in
dependent newspapers in the land
than the writer of the above i'm
AGNES, and that this fact was dem
onstrated during the last campaign,
and will be more fully demonstrated
in the campaign of 1900. 1t is true,
however, that nearly all the large
dailies in the great cities are afraid
to have any independent ideas.
They are paid by the corporations
and aristocrats to preach their doc
trine, on all questions of import to
this country, and whether they be-
lieve what they write or not, it
makes no difference so long as they
grow fat by deluding the people.
The press Of the large cities is prosti-
tuted by the corporations to great
extent, but there is time coming
when there will be a mighty revolu-
ton in this state of affairs

Is THERE job in the proposition
of this government to buy Cuba, or
not? AS we read the dispatches
there is an indication of a big haul
for somebody. Mr.. Mckinley pro-
poses to pay $400,000,000 to Spain
for Cuba, although $200,000,000
was the highest price Cubans ever
offered themselves, and that offer
was made some years ago. They
would not now give over 100000
000. 1t is little strange, also, that
all the monied men who have inter-
ests in Cuba are urging the pur-
chase of the island at the figures
named by Mckinley. The Cubans
have never asked that this govern
ment should buy the island from
Spain. They wish to buy it them
selves, and only ask that Uncle
Sam act as sponsor for them, They
also know the island is not worth
the sum proposed, and they never
would pay it. Now why is it that
SO much money is to be paid. Can
it be that the scheme of Mckinley
is to make negotiations for purchase
for $400,000,0O0 and then, after
paying $100,O00,00Q or so hold the
balance to settle up claims for dam
ages by wealthy American land
owners in Cuba? Should this be
the case, and the deal consummated,
the Cubans would not be much bet
ter off than they are under Spanish
rule. They would be made to pay
the debt in the end, and it would
grind them about as badly as it
would to pay revenue to Spain.
Maybe there is considerable of a
joker in this proposition to buy
Cuba.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-A meeting Of
the Pacific Gable company, of New

the Central and South American Tele-

lowing board Of directors were elected:
j. Pierpont Morgan, Edmund L. Bay

John Irwin, U. S. N, and James M.

proposed cable will connect San Fran

and Australasia. 1t is further announc-
ed by the company that the surveys
for the cable between the coast of

voorhees, Democracy.
1t seems to be impossible for the Re-
publican senators to prevent the con-
summation of the scheme. They lack
two Of having a majority of the sem
ate, and hence, can only cast their
votes in opposition to the election Of
Dubois, and thus place themselves on
record in opposition. 1t is intimated
that Senator German, of Maryland,
and Senator Gray, Of Delaware, sound
money Democrats, may oppose the
election of Dubois; but the impression
prevails that they will vote for the
candidate of the Democratic caucus.
The silver men in both houses of
congress intend to press their cause
during the coming session Of congress.
They now have the tariff question out
of the way, and the Republicans will
be obliged to meet them in almost con-
slant discussion of the monetary ques-
ton. The proposition to bring Dubois
to Washington, as secretary of the
senate, is ample indication of the ag-
gressive determination of the united
silver factions. They propose, if pos
sible, to put the Republicans on the
defensive.
The plan looks well, at first sight;
but nobody has yet heard an intima-

statesman is now the duly accredited
leader of his party, and those who
know him best regard him as one of
the most resourceful men in public

to him for guidance, and they will
confidently follow his leadership. 1t is
not unlikely that now, in the quiet
of his home at Dubuque, Senator AL
lison is preparing to meet every issue;
and, when he reaches a conclusion con-
cerning q line Of action, Senator Dubois
may find himself long way off from

making the patronage count for all it
is worth.

SOFT BERTH
FOR DUBOIS.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov.24.-Ex-Senat
Fred T. Dubois, of Idaho, who achieved
notoriety, if not distinction, as the
leader of the free silver forces in the
senate, is regarded as likely candt-
date for the office of secreary of the
senate 1t is understood here that the
silver Democrats, and the silver Re-
publicans, intend to hold separate eau
cuses, and each of them will nom1-
nate Dubois for the office of secretary
of the senate. The nomination is then
to be ratified by the Populist senators,
and their united strength, which COM
prises a majority OF three in the SEN
ate, will be given to Dubois, which
will insure his election. The salary
of the office is sc, 900 per annum; and
that is 81 900 more than the salary OF
a sci ator. The office is an honorable
one; and is usually given to some eX-
congressman or some ex-senator, VINO
has been elected to stay at home. The
present secretary is Gen. W. r. Cox,
of North Carolina, an eX-congressman,
who was a gallant confederate soldier
He also is a silver advocate; and there
seems to be no good reason for remov-
ing him, except that the friends of
Dubois want to give him a nice place
on the senate pay roll, where he will
have no duties to perform. His cleo
ton, however, will bring him again to
Washington, where he can be in close
conference with the silver leaders, all
of whom regard Dubois as shrewd
politician, whose advice and counsel
will at all times be valuable.
1t is not intended to elect anyone in
place of the present incumbent of the
office of sergeant-a t-arms Of the senate,
who is regarded as an exceptionally
efficient official. The incumbent is Col.
Richard ]. Bright, of Indiana, long
time free silver man, and Democrat
from his childhood. During the civil
