M'KINLEY'S BIG
LIFE INSURANCE.
He Will Begin Hi, Term With a Policy
of $4,000.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1l.-~President elect Mckin-
ley vii! begin his tcrM with $4,000 life insur-
ance. The poicy is laade out and paid for.
To keep up this insurance for one of his age
will cost about rs much rs the salary of Il
member of Congress.
After his nomination Mr.. Mckinley deter
mined to take out policy in some good COM
pany, and indiscreet!y mentioned the fact to
some of his friends. Within Il month every
life insurance company in the United States
that had any hope OF getting even an audi
ence with the Prcsdent-elect or any of his
friends had sent one Of its best men to Canton
to camp out for the rest Of the summer.
During the summer and far into the autumn
the agents stayed on. Once in II while one
of them had chance to get in a word, but
the Major gave him little satisfaction.
Finally the agent who had written up Mark
Hanna came from Cleveland and captured
the prize He worked for the company that
paid big policies after President Garfield
died, and again after the death of President
Arthur. Twenty-four hours later twenty
suites Of rooms in the best hotel in Canton
were empty, while one lone but happy agent
stayed over a few days to celebrate.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

Because it was the first time in thirty
two years, and the second time in forty
years that Maryland Republican Electors
have had an opportunity to cast their
votes for a President of their party, it was
only natural that they should celebrate the
event at Annapolis on Monday with more
ceremony than usual.
The popular idea is that a President was
elected on the third of November. But
such is not the fact, since Presidential
Electors only We're selected on that day,
while the actual election OF the President
and Vice President took place on Monday
the eleventh of January, that election he
Ing determined by the majority of Electoral
votes, cast in the Electoral Coll yes Of the
forty four States of the Union, on the same
day January eleventh as provided by
Federal Law.
Two ceremonies yet remain before Presi-
dent Mckinley and Vice President Hobart,
will be fully installed in their exalted and
honorable of1ices-Next month the two
Houses of Congress will assemble in the
House of Representatives. and receive and
count the Electoral votes, ard on the fourth
of March the final Inauguration of the
President and Vice President elect will
take place, and which promises to be tic
most imposing yet in our National history.

THE race track spectre IS lowering over
the Legislature both at Trenton and Dover.
From the former State capital comes the
report, that race track bill would have
no show of success i'll either House, and
even if it passed 10th Houses, it would he
vetoed in sucn strong terms by Governor
Griggs that it could not be passed over his
veto. 1t was further said that ii such a
bill was enacted it would drive the Re-
publicans ont OF power and keep them out
for the next ten years.
There is no doubt, however, that strong
pressure will be brought to bear to pass a
bill Not the least evidence of this is the
statement that the old race tracks are kept
in good repair, and that travel toward
them would be of great profit to transporta
ton corporations.

folly Congress devises to commit. Con-
gress has been responsible for all the en-
barrassment with which Secretary Carlisle
has had to contend. Congress enacted the
Wilson German tariff, which President
Cleveland would not approve by his sig
nature, and Congress refused to grant any
measure of relief when that tariff had its
legitimate result in deficiency of revenue
By its refusal to grant relief it forced the
Secretary to make unpopular loans, and he
has had to endure the odium of its folly
and contumacy. President elect Mckinley
has Congress to thank for the difficulty he
is having to secure competent man for
this important position.

THE report comes from Washington that
an effort is to he made to reopen the Du-
Pont case, involving the seat of Senator
from the State Of Delaware. Just how it
will be done has not been agreed upon but
there are several methods that may he
pursued. The right to a seat in the Senate
has never been held to be res adjudicata
1t is always open, and motion might he
made at any time to administer the oath
of Office to the candidate, despite the pre-
vious vote of the Senate The case might
also be opened up anew on petition OF Mr..
DUPONT. The action of the Senate before
showed a majority of one against seating
DUPONT, and it is understood that the Re-
pnblcans have good grounds for believing
that this result would be reversed on
another vote.

According to Il celebrated anatomist there
are upwards of 100000 little glands in the
human stomach. These glands pour out the
digestive juices which dissolve or digest the
food. Indigestion is want of juice, weakness
of glands, need Of help to restore the health
o. these organs. The best and most natural
help is that given by Shaker Digestive
Cordial. Natural, because it supplies the
materials needed by the glands to prepare
the digestive juices. Because it strengthens
and invigorates the glands and the stomach
until they are able to do their work alone
Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indigestion
certainly and permanently. 1t does so by
natural means, and therein lies the secret of
its wonderful and UNMARRIED success.

WHEN the expensive mistakes that were
made in the revision OF the tariff by the
Wilson bill shall have been corrected, then
the country will want nothing so much as
quiet and an absence of all legislation. If
Congress could adjourn for ten years we
would have an era of unprecedented pros
perity.
Such is the opinion of a prominent bust
ness man, whose reputation is national.
His opinion is shared by conservative bust

Great B.itain nov pending ratification be
fore the L. $. Senate. Regarded from any
point of view, whether of humanity, reason

peace is the highest triumph of modern
craftsmanship. As a leading daily forcibly
says: ''Of fourteen leading countries only
two spend more per capita for public cdu.
cation than for the support of their armies,
and the excepted countries are Switzerland
and the United States. England spends
nearly 81 per capita upon her army against
70 cents upon education. France makes a
nearly similar exhibit. II the vast sums
lavished upon ornaments deemed necessary
to protect national honor and prestige could
