A Big Victory for BOYLE.

1t Is not possible for the writer to do
credit TO Attorney General Boyle for his
success In the stock yards fight In a
better way than it is done by Fred Van
degrlft in the Kansas City Star. He
says:
"The result of the big stock yards
fight before Judge Foster Is a great VIC
tory for Attorney General Boyle. To be
sure, he had the wisdom and steady
hand Of eX-Chief Justice Martin, one Of
the foremost jurists of the West, to as
sist him; but that mainly was in pre-
senting the many knOtty points OF law
involved in the controversy, leaving the
plan Of battle and the presentation of
facts to Mr. Boyle. In this he showed the
foresight and mastery Skill Of a general.
AT every turn he was prepared to re-
sist the attacks of the enemy, winning
the praise Of lawyers who watched the
struggle, and often the admiration of
the usually impassive Judge who pre-
sided. Toward the end the lawyers on
the other side, selected on account OF
long success at the bar, turned from the
merits OF the case, and in the final ar
gument before the special master di-
rected their attacks upon Mr.. Boyle
personally. In that engagement, too, he
proved his ready wit and skill as a de-
batter Mr.. BOyle's success in the stock
yards case has not only won him dis
tinctlon in his profession, but also the
confidence of the constituency which
elevated him to the official position he
now holds"

whose interest IL was established, and
second, Of the State and nation as
whole. To our critics we say, II this be
treason, make the most Of It.
The more freely certain persons critl-
else, the more clearly they reveal the
fact that their idea Of an agricultural
and industrial college is an institution
existing primarily to raise up race of
Gibeonites-hewers Of wood and drawers
of water for those who boast that they
"own the country" and will continue to
control It," That such is their idea we
confess that we have all along suspected;
now 1t daily grows more obvious.
Hence we may understand their aver
sion to the genuine enlightenment Of
those who toll. 1t Is not so long, In fact,
since 1t was a crime to teach a black
worker even TO read We are glad to see
our critics emerge from the bushes and
show their colors.

Bad Showing for The Travellers,

Some time ago Insurance Commits
sioner McNall discovered that the real
estate holdings of the Travellers Acct
dent Insurance Company in Kansas were
greatly Overvalued He concluded that
If such a condition existed with reference
to all OF its assets 1t was questionable
whether the company was solvent, so ne
decided to make an examination of it's
books This the company objected to-
Fearing that McNalI would revoke it's
license, the company went to the Fed
eral court last week and obtained an
order restraining him from taking such
action. This Of itself was evidence that
the company feared the results of an
examination. Mr.. McNall puts the mat
ter in a very clear light in the following
remarks on the subject:
when an insurance company of any
kind goes into court to prevent an ex-
animation Of it's assets it is prima facie
evidence that 1t is rotten. Out of nearly
$2,OOO,O00 in real estate holdings owned
by the Travellers of Hartford, over $780,
O0O OF the same are in Kansas. Our in
srance law provides that when the In
surance Commissioner questions the
truthfulness or correctness of an annual
report, he is directed to proceed with an
examination such as proposed to direct
against the Travellers. This proceeding
is perhaps the most unusual on record in
the State"
He then relates that four years ago the
New York Life requested the Commits
sioner in Kansas and several other
States to examine it's books, and says:
In this instance the company was very
glad to have the report from the Super
lntendents showing the assets to be- in
good condition. The Kansas depart

In Whose Interest Should the Agricultural
College be OOnduoted2

TO teach the agricultural and indus
trial classes to produce wealth is re-
garded by some as eminently proper and
praiseworthy. To teach them, however,
to secure their fair share of the wealth
they will otherwise wear their lives away
in producing, Is regarded by these per-
sons as highly Objectionable.
When we teach some to SOW that 9TH
ers may reap, whose interests are we
promoting, those Of the sower or those
of the reaper?
The land grant colleges, by the terms
OF the organic act and subsequent acts,
exist for the benefit Of the producing and
not for the benefit Of the fleeing classes.

Of the affairs OF the Kansas Mutual,
which was solicited by the company, and
1t was made at the request Of the officers
OF the company. II Is a solvent instItu-
tion and the directors were not afraid to
have their assets examined. Every dol
lar Of their assets is deposited with the
State Treasurer of Kansas"
McNall then tells about the refusal of
the Travellers to allow the Texas and
North Dakota Commissioners to make
an examination one year ago, and adds:
Amy company that is solvent courts an
examination by any State insurance de-
partment, the same as any bank that is
solvent courts an investigation by bank
examiner l insist that IL this company
did not fear the result Of the examina-
tion proposed there would have been
no objections offered"

Penitentiary Earnings Nearly Equal to
Expenses.

The September financial report Of
Warden Lands Of the Penitentiary is q
very satisfactory showing. The earn
ings were $11, ,05723, and the expenses
reached $l477391. OF the last amount,
$3,O75.41 was for improvements and
$3O6.O1 for repairs, which can hardly be
classed as regular expenses. With these
items out, the earnings lack but small
amount Of being equal to the regular ex-
penses, which is splendid showing. It
indicates that Warden Lands will soon
have that institution in condition so
that 1t will pay its own way.

The Thlrty-third district, composed Of

present Judge, having served two terms.

No serious objections are heard to any
of the candidates on the Populist ticket.
Every report tends to show that quite
strong nominations have been made.
Combinations have been effected with
little friction. These arrangements seem
to be harmonious and satisfactory to all.
Ability, fairness and integrity, rather
than political considerations, seem to
have been the qualifications looked for
by silver conventions. AS a result, the
nominees are men who can be cheerfully
supported with feeling that their work
on the bench will be creditable to the
voters who place them there. Judicial
places are important ones and must be
sooner or later secured by the reform ele-
ments if hopes are entertained of secur-
Ing relief for the people. 1t is therefore
the duty of every reformer to do every
hing in his power to win every Judicial
seat possible this year.

An InCeudiary's Work.

There Is little doubt In the minds Of the
residents Of New London township,
Chester County, but that the fire at the
William Stewart farm, on Friday, by
which the immense barn and all its con.
tents were totally destroyed, was the work
of an incendiary, and that the intention
had been to destroy not only the barn, but
the other buildings on the place as we'll.
No object Is known for the act, but 1t was
undoubtedly one Of malice against either
Mr.. Stewart the owner, whose home Is at
Lansdowne, or the occupant Of the place.
Henry Hlldebaugh.
When the fire was discovered and the
neighbors. attracted by the light, FASTENED
to the scene, 1t was found that previous to
the fire being started the handle OF the
pump at the farm, which furnished the
only water which could have been used
on the barn, had been removed Nor was
this all. The rope OF the bell, which
would be used to alarm tho nejghbors Of
the fire, had been cut close to the bell
and carried away SO that 1t could not be
used.
Tho barn which was destroyed was built
about twenty-five years ago to replace one
which was also destroyed by fire and was
one OF the largest and best in that locality.
The barn was insured for $1,000 and will be
rebuilt at once Mr.. Hildebaugh had q
partial insurance on the contents, but
estimates his loss at $3.50.

HaAsrus CORNING DEFENDED.

3ishop Doane Denies Stories Of HIS
Alleged Extravaganza. ~
Albany, n. r, Nov. H.--When Q few
months ago Erastus Corning died here,
q reputed millionaire and connected
with many large institutions. many
Newspaper articles appeared claiming
that his money had been extrava-
gantly squandered, and that $12, 900, 900
left him by his father had disappeared.
From the pulpit Of All Saints cathedral
yesterday Bishop Doane, while men,
tioning Mr.. Corning's many gifts to
the church. denied these stories and
put the matter In q new light. Ac-
cording to Bishop Doane the elder
Corning left very little but encum-
bered property for his son. The bishop
said:
"He was a richer man before his
fathers death than when he came by
inheritance into the possession of a
large property, which was seriously
embarrassed and encountered. He was
confronted with problem which the
average business man would have met
by simply letting mortgages be fore
closed and debts paid by whatever
amount OF money he could accrue from
the SALE But his love for his father
and his reverence for his good name
and memory led him at this time to
take position which was heroic. The
later embarrassment of his fortune was
due neither to carelessness nor lavish
expenditures of money, but to the sem
timent of maintaining the institution
which had borne his fathers name"
