dies has one that will eventually hunt down
and arrest that particular disease.
Lung and bronchial |:seases are among
the most battling coz: i 8 which doctors
have to deal with; becauso i. isn't the lungs
or bronchial tubes alone which are affected,

lurking place for these elusive maladies.
They change and reappear and dodge
about the system under numberless dis
guises. They are almost always conph-
Gated with liver or stomach troubles, nerv-

The best detective remedy which Nature
has provided to search ont and arrest these
perplexing ailments is DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t lays an arresting
hand directly upon the poisonous, paralyz-
ing elements hiding in the liver and diges-
tive organs.
It gives the blood-making glands power
to manufacture an abundant supply of pure.
red, highly vitalized blood which reinforces
the lungs with healthy tissue; feeds the
nerve centres with power, and builds up
solid muscular flesh and active energy.
Forweak lungs, splitting of blood, shortness
of breath, nasal catarrh, bronchitis, severe
coughs, asthma, and kindred affections, it
is a sovereign remedy. While it promptly
cures the severest cough 1t strengthens
the system and purifies the blood.

INSURANCE GLARS.
A Chicago Opinion on the Power of
State Commissioner.

Under the heading of 1.-The War in
Kansas" the Chicago independent, an
insurance journal gives the following
interesting facts and comment.
The war between the Kansas 1nSur-
ance commissioner and the three life
companies concerned in the HillmOn
case grows apace The commissioner
has gained a temporary. victory in the
dismissal of the contempt proceedings
brought against him in the federal court
but the federal grand jury at Topeka
has indicted him for violating a United
States statute by interfering with the
administration of justice. The Mutual
Life has brought a damage SUIT against
Mr.. McNan for 100000 because of this
alleged interference and the COnnect1-
cut Mutual is reported as about to begin
similar proceedings.
In our opinion, the insurance COM
: missioner was not morally justified in
declining to relicense the three compa-
MES because of their contention in the
Hilmon case, but Mr.. McNalls action
was that of a state officer, and he did
not exceed the power bestowed upon
him by the law of Kansas. The matter
now becomes question as to the SUI
periOrity of the federal courts over
state law and the fight is OF great mo-
ment to the people of this country aside
from any insurance interests.
The insurance commissioner of Kan
sas is vested with no greater power over
companies chartered by other states
! than is held by the state insurance Of
fcers in New York Massachusetts.
other commonwealth. What Mr.. Nc
Nall has done, the insurance commits
SiOnerS Of other states may legally do.
Mr.. ATcNall could have refused to veli-
cense the Connecticut Mutual, the Mu
tual Life and the New York Life with
out stating his reasons for his refusal
and he would have been acting within
the law in so doing.
In refusing to reIicense these COM
panies for the reasons ne gave, ne acted
no more Illegally nor no more unjustly
than the Insurance superintendent of
New York acted when he refused to re-
license the Prussian National Fire In
surance company because certain
American life companies had been ex-
PEELED from Germany for good and suf-
hcient reasons.
The placing of arbitrary power in
the hands of a state insurance officer
is, in our opinion, evidence of bad leglS-
Ia ton, but the people of Kansas have
as clear a right to do this as the people
of New York, Massachusetts and Con-
necticut have. The Allegheny Noun
tain range is not the line of demarca-
ton in this country between right and
wrong, with the right all on the eastern
side. The officers of two of the cOmpa-
MES concerned in this Kansas matter
actively assisted the New York insur-
ago in strengthening his arbitrary
position when ii served their retalia tory
dispositions to do so.
''They seemed to think it was all right
then for their state to do as it did a
their boheSt, and it now appears to us
but the irony of fate that they should
be made to feel the effect Of such arbi-
traTy power when applied to themselves
But of course, this is another ma tier
it is the insurance officer of despised
not the infallible head OF the New York
deDartm6nt,'

OBTAINING OF PARDoNs.
Warden Lands Stops the Brokerage
of the Business at Convicts'
Expense

The operation of alleged pardon
attorneys at Lansing has been of such
a character that Warden Lands has
issued an imperial ukase against them
and has also taken steps which will ne
cessitate an investigation before pris-
oners will be permitted to sign orders
for money to be delivered to outside
parties.
Many of the prisoners have small
amounts of money coming in each
month, in the way of pensions, allow
ances from friends, relatives, and also
from other sources. but the pardon
sharks claiming to have power abso-
lutte, to secure pardons, have been get
ting away with it, and the prisoners
have been getting nothing.
For example: Recently a man we'll
acquainted with the cOnYicts, has been
communicating with the prisoners, as
certaining how much money they had
and offering to secure a pardon for that
amount The practice is to take the
money in advance, the convicts some
times hearing from their cases. but more
frequently being subject to disappoint-
ment.
Rev. J. Morehead of Baldwin, who
was chaplain of the penitentiary under
airy few weeks ago with an order to
the warden for money, signed by a con-
Wet. The warden is the custodian of
money belonging to the cOnvicts.
What is this money for?" asked Ian
dis
Unsatisfactory answers caused War
den Lands 10 Sead 1of the convict VINO
had sighed the order for the money, and
severely arraigned Mr.. Morehead in his
presence. Mr.. Lands explained that
Morehead could not secure a pardon
more successfully than could the con-
Wet by direct application to the gov
ernor. who has absolute control of that
power.
The result was that the money was
not paid, and hereafter men holding or
ders for money belonging to conyicts
will have to show more cause than "a
first instaIlment on fees for pardon ap-
plication.'' before it is paid.
Gov Leedy said:
This is a bad practice and I am glad
that Lands is taking steps to abolish
it, Convicts are almost held up by
these alleged lawyers who deceive the

will be granted

THE SCHOOL FUND.
Letter From James D. Snoddy Com
mending a Populist Officials
Gn11rea

A. P. Williams, assistant state treas
urer, has received a number of letters
commencing him for he stand taken
against the Graham county bond trans
actions. Anon. others is one from Col
onel James D SnOddy of Linn county,
who, in commencing Mr.. Williams takes
occasion t. remark that the move is
indeed wise, a the school fund has in
years past been subjected to the plum
dering of irresponsible politicians and
the manipulations of brokers whose
mission is to profit even at the expense
OF the most sacred fund in the control
of the state.
Attorney General Boyle says the men
who negotiated the Graham county
bonds represented that the credit of
the county was good, and the school
fund commissioners We're officially in
formed by the proper authorities from
Graham county that the county had
not defaulted in its interest. This is
the only means the commissioners have
of obtaining such information. He
says that if it be true, as represented
by the agents for the sale of the bonds
that they are good he will take the
proper steps to compel the treasurer
of state to pay the warrant drawn up
on him. He. however, cOnfesses that
deception was practiced in the minor
details of the transaction. For in
stance, the county is behind in its state
taxes, and some school districts of the
county have not paid interest due on
their bonds But these delinqUencies
do not affect the legality or value of
this particular $4,000 block of bonds of
the county. If the interest on these
bonds had been paid in good faith he
believes the bargain for them ought
to be cOnsummated.
1t is likely that Treasurer HeflebOwer
viii not pay the warrant until 50 or
dered by the supreme court. The law
requires that ne shall countersign all
warrants and Mr.. Hehebower wants
to know if that duty is only ministerial
or if it is discretionary in him.

SEEKING PARTY ADVANTAGE
A Boston Populist Writes on Kansas
Populist Legislation.

Representative c. w Fairchild of
kingman has received from Horace
CroWeu of Boston,a member of the Bos-
ton real estate exchange, a letter of in
Quiry concerning an extra session of the
legislature. The letter touches also up
on railroad legislation, and says:
1T seems to me that in spite of any
offer or proposition which the railroads
may make regarding rates, that the
Populist party would not get any cred
it for the same as a party, except the
same be Incorporated in a law; this
would make it a party measure, and the
credit of obtaining such rates would
accrue to that party.
1T seems to me that the Populist
party is likely to lose heavily in the flu
ture, unless it redeems itself by plac-
ing on record such gains or advantages
IS they may acquire by private negotIa-
lions.
"Of course the effect of obtaining IA
vorable rates from the railroads is a
benefit, but such benefits would not
greatly help the Populist party unless
they were enacted by the legislature,
and [ am watching with considerable
interest to see what will be done in
Kansas to perpetuate that party"
