Dickinson County has adopted resolu-
tions in which Senator Hanna is se-
verely roasted. 1t Is shown that he
has repudiated the Populist platform.
The resolutions recite that "he has
failed to rise above the commercial
stage in politics and has cOnsOrted
with and befriended corporations"
His resignation is demanded, after de-
Clsring that he does not represent the
Populists of the county.
The Endorsements OF Maj. Tom An
dersOn for Pension Agent at Topeka
contain the names Of about 10000
Kansas soldiers, besides hundreds Of
men of all parties. The paper on
which the Endorsements are written
weighs sixty pounds. The Mckinley
Administration will have an Oppor-
tunlty to show whether 1t cares to re-
spect the wishes Of the veterans Of the
West In regard to a matter in which
they have right to feel interested.
Atwood Patriot: Judge Geiger is
one of the best Judges sitting in the
State Of Kansas. For nearly four years
he has held court in the Seventeenth,
and in all that time no one has ssssiled
his ability or integrity. His decisions
are, in the great majority, sustained by
the Supreme Court when carried up.
He is one of the ablest lawyers In Kan

John d. Knox, who as a banker In
Topeka received large deposits from
Methodist organizations and after
ward failed, losing nearly all Of them,
was formerly minister in that church.
After the failure he was tried by the
church authorities with view to ex.
pelling him. Several trials went
against him, but he always appealed
to the higher church authorities. The
last appeal was heard at st. Joseph,
Mo-, before q court Of ministers pre-
sided over by Bishop Merrill. He was
acquitted, and his trouble 30 far as
church matters are concerned Is doubt
less ended.
The reports of the fire at the Peni-
tentisEy last Friday night have been
very greatly exaggerated by the daily
press. The loss is really about $500 on
the building and $1,000 on clothing
supplies. The fire started, no one
knows how, in the room in which the
chewing tobacco is stored, This room
is close to the clothing department, to
which the flames rapidly spread and In
which most of the damage was done.

some points which are Of interest In
connection with the insurance fight
now In progress in this State. The
case was from Wisconsin, which State
had a law providing that companies
organized In other States must sign an
agreement not to take cases into the
Federal Court. The Continental In
surance Company Of Connecticut had
filed such an agreement and later vio.
lated it by taking case to the Federal
Court. AT this point the company,
fearing that the Secretary Of State,
who was acting as Insurance Commis-
sioner, would revoke It's license to do
business, procured a restraining order
to prevent such revocation. The case
reached the United States Supreme
Court. In the courts decision many
points Of interest were passed on.
The case was entitled Doyle vs.. Con.
tinental Insurance Company, and the
decision will be found In the United
States Supreme Court Report, volume
81, page 595. One section of the sylla-
bus is as follows: ga State has the
right to impose conditions, not In con.
fllct with the constitution or the laws
of the United States, to the transaction
Of business within It's territory by an
insurance company chartered by an
other State, or to exclude such COM
psny from its territory, or, having
given a license, to revoke 1t, with OF
without cause"
In the opinion the following reasons
for the above conclusions are given;
"The cases Of Bank Of Augusta v,
Earle, Ducat v. Chicago, Paul v. Vir-
ginis, and Lafayette Insurance Com.
pany v. French, establish the principle
that State may impose upon for
eign corporation, as a condition OF
coming into or doing business within
its territory, any terms, conditions and
restrictions it may think proper, that

or laws of the United States. y

The State of Wisconsin, except so far
as Its connection with the constitution

If the State has the power to
cancel the license, 1t has the power to
Judge of the cases In which cancella-
tion shall be made. 1t has the power
to determine for what causes and in
what manner the revocation shall be
made. 1t is said that we thus indi

new law could have such a marvellous
effect upon trade conditions in SO short
a time, NO careful observer will deny
that the revival of business confidence
has been steady and continuous since
its enactment. 1t is an illustration of
what a settled economic policy on the
part Of the Government will do for the
business interests Of the country.
The significant features OF the pho
n0menal trade Improvement are the
heavy increase in iron production and
consumption, the largest payments
through cleafings ever known in Octo-
her, the increase in the employment of
labor and the record breaker in wheat
exports. At every point where actual
production can he tested it appears
greater than before. The increase in
the employment of labor has continued
and there are daily reports of resump-

advances in wages.
