A Miserable Apology.

Now we have the defense of
Judge Williams of Arkansas, who
was overtaken in Colorado and pur.
suaded to issue an order forbid ding
Kansas to sue an Eastern life in
surance company for violations of
laws of the state.
Judge Williams declares that
there was statute of Kansas which
forbade the exclusion of foreign in
surance companies so long as they
were solvent. So, being satisfied
that the company in question was
solvent, Judge Williams ordered
the state authorities not to modest
it even il it did break laws.
Other authorities on Kansas laws
than Judge Williams of Arkansas
and Colorado oppose his views.
They say that he is wrong about
the Kansas statute. Pointing out
that a foreign corporation has no
inherent right to do business in
state in which it is not chartered,
they assert that the Kansas statute
provides simply that foreign insur-
ance companies may do business in
Kansas when they can satisfy the
commissioner that they are reput'
able, solvent and honest. In VIII ich
case they are licensed.
If this statement is as correct as
it is plausible, there is no excuse
for Judge Williams interference in
a purely local matter. His order
forbidding Kansas access to the
courts is then plainly illegal.
Even if Judge Williams, of Ar
kansas and Colorado, should prove
to Know the laws of Kansas more
accurately than he appears he
would still be in the wrong. For
with the most favorable hypothesis
he has, i'll order to stop the revo-
cation of a corporations license,
suspend the right of the state to en-.
force obedience to it's laws through
the courts. lie has set aside con.
stitutional, statute, and common
law. He has ordered anarchy to
reign.
Judge Williams has yet to ex-
plain some features of his action.
Why did he yield so readily to re-
quest which his colleague sternly
refused? Why did Judge Williams,
out in Colorado, summarily decide
this case without giving slightest
notice to the Kansas authorities?
Why did he suspend State from
its legal rights as peremptorily and
decisively as if that were matter
of course? What were his motives?
Judge Williams order may be
quickly vacated by his colleague
In the meantime he may undertake
to explain the mysteries of his
course, though Justice Shiras new

If we must use metal for money,
why is it better to go to Alaska for
gold than to Colorado for silver !
Every dollar of increase in the
Treasury reserve" means dollar
less for the people to do business
with.
Bank notes represent loan from
the people to the banks, on which
the people-the lenders-pay the
interest. -.s
No man can fully understand the
money question till he gets away
from the idea that money is COM
modify.
Why should the miners have to
strike lust as the tariff on coal was
raised? Does not the tariff go to
the working man?
No financial system will bring
liberty which leaves the control OF
money in the hands of corporations
and monopolies.
If the hard times last fall were
caused by the threat of free sill
ver," what has caused the hard times
of the last three months?
Why do the gold-bug organs re-
ioice over the recent discoveries Of
gold? Do they not fear that it will
result in fifty.c cent dollar?
Queer that Uncle Sans endorse
ment will make the notes of the
most worthless bank good as
gold" but he cannot issue notes
himself that will be good.
The predictions of returning pros
perity in gold.bug organs are most
ly based on reports of good crops.
Did the gold standard cause the
good crops?
I If you vote for bad party be-
cause you hope thereby to retain
your job, you show to the world
that you love your job more than
you love your country.
Gold-bug papers point with pride
to the discoveries of gold. 1t a
large production of silver is such
bad thing, why is a large production
of gold a good one?
The anxiety of the banks to get
rid of the greenbacks would be less
open to suspicion if it were not &C
companied by the proposition that
they, the banks. shall issue the cur
rencr.
If an advance in prices, caused
by free coinage, would cut down
the soldiers pension, why will not
an advance in prices, caused by the
tariff, cut down that pension, also!
The talk about the "intrinsic
value" of gold meets commentary
in the report that comes from Alaska
of man with gold enough to buy
a dozen farms begging with tears
for a crust of bread
If an advance in prices, caused
by free coinage of silver, would be
a "debasement of the currenny,"
why will not an advance of prices,
caused by the tariff, be "debase
ment of The currency" also?
A nan goes to bank aud gives
10 tie bank his note (promise to
pay with interest. The bank in
return. gives the man the banks
note (promise to pay without in

sided transaction?
He who supports gold standard
papers is furnishing his country's
enemies with the sinews of war.
There is never enough money In

Money that is good for the pur

CATARRH CANNOT BE CUREn

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURE,
With local applications, as they
cannot reach the seat OF the dis.
ease. catarrh is blood or consti-
tutional disease, and in order to
cure it, you must take internal rem.
edies. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces.
HALLS Catarrh Cure is not quack
medicine. 1t was prescribed by one
of the best physicians in this coun.
try for years, and is a regular pre-.
scription. 1t is composed OF the
best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting di.
iectly on the mucous surfaces. The
perfect combination of the two in
gradients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh.
