For the benefit OF the Topeka Capital
and the readers Of the Advocate and News
! will give a few paragraphs from the
Mine Inspectors report for 1895. l want TO
use this one because IL was out before j.
w. Leedy was Governor or II. s. Lands
was Warden.

other things, says: But this will not ap-
ply to the large companies which prac-
tically control the trade, who sink, equip

ing mines, only to allow them to stand
Idle altogether or remain open and In OPP
GRAFTON less than One-half the time. The
large operators, then-whO are practically
the railroad c0mpanies-must have some
object in view when they invest money
developing mines which they know posi-
lively cannot be kept in operation. It has
been pretty thoroughly demonstrated, at
least In the coal producing trade, that the
less work man can get to perform and
the less money he earns-in fact, the
poorer he is-the more humble and SUBJ
serVlent he becomes, and therefore the
more subject to control"
Again, on page 10l, Mr. Brown, among
other things, says: 1T is not so much the
amount earned per day-although every
man VINO knows anything OF the danger
and discomfort attendant upon work in a
coal mine Will admit that 1t is far too
loW-that distresseS and pauperlzes, but
the number of days men have an Opportu-
nifty. to work. If any man thinks the
word pauperize is too strong, let him take
his wife and two or three children, rent
a house, support his family, send his chill
dren to school and keep out Of debt on less
than dollar per day and he will soon find
his spirit. Of independence getting to a very
low ebb"
Those were the conditions during Nor
rilPs administration, and yet the Topeka
Capital never said .NE0Td about 1t. Why?
Because 1t dared not. Because It Is the
subservlent tool Of the Republican politi-
clan and corporations. 1t can yawp away,
but 1t cannot convince the miner that
the present State government is NOT the
best Kansas has ever had.
II l did not know the language in Mr.
Browns report was true l would not use
1t, but b! can say with the poet, 20 see

II Attorney General Boyle Is not re-nom-
mated and elected a Republican will be.
No pickering, trading gang of whatever
party can displace him If he will take II.
Boyle has done more for the producers of
Kansas than all the lawyers that ever
looked upon her dominion. Unlike the
Legislature, Boyle did as he agreed to; and,
while the Legislature should be kicked
all that one has time to spend in that
way, have no fault to make Of what
was done by them, but what was not
done"
The Democratic Congressional steering
committee was as well aware as any Of
us that the "besOtted tyrant' had killed
the Democratic party, and they "steered'
up to Chicago, where they stole largely
OF the Populist platform, and later on
Populist delegates from Kansas at St.
Louis-premeditated doubt not. But any
Democrat, Republican or POpullst that
could not and did not see that the POpulist
party had to be destroyed or one or the
other or both Of the old parties sub
merged knew but little. All the Populists
needed to have done was to have Obeyed
mented Col. POlk-"keep in the middle Of
the road" and stay on the Omaha plat
form.
Now, brethren. the resuscltation of the
Democratic party having been made by
taking of the life blood Of the Populist
party for subsistence during '96, 1t is now
abroad in this fair land that the goldbug
Democrats are setting their pins to pass
q gOldbug plank in the 1900 national Demo-
cratic convention. Oh, no; let the Repub-
licans do as they like; let us look at our
selves as best we can although (nation-
ally) we are in the whales bosom.

State Insurance.
DAVID DORAN.

I am in favor of State insurance COM
pany to insure the lives Of citizens, and
even farm and city property. 1t seems
to me such State organization should be
maintained in Kansas, and all money de-
rived from 1t turned into the State treas
ury and State to settle losses to policy
holders ] think the risk on farm prop
erty Is less than on city property, conse-
quently the charges for carrying such risk
would necessarily vary according to such
risk.
The State should not attempt to run
such an institution on losing scale, but
it's aim should be to make some money
out Of the transaction. And 1t ought to
make enough from such transaction to pay
great many other State expenses. We
can plainly see that there will be no need
of levy being made against every tax
payer for State purpose for insurance
And at all events 1t seems more desirable
to the citizens Of the State for a surplus to
pile up IN our State treasury than for
the like to pile up to the credit of some
Eastern corporation, where said funds are
out of the reach and control of the State
In short, build up home and not foreign
institutions.
think, as people in general want insur-
ance, 1t Is but just and proper for our State
to establish an institution of this kind
for the protection Of its citizens. 1t should
aim to make some money out of the busl-
ness, for It aims to carry the risks at cost
there Is danger of State loss.
Since Kansas has been a State I am of
the opinion that there has been enough
money taken out of the State by what is
termed old-line companies to build a num-
ber Of lines Of electric railways the length
Of the State, and IL such an insurance COM
pany had been started thirty years ago
and all these amounts that have piled I'M
to the credit Of Eastern corporations had
been thus expended would not many of
our citizens feel Just pride in our home
institutions? Let us study our own State
interests and act accordingly.
