Notes and Comment,

Senator Foraker says that II the board
of inquiry reports that the Spaniards
blew up the Maine that there will be
war. But his announcement Is not
worth as much as an equally definite
statement from the other Ohio Senator
Big manufacturers and property own
ers at Providence suggest that each Of
the Atlantic States buy warship for
protection for the big cities. The idea
grows out Of knowledge OF the fact that
the government cannot supply adequate
protection.
It Is now alleged that the cablegram
communicating Father McGlynn for
his support Of Henry George and the
single tax in 1886 was forgery. While
at Rome last year the records were
searched and nothing was found relative
to the matter.
Judging from the wall that the Wine
and Spirit Gazette and other papers OF
It's class are setting up about hard times,
prosperity is a good way of In the IL

the last to suffer from adverse condl-

With the money received from his
literary work Mark Twain has man
aged to pay off the enormous debt for
which he became obligated by the fall
ure of his publishing house some years
ago. The London Times says that there
is nothing in history which Is quite
equal to his conduct In this matter ex-
cept the case of Sir Walter Scott.
The Virginia Legislature has repealed
the law placing license tax on newspa-
pers and reduced appropriations $4,000.
The Governor vetoed the bill authorizing
the appointment Of women aSrnOtaries

liable for damages to employees whether
or not fellow employees carelessness

A young navy officer who likes TO see
his name in print Is liable to get into

given to the newspapers with respect to

the accident occurred and lot OF papers

matter Of fact, he never was within

Shawnee Without a Candidate,

The Topeka Republican Flambeau
club has passed resolutions declaring
for Charley Curtis for Congress and
opposing the candidacy Of any Shawnee
county man for State Office. The resO-

Republican Convention Goes 10 Hutchinson,
The Republican State committee
meeting was a decidedly interesting one.
Marshal Sterne, who was going to stay
out of State politics while holding a
Federal Office, made a fight on the mem
bers of the self-constituted executive
Committee. These fellows we're ap-
pointed by the chairman without au-
thorlty and had nerve enough TO come
into the regular committee and attempt
to vote, and they were sustained by
Chairman Simpson, presumably by dl-
rection Of Leland. The vote on the To-
cation OF the State convention resulted
In Hutchinson receiving % votes to To-
peka's II. Leland's fight against To-
peka was based on the ground Of It's In
adequate convention hall. Leland
wanted the convention held June g.
while Mr.. Sternes friends favored June
81. Leland won by vote Of 25 to TO-
Leland's unauthorized executive COM
mittee were allowed to vote by about
the same vote. The fight is doubtless
the beginning Of a long one between
two equally INSCRIPTIONS politicians.

BAGS ANOTHER COMBINE.
McNall Goes After the Ani-Rebats Board
Maintained by Insurance Companies.

Insurance Commissioner MCNall has
discovered another OF the series of COM
bines maintained by the insurance COM
panles. It Is the anti-rebate board. The
purposes Of the board are shown by the
following extracts from the contract
signed by the companies who are par
ties to It:
"That on the decision Of the referee
that any person connected in any Ca
pacity with any company, party hereto,
has made any rebate In any manner
whatsoever, directly or indirectly, such
person shall Immediately be dismissed
from the service OF said company, and
shall not, for a period Of one year there
after, he again employed by any COM
pany hereto.
"That fund of 10000 shall be placed
in the hands Of such referee, which fund
shall be contributed and continuously
maintained by assessment on the sew
eral companies parties hereto, In pro-
portion to the amount Of insurance
written in the year 1894.
"That said referee is authorized at his
discretion to offer reward for the evil
dence necessary to establish violation
of any rebate law, or Of any article OF
this agreement, not exceeding $1OO in
any one case"
Speaker Reed, of the National House
of Representatives, is the referee and
gets $4,000 per year for performing
these duties. Mr.. McNall says that this
is a clear violation Of the Kansas anti
trust law and that the companies par
ticipating must Immediately withdraw
or be barred from the State. The COM
panies which subscribe to this agree
ment are:
