THE supreme court of Wisconsin last
week decided an insurance case of great i'm.
portance. not only to the parties directly in
volved, but to several OF the big life and ac-
cident companies which do business in
Wisconsin. 1t is that OF the Travellers In-
surance Company of Hartford, Conn,
against Insurance Commissioner Frick, for
an injunction restraining him from revok-
ing its license in the states, which he has
promised to do unless the company pays
back taxes amounting with interest TO about
S34O0 which the commissioner claims is
due. The supreme court affirmed the de-
csion Of the lower court and the Travellers
Company will lay S34 900 in back license
fees. Other companies affected will bring
total sum involved up to S104, 900

Balance in favor of DiDgley law, S16,-
6l5,743.
In spite of the fact that during the
closing days of the Mckinley law, i'm
portations were held, that they might
come in later under the Wilson tariff,
and in spite of the fact that importa-
tions were rushed in during the closing
weeks of the Wilson law TO avoid the
new Dingley duties-in spite of this
double evasion of protective tariffs, the
Dingley law has beaten the Wilson law
in producing revenues for correspond
ing periods of seven months by more
than $16,000,000.
Since the Dingley law went into oper-
alton the customs receipts have more
than doubled. Those for September
were a million more than for August !;
for October nearly two million more
than for September; for November, a
further gain over October; for Deem
Der, nearly two million over November;
for January, more than two and half
million over December, and for Feb
ruary (having only twenty-eight days),
nearly million more than January.
The Republican party promised a
tariff law that would give the govern
ment the revenue it needed. 1t has
kept it's word. Furthermore, the Ding
ley law is not yet yielding its fullest re-
ceipts. 1t will give still more revenues
and still bigger SURPRISES to wipe out
the shameful record of deficiency and
bankruptcy forced on this nation by the
Wilson law of the Democratic party

THE Loud bill to correct alleged abuses
OF the second class mail matter privilege
which last year passed the House by ma
jority Of la to 10+, was buried under an
overwhelming majority by the House last
Thursday. The vote was not taken directly
upon the bill but on motion to lay it on
the table. By vote Of 1862 to 119 the mo-
ton was carried. Forty-seven republicans
joined with the democrats and populsts in
accomplishing this result and ten democrats
with the majority of the republicans. The
refusal OF Mr.. Loud to permit a vote on
amendments at the last minute was respon-
sible in a measure for the result but the
strength Of the measure undoubtedly waned
throughout the three days debate.

its respects to President Washington on the
