THE TRUTH ABOUT M'NALL.
After Eighteen Months of Talking He Has
Succeeded In Keeping Rates Down
to whore They Were

Having heartily endorsed Webb Nc
Nails fight ON the insurance compa-
MES because their exorbitant rates
ought to have been reduced long ago,
l hoped to see him succeed. But am
beginning to doubt his sincerity or his
ability. He has been in over ~ years
and the insurance rates are still just
as high as before he took charge. In
fact where they are not at the old
schedule they are higher.
Last month had to renew several
policies, two in town and one on farm
buildings and the premiums were just
as high on the same amounts as the
old policies showed they were one and
three years ago. l then inquired OF
the merchants in Wellington, Paola
and other towns, as we'll as of farmers,
to find out there had been no rednc-
ton of rates. The only instance OF
low rate was in Paola when the poll
cies on the public school buildings
were given to the lowest bidder, and
local agents cut down their own COM
missions to beat the other fellows.
So, it strikes me that my friend, In
surance Commissioner McNall, has
been fighting more with his mouth
than in any other way. With the
state administration, the legislature,
the supreme court and three-fourths
of the Kansas newspapers, regardless
of politics, backing him, if he can't or
won't make any reduction of insurance
rates in one year and eight months,
he is no good. His fight has been
noisy and apparently plucky, but
rates that the people must pay for in
surance are just as high as they were
before he went in. 1t begins to look
as though Mr. McNall, while reliable
gentleman in private business, Is
humbug and fraud as commissioners
of insurance.

THE LAST ON EARTH
To Criticise william Mckinley Should BE
John w. Leedy, Kansas Weak and
vaEclliating Governor.

And Gov. Lcedy calls him weak"
A fine word is that to come from .
public man who has played fast and
loose with every question; who has
failed in every business he ever under
took; who has pandered to the worst
elements of the cities; who poses as
an enemy of corporations, and is de-
clared by the leading railroad attor-
ney to be "a bulwarlf against railroad
legislation"
Gov. Leedy may call President Nc
Kinley weak" but the American peo-
pie, without regard to party, have
learned to depend on his judgment,
his courage and his steadfastness. We
predict that a candidate for public
Office who thus tries to Islander the
president of the whole people will
never receive majority of the votes
of the state Of Kansas. -Hutchinson

OUT AGAINST LEEDY.
Ex-Sheriff Chauncey Flora, of orth
County, Bolts the Fusiouists-Hls
Reasons Why.

Chauncey Flora, sheriff Of Leaven-
worth county, two terms and one of the
democratic leaders of that part of Kan
sas, announced that he was opposed to
the reelection of Governor Leedy and
fusion. Mr.. Flora could have had a
fusion nomination for the legislature
but he declined to permit the use of his
name. When asked about it he said:
II would not allow myself to be nolni-
mated because it would imply an in
dorsement of Leedy, and that should
vote for him for governor l don't
believe that Leedy is either dem
ocrat or populist. He is for Leedy,
and no one else. l believe that he
sold every appointment in his gift. 1t
is my opinion that he will not begin
to carry the state"

More Yellow Teyer.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 19-Following
the announcement that Train Dis
patcher Manley had yellow fever,
many persons left town. Numbers
more are preparing to leave. The city
is disquieted. Two more suspicious
cases have been found. The larger
West end, including the Union depot,
is cordoned and quarantined from the
balance of the town. A general spread
is probable. Persons exposed to sus-
pected cases are being hourly sent to
detention camps.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. 49,
More depredations are reported to have
occurred in the neighborhood of Utu'

cafetals have been burned and two

RACES are attributed to the lower
classes of the natives, actuated by
spirit of revenge, and lawless gang

given, and there can be no doubt of
the truth of the reports In the

a republican ticket who for number
of years had been populists. Another
county reports % former members OF
the free silver party as taking part in
the work of a republican county
convention; and there will be
others, great many of whom will
say nothing of their intention, but
who, when the time comes to enter
the little booth, will cast their vote
for the old party which has done so
much to merit their confidence, and
which has never yet betrayed trust
placed in it, the party which runs the
nation as successfully as it did the
state, and under whose administra-
ton no scandals arose which made the
name OF Kansas reproach.-Capital.
