The directors and number adjusters
report that there is a general feeling
that the association will not be expected
to pay 10 full in a year like this and
that they will do business the same
next year as the affairs of the company
have been we'll handled. President
Campbell also has the same report to
10 AXE from losers he has seen.
While the association will not be able
to pay IN full they will be able to pay
more than was expected on account OF
the general and unprecedented storms
Many who thought the company could
not pay over 50 per cent OF the losses
will be pleased to know that the amount
will be considerably over that.

Postal Card Opinions.

The Farm and Home OF Chicago has
interviewed 1000 farmers OF the north
west by postal cards on questions grow
ing out of the war with Spain, and the
replies are interesting at this time. OF
the total number of replies received so
per cent more favor Philippine indepen-
dence than voted for their subJection.
But five times as many want the United
States to adhere to it's former policy OF
non-interference with nations beyond
either ocean, as favoring departing from
that policy. BY big majority our farm.
ers favor the independence of Cuba. On
the other hand by an equally large ma
jority. they want Porto isica to be an
nexed to the United States or be held as
a territory rather than colony. Opinion
is about equally divided as to whether
there should be free trade between the
United States and Porto Rico, Cuba
aud the Philippines. Yet by a practi-
cally unanimous vote, the farmers pro-
test against contracts or coolle labor in
Hawaii and other tropical dependencies
and the fostering Of agriculture in the
tropics to the detriment OF farmers in
the continental states. The votes are al
so practically unanimous that United
States senators should be elected by the
naOnle
