The president has from the first dis
armed his critics in mastery fashion.
When the conduct of the war was
brought into question he appointed a
com mission of men of sterling worth,
who have gone into the matter and
have prepared themselves to make an
exhaustive report. Now that the ques-
ton of the future of the Philippines
has come into greatest prominence. he
has in many ways shown his cautious
and care taking character, in refusing
to be led aside from his clear path of
duty by the accusations or the criti-
cisms of his political opponents. The
president, in common with the major
ity of the republican party. believes
that the future of the Philippines has
not got to be settled in day. He is
not one of those fellows who, like the
Kansas populists, believe that q law
and little authority will settle any
question and save the country in q
minute. He feels that the matter is
one too weighty to settle without care-
full and deliberate consideration. Not
having the means at hand to ascertain
for himself the real conditions, social
and political, on the islands, he has
appointed a commission which is COM
posed of such able men, in whom every
one feels perfect confidence, that it's
conclusions will be highly important.
Surely the president is proceeding in
the very best possible way. Even the
democrats, at least those who are not
blinded by their spsrty jealousy, can
see that it will take time to adjust our
selves to the new conditions, and 1t
will be nothing strange If our ideas

"DOWN WITH THE RAILROADS. "

One of the most theatrical politica
demonstrations that have occurred fol
long time was the late special session
of the Kansas legislature. The
populist governor and the populist
legislature had been re-
pudiated. They were about to 60 out
of Office when the fool governor, in the
last quarter of his brief reign of gu
thority, called q special session of the
Legislature on the ground of "grave
emergency" and with his fellow idiots
proceeded to fill up the statute books
with q whole raft of SO called laws
which embodied In the state statutes
some of the widest of the populistic
notions.
Two of the principal enactmente
which were left to the state as legacy
by the retiring kindergarten were the
railroad and insurance laws that had
been the special pets of the governor.
and for the passage of which, regard
less of law and constitution, the special
session was called.
The insurance law imposes tax of
two per cent on the gross premiums of
the Kansas business of all outside COM
panies. Unless this law is allowed to
lapse or is soon repealed, it will result
almost certainly in driving all the safe
and reputable companies out of the
state, leaving only the wildcat concerns
that make pretty good team with the
populist Legislators. We canrot see
how that would benefit the state.
The railroad bill creates a RAILROAD
court" whose powers as defined in the
bill exceed those now possessed by any
court in the country. The court is
empowered to hear all complain ts, and
disputes between citizens and railroads,
and can not only make any decisions it
sees fit, but can enforce them without
any recourse except to the state
supreme court.
This remarkable railroad court is to
have the power to fix rates for freight
and passenger transportation, to COM
pei railroads to make such changes and
improvements as it deems necessary,
to settle strikes arbitrarily, to regulate
the rate of wages paid by the COM
panies, to order increases in wages or
decrease in hours as it sees fit, and in
general to have absolute control of the
roads within the state in every particu-
lar, even to the appointment of re-
ceivers.
OF course it is hardly likely that this

CEAD MILE
Anniversary of the Patron Saint of
Ireland.

This is the anniversary of the birth
of st. Patrick, the Patron Saint of the
Emerald Isle. Concerning the history
and Life of this much revered man, but
little is known beyond the tradition
handed down from generation TO gener-
alton and outside of the church
history, which is more or less
vague on account of the remoteness of
the time when he lived, there is no
authentic account known. Associated
with his name is the story of his driv-
ing the serpents out of Ireland and the
origin OF the story probably comes from
an account of one of his Staying a mon
ster of ONE kind and on of a
number of miracles which he is said
to have performed about that time.
St. Patrick lived and died at a time
remote in history and his teachings
and acts are kept alive in myths and
fables. He was of Roman descent and
came from a noble family and was talk
en- to Ireland a captive at the age of 16,
where he remained for some years, go
ing to another country and returning
in a few years to carry on his religious

concern, but was employed on salary.

recently gone through the Encampment

'OLD HITCH" DEAD

49,
Chicago, March 16.-Benjamin P.
Hutchinson. the former Board OF
Trade operator and packer, died OF
heart failure at $50 this evening at
the Lakeside Sa%nitarium. Lake Gene
va, Wis. He was 70 years old. The
remains will be brought to Chicago for
interment.
Mr.. Hutchinson's health began to
fail rapidly three years ago, and dur
ing the last Two years he has been at
the sanitarium where he died.
MIR. Hutchinson was at the height of
his fame in 1888, when he ran his corn
err in September wheat. After that be-
gam his decline and the financial end
came in 1891. His last deal was a bad
one, he being on the wrong side of the
market for s 1000, 900. Financially
crushed, he left town and went to New
York city, where he opened a second
hand store. He gave up that and re-
turned to Chicago, where he traded in
a small way when he could get people
interested in his schemes. His career
may be said to have closed with the big
deal of 81.
No one knew how much he was
worth. He would never talk about his
private affairs. The estimates of his
wealth, when at his height, place the
mount anywhere from 80, OO0, 900 to
SIG, 000. 900. A conservative estimate
places his riches in his best days at
81, 900 to $4,000, 900.
