from staff corresp ondent at Cincin.
raj in which the editorial charges
made by the Times.Herald are more
fully exploited. Foraker ia asked
Where be got it," referring to the
Senator's wealth, and he is then inform
ed that for at least decade. in lobby
ing or political throat cutting, he has
been Ohio's star performer, and
az inspiration to minor actors. The
writer says the fact that Foraker's
wealth was acquired by lobbying, is
public property in Cincinnati. Fora
ksr's hand has been in every job, and
when he could not find job he made
one. Whenever franchise grsbbers and
schemers have sought to Cypress or to
milk the people of bis own State and
city, Senator Foraker and his
political influence have been ar
rayed against the public inter.
eat for the usual attorneys fees.
Further on the writer says Senator
Foraker was deliberate party to the
attempt of McKisson and Kurlz to de-
feat the will Of the republican voters of
Ohio. He is known throughout the
State as the States devil6sh and man
of ali work. This was the reason he
was ousted from the Craftsmanship of
the republican State convention in
June. 1896. He has been plotting re.
Venge ever since.

KNIGHTS OF HONOR.


The Supreme Lodge, Knights o.
Honor, at Detroit, yesterday disposed
of the most important question before
the body during its annual session, viz:
the fixing OF a new table of assessment
rates. The com mittee of fifteen sub.
United q report On the subject, which
was discussed Monday and yesterday
10 committee of the whole; and after
being amended at the committees re-.
quest, was adopted by 81 yeas, one
member voting blank and two being
absent on leave. The yearly step-rate
plan of the order WAS not changed, but
the figures of the present tale, which
range from a monthly assessment Of
ninery-eight cents at ages IS to 81, to
Sc for ages 81 and over for insurance Of
80 600, we're increased to Sl.20 at the
youngest ages, and IS at 60 years aud
over. The annual increase of the
monthly assessment is FIVE cents from
ages 81 to 90; ten cents from ages
90 to 46; Is cents from 46 to As and
so on until the maximum monthly
rate { IS is reached at age co. By the
adoption of this new table the order
avoids the necessity of levyiDg extra
assessments ss was done in two in
stances last year, and also provides for
the accumulation OF surplus for fu-
ture contingencies. The new rates are
10 90 into effect on the August assess
ment.
The expense assessment was fixed at
forty cents per quarter, an increase
from 25 cents, with proviso that not
less than one.third of the amount con-
tributed by the grand jurisdictions
where active work is being done for the
propagation of the order shall be re
turned 10 and used in those jurisdic
tons under the supervision of the su-
preme officers.
Reports from the committees on
laws, appeals and grievances, press and
good of the order were adopted, and
an amendment of the laws passed max
ing the sitting past dictator member
of the advisory board. Hereafter there
will be but one meeting of the advisory
board between the annual meetings of
the supreme lodge, instead of two, as
formerly.
The session will close today with
the installation of officers and appoint
ment of standing committees.
