ENGLAND AND PROTECTION.

There are indications that protection
sentiment is growing in England. The
strong competition which Great Britain
| meets in the worlds markets from
countries with protective tariffs Is said
to be undermining the free trade senti-
| ment in that country and it Is not inn
probable, says a London correspondent
that the question of free trade and pro-
lection will enter largely into the next
parliamentary elections. 1t is noted
that the vote in the House of Commons
in favor of the countervailing duties i'm
posed in India against sugar upon
which an export bounty has been paid
an American policy observed in the
Dingley law-was something of reve-
lation to the Golden club. That Or
ganization had been denouncing the ac-
ton of the India government in impos-
ing countervailing duties as direct
violation of free trade principles and
to have that action sustained by large
majority in the Commons was rather
startling to the Cobdenites. They could
hardly have received Il more distinct
reputation.
In the debate on this question there
was indicated a remarkable amount of
sentiment favorable to the protection
policy. Mr.. Chamberlain. secretary of
state for the colonies. in defending the
action of the so-called India govern
ment said things that might have been
| uttered by the most pronounced protec-
ZIONIST AS a matter of fact the legisla-
ton, admittedly modelled on the Ameri-
can law, was legislation of the imperial
government-that is, the British min
istry Is responsible for it. That 1t is
protection pure and simple will not be
questioned, but it does not necessarily
follow that England is going to abandon
free trade. 1t is desired to foster and
develop the India sugar industry and
countervailng duties on bounty paid
sugar will contribute to this. The Brit
ish government has seen how such du.
ties operate here and has followed our
example, 1t is possible that in time
she will do this as to some other inter
ests, but it is not likely that England
will ever wholly abandon free trade.

HERO IN CIVIL LIFE.
Courage to DO or Die Not Connned 10
the Battlefield.

Chicago Post.
John Kostowsky Is a common laborer. but
he is also a hero--as much of hero as anJ
man who ever was praised for a valiant act
in time OF war. when the incentive to hero.
ism Is greatest.
Kostowsky went to almost certain death
to save the life OF young woman. lie did
1t unhesitatingly, without q thought OF fans
or hope OF reward, and he now lies at the
county hospital with a fractured skull and
other injuries that will probably prove fatal.
while the young woman is suffering from
nothing more serious than a broken ankle.
The deed that saved her was one OF eXtraor-
binary daring and complete self-sacrihcs.
She was caught on railroad trestle with q
moving engine too close TO her to be
stopped and when she discovered her plight
the horror OF the situation overcame her 80
that she found II impossible to move. Then
It was that Kostowsky rushed onto the
trestle in the face of the advancing engine.
and needless OF his own danger, tried 10
carry her to place of safety. Finding he
could not do that he endeavored to swing
himself out on one OF the iron braces, still
holding the girl, but he was unable to clear
the engine and both he and his burden were
thrown 10 the ravine below. His body
broke the force OF her fall and thus q second
time within the space OF a few minutes her
life was saved by him.
All honor to Kostowsky, laborer! But 4
youth in years yet man in Judgment and
action, who needed only the opportunity TO
prove his self-sacrifcing courage! How
ever humble his walk in life. he Is q credit
to his race and his country!

ENLISTMENT or voLrNrrERs.


President Mckinley has decided 10 in.
crease the army in the Philippines to
10000 by the close Of the rainy season,
so that when that time arrives General
Otis will have an effective force which
1t is thought Will be sufficient TO deal
decisive blow to the insurrection. In
order to do this 1t is necessary TO en-
list volunteers, perhaps to the number
OF 10000, and their enlistment will be
begun at once. The law permits the
president to call for a provisional force
OF $4,000. but 1t appears TO have been
concluded that there Is no immediate
necessity for enlisting such force and
perhaps this view is correct, The regu.
lar army has been recruited TO the maxi
mum and as there is no demand for nd.
ditional soldiers except in the Philip
pines and not likely to be- probably the
enlistment of 10000 volunteers for
Philippine service will be ample.
At all events those who think that the
campaign in Luzon, when resumed,
should be pushed with all possible en-
ergy, will approve the decision of the
Washington authorities TO materially in
crease the American forces in that
island The war thus far has been un-
satisfactory in respect to results.
There has been far less accomplished
than was expected and our people are
growing impatient 1t being the set
tied policy of the administration to con
Time hostilitips the ppOplc want leci-
sive results and not conflict carried Oh
in way that promises to prolong 1t in
definitely. 1t is not apprehended that
there will be any delay in securing
whatever number of volunteers shall
be called for. Recruiting for the regular
army has been at the rate of about
1000 week, but 1t Is to be expected
that It will be more rapid for volun-
teer force. Undoubtedly the number
which it is proposed to call for can be
enlisted within thirty days.

INDUSTRIAL RELIEF FOR CUBA.

The desolation wrought in Cuba by
years of warfare is undoubtedly much
greater than commonly supposed An
American now in the island in connec-
ton with n movement for industrial
relief writes that people who talk
wisely about the reconstruction of Cuba
surely contine their observations to
car window. He has himself journeyed
over large area on foot, in order TO
thoroughly investigate the conditions,
and he says that away from the rail
roads Cuba is one great stretch of desc
lation, amidst which the only houses
are the nests of the birds in the ruins
of former homes of peace and pros
perity. Back from the railroad moth
ing has been done toward the recon-
struction of Cuba. One may walk for
days and see only ruins of sugar mills,
the crumbling walls of plantation
houses, the idle fields overrun with rank
weeds and worthless grasses and roads
long ago given over 10 deer and other
wild animals" The writer states that
the Cubans are most willing TO work,
Dul tudt thcs Suh hcNti iVeohS'iu wv tiit
island unless they have help of the
right sort and il they do not get that
help they will become extinct as a race.
He declares that unless the American
people do something for the Cubans
those people will inevitably go to the
wall.
Not much has as yet been accom-
plished by the movement looking TO in
dustrial relief, but good results are eX-
pected in time. The movement has not
met with the support and encourage
ment which its promoters hoped for,
perhaps largely for the reason that the
Cubans have not pursued a course to
win confidence. The opposition mani
tested by class of politicians to Amer
lean authority and the obstructive con-
duet of many of the officers of the
Cuban army, with more or less support
from the people, have conduced TO the
belief that the Cubans were not anx-
ious TO secure peace and order and
could not be depended upon TO maintain
such condition when established. Such
feeling would operate against relief

IL different spirit had been shown by
the Cubans, IL there had been none OF

acquiescence I'm American policy. tho in
dustrial conditions in Cuba would bc
much better than they are and would
be steadily improving. II the people as
n whole had shown the earnest desire
for peace and industrial restoration that
has been manifested by the Cubans III
the province of Santiago there can be
no doubt that capital would have gone
into the island and that most of the
people would now be at work.
1t Is undoubtedly true that the Cubans
must be helped TO reconstruct the island
and they will require n great deal of
help. They are not very practical
people. Their business experience has
been very limited. They need not only
material assistance, but also to he
taught practical affairs aud correct bust
ness methods. But in order to obtain
this help they must give satisfactory
assurance of their purpose to deal justly
toward those who help them. Capital
must be assured OF protection in the
island and all interests be given a guar
anty of fair treatment. This is en-
tirely in the hands of the Cubans them
selves and they can have industrial re
lief and enter upon the work of recon
struction whenever they are prepared
to honestly accept pacifcation and give
unquestioning adhesion TO American
policy in respect to their future govern
ment. Until they do this they cannot
reasonably expect the relief they so
much need. There are indications that
they are coming to understand this.

LOSSES IN SLEEPING CARS.
Limited Liability OF the Companies
Established by the Courts.

CnlCdBO CnrOnlCle.
Later decisions have cleared UP some OF
the unsettled questions and the limited
liability of sleeping cars is established. A
recent case brought out very enlightened
Interpretation OF the law. Richard w.
Bates took a sleeping car at Chicago,
bound for Fall River. He had the sum OF
$3.50 pinned in the fob pocket OF his
trousers, and on going to bed he took off
the garment placing 1t between the mat
tress and the wall OF the car. He left his
berth but once on his passage The only
persons he saw at the time were the two
colored porters one at each end OF the car.
When he arrived at his destination he found
a wad Of paper pinned In the pocket that
had contained his money.
Bates sued the sleeping car company for
the amount OF his loss. There was no doubt
about the facts. The only question was one
OF law; was the car company liable? The
case was tried in New York City and Bates
obtained judgment in the lower court for
the full amount OF his loss. There was an
appeal and the higher court affirmed the
judgment though not for the full amount.
The opinion. no doubt, embodies the law as
1t will finally be determined. It is long
but its vital parts are contained in few
sentences
Sleeping car companies are not insurers
OF the baggage, money and other property
which a passenger takes on board. They
have not the liabilities OF both common car
riers and innkeepers. The accommodations
furnished passenger are unlike those OF an
inn. He cannot be placed in room under
lock and key and guarded from all loss
But the company can exclude from the car
all except passengers and persons in its en-
ploy, or the train attaches collecting fares
mn naOin ha tFai
fore, the company can in part, but not
wholly, protect the passenger 1t must be
held to partial liability. The powerlees-
ness OF the passenger to safeguard his be-
longings while asleep imposes a duty OF
extra vatchfulness on the company to sec
that his apparel money and property are
secure For the violation or neglect OF
this duty through its employees the COM
pany may be held liable in damages The
court said
THE contract for the sale OF berth in

TIE NEW INSURANCE LAW

The law enacted at the last session of
the legislature providing for the SUPER
vision and regulation of insurance COM
panies doing business in Nebraska will
go into effect July 1. The most radical
change made by this act is the separa-
ton of the insurance department from
the auditors Office by the creation of an
insurance bureau with commissioner
at its head clothed with ample power
to supervise the business of the insur-
ance companies. Unlike the present in
surance deputy, the new commissioner
will not be subordinate to the auditor
or subject to his direction, but Is to be
responsible to the governor only.
In its relation to the insurance com,
panies the new bureau will be modelled
upon plans prevailing in most of the
older states that have Independent in
surance departments. While the pow
ers vested in the insurance commits.
sioner will be more extensive than they
have been in his predecessor checks and
balances provided by the law are cal
culated to protect insurance companies
against repetition of hold-up practices
that have scandalized the auditors Office
for many years.
On the other hand the new law i'm
poses tax upon the companies more
commensurate with the income they de-
rive from Nebraska policy holders.
While insurance representatives before
the legislature insisted that this tax
was excessive and unwarranted, the
fact remains that it is no higher than
that in number of other states and
there is no likelihood that they will
withdraw from Nebraska to avoid pay
ing the insurance tax. Predictions as
to the amount of revenue the state will
derive from this source are premature,
but it is safe to assume that it will give
a material increase of income to the
state. 2.
The measure of success of the new in
surance law will depend largely upon
the manner in which the affairs of the
bureau are administered by the COM
missioner and his assistants. If the ex-
perience of other states similarly stu.
ated is worth anything, the new de-
parture should prove to be step in
the right direction, not only for the tax
payers, but also for the insurance COM
panies and their policy holders.
