FIELD.

New York Times: There is a field
for women in the insurance business"
says the woman who is a general agent
in a big insurance mpa land When
they get well started in it it proves very
profitable. There are a good many ups
and downs in it, as in any other kind of
business. | have not been so long in it
but What have a feeling of timidity at
first when | am going to talk Insurance
to any one, but ] have always been most
courteously treated.
- have always insured men so far. T
have made some attempt to do business
With women, but without much success.
Women are afraid of Insurance.. They
have the feeling about it that many
people have about making their wills
that it is ominous-and they will not in
sure themselves or have their husbands
insure If they can help it. Many men are
insured without letting their wives know
anything about it.
1.-THE pleasantest way to do business is
to send out notices and call upon the
people who respond. and then you find
an open field for your work. 1t is harder
to make calls upon absolute strangers.
but that has to be done. A WOnan going
into the business usually begins with her
friends, and through them she will very
likely get a good deal of business when
it is known What she is doing. The bust
ness is perfectly legitimate. l believe in
insurance thoroughly, and insurance
people SlOulu De always aS We'll received
as other business people.
The only trouble with it is that it is
so easy to become an agent that many
people have taken up the work who are
too lazy to do anything but bore people,
and they get the business into bad re-
pute. There are some men who are too
lazy to do anything by which they can
support themselves. At the same time
they like to earn a little money some
times, and they become agents for insur-
ance companies. they are not willing
to work hard enough to support them
selves then, but now and again when
they awe good luck they will get some
one to insure, and in the meantime they
have made themselves such a nuisance
to business people hat energetic. hard
working people who go to work properly
have a hard time of it.
THE work is profitable when you do
we'll and have worked up a clientele, but
there are many disappointments. For
instance, l had Il man who was to be in
sured the other day for a large mount,
and l would have made a couple of hun
dred dollars, but, though he passed the
examination well, his family records
not take him.. That is a disappointment
when you have done the work, think
you see the results, and then lose it all.
I hannened to see the name of an old
friend of my family in the directory the
other day, and went to call upon him.
I had not seen him for a long time, but
I told him what I was doing, and he was
thinking of increasing his insurance, and

APOPULIS7/CM MOVEMENT.

In establishing a party newspaper in
to take advantage of the local situation
in politics in that city. An election will
be held in January to determine whether
Helena shall or shall not own it's own
water works. 1t appears that regular
monthly elections are held in that city
for. this the one in December
defeating the proposition to vote a tax
of 81, 200. 600 by a majority of only Az
votes. If the January election also re-
suits in another defeat for municipal
ownership, the populist administration
of that city will doubtless renew its
efforts to carry the measure in the Feb
ruary election.
While the proposition submitted to the
voters does not in fact cover the real
derstood to be merely a scheme to rob
the taxpayers through a Water-pump-
ing enterprise that has for years figured
for an opportunity to exploit itself at
/ TIE eA lellSe III Tie people lis SuCceSS al
the polls woul be heralded as the
triumph Of the principle of municipal
ownership, and be looked upon by the
populists as the entering wedge in this
! state for one of their fundamental doc
trines. Hence, the starting of a news
paper at this time to help the proposition
along.
Enthusiasm for the triumph of a popu-
listic idea in the government of the
capital city of this state, has apparently
led the members of that political organ
take place when the true motive behind
the pending proposition is uncovered,
and it is discovered that the plea for
municipal ownership was merely a cloak
under which a costly speculative design
was hidden. There is much of merit i'm
the principle of municipal ownership
but after the experiences which Helena
will undergo. if that plan is allowed to
furnish a vehicle for designing men to
work their hoid-up schemes upon the
people, the principle will never again be
eXemplilied in this state.
The initial attempt to induce the people
to accept municipal ownership should
be free from any faint of speculation OF
fraud. Otherwise, the populists will de-
feat the very object they have in view
in the dissemination of such ideas in
local government.

ALLEN APPOINTED.

Ex-senator Allen has been appointed
United States senator from Nebraska to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the death
of Hayward. +
before his death, and the work Of Great
ing a senator, started by the legislature,
had not been completed, his death left
the same senatorial vacancy that ex-
listed prior to his election by the legisla-
ture-and not a new one.
Hayward was not a senator when he
died, because he had not taken the oath
of office, and there is a technical ques-
ton as to the right of Governor Poynter
to name his successor.
Suppose Senator Clark had been deniet
the right to AXE the oath of office, and
was subsequently denied h; ~seat-would
Governor smith have had the right to
name his successor, or would it have been
held that the Mantle vacancy had never
, been filled and that it was necessary for
the legislature in extraordinary session
to elect a senator to succeed Mr.. Mantle? ?
Has Governor Poynter the right to
name a successor to a man who was not
a senator in fact.
Was it not his duty to relegate that
right to the legislature in extraordinary
session?

MI. Or worm IN.

Despite the bloodthirsty threats of the
Goebel men, Mr.. Taylor was yesterday
sworn in as governor of Kentucky.
Every possible effort was made by the
democratic candidate and his friends to
thwart the Will of the majority and force
the defeated man into the g~ubernatorial
chair. The schemes escorted to will live
in the history of that state as monu-
and disappointed faction of the demo-
cratic party. Violence Was freely threat
ened, and doubtless would lave been re-
sorted to had there been any assurance
wark of right and justice the republicans
stood firm. and when bulldozing and
blufling proved Ineffective the Goebel
cowards guailed and faltered and skunk
way.
The country is to be congratulated on
the peaceful outcome of a contest that
promised bloodshed and anarchy. From
the first it Was known that the republic
can CaldldatP was elected by q large
| plurality. Then ollowed all sorts of
technical efforts to throw out the bal
lots in the republican s~trongholds. In
the meantime, dire threats gave a lurid
coloring to the political atmosphere in
hat state. Happily, the affair has ended
in the triumph of the right, and the
man who was duly elected chief execu-
tive of kentucky will exercise the off
cial functions that properly belong to
him.
TIL seating of Taylor will prove dis
~couraging to political thugs and bull
dozers everywhere, and should teach
those democrats who attain political sue
cess by such methods, or by the illegal
use of money. or by the coercion of en-
ployes, that an aVenging Nemesis awaits
them. The masses Of the democratic
party. as in all other parties, are honest
men, who c~onscientiousiy seek the best
interests of the country, even though ii
may be from a mistaken standpoint.
They will not long tolerate the arbitrary
rule of self-opinionated bosses, or look
with Indifference upon the efforts of de-
signing men to prostitute the functions

bolt the silver republican convention and
if possible break up the meeting. A hall
had been hired and paid for by the Ana
conda wing of the democracy to accom-
modate the Hartman exodus from the sill
Yer republican party. Like Micawber,
Hartman waited for something to turn
up that would give him an excuse to
bring his d~isreputable programme into
play. Instead of finding an excuse. how
ever, he was unanimously nominated
for congress. and with his future plans
OF treachery to the party maturing in
his brain he accepted the proffered honor
with thanks.
The boiling programme contemplated
the delivery of the bulk of the silver re-
publican party into the ranks of the
democracy. as a reward for which Hart
man was to be nominated for congress
by the democrats. From the temper
of the convention, Hartman knew that
We're he to bolt that body he could carry
WIN Iiil lllto the dclllDtl dCy no QeltSdle
except Colonel Chisholm. who plays the
part of Friday to his Cruso whenever oc-
casion requires. Such a demonstration
of personal weakness among silver re-
publicans would not have strengthened
his plea for democratic recognition, and.
therefore,. like the shipwrecked sailor
who was thrown hpt wapp tho devil a nd tho
deep sea. he had to leave his future in the
hands of providence and the Anaconda
Standard.
The story of his subsequent conduct
accepted. his herculean efforts to destroy
the silver republican Organization
through action in the courts. and his at
tempt to deliver its membership boots
and breaches into the democratic amp,
do not require repetition in this on
n~ection. Let it be understood hat it
was not the trend of the silver re-
publican organization that led Mr.. Hart
man 'to turn his back upon the organi-
zation," but it was his own trend to-
ward the hypnotic department of the
Anaconda democracy, With it's brilliant
ly colored stock of political hop dreams
constantly on hand. Referring to the
criticism of Mr.. Hartman's conduct, the
Standard adds:
1t is not pretended that he is a traitor
to the silver cause" but merely to the
"silver republican party
This is a misstatement of the situation
which the Inter Mountain will not permit
to go unchallenged The silver repub-
lican party was organized for the sole
and only purpose of aiding the silver
cause. When Mr.. Hartman became an
instrument in the lands of democrats
who had avovedly repudiated the CO.
operative policy of 1896, and thereby
sounded the death knell of the free COIN
is concerned. he likewise became a traitor
to the movement which honored him with
other concerns of life, actions speal
louder than words. It is conceded tina
SO far as profession is concerned, Mr.
Hartman is still a silver man: but, lik,
the Standard. his professions are sue
cessfully cappered By his acts.
