The Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany's Business III 1900.

The Annual Reports of The Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company of
New York are successive records
of great achievements. Year after
year rapid growth is indicated;
year after year its beneficial pro-
gress is made manifest establishing
this institution as being not only
the largest but the most progressive
life insurance company in the
world.
The report for 1899 shows that
during the year the assets were in
creased $2l,327,212, and the total
sum now held by this institution

ers is S3O1 ,S44, 537 80.

from the death of policy holders

dividends, etc. The general bust
ness of The Mutual Life in 1899,
when compared with the results
during the previous year, is highly
satisfactory. The insurance in

to 1911 III, 997 On December 81,
1899, the business in force agGre-

mckinley and tho Idaho Miners.


OF all the outrages ever perpe-
trated upon labor in this country,
and labor has frequently been the
victim of outrage, Gen. Merriam's
course toward the Occur d. Alone
miners of Idaho stands out preem-
inent.
Under martial law Merriam
forced every miner to sign the fol-
lowing statement before he was
permitted to earn living for him
self and family:
Heretofore l have been men,
Der of the Miners Union. 1 did
not participate actively or other
wise in the riot which took place
at Wardner in 1899. y L
hereby renounoe and forever abb
lure all allegiance to miners un-
ions.
No wonder trades organization
from one end of the country to the
other have denounced the high
handed work of the military despot
whose brain conceived and whose
brutality carried out the foregoing.
But, without excusing Merriam,
it should be borne in mind that he
is not the head of the army. VIM.
Mckinley is commandments
of that organization, and therefore
it is not surprising that RESPONSE
bility for the Idaho infamy has
been traced to him. He should
be held accountability. Y. News.
The Chillicothe (Mo street car
drivers are very accommodating.
When housewife along the line
wants some groceries she halls a
car, gives her order to the driver,
and on his return he delivers the
goods. One rainy night recently
driver had a call to take a woman
to the the6ter. She lived three
blocks from the line. The gallant
fellow got an umbrella, walked to
the woman's house, escorted her to
the car and then started downtown.
1t makes little difference what
anyone may wish; Porto Rico, hav-
ing been annexed on any terms, is
community worthy of treatment
equally Liberal to that accorded
other territories in the past. 1t is
a civilized and organized commu-
nifty, long accustomed to represen-
tation in the counsels of Spain and
to some local self-government.
Whether We wanted it to acquire
Statehood or not, whether it's peo-
pla were capable or fit for assimi-
lation with us, were questions to
settle before annexation. After
that, there is but one kind of terri
tory known to our institutions and
but one purpose of any territory,
and that is to fit it at some time for
Statehood. There is but one kind
of liberty in this great country and
no room for vassalage under our
flag. Who shall be accorded citi-
zenship and who the suffrage, is
unimportant and discretionary; but
equal liberty and rights under the
Constitution belong to all under
our Observation-Disclosures Jour
nal.

The Philadelphia "Press" OBJ,
serves that Campaign issues are
piling upon the Democracy thick
and fast" This is true, and Pres
ident McKinley's home admins
tration and his conduct of foreign
affairs are furnishing most of them.
These new issues promise to unite
the Democratic party as it has not
been welded together since 1892
That they have divided the Repub-
lioan party the news of the day
bears ample witness. Not one OF
these issues now conceded to be OF
such Importance was before the
people in 1896. They will be voted
on next fall as paramount questions
of the day. No one pretends these
new issues have not strengthened
the Democracy and corresponding
ly weakened the Republicans
The only question is will they
prove potential in driving McKin-
leyism out of the Government?
They. cannot be foretold until Ger
tain November day rolls around.
President Mckinley is not SO
bad a man, and surrounded by
strong mon as assistants and adj
yisers he would be competent for
the great position he holds. 1t is
the knowledge that his reelection
would be a mere perpetuation of
Hannaism and Coxism that stag
gers the moral sense of the people.

INTERIOR OF UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER.

Our nation is passing through great
political crisis. Whether our national
policy is to be one of territorial expan-
sion, or whether we are to remain aloof
from international complications, is the
supreme question confronting our Con-
gress. The attention of the world is di-
rected toward US. The deliberations of
eur Congress have come to be Of inter-
national Importance.
But this consideration affects only,
sur external welfare. Our domestic
problems are not one bit less import
ant. We have serious questions before
Us that relate only to home interests.
Chief among them is the health of our
people. Catarrh has already become a
national curse. Its ravages extend from
ocean to ocean. More than one-half of
the people are affected by it. 1t has be-
come such serious matter that it has
passed the boundaries of the medical
profession and become national ques-
ton. Senators are talking about it;
Congressman are discussing it. They
are not only considering the extent and
chronic nature of the disease, but the
possibility OF finding national remedy
to meet this national calamity.
