scALEY INQUIRY NEARLY ENDED

Mr.. Rayner's Closing Argument Was
Very Touching.
Washington, Nov. THE climax OF
the Schley court of inquiry came yes
terday, when Mr.. Rayner, the chief
counsel for Admiral Schley, concluded
brilliant argument of over three
hours, with peroration so eloquent
and impassioned that all within the
sound of his voice were profoundly
touched. He pictured the victorious
sailor suffering as few have suffered
for three long years while the fires
Of persecution leaped around him, and
now awaiting the hour of vindication
in the verdict of the court.
"And when it comes" he concluded,
"he can, from the high and exalted
position that he occupies, look down
upon his traducers and maligners, and
with excellent pride exclaim: 4 care
not for the venomous gossip of clubs,
drawing rooms and cliques and the
poisoned shafts of envy and of malice.
l await under the guidance of divine
providence the verdict Of posterity.'
The scene in the court room as he
finished with these words was thrill
ing. AS Mr. Rayner began his eulogy
of Admiral Schley those in the au-
dience, many of whom were ladies,
| leaned forward in their seats. The
spell of his oratory was over them,
and when he described the admiral's
gallant deeds and the long persecution
to which he had been subjected, many
of them broke down and wept. The
members of the court displayed evil
dences of emotion and Admiral Schley
himself was plainly moved. He sar,
leaning back, with his hands behind
his head. His chin twitched, and as
his counsel said he could afford to
await the verdict of posterity, two big
tears rolled down his cheeks. He
moved uneasily to conceal his emo
ton, and under the pretense of adj
justment of his glasses, brushed the
tears aside. For full 80 seconds after
Mr.. Rayner closed there was not
sound. Then the tension broke In
loud burst of applause.
Mr.. Rayner's argument consumed
the whole day of the court except for
half an hour at the opening, which
| Captain Parker, his associate counsel,
occupied in concluding.
Captain Lemly began the closing ar
gument this afternoon, as the court did
not hold session this morning.

REPUBLICANS WIN NEW JERSEY
Murphy Elected Governor BY 1853
Piurality-Result In Atlantic.
Trenton, N. j., Nov. Returns
rom the various counties of the state
give Franklin Murphy. the Republican
candidate for governor. a plurality
of 1880 over James NJ Seymour,
Democrat.
This is more than three times as
much as Voorhees, obtained for gov
ernor three years ago and about one
third the sweeping majority the state
gave the national Republican ticket a
year ago. Every county but four gave
Murphy majorities. Hudson county,
which is generally good for at least
10000 Democratic, failed to reach that
figure by 1900. Camden county,
where Seymour was expected to run
very strong, despite the fact that the
county is Republican, gave Murphy
4,745. McKinley's plurality in the
county was S,S67, and three years ago
Voorhees, carried it by 4,105. Essex,
which was the home county Of both
candidates, and where Seymour was
expected to wipe out Republican
majority and obtain thousand or SO
for himself, gave Murphy 6,773. Es-
sex gave Mckinley 1883 year ago,
and Voorhees, 1857 three years ago.
This victory is made all the more
decisive from the fact that Mr.. Sey-
mour was believed to be the strongest
man the Democrats could nominate.

NATIONISM AND MURDER.

The Nation hysteria in Kansas
reached it's natural elimination
when, as the result of lawless raid
in the interests of a fad, an innocent
woman was shot to death. OF course
the temperance cause will suffer as
result, not only in Kansas bu: al!
over the country. The Nation meth
cd of prohibition propaganda has no
the approval of law abiding people
anywhere. Nationism is mob rule
1t is on par with lynch law. The
raiders assume the functions of the
lawfully constituted authorities.
They arrogate the right to enfo, &c
the law in their own way ard com
NIT murder in the attempt.
1t is time that the law officers o
Kansas awake to the dangers of UNI
restrained Nationism. The anarchy
of prohibition fanatics is as bad
any other kind of anarchy. The law
lessness of the Nationites is infinite
ly worse than the lawlessness of the
jOintists. Both are bad and SHOULD
be vigorously suppressed. Their is
sensible judge in Topeka who has
caused Mrs Nation to be jailed il
default of bond to keep the peace
Kansas needs more like him at this
been INDUCED too much.

THE cITY's GUESTS.

There are gathered within the city
of Kalispell today body of men
and women who are among the state q
most valuable citizens. They are do
ing a work for Montana which bids
fair in time to bring the state into
the front rank in the matter Of horti
culture as it is now in the front
rank in mining and stock growing.
The fame of Montana as fruit grow
ing state is spreading rapidly. East
ern people who have heretofore re
garded Montana as place to make
money, but not to make homes, are
beginning to change their views.
Fifteen years ago apples We're con
sidered a luxury in Montana. There
were only a few venturesome spirits
who at that time had tried fruit
growing in this state. But those few
were the advance guard of the small
army of enthusiastic and successful
horticulturists who are proving
western Montana adapted in mark
ed degree for the culture Of vege
tables, fruits and flowers. There are
men and women attending the con
vention today who, from a small be
ginning, have grown magnificent or
chards. The relation of their eX
perience will be of incalculable ben
eft to the beginners. The whole meet
ing will be a benefit to the city, tt
the county and the state at large
It will give impetus to the pursui
which promises to become the crown
ing glory of Montanas attractions a.
place for homeseekers.
In common with the citizens of Kali
ispell generally, the Bee extends
cordial. welcome to the members o
the State Horticultural society. Ma,
their sojourn in this city be such tina
it will be pleasant to remember
and may their deliberations b.
pleasant and profitable.

THE PROTECTED wNFANTS."

Russia is demonstrating that a pro
tective tariff is a two edged sword
greatly to the dismay of the ''in
fants" which have waxed and grown
fat by the aid of the protective tar
riff system of the republican party
and at the expense of the American
consumers. Recently Secretary Gage
in pursuance of the policy of pro
tecting that puny infant, the suga
trust, levied an extra tariff on Rus
sian sugar, and Russia has retail
ated by placing prohibitive duty OF
American exports to Russia. As
such action on the part of Russi.
hits others of the favored infants
a hard whack, they are bowling Wig
orously. The manufacturers associa
ton, whose members have for year
past been selling their products in
foreign countries for considerably
less than they are able to comman,
in this tariff ridden country, have
lodged an emphatic protest with Sec
rotary Gage. They say that if tn
Russian tariff stands their trade witt
that country will be ruined. Gage
is between the sugar trust and the
manufacturers trust.
1t will be interesting to watch tn
outcome. If the sugar duty stand
the iron and stel manufacturers
Russian trade, amounting to ten mil
lion dollars annually, will be ruined
and if Gage backs down and with
draws the extra sugar duty, the sug
ar trust will find it's power to rob thu
American consumer has been con
siderably curtailed.
Thus are the iniQuities of pre-
tective tariff exemplified. The bene
ficiaries are fighting over the spoil
and it is impossible to satisfy theu
all. And the question arises: if tn
iron manufacturers have a trade @
ten million dollars annually wit
Russia alone, of what earthly use is
protective tariff against foreign mar
nfactures to them unless it enable

CLARK MAKES ANSWER.
Says He Owes Harry Ringwai'
NothinQ,


Some few weeks ago Harry Ring
wald of Great Falls, filed sui
against w A. Clark and Charley
Clark in the district court at Helena
alleging that he had performed Ger
tain services for them for which Il
was to receive $4,000, but that Ii
had only succeeded in getting $25,
on account. The services were not
specifically stated in the complaint
but were understood to have had to
do with the time that Ringwald wen
down to Washington year ago and
swore to certain things before the
committee of investigation in the
United States senate, in the interes
of w. A. Clark. says the Great
Falls Leader. The main thing
to which Harry testified was an al
legged conversation between himself
and Fred Whiteside, during which
the latter opened his bosom and laid
bare the secrets of his life to Harry
Later Harry went down to Washing
ton and told things, and in his com
plant the services that he rendered
for $4,000 worth, were performed
there or thereabouts-and he only
got two hundred and fifty plunks.
Yesterday w, A. and Charlie.
got back at Harry and filed separate
answers to the suit in the Helena
court. They both deny specifically
that Harry ever performed any Ser
vice for them whatever, that the!
ever agreed to pay him the $4,000
or any other sum and lastly, thai
that there is any balance due hin
or that they ever promised to pay
him such balance.
When the suit was filed by Ring

of letters, kilograms and thing.

trial and it was limited that the sui
might be settled out of court, bu

AN INSURANCE COMMISSIONER.
Will be For the Benefit of the insur-
ers and Insured.

~ " suC DCuCuL W lHC tuouI'
ers and Insured.
Chairman T. M. Swindelhurst of the
house committee on insurance, will
introduce during the week a bill Gre.
ating the office of insurance commits
sloner, says the Helena Herald
The bill will provide for the appoint
ment of such an official by the gov
ernor at salary of $4,000 year.
Under the present law, insurance
companies are under the supervis-
ion OF the state auditors department
and are merely required to file an an
nual statement, and pa- taxes and
fees based on the returns made in
their annual statements.
Ten years ago the fees and take
amounted to less than $4,000 and
during the last fiscal year the state
added to it's strong box nearly
100000 from this source. The in
surance committee has been con
sidering the matter for some time
and it believes the insurance bust
ness has become large enough to hav
a separate department of it's own.
The bill was drawn several weeks
ago.
The argument that has been USE
in favor of the creation of the offic
of insurance commissioner is that
nearly every other state in the unicl
has one. But that reason is only
tributary to the principal argument.
During the past few years the coun
try has been flooded with wildcat in
surance companies, and the only
thing that has protected the state
has been the fact that the high Ii
censes and fees required of compaa
les doing business in the state has
made this a 'prohibitive' state, ant
many undesirable concerns have
been kept out However, the pub
lie is said to have no protection
from the companies that come into
the state for few months, write "a
much life insurance as possible, an,
get out without qualifying under tn
laws of Montana.
The contention is made that the
appointment of an insurance COM
missioner will protect the insurer ant
the insured, and make fraud practi
cally impossible, During the year,
in the state Of Minnesota, SO wild-ca
concerns were closed out by the in
surance commissioner. The only
property they possessed was
small amount OF Office furniture am
few chattels that, contrary to law
they accepted in payment of premi
ums. The bill is framed similar to
existing laws in other states. |
gives the commissioner authority to
look into the affairs of companies
doing business in this state who's
principal office is in another state
in fact, gives that official full powe
to revoke the license of any com
pany or agent. 1t also specifies the
time for making annual reports, and
| fixes schedule of fees and licenca
be collected from both fire and life
insurance companies.
