as the apologist of anarchy and as
sassination.
while the nation was plunged in
to grief and deep apprehension over
the attempt to slay the president
over an assault upon our system OF
government itself. this senator of the
United States had the hardlhood to
proclaim: I am Indifferent to the
whole matter, because Mckinley and
are enemies
1T is hard to comprehend how one
who has Wellington's opportunities
and advantages could still possess n
soul so small and cherish spite so
unspeakably contemplate that his
views on the attempted assassination
of president and all that 1t signiiied
could be controlled by personal en-
nifty against the man who had been
struck down. A private citizen who
would speak in such a way of another
private citizen VINO had been danger
ously and probably fatally wounded
by and unprovoked assailant would
merit and receive the condemnation
of all who heard his cruel remarks.
How, then. can we characterize such
conduct on the part of United States
senator toward the president of the
United States, who Is so beloved for
his nobility of nature and warrants
the purity of life?
is the man who could utter that
which Wellington does not deny fit
person to sit in the highest council of
the nation? Is he worthy to be en-
trusted with the affairs that involve
the honor and welfare of the country :?
We think not What does the Unit
ed States senate think about It?
"The senate is sole judge of the
qualifications of it's members. Nor
al disqualifications should be as IA
tai as statutory provisions to a claim
or title to a seat in the senate
No gentleman in the senate can now
respect Wellington; no patriot there
or elsewhere can trust him; no man
with right mind and an honest heart
can fail to reprobate his meanness.
The senate should purge itself of
Wellington. We hope to see rea-
son for his EXPULSION offered on the

or extraordinary. and We trust that it
will receive the vote of every senator
who is qualified to pass upon it.
George l.. Wellington is reproach
to the state of Maryland and a dis
grace to the United States senate.
Put him OUT"
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-lt would
not be surprising to Democrats as
well as Republicans should a motion
be made when the senate meets in
December for the impeachment of
Senator Wellington of Maryland.
There is a unanimous feeling of
disgust over the remarks he is re-
ported to have made when informed
that an attempt had been made to
assassinate the president. and the
newspapers of the east, and especially
hose of the south, are advocating that
he brought for trial before the SEN

TOTAL OF PREMIUMS.
Business of Local Fire Insurance Com
panies Past Ten Years.

According to compilation made by the
Financial Review, the total local premiums
of the Washington fire insurance compa-
MES for the ten years ending December 81,
1900, were about S2,6Oo,0OO The total re-
ceipts for the five years ending In 1880
were 81. 80 900. while the total receipts for
the five-year period ending in 1900 were
about 81 $40, 600 The second period, COM
pared with the first, shows a gain in pre-
miums of $4,000. The most prosperous
year was 1897, when the premium receipts
amounted to 1919, 900.
Interest and other cash receipts have In
creased from $144 500 in 1891 to over $l6l,-
100 In 1900. The annual average receipts
for ten years were $4,000 The total re-
ceipts for the first five-year period were
500 greater than the second hVe-year
period ending December 81, 1900.
The total local fire losses incurred by the
home companies for the decennial period
ending December 81, 1900. were $S41 Goo
The annual average fire loss was $s4 600.
The losses during 1900 were the smallest In
ten years. The largest losses occurred IN
1894, and amounted to over 1857 600 The
losses aggregating 1923, 500. A large part of
the losses in "a was due to the destruction
Of the warehouses Of the Knox Express
Company while the heavy losses In 81 are
chargeable to the destruction OF the Cap
itai Traction power house
The surplus of the locals has increased
s319, 600 since 1891 The increase of $135 600
from 81 to '93 was due in large measure
to the rapid growth Of the Lincoln and
Commercial fire insurance companies In
1894 we find that owing TO many disastrous
Ares, both local and foreign. the total sur
plus of the locals was decreased $40, 6Oo
The following year was a very prontanie
one the companies having added over 500,
600 to surplus. Since 1895 this account has
increased over $2OO,O0O Only one COM
pany reports less surplus in 1900 than ten
years ago. One company had its surplus
wiped out entirely In 1894. by reason of q
series of disastrous fires in other localities
where the company had been doing bust

Yale college, an object of so much
 Juet pride to the public spirited citizens
 of New Haven, had ever been a special
 object of interest to MT. Townsend.
 This interest seemed to have been in
 herlted as MT. Townsend's father, uncle
 and grandfather were deeply concerned
 Tor the welfare of the institution, often giving substantial aid. His uncle, Pro- lessor Isaac H. Townsend, founded the
 ToWnaend prize in the academical de- partment and Mr Townsend estab- lished the Townsend fund.- with an an- nual income of one hundred dollars to
 De given to that student of the Yale Law school, who should, on graduation deliver in the best manner the best written English oration.
 Thoroughly conversant with all those practical topics which interest those who keep in the van of the worlds progress, MT. Townsend was always possessed with an intimate knowledge of those finer and more purely artistic subjects, familiarity which distin- guished the man of liberal thought from the ordinary man of affairs. To eXten- sive reading he had added long and careful observation aided by no small amount of travel. All important parts of our own country were familiar to him, and in 1844, when he was quite a young man, trip to Spain, Gibraltar and up the Mediterranean furnished him material for series of letters pub lished at that time under nom de plume in the New Haven Journal and Courier, which attracted much atten- ticn, and were extensively copied by other newspapers.
 MT. Townsend was married Septem- Der 1, 1S47, to Maria Theresa, daughter of Epaphras and Sarah QHalD Clark of Conn.,, where she was born October l. 1928, and died at her home on Townsend avenue April 13, 1884. They had two sons, William Kneeland of this city, judge of the United States circuit court, and James Mulford Town send, Jr., prominent New York coun- selor at law and who at one time was a speaker in the Yale Law school.

fess we seek the friendship of all the powers; we want to trade with all peo- ples; we are conscious of resources that will make our commerce source of advantage to them and of profit to ourselves. But no wantonness of strength will ever induce us to drive a hard bargain with another nation be- cause it is weak nor will any fear of ignoble criticism tempt us to insult or defy great power because it is strong, or ever because it is friendly.
 'The attitude of our diplomacy may be indicated in 8 text of Scripture which Franklin-the first and greatest of our diplomats-tells us passed through his mind when he was pre- sented at the court of Versailles. It was text his father used to quote to him in the old candle shop in Boston, when he was boy:
 Seest thou man diligent in his business, he shall stand before kings Let us be diligent ip our business and we shall stand-stand, you see, not crawl, nor Wagger-stand, as a friend and equal asking nothing, putting up with nothing but what is right and just, among our peers, in the great de- mocracy Of nations"
