rs TETS NcLAURIN,s PLANs

Is il the plan OF Senator McLaurin OF
South Carolina to resign just before the
meeting Of Congress with the expectation
that Cow insolvency will appoint as his
successor a senator in harmony with the
political views of Senator Tillman, and
then to make a fight for the senatorship
against this new appointee? That is the
plan outlined in dispatch from Benefits
vile, Senator McLaurin's home.
Assuming that the dispatch contains
correct information IL would seem that
Senator McLaurin doubts his ability to
beat Senator Tillman in a square fight.
He thinks doubtless he would stand
better chance OF carrying the state in n
contest with man appointed senator by
the Governor. or course he would have
to fight Senator Tillman, even IL the lat
ter were not a candidate. Senator Till
man intends TO exert himself to the ut
most to eliminate Senator McLsurin from
South Carolina politics.
There is no doubt that Senator McLau-
rim would come much nearer being
elected If he ran against a new man. be-
cause there are thousands Of voters who
might not take the trouble to vote at all
If Senator Tillman were not a candidate,
but at this time there are no signs to
justify the opinion that he can be elect
ed whether he runs against Senator Till
man or a new man. OF course there is
ample time for great change in public
sentiment in South Carolina before the
time for choosing a senator arrives, but
it will take a great amount of political
work to bring about even a perceptible
change.
Senator McLaurin is reported as saying
that he has as much right to define DEM
ocratic principles as have Mr.. Bryan and
Senator TiHman. There is no doubt
he has, but he has to take the chances
of getting outside what Democrats con-
slider the breastworks of the Democratic
party If Mr.. Bryan or Senator Tillman
ever got outside of the breastworks when
reaching out for the good will of the
Farmers Alliance or the Populists they
were careful to get back before charges
were made against them that they had
gone over to the enemy. Now they are
standing squarely on the Democratic ma
tionsl Platform. They do not need to
interpret Democratic doctrines. They
have only to point to the declarations of
the last Democratic national convention.
Senator McLaurin has the misfortune
not only to repudiste certain Democratic
declarations as genuine Democratic doc
trine, but to actively support certain Re-
publican policies. Under the circum-
stances he will have an uphill fight, in
whatever shape the battle may present
itself.

There is an amusing English definition
of gentleman" says the Youth S Compau-
ion. 1t is "A man who wears a silk hat,
and If he has no other title insists upon
having Esq added to his name when
letters are addressed to him
The west end Londoner Of social pre-
tensions accepts this definition in prac-
tice. Summer and winter, in rain or shine,
he wears high silk hat in the streets of
London and carries it into the drawing
room when he pays an afternoon call. 1t
is only when he takes a train for the
provinces or for the continent that he
ventures to use more comfortable head
gear.
He also expects to have the distinction
of Esquire" when letter is addressed
to him and is highly offended if he finds
on the envelope the prefix Mr." AS a
matter of fact, the number of English
gentlemen who are legally entitled to The
medieval honors of esquire is insignif-
cant 1t is a self-assumed title, which
signifies nothing that is substantial in
rank or privilege.
In common use in London esquire
simply means that the person so addressed
does not chose to be associated with
tradesmen and ordinary working people
and that he is gentleman" who inVari-
ably wears a silk hat.

His home was in ST. Louis, and he had
travelled to Coney Island because a ply
stefan had told him that sea baths were
necessary to restore his health.
Don't go into the surf at first, but
throw a pail of the sea water over your
self twice a day for a week, in order to
get accustomed to it," advised the ply
sician.
Having secured quarters in the hotel, he
purchased a bucket, marched down to the
beach, accosted the life guard and said:
Can l have a pail of water?"
The sea was high on the beach, and the
guard had only to take a step forward
to scoop up a pailful The St. Louis man
asked the price of it, and guard. alive
TO the opportunity, said the regular price
was Is cents pail.
Later in the day the st. Louis man
went after another pail of water. The
sea had receded ana the visitor from the
West noted that fact Immediately. AS the
guard walked back with the pail of water
the ST. Louis man, looking up and down
the beach where the surf had been break
ing only a few hours before, raised his
hands above his head and said, fervently

FARM FIRE INSURANCE..

Farm property is not considered good
risk by fire insurance companies, aud
where policies are written on such prop
erty higher rates are charged than for
city Insurance. Notwithstanding the
higher rates, it is said that farm insur-
ance has been generally found unprofta-
BILE by the companies. Farmers very nat
urally look with disfavor upon the dis
elimination in rates against them, and
are interested in any plan which promises
to afford them fire protection at reduced
cost
Along this line an interesting expert
meut is being made in the state of Massa-
chusetts. The Salisbury and Amesbury
Mutual Fire Insurance Company, one of
the Oldest mutual organizations in the
commonwealth has just passed under the
control of the State Grange, and will be
used by that organization in covering the
risks of its members, The company was
organized in 1855. upon the old plan of
mutual insurance, in which the person
desiring protection paid down at the time
Of taking out his policy a small sum as
company. and gave his note for percen-
tage of the amount insured, in lieu OF a
cash premium. These notes constituted
the total liability of the members. They
were likewise the capital of the company
Whenever loss occurred, the notes were
assessed each for its proportionate share
OF the indemnity promised. If no fire
| - - -
life of policy, there was no assessment
upon the note of the policy holder, and
the totaa cost of the insurance was what
the insured had paid towards the fund
for meeting current expenses This sum,
usually, was very small.
There Nwere many companies organized
under that plan in Massachusetts,, but all
save six of them have gone out of BUSH
ness. One of the six is the Salisbury ana
Amesbury, which has passed to the con-
troll of the farmers. The plan has been
modified little, but its original salient
features are preserved.
In his annual report the Insurance Com
missioner of Massachusetts refers hope
fully TO this transfer of the Salisbury
and Amesbury Company. He does not
say that the farmers will succeed in in
surfing themselves at less cost than Others
will do 1t for them, but he says Ehe ex,
pertinent will prove fair test to the
| question whether farm property can be
insured in a mutual company carrying
only farm risks for a less rate than that
fixed by the companies that have been
covering property of that character IN con-
nection with protected risks" Should
the enterprise prove successful, II ought
to be gratifying to the insurance comps-
MES. who say they are making no money
on farm insurance. as well as TO, the far
mers. who claim that they are paying too
high rates.
