INCREASED INSURANCE.

The old line insurance companies
have decided upon very material in
crease in the rate of insurance charged
against q certain class of risks They
state their position in the following cir
cular letter to agents:
THE very serious loss which we, IN
common with other agency Companies,
have sustained during the past three
years, has forced us to the decision
to require an increased compensation
for the liability we assume, particularly
upon certain classes which have proved
the most persistently Improbable.
From and after this date we will ask
you to secure for this company an ad-
vance Of rs per cent. over existing rates
upon the following classes:
IL. All stocks Of merchandise.
"2. All frame store buildings.
"3. All manufacturing plants and
special hazards.
This advance in rates to be effective
from this date and to continue until
further notice; and, as our action Is an
individual one, we will ask you further
to disregard the action or competition
of other companies and either secure
the increase in rate for us or decline
the business"

EXPERT SAFE BLOWERS.

The safe in the office Of the Victor
Cotton Oil company was blown open
by expert cracksmen last Friday night
and robbed of such Of its contents as
the operators cared to carry off. 1t is
not known that they took away any
thing. however, except cash to the
amount of $75.7S.
1t was a good job. Nitro-glycerine
was used. The safe was Of only medi-
um strength, being an inexpensive one
formerly used by the Ganson Dry
Goods company. But all the surround
ings indicated that the burglars knew
their business. Nitro-glycerine, as most
of our readers know, is an explosive
fluid which develops its greatest power
in a seam or crevice. Indications about
seemed to tell story to the effect that
the crack around the door Of the safe
had first been daubed with mud, after
which a section of a razor blade was
ing through which to pour the explos-
i've fluid. After a sufficient quantity of
the explosive had been introduced, the
charge was detonated by some means
best known to the burglars, and which
can be arrived at only through theory.
AS the result Of the explosion, the
outside door was blown off with such
force as to tear up the floor near by

THE CHAINGANG.

Although much hindered Of late by
the bad weather, the chaingang Is still
at work on the Yorkville and Tirzah
road.S
The Robinson Hill' is receiving
more attention than any other one
point, and the work that is being done
there is of very satisfactory nature.
Speaking Of the situation on Monday
Supervisor Gordon said: 1.-THE outlook
is that we are not going to do nearly
as much work on this Yorkville and
Tirzah road as we would like to do
The people have not hauled enough
rock. There has been some rock haul
ed, but not nearly as much as will be
required. I fear that we are not going
to be able to do much beyond improve
some Of the hills. The weather has
been too bad for rock hauling Of late,
and when it clears up now the people
will have to go to plowing."
There have been two more deaths on
the chaingang lately. Will Fewell, who
W pOlSOll lhS S"SiA ACAiAAJ ~
Ebenezer died about ten days ago, and
Will Gill died in the poor house last
Friday.
The case Of Gill was pitiable one.
It developed some six months ago that
he was going to die. DR.. J. H. Saye and
others interested themselves in his
case and tried to get him pardoned.
The grand jury recommended a par
don, but Governor McSweeney declin-
ed to grant it. At last the Negro got
so bad that the supervisor took 1t up
on himself to send the poor fellow to
the county home, where he was given
as good attention as could be had un-
der the circumstances.
There is no special regret In the case
Of VIII Fewell. He has all along been
a desperate fellow, and gave the guards
much annoyance. They are agreed
that his death was about as good
thing for all concerned as could have
happened.

What of the Future?

AS soon as the necessary machinery
can be put in motion, and that will be
without great deal Of delay, the town
of Yorkville, for 20 years past one of
the soberest and most conservative
towns in the state, is to again engage
in the liquor business, and we beg
to make just a few preliminary re-
marks by way of preserving the record,
perhaps for future reference.
Time and again during the past 20
years, we have discussed this question
with all the intelligence and earnest
ness that we nave been able to bring to
bear. Though we may have appeared
harsh at times, we have always en-
deavored to say our say without mall
ice, and never yet have we uttered a
sentiment on the subject that we did
not believe to be absolutely true.
During the past few weeks especial
ly, we have been at particular pains to
lay the situation before our readers as
we have seen it. All that we have said
we believe. We know that there are
those who honestly disagree with us,
and we know that there are many on
the other side who do not care whether
we were or are right or wrong, so they
get whisky and plenty of it. Under
our system even these last are as
much entitled to say what they want,
and get it, if there are majority OF
them, as have those who consider the
interest and welfare Of others along
with their own interest and welfare.
But as to how much of what has been
predicted will turn out in accordance
with predictions, remains for the fu-
ture to determine.
We do not believe that the legal sale
of whisky is going to increase the trade
or prosperity of the town. There are
those who seen to fear that there may
be a disposition on the part of some
people to punish the town on account
of the establishment of the dispensary.

WHAT the senate is going to do In the
matter of providing punishment for
those who attempt to kill the president
is not yet apparent; but stringent
measures should be adopted. 1t is
question as to whether the life OF the
president should be held more sacred
than that of any other man. There Is
no doubt, however, that the president
is in greater danger Of assassination
than is most individual citizens, and
he is entitled, therefore, to the greatest
protection. There would be nothing
wrong in giving the United States court
jurisdiction and allowing a jury to i'm
pose the death penalty, if it sees pro-
per, for an attempted assassination.

We do not believe this. Trade depends
on having the best goods at the lowest
prices and keeping the people advised
of the fact. But we do believe that
the increased sale and consumption of
liquor in this locality, especially in the
homes Of the better element Of our peo-
pie, is going to decrease the earning
and producing capacity of this section
as a whole, and for that reason indus
trial and business growth will be less
rapid than it would be otherwise. We
believe also that the highways leading
out of Yorkville will became less safe
than they have been, and that security
to life and property will become less
sacred than heretofore.
We are sorry to say these things,
and we hope it will develop that we are
mistaken. We shall centainly not try
to bring vindication Of our views In
proof. On the contrary, our readers
may depend upon 1t that we will con-
tinue to stand, as we have always
stood, for decency and order. If it shall
turn out that after all the dispensary
is the best thing for the country In
general and individual homes in par
ticular, we shall rejoice at the kind
Providence that sent it against oul
wishes. If, on the other hand, however
it shall develop that we are correct In
the fears we have expressed, we hope
no one will seek to lay at our door any
share Of the responsibility.

abandon the idea Of having the candi-
dates appear before the people and OF
having them cross-examined by the
voters, not at all. But why would not
seven or ten meetings give the candi-
dates exactly the same chance Of pre-
senting their views as fifty, and why
would not seven or ten meetings allow
the people to ascertain and inquire the
views of their candidates?
There are already five avowed candi-
dates in the field for the United States
senate and an equal number for COVER
nor; that means ten half hours at the
very least calculation, or five solid
hours of talking, without Interruptions
or overtime allowances, for the candi-
dates for only two offices, and the pros
pect Is that there will be more candi-
dates in both of these contests. What
an ordeal What about the string OF
other candidates? They pay their
money and have their rights under the
present constitution. The party consti-
tuition may restrict the campaign meet
lings to candidates whose elections stand
for policies, and in that way somewhat
save the audiences and the candidates.
There promises to be four or more can
didates for secretary Of state, two for
attorney general, two or three for ad-
jutant general, a couple for superin-
tendent of education, three or four for
comptroller general and 80 on down the
list, and a regular hurdle race for rail-
road commissioner, and the candidates
for congress and solicitor often contend
that they pay their money and ought
to be allowed a few minutes at each
of the meetings, and all Of this takes
time.
If at the campaign meetings issues
real live and vital questions, were dis
cussed, 1t would be a different matter
perhaps, but how small a part issues
now play in a campaign is a serious
concern, entirely Independent OF the
sense Of having fewer campaign meet
ings than the present constitution pro-
vides for-mudslinging, sarcasm, back
biting, criticism and personal praise
now make up far too much Of what is
heard from the stump.
| If the state convention simply pro-
vides for one meeting in each congress-
ional district and stops, there it will dc
a great political service to the people
for it is only the politicians who hope
that someone will make a "break," and
those who dote on prize fights on the
stump who really care very much about
these meetings. The people are easily
satisfied and all they want to know Is
how the candidates stand on leading
issues, and not how they can withstand
the jabs of political opponent or them
selves provoke others. 1t is not such
characteristics that make the success
