JOHN p.

Chicago Record-Herald: He was a man
of genius. He possessed the intellectual
qualities required in aggressive discussions
Of the highest political and social ques-
tions. He was an extremist In his be-
liefs on social subjects Of the day. 1t is
not too much to say that he was a revolu-
Zionist In all his instincts and In the pur-
poses which he followed. But he was q
humane, not a destructive. revolutionist
Chicago Inter-ocean: Personally Gov
ernor Altgeld was a courteous and scholarly
gentleman. Although he was Of German
descent, he was In temperament more like
a Frenchman. He owed his power over
the disconnected to that holiness and stur-
diness that caused him often to sacrifice
himself In the interest Of q cause. This
dominant trait in his character was illus
trated in the last act Of his life, and II will
be remembered to his credit.
st. Louis GIobe-Democrat: John p. Ait
geld was the Danton Of the democratic
rising Of 1895. William J. Bryan was its
Robespierre. william ]. Stone was its
Marat. The brains Of the free silver
revolution was Altgeld. He organized II
and gave It the courage and the plausibility
which made It a grave menace to the ma
tion's financial honor and stability. A man
of great talent, OF vast industry and Of
utter fe~arlessness. he was by far the most
formidable Of the foes which conservatism
and stability had to encounter in the great
eataelysm of half a dozen years ago.
Minneapolis Times: Governor Altgeld
was a man OF fine abilities and great en-
ergy, but a cynical and somewhat pessi-
mistic turn Of mind caused him TO fall
short OF the heights he might have at
tained by the full use Of the splendid
talents with which he was endowed. He
was both an obstructionist and a radical
in political and social endeavor. His very
earnestness defeated his purpose and his
sympathies led him too often to the sup
port OF that most futile protest against
the existing order Of things-the protest
that adopts the torch and the bomb as argu-
ments. His pardon Of Fielden, Schwat
and Neebe affords an illustration Of this
trait.
Chicago News; 1t was Mr.. AItgeId's lot
to confront many enemies in his life. He
was not a man to listen to compromise OF "a
affect friendship for those who were tight
ing his principles. His temperamental
qualities we're such that having once de-
cided that a given policy was right he could
not deViate from II nor listen to sug-
g~estions that Il be altered or amended.
These characteristics, together with his
extreme radicalism upon many questions
Of politics OF economy, undoubtedly weak
ened his hold on public eonndence. They
also Iessened his influence and his useful
ness. He will be remembered. never
tkeless, as a man OF earnest convictions
and as an advocate Of all policies which IN
his belief Tended toward q larger indi-
| Vidual liberty for his fellow man
Omaha daily bee., 1902-03-17

The irrigation bill, II appears probable.
will not pass the house as easily as II
did the senate, though there seems to be
good reason to believe that It will pass.
Eastern opposition to the Measure IL
voiced in the report submitted by Rep
resentative Ray OF New York, which
condemns the bill as unconstitutional.
In regard to applying the proceeds from
the sales Of public lands to irrigation,
the report characterizes the plan as I'M
fair, because It would result in taking
the proceeds of public land sales In one
state and using them for irrigation in
another state. 1t is further urged that
there is 40 power in the United States to
condemn lands or water rights In one
state for the use and improvement for
sale Of lands situated in another state,
even when the lands in that other state
belong to the general government.
This provision of the bill is held to be
unconstitutional and It is further
claimed also to be unconstitutional for
the reason that congress has no power
to provide for the irrigation improve
ment Of its public lands situated within
a state. Supreme court cases are cited
in support Of this contention. The
Measure is also attacked as comforting
dangerous power on the secretary Of the
interior, who 1t is declared could, If he
chose to do So, divert the beadwaters
of the Missouri river into Utah or Idaho.
Another allegation Of the opponents of
the bill is that it has conflicting provi.
sions and IL enacted into law in Its
present shape would lead to endless litl-
cation.
How strong the opposition is has not
yet been manifested, but the friends of
the measure express confidence that its
opponents will be unable to defeat II.
1t should be borne in mind that the
irrigation bill al passed by the senate is
a compromise measure agreed upon
after thorough discussion by the repre-.
sentatives of the states directly con
cerned in irrigation. The power vested
by the bill in the secretary of the in
terror Is not likely to be arbitrarily ex-
ercised to deprive any state Of Its water
rights or its just proportion of the i'm
provements contemplated. on the con-
trary the secretary of the interior may
be expected to carry out the recon-
mendations Of expert engineers in the
location of reservoirs and establish
ment of irrigation districts with the sole
view of making the most Of the re-
sources at his disposal.
As originally drawn the bill limited
each state to the amount realized from
the sale Of public lands within the
boundaries, but this feature has been
dropped so as to give equal opportuni-
ties to all the states to secure their pro
rata of the aggregate receipts from pub
lie land sales regardless of location.
While the bill now before the house
may still be defective in some particu-
lars, 1t embodies substantially all that
the people Of the semi-arid region car
hope to secure from congress at this
time. With a start once made, under
national supervision experience will In
time demonstrate what more is neces-
a to reap the full benefits Of a com-
prehensive irrigation system.

BoNp PURCHASES STOPPED.

BOND PURCHASES
The decision of the secretary of the
treasury to discontinue for the present
the purchase of bonds, which has been
going on for nearly a year, is said to be
with a view to checking the retirement
Of bank circulation. The high price Of
government bonds. m%easurably at least
due to treasury buying, has been an in
ducement to banks to sell those on de-
post with the government and reduce
their circulation, an operation which it
Is manifestly not desirable to encourage.
A Washington dispatch states that Sec
rotary Shaw makes no secret of his dis
approval of the national bankers who
are expressing their a~pprehensions of a
money stringency and yet contributing
to the contraction OF the volume of cur
rency by retiring circulation. He
thinks that the relation of the govern
ment to the banks is not, or ought not
to be, a mere jug-handle arrangement,
the banks always looking to the govern
ment to help them out of difficulty, but
never going out of their way to help the
government when their turn comes. 1t
is announced that in making govern
ment deposits those banks which are
most active in retiring their notes will
be least considered.
The action Of Secretary Shaw in this
matter is unquestionably Judicious and
there is reason to expect that it will
have the desired result. When Secre-
tary Gage begun purchasing bonds,
some eleven months ago, there was ne
money in the treasury was creating a
stringency in the market for which re-
Lief was urgently required. In that period
the treasury has paid out yer $75,000,-
900. with good results to the money
market and 1t is presumed without loss
to the government, at least In the long
run. But while the treasury surplus is
still large, it manifestly would be I'M
wise to continue a policy which in
creases the cost of bonds to the govern
ment and at the same time offers an
inducement to the banks to reduce their
circulation, thereby to an extent defeat
ing one purpose of the purchase of
bonds, which Is to put more money in
circulation. How long the stoppage of
bond purchases by the treasury will be
maintained depends upon financial con-
ditions, but the action Of the secretary
Of the treasury ought to have a whole
some effect upon the banks, which will
at least learn from it that he expects
from them fair consideration for what
the government does to help them in
their relations to the business COM
munity. If the United States senate
would pass the bill to cut off the war
taxes the accumulation of a surplus In
the treasury would 500 cease and there
would be no more necessity for bond
purchases by the government, but there
appears to be no disposition 1 n the SEN
ate to give the question of tax reduc-
ton consideration.

Action of the UNDERWRITERS Provokes
Vigorous Criticism.
Philadelphia ime

Philadelphia Times.
Only in one year, the exceptional year OF
1899. did the local fire losses exceed the
premium receipts. In the seven years since
1894 the premiums paid In Philadelphia were
more than 9 1000, 900 beyond the Are losses.
Last year the excess was 1900, 900, the
largest ever recorded. Yet 1t Is now pro-
posed to add one-fourth to the rates OF
insurance in Philadelphia to make up for
losses sustained elsewhere.
Forty per cent upon the receipts Is an
exorbitant allowance for carrying on any
business that exacts SO little expenditure
as that Of the FIRE insurance companies.
They pay their agents only Is per cent.
Taxes and other expenses may account for
about one-half Of the percentage given.
The rest must be profit to somebody. II
certainly should leave the companies margin
enough to stand an occasional blow. II
not, they had better leave the business to
somebody who can conduct It with less
waste.
Philadelphia is not one Of the cities where
the business has recently resulted in loss,
and therefore 1t is not one OF the cities
where rates Of insurance ought to be In
discriminatory raised. The companies are
not compelled to insure anybody. Each
policy is a distinct contract and any COM
pany is at liberty to refuse Insurance on
property that appears unsafe or to exact an
additional premium for additional risk. II
the companies or their agents fall in intelli-
gent discrimination and suffer loss In conse-
quence. they have no right to make their
substantial customers suffer for their fault.
They can make their rates on dangerous
buildings prohibitory II they will. They
would then not need to levy prohibitory
rates on the property from which their
secure income is derived. The rates are
higher now than ever before and are a seri-
Gus obstruction upon substantial business
enterprise. They are at least as high as
the acknowledged conditions OF the busi-
ness Justify. A further general increase
would be a fragrant extortion.
