A BIG INCREASE.

The increase in receipts by the In
surance Department since the first of
April, the beginning of the fiscal year
has been $12,2S7.9S. The increase will
make the receipts for the present fiscal
year over 100000. The receipts for
1898, the year before Mr.. Young be-
came Insurance Commissioner. were
$4,000.
This is a steady and large increase,
showing that the insurance business
grows rapidly in the State, and that
the department is well managed 1t
will be remembered that when the re-
ceipts increased under Fusion rule,
they made great claims for their Seq
rotary of State because of the increase.
If their claim had any foundation.
then the big increase under the Demo-
cratic administration is a powerful
argument for that party.

with some who were really not old.
as with Montaigne, who died at So.
or Thomas Fuller, who was only SO.
For all deaths love of a shining
mark, many an eminent author has
reached a ripe old age, and. often liter
arv activity has lasted to the end To
the enrichment of posterity. Chaucer
who died at II, did not write the Can
terbury Tales till he was 63. Tha,
stout old ScOtchman, George Buchanan.
wrote his de Jure Regni" in defense
of popular rights at 10, and lived four
years longer. Cervantes, dying at 60.
had finished his immortal Don Quix-
ote"' but one year before. Thomas
Hobbies, who wrote his ''Leviathan''
at So, lived to be 81. izaak Walton's
angler" was published when he was
so, and other literary work helped to
fill the remaining 80 years of his lonc
life. Edmund Waller lived to be SO.
md Isaac Newton to be IS.
John Home, the Scotch tragedian.
who, in the estimation of Youthful
fellow-countrymen, had vanquished
"Wullie' Shakespeare, died at SO;
Horace Walpole at 80, Isaac Disraeli
at 50, Jeremy Bentham at S5 and
Wordsworth at so. OF those dying -
our own days, Carlyle was &C. Rusknl
81 and Browning II.
Tennyson, whose age was SO, was
tuneful to the end, and in "CrossinS
the Bar" left behind him a swan son~
of rare beauty. Victo Hugo lived to
the same age, and to witness his
apotheosiS in the France that had OK
lied him.
Herbert Spencer died last year at
S3 almost with pen in hand George
Macdonald at so. Goodwin Smith at
81, George Meredith at rs and Tolstoi
at ID are still living instances of liter
airy vigor, and lbsen, whose years equal
Tolstoi's. despite his reported feeble
ness, may not have penned his last
sentence.
The American group of old men
may fittingly conclude the list. Wash
ington Irving lived to be rs, and wrote
his Life of Washington" in his las,
years. George Bancroft died at 81, the
concluding volume of his history APP
pearing when he was 50. William Cul-
len Bryant was "a and Walt Whitman
10. OF the famous New England
group, Emerson died at79, LongfelloW
at rs, Holmes at Sc, Whittier at 80
and Lowell at ~. Hawthorne, dying
at so, was. by comparison, cut down
in his youth. Still with us are Edward
Everett Hale at 50, Thomas Went
worth Higginson at 81. and Edmund
Clarence Stedman at Il.
Not all these veterans lived a serene
and Joyous old age. Yet of very many
of them it might well have been sald
by their contemporaries. as DR.. Holmes
said of Whittier in one of his poems
they delighted to fire back and forth
at each other in their declining years;
What story is this of the year of his
birth?
Let him live to a hundred, we want
him on earth.

BISHOP POTTER'S ACT INDEF'EN
SIBLE.

The action of Bishop Potter in
"dedicating' the tavern" in New
York has stirred UP the moral sense
of America and he has no defenders
in the Christian pulpit. This thing of
minister of the gospel "dedicating' a
saloon, even of the best type, is re-
voting to the minds of men who
know the ills that follow in the wake
of the liquor evil. In many churches
on Sunday morning the matter was
touched upon by the ministers:
In a sermon at the Ocean Grove
Auditorium in Asbury Park, before an
audience of 5000, Rev. DR.. A. b.
Leonard of New York, corresponding
secretary of the Missionary Society of
the Methodist Episcopal church, Sc
verely scored Bishop Potter and the
Subway Saloon. He said:
1.-THE devil will appear in a new role
every now and then. horns and hoofs,
and the dedication of saloon by
Bishop Potter doesn't make the devil
any less the devil. The Subway Tav-
ern is properly named. 1t means an
underground place, and it will lead
many to the terrible pit
Rev. DR.. w. o. Bennett, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church, at
Stroudsville, Pa, the largest in the
country, tonight paid his compliments
to Bishop Potter as follows:
"I can readily imagine that the
devils in hell held high carnival,
clapped their hands with joy and grin
ned with delight at the spectacle they
beheld."
In his, the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terrain church in New York. DR..
Campbell Morgan, preached on he
text, "But they who have erred
through wine and through strong
drink are out of the way" When
asked what he thought of Bishop
Potter's act, DR.. Morgan said:
"I cannot undertake to pass judg-
ment upon another mans motives, and
moreover, L do not know Bishop Pot
fer. I am quite sure. however, that
he feels he is in the right and that
from his standpoint, his motives are
good.
pronounce Judgment upon BiNlop
Potter, nor condemn his motives L do
not hesitate to say that it was the
most inexDlicable thing / ever heard
of. to set such a seal of approval upon
the most damning traffic in the world
1t was absolutely unprecedented as an
expression OF the attitude of the
church. Without undertaking to i'm
pugn motives the thing itself appears
to me to be VIGOROUSLY and awfully
bad

Italian Labor and Cotton.

Atlanta Constitution.
Planters in some parts Of Mississippi
are preparing to meet the problem of
labor for the cotton fields by bringing
down from New York a number of
Italian families. The work of secur-
ing these laborers has been done by
Mr.. C. S. Phipard, manager of the
Society for the Protection OF Italian
Immigrants, a New York organiza-
ton whose aims and purposes are in
dicated by it's name. Mr.. Phipard,
VINO has just returned to New York,
after a tour of investigation in the
southern States, presented conditions
in the South in this terse statement to
those whom he desires to interest:
All the planters are anxious to
procure labor TO gather this years
crop. | am advised by reliable
planters that a green hand Will
pick from 100 to $50 pounds of
cotton per day and on becoming
expert from $50 to 400 pounds.
By this means any family sent
down on or before September 10
will be assured of a cash income
up TO the time of the next plant
ing. in January, when they can
take a farm for each family of as
many acres as they can properly
handle.
While Mr.. Phipard is speaking par
ticularly of conditions that exist
around Greenville, Miss. where he has
formed a business connection with a
number Of planters similar conditions
obtain throughout the cotton belt and
the outlook is one which ought to APP
peal to thousands of immigrants from
Italy. The great problem facing the
Southern planters this year-a prob

Political Chat.

AsheviIle, N c., Aug. S.--Judge II.
G. Ewart, Republican nominee FOR
Congress from this district has m
formed Congressman Gudger that ne
would be glad to advance the date Tor
the beginning of the joint canvass
three weeks, opening the campaign al
Franklin on August y" instead Oh at
Brevard on September IL. Mr.. Gudger
would not accept this proposition
however. saving that this was too
early for the campaign, to open, ana
also that the interim two weeks
Judge Ewart proposed to have be-
tween speeches in the far west ana
these nearer AsheVille. was objection
able. Judge Ewart said THAI his rea-
son for making this request was that
he had several important cases at lien
Jacksonville court beginning on sep
TENDER / ., and that he should be there
to attend to them. Judge Ewart said
that Mr. Gudger suggested THAT he
send a substitute, but the Judge de-
clned to do this.
The following is taken from an in
terview with Chairman Thomas Tag
CERT in the New York World:
1.-The outlook is better in Indiana
than it has ever been in my recollec-
lion" said Mr.. Taggart 1--WE have
fifteen years, the party is united, all
Gold Democrats and Bryan men are
working together, and there is the
best of feeling everywhere.
II have received a letter from Mr..
Bryan speaking III the highest terms
of Judge Parker, expressing the nope
that he will be elected, and saying
that as soon as he has finished his
lecture engagements he'Will be at the
service of the National Committee. lie

has been abandoned? ?"
II want to say" replied Mr.. Tag
CART, that l cannot prevent lffeSpoh-
sible statements being made by men
who have no authority to speak. For
myself | will say that we are going TO
fight where we have the slightest
chance. There is nothing in the situa-
ton in Illinois which would lead any
one to say that we would not fight
for the State. On the contrary, l be-
lieve we can carry it,
Here is what Judge Martin, Re-
publican member of the Supreme
court of New York, said of Chief JUS
tice Parker when he resigned: II
