TO THE ASSURING PUBLIC.

For many years this agency has written unquestioned and un- questionable fire insurance in companies that, with two or three exceptions, have been compelled to withdraw from the state on account of the antitrust law. However, we now represent IA old line stock companies, with paid-up cash capital and with in- identifying bonds, (not Fidelity bonds, note the difference), and are prepared to issue you insur- ance just as reliable as any we have heretofore written, to the limit of the carrying capacity of the companies.
 We propose, as we have always done, to see that your losses are promptly and fairly adjusted and can certainly render you better service than can strangers or outsiders.
 We write farm property and risks in adjacent towns, and will give prompt attention to all ap- plications.

When Speaker Cate was cho- sen presiding officer of the house it was generally supposed that he had accepted the Davis collar, for the governor had an easy ma jority in both houses. s While Governor Davis named several committees, so as to give his friends and one sister-in-law clerkships, he was refused the diotation of the ways and means committee as we'll as the peniten- tiary committee, for he hoped to stock the latter with friends who would give Reese Hogins a black eye. But all this would have perhaps been overlooked had not Cate taken the floor and laid bare the trap into which the governor sought to invite the legislature and then throw upon them the responsi- bility of the compromise he wanted to make with the rail- roads, wherein Senator Clarke was to get a $34,000 fee, big enough many think to stand a division with "Jeffie, old boy, ' for partnership services. Cate is probable candidate for gov- ernor and to attain his ambitions he could not serve as tool of the present governor. The num- Der of those who have followed ''blindly" but now see the light is increasing daily.
 The house amended the insane asylum appropriation bill with a proviso that no one shall be en- ployed at the institution who is a relative within the fourth degree of any member of the board or superintendent of the institution. As the present secretary, John H. Page, one of the governors newspaper friends, whom he has rewarded in various ways, now has a brother at work at the asy- lum, the alteration of the senate bill was declared to be a direct slap at the secretary of the Dem ocratic state committee.

the worse for the events. Last Satur-
day, in All address before the Shoe and
Leather men OF Chicago. he predicted
war with China or Japan, or both, as q
result OF construction of the Panama
canal. He says it is as inevitable as
the competition in trade that will
follow its completion. The opening OF
the canal will be aifording free artery
for trade, in which England with her
free trade, Germany with her peasant
toll and Russia with her serf labor,
will manufacture and produce, at a
rate we cannot rival, and they will
supply the Orient with the cOmmod.
tiles we ship by railroads across the
continent in reasonable competition
with other countries.
Another great danger" he said,
"will be the attempt to prevent the
manufactured products OF the Orient,
after supplying their local demands,
from returning in bulk in European
and Asiatic ships and being unloaded
at different ports on the canal and
and Pacific coast to such an amount as
will supply all demands of our home
countries. The result is that the na-
tural course OF the future is to make
the Orient the supply depot OF Amer.
lea instead of America being the
source of supply for the Orient. An
attempt will be made by this country
to lay tariffs which will prevent the
influx, conflicts will arise and war will
result. The third feature OF the fatal
future is that our toilers will not con.
sent that the Orientals shall immi.
crate to this country, because OF the
low wages for which they will work.
Both Japan and China will cry Asia
for Asiatice! Out with Americans!
The only remedy is the adjustment Of
the tariffs by which the raw materials
OF the world may have fair opportun-
ity in our markets. Chicagoans must

STRAINED RELATIONS OF LABOR
1t seems we have indeed fallen upon
evil times, from the number and SAN
culinary nature of the labor troubles,
near and far. The Chicago tcamsters'
strike seems to lie getting further from
peaceful settlement every day. Last
week we had to record conflict be-
tween Seattle and Tacoma long
shoremen, which resulted in proba.
bly, three deaths, and this week a
prolonged and desperate battle is be-
ing fought between the Sailors and the
Longshoremen's International Union,
at Bellingham, over the right to load
lumber vessels, and it had, at last ac-
counts, resulted in a pitched battle
with about a hundred contestants. At
Everett, there is contest over loading
the bark Pegasus, the local men ask
ing $l.4O per thousand feet for loading,
while they claim imported men work
as low as so cents per thousand. The
relations are so strained that con-
tlict may ensue at any time.

APPROPRIATIONS CANNOT BE MADE.
The Bellingham City Council, after
appropriating $500 for entertainment
at the Portland Fair by their hostess,
have decided to hold meeting for re.
peal of the order, as it is found to be
in direct conflict with a decision of
the Supreme Court, regarding the ex-
tent OF authority OF municipalities in
sppropriating money. The ruling ap-
plies, of course, equally we'll here, and
necessitates the raising of an enter
tainment fund by subscription. That
it will not be serious undertaking is
shown by the readiness with which q
large sum for the celebration was
raised. 1t will be remembered that
when the illegal appropriation was
made for "The Lobby" it was under.
stood that it should form no precedent
and that no further illegal assault
should be made upon the public treas.
ury.
