few mountain counties TO hear from

lead, Governor Beckhsm has almost
certainly won his fight against Sena-
tor McCreary, for the nomination
for the Uuited States senatorship in
yesterdays Democratic primary.
The Governors majority will be
about 4 900.
Samuel W. Hager was nominated
for Governor 10 the same primary
by a majority Of between $4,000
and 10, 900.
Although Senator McCresry car

Beckham ran so well In the county

four in the lower House.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Committees
representing the American Bankers
association and the New York Cham
Der of Commerce met In this city
Monday to endeavor to frame a
measure for the consideration of con,
gress looking to the giving OF author
ity to issue emergency circulation in
cases of financial stringency.
The importance OF the work Of the
commission can not be overesti'
mated. 1t will be in session here
three or four days and perhaps
week. There is a definite plan ant
determination not to adjourn until a
conclusion SHALL have been reached
and definite plan adopted upon which
all members of the commission are
agreed. That plan will probably be
the one which during the coming SEES
SION of congress will be embodied in
10 law.
1t is an open secret that President
Roosevelt has purposely delayed
writing that important part Of his
message to congress dealing with the
financial question, so he could have
advantage of the recommendations OF
this commission Of bankers. The rec
ommepdaiio of this commission, Il
is believed, will be reflected in the
PRESIDENTS message.
II is conceded that no member OF
the commission will have more i'm
portant part in its deliberations than
Mr.. Huttig, of st. Louis, who has
made a study of the elastic currenc!
question for a number of years, as he
has of the financial situation in the
United States and the part which the
national government has In relation
to the banking situation of the coun'
try. 1t seems to be generally under
stood that the commission will fin.
ally agree upon an elastic currency
plan which will be either an ampli
fication or modification of what has
become known as the New York
Chamber of Commerce plan. Bank
ers everywhere and the public gen
orally have been made familiar with
this Plan through its exploitation in
the press and agitation Of the sub
ject by great financial institutions
of New York City. Mr.. Huttig has 6
plan of his cwn which is a modifica
ton of the chamber CT commerce
plan. Several other members of the
commission are favorable to the Hut
tig plan, and it will surprise no one
If the St. Louis banker will impress
his ideas upon majority of the com
mission members.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. I2.-The
second annual session OF the South
ern immigration and Quarantine
conference began Monday. The rea
purpose of the conference In &C
bring about a more equitable distri
button of immigrants. The idle ne
gro class causes some apprehension
In the minds OF immigrants, It n
said, and this operates against the
south receiving what It thinks is its
proper share Of laborers from abroad
Various plans are suggested for rid
ding the south Of its worthless ne
groes, and the race question there
fore was early injected into the dis
cussion.
Gov. Hayward, OF South Carolina
said the coming Of immigrants to the
south had a bearing upon the prac
teal and direct solution Of the race
problem. There had been too much
theorizing; 1t was time for action
He said:
Sectional feeling fortunately Ia
passing away and our people under
stand each other better. Problems
which were at one time peculiarly
southern are becoming national. We
Americans are more and more mu
tually carrying the white mans bur
den. We have been seeking for
some time to make some change In
our political and economic system
which will affect the negro alone and
which will, at the same time. aid In
solving our problem.
IL do not think that conditions
which are the result Of years can be
changed In a day by the adoption
of any rule or the enactment Of any
special legislation. To solve the
race question will require not only
tine bet patience and judgment on
the part OF the white man and upon
the part Of the negro; 1t will call for
the exercise of more common sense
and far greater appreciation OF
his moral responsibility"
Gov. Hayward did not believe that
the antagonism between the races
in the south was as bad as had been
reported. "That conditions are far
from satisfactory, | will admit" he
said, "but | do not believe that the
southern people are standing on q
volcano and that We are not far re-
moved from a race war. One race
riot in the city of Atlanta, condemned
by the people and press of Atlanta
and the south does not mean a race
war any more than a similar riot
in Ohio is fore-runner OF massacre
throughout the north.
"Any solution Of our race problem
in the south lies as much with the
negro as with the white man, but
one of the greatest barriers to any
advancement of the negro Is his
natural Incidence. This explains his
failure to use his opportunity and in
this alone Is responsible for the dis.
astrous results which follow. The
white race is the predominant race
and the negro must understand once
and for all that the bounds OF the
social and political questions will be
determined by the white man alone
and by the white mans code. He
has a right to expect that his civil
status should be the same in every
respect as is that of white man. "A
proper understanding Of these funda-
mental principles by the negro-and
there is no reason why he should not
nderstand-would be long step In
the right direction. II he refuses to
adjust himself to these inflexible con-
ditions, then the negro will have to

NEW DEAL IN LIFE INSURANCE.

The bills introduced in the New York
legislature TO carry out the recommended
lions of the Armstrong committee con-
template radical reforms in the life in
surance business. Among these recon-
mendations are the following: No in
vestment in the stock OF any corporation
except municipal one; forbidding all
syndicate participations. purchases and
sales on joint account. and making of
any agreement that company shall
withhold from sale any securities which
II may own or acquire; forbldding any
officer or director being pecuniarily in
terested In any deal made by n COM
nany, except In case of loan on his pol
Icy; TO limit the new business which any
company may take TO $150,O0O,OO0 a
year; annual distribution Of dividends
In cash or TO be applied In reinsurance
or reduction Of premiums; compelling
OF an annual accounting; forbldding the
issuance In the future of deferred divi-
dend policies.
Not the least important OF these
recommendations and the one against
which the companies will perhaps make
the most determined fight is that plac-
ing maximum limit upon the amount
Of new policies that may be written in
any one year. An official OF one of the
largest companies is quoted as saying
In regard 10 this that IL would work ir-
reparahle injury to the companies doing
business under the New York statutes.
He said that this, together with the re-
strictions placed upon commissions TO
agents. would make II hard for the com

span ISH WAR PENSIONS.

Applications for pensions from Span
ish war veterans are reported to be
pouring into the pension office and be-
fore the pension committee of congress
with astonishing rapidity. 1t Is stated
that many OF these applications are due
to misunderstanding. 1t appears to
be assumed by the veterans OF the war
with Spain that the act OF 1890, as 1t
applies to the civil war veterans, should
apply to them. But they cannot get
veterans OF the civil war. though in
certain cases congress may accord them
like consideration. that Is, allow them
pensions whenever they become disabled
from any cause which is unrelated TO
the service.
The Spanish war pension roll has
been increasing rapidly. In 1899 1t was
only S2S,OOO. The next year II was
twelve times ms large. Another twelve
months increased IL fourfold practically,
making the 1901 total nearly S1.200.00O.
In the last fiscal year II had reached
81, 4O9,09 1t Is remarked that the
popularity of this roll is that its names
are on the books to stay long time.
Death will not greatly deplete 1t. Every
bit OF new legislation will increase It,
OF course the men who enlisted In our
last war and suffered disability from
that service should receive government
aid, hut to apply to all of them the law
which gives q disabled civil war veteran
pension whether his disability arose
from the service or not cannot reason
ably he expected. 1t Is the very general
sentiment that the men who fought to
preserve the union are entitled TO all
the consideration and care which the
government can properly give them and
while those who responded to the call
for the war with Spain should he treated
fairly and justly i'm the matter of pen
sions their claim Is not so strong as
that OF the civil war veterans. Both
were patriotic but the sacrifices OF the
union soldiers were infinitely greater

DAVID n HENDERSON.

In the period Of his political activity.
which extended over twenty years, the
late David u. Henderson exerted
great influence Ia the councils Of the
republican party. He was man Of
forceful character, high order OF abll-
ity and In the advocacy Of the principles
and policies IN which he believed always
earnest and aggressive He made an
excellent record as a union soldier and
M a member Of the house OF representa-
lives, OF which he was twice elected
speaker, he showed qualities OF states
manshlp that were recognized through
out the nation.
Colonel Henderson was popular not
alone with his constituents, but with
all who knew him intimately. He was
a magnetic man. with n kindly dlsposi-
ton and jovIal manner which made
friends and held them. He was liberal
and broad.gauged in his views and was
generally found In opposition TO the
isms with which Iowa has been afflicted.
Although n good fighter, Colonel Hen
derson was tolerant toward those who
did not think ms he did. He had great
power as a campaign speaker, setting
forth his views with force and candor
that were most persuasive and convinc-
ing. Though not distinguished ms an
orator, his speeches in congress always
commanded the most respectful atten-
ton and made n strong impression upon
the public mind.
Colonel Henderson was native of
Scotland. Had he been born I'm the
United States he would have been n
presidential possibility. The people of
the entire country will join with those
OF Iowa In mourning the death of man
whose honorable public career and up
right life MS citizen entitle his name
to conspicuous place In our history.
