Both of these senators, generally
Known as regulars. were opposed by

hat Mr.. Martin would be elected un-

ployes whose deaths are caused by
accidents, and which system will be
of the greatest service to the public
taking into account the cost, the re
lief of the pressure upon public and
lpriyate charity, the diminution OF
pauperism of premature compulsion ia
labor and of crime.
Account must also be taken of all
the prejudice on the subject which
may have been erected into political
principles. and of the legislation al
ready achieved In two states it has
taken the form of public insurance
and in the report of one state COM
mittee it is recommended on the COM
pulsory basis and in the report of an
other on an optional basis. These do
not indicate that there is serious OBJ
stacle in prejudices against state in
surance if it will best answer the pur-
pose
At the present time we are facing
the extravagant cost of private insur-
anee, most of which is believed to be
inevitable, the expenses amounting,
roughly, to one-half of the premiums.
This battle of expense continues in
Great Britain under the workmen's
compensation. 1t is accompanied also
necessarily by close settlements and a
strong preference for lump sum settle
ments, while workingmen. their fam
lilies and the community are better
served by benefits being paid current
ly like wages.
THE estimated cost of agents COM
missions alone, were workmen's com
pensation in full operation in the Unit
ed States, would not be less than $780,
100000, and of total expenses fully
twice this amount as against not more
than $4O,000,000, or $500O0,O00 total
expenses under a general, national
wide compulsory insurance system.
This enormous, unnecessary expendi-
ture, once firmly established, is diff
cult to shake off, because it is taking
away the livelihood of persons engag-
ed in the business. The expenditure,
therefore, should not be incurred but
instead should be avoided from the
outset.
"The method of insurance under
state compulsion in associations of EN-
ployers fixing the rates and with joint
committees of employers and en-
ployees determining the benefits is the
wisest course. Under such a system
the pressure of the cost will gradually
increase, but as its maximum would
be much lower than under private
Insurance. The system would also
tend more than any other to introduce
effective prevention of accidents and
thereby diminish the waste.
This system is best adapted to the
United States, whether undertaken by
the states or by the nation. It is con-
stitutional under most of the state
constitutions. An occupation or ex-
else tax for this purpose, levied upon
employers or, if sickness insurance is
included upon employers and en-
ployees, could be collected under the
taxing powers of the national govern
ment and distributed for these pur-
poses, which are strictly ''the general
welfare of the United States"

Viterbo, Italy, April Again today
the trial of the Camorrists, was inter-
rupted, when Circo vitozzi, the accused
priest, weakened by his self-imposed
fast, tainted. He was under interroga-
tion and had worked himself into such
a state of mental and physical exhaus-
tion that he tumbled over against the
steel bars of the prisoners cage. Law
yers and carabineers rushed to his as
sistance and in the confusion Presi-
dent Bianchi declared the sitting sus-
pended. At the same time the court
ordered Vitozzi to break his fast with
the yolks of half dozen eggs.

FISHER SURPRISES THEM ALL
Prime Minister Of Australia Says
Large Land Owners Bane.
DO INJURY TO COMMONWEALTH
Refuses Degrees AZ oxford and Cam.
bridEe-Lord ROsebery Declares
EnRIishman's Home No Longer
His Castle.

LONDON, June 26.-Andrew Fisher, who
left Scotland where he worked as n pit
boy, to seek employment in the mines Of
! Australia, and who Is now back as priYua
minister OF the commonwealth has been
shocking the English by his outspokenness
and his support of ideas which here are
C nsidered almost anarchistic. Mr.. Fisher
s no respecter OF persons. Ills speech in
which he attacked James Kerr Hardie for
the gentlemans opposition to ornaments
showed that the ideas Of Australian and
English labor leaders differ radically.
Now he has been speaking to London
financlers who have interests in Australia
in even palmer terms.
A deputation from companies owning
large tracts of land in Australia waited
upon him to protest against the new
Australian land tax, which aims at break
ing up large estates The spokesman of
the deputatlon said the tax would keep
capital out of Australia.
MI Fishers reply was;
You don't know what YOU are taking
about" and then he proceeded to show
how. in his mind. the large land owner
retarded the progress OF the country by
tying up his land and holding II for spec
ulation.
Mr.. Fisher has thus far declined all
titles and degrees offered him. He did not
accept one at oxford. which was to con-
fer a degree upon him in common with
other prime ministers. and he declined q
degree offered him by Cambridge.
One Proud Boast Gone.
Lord Rosebery has exploded the idea that
IAN Englishman's house IL his castle"
The former minister has discovered that
in the finance act of last year. which
provided for the valuation of land there
is clause which permits valuer to en-
ter any house and inspect II at his will.
Lord Rosebery, accepting the privilege of
every Englishman, wrote TO the press q
letter OF protest. concluding thus:
There is thus n definite end of the proud
boast of centuries that AN Englishman's
house is his castle. We all remember
Chathams boast, The poorest man may
In his cottage bid defiance TO all the forces
OF the crown and so forth. I warn all
off this recitation. for Il Is now a mock
cry and a deception. We are a tanner race
now"
Sir Harry Poland, an eminent lawyer
undertook to reply TO Lord RoSebery and
established that the boast has been "a
mockery and deception" for nearly seventy
years and further that under the finance
act Of 1894, when Lord Rosebery was "a
member OF the then liberal gov ~r"'r'; j..
there was an exactly similar provision. A.

CATTLE-Receipts Of cattle this morning
numbered 46 cars which was larger than
one week ago and larger than two weeks
ago. The arrivals consisted of much
smaller proportion of killers than usual
of late and a much larger proportion of
stock cattle especially stock heifers shipped
In from other markets. On account Of the
smaller proportion of fat cattle the re-
ceipts In the yards seemed much smaller
than usual and everything desirable was
cleaned up in good season in the morn
ing.
The market opened with a good buying
demand for beef and as offerings OF that
kind Of cattle were very moderate the
trade was fairly active and pretty much
everything in sight changed hands in very
good season in the morning. Prices on
the desirable kinds at least were fully
steady with last weeks close.
Good killing cows were also fairly active
and steady but inferior kinds were slow.
There were more stock heifers in the
rards this morning than have been seen
here in a long time while the demand
was very conservative. In addition to
the fresh receipts there were sixteen or
eighteen cars of the same kind of cattle
carried over from last week. Under the
pressure to sell and with the slim de-
mand prices were sharply lower, at least
15G25c lower.
The supply of stock and feeders steers
was not very large and the market on
the desirable kinds did not show much
change but common stuff was slow and
