COMPULSORY INSURANCE,

Liverpool, England, July 7.-The chamber of commerce here today started movement to make insurance of storage passengers on ocean lin- CTS compulsory. A slight increase in the immigrant passage rates, it was contelded, would cover the cost of ln- surance and obviate the necessity of making appeals to the public for funds in the case of disasters.

SIMPLY PAVING THE PRICE.

Before the city council in urging the passage of the ordinance which gives the Iron Mountain privileges in inc matter of the erection of it's new depot property, MT. Eiseie, one of our we'll informed friends, made the statement that there was probability that the railroads of the country would iii d measure cease operation unless they were given helping hands by the people.
 The railroads, like any other pub lie service corporations, are entitled to only such measure of help as they merit before the people.
 A community which has informa- ton that it is being pillaged of Sl5O,- GOO a year in excessive freight rates, ought not to be asked to extend a helping hand to the corporation gull ty of the larceny.
 We are told we are discriminated against as a community; that Fort smith. Texarkana, Pine Bluff, and other cities of the state, are given freight rates much cheaper. Compar- ative figures are given. The proof is submitted to us. And we are now about to raise defense fund to pro tect our people against such discrim- ination.
 There is adverse legislation against the railroads, it is true, the situation being the natural one when correction of abuses are taken up. The rail roads of the country are under the thumb of the public demands just now, and they may wriggle and squirm. but they brought the condi- ton upon themselves.
 If our little community has been robbed of $150,000 in excessive freight tolls for the past ten years, the whole is an aggregate of one and one half million dollars-and that sum would have contributed very materially to this community in dull summer per iod.
 The railroads will not go bankrupt. We do not agree with MT. Eisele that they will pull up rails and quit, Neith- CT will they voluntarily give Hot Springs an equitable adjustment Of freight rates in comparison with oth- CT cities of Arkansas-until we have forced our way.
 This helping hand business to the railroads is all right when the help is merited by fair treatment. But just now this community is about to be asked by the Young Mems Cham Der of Commerce to help raise fund to fight through the Interstate Commerce Commission for an adjust ment of freight rates that will give the merchants, the hotel man, and the consumer of Hot Springs charge on freight over the railroads fair in comparison from St. Louis and other points as paid by other cities.

all the small men out of trade What is the
result? We find in their places great COM
panies like the Railroad or the General Iron,
who have their directors in New York or
Philadelphia, and care nothing for our
threats. We can take it out of their local
bosses; but it only means that others will
be sent in their stead. And we are making
it dangerous for ourselves. The small men
could not harm us. They had not the money
nor the power. So long as we did not squeeze
them too dry, they would stay on under our
power. But if these big companies find that
we stand between them and their profits,
they will spare no pains and no expense to
hunt us down and bring us to court"
There was hush at these ominous words,
and every face darkened as gloomy looks
were exchanged. So onnipotent and I'M
challenged had they been that the very
thought that there was possible retribution
in the background had been banished from
their minds And yet the idea struck chill
to the most reckless of them.

"that we GO easier upon the small men. On

as the little companies do. And now,

said with an effort, 4here's your check"

movement of surprise as he glanced at it.
"Guv' nor! say, Mater, look!' He gave a
gesture of impotence as his mother glanced
indifferently at the check, and turned again
to his father. @Thank you. l oughtnt to

POLITICS AND BUSINESS

POLITICIANS of the United States are
supposed to be gifted above those of
all other countries in the art of self-adver-
tisement; but it is doubtful whether any of
our politicians are more adroit in this re-
spect than certain Frenchmen. Witness,
for example, the following announcement
published in the newspapers of Paris:
GENERAL ELECTION
To the electors of the Steenth Arrondisse-
ment city of Paris:
The undersigned appreciates the fattering
desire of many of his fellow citizens that he
should represent this reimbursement in the
Chamber of Deputies. Always proud to feel
himself in accord with his fellow citizens, he is
convinced that he would represent them faith
fully, and that his nomination would be
equivalent to an election.
Fully approaching this fact, and thanking
the citizens of the Steenth ACCOMPLISHMENT for
their confidence so generously bestowed. he
begs leave, nevertheless, to announce that the
great increase in his business, as dealer in
hats, at No. 1000 Rue de Marselles. fully
occupies his time and attention. and that his
service to the public at this well known estab-
hshment will unfortunately prevent him from
accepting the responsibilities of deputy.
In short, instead of putting himself at the
head of the people. he claims the privilege of
putting his products upon their heads.

"He has sold out and left the district.

he had rather be a free crossing sweeper in

"The same company, Brother Morris"
"And who bought the ironworks of Man

Atwood which have all been givenup late?'
"They were all bought by the West Gil

Il don't see, Brother Norris said the
chairman, Nthat it matters to us who buys
them, since they can't carry them out of the

master, think it may matter very much to
us. This process has been going on now for
ten long years. We are gradually driving
