Talk and investigation conse
quent upon the unveiling ot
handsome bronze statue of Dan
iel Webster, in Washington, has
brought out the very interesting
fact that Mr. Webster, who was
for a long time one of the lead
ing practitioners before the U
. supreme court, never was
formally udmitted to piactlo be
fore that Court. In view of the
strictness of that Court, it is dif
ficult to understand the omission
of this form in Mr. ""Webster's
case. The only theory advanced
to account lor it Js that Mr. Web
ster was so well known that it
never occured either to him or
members of the Court, that ho
required to be formally admitted
to practice,
The proposed purchase by the
goverment of the submarine tor
pedo boat Holland, received a de
cided set back when the Naval
Bond of Construction decided by
a vote of 4 to 1, against recotn
mending the purchase. This de
cision was made on the ground
that such vessels are in the ex
perimental stage, and that their
usefulness lor war purposes nad
not been demonstrated. The de
partment is not opposed to the
idea of submarine boats, as it is
now having one built at the
Columbia Iron Works, of Balti
more.
Representatives Roberts, of
Mass., has introduced a bill ap
propriating $50,000 for the erec
tion of a statue of the lat Gen
Lawton, in Washington. In
view of the ninety odcP thousand
dollars, contributed by the peo
ple country, for the widow and
children of Gen. Lawton, it would
seem that Congress would do a
popular thing to pass this bill.

said to have started with Sena

speech, in which he expressed
the belief that nine-tenths of the

sympathy with the Boers. Then
came Senator Allen's resolution,
asking for information as to, why
the State Department declined to
recognize a properly accredited

the Senate after it was amended,

After careful inquiry among tho

a largo majority of Policy Holders
in favor of separating tho counties,

cause a man happens to be

of course, prevent his having the
same sympathies as other men,
but many question tho good
taste oi tneir participating m a
public demonstration against a
nation with which this country
is on the most friendly terms
In veiw of the fact that the
Committee was unanimous in its
verdict against the right of
Roberts to sit in the House, al
though differing as to whether
his seat should merely be de
clared vacant, as advocated by
the majority report, or whether
be should be seated and ex
pelled as advocated by the min
ority, it seems a .little odd for
the House to devote three days
to discussing ; the matter, but
that is exactly what will be done
this week., They say that the
discussion is necessary, not on
account of Roberts, who is bound
to go, anyway, by practically a
unanimous vote- of the House,
but because of the importance of
the Question involved the right
of the House to shut out a mem
ber, even when be presents

proper. 4 ,
The regular pension appropri
ation bill never fails to bring out
some lively talk in the House,
and the present bill just passed
by the House, was no exception
to tne rule, mere was -some
very plain talk about the methods
of the pension sharks, just be
fore the amendment was adopted
giving the Commissioner of Pen
sions authority to refuse to pay
the fee of a pension attorney
when he knows that the attorney
fails to perform his full duty to
claimants. Representatives Kay,
of New York, and Mason, of Pa ,
asserted that it was a practice
of the pension sharks to file a
case and then leave it for the
Congressman of the cliiment to
look after, knowing that the fee

Farm Insuhance.
The business farmer will carry
insurance on his buildings, but be
will not carry it in the old line com
pames. hie win insure in a larm
mutual, if there is one into which he
can get, aud if there is none, he will
organize one. Farm insurance
the safest risk tnat a company can
carry. It is true that if a farm
building trots on fire it will burn
down; aud it is equally true that, in
ninety-nine cases ia one hundred,
a town or city building' gets on fire
t will bum dorvn, and considerable
other property will be destroyed r.
tne same time. Tne very best cti
denoo that this line of insurance is
safo uud remunerative is the fact
that the farm rnutuals have; no
trouble in maintaining themselves.
because their losses arc few. But
tne ola companies regara farm! in
suranco as extra hazardous and lex
act extortionate premiums, ' prcm
iums that arc out of all proportion to
tne risK. '
The farm mutuals have proved
safe and satisfactory. It easts !bul
a trifle to manage them. There iart
no high salaried officials, no large,
extravagantly costly building;
erect and no army of solicitors draw
ing a neavy per cent, for securing
business. Tbecompaniesare neigh
borly affairs, and are conducted
with economy and with just as good
business judgment as any old line
company that is paying its presi
dent $25,000 a year. Most ot the
Western States, if not all, have leg
islated in regard to the mntuals, and
havo made organization easy and
