Not a whit more dangerous than intelligence and whisky. ! When whisky goes t0 work on human!- | ty it makes no uicnts! distinctions what- j ever. The Uepuhlicans and Prohibitionists have placed their city ticket' in the I lield. The Democrats will hold their suggestion meetings on Tuesday aud their primaries on the Saturday fol lowing.

D«>*’t neglect to vote at the special i Senatorial election to-dav. The killing of about thirty or forty j soldiers and about ISO Indians was a bad j closing of the old year and a worse opening of the new. And whose fault j 1- it hut the Government's? It has. through its rascally agents, systematic-1 ally robbed and starved its despised nsl-; skinned wards, till, ignorant as they are, they almost regard the white man ad their natural enemy. What a grand sight for the departed patron saints i of freedom and e«|iial rights to look down u|h>u—on** hundred and lifty * savages shot dowu by l nited 'states troops, most of the slaughter being ) after there was no need for it! Our brave troops made no distinction as to —"everything went,” and Indian women with babies In their arms were shot on sight as well as the men. It was a bitter-cold day when this “battle” occurred, and afterward many Indian i babies were found besides their dead mothers still alive, after 4' hours of ex posure u* the biting weather.

Tn<- special S-uatorial election to sup ply the vacancy in the representation df the First Senatorial district, caused by the death of Senator l». J. Suirii, occurs to-day. The Deaaocrats have nomiuated Mr. Frank Stewart, of New Unmberland, as their candidate, and it is an excellent nomination in every respect. Mr. >rt:w akt is a comparatively young man, and. while possessing the vigor of a young man, he carries an old head on his shoul er>—and an ableoue. The question to be decided at the polls iu the First Senatorial district to-day is not a partisan political one. for with the overwhelming majority the lvuio erats will have in the next Legislature til., vote of the Senator fr.-m thus dis trict cannot influence the decision of political questions one way or the other, and he will not, during his term, vote for United States Senator. The only political phase of the election Is con-j tained iu the fact that it will be a good thing for the First District to have a Democratic representative, who will be able iu ff«*t the **ar of the overwhelming j Democratic majority iu the interests of , the district. That U an additional reason why business men of all parties with an eve solely to the business interests of the district should vote for Mr. Frank SrRW vuT to-day. Mr. Stkwakt is decidedly the superior of his opponent in point of ability, and few men understand the uecd* of this section more thoroughly. A' no politi- ! eal question is to be settled, we can see ; noreason why Mr. Stkwakt should not be elected by au overwhelming ma jority. Vote for him to-dav. A NEW -BOOZE." The lovely McKinley bill is working wonders, not ouly in the raising of the prices of the necessaries of life, but also tn the lowering of the price of tangle foot and the creation of an entirely new brand. line of the latest McKinley blessings to come to light since the enactment of the new tariff bill is the cheap substi tute for whiskey which it provides. Mr. McKinley’s national platform called for free whiskey: but, at the last mo ment. when his bill was iu course of preparation he consented to "pander to the moral sentiment" by omitting that feature. He offered, however, a substitute for It, hidden away in one of the Interna! revenue sections. As every j one knows, the tax of ninety cents a gallon on whiskey and domestic brandy is what keeps the price of those drinks at ten cents a glass. Mr. McKinley has repealed the tax on domestic grape brandy in cases where about four parts j of domestic wines are mixed with it. The mixture will possess about the alco holic strength of whiskey and water.; though the new decoction will doubtless excel it in Intoxicating effects. It can be sold for rive vents a glass, the size of the ordinary Deer snug, the McKinley doctrine of cheapness evidently not ap plying to intoxicating drink*. The Harrison administration evident ly expect- that the boon it has given thecountry in thi- new intoxicant will be popular, for Secretary Wisdom sav iu his report: A further reduction in revenue' of $450, UuO may be expected under the operations of those provisions of the act of October 1, 1VM, which authorize the fortification of •vines with grape brandv. free of tax. It is estimated that about 2,500,1100 gallons of w:ne will be fortified, and that about one fifth of their bulk will be required in grape brandy - sav 500.000 gallons will be used in the process, tax on which is $450,000. The new intoxicant has not been named yet, but it is suggested that it be called “mckinley,” or “cheap aud nasty.” or any other name that will re mind us of the nation's benefactors uow in control of its affairs. KIRK INSl RAM'S PROFITS. Like Snakes in Ireland. There Are None Now. But They l»ed to Be Large. Hartford Pot'. We have it on the authority of a Hartford expert that there is to-day not a single tire insurance company iu the country earning .my money out of its biisiuc's. This i- rather an astonish ing assertion, but the assertion is made that it is based on facts. If it were not for the surplus, consisting of invested fundsvthere is not a company in Amer ica that could probably pay its stock holders a dollar to-day. Ten years ago it was considered per fectly legitimate to make a profit of from 2.7 to 30 per cent, on the whole business. To-day the most successful companies are doing business on 10 to 12 per cent., and taking luto account the contingencies none is making money. Since ls7s, ■*«»•. insurance couipauies have failed, gone out of business or re insured their risks iu other companies. This is au appalling record for only twelve years. To be sure, some of these were houorable retirements from a busi ness iu which they saw no money, and the several companies paid back hand somely: but inauy were bad failures. Nor were they potty corporations either. The fact of the matter is, the day for large profits iu the insurance business has gone by. Competition is so great that existing companies must content themselves with a very small margin of profit. The present state of affairs is that lae profits being made are not large enough, considering the contingencies of the business, to add to the surplus. Last year every company doiug business ou tbe 1'aeific Coast lost money through the five unprecedented conflagrations that occurred there. Hartford has a vital interest 'u the outlook. Manifestly these great losses cannot be prevented, and apparently theeontingeney can be met only by cut ting down expenses. It is a fact worth uoling that the difference in the ex pense account of some of our big Hart ford companies and certain of their New York rival' amounts to a very handsome sum yearly. Of course all this competition Inures to the pecuniary advantage, within cer tain limits, to thi‘ insured, giving him much more favorable terms than were conceded when insurance was young: : but, in tbe preseut article, the matter is i viewed from the standpoint of the in- | surance and not of the insured. W'hat iias been said of insurance is ' also true of nearly every other legiti- j mate undertaking. Old established mercantile houses that did a business of si.ooo.non a year ten year? ago now find tin y have to do double that to make a like amount of money. The ?aiue is true of every kind of t*c- j cu pa lion outside the realm of specula tion. Four or 5 per cent, must satisfy i investors, who a decade ago thought nothing ?hort of 7 p*r cent, worth hav ing. Even Western farm mortgages, except in the far West, have felt this leveling influence, and the 10 per cent, loan? of yesterday are being rapidly re placed to-day by those of 0 per cent. Much as investors may regret it, rates in this country an* coining down to the English basis with its paltry 4 and :» per cent., and there seems to be no help for it. The C'lou»ti>n Cam. Fuirmont hui*x. The case of the Stale against Ward Clouston in Wood county has ended very much as every one supposed who under stood the tremendous efforts that have been made to prevent au exposure of the facts connected with that matter. Judge Bore man has decided that the ludictmeuts against hint could not be tried for fariou- informalities and quashed them on Tuesday. No one will question Judge ltorvmau s integ rity in the matter, but it i> to be regretted that the law is inadequate to enable the State to put a man on trial for such offenses and at least bring out the facts connected therewith, espe cially so since it is understood that Clouston has been very independ ent about the matter, and in sinuated that if he were pun ished others equally guilty would not escape investigation. The people | of the whole State are Interested in a recital of douston’s misdeeds as the 1 State Treasury has had to pay dearly for his wrong doing. Clouston was deputy Circuit Clerk for O. M. Clem meiis. Clerk of :he Circuit Court of Wood county, and by means of fraudu lent certificates in criminal eases col-i lected from the State sums ranging in the aggregate from *?0,000 to *30,000. His peculations were *us[**cted by tin* auditor, as witnesses’ attendance bill' with enormous fees for mileage assigned ; to Clouston continued to come in regu- | lariy after each term of court from cer tain felony cases which the auditor sup pled must have long slnee been dis posed of. Acting upon hi- suspicions the auditor wrote the Prosecuting At torney of the county about the matter and received a reply from him that “it was all right." This quieted hi' sus picious for a time, but theTdll* came In again and again, and finally a compari son was made in the Auditor's office of the various assignments of the witnesses on the back of the fee bills, aud un doubted forgeries were detected. 1 bt Judge of the Court was then advised of the discovery, and through him it was ascertained that the cases had long been dismissed or otherwise disposed of, and the certificates were fraudulent through out. An investigation followed in tbn clerk's office and much rascality was discovered. A determined effort seemed to he made to hush the matter up. Clern mens, the Clerk, pos.-d as an inuo cent and much abused personage, ami was re-elected to the office with a cloud of gross rascality or shameful neg.ee t of duty hanging over him.

A PULPlfsHJSATIOX. K«v. A. C. White. Sou of Ur. C. C. White. Personates MilesStantli.il. Amkski rv, M \ss., January 1.—Rev. A. C. White, the popular pastor of the I'nlversaiist church and son of l)r. C. C. White, of Columbus, O., has caused a profound sensation here by impersonat ing Miles Siandish in the comic opera lTlscilla, composed by Messrs. Henry I). Codidge and Thomas Turette. The opera was produced with a cast drawn from local talent. When it became known that Mr. White was to figure as the hero in the play, there was a little opposition on the part of the other ac tors, but it passed away after a few re hearsals. The preacher entered iuto the sport with as much get as any of the others, and they quickly ..iw that lie possessed amateur ability of rare quality. When the night for tin' performance came a well-filled house was present to welcome tiie minister Iwhind the footlights. The audience was divided as to condemna tion and admiration. The minister’s acting was looked upon as superb and his voice was captivating. He made a splendid Miles Siandish ami carried the house by storm by his meritorious work. 11- was ealied before the curtain and ap plauded to the echo. Since that night the gossips of all de nominations have pounced upon the parson’s escapade as proper prey and have talked about him with spiteful persistency. The I'niversalists stand by their pastor through thick and thiu. Mr. White preached his last sermon as pastor of the church Sunday. He in tend. spending the winter in Tampa. Fla., where he has an orange grove, and it is hinted that his next venture will be on the stage ratln r than in the pulpit. DIED. "LEWIS \V> .lu-.Juy, l*ec-inbcr 3l»t lsi». Tuo».» K .
