TEAR A PAPER FAMINE. Low Water Principally to l!iuo for tl e Groat Stnrclly. CHICAGO, Nov. 25. Famine threat ens tho paper trado and butchers and bakers nro mcdltutlng the offering of r. rebnto for the return of the yellow and brown wrappings In which their wares aro delivered to their customers. Low water In the streams which sup ply tho paper mills, Is, according to Ed gnr A. Hall of tho Hanchett Ppjt company, 11 and 13 LaSalle street, tho causa of tho scarcity, which Is oeii moro alarming in Now England and the middle Atlantis states than It is In tho west. All grndes and qualities of papers, from tho most delicate tis sue In which millinery confections aro sent homo to their purchasers to tnc rough brown fiber sheets In which cor ner grocers wrap salt mackerel, have advonced in price 30 or 40 par cent within tho Inst thirty days, and deatcrs nnd Jobbers fight for the chance to buy oven at advanced rates. Tho smaller Jobbers In paper nro be ginning to dread being forced out of business becauso of tholr inability to furnish tho oupplles their customers require. Tho demand for paper, ac cording to Mr. Hall, Is unusually lirgo this autumn, nnd tho drought has re duced many of tho great mills to six and eight hours' work daily, although their contracts and tho Jobs In sight would test tholr capacity oven though they wero running twenty-four hours a day. Tho Wisconsin mills, among which tho factories at Manasha, Applctor. nnd Marinette nre tho most important m tho west, refuso to accept orders for do livery before Jnnuary 1, 1000, and come decllno to entortnln contracts calling for deliveries within four months. To the drought difficulty somo of tho Wis consin mills hnvo added tho scarcity of timber for their pulp mills. Tho famine Is likely to nffect somo of tho smaller newspapers, which de pend for their supply of sheets on tho Jobbers. Tho Now York, Boston nnd St. Louis wholesalers quoto prices on hundrcd-rcnm lotB very reluctantly, and across tho faco of their lettcro Ih stamped tho warning, "All prices and quotations aro mado subject to chnngo without notice." Carload lots, oven in tho coarser fibers and mnnllns, nro not to bo had at any price, nnd Chicago dealers who mado contracts with local packers and department storcB for Oc tober deliveries early In August arc still furnishing their patrons with dally supplies in wagon loads.

I was led to embody this thought from tho tendency manifested In ex pressions und writings of many able men In tho nation who advocate tho doctrlno of a colonial policy and n largo Btandlng army, cither of which is contrary to tho fundamental Idea of our republic. The expressed determ ination to subjugato the people of tno Philippines and treat with them after ward scemB to mo tho policy of nn cm plro rather than of a republic.

In tho caso of tho state of Nebraska against tho Gorman Savings bank of Omuha, tho supremo court holds that tho order appointing a receiver for tho defendant constituted an adjudication that tho corporation was Insolvent and no ap peal having been taken therefrom, ho order was forever afterwards conclu sive upon thnt question. This cause, or somo phase of it, has been 'three times beforo tho supreme court nnd as many opinions have been written. Tho solo question tho court was asked to dctormlno wns whether tho district court had Jurisdiction to make an order for tho salo of tho remain ing nssctB of tho bank. It was argued by tho counsel for tho bank that no such power existed until thero had been entered a decrco In tho cause ad Judging tho Insolvency of tho corpo ration and ordering tho affairs to bo wound up. The opinion closes with tho following: "In tho caso at hand tho order ap pointing McCnguo as receiver of tho German Savings bank determined that tho corporation was Insolvent, and tho question is no longer an open ono. Tho proper tlmo for the bank to havo mado that defense was beforo tho receiver was nppolntcd. It cannot do so now.

There Is nothing in tho two previous decisions heretofore cited which Is inconsistent with tho vlows heroin expressed. Tho order Is af firmed." The Shooting Not Justinrd. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 25.
