liaeoln, Nebraska.
Ther hare been but twenty-six local
fir companies report receded at the
auditor' office, but these compa
nies organized In different part of the
state will give the people aa educa
tion that will push the work to the
front at a rapid rate. We presume
these twenty-six companies will this
year more than double the amount
written last year, which was $1,790,
90.10. At the beginning of 1892 these
twenty-six companies had 11,891.169.33.
The total amount in risk on Jan. 1, 1893
was 13,592,160.03. These companies
bar 18,507.63 on hand, with
liabilities amounting to. 1185,66.
The . total loss of all this
amount at risk is tl.225 14 which is
fully paid. The total assessment due
and unpaid on all companies is but
tll2 95, 167.50 ol this amount from one
company. '
There art several local fire compa
nies not reported, and some of them
have several hundred thousand dollars
Therefore we estimate that there Is at
least 16,000,000.00 Insurance now writ
ten in the mutual , companies in this
state. Bnt in this particular we are
far behind Iowa for their total amount
la over $100,000,000.00.
Now with the above report from
twenty-six companies In our own state
before you, it seems to me that if you
have no company In which you oan in
sure tbat every man in the
state' should say to himself first,
that he wa going to have a company,
and that soon, and then tell bis neigh
bors, and not stop at that but push to
the front, everybody put his shoulder
to the wheel and the burden of organi
sation will be light on all. But do not
allow One mm to do all the work and
then not pay him for It.
I will have this information tabulat
ed soon and printed on slips giving
name of county, name of Moratory and
postoffloe, amount at risk and amount
written last year, cash on hand, uncol
lected assessments, liabilities, income,
liabilities and losses, all totalized and
giving a good history of each company
as per report in the auditor's office.
The Nebraska Clyolone company had
on January 1st, 1234,582.00 at risk.
Coamenoed business on March 19th
last with $150,000 since which time it
has sustained no loss. Is out of debt
with $102.10 on hand. Since January
1st we have received several good ap
plications, and still the good work of
reform goes on.
In our hall company we now have
about $1,500 on hand and several prom
ises to pay soon. At this time we can
not tejl when we will make the next
and last apportionment, but it will not
' be for some time as we want to make a
full report at that time, and want to
collect every cent we can from delin
quents. We want some one in each
neighborhood to push up his delin
quent neighbors in keeping their own
word. Every member made a promise
to us as a company of individuals and
neighbors to pay 10 cents per acre for
his protection, and now he should ba
maneno'igh to make his word good
without so much sharp talk on the part
of those who have Buffered losses
through me as their agent. It is our
determination to do all In our power to
collect this money, because we are mor
ally responsible to those who have had
losses for the 10 per cent, and If we can
not get the total amount we will tell
exactly who . is to blame and why.
Hence if ftnyVnambar has not yet paid
he need not find fault with us for in
fliotinsr upon him a rather severe pun
ishment, and it will surely come, viz:
He will not get Into this year's com
pany. He will have his . name, post
office and amount he owes to over 14,
000 members situated in all' parts of the
state published, and some members in
different parts of the state say that
they will have the names of those in
their counties published in their local
papers.
I am going to give all a good warn
ing before they are punished and then
they may act accordingly.
LEGISLATURE.
The has been introduced three bills
or interest to our people. Une by Kep
resenttive Woods to amend the law
nertaininsr to incomorated mutuats.
. That such a company may pay its
agents and employes. Under the pres
ent law we cannot oav our asrests in
the hail company. Hence the necessi
ty of this change in the law. and Mr:
Wood of Rusbville is interested in
ths cliss of insurance.
Representative Van Housen, a bill to
force the stock companies to cancel a
policy when a9ked by a policy holder,
and compelling them to take an amount
equal to the proportionate time the in
surance na run, or in other words a
law eomoe ling insurance companies to
deal fairly with policy holders.
Representative Olson, a bill to
amend the law pissed two years ago so
tbat any comi-any tbat desires to may
insure detached city property. Some
companies want to make this change
wh le t then do not want to insure city
or village property. Under the present
law no mutual company can. But if
any company has a desire to insure
this class of property it will not hurt
the otber m parties, bonne l presume
we will all belp to push this bill.

and Masterful Address T
House of Common Wm
Densely Crowdd
London, Feb. 14 To-day marked an
era In the history of Great Hritain and
Ireland for. to-day William E. Glad
atone, the venerable Liberal leader,
presented to the house of commons his
measure providing for homo rule for
Ireland.
The knowledge that Mr. G'adstone
would make the crowning effort of his
wonderful career caused Intense in
terest among all classes and long be
fore noon the streets about Westmin
ster were ciowded, while the inner
lobby bt the house was packed with
members and the gallery approaches
were jammed. When the doors were
opened there was an unusual rush for
seats, members and spectators shout
ing and struggling like a mob of ex
cursionists. The veteran Caleb Wright, Liberal
member of parliament for Southwest
Lancashire, who is 83 years of age,
was unable to hold his own in the
crush, fell In the doorway and was
trampled upon until John Burns, the
labor representative, . opposed his
shoulders to the crowd while Wright
was picked up and borne away.
The crush ended at last and all who
could secured seats and waited for the
feast of Gladiitonian eloquence. Every
seat in the house except the govern
ment bench was ecu pied.
When Mr. Gladstone entered the
house at 3:30 o'clock, every Liberal and
Irish Nationalist stood, ud and srreeted
him with prolonged and enthusiastic
cheers, '. : l'
, When Mr. Gladstone arose at 3:40 p.
m., to introduce the home rule bill.
there was another demonstration so
earnest, so enthusiastic and irrepressi
ble that it was several minutes before
he could be heard. '
GLADSTONE'S BrBKCH.
JK. Gladstone spoke as follows, in a
dear, strong and resonant voice:
I mar without Impropriety remind the house
that the voices which usually pleaded the cause
of Irish self-government in Irish affairs have,
within these walls during the past seven years,
been almost entirely mute. I return, there
fore, to the tertod of 189A. when a proposition
of this kind was submitted on the part 6f the
government of to day, and I beg to remind tha
house of the position then taken by all the
promoters of these measures We said that we
bad arrived at a point In our transactions with
Ireland where the two roads parted "You
have," we said, "to choose one or the other."
One is the way of Irish autonomy according to
the conceptions I have Just referred to: the
other Is tho way of coercion. It will be the
recollection of the house, however, that that
contention was most stoutly and largely de
nied. It was said over and over anln by man)
members of the opposite side: "We are not
coercion Is w; we do not adopt that alternative,
and neither can we adopt it. Ministerial cheers
That assertion of their was undoubtedly sus
tained by the proposals, especially from the
dissentient Liberals, of various plans of deal
ing with Irish affairs. Those plans, though
they have fell entirely short In principle and
in scope of Irish self government, yet were of
no trivial or mean importance. They were far
beyond what had heretofore been usually pro
posed in the way of local self government for
Ireland.
Well, what has been the result of the
dilemma as it was then put forward on this
side of the house and repelled by the other?
Has our contention that the choice lay between
autonomy and coercion been Justified or not?
Liberal cheers.
What has become of each and all of these
important Bchemes for giving Ireland self gov
ernment in provinces, and giving her even a
central rstabllshment In Dublin with limited
powers? All vanished into thin air but tha
realty remains.
The roads were still there autonomy or
coeroion. The choice lay between them and
the choice made was to repeal autonomy and
embrace coercion. You cannot always follow
coercion in an absolute uniform method. In
1888 for the first time coeroion was imposed on
Ireland in the shape of a permanent law
added to the statute book. This statute consti
tuted an offending against the harmony and
traditions of self government. It was a violent
breach of the promise on the faith of which
union was obtained. The permanent system
of repression inflicted upon the country a
state of things which, could not continue to ex
ist. It was impossible to fering the inhabitants
of the country under coeroion into sympathy
with the coercion power
Mr. Gladstone proceeded to dilate at
length upon the circumstances under
which the act of union was passed, the
promise of equalit in the laws and of
commercial equality under which
union was effected. It was then proph
esied confidently, he said, that Irish
men would take their places in the
cabinet of the United Kingdom, but it
had been his honored destiny to sit in
cabinets with no les than sixty to
seventy statesmen, of whom only one,
Duke of Wellington, was an Irishman,
while Castlereagh was the only other
Irishman who had sat in the cabinet
since union. Pitt promised equal laws
when the union was formed, but the
broken promises made to Ireland'
were unhappily written in indelible
characters in the history of the
country. Coming to 1832, when the
resurrection of the people began, and
thence down to 188 Ireland could
present only a small minority in favor
ofiestoring to her something in the
nature of constitutional rights and
practical self government.
IRELAND'S OVERWHELMING DEMAND.
The venerable leader then continued:
it is to me astonishing that so littlo weight
is attached by many to the fact that before
1889 before 1885, Indeed Irish wishes of self
government were represented only by a small
minority. Since 1885 when the wide extension
of the franchise was protected by the sa ret
ballot. Ireland's position has been Improved
in parliament In 18W there were eighty-five
Nationalists, or more than flve.-eljhths.
Cheers They have been reduced from
elghty-tive to eighty under circumstances
somewhat peculiar (Ho.trl Hear! and I must
frankly own to myself amour others for rea
sons totally and absolutely unintelligible.
Loud cheers
Let us look at the state of the ease as it now
stands. There are but eighty out of 100 in
favor of self- overnment: thvt is to s iy, the
wishes of Ireland for Irlia self-TOvornment in

No parliament of the last fifty years has comm

laws of representation, at any rate the voUe of

people la delivering that voice, and the peace

It has beea delivered ministerial cheers and
opposition laudator aonstltute a great feet la
history.
It is said, aad I admit with truth, that Ire
land is sot a salted country. I do not deny
that the div.sloa which exists is a fact of great
moment. In truth were Ireland united, any
thing' that caa render Ireland formidable would
become much more formidable. Were Ireland
united all opposition would vanish as a
shadow. Heart Hear!
It is said by the opposition tbat the minority
tat the North of Ireland is arrayed in unalter
able opposition to' home rule., Unhipplly, at
the successful instigation of those whose plot
it was to divide the people of Ireland when
they were united at tha close of
the last century, through the medium
mainly of Orange lodges and through re
ligious animosity, there was an alteration of
feeling, but the Protestants of Ireland, during
the period of the Independent Irish parlia
ment, were themselves not only willing but
tealous and enthusiastic supporters of Irish
nationality. Inasmuch as their political life
was at that period more highly developed they
d on the Roman Catholio population
In the political movement . which dis
tinguished that period. ICheers This' is
written broadcast upon the history of the
time. Genuine national sentiment In the sense
of national unity, had at one time prevailed
among the north of Ireland Protestants. We
who have seen them alter, not through their
own fault, are not ready to be persuaded that
they will not alter back again to the sentiment
of their own ancestors, cheers and when their
own blood and their own people form one, in
noble glorious unity.
Alluding to the English feeling to
ward Irish home rule, Mr. Gladstone
said he would refrain from urging that
England would find herself exhausted
and her work made impracticable by
resistance to Irish demands. He could
well conceive England maintaining, if
so minded, resistance to Irish demands,
but England's conversion to home
rule had been rapid. In 1880 Eng
land's majority adverse to home
rule was 211. It had, now declined
to 71. In the face of such a fact who
would guarantee the permanence of
the remainder? Cheers. He would
now ask the indulgence of the house
whilst giving an account of the bilL
Cheers. He could not undertake to
supply a mere table of contents. The
bill, if he did, would probably be
wilder than his hearers. He would
rather seek to present the salient
points, hoping . to leave a living im
pression on the minds and memories
of his hearers. .
FEATURES OF THE NEW MEASURE.
The object of the bill remained as in
1886, to establish a legislative body in
Dublin for the conduct of both legisla
tion and administration in Irish as dis
tinct from imperial affairs. Cheers.
The limiting conditions which were
then observed and had since been sed
ulously and closely observed were
these:
First Imperial unity is observed and tho
quality of all is observed.
Second The equality of all the kingdoms
would be borne in mind.
Third There would be equitable reparation
of imperial cnires
Fourth Any and every practicable pro
vision for the protection of minorities would
be Included. The plan proposed ouht to be
such as to present the necessary characteris
tics of real and continued settlement -
Mr. Gladstone spoke until 6 o'clock
and was not exhausted in the least.
He finished amid great enthusiasm.
The Liberal Majority Goodly.
London, Feb. 1 4. After a long de
bate in which Mr. Gla one took a
leading part, the house f commons
approved of the Liberal address in re
ply to the queen's speech by a vote of
234 to 110 amid cheers.

Agent Boyard of tha Panama Canal
Company Testifies Under Oath.
New York, Feb. 14. The special
committee of the house of representa
tives appointed to investigate the
affairs of the Panama canal company
met here to-day . and heard Xavier
Boyard, agent for the Panama com
pany on the isthmus in 1882,
secretary for the purchasing agent
from 1883 to , 1887, purchasing
agent until 1889 and then agent for the
liquidator. During the time he was
agent he kept the books of the com
pany so far as they related to purchases
and disbursements made by him. The
account books, papers and check books
used by him were then produced.
"Did you ever use any moneys of the
Panama company for any other pur
pose than, making the -disbursements
which you were officially authorized
to make?" was the direct question
asked'by Mr. Patterson. .. -
"No, sir, never,'' replied the wit- '
ness.
Parts, Feb. 13. The Figaro says
that Charles de Lesseps has received
permission to see his father. He was
taken to La Chesnaye to-day, guarded
by detectives, and will return to prison
in the evening.
A dispatch to Figaro from Carth
age na, Columbia, declares that the
government will grant a preference to
the French proposal to finish the
Panama canal, and that the franchise
granted the Panama canal company
will be extended if it shows any signs
of renewing the work. It is doubted
whether French capital will be found
ready to support the enterprise.
The president of Colombia has al
ready received proposals from other
quarters based on the scheme of a
loan, to be guaranteed by the republic
of Colombia and by Venezuela The
parties who have been negotiating
with the object of taking the canal
property from Colombia have left Car
thagena for Bogota to-day to lay their
plans before the central government
of the republic - "
The dispatch adds that Great Britain
has not made any proposals on the
subject, but that several projects have
been submitted from the United States
for the completion of the work. An
American, Colonel Tysdell, is now in
Bogota to engage in negotiations on
the subject

. Are You Going East?
Now just take a word of advice: Let
your next trip be by the North-Western
line. Do you think it a longer
route to Chicago than the others? It is
not. It is shorter. Its equipment in
ferior? No, there's nothing better.
Track less smooth? By no means; it is
the best. Time longer, and more in
convenient leaving hours? Should say
not, but just the i contrary. If you do
not want to leave as early as 1:40 p. m.r
just try our "Business Man's Chicago
Train," leaving at 5:25 p. m., arriving
in Ch icago 9:30 next morning in six
teen hours. Anything wrong with
that time9 Go right on to Boston if
you mutt in forty-five hours from Lin
coln; New York, forty-four; Philadel-peia.forty-two;Washington,forty-three.
There's nothing better than this. Gome
and see us. A. S. Fielding,

No Real Rival Vet.
World famous Eli Perkins says:
"After people have gone over all the
routes to California once, they settle
down to the U. P. This road will al
ways be the great transcontinental line.
It has the best track, the best equip
ment, the best eating houses, and it
teaches the traveler more history and
geography than any other line. It
shows you historic Salt Lake and the
Mormons, takes you through the great
Laramie plains, the Humboldt Basin
and the Grand Canyon, over the very
stage route that Horace Greeley ana
Artemus Ward rode. '
Once on the Union Pacific it goes
everywhere. It runs to Portland and
Pueblo, Helena and the Yosemite, Ta
coma and Seattle, Los Angeles and San
Diego, and i the only route to San
Francisco. It has no real rivals yet."
