Tunotruii Chief Justice Fuller the Supreme Court of the United State* has rendered, a most important decision to holders of life insurance policies. It was a case in which the creditors of a deceased insolvent sought to subject his life insurance policies to the payment of their debts. The court refuses sanction to the proceeding, hoping that the beneficiaries are entitled the entire proceeds, without any deduction for premiums paid, on the theory that a man may insure his life for the benefit of his wife and children and such policies do not become any part of his estate. Tlijs seems reasonable and right and will be approved generally

Tu I)o«nocratlc newspapers announce that the tight for free trade is still on and that the campaign of 1892 will be fought on the same lines as that of 1888. If mo it is safe to predict with the same result. The dream of the free traders that the American people can bo con verted to their notions will never be anght else than a dream. We have uniformly prospered under protection and as uniformly failed to prosper undor free trade. The logic of events is against the preacher* of free trade.

Raii.roap building has gone right along notwithstanding politics. Up to Nov. 1st some 5790 miles of new track were laid in the United States and it is thought that 1,200 or 2,000 more will be added by the end of the year. A significant feature is the fact that the new mileage was built on 280 different lines, being extensions of or feeders to old lines. This shows that the country is being thoroughly covered with a network of railroads, reaching out and de veloping new territory. This is better than multiplying trunk lines, with which the country is already well sup plied, since these short branch roads reach into territory hitherto inaceessi ble by steam cars, bringing the farmer near his market and his wife and daugb ter within easy reach of the pleasures of civilization. Five or ten thousand miles of railroad seems a large amount to build in one country in a single year and yet it is possible to go on building that much for years to come in tho United States with manifest benefit to the people.
A look ahead.
The ProhiHtt**i*i» didn't aleot-thair man President this year, but they are extracting a good deal of comfortontof the election for all that. It was their plan to beat the Republicans but odds is the difference with the Prohibition brother. So that one of the old parties dies he care3 little which one it bo. The scheme now is to have the Democracy die and the majority of its members join the Prohibitionists. When that happens many Republicans will also go over to them, having no more before their eyes the fear ot delivering tho country into the hands of the solid south. The liquor element will be left in full control of the Republican organisation and those who oppose the saloon inilueuce will go over in a body to th© oomlng party. These sanguine predictors give the Democracy until 1892 to die and in 1896 they estimate that the Prohibitionists will sweep the oountry.

Hiram E. Bro#n, the son and daughter-in-law of Hiram L. Brown, lived an unhappy married life Mr. Brown, the husband, was a music teacher. His old father lived with the couple, and this seemed to augment their difficulties. On March 1 last, while the family were setting at supper, they were all suddenly taken ill. Tho next day Hiram L. Drown and Jesse, the youngest son of the Brown couple, died. Pbjsici~:-i concluded that there had been poisoning, and on searching the bouse a box of Rough on Rats was found. The body of Hiram L.

She was una. u. e. brows. held to bail in tho [Charged with the Murder.] stuu of 87,COO. Now, Mrs. Brown has been indicted, snd the case will come on in December.
While the people in one part of the state are about to be horrified with the details of this crime the first anniversary of a terrible tragedy in another portion, Waverly, Brenner county, is near at hand. This case involved rather more of tragedy, black treachery and degradation of people once highly respected, thau anything in recent history. By incontrovertible evidence it was proved that Col. M. E. Billings, once an honored citizen and a veteran of the war for the Union, planned to have his wife debauched by County Attorney W. S. Kingsley in order to blackmail the latter that on the failure of the plot he murdered Mr. Kingsley, and that in order to shield her husband Mrs. Billings testified to her own guilt and shame. Tet in spite of her personal evidence it was shown by a letter bhe had written that the murdered man was guiltless of wrong doing.
On Dec. 21,1887, just after dark, two pistol shots were heard in Mr. Kingsley's office, and Col. Billings rushed out declaring that the attorney had shot at him and he had killed him in self defense. But it was proved that Mr. Kingsley never carried or kept a pistol, while Col. Billings kept several and on the person of the latter were found papers he had dr- .wn up ready for the attorney to sfcn, confessing the adultery, deeding all his property to CoL Billings and guaranteeing to pay him the attorney's official salary till 1890. The bullet Col. Billings exhibited as having been fired at him, and haj tene$ against bis suspender buc,| ^sbowtf to have been hapimeredMn In short, the evidence was oo'mji spiracy to blackmail, and on th« the scheme a deliberate murderi returned a verdict of niurdlb^ in degree, which carries the penalrrl onment for life. ^i'
