'Treasurer John J. Furlong In famous Tipperary, Ireland, Treasurer John J. Furlong first saw the light in 1849. When five years old he was brought to America, and Minnesota has claimed him as a 1857. He grew up and was educated in this state and has.

always followed the business of a farmer. Three miles from Austin, Mower county, Mr. Furlong has one of the finest farms in the state. He is deeply interested in forestry and on his place has groves that'people go miles to see. Furlong's farming operations extend to the raising of blooded live stock as well as the raising of grain, and he has attained eminent success in his chosen' calling.

For years he was president of the Mower Cciunty Agricultural Society, and is at present a director of the state agricultural society, superintending the dairy department. As. president and executive officer of a farmer's insurance company, he has by his dealings won the confidence of all with whom he has had dealings. In politics a Democrat, yet by his character and attainments Mr. Furlong has thrice succeded in being elected to the state legislature from a Republican district.

In the legislature he was recognized as a leader. Since being appointed a member of the state board of world's fair commissioners. he has been elected treasurer of the board and has given generously of his time in attending to the business of the board. Selected to organize the cattle exhibit of the state, he traveled from one end to the other, and in the show ring Minnesota cattle proved the accuracy of his judgment by carrying off numerous premiums. Mr.

Furlong is a worker, always busy, but is a companionable, obliging gentleman, numbering his friends by thousands. Plain and unassuming, he is seen at his best in his own home, which is presided over by a cheerful wife, and resounds with the laughter and noise of several handsome Paul Globe. Accident Insurance. Articles of incorporation have been filed with the Secretary of State for the organization of the Farmer's and Merchant's Mutual Accident Insurance Company, of Austin, to furnish accident insurance at actual cost. The company has received its authority to commence business and reports two hundred applications 'as its first week's business.

This is a splendid beginning and gives promise of one of the strongest companies of its kind in the northwest. The incorporators are A. W. Wright, Gedfrge Baird, J. Weisel, John Frank, J.

W. Scott, O. W. Gibson, L. French, J.

J. Corneveaux, J. D. Sheedy. The officers are: President, Hon.

John Frank Treasurer, J. W. Scott Secretary J. D. Sheedy Attorney, L.

French Medical Director, Dr. O. W. Gibson General Manager, J. J.

Corneveaux Our readers will see at once that the management of the company is exceptionally strong. No one should take the risk of accidents without carrying some insurance. Farmers, laboring men, merchants, all classes are liable to them. The investment of a few dollars may bring sorely needed financial aid in case one is laid aside from work by some mishap. Send to the officers of the company for full particulars.

THE NEED RESULT OF INCREASED EXPENSES AND DECREASED REVENUES. Anomalous Position of the Contending the Trntb Often Lies Between Great Question That Was Settled Without a Compromise. WASHINGTON, D. Oct. The greatest difficulty in the way of a compromise in the senate last week was the opposition of many Democrats to the issuance of more bonds, but the stress of events was powerful enough in the end to break down this opposition.

Those Democratic-senators who stood out against the bond issue for some time did so because of their animosity to national banks. They represent constituencies which believe the national banking system is monopolistic, wrong and cruel. Of late years the national banks have had much difficulty in securing government bonds at a low enough rate for the purpose of making deposits as a basis of increased circulation, and pressure for a new bond issue has therefore come from the national banks. Anew issue would afford them the means of increasing their circulation. Bight here has come in one of the peculiarities of statesmanship when applied to financiering.

The same senators who have opposed bonds as an increase of the national debt have demanded more money and an increase of the circulating medium. Though a bond issue would be sure to result in this very thing, they have opposed bonds because of their fear that an issue of new securities would, play into the hands of the national banks. Out of a severe contest: like this the truth usually shines in the' end, and the truth at this time, as every one sees, is that an issue of bonds is not only a necessity, but highly desirable, and that while it may help the national banks, which some people do not like, it will also afford some relief to the country as well as protection to the treasury. The Treasury Must Have Help. Up to the last minute during the progress of the great fight in the senate many men persisted in overlooking the truth of the situation.

The truth has been that an issue of bonds was an absolute necessity to protect the treasury and the gold reserve, no matter what was done with the Voorhees bill in the senate. For two or three years the revenues of the government have been gradually decreasing, while there has been no diminution of the expenditures. In fact, the government has been gradually approaching bankruptcy and for a year and a half nothing but smart management and the use of every scrap of money has enabled the treasury to tide over emergencies. The gold reserve has frequently fallen much below the traditional limit of $100,000,000, and available funds for meeting the appropriations of congress have been hard to find, so much so that the secretary of the treasury has been compelled to forego expenditures in the way of, public buildings and other matters which had been ordered by congress. Too Many Politicians.

With the receipts falling below the expenditures a crisis has been gradually approaching, and if men had been able to clear their eyes from the fog and mist of prejudice concerning banks, silver, gold and those things about which statesmen so well love to contend, the truth would have been seen much earlier, and possibly some action might have been taken long before this. But of course politics had to have its part in the programme. It is.almost impossible to do anything in congress without an effort to seoure either personal or party advantage. If the Republicans had been smart, they would' have perceived that their greatest strength lay in some such compromise as that which has been agreed upon, securing the friendship of the silver states by continuing the purchase of white metal, and, while the Democrats were responsible for congress and the executive, putting, through the scheme to issue more bonds and increase the national.debt. The Democrats, on the other hand, should have perceived long ago that good politics on their part lay not in a demand for unconditional repeal, but in charging upon the Republicans, who enacted the McKinley-law, that through the operations of new tariff the government was being driven into bankruptcy, and it was the.

duty of the Democratic party to face the necessity this produced and provide bonds for protection of the treasury and of the gold reserve. Compromise Often a Good Thins. In Washington it is extremely difficult to look at any question, legislative or other, without taking politics into.consideration. And one may easily imagine, even in Washington, that the people care much less about politics than they do about good, wholesome financiering which will protect the interests of the country and the treasury. The truth is often found to lie between two extremes, and such has proved to be the case in this instance.

In the result of the great fight in the senate we have another illustration of the principle that all civilization and nearly all great movements are produced by some sort of compromise between contending forces and influences. Though a large proportion of the people of the country, stirred up by the vociferousness and insistency of the politicians on one side or the other, had naturally come to believe that either unconditional repeal was absolutely necessary to the prosperity of the country or that free coinage was also necessary, doubtless many of these people will be much better satisfied with: the result than they had ever expected to be. Now that the politicians, demagogues and ambitious presidential aspirants have concluded their maneuvers the.people can well afford to settle down into the conviction that perhaps, after all, the best and wisest thing has been done. One Question That Was Not Compromised. Of course there are exceptions to all rules.

It does not always happen that compromise results when great forces meet and clash. We had a striking illustration of this in a remark which was made in the press gallery when Senator Blackburn was making his now celebrated speech in which he charged that last summer's panic was deliberately produced by the bankers. Mr. Blackburn made along argument to show that everything of importance in legislation and government is usually the result of compromise. He cited instances from the history of our own government created ft very strong impression.

None of the senators opposed to compromise appeared to be ready with a fitting reply, but an occupant of the press gallery, a who had fought on the losing side in the rebellion, offered a bit of comment which was good enough to have been offered on the floor of the senate. "There was one great question," he "which was not settled by a compromise, and when it was settled it was settled for time and eternity. That was the question American slavery." mm THE WEEK'S NEWS.
