50, P''m'rn' denvunl on the part of the
public that the republican party re
store these Ill-gotten gains. Republi
can leader? calmly close their eyes to
the criticisms heard on this line and
they make no pretense whatever at
restoration.
Let the thoughtful citizen ponder
upon these things. If, after all these
exposii'-es. if, after the widespread
discussion the revelations of graft
and peculation have brought about,
the republican national committee can
escape with the stolen money known
to be In Its possession, then why mas
no tthe ric hraseals who are yet In
charge of the great Insurance com
panies make a little pretense toward
reform while they are nil the time
building up new and skillful plan
for theft and plunder on an even
larger scale?
If the man who, as chairman of
the republican national committee,
pi'tlclpated In the misappropriation
of several hundred thousand dollars
nf policyholders' money can continue
in the president's cabinet why may
not the men responsible for the scan
dals In insurance companies continue
In power In those concerns?
MIXICIPVL INSURANCE.
HI Xf OMliK BY THE CUBIC YAM).
Samuel I'ntermcyer declares that
In the pretended reorganization of the
Mutual Life Insurance company "a
few scapegoats were sacrificed, but
the men v ho were responsible for the
scandal and thievery are In power today."
The quotation Is made from Unter
meyer simply because Xntermeyer Is
a responsible and reliable man, in the
ordinary acceptance of those terms,
not by any means with any intention
of discrediting the Mutual; but only
to point the moral that cannot be
effectively drawn without a concret?
Illustration.
The references made below to the
republican party being the beneflc
lary of money Illegally taken from the
Mutual' treasury' are for the purpose
of Informing the public of facts prov.
n absolutely and undisputed, and
Illustrating the general condition, and
not with any purpose of raising a
partisan political Issue.
Granted that L'ntermeyer's state'
ments are true, the average citizen is
apt to Inquire: Hew much was ac
complished that will be of real and
lasting benefit, by the Insurance ex
pose What protection can the poli
cyholder have against frauds without
end (under new hut not less effective
methods,) this side of the same se
curity he would feel In a postal sav-
Inge bs.nk, where loss would be Im
possible and the rate unchanging so
long as the government at Washing'
ton endured?
That is Just what the public must
look o :t for In the regulation of com
mercial evils as well as In the regu
latlon of political evils. With all of
these exposes we are being treated to
a large amount of buncombe.
Is it surprising that these Influen
tlal rascals have the temerity to fur
ther impose on the people? Not In
the least. They know that the public
is long suffering and patient and they
Imagine, with good reason, too, that a
whole lot of pretense and a very little
actual reform will go a long ways to
ward 3pptai!ig public indignation
, Is' It any wonder that these Influ
. imtial rascals have the temerity to
In Its last nnd best analysis gov
ernment life Insurance simply Is an
other form of exemplifying the prin
ciple involved and recognized when
the government pays a pension to the
surviving widow or other dependent
of a man who bears arms Instead of
a spade, a hoe, or a pen. The prin
ciple Is simply that which recognizes
tr.at even- citizen engaged In a legitl
mate calling Is a "soldier of the com
mon good," In that his labor ami his
elf-sacrifices contribute directly to
he public wenl. Another phase of
be nine principle Is tha texhlhlted
the article below from the San
Francisco Star:
The plan of Mayor John P. Stud
ley, of New Haven, Conn., to have the
municipality attend to the fire Insur
ante business Is well worthy of con
slderation. The Studley plan was first
broached at a meeting of thesedb
broached at a meting of the mayors
of the state of Connecticut, and manq

selves as favoring careful Investiga

Kansas City Journal.
THE OLD TRUNDLE IJKD. '
New Haven it is estimated that the
premiums paid annually for fire Ir
surance. amount to $500,000, while
the losses are only about $125,000, the
dlfferencj. $375,000, being profit to
the Insurance compnnlef.
The gr.'at catastrophe In this city
has furnished Mayor Studley with ma
terial frm which he ca ncertalnly
strengthen his arguments. For In
stance, If the fire Insurance compa
nies can recuperate their losses, by
raising thr rates for policyholders, it
is certain that there Is money In the
business; I'.nd If the city can run the
business at a minimum cost, so as to
give Insurance at a reasonable figure,
it if time for the people to get in and
save themselves money.
One risk would certainly be done
away with the repudiation of Insur
ance and the withdrawal from tha
city and slate of the sneak-thlef com
pany. In case of catastrophe the city
cannot get away, and Its obligations
would always be made good.

Oh, the old trundle bed, where I slept
when a boy,
What panoplied knight might not
covet the joy?
The glory and peace of that slumber
of mine,
Like a long gracious rest In the bosom
divine;
The quaint, homely couch, hidden
close from the light.
Hut daintily drawn from Its hiding at
night.
Oh. a nest of delight, from the foot
to the head.
Was the queer little, dear little, old
trundle bed.
Oh, the old trundle bed where I won
dering saw
The stars through the window, und
listened with awe
To the sigh of the winds as they
tremblingly crept
Through the tree where the robins so
restlessly slept,
Where I hoard the low, murmurous
chirp of the wren.
And the katydid listlessly chirrup
again,
Through the maze of the dreams of
the old trundlo bed.
Oh, the old trundle bed! Oh, the old
trundle bed!
With Its plump little pillow nnd old
fashioned spread;
Its snowy white sheets and the blan
kets above,
Smoothed down and tucked around
with the touches of love;
The voice of my mother to lull me to
sleep
With the old fairy stories my memor
ies to keep
Still fresh as the lilies that bloom o'er
the head
Once bowed o'er my own In the old
trundle bed.

THE OTHER POINT Of VIEW.
A prominent official of the Stand
ard "11 company died a few days ago
a raise was expected In the price
of oil to cover the funeral expenses.
To the astonishment of the public the
xpected advance was not announced
nit it appears that the public has been
mkiii'-; at the wrong end of the trnns-
u.'tion. A' cut In th" price paid to
reducers of crude oil of 3 cents per
barrel in the east and 2 cents In the
west brings the same results as a
raise. The Dalies Chronicle.
It Is alleged that one case of yellow
fever has developed In the entire state
of Louisiana this year: a colored boy
at New Iberia. 125 miles from New
Orleans.

Melville Ingalls, the western rail
way magnate was induced oy
friend while spending Sunday with
him to attend service at a church, the
pastor of which Is noted for the ex
treme length of his sermons.
As the friends were leaving at the
conclusion of the service the Boston
Inn, with a touch of pride, Inquired:
"Dr. Blank Is a most eloquent min
ister, Is he not?"
"Very eloquent," was the dry re
sponse of the railroad man, "but he
has poor terminal facilities."
