HOME INSURANCE OoMPANY.-Elsewhere
will be found the third quarterly statement Of
this Company.
Its success has been remarkable. Starting
only last April, it has already issued ,586 poll
cies, being at least. three times greater than
any company, perhaps, ever attained to before,
in such Q short time. This shows the desire of
the people of the State to encourage and sus-
tain home insurance company of ability, con-
Quoted on safe principles, and managed by
trustworthy men. Such the Home" of st.
Paul is, mcst assuredly, or 1t would never have
been SO freely patronized by the people OF Min
nesota, who are not apt to touch any institu-
ton unless they know 1t to be sound.
The books of the Home, Its rules and regula-
tons of business, It's reports and assets, have
been frequently examined during the past few
months in the NEST rigid manner by different
gentlemen from various parts of the State, and
selves pleased and satisfied with the company
and its operations. Mr.. Kendall, the able Be-
cretary Of the "Home," will be happy at any
time to have persons examine the books Of the
company.
The report referred to shows that the amount
Of cash premiums received Is ga, 215, while
the premium notes received, Is only 1856,
not much more than one-third Of the former.
The total amount of property insured Is e.
I'll 1888. During the nine months fifteen losses
have been met, and every one promptly sd-
justed. ~
No one can examine the very careful and
safe modes Of insuriug and regulations there
for, of tho Homo, without feeling confidence
In its safety and ability. It Is managed by men
with whom Insurance Is science and q busi.
ness, and who know the principles that under
lie It it, name, too, should introduce Il to
patronage. Let no more millions be sent East
to build up the fortunes Of stockholders In
companies there, but used to encourage homo
companies and enrich our own State and each
other.

CFrom the Milwaukee Negs I

A scene occurred on Wisconsin street, in
front Of our office, yesterday, which illus
traies The revolution in American insti,u-
tions since the Simon Pure "ariends OF free
dom" came into power In The broad
light of day, white man was being drag
ged through the streets to the depot OF the
Prarie du CHEN railroad. He refused TO
go voluntarily, for the reason, as he alleged,
that he enlisted for a bounty, aud the mon
ey had not been paid TO him according 10
agreement. In The struggle the victim was
throw TO the pavement. One man stood
thrusling bayoDer toward him, waile an
other held him by The coat collar. A large
crowd collected, in The midst of which the
conflict went on briskly for some minutes.
The refractory recruit was finally secured
lifted to his ieel, and bloody and handcuff-
ed, was taken away. Perhaps the officers
ia charge of the man were doing their duty
by obeying the orders of their superiors
bot no one will pretend to deny that, if The
recruit told The truth, gross wrong was
being committed on him

been subjected TO an outrage of the sorl
without a public outbreak. Had it been
attempted at that time MIR. Booth would
