IT'S SUCCESS
Has been almost unequalled in tho history
OF iIfe Insurance. Commencing operations
IN Milwaukee less than eight years ago
without capital, it has become not only the
Target Insurance Company west of the sea-
board cities, but takes rank among the fore
most in the whole country, (only hoo of all
the Life Companies of New York having
larger number Of members, only four larger
amount at risk and only ire larger assets
while it is confessedly the largest monied i'll
stitution, Excluding railroads) in the north
west.
The losses for the year have also been
smaller ia proportion to the amount at risk
than ever before, and less than the rario of
most other companies, being only sixty per
c at. of the avearge ratio of all those reported
t. Massachusetts, last year. The total dis

CHANGE OF VENUE.

One of the most remarkable laws ever
passed by Legislature, is the recent
amendment made to our Civil Practice
Act, providing for the change of venue.
It is in these words: "When an affidavit
is made by any party to said action or
proceeding, or by his or her attorney,
that the party making the application,
and on whose behalf the affidavit is
made cannot have fair and impartial
trial in said action by reason of the bias
or pref judice of the Judge before whom
said action is then pending, such Judge
shall, and it is hereby made his duty to
Immediately order said action to be
transferred to some other county in said
Territory, outside of his Judicial Dis
trict, on payment of the costs that have
accrued in said cause in said Court up
to the time of making said application.

BY this, it will be perceived that any
party, or the attorney of any party who
Will make oath that he cannot have a
fair and impartial trial by reason of the
bias or prejudice of the Judge, eau have
his cause transferred to another county.
There is no limit to the application, and
nothing in the law, requiring the person
making it, to set forth his reasons for
believing that the Judge is preiudiced
or biased, or upon which, the Judge him.
self can exercise the least discretion, as
to the propriety of the change. The
party or his attorney is thus enabled on
any pretense, which he may magnify
into prejudice or bias, to make the
required oath, and the change is per
emptory. 1T a Judge rules against a
party as to the law governing cause,
the party who by disagreement of the
jury or otherwise obtains new trial,
has only to swear that the Judge is
biased, aud his case must be Immediately
transferred. SO if party has no de
tense, i in default for dispositions. and
has had his cause continued, until all
the rules for further delay are exhaus-
ted, the fact that the Judge rules that
he must proceed 10 trial, affords a con-
venient cause for an affidavit, that the
Judge is biased, aud the cause, of neces-
sity, is transferred. Nor is this all. An
unscrupulous party or attorney, as is
unfortunately, sometimes the case, even
in this country, may follow his cause
through all the districts. and if he is
willing to take the required oath, pre-
vent it from coming to- an issue in any
of them. There is nothing in the law to
prevent him from doing so-nothing to
punish him tor so doing, if so disposed,
for it would be impossible to prove that
he had committed perjury. How many
people are there in Montana, who if they
had bad causes, would hesitate to take
this oath, on the smallest pretense, so
that delay or ultimate defeat could be
effected by it. The only reason that can
be given for this short-sighted act, is
that it originated in some cause quite as
ridiculous as the act itself Our Legis-
lators are now considering the Civil
Practice of California. with view of
adopting it for this Territory. We will
direct their attention to some decisions
under that act, by California Judges, on
the foregoing subject. In the case of the
People VS.. Williams, gath California Re
! port, page 30, the court decides that
. Bias or Prejudice on the part of the
Judge constitute no legal incapacity to
sit on the trial of cause, nor is il suf-
fcient ground TO authorize change of
the place of trial" Again The fact
alone, that the Judge on previous tri-
al OF the same cause, made an erroneous
ruling, is no evidence of the existence of
bias or prejudice in his mind" We
would recommend to our Solons a care

ESTABLISH THE PRINCIPLE.

BY the pressure of public opinion, the
U. s. Government is repaired to define
her position on the question of protect
ing naturalized American citizens abroad
and add another doctrine to her nation
al creed. 1t is true that since the con
federation OF States, Americans never
had any idea of permitting the estab-
Iishment of fencroaching despotisms on
this Continent, but not until President
Monroe, in view of the foreign combine
tions to violate it, and accepting the sit
uation, gave it form, had we fixed, Off
cially asserted principle and purpose on
the question. That principle, swerving
from it in weakness as officials at times
have, was recognized by France as one
which the people would maintain TO the
last extremity, and to it is attributable
the fact that Mexico is not under the
shadow of the Imperial Tri-color to-
day. Again, when the question of
searching vessels was raised, and for
eigu alliances were formed to enforce
what they were pleased to term the
right of search, another article OF
American faith was agreed upon and
| successfully maintained. As circum-
stances have evolved necessities for de-
cided action, the Government, holding
aloof from the alliances of the Old
| World, has built up distinct American
policy, in harmony with republican in
stitutions, and ever as a free agent, un
trammelled by any interest in main
tanning the balance of power in Europe
and fully competent to attend to all at-
toward England, for her position toward
the United States during the rebellion,
and the sentiment demanding protection
to naturalized citizens abroad is sponta-
4 neous and universal. This, added T.
the obligation under which a Govern
ment rests, in point of principle to main
tain and protect the rights of its citi
zens wherever they may be, has brough
the issue fully before the country, in tn
press. in public meetings, in Congress
and in the Presidents Message. =
