" in the right direction. Our actors no
longer invite apoplexy by, the violence Of
their simulated passion; we can listen to
wit without being shocked by obscenity;
we no longer tolerate startling incongrui'
ties ofcostumes and properties; we require
the same decorum in orchestral stalls that
we preserve in church pewszand in this
regard We have possibly gone q step too

fully, as follows: ri.-
When say the general feeling is for
expansion, mean the numerical majority,
6r most Of the leading bankers, capital
isls, and thinking men are opposed TO the
policy Of initiating the currency. It
msy be said, In general terms, that the
debtor class are in favor OF initiation,
and as a large majority Of Western
people arc more or less In debt through
real estate or other speculatlons, they
are naturally in favor Of o policy
which, in their belief, would make money
plenty, and insure their financial saliva
lion. There have been several public
meetings held here recently to discuss the
situation, and 1t is quite apparent that q
majority are in favor Of expanding the
currency, either by the adoption of free
banking law, the issuing Of bonds conver.
lible into greenbacks, or by some other
means. Measures are being taken to en-
force these views on the consideration Of
Congress, and, unless thesituation should
materially change between now and the

A Local Sensation in Ohio Between
Catholics and Protestants.


A Local Sensation in Ohio Between
Catholics and Protestants. 3
Some days ago q Catholic Church ded
ication took place at Green Springs, Ohio
at which Bishop GILMORE, Of Cleveland
presided. Several flags were used on the
occasion and among them the stars and
stripes. But 1t seems that the latter: flag
was subordinated to the flag Of the Pope
in the demonstration, or, in other words
that it was placed sin the back ground
and lower" than the Papal flag, and this
reused the religious and political ire oil
the Green Spring population, particularly
some Of the old soldiers. An excitement
ensued at once, and to quiet it the Mayor
Of the place issued the following official
document: ...- ....., .-
To The Bishop and Priests Of Tho Roman
Catholic Church:
DEAR sms: /, Oliver 8. Bartlett, Mayor
of the village OF Green Springs, do hereby
notify you that you have placed the Amer
ican flag on the background and lower
than the other flags, which Is wrong and
creates much sensation. Please raise the
American flag as high or higher than any
other, and place the same on proper
ground, showing due respect for the flag
Of your country, or take 1t down wholly
discardiDg the same. LOO.
OLIVER 8. BARTLETT,
as Mayor Of said cillage.
On reading 1t, the Bishop gave the prop
er directions to have the position OF tht
flsg changed, and thus quieted the feeling
which had been created. 5Jl- ss,,-asr

THE LIFE INSURANCE TRANSFER
What Some Of the Policy Holders Think
About IL.

The arrangement entered into between the
Commonwealth Life Insurance Company, OF this
city, and the National Life OF America OF Philadel-
pha, does not seem to have met with a very warm
welcome from some OF the policy holders Judging
from a conversation q HERALD reporter had with
one OF them yesterday. The gentleman alluded to
happens to be one OF those who not in as good
state OF health at present as they were when
they were accepted by the Commonwealth as per-
fectly sound, and who will, therefore, alter the ex-
pration OF three years from the present date have
to trust to the Commonwealth for their policies.
He conceded that the plan on its face was o
good one; better way indeed, OF getting
the company out OF ditlcuty than II 1t
had failed entirely. But he feared that it was
ONLY A STEP TO A WIND UP OF THE COMPANY
that would In the long run prove disastrous to
those policy holders who, under the terms OF the
arrangement with the National Life, cannot get
insured by the latter for over three years. LET
me tell you why thin that the outlook Is not
pleasant Tor u.s." said he. At the end OF the three
allotted years l. for instance, have no claim upon
the National Life, and II the Commonwealth can
not settle with me on terms that think deserve
what am to dor or course, Will be told that my
policy Is good IN the Commonwealth still II will
not settle In way they deem beneficial to me.
but what guarantee have that at the end OF the
three years there will be any such thing as the
Commonwealth Company, or. at .least, company
Still bargain that saves us for three years for
certainty Is better than If were cast out alto
gether by downright failure. The only hope for
US delicate Ieows,n he added sarcasticalIy ss to
DIE WITHIN THE NEXT THREE YEARS.
True, the National Life won't like many OF us to
KICK the bucket while they are underwriting MS; (;
but the Commonwealth don't think, Will grum-
BILE n we all 90 70 the happy land Of Canaan during
the period specified In the contract for the good
and bad business TO be assumed by the National.
One corporations loss Is another's opportunity,
you kn0w.u
This rather gloomy view OF the perspective stu
alton by policy holder who knows he will not be
passed now as a sound man by the medical exam
iDers Is by no means the view OF all the policy
holders OF the Commonwealth Tor, In a conversa-
tion had with one OF them who thinks he q sound
man, the reporter learned that the transfer plan
was looked upon very favorably by
THE MAJORITY or THE STOCKHOLDERS
at least so far he had been able TO learn--and nc
was happy to say the majority were certain TO
pass the medical examiners. He did not doubt, he
said, but that the Commonwealth had done what
was best under the untoward circumstances OF the
case, and that 1t would be faithful to those policy
holders who would not, after three years, he ac-
cepted by the National. They would not, he
thought, be losers by the arrangement IN any
way even though they should cling to their original
policies and refuse TO make terms with the Com
monwealth.
