The Philadelphia Nes0 Age, perhaps q
dubious authority, says that Congress is to
bo asked to put tho country into the insnr-
ance business A bill for tho liberalization
Of insurance has been prepared md is, so tho
4dge says, to be vigorously pushed. It's 1nain
provisions arc said to bo as follows: Section
l creates Bureau Of Insurance in tho
Treasury Department, under the Immediate
control Of Commissioner Of Insurance, who
is to bo appointed by the President and sc1a-
ate, got 90, 600 ycar, give bonds in SEC, 900,
and have no insurance interests Of lis own.
Sec. colnpols all insurance companies
to flo statements Of their business with the
Commissioner aud deposit $4,000 in United
States bonds with him at the beginning and
$4,000 more for eaol haf-million Of gross
assets. Sec. authorizes the Commits
sonor, when these conditions havo been per-
formed, to grant certificate which will allow
the company to 10 business anywhere in tho
Union, will rolieyo it from tho necessity Of
making any deposits with tho State authori'
tics, and will free it from all State taxation
beyond per cent per annum on premiums.
These are tho main features. It will bo soei'
that tho bill, if it became a law, would ruth
ess1y abrogat Q groRt number of State
onaotn1ents, would cut OF n good part of the
revenues of so,no States, and would forco
tho companies to withdraw n largo part o1
their funds fronl their present investments
aud put them into United States bonds. Tho
! life aud fire risks underwrtten in the United
States amount to $4,000, 100000, Or fou1
times tho National debt. Tho securities fol
these risks cover almost every sort of invest
meut The proposed bill would forco the

at great sacrilics, from these Investments

Government bonds. But has Congress the

Tho biennial report Of secretary Of State
HARLOW, concerning Tho transaction Of public
business in this Stato, shows III u very clanr
light one Of tho most important reforms
which has boon secured under tho now Con-
stitution. The report shows TINT, under tho
act concerning corporations, 1,1A3 applica-
tiong haye boon received for license 10 orgau-
izo corporations, and Of this number 855
havo fully organized, rs follows: Alanufac-
turing, 153 miscellaneous, 1a1 benevolent,
130 loan associations, 1B1; mining, 81;
printing mud publishing, %; distil1ing,
10; agriculture and driving.park asso
ciations, 1e; literary, 81; library, 81;
gas companies, 18; cemeteries, 27.
The whole number Of organizations ef-
feotcd under the Goneral Incorporation 1aw
since July /, 1872, is 900 Of all classes, and
tho whole number of railroads under the
General Railroad law is ~. Under the gen.
cral law for the incorporation of cities and
villages, 52 cities and Ill Villages hayo organ-
ICED. The cosy aud expeditions wayin which
this great volume Of public business has boon
transacted shows tho value Of tho new Consti-
tuition, which has been made the model for
nearly NIL the other States which aro amend-
| ing their Constitutions. Undor tho old Con
stitution, each itom Of this business would
haye netessitatod the passage Of q
special ohartcr for every company, iu-
volving great expenditure of trouble
and time, mud these special charters drawn up
by tho attorneys Of corporations, each differ.

into omnibus bills, and passed helter-skcl.
ter, without any knowledge as to their con-
TENTS Tho publication nlone, requiring many
bulky volumes, would have boon a SERIOUS
itcm of expense. Undortho new Constitution
these charters are classified Under genera

acter aud contents of all. BY this sin1plcit,

There is uniformity in these bills, and th|
courts and tho public con readily understand

settlement Of thia affair offers a reasonable
excuse for domanding general revision
Of tho tralo relations botweon Spa'n
md tie United statcs. As 1t is now, tho
purpose Of spnin Ii to mako 0uba pay tho
cntiro exponsoa of tho Homo Government in
two ways, viz. ): ~ by imposing excessive
taxos upon everything TINT is exported from
Cuba and everything imported by Caba; and
~ by making thcHo duties discriminating in
such why TINT Cuba is forced to buy from
Spain what it is obliged to import. In this
why what the Spanish Government fails to
exact from Cuba in tho way Of taxes it coorccs
from hor in tho way Of oxorbitant prices for
commodities TINT could be purchased much
moro chcnply iii tho United States. Thus.
while tho increaso Of our population md
tho growing tasto for sugars liave raised
onr imports Of Cuban staples 10 an
extraordinary figure, our increased resources
mud industry count for nothing. On
tho other hand, while our geographical
position, our agricultural richness, md our
ind,,strios would enable ua to supply Cuba
with meats, buttor, cheese, brcadstuifs, agri
cultural implements, and manufactures ol
many kinds, VIC aro forced to sond n1n,os
tho entiro products Of our gold mines to Ta1
tho difference against us. Wo owe it to our
selves to provide SOME protection against this
outrageous discrimination; and, If Spain has
tho power to subject insurrections Mt honl
aud In 1,er provinces, she would feel no ne
cessity for rosorting 10 30 disreputablo 4 pol

It is meet aud proper that the broad mantle
of charity should fall upon MI doubtful cases
of sin or immortality at the holy time Of
Christmas, and VIC cheerfully and gladly di~
rect specinl attention to tho article which We
hayo already reprinted from the Christian
Union (Mr. BEEcuEn's paper) concerning the
terrible Brooklyn scandal. Tho closing para-
graph of TINT article indicates very Clearly
hati was written by Mr.. BEEcHER himself;
at all events, since it is the first reference
made by tho Christian Union to AIr. T1LToS's
suit agninst Mr.. BEEonEn, it must be encceptea
fs m official definition Of Mr.. DEEonER' posi-
tion in the caso. As such, there are two or
three notable points which we aro glad tosce,
and wo Rhnll await their verihcation with
faith, hope, ard charity.
In tue first place, Mr.. BEEonER is repre-
sented as feeling it to bc "the duty nnaprivi-
1oge Of Christian mau to bear athousand at-
tacks npon his own reputation in silence
rntAer than suffer ono innocent woman to be
vilifled for his sake before the world.H b1r.
BEEoHEn claims that this was his policy be-
fore the appearance Of Mr. Throws letter to
DR.. BACON, and thereupon bases his explana-
tion md excuse for Lis continued silence and
enigmatical letters. We cannot refrnin in
| Justice from recalling TINT Mr.. BnEoHEn de-
parted from this policy somewhat iu his final
abatement before the Committee, in which,
instead Of making every effort to save the fair
famo Of tho woman whose name had beon u.s.
sociated with him, be sought MI explanation
Of certain suspicious circumstances in m in-
delicate hint that Mrs. Throws overween-
ing affection for him betrayed them into BTU
ations that might be 1nisconstrued. We are
willing to accept MIR. BEEouER's later stato-
ment in the Christian Union, however, MS an
abandonment Of this unworthy and unmanly
policy, and warrant for fair, personal TO-
! sponsibility for whatever may be proved in
the future.
We noto with pleasure, too, TINT Mr..
BEEcuEn announces that she desires and in.
tends, God willing, to meet tho whole ease
against him at once, and dispose Of it for
ever"; md that "the object of tho bill OF
particulars ia not to prevent tho plainti1 from
Introducing any evidence ho mny have y;
and, finally, that "no acqnittal is asked OF
will be accepted upon any nnrrow, or tcchni
cal, or apologetic ground" We sincerely
hope TINT NIL this shall provo to bo true. II
is the precise opposite of the construction
tint has been universally placed upon this
demand for bill Of particulars. Ever
the Nation, which has been the steadfas
friend Of Mr.. BEEoHER throughout this unfor
tuuate controversy, has spoken of this proceed

THE IOWA BIsHoPRIC.
Tho Episcopaliaus Of Iowa nrc having
linrd timo in getting Bishop. There is no
difficulty in o1ooting one, but, when elected
tlloy decline 10 servo and promptly send in
thoir doe1nations Three prominent clergy
men have already declined. First camo
E11rnALEr NorT Po1rEn, President of Union I
College, who declined before tho election
His brother, HENRY G. porrrn, Rector of |
Gracc Church, Now York, next followed suit, |
and now co,nas WILLIAM Il. HUNTINGTON, Of
Worcester Mnss., and hands III his rcsigna-
ton also. The matter Of resignation having |
become fashion in tho Church, and, having
boon set by such prominent leaders, VIC pre-
sumo it will DO followed very generally by
Episcopalian clorgymen who havo their eyes
upon q Bishopric, but not upon the Iowa
Bishopric.
It is probably the dream of every Episco-
palian clergyman that some day lie may wear
tho lawn and carry the crosier, and it is
laudable ambition and crowning glory for my
worker in the vineyard Of the Lord There
must, therefore, bo somo special reason why
the Iowa Dishoprio is go promptly declined
by every one who is elected, The reasons
which they a1lego aro perhaps true, as far aa
they 60, but they do not cover tho'wholo
case, and, from tile pEinful elaboration with
| which they are presented, show that there is
some other cause for their tleclinations which
they do not like to mention, but which is ut
the Same timo very potent and convincing.
This causo will undoubtedly be found in the
racakro compensation attached to The Office.
We understand TINT the sa1ary of the Bishop
! Of the Diocese Of Iowa is but $4,000! In tic
letter to Mr. Husr1Sa7oN, the Committee Of
the late Diocesan Convention lay great stress
upon the faot TINT the invitation expresses,
| first, the voice of God, and, secondly, tho
unanimous voice Of the Church Of Iowa, aud
they add:

PROGRESS.

There are two proud boasts, essentially,
of the Radical party. The first, that it
is the party of high moral ideas, and the
second, that it is the party OF progress.
These are its main great dependencies
for securing the support of the people.
Let us look at them and see, if like all
protcstations of that party, they are not
simply wind and fury Signifying moth
in~." As tothe tirst-high moral ideas,
well, since we are on the Ecclesiastical
track. We will continue to quote and say,
BY their fruits we shall know them.
Who are the fruits? BEAST BUTLER,
THEODORE Triton. II. w. BEECHER,
VICTORIA Woodruff and host of
lesser Credit Mobilier and other lights
too numerous to mention.
Tothc Sccond-Progrc>,. The only idea of
progress which We have been able to see,
j. the progressive idea of making II black
man rs good, if not 1.-THE better, than a
white one. IT, this they have in one
sense. taken decided step onward, for
they hay" gone considerably further than
ever was intended by the Creator. In
another sense, they have not progressed
a. far as the Ancicnts. We remember
many wears ago reading one
Of .Esops Fables, in which
was described two women trying to wash
"A blackamoor white; but twas against
nature, and the poor black took cold and
died. The ancicnts found this out, but
the progressive Radicals ofthe 18th Cen
fury have not found it out yet. The re-
suit of their idea will be that the poor
negro will die, and then the Radical
party, having nothing else to liv" on,
will die too. Let it r. I.P.
