of insolvency among the lifeinsuranco companies OF
the country has involved less than one-sxieth part
of the business. While the aggregate market yaiue
of the salabe real estate of the country has actually
fallen full 40 per cent the value of the investments
of these companies most of which are secured upon
real estate IN some FORM has increased, and the en-
tire amount Of losses which they have suffered Dy
the depression isa small and insignificant percentage
of what they have in hand.
This fact deserves especial attention inasnuch as
the failure, partial and technical failure, OF the
Continental Life" of New-York has given the pub
lie very different impression 1t has been hastily
reported that this company failed because of its
losses mortgage Investments caused by the fall In
real estate; and that the same cause has largely
impaired the securities of other similar companies.
Neither assertion is true. The company in question
failed by the grOssest mismanagement, and could
have stood if there had been no fall in real es-
tate whatever It's losses by failing mortgages have
been Insignificant and even these have been, IL
current report is true, such ought to have been
avoided by them and have been avoided by other
companies.
The whole secret is this: the life companies have
loaned their money ON land and houses at from 80
to so per cent Of their value. The largest compa-
nies have never habitually loaned than 40 per
cent of low cash valuation. They loan only on inn
proved property, where actual rental is ample Sc
curity for taxes and interest. Thus even the most
terrible depreciation in real estate, even panic
which should destroy half its value, would leave
their interest unharmed. No such violent fiuctua-
tions have ever been known in this country In the
value of land and houses as could seriously impair
the security of these investments.
The country is doubtless now approaching, or has
reached, the end of the most trying period in its
o,oIA A oln hno
skies brighten there will be gradual recovery Of
every branch of industry and commerce. But the
first to rise and the surest to advance viii be those
which have best endured the strain The fact that
tho life insurance companies have suffered least Of
all the great interests of the country cannot but
direct attention TO the secret of their extraordinary
security. If this is not mistaken view, the conf
dence of the public, of trustees, investors, and
courts in real estate mortgage investments is sure to
be greatly strengthened and extended by the ex-
perience of recent years in this country.

TIoNs THAT MAY PREVENT THEM FROM CASING
THEn VOTE.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. St seems to be conceded
that tomorrow will bring affairs to focus here
The dual House has been in session since Thursday
at o'clock The Joint assembly TO count the vote
for Governor cannot be delayed longer than to-or-
row at o'clock. 1t cannot of course be conducted
in the presence of the two bodies now sharing the
hall of the House. The Senate has only recognized
the Mackey House and cannot act with any
other. 1t is -sserted tonight that Speaker
MaCkey will attempt to clear the hall with MS
sergeant-at-arms at H. If he fails he must ask
the Governor, who may appoint State cOnstables 20
assist the Speaker These will probably be resisted
and then would come call on Gen. Ruger.
The Supreme Court late yesterday p. m. issued
rules in the nature of quo warranto, against the
electors declared to ne elected by the Board OF state
Canvassers, to answer by what right they presume
to act as electors. The rule is returnable at
o'clock on Tuesday. BY the statute the electors
must meet and organize at o'clock on that day. II
they fail to respond to the Supreme Court they will
be arrested by the Sheriff. and prevented
from meeting by imprisonment for contempt. II
they obey the return they acknowledge the jnrsdlc-
ton of the Supreme Court, and will be enoned from
acting ON Wednesday as an Electoral College. This
would prevent any vote from South Carolina, which
would be just the same if they cast for Ill
den.
Attorney-General Taft is expected here tomorrow.
Judge Bond has not decided the habeas corpus cases
of the Board of State Canvassers.
