ton Of officers and the control OF companies;
and another that the reserve to meet bablli-
ties should be estimated as not likely to earn
more than four per cent interest. since that IS
the rate established by the success of the new
Government loan.
One of the resolutions adopted by the con-
yention is likely to call forth legislative and
popular debate IL cannot be said, however,
that the superintendent have come to their
conclusion hastily. The view which they
have now adopted is, as far as 1t goes similar
TO that of reports to them at their 1871 con-
ventiop. made by the Board OF Fire Underwrl-
ters and the Chamber of Commerce OF this city.
The resolution declares that the laws which re-
qure deposits from insurance companies III each
of several States where they do business are
perniciOus. These deposits are held by each
State for the payment Of losses to It's own GU
liens. who thus are made special creditors, TO
the injury of all other claimants. Such de-
posts should only be allowed as assets, the
superintendents say, to the extent OF the Ia
biltles in the State where the deposit Is made.
If the arguments against the present system OF
State deposits are sound, the last clause OF the
resolution comedies too much. Among the bad
effects of State deposits has been the circum-
stance that the funds have generally been In
vested in the bonds OF the States making this
requisition, and by consequence there have
been some very bad investments of insurance
funds in the Southern States. This objection
applies to the working Of the system, both as
to fire and life companies. But with fire in
surance the evil is yet more pronounced be-
cause under the system the entire funds of
company may thus be sprinkled about in
small sums in forty different States, and
if great fire occurs. only the small
portion of funds set aside i'll one
State would be available to pay the loss Of
course, this is an extreme case; but 1t Is clear
that if a company is obliged to comply with
this system to any great extent, its power to
meet It's liabilities is proportiOnally weakened.
On the whole, the superintendent have done
excellent work, at their st. Paul meeting, and
not the least of it is in a resolution that pro-
yides for more complete and detailed state
ment3 about the earnings and expenditures OF
the companies under their care.

THE 1HOa4S PAINE CONTROVERSY.

There are those who might consider the
posthumous fortune of Thomas Pane to be
as ill-starred as that which darkened his life.
Goblet violated his humble sepulchre, and
carried off his bones to England. His personal
character, which in the minds of candid men
is pretty well settled, is yet made the topic of
eager controversy. We have already alluded
TO the offer made by Colonel Robert g. Inger-
soil to submit the matter of Paine's death-bed
troubles to a Court of ArbiratiOn-this offer
being occasioned by the structures of The
Nec- Fork Observer. Nothing, it appears to
us, could be less likely to be followed by any
desirable and determined result. The testi-
mony, already Of record, respecting the
sGualor and degradation Of Paines last years
is ample we meet with it in many places, and
il may be said that it is rs authentic as any
fact recorded in history. The men who saw
Paine. and who had ample opportunities OF
observing his habits, all concur in represent
ing him as dcplorably incorporate. Grant
Thorburn, whose information upon this point
is particularly full, was certainly in no sense
a preiudiced witness, but, on the other hand
he was a specially conscientious Scotchman,
and quite incapable of recording n fllsehood
The traditions at New-Rochele, where Pane
died and was buried, all confirm the stories of
his unfortunate habits of intoxication. The
story told in his diary by Stephen Grellet, the
eminent Quaker preacher is to the same pur-
port. If any question can be considered
settled, it is that OF Pane's personal habits.
The second subject of controversy is that of
Paine's ante-mortem remorse, and of "a change
in his religious feelings at or near his final
hour. Considering that for long time be-
fore his departure he was hardly ever sober
and lived almost entirely upon a mixture Of
rum and milk, perhaps too much Importance
NAV be attached to any expressions either
blasphemous or cOnyentionally penitential,
which fell from his lips. One thing is GER

LMPROEEp INSCRANcE M4NAGEMENr.

At the National Convention of State SupcrIn
tendents of Insurance, held last week at st.
Paul, a series of important resolutions was
passed They deal with the most serious prob
lens of insurance management that are now
before the public. None Of the resolutions are
autagonistic to the views which have been adj
vocated by The TRIBUNE, and some of them
are in almost literal accord with its sugges
tons. The superintendent recommend the
adoption of the plan first set forth in
TIE TRIBUNE, for saving weak life in
surance companies from the ruinOus losses
of receiverships. The Acknowledgement is
made that it is the paramount duty of the
superintendents to protect policy-holders
and preserve their rights. In view of
the enormous waste that follows upon
the appointment of a receiver, " 1t is better to
" Exhaust every method consistent with safety,
"that will avoid the dissipation of trust funds
"by such exOrbtant fees and charges" And,
finally, it il determined "that the interests of
p0licy-hOlders i'll impaired life companies may
"be best subserved by change OF management,
"and, if necessary, pro rata diminution of the
"amount insured 1t will be noticed that n
change of management is here insisted upon,
UNF, that reinstatement of the former man
ayers would not mt all accomplish the object.
And as it Is admitted that it is the State SUI
perintendent's business and duty to take care
of the polcy-holders' interests-especially on
such an Occasion-thcre is no escape from THE
TRIBUNE's conclusion, that the whole matter
of reorganizing a company, electng new trus-
tees and choosing new officers, should he con-
Quoted under the direction of the State De-
partment. Least of all should the old officers
of mismanaged company have any voice IN
the matter.
The superintendent also agree with The
TRIBUNE in a hearty approval of the law of
this State under which fire insurance compa-
MES are restrained from making false show
of assets or capital in their advertisements.
The good effect of this law in compelling the
withdrawal Of snowy legends about millions
of dollars-millions upon which the insured
have no more claim than upon the gold in the
Bank of France-was fully considered in
these columns few weeks ago, under
the heading "Big Signs Taken Down."
IL the superintendent succeed in impressing
their views on their respective Legisa-
lures, the big signs will come down
in other States, as they have here. A resolu-
ton was passed against the practice in some
life insurance companies. of giving excessive
salaries and allowances to their officers; an
other resolution recommended economy Of man
agement in more general terms; another, that
policy holders should have voice in the cleo

Additional light is thrown upon the i'm
"pcrial alliance" by the statement of the Hun
garian Premier. 1t appears to be simply an
understanding to dictate to Europe in matters
upon which the three empires have common
policy When one Of these powers proposes
to act on its own account, the others do not
intend to restrain it. With such limits the
compact loses much of its power for good or
evil.

General Garfield has easily the advantage of
Mr.. Pendleton in the discussion of financial
questions The debate of which we give
synopsis, is likely to be of excellent service in
the Ohio campaign. One after another the
specious bubbles blown by the opponents of
resumption break as they are touched by
plain argument. The notion that war prices
ought to have been kept up, after the war,
seems absurd to our ears but it was actually
urged by Mr.. Pendleton, bringing out the
natural reply that the only way to keep up the
prices would have been to keep the people at
war, instead of at work. The final reply of
Mr. Pendleton TO Mr. Garfield, admitting that
the Democratic party had changed its views
on financial questions, was virtually a confess
sion of weakness. Mr. Pondeton viii have to
make stronger points than these, before he can
win new converts to greenback or silver the
