UsuRANcR.-The rate Of insurance
in this city is entirely too high. 1t is in
many cases fully 10 to 20 per cent highel
than in 1850, when in fact it ought TO be
lower. With so many fire companies
conducted with 30 much excellence and
spirit, itwould be almost impossible for 9
fire to spread so far as to do much dam
age in Wilmington. And as the compa
MES are upon the mutual plan, holding
the notes of the policy holders, upon
whom they could draw to make up any
deficiency, there seems no reason at al
for The high rate charged. Some of these
companies have large surplus investments
drawing interest. 1t is useless, therefore
10 take money from their members at the
rate they are doing. These sums, it may
be said, are not large; but the same is
said of the tax upon property; and al
this time, when rents are low and hard to
collect, every charge on real estate is felt
as burden.
The Mill Creek Hundred Mutual In
surance Company is conducted on the
same principle that our city companies
are, with this difference that its mem
bers pay no premium until fire occurs,
when they are required to pay pro rata
as much as is necessary to discharge the
claim for the damage suffered. This plan
has been in operation for a long time
among the farmers, and it has worked
wen. No member who would delay to
pay up when called upon would be al
lowed to remain connected with the COM
pany. The gentleman who acts as Sec
retary and Treasurer finds pay for his
light duties in what he gets for filling uI
policies. He is every way competent
and therefore looks upon the duties p.
very easy to be performed in leisure
hours. We mention this matter as fact
that may strike many persons as rather s
novel idea. Many persons, it will bt
seen, get their property insured Ions
time for nothing. 1t is one OF the chance
that the plan affords-no fire occurring
during the membership of party, thi
would be the case. Where the compan,
is small this would frequently occur il
rural districts. In sometof our hundred
there has frequently been periods of fiv
and ten yeas when no fire at all ha
been known, or no property that was in
sured had been destroyed. s-6 4
Now, while such plan works wei
among our rural people I'VE do not pro
pose its adoption here, orthink it adyisa
BILE for those in large cities to adopt 1t
but we refer to the matter as bearing up
on the question of a reduction Of, rate
here, which we think, with many Others
are too high, iain'1 llroog4

The following is portion of the fifth
article of the platform adopted at the New
York republican convention. 1t is direct
hit at the presidents civil service reform
policy:
Iu the state of New York the whole
number of national loficeholders, including
clerks and subordinates of every degree, is
7,465.. This is one national oficeholder or
subordinate to 152 voters. OF state, county,
or town officials there are in this etate 1885,
5l3. This is one state, county, or town Off
cial to every eight and half voters. When
the potential functions of local officers are
taken into account, their nearness to the
citizen and their power over his property,
taxes and interest, their relative influence
becomes even greater than their numbers
indicate. The exclusion of public servants
from political action would disfranchise
great body of our fellow citizens. The laws
mean no such exclusion, and we deny as an
imputation upon the people of New York
that they are or have been dominated by
the nations subordinate officials, as we can
conceive of no condition of affairs short of
the extinction of manhood and patriotism
in which postmaster or clerk could subdue
to his partisan will one hundred and fifty.

ence beyond such as his character might

proved himself to be tie funnier man of the

Spotted Tail s. Co. that they would be cx.

The advice given by the president to
Spotted Tail, Red Cloud and the lesser
Sioux chiefs at the council in Washington
Friday was good in the abstract and posi-.
bly, it is deeply imbedded in the Indian
heart One thing they will be sure to re-
member and that is the promise that they
may move in the spring if they are not sat-
isfied with the locations selected for them
on the Missouri river by Gen. Hammond
superintendent of Dakota Indians. This
assurance may have been slip of the pres.
idential tongue or it may have been delib.
erately given out through ignorance regard.
ing the situation. In either event it will
make useless trouble in the spring. The
locations chosen by the superintendent for
the Spotted Tail and Red Cloud Indians at
old Ponca and Yellow Medicine are the
very best upon the entire Sioux reservation.
and no one but an Indian would think of
making complaint when so desirable a
home has been chosen. The assertion of
Gen. Crook, which seems to have weight
at headquarters. that the new locations are
barren and uninviting shows conclusively
that he knows nothing about the subject or
that he is malicious falsifier. There are
no more productive agricultural! or grazing
lands in this territory OF superior fertility
than those very spots. They combine all
tho advantages of bottom land, bench land
and table land, are we'll watcred and wooded
are covered with prolific growth of both
summer and winter grasses and are within
easy reaching distance from the govern.
mentsupply depots. If there is anything
else needed to make an Indian happy il
must be the opportunity to find fault and
lift scalps. The latter of these two diver
sions will doubtless be denied them when
they are brought within the control of the
river military. This circumstance may
have an effect upon Gen. Crook. The In
dians will be transferred from his depart
ment to the department of Dakota and Iii
vocation will be gone.
