remark Both the principles and the tradi-

should admit all suitable natives OF any

The First Fifty thousand to Col.

The EQUITABLE Insurance Company has
distinguished itself by being foremost in
announcing It's determination To pay the
insurance on the life " the late Col. WALTON
DWIGHT " Binghamton. The amount of
policies which he held Of this company Is
fifty thousand dollars
The officers Of the company took very
straightforward course In investigating the
charges which had been made against Col.
DWIGHT, and the result Of the investigation
was favorable TO the accused.
After Col DwIGHrs death. DIR. FRANCIS
DELAFTELD, Of this city was employed TO
go to Binghamton and make post-lnor-
tenn examination Of the remains. Fourteen
physicians were present and they all agreed
in the following conclusion:
Neither tho medical history OF tho case nor The
autopsy gives evidence n the existence oi amy except
natural causes ot death They give evidence that a;
the when he insured he could have been con
.o,ous that his health was NOT good'
We suppose the other companies will now
follow the comncndablc example OF the
Equitable and pay up their risks, and the
heirs Of the deceased will get the quarter Of
million dollars for which he paid the pre-
miums when he lived.

recent election in South Carolina. headed
thousands and tens of thousands Of diuin-
utive ballots printed on paper hardly thicker

which had returned Republican majorities
at previous elections the ballot boxes were
found stuffed full OF these tissue paper votes.

the rest Of the Democratic ticket is between
seventy and one hundred thousand.

doubt that frauds oil great extent were COM

II is evident that the necessity for in
creased protection to the remains Of the
dead il beginning TO be- fclt In a notice
published IN Yesterdays SUN 81 the funeral
~ Mr. r. II. Powers Of Philadelphia. the
rich manufacturing chemist, recently de-
ceased. it WAS stated: a watch will be kept
ON his grave TO thwart any attempt that
may be made 10y grave robbers. Two men
will watch 10y night and two by day. the
orders Of Mrs. Powers being that their
vigil shall not cease for two years. To the
tombstone will be attached key 10 a watch
locked IN a case that the men will carry.
This watch must have the key at the grave
inserted into It every half hour, and Will Ice
inspected twice a day TO see that it has
been carried to the grave at frequent in
tervals."
Thus the watchmen themselves are to be
watched, and the watch Of the watchmcn Is
To be watched also. But what If the inspec-
tor Of the watches should prove faithoss.
At the rate provided in this case it is going
TO require at least five live men to take care
of one dead man. If things 20 on in
this way, the complaint Of inability 10 find
work ought not to continue much longer
We may expect soon TO see a new form Of
wills introduced 1t Is usual 10 prccedc
specific bcquests with IA provision some
thing like this after tho payment of my
just debts and necessary funeral expenses
70 this we may look to see the following
clause added And providing a watch over
my grave, night and day for two years"
Very likely a Grave Insurance Company
will soon appear in the field Why should
not the same man who is insured in his
life be insured TO sleep undisturbed in h-
grave?
The worst Of it would be that the disap-
pcaiance Of his remains would subject all
having an interest in the insurance 10 sus-
picions of having spirited them away.
Still, something must be done That is
plain.
