Eleven years ago four young men
in this city, all promising young busi-
ness men, formed club for the pur-
pose of passing their evenings in con-
vivialty. They had their hot suppers
with champagne and brandy accom-
paniments nightly, and as the years
passed. their drinking habits increas-
ed so fast that the usual evening spree
was very often extended into weeks of
debauchery. Since the organization
OF the club Two of its members have

ums in Chicago, and the remaining

tits well TO get oil the good We cans out.
Of our misfortunes; and the depression OF
business during recent years has certainly
been school in which hard but useful
lessons have been taught. An example Of
this will be found in some curious figures
laid before the recent Underwriters con-
vention" at Chicago, with regard to the
cost OF Insurance.
In former years, the business Of insur-
ing property was considered SO hazardous
that capital demanded enormous returns
for engaging in 1t, and rates were kept up,
80 that on the general average Of many
years, the losses paid by tie companies
amounted to little more than forty per
cent Of the premiums; and company was
thought unfortunate or rash which paid
out half It's receipts for fire losses. OF
coursc this was equivalent to charging the
people two and half times the actual. net
cost Of insurance. When man paid a
dollar 10 cover the real risk OF fire, he paid
II dollar and half more for expenses OF
management and tho profits Of capital.
This was cheeriully endured while every
body felt rich; but 1t could not last. The
reaction is shown by the figures in ques-
ton, from which we quote the following
tables, the first showing the rate at which
the same risks were taken in each OF the

The New Orleans papers record some
little revival Of business, consequent upon
the decline Of the pestilence. The Times,
with reference TO the movement in bread
stulfs, says: "a steady movement has
taken place, which not only prevents any
accumulation Of stock during the current
month, butactually reduces'the supply. In
common with men engaged in other lines
OF trade, flour receivers have patiently
waited for on abatement Of the fever, be-
lleving that a re-opening Of communion
tons with the country would at once inau-
yurate the usual fall trade, when the bare
supplies in the country would necessitate u
more than ordinarily active demand that
would call for all the stocks here, as well as
the large shipments about to arrive. Such
is the condition to-day. A wave OF cold
weather is now sweeping over the South,
The fever in tho city is declining, and the
hitherto rigid guarantees in the country

Acase tried flew days ago before Judge
Van Brunt, has received less attention
than 1t deserves. 1t was o suit brought
against the Erening Pot by a iusticeo Of the
peace for alleged injury done to his charac-
ter by the publication Of IN Associated
Press report, which gave his name as that
Of one OF several criminals that had been
arraigned before him. This wasso obvious
ly a blunder resulting from mere careless
ness that no acquaintance Of the complain
ant could have been misled by it. The
Etening Post published a prompt and con:
spieuous correction Of the error, and had
the plaintiff been reasonable man the
subject would have been dropped as soon
as justice was done him by the correction.
But, by the instigation OF some bad adviser,
he was foolish enough TO bring suit Tor
libel. Invicw Of theresult his folly cannot
be much regretted. Ii has led l.tot a
judicial exposition Of the law Of libel.
which ought to clear away the Ignorance
in which this subject is enveloped in the
popular mind. The substance. OF Judge

is no malice in the publication and no
actual injury the plaintiff is only entitled
t0nominal damages. In the case described
Judge VaniBrunt directed the jury to find
verdict for the plaintiff and to award
him six cents This decision should have
considerable influence in preventing frivo'
lous libel suits against newspapers. It's
principle Is that II there is no malice there
Is no ground for what are called exem'
plary damages, or damages in the nature
Of penalty, and that the actual injury
done to the complainant is the proper
measure OF other damages. The award o.
six cents is so Notifying result Of .
libel suit that litigious persons will not be
encouraged to bring frivolous suits when
they come to understand the true state o.
the law.-NeW York Herald.

fallen to one-third or one-fourth OF what
they were, and the profits OF stockholders
have been destroyed, being now less than
four per cent interest on their capital, the
premiums still amount to.more than fifty
per cent above the losses, and the expenses
Of management have been reduced only
from Il per cent to 65 per cent OF the
losses paid. The natural inference Of the
public will DO that the reduction Of rates
has been necessary and proper result OF
the hard times, and that while the stock
holders arc losing money, their remedy
lies, not in putting up the rates again. to
IN extravagant height but in reducing
the expenses OF management. Insurance
is nothing but averaging and distributing
losses; and when It involves an actual con-
sumption, by the nero machinery, OF more
than the losses II distributes, tho question
becomes serious one whether It is, on the
whole, a benefit to the community.
