Attorney General Schoonmaker, of New
York, has made decision limiting the scope
of accident assurances. He returns the GER
tifcate of incorporation and charter OF pro-
posed accident insurance company without
approval, on the ground that the objects of the
company are beyond the scope of the statute
authorizing such corporations. The company
proposed to make assurances upon plate
glass against accidental breakage; upon
boilers and buildings in which they are con
tanned against explosion; upon personal
property against loss by burglary or theft, and
upon all kinds OF property against loss or
damage by reason of tornadoes, hail-storms,
lightning, or other acts of the elements, ex-
cept perils and risks included within the de-
partments Of fire, marine, aud life insurance.
and also, 10 leave no point uncovered, against
loss, damage q liability arising from any IN
known or contingent event whatsoever, which
may be the subject Of legal insurance. This
universal insurance business is decided to be
wholly unauthorized by the statute.

by one of the New York papers that while

as cause Of bankruptcy, hardly any OF the

By common consent, Massachusetts, has

By common consent, Massachusetts has
always stood as one of the best and most Geo.
nomically governed states in the country. Yet
General Butler, in his arraigning letter of &C
ceptance, makes out very strong case against
the manner in which her affairs have been az
ministered in late years. His comparisons are
ii is true, all drawn between the years 1859 and
ls7,-coyeriDg the four years of the rebellion,
during and in consequence of which public as
well as private expenditures of all kinds were
of course largely increased; but. making due
allowance for everything properly chargabe
to this cause and there still remain many and
ample reasons for dissatisfaction and discon-
tent. He shows, for example, that with i,753
state militia men in camp in 1859, the military
expenses oil the state were 81, OBS whereas in
1877 they amounted to So, 27i with only $3.50
men, or decrease in effective force of 3 per
cent. and an increase in the cost of maintain
ing it OF 1i2 per cent. The expenses of the
Judiciary have grown from sl07.7S9 in 1853 to
S}l6,Sl6 in 1877, or an increase of 19i per cent;
while during the same period the cost of main
aiming the executive department proper that
is the governor and executive council, has
more than doubled. General Butler also cites
as an instance OF the abuses perpetrated by
commissions" which have of late become so
common in state and city governments, that
OF one appointed by the Governor to dispose
OF some lands belonging to tribe of Indians
located in that state, in which the expenses of
sale, etc, amounted to $17,2G 9O-afterward
reduced to sl5,655 90,-whiie the property sod
produced all told only s. ,052 70,
AS matter of course, there can be only one
result from this sort of thing,-a large increase
In the state debt, with corresponding growth
IN the burden OF annual taxes. General But
Ter shows that, exclusive of the war debt pro-
per, which fOots up nearly sll, 900. coo, the pub
lie debt of the state has swollen from 81, 100000
on the LIST of January, 1850, to so 33553 900 in
1877, being an increase of 2l9 per cent, while
the population of the state has only increased
In the same period little more than 81 Der
cent.
In view of these startling figures it would
not be surprising if the people of Massachu-
setts were ready for change in the manage
ment OF state affairs, quite aside from all ques-
lions affecting national politics. Whether
they are ready TO trust to the hands of Gene
raj Butler the work of reform and purifca-
tlOn, remains to be seen; but IL any one sup
poses that that gentleman Is not formidable
candidate, such person Will be very likely to
lind him or herself very much surprised when
the returns of the November election come in.
1t must not be forgotten that there are great
many men in both political parties who are
tired of the way In which public affairs are
managed, no matter who is in power, and who
are beginning to think that matters some.
times get so bad that there Is nothing to be
lost by a change, even in crossing a stream.

How to Prevent Yellow Fever

A correspondent OF the Dallas Her
did, who seems to be a physician of
considerable experience, furnishes
the following on the subject of ward
Ing off attacks of yellow fever. As
the mode of procedure comes within
the limits of his own professional
knowledge, it merits ut least the in
vestigation of the medical men gem
orally. The Uerdid correspondent
SAYS: oii r.-.H
''Since yellow fever is the occasion
of so much being said and written in
your own and other papers at this
time, il might not be amiss TO give
some facts in relation to the proven
ton of this dreadful scourge. 1t was

yer, while the town and vicinity was
almost depopulated with its ravages.

The jolly, laughing and spicy Rock
wall Sunny Cline grows serious
long enough to foot up the results of
local option in Rockwell county,
ending with bit of sound philos-
ophy:
From 1872 up to the adoption of
the law, of those that were the result
of previously formed bosom feuds,
there were four homicides commit
ted, and since only one, aud in that
no citizen was engaged, the murderer
being Missouri renegade who assas-
sinated Il pursuer from Collin county.
Before that time the Grand Jury at
each session found from Is to so in
dictments. At the last session the
result of three days work was one
true bill. The fees of the officers for
the execution of criminal laws have
been reduced about rs per cent. With
reference to the practicability of en-
forcing the law, Ii is like all others
rests with the people. When public
sentiment among the citizens is in
favor of its execution il is but little
trouble to enforce 1t, but on the con-
tray, like all others where public sep
timent opposes II, ii generally
amounts to a dead letter.

moclacy was weak, and didn't do
much hurt. There was but little of
the old dead Wing in it, but what

that was the fayorite beverage of the
Greenbackers.

We regard Hon. II. @. Mills as the

The police were called in to shoot
down the striking laborers in Wash

which we quote below:
"The labor riot in Washington wa.
the immediate frultage of an attempt
of the contractors for the new Gov.
eminent buildings TO pocket immense
profits and get the work done fol-
nothing. They offered the men six
ty-iive cents a day. AS the design OF
the bills which passed Congress, pro.
yiding for Government buildings,
was to give the unemployed labor OF
the District work at fair prices, the
contractors game was organized with
indignation by the laborers.
