reorganization of the Union Mutual Lift
Insurance COMPANY.

Reorganization of the Union Mutual Life
Insurance Company.
The Union Mutual Life Insurance Company
reorganized in this city yesterday at the office
of Hon. j. 81. Drummond, under the act of
last winter, and filed vacancies in the board of
directors by the choice of the following:
Daniel Sharp, Boston; E. X. Seccomb, West
Newton; Henry G. Hutchins, Boston; PEREZ
val Bonney, Portland; Fred e. Richards,
Camden; Thomas A. Foster, Portland: Henry
L. Paine, Portland; Marquis f. King, Port
land.
The first three were members of the old
board.
At the adjourned meeting in the afternoon
all the newly elected members were present,
and it was voted to establish the principal
Office OF the company in Portland. The Presi-
dent was authorized to have the books and
papers removed to Isl Middle street.
We have heretofore noticed that two suits
have been commenced in relation to the mort
gage given to the Union Mutual by the Chica-
go University. The one to set aside the mort
gage on the ground that the trustees had no
power to give it, has been before the State
Court on demurrer to the bill. Tuesday a
decision was given in favor of the company
upon technical point, but the Judge remarked
that, after hearing full arguments in the case,
his impressions were that "the bill contained
neither good law nor good moras'

CONSIDERABLE discussion is now
going on as to the effect Of Stanley
Matthews's confirmation upon the
decisions of the U. s. Supreme
Court in corporation causes. An
inquiry into the changes which
have been taking place in the con-
stitution of that tribunal disclose S
the fact that when the power of
the several States to regulate rail.
road charges was affirmed, Judges
Waite, Strong, Bradley, Davis,
Field, Clifford, Miller, Swayne and
Hunt were upon the bench. Field
and Strong dissented from the
opinion. Afterwards when the
"Sinking Fund cases." which in
volved the constitutionality of the
Thurman Act" were passed upon
the same Judges presided except
that Harlan filled the chair
formerly occupied by Davis, and
Hunt was too sick to participate.
The act was declared valid, the
Chief Justice rendering the opin.
ion and Justices Clifford, Miller,
Swayne and Harlan concurring.
Bradley, Strong and Field dissent.
ed. II will thus be seen that near.
ly half of the Court favored the
corporation view of the matter.
Since that time Swayne and Strong
have retired and Wood and
Matthews have been substituted.
1t 1T be true that Matthews and
Wood do not believe ia the cor
rectness of the decisions above ro-
ferred to, the Court at this time
must stand: For the corporations,
4; against, 5; assuming, Of course,
that Hunt, who is still too unwell
to perform his duties, would ad.
here to the views indorsed by h i'm
in the Granger cases. But the end
is not yet. Clifford and Hunt are
both incapable Of acting in their
respective places. They will soon
either die or resign, and if Garfield
appoints two more such men as
Matthews, the votes of the Justices
who are above corporation influ.
enoe will have about as much ef-
feet in the decision of these great
public questions as Gen. Stone
mans voice has in the Railroad

Baldwin hotel. When I came to

been carried about a mile further
out, on side street, and the old

melancholy the heart Of the devout

LUNCH COUNTERS VERSUS RES.
TAURANTs.
The restaurants OF San Francisco
have undoubtedly Ietrograded, of
late years. The Poodle Dog is but
the ghost of its former self, and the
same may be said of most Of the
other famous resorts. On the other
hand the lunches dealt out by the
saloons would have de-
lighted the palate of o Lucullus or
a Cam baceres. A man can 60 into
the "Dividend," "Frank's,"
"Coates's," or several other sa-
looms and, by putting up a long
bit, receive drink and a meal of
several courses really notable for
the perfection of Wand and
cuisine. To get what any of the
saloons named freely provide,
would cost in New York from sew
enty-fve cents to a dollar. A
man who should choose to do 30, IN
this Paradise Of "Lunch Fiends,"
could live luxuriously on thirty
cents a day. and get two excellent
drinks to boot. ]. D. l..
