Deathbed Insurance.

Ho,o the Business is Booming IN PcnnSytCd'
nia-Gopernor HoW Expresses his Abhor.
renee of the System, Jm Declares Il is lie.
gdLised by Statute.
From the New York Herald.
HARRIsBURG, Pa, Aug. 30. 1881.
Statements having been made by Off.
GERS of deathbed insurance companies,
in this State, that Governor Hoyt had
control of policies on the lives OF old
people representing 100000, and that
other State officials had also largely in
vested in this business, the Governor
was asked by your correspondent to-day
what foundation there was for these
allegations. He replied that any such
statement was lie, and added that he
had never had but one opinion OF these
companies and that was that they were
swindlers morally and mathematically.
He had not only entertained this view
of them but had informed n number OF
persons who had written to him con
cerning these companies that they were
swindlers. This is also said to be the
opinion of the Attorney General, who
is represented by insurance officers to
be largely interested in speculative
risks, and the Insurance Commissioner.
The latter official for n time refused to
approve titles of these companies, and
being much berated for his action he
appealed to the Attorney General for
an opinion, which was to the effect that
the Insurance Commissioner, under the
law, could not withhold his approval.
The Governor says that he would not
grant charter to any of the swindling
companies but for the mandatory re.
quirements OF the statute on the sub.
iect An effort was made at the recent
session of the Legislature to pass a law
to break up the base speculation in
human lives, but the opponents Of it
by the use of the most disreputable
means defeated it. Among the men
working against it was member Of the
Legislature who has invested $l50,OOO
on the lives of persons expected soon
to die. The defeat OF this bill gave
new impetus to the organization of these
companies, and TO day there are over
two hundred in the State, with no pros.
pect of a dimiuution OF the number.
1t is evident that the names OF Govern.
or Hoyt and other officials have been
associated with these companies as an
advertisement to prosper their business.

What the Anti. ti.Monopolists Propose.

Prom tho New York Time.
As whatever is to be accomplished
must come from legislation, the efforts
OF the auti-monopolists are very proper.
ly TO be directed to securing the right
kind of men in the Legislature. This
is almost the only practical work they
can do at present. They propose TO
carry their movement in organized
shape into every Senatorial and As.
sembly district. There is little doubt
that by this means they can control a
sufficient number Of votes in most cases
to turn the scale between two opposing
candidates. This power will induce one
it not both parties to put up as candi.
dates men who are at least free from
the suspicion of being controlled by
railroads or capable of selling their
votes. All that is needed is to secure
men Of capacity and Of upright charac.
ter who will act conscientIously in the
interest OF the people and OF the State.
Antimonopoly candidates as such
should only put in nomination when
both parties refuse or neglect TO noni.
nate men who can be safely trusted.
As caucuses are already beginning to be
held and states to be made up, it is
quite time for action. There are Ger.
tain kinds of men whose nomination by
either party should be defeat. -.
slble. and whose election shS
feated il their nomination = - %.
These include men who are personally
connected with railroad corporations or
are in their pay, men who have hther.
TO exhibited their subserviency to the
demands of the corporations, and men
whose character or past associations
render them unworthy of entire con.
fidence. No doubt by securing a centre
OF activity in every district and working
with zeal Legislature may be secured
which will deal honestly and wisely
with the railroad question.

The Methodist Of the World.

From the New York World.
On the 7th of next September there
will assemble at London an Ecumenical
Conference of the whole Methodist
family, which will continue its sessions
during two weeks. In the different
branches Of Methodism, and there are
many of them, are included q very
large proportion of Protestant Chris
tians. IL is a communion which is sub
stantially one in doctrine and spirit ;
yet 1t is split up into various factions,
there being in the United States alone
fifteen distinct Methodist organizations.
One great object of the London Confer.
ence. therefore, il to bring them ell to-
gether. and perhaps prepare the way
for their permanent consolidation. Even
If that result is not brought about, how.
ever, the enormous religious power
welded by Methodism will be made
manifest when lie representatives from
every quarter of the globe are assem-.
bled at the English capital, and the
statistics Of its progress, unexampled
in the history of modern Professionalism,
are presented by the different parties.
