FAvoR1TIsM IN INSURANCE. LEGIS-
LATION

Perhaps no better index TO the general
spirit of hostility TO home insurance inter
est and favoritsm for the foreign interest Is
manifested in any part of the Finch omni-
bus insurance bill than is contained
i'm the provision of Section 10,
which requires of home Companies
securities amounting to one-half of their
capital stock, to be deposited with the Audi
tor Of State, rs condition to the compile
ton of their organization and their qualifica-
ton TO do Business. 10 riH be obserrcd that Ibis
requirement is only 10 apply 10 homo Compa-
mics. Nothing of the kind is asked of the
English, French, New England or other tor
eign Companies. The simple statement Of
foreign Insurance Companies, that they
possess certain securities Somewhere, Is
deemed all sufficient as to them. Not so
however, as To our own citizens. II seems
that the author of this wonderful produ, :
ton does not look upon the statement" of
our own citizens as entitled TO equal credit
with that Of the unknown foreigner, and II
is precisely in the same spirit of superior
trust in, and partiality for the foreign cor
porations that Ii is carefully provided else
where in the bill, that they need publish
nothing whatever In Indiana in regard to
their condition.

The true test of crime is the convictions
from year to year, not the number criminals
accumulated in the State Prison in any partic-
ular year. The fact that in 1851 there were
four murderers in the State Prison and in 1880
tacenty-one, by no means indicates that there
were more murders committed in 1880 than in
1851. Suppose that during the present year
Gov. Plaisted should deem it wise to pardon
all at present in the State Prison or convicted
for murder and serving life sentences. The
as the number of murderers, none. Would
that fact prove so gratifying a decease OF
high crime as would be the legitimate out
come of Postmaster Goddard's logic? trow
not. 3 tEr ~ ~
The illustration used is fair sample OF the
Judges reasoning. His figures will not stand
the test Of analysis; and it is a matter OF sur
prise that SO many people have accepted them
as accurate, without taking the trouble to IN
vestigate the facts for themselves.

Fire on Congress Street.

Officer Gill pulled in an alarm from box "a
Saturday night, about H. Is o'clock The fire
proceeded from the basement of Irving j.
Browns shoe store, located in the Lynch
block on Congress street, next TO the First

he found everything all right
The building is of brick, three stored, occu-
pied by Browns shoe store and Greene g.
Sayyers candy store on the first floor, and by
"-drs. Felt as clearinghouse overhead.
The loss on stock suffered by Mr.. Brown can.
not be ascertained at present, but it must have
been severe, since the greater portion of the
goods had been placed in the cellar while the
painting was going on in the store overhead.
Mr.. Brown had 81, 200 on stock, and $500 on
store furniture in the Guardian of London
with W. Allen, Jr.; $1,000 on stock in the Lon
