Malone Gives Arthur TO Under
stand that He will Readjust
the Appointments in Vir-
ginia.
speeial to Courier-Journal.l

Special to Courier-Journal.l
WASHINGTON, January 30.-Sen-
ator Malone has demonstrated that he
is perfect boss of Virginia Federal
appointments, if any such demonstra-
ton was needed. The President will
withdraw the nomination of Nichols
to be Postmaster at Norfolk, Va, and
nominate Mahone's man. Nichols is
the candidate of Dezendorf, the only
Republican member of Congress from
Virginia who opposed Malone. The
President sent Nichols nomination to
the Senate after it had been duly made
out at the Postofice Department, and
transmitted to him for signature. He
had not heard from Malone about the
office, and thought that Dezendorl s
man could be put in without any dis
turbance in Virginia. AS soon as
Malone and his crowd heard OF
Nichols nomination, there was a row
in the camp. Malone, Riddleberger,
and even General Cameron, of Vir-
GINA, Immediately repaired to Wash
ington, and made bee line for the
White House. The result of their
visit will be that Nichols nomination
will withdrawn and the Malone
man appointed. This is the first mis-
take that President Arthur has yet
made. His friends are trying to cover
it up by saying that Nichols nomina-
ton was clerical error. 1t was NO
such thing; they say that President
Arthur signed it in bach of other
nominations without knowing what il
really was, and that the clerk who
made out the nominations for his sig.
nature is either aknave or a fool, and
that an investigation will be had, and
the clerk who made the clerical error
will be bounced. There will be moth
ing of the kind; there was no Clerical
error. The nomination was made out
at the Postofice Department under
the direction of the President. The
simple fact is that President Arthur
did not consult Malone before he di
rected the nomination made out anC
before he signed it. He is simply try
ing to avoid public knowledge that il
all Virginia matters he is dictated t,
by Malone.

BAD FOR INSURANCE MEN,
Disastrous Effects Of Low Rates
and English Competition.

New YORK, January 29.--The year
1881 was a particularly disastrous one
for the business of the Fire Insurance
Underwriters. There were $50 fires
in this country during the first eleven
months of the year, at which the
average loss was $l45 600, and at not
one Of these fires was the loss less than
$4,000. In December the aggregate
losses by fire were estimated by in
surance men at not less than Sl0,9O0,
900. Taking into consideration the
fires at which the losses we're less than
$50 600 it was estimated that not less
than $l00,000,000 worth of property
was destroyed in the United States
during the year 1881. Such being the
case it was expected that, considering
the extremely low rates current, many
small companies of this State would
withdraw from the business, and this
has been the case to a large extent.
Over a dozen American companies
have retired. The State has at present
1872 fire insurance companies as against
l76 in 1874, and the prediction by
veteran underwater Is, that unless
some change takes place in the system
of underwriting one another, 1852 will
be a still more disastrous year. This
time. however, the gentleman in ques-
ton believes that the large companies
will be the ones to suffer, the fight
affecting them more than the smaller
companies, whose business is Of con-
servative character, many of them
having refused to write policies upon
the terms accepted by large companies
who with heavy expenses must have
the business and run the risk or go
to the wall. "
The latest company TO 60 under is
the Commercial Mutual Marine and
Fire, of this city. 1t has just re-
tired from business, after reinsuriDg
| its risks in the Royal Fire Insurance
Company, Of Liverpool, one of the
| foreign companies, who bid higher
than any other, the risks of the re-
firing company being considered the
most desirable class, principally upon
dwellings in this city and Brooklyn,
An officer of the Commercial Mutual
said yesterday that it would continue
the marine business. At the Office
of the Royal it was stated that the
business reiDsured averaged abou;
$50, GOO annual premiums, and when
inquiry was made as to whether the
discount given was thirty. FIVE per
cent, as currently reported, the reply
was that it was much less than that
figure.
A leading underwater said yester.
day that the State Superintendent
annual report would not show thc
condition Of American companies
without knowledge of the method
of insurance book keeping. The un
initiated might think thar eompan,
! was losing heavily, when, as matte
9 OF fact, it was making money. ii
did not belive that the English com
pauies are doing any better than tn
! American, and be could explain thei
consistency in seeking business her
: at low rates, on the theory that th
insurance business is more democrat
lied on the other side of the Allan
G tic than here.

in one notable instance. Senator
Ccnkling, during his service, always
hung his hat and cloak in the Demo
cratic room. He had the peg nearest
the door leading into the Senate
chamber. Though he made use of the
cloak room he spent less time in it
than perhaps, any other Republican
Senator. He rarely ever stopped
longer than was required to doff or don
his wraps. Why Senator Conkling
made himself the single exception of
the rule observed by all others Of
using the cloak room of their respec.
tive side was source of wonder to a
great many; but no explanation was
ever made. 1t is a somewhat remark
able fact, observed by all visitors to
the cloak rooms, that there is marked
difference in the general tone and
character impaired to the two.
There is more sociability in the
Democratic room than in the other.
1t seems as if it were easier for the
Senators to lay aside their oppressive
dignity in the Democratic room.
When Republican Senators want to
unbend for awhile and while smoking
a cigar, exchange funny stories, tell
Jokes, etc, they frequently visit the
Democratic cloak room. There is an
air of dignity and decorum which con
tinually pervades the Republican
room. 1t has been suggested, by way
of explanation of this, that the most
rigid sticklers for Senatorial dignity
are on the Republican side, and they
act as a sort of damper upon their less
stately associates.

measureless savannas with their
strange and solemn stiffness and

quick excitement Of hunting, the
sluggish alligators, the statuesque

THE Knoxville Chronicle is still in
a frame Of mind about the election Of
Mr.. Payne as Mayor of Knoxville. His
ostensible point Of attack is his record
as supporter of S. f. Wilson, the low
candidate for Governor, but the real
secret of all this sadnefs probably lies
in the fact that any kind of Demo
crat was elected. The Chronicle
says:
We believed and still believe that
his election will encourage the repudi
alton sentiment in this section. Future
events will prove whether We are cor
rect in our belief. That be
voted for Wilson he does not deny
and he has not since changed hii
mind on the question Of the State
debt.
The last sentence referred to Mr.
Payne's message to the Board o
Aldermen, in which he said:
l am not a repudiationist, therefore
nor savoring of those upon the othel
hand who parade as mere empty terms
the honor and integrity Of our Statt
to cloak political fraud. This charg,
(my low tax issue, they call it) con
sists solely in my right to believe as
do to-day, without the stain of repu
diation, upon the conviction that po
litical wirepullers have used an,
abused great financial question, re
gardless of considerations, that j
weighed and pOndered without pre-
cipitation and indecent haste, woul
doubtless have Injured in time to les
sen the burdens OF taxation, restor
harmony, peace and prosperity in tn
length and breadth Of our land.
Paine not only fails to deny that b
voted for Wilson, but indicates thI
she has not changed his mind on Il
question Of the State debt, and do
not indorse the 1908 act. Hence !
must be one OF them bad repudiato
with big r. Knoxville must be
a bad way.

no question but what on this State
debt question, for the reasons have
stated, large numbers Of Democrats
are going to vote with us, and, as l
have said to you, for the reason that
we are now out of the shadows Of the

place. 1 have no sort Of doubt but
that we will elect the next Governor
and Legislature, aud Isham Harris
successor to the Senate. Tennessee,
1 tell you, will become Republican. "
Democrats are warned in time, If the
high tax wing is determined to carry
out the threat made OF going to the
Republicans rather than recede from
the 1908. Houk's prophecy will be

The persecution Of the Jews in

and such unanimity2 Is it only q
hatred Of faith? No, your love Of
money, your Unsuitable greed, your
cupidity, your haste to become rich

likely that he has the Memphis post

WASHINGTON, January 31.-The
physicians who attended the late
President have decided not to present
bill for services, despite the state
ment Of one of them that they would
do so, made some weeks since. DR..

virtually, will prepare a statement Of
services, showing how long they were
in attendance, and what time they
spent daily on duty and with what
diligence they served. The other
physicians will be shown the state

DR.. Bliss says they will take what

reference to what they would charge
