THE INSURANCE. HYENA.-CoLUMBUs
o., February l.-Great Indignation has
been occasioned by the verificati0n of the
report that some miserable Speculation in
human life has taken out q poli,y for
$4,000 on the life of Mrs. Garfield, the
late President Garheld's mother, in the
"Standard Mutual Aid Society Of Mans
field. Mrs. Garfield is over 50 wears old,
and her insurer probably rightly cacula-
ted that he would not have to pay many
assessments before he could realize on his
policy. Insurance Commissioner Moore
has all the evidence in lis possession, but
will not disclose it until it is given in his
forthcoming report, which promises some
startling developmentsi respect to other
companies of this kind. Senator Horr's
bill for regulating these assessment socie-
ties, 1t is believed, will go through both
houses without opposition. The Legisia-
lature is determined to grapple with as
sessment life insurance, by means Of
which alone the graveyard rascality is
possible, an put an end t. it before it
disgraces this State as it has Perusy Ivan
la.
COURT IN BANC.-The Court in Bane
to which Gulteau continually aiiudes,
may not be generally understood.
The judicial affairs OF the District Of
Columbia are in the hands OF Chief J u.s.
tice and five Associate Justices. These,
sitting separately, have jurisdiction gen
orally similar to that of Common Pleas
Judges in the several states. Sitting to-
gother, or "in banc," as the supreme
Court Of the District in general term. it
has jurisdiction analogous to that OF
State Supreme Conrt. passing on points
Of law raised in cases decided by the in
'ilvi.IuaI Juiges when sitting in Ine sab
ordinate courts.
The court in banc" therefore means
the Supreme Court Of the District in full
bench. The members of that Court are
Chiei Justice ID. X Carter, and Associate
Justices Andrew Wye, Arthur McArth-
ur, Alexander B. Hagner, Walter 5. Cox
and Charles 2 james
Kansas is a great country in some
respects. a special from Ellis, in that
state, states that the wife of farmer
near there recently gave birth to five
children, all Of whom are living The
phyiclan who attended upon the case,
expresses the belief that tie group will
live and flourish. The mother is doing
well. This is one Of the most marvellous
instances Of the kind on record, ana Will
be sure to attract the attention OF the
medical world.
A SOUTHERN VIEW OF INDIANA DEMO
CRATS.-One OF the most amusing cases
OF the Presidential aspiration is afforded
by the ili-fated State Of Indiana Mr..
VOORHEES, has been afflicted by various po-
iItical diseases at various times during
his career His tariff departure at At
lanta was a curious phenomenon, and
his mistaking it for something new an
amusing delusion. He has been accused
OF being a Copperhead, and we have
heard him mention his devotion to the
South during her reconstruction period
as if he were entitled to special consider
alton from that quarter The latest
phase in Mr. Voorhees, support of the
Pensions bill, which is beyond the ques-
ton the most stupendous fraud Of the
age, concocted by scheming pension
agents, and showed through under that
refuge of scoundrels, as Dr.. johnson
called it, patriotism. Mr.. Voorhees, can
now procure certificate of loyalty from
all the pension agents Side by side
with these latter phases of Mr.. VOORHEES,,
ex-senator Mcdonald stubbornly an
nounces that he is standing, and pro-
poses to stand until the trump of doom,
upon the tariff for revenue In the
background stands Mr.. Hendricks,
writing an occasional innocuous article
for the magazines, and defly balancing
himself as usual until the time for taking
definite position draws a lit lie nearer.
These Indiana statesman are entitled to
be watched with interest.-NashriHe
{ Tena.) Democrat.
