PENNSYLVANIA has been a profitable field

holders of policies in Lebanon county, that
State, have received shock which will at

further investments In a number OF in
stances where deaths have occurred of per.
sons insured the heirs of the deceased have
laid claim TO the awards against the men
who had had policies issued and had them
assigned to themselves. These cases were
referred to board of arbtrators and, much
to the surprise and disgust of the speculative
men who had paid the premiums, decisions
have been rendered in favor of the heirs. It'll
claimed that the rulings will, in all proba-
bility, be sustained by the courts. Should
this be the case death-b insurance in that
vicinity will have received Il death blow.

THE local report is that money is tight,
and is likely to continue so, because so much
currency is going into margins" in Chicago.
This is the effect of a little money-making
within the past few days by reason of the
stiffening of prices in that gambling hell
hole, the Chicago Board of Trade. Money is
being withdrawn from legitimate business
channels legitimate business being more or
less strangled, in order that this corrupting,
degrading, debauching gambling in "mar-
gins. may proceed without abatement. The
result, sooner or later, will be the loss of

THE criticisms made upon ex-Superintend-
ent Robbins have not been based upon
personal feeling, but upon the recognized
fact.that he was utterly and entirely untitled
for the duties of the place, and permitted
himself to embrace the belief that the "high-
er law" of his personal opinion was better
than the statute law he was sworn to enforce.
Captain LANCE will have the opportunity to
show whether he will endeavor to enforce
the law as it stands. or indulge in the ca
price of another "higher law" which abso-
lutely ignores the statutes altogether. And.
beyond the superintendent the board of po-
lice will have the opportunity to show
whether they desire the statute laws enforced
fairly and intelligently. In the past eight
months it is very slight criticism to say that
they have not evinced that disposition. Re-
form should commence at the head.

The Insolent Polygamists.

New York Tribune
The new generation of saints are growing
up in the conviction that the United States
is hostile power which may be defed with
impunity, that heaven has given the plains
and the mountain valleys into their hands,
that the church is iEvincible that no laws
can be executed or need be feared upon
which the church has put its veto To check
the increase of this spirit, at once defiant and
contemptuous, is not less important than to
put down polygamy. If we are ever to vim
dictate the rule of the United States over the

in giving up the farccal experiment of exer-
cising the federal authority through courts

they or their wives may have pressing de-

risk it on grain margins when the old adage
