great satisfaction, not only to the officers of
the company and its policy holders, but to
the people of this State and to insurance
circles everywhere. Probably no examina-
ton of life insurance company ever made,
either in this country or abroad, was more
thorough and rigid than this exam
ination has been. 1t has stood the test. In
the face of this unanimous report all doubt
must vanish. There is no standard of sol
vency, however high or severe, to which
this company does not answer, and have a
large balance on the side of security.
All the insinuations of weakness and mis-
management published by the Massachu-
sets Commissioner, are met and
refuted 1t is now apparent that
he was either grossly ignorant or
grossly malicious, as it was apparent before
that he was grossly discourteous and arbi-
trary. This report is such a condemnation
him as must destroy his influence and
efulness as an official. Whether be will
remain in Office is to be seen; but it is clear
that while he does, the insurance depart
ment of Massachusetts will have little
respect in the country. The officers of the
company are to be congratulated on the vim
dication for which they have so long patient
y waited and which is so eminently salts
factory and conclusive.
