A BUSINESS CHANGE.

A very prominent business change il
insurance circles occurred yesterday. Al

The Manufacturers Insurance Company re-
signed in order to take the same position
in the new Underwriters Insurance Com
Pany," Just formed.
The new secretary Of the Manufacturers
Is no less gentleman than the retiring Au-
ditor, Mr.. JOSEPH S. MILLER, as sterling
and as true public servant as ever hlled
an Office. Never swerving from duty 70
matter how unpopularit it might be. Always
chewing to the line" exactly as the law and
his judgment dictated As proof Of this
characteristic in the Auditor, his position
on the supplemental assessment order is
cited. Mr.. MILLER was a candidate for
the Guberuatorial nomination. He was
unusually popular and Wen known all over
the State. His boom for the nomination
kept on growing in strength until it looked
IS if it was ell going one way, when sud
denly the famous supplemental assessment
order" was issued by the Governor, based
upon the decision Of the Supreme Court in
the case Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
road VS.. the Auditor The financial officer
Of the State faithfully promulgated
the order, as was his sworn
duty. The order proved to be unpopular
because it was not properly understood. 1:
was made a weapon with which to kill the
auditors aspirations He accepted the sit
uation gracefully, Withdrawing from the
gubernatorial race, and deyoting himself to
his duties of carrying out the law. No
higher conception Of political selEsscri6ce
for the good Of the party
has come under the REGIsTERs no
tice, and very Likely such an elevated
plane of politics is a rare occurrence in the
history of party politics anywhere. His
course has won the esteem and admiration
of friends and enemies alike, and to-day he
is more popular than ever.
As the Secretary of the Manufacturers
Mr. MILLER viii be perfectly at home.
His thorough state acquaintance and genial
ways and afable manners, are bound to
make his regime all the stockholders Of that
Company could wish.

in the London Daily News, in relation to
the decision that the powers ignore the pro-
posals of England relatiye to, Egyptian
finance and attmbuting this decision to the
attitude of Rsmsrek says: European
peace is more important than she settlement
OF the Egyptian question. Zach power is
obliged to consider whether the
acceptance Of the English proposals
would ieor ardize its relations with the other
powers. II England and France comSto an
agreement the assent of tAe other powers
can be essily obtained they having less in
terest,in Egypt to concern them in tAe event
of the failure of the English proposals. 1t
is to England's interest to induce Germany
to accept the proposals and to airing their
united pressure to bear to indace France
to accept them. Germany is too
much interested in retaining the good will
of France to snatch Anglo o-Egyptian chest
nuts from the French ERE, and she attaches
loo great value to Englaads good will to
wantonly disoblige her; but she viii not al
low this to interfere with the policy Of peace
with France observed since the war. The
difficulty lies in the reluctance ofeach pow
er to deside before the others accept or re.
iect the opossl'.
