Restrictions on Insurance.

Some of the States are going to en-
tremes in passing laws regulating the in.
surance business, and for the alleged pro-
lection of policy holders. New York, for
instance, has a statute which soon goes
into effect and which makes 1t penal
offense for brokers or even property own
ers to place insurance with companies
of other States not regularly licensed
to do business in New York. A good
deal of dissatisfaction is felt at the
seemingly needless stringency OF this law.
Many of the large business houses and
property owners of the State have been
accustomed to place their insurance in
foreign companies, or wherever they could
get the most favorable rates, and it is to
stop this business, and in the interest of
New York insurance companies, that the
new law has been enacted.
1t is very proper that the States should
place such restrictions on the insurance
business as operate to reasonable
extent against irresponsible companies.
In Georgia, companies not making the
deposit required by law for the protec-
ton of policy holders are prohibited from
doing business in the State through
agents or brokers. They are even pro-
hibited from sending their adjusters in
the State to adjust losses. There are no
restrictions, however, against people
placing their own insurance wherever
they choose. 1t is doubtful whether
our Supreme Court would sustain such a
provision. 1t would seem to be sufficient
for the State authorities to say to the citi-
zen eve have done all we can be eX-
pected to do to protect you now ifyou get
bit by wildcat insurance companies don't
saddle any blame on u.s." The insurance
companies complying with the laws OF the
State are protected against illegitimate
competition, but the protection is not SO
great but property owners may resent eX-
tortion in rates by going elsewhere with
their business.
New York insurance companies proba-
bly, do as much Legitimate business from
other States as the companies of any other
two States combined, and they should not
have any undue protection in their own
territory. 1t is suggested that the Super
intendent OF Insurance in New York may
permit a waver of the law in favor of large
insurers. Such a step would hardly be
tolerated, and it should not be. So 1t is
very probable that public opinion will de-
mand a repeal of the Objectionable pro-
vision. 1t is to be hoped the example of
New York in this matter Will not be gen.
orally followed.

Kansas Politics.

The political situation in Kansas is
worthy of notice. 1t is complicated to
say the least of it. 1t has always been
looked upon as Republican stronghold,
but the. indications now are that it will
not give the Republican national ticket
the accustomed majority. In fact it is a
question whether the Republicans will
not lose the State.
The liquor question is the question Of
the hour there. 1t even takes precedence
Of the scandals that have been published
about the Presidential candidates. The
present Governor, who is a Democrat,
was elected on the liquor issue. He has
again been nominated by the Democrats
and the faction called the Resubmission-
lists. The Resubmissionists are those
who want the question whether intoxl-
eating liquors shall be freely soid
throughout the State again SUD-
mitted to the people. They IN
cIude all who are opposed to the
Probibitionists, and are numerous. The
Republicans and the PrOhibitOnists stand
together. 1t would not be at all surpris-
ing if the Democrats should triumphant
" elect their State ticket, and should
even secure their electoral ticket by a
small majority. They certainly have
chance. II they work energetically and
skillfully the result of the election
may surprise the country. What a revo-
luton it would be if Kansas were to go
Democratic. If Blaine should lose that
State he would certainly admit that his
nomination was a mistake.
While the Republicans and Prohibition
lists will act together so far as the State
ticket is concerned, they will vote for
their respective Presidential candidates.
The Prohibitionists will not desert st.
John for Blaine. That is why Blaine is
in danger of losing the State.

And, by the way, the predictions of the
Blaine organs that Gen. Buffers vote will be
obtained at the expense of Gov. Cleveland, are
not at all consistent with their repeated boasts
that Blaine would receive a large Irish sup
port. 1t is now evident that the anti-Cleve-
land Irish vote, whether large or small, will
go to Gen. Butler, and not to Dir. Blaine. The
lingo editors are, of course, disposed to take
all the consolation possible out of the existing
situation, but it would perhaps be just as well
for them to keep within at least hailing dis
lance of the actual facts.

Now. Mr.. Hayes was in many ways a small
being, but we assert, without fear of CONTRA
dictiOn, that nothing in all his petty career so
fixed him in the universal public contempt as
the fact that he unblushingly ran away from
Washington and permitted his subOrdinates
to be robbed of part of their small pay. We
believe President Arthur would like to return
to private life with the respect and regard of
his fellow citizens, which, so far, he has emf
nently deserved. But if in this matter he
follows the base example of Mr.. Hayes he
must expect, and he will surely receive. the
same contempt which justly covers ''that
poor creature, Hayes" and he will get no
thanks frnm the Rlainp gang.
