WARNocK, of the Jamestown Alert,
never puts his pencil to paper without
putting down something worth reading.
The editorial columns of that paper are
always read with interest. Here is one
of the "old mans pungent and pointed
paragraphs:
The resolution offered in the territorial coun-
Gil yesterday by Hon. R. F. Pettigrew is in the
right direction. Some of the members assert
that threats have been made with view to in
fuenoinR voters rpon pending me sures and the
purpose of this resolution is to ascertain by
committee OF investigation whether 1t is true or
not, Such influence ia spt cies of bribery that
msketh not the wallet IF the legislator plethoric
aud he cannot be expected to submit to it with
that spirit of martyrdom which cash consider
alton insures. Things are becoming altogether
too mon 'onous in the legislature for the taste
of the newspapers and reading public and such
an investigation would inspire new life aad in
terest in the procee iinga. The explanation OF
this resolution by Mr.. Pettigrew indicates that
the intimidation is by members upon each other
and th ir constituents will no doubt epj"y any
developments that may be made. Another ad-
vantage will be that while they are inv stisatinR
each other hqy will have no tim, to do the peo
pie harm by legislation, an indemnity which
their constituents will highly appreciate.

A Valley City dispatch to the Fargo
Argus of the 9th inst. said as follows:
"When it came time for service to-day it
was discovered that the Rev. Herbert
Root had seized the Episcopal church at
this place, pad1ocked the doors and
placed number of men inside to watch
the building. Rev. Woodford, the rec
tor, procured an axe and attempted to
force an entrance, but was prevented by
the armed guard inside. He then sent
for his gun, but was restrained by friends
During the day all sorts of talk was in
dulged in and tonight the vestry of the
church, headed by the rector, broke in
the door of the church with ram, and
before Mr.. Root and his supporters
could extricate themselves from the
wreck of the barricade of benches they
had piled against the doors the assail-
ants had seized and elected them. A
supply of ammunition was found in the
building. Mr.. Root will have all hands
arrested in the morning. Mr.. Root was
refused communion last Sunday, hence
his move no-day. s rious trouble is ap-
prehended.'

The sending to this legislature from
McCook county of petition like the
one appearing in the columns of Tues
days paper, is the most disgraceful
thing that has occurred. in. the territory
for some time. The reflection cast upon
the Hon. Mr.. Natwick in this petition is
not only an outrage, but evidenced a lack
of good sense on the part of the petit
tioners. The implication is that Mr.
Natwick is in favor of board of health
for the territory purely from selfish mo-
tives, in that he desires one DR..
Ware appointed chairman of such
board. The petitioners oppose the
board simply on the ground
that DR.. Ware will be chairman. How
do they know he will be chairman? To
assume that he is to be chairman of the
board is to intimate that Mr.. Natwick
has job put up with the governor. If
the constituents of the Legislators would
allew them to perform their duties as
they see the right will generally pre-
vail. # these people have no confidence
in their member, then why did they send
him to the legislature? It is fairsto pre-
sumo that the average legislator usually
knows what to do equally as well at
least as his constituents 500 miles away.

SATURDAYS Chicago Inter Ocean con-
tains ninth the letter of Siva'' to Grover
Cleveland. In the concluding paragraph
of this last letter, the writer gives express
sion,to the opinion that the defeat of the
republican party, winds up its history
that it has gone down to its tomb. He
seems believe that the democracy will not
be dislodged from power until some great
crisis arises which will call the American
people en- masse to battle against it-some
great occasion like that of 1860. There are
many who are of the opinion that just
such an occasion will arise in 1888. The
people of the United States are not in
love with Bourbonism and they will not
endure it's rule any longer than the law
allows.

A LATE financial circular from New
York says: $50 far as the situation is
concerned, the outlook is encouraging.
Since the commencement of the new
year fifty iron establishments bave re-
sumed work and prices of manufactured
iron exhibit quite an improvement.
While general business continues to be
conducted on conservative basis, still q
more speculative feeling is prevalent in
all trade circles, and an improvement in
the demand for commercial paper is not
without significance. In our opinion
only patience is now requisite to make
the conviction general that the turning
point has at last been passed and that
We are beginning another period OF pros

sUICIDE AND INSURANCE.

The decision of New York court that
suicide does not vitiate a life insurance
policy is likely to be attended with I'M
portant consequences, good and bad. 1t
is an exceedingly difficult subject, wisely
to settle. The prevailing tendency OF
public opinion is, that every possible dis
couragement should be given to suicide,
because of the increasing tendency to
that form of crime. On the other hand,
where the suicide had not been delibera-
tely planned with view to defrauding
the insurance company, but was the re-
suit of mental alteration, there can be
no doubt that it ought not to work the
forfeiture of the policy. The trouble is,
life insurance companies have availed
themselves of suicides to avoid payment
of policies, assuming in all cases. crimi-
nal intent. This is not always the case.
And between those cases which have
occurred through causes which arose
years after the policy was taken, and
those in which the policy was taken,
with purpose to commit suicide, dis
elimination should be made.
Perhaps the best course is to fix Pc
Rod after which ife-insurance policy
shall be absolutely non-forfeitable from
any cause. If payments lapse the amount
paid shall be worked out on some eqrita-
BILE plan. Such policies are written by
some companies, and are very acceptable
to the public. We see no good reason
why they should not apply as we'll to
cases of suicide as any other. A person
is hardly likely to plan suicide years in
advance, and if a policy runs two or three
years it ought to cover such contingen-
cies. That companies should be properly
protected as against willful suicide none
will doubt. This duty pertains as much
to society as to the companies. 1t is a
delicate question, on which much can be
said both ways. The only safe rule, per-
haps, is to have each case stand on its
own merits. Then, as a rule, the right
will be done.
