New Hampshire Insurance Trouble!

New hampshire insurance Troubles
The situation of property-owners and
business men in regard to insurance in
New Hampshire is said to be growing
rapidly worse. The people Of that State
are already heartily SICK of the valued
policy law. and tits believed by many that
the Legislature would at once repeal it
should an extra session be called, but the
general opinion is that the majority of the
body are too stupid or too stubborn to cor
rect the great wrong they have done,
even If they had an opportunity to do so.
The local companies are getting high
rates, but they can only take very small
part of the insurance offered, and will take
none but strictly gilt-edge risks. 1t is
said that it is very difficult to get insur-
ance in the State, and as soon as the poll
cies which were written before the enact
ment of the valued policy law expire, and
they are expiring daily, three fourths OF
the property in New Hampshire usually
insured will be without insurance.
The suggestion of Mr.. Edward Akin
son that the law could be evaded by hav-
ing the policies written in Boston or other
points outside the State, so as have them
governed by the lea loci c0ntrdcta, it APP
pears has not been favOrably regarded
either by the property-owners or the in
surance companies on account of the diff
iculty ofmaking adjustments, and the lat
ter do not seem to be disposed to follow
another suggestion made by a leading
lawyer TO ignore the law In the belief that
it would be declared unconstitutional.
Most of the people of New Hampshire.
it is said, who believed that the insurance
companies would soon recover from the
"scare" and re-establish their agencies in
the State, are losing confidence, and be-
ginning to see what damage can be done
by unwise legislation. There is little
room to doubt that the next Legislature
will speedily repeal the obnoxious statute.
1t may be taken for granted that the in
surance companies VIII not yield the
point they have made. They maintain
that the valued policy law, which il has
been attempted to enact in several States.
is contrary to the fundamental principle
Of sound insurance, and while they might
perhaps evade it, they say it will paw
them 10 give up without a struggle all
business in States which ADOPT it. The
insurance men say they will not spend
one dollar in lighting such legislation, but
will simply retire from New Hampshire
and other States which follow her exam
pie, and leave the people to suffer the con-
sequences Of foolish legislation until pub
lie opinion forces the laW.making povar
to repeal it.

The Utah Commissions Report.

/ The report Of the Utah commission is
/ calculated TO give the impression that
very little progress has been made in the
work Of suppressing polygamy. The
/ Federal court at salt Lake City is kept
/ pretty busy trying polygamists. Within
/ TWO years eighty-three indictments have
been found and twenty-three persons
have been convicted. About forty OF the
cases yet remain 10 be disposed Of. The
number Of convictions appears 10 be
small but il must not he forgotten that 1t
is q very difficult matter To obtain the evil
dence necessary to secure convictions.
The tone OF the renort is not such as to
encourage the hope that the spirit Of op-
position 20 the law is broken. The Nor
mon leaders are Just as determined, ap-
parently, 10 maintain their institution OF
polygamy as they ever were. 1t is stated
that they have raised very large sum Of
money to be used at Washington next
winter for lobbying purposes. They in
tend to make an effort to secure repeal
Of the Edmunds law.
The commission is satisfied that the
Edmunds law ought to be made more
stringent than II is. and the recommended
ton is made that the term Of imprison-
ment for polygamy be greatly increased.
II Congress shows any disposition to be
lenient with the Mormons in this matter
Of polygamy. it is certain that the evil
~ill grow with increasing vigor. 1t will
be claimed that the failure to put an end
to il is indisputable evidence that it is
right, and the Mormon leaders will make
greater exertious than they have yet
made to establish and strengthen it as an
institution.
The administration is in favor Of Wig
orous war upon It, and If Congress does
its duty the Edmunds law will be so
amended that there will be a great deal
more hesitation about contracting p0lyg-
amous marriages than there is at present
The Mormons still have hope that ii
they show bold front and continue their
defiant attitude, the government will
finally relax Its efforts TO destroy po-
lygamy. They ought to be given no room
for indulging in this hope. The people of
the United States do not intend that
polygamy shall ever have their sanction
for its existence. They are indulgent
now and hope to put an end Of the evil by
quiet means. but if the courts fail TO deal
with it successfully, force will be used to
destroy it. Forcible means will take the
place of peaceable means as soon as the
settlement Of the country brings the peo-
pie into closer relations with the evil.

Pasteurss Discoveries.

Pasteur, the celebrated French chemist
Is constantly increasing his fame by new
discoveries. 1t is now world wide. His
experiments have been watched by scien-
tific men in every civilized country for
years. Often he has met with failure, but
he mas seldom or never been disheartened.
His success with splenic fever that was
decimating the flocks and herds of Europe
is well known. 1t was a long time before
he was able 10 secure a virus that was not
deadly. but which would produce a modi-
fied form of contagion. Vaccinated with
this virus cattle were safe from the dis
ease. He pursued the same course OF ex-
periments with respect 10 fowl cholera,
and was equally successful. He sue
ceeded in getting the modified virus by
exposing the virulent virus TO dried air
for a certain period.
Having succeeded with splenic fever
and fowl cholera he experimental with
hydrophobia, and has succeeded, after FIVE
years, In getting virus that answers the
purpose he has been seeking TO accomplish.
He has saved the lives OF two persons al
ready with It. They were bitten by mad
dogs, and il was admitted by eminent
physicians that they would die terrible
death unless a remedy We're discovered.
Pasteur was allowed to inoculate them
with the virus he had prepared. He sue
ceeded in curing both Of them. Others
who have been bitten by mad dogs have
put themselves under Pasteur's care.
The result IN these latter cases will doubt
lessly be awaited with deep interest.

degree Of statesmanship that contributed
largely TO the prosperity which Florida is

Gov. Bloxham is now spoken OF for
Surveyor-General Of Florida. The POSI-
ton is one OF honor rather than OF profit.
as the salary is only $500 per annum.
Gov. Bloxham, however, is not a rich
man. He had too high a sense Of honor
to utilize the opportunities to make money
which he had while Governor. lie Is
poor man, and the Suryeyor-Generars
Office will be a great help 70 him The
appointment OF no other man would give
81 much satisfaction TO the people Of

srYArOR MIHOYES EXPLANATION

Senator Malone, in his letter to Senator Mil
Ter, sets forth good many facts which are not
generally understood by the people OF Northern
States. Unhappily, in the public impression,
the conduct of the Democratic party prior to
1879. and since its return to power in Virginia,
and the laws enacted by that party both before
and since. have been so mixed up and con-
founded with the acts Of General Malone and
his supporters that neither has been fairly
understood or Judged. Before blame or credit
can properly be awarded to either, it is neces-
sary that the facts should be correctly under
stood, and III this respect the letter of Senator
MahOne will come like a revelation to many
people at the North.
He points out in the first place, that the
Democratic party entirely controlled the State
of Virginia from its readmlssion into the
Union until 1879. This party, by the act OF
1871. openly repudiated all interest on out
standing bonds and afterward repudiated the
contract that the coupons OF the new bonds
should be receivable for taxes, and so placed
the State in q position of dishonor. of prostra-
ton in its industries and of great public discon-
tent The system of free schools went TO decay.
and the creditors of the State were denied even
that scant measure of justice which the ID sm-
ocratic party had formally acknowledged was
their due. 1t controlled the Legislature and
every department of the State, city and county
governments, and if it had meant TO pay the
debt or the interest honestly, or any part of it,
had full power. Yet the credit of the State had
been destroyed; the school fund had been
diverted to the extent Of $l,500,000; the
revenue did not meet the current expenses; the
State was delinquent in interest over So 000,-
600, and floating debt of over $2,000,0 900
had been created. This was the result of DEM
ocratic reputation.
In 1879 General Malone and his followers
came into power They proceeded to ascertain
what the entire debt with unpaid INTEREST," Of
the State of Virginia actually was. Then they
proceeded to act upon the theory that third
of this debt ought to be paid by the State OF
West Virginia, since One-third of the territory
of the old State had been by act of Congress set
apart. In support Of this view General Malone
cites facts which will be new to many, even in
the States most interested. Thus, when re-
funding to Massachusetts advances made dur
ing the Revolution, it was provided that a part
| of the sum should be paid over to Maine, in the
proportion that the territory of Maine bore TO
| the old territory of Massachusetts before divi-
