Insurance Troubles in New Hamp-

Insurance Troubles in New Hamp-
shire.
The Legislature of New Hampshire ap-
pears to have done a very foolish thing
when it passed the ''valued policy" in
surance law. The insurance commission
er of the State, Mr.. Pillsbury, in a letter to
a number of merchants at the State CAPT
tai says: "From the best information
Obtainable there is upward Of $40, 600. 900
insurance expiring in our State during
the next twelve months, fully One-third
of which will run out within ninety days.
Many policies have already expired, and
no insurance can be obtained on the risks
they covered. The situation is serious,
demanding immediate and decisive
action"
g An extra session of the Legislature has
been called, for the purpose, evidently, of
securing a repeal Of the law, but there is
grave doubt whether it can be induced to
undo its work. Mr.. Pillsbury says that
the law secures premium for fraud,
substitutes knavery for virtue, increases
the moral hazard without limit, Furnishes
the honest portion of a community with
increased burdens, and shields rogues
with their ill-gotten booty" This is a
pretty strong indictment, and it contains
great deal of truth.
All the foreign insurance companies
have withdrawn from the State, and the
local companies now in existence, to.
gether with those projected, cannot carry
one sixteenth of the business.
This is the sort Of an insurance law that
it was proposed to pass in this State at
the session that has just ended. 1t is
/ probable that if 1t had not been for the
vigorous protests from this and other
cities it would have passed, and thit
/ State, so far as insurance matters arc
concerned, would be in pretty much the
same condition as New Hampshire is.
But were not the insurance companies
TO blame, to some extent, for the passage
of the valued policy" law In New Hamp
shire? Had the companies always treated
their patrons justly in the adjustment Of
lossesg Generally, such legislation as
this ''valued policy law" is In response tC
a popular demand, and the demand Is
based on a grievance. But il there was a
| grievance in New Hampshire it ought
not 10 have been regarded as a sufficient
reason for passing a law that clearly en-.
cOurages knavery.

The Dude Barber Ahead.

From the WsstcheSter Villdge Record
William Brochard has q barber shop IN
Downlngton, and about a week ago he
wanted to 20 away for several days. He con-
sequently went to Philadelphia and hired a
man to work for him during his absence. The
man arrived in Downington. He was dudish-
looking in the extreme, and wore handsome
diamond ring on his little finger. On Friday
two men VINO were detectives entered tie
barber shop to get shaved. One OF them spied
the ring on the finger and RECON- zed it from
the description as one which had been stolen
in Philadelphia. The detectives winked at
one another and then got into the chairs to
get shaved, boy iathering one and the new
barber the other. Now. the dude barber had
noticed the winks OF the detectives, and was
thus put on his guard AS soon as he had his
man lathered, he said to the boy that he had
to go out for minute. lie went out and to
the house where he wss boarding, got on more
clothes, and skipned to other chimes. Mean
while the detectives sat in the chairs wait
ing TO get shaved, and also to catch the man.
But the barber came not. and the detectives
soon realized that their bird had flown,

And each new day dawns but to bless,

No cloud obscures the sunshine bright,
For life is in its June;
The steak is tender biscuit light,

Each of the other never tires,
Their fond hearts beat in tune;

Why should it end so soon?
Why cannot welded life remain

MIG Immediate DeIivery system.


The new letter delivery system has been
IN operation over two weeks, and the re-
ports from the Offices where it obtains are
not very encouraging. In very few places
heard from has 1t been patronized suti-
GENTLY to pay the messenger boys any
thing like decent wages. In great many
small cities the average earnings Of the
messengers have been less than 10 cents
per day.
SO far as the Post Office Department is
concerned, the system is working salts
factorlly as a general thing. Although it
involved the organization of new SER
vice in the Offices where it obtains, the
organization was effected without much
trouble, and it has begun with a fair de-
gree OF efficiency.
1t is, perhaps, too early to predict that
the system will, or will not be a success.
1t may be more literally patronized as it's
advantages become better known. There
is room TO doubt, however, whether it
will ever amount to much, as long as the
extra charge Of postage for immediate de-
livery is as large as at present.
Were the special stamps sold at &C.,
making the total postage on letter for
immediate delivery &C., the system would
soon become immensely popular, and
hundreds OF letters would doubtless be
transmitted under it where one is now.
Instead Of the messenger getting Sc. each
for delivering from one to half dozen
letters per day, he would get, say, &c. each
for delivering from so to 100 letters per
day. Telegraph messengers get from &c.
to &c. for each message, and make very
fair wages.
II the immediate delivery system is to
be made a permanent feature of the postal
service, 1t should be popularized and not
handicapped by the exaction of a stamp
tax that is prohibitory in ninety-nine out
of hundred cases. If the postage for
this special service is maintained at
present rates business men and others
will prefer to pay few cents more to
have their messages sent and delivered
by telegraph.
