LEGISLATIVE ooINcs.
The Equalization Of Taxes Upon
Insurance Companies.

AUGUSTA, Feb. 14.-Before the Insurance
Committee this afternoon. V. Richard Foss,
ESQ.,, appeared and after making some re-
marks in regard to the equalization Of taxes
upon insurance companies, presented bill
to amend Section SO, of chapter 6, of the Re-
vised Statutes, so as to read as follows:
Section 63.-Any insurance company incorpor-
ated by State OF country, whose laws impose
upon insurance companies chartered by this State
" greater tax than is herein provided, shall pay
the same tax upon business done by 1t in THIS
Stale, in place of the tax above mentioned, pro-
vded said tax when assessed on life insurance
net amount of premiums actually received from
residents OF this State to be determined as pro-
vided in Section 90, and the insurance commits
soner may require the return upon which such
tax may be assessed to be made to him, and the
treasurer OF State may assess such tax and II IL
is not paid as provided In Section 81, the insur-
ance commissioner shall suspend the right of said
company to do business In this safe. f
Mr.. Foss says there are II foreign life in
surance companies doing business in this
State, paying to the State tax of $576l. Az
Owing to the provisions of the retaliatory
law the Massachusetts companies are
obliged to pay about $500 of this tax, or
nearly one-half While the Connecticut
and New York companies doing a very
much larger business in the State, practical
ly pay no tax. Mr.. Foss claims that this is
an unjust discrimination which should be
removed.

resolve, which explains itself, was intro
duced by Mr.. Ryder:
Resolve authorizing the Governor to appoint
commission to select and purchase site for an
insane hospital. 81 a
Resolved. That the Governor with the advice
and sent OF the Council shall appoint q board

SAVING ENVELOPES.

The st. Louis Republican, and, per-
haps, some other journals, are making
speciality of collecting ''missent and
forwarded" envelopes to show the de-
partment at Washington the demorali-
cation and bad condition of the railway
mail service as the result of the sum-
mary and wholesale election of the ex-
perienced and well-posted agents to
get in the regiments of party workers
before the civil service rules come into
effect. The collection, the st. Louis
paper claims, is swelling enormously.
The annoyance to the public inevitable
in such case would evoke much less
complaint if the pretense had not been
put forth that the changes were to re-
store displaced experts and improve the
efficiency of the service. The facts
gathered show that this was not a
truthful claim, but rather that those
who had acquired experiences and eff
cheney were thrown out simply on
partisan grounds. and the places filled
with no other regard, as rule, than to
party service.

NO RETREAT.

Mr.. RANDALL, the New York Sun,
and, perhaps, few others who have
seemed a little awry with the Demo-
cratic faith, are credited with an earn
est expression of confidence and desire
for unity in the party in the next great
contest. II this is an intimation of
WEAKNESS in hanging a leg over the
side and a purpose to stand squareiy
with both feet upon the platform built
with sound 1888 lumber. it is well. If
there is expectation of any stepping
down from the position taken for tariff
reform, there will be disappointment.
Unless party stands for some positive
idea. and embodies some conviction, it
is of little Importance that it stand at
all, except to those whom it may be able
to elevate to positions or reward with
offices. There is no other question that
can stand between the parties as
the issue for a national campaign
than the tariff. Neither as matter of
policy or principle can there be any
retreat from the ground already taken.
1t is stronger now than 1T was last No
vember, and it would have carried the
electoral as it did the popular vote then,
but for the enormous amount of money
thrown into the contest by the bene-
ficiaries of the high tax system. The
educational work has gone on since,
and will go ON the next three years. If
the Democrats cannot win on tariff
reform platform. they certainly cannot
by pandering to the interests that have
their rightful home in the Republican
party. The vast majority of the Demo-
Gratis are heartily in favor of the re-
moval OF the burdens, as far as practic-
able, that hamper production, Cypress
the agricultural interests. and prevent
the finding of broader avenues for the
industries of the country. The party is
moving in the right direction, and needs
to be bold and aggressive rather than
timid and apofogetic; go forward and
not back.

$4,000 FOR JOaNSTOWN.
The Council Votes That Amount
for the Sufferers.

DR.. Brazie, from the Johnst0wn relief
committee, moved that the council at
its meeting yesterday pledge it's faith to
raise $4,000 for the sufferers. Aid.
Vogt moved to amend to make the sum
5000. There arose a discussion subse-
quentiy whether the council was to
pledge $4,000 clear money, or to make
good any deficiency under that snm in
private subscriptions. Aid. Brueshaber
claimed the latter. Or. Brazie and Mr..
Bursell understood that the sum was to
be $4,000, and he thought it was an out
rage if Minneapolis could not do as we'll
as st. Paul, which had given $4,000. A
motion to defer action was defeated,
and also Aid. Vogt's amendment. The
original motion to appropriate $4,000
was carried, Aid. Brueshaber, Bradish,
Gray. Ingenhutt. Potter. Swanson.
Sterling, Thompson, Vogt and Warren
voting no. The citizens committee was
requested to pay the $1,000 interest that
will accrue on the note of $4,000 before
the next legislature meets. Aid. Pot

removals under it, but chronic cases of

habits. The fire department salary
question, which has been standing open
since the organization of the council,
was settled by returning to the old
schedule.

west of Chill in the South Pacific. The
people there this year celebrate the CEN
tennial of its settlement by nine mutt
neers from the British ship Bounty.
They took wives from the tanned peo-
pie of some other island, and to-day
that little island, one mile wide and

of the nine brigands. They have per-

CROP OUTLOOK.

In some places in Dakota, especially
in the hard wheat belt, it is noted from
the local papers that prayers are stated
immunity from disaster of the growing
crops, with the eye chiefly on the great
bread staple. The promise for good
crop in Dakota is excellent in the main,
and in all the spring wheat districts of
the Northwest there is much ground for
cheerfulness. The chances for serious
injury are growing fewer and smaller
every day; still there will not be entire
freedom from nervousness until the
music of the harvester swells out in the
melody of ripened fruition and abundant
possession. There have been so many
eccentricities in the processes of Nature
of late, that absolute security is not
known until the last stage in the devel-
opment is passed. The prosperity of
the Northwest hinges to greater ex-
tent than is conducive to perfect
equanimity, upon the wheat product of
this region. Much of enterprise aud
new adventure hesitates to move with

time there will be more varied reliance,
but at present the wheat is the central
figure. A generous harvest this season
will make the sunshine seem brighter
than it has been the past year or two.
The reports from the winter wheat re-
gion are not as favorable as earlier an
ticipations indicated. California has
new wheat in market and the estimates
have fallen from 100000 to 40, 600, 900
bushels. which is but little larger than
last year. Heavy rains have caused
considerable damage III Kansas and
Southern Missouri. The harvests in
South America have been poor, and the
Argentine Confederation is importing
wheat. Australia will have but about
half the crop of last year, and India is
short, with some shortage In Russia.
Western Europe will have a fair crop,
but it is probable that prices will i'm
prove on present figures.
