PosTMoRTEM REGULATION.

The State Insurance Commissioner has
lately published some very forcible remarks
with regard TO the wrecking of the Ameri-
can Life Insurance Company of Phila-
delphia. In addition to the assertion that
the company has long been engaged in
freezing out policyholders it is declared that
1.-THE financial control of the corporation
was committed TO coterie of the most
reckless and visionary spectators, who
loaned the money of the company to them
selves upon the stocks and bonds of corpor-
ations with which they were affiliated" As
the Philadelphia Ledger pertinently re-
marks, these are "brave words, but why
were they not uttered before the public had
learned all about it." The purpose of the
Insurance Commissioners official existence
is supposed to be. in the interest of the
public, to prevent dishonest and reckless
management on the part Of insurance cor
porations Had the commissioner by virtue
of his official powers discovered and e1-
posed these bad practices before the Ameri-
can Life was wrecked, he would have vindi-
Gated the usefulness of his Office much more
thoroughly than he has done by his post
mortem expose.

State. When il comes to matter of profits,
no doubt, the gentlemen from Louisiana can
claim exclusive consideration. None Of the
plunder gets away from the octupus in New
Orleans. The State of Louisiana is practi-
cally the property of the lottery company.
Is the United States?
This is where Congress might step in with
propriety. The postofice department is at
present the agent, unwillingly, of the lot
terry. Judge Gresham was the last Postmas-
ter General to fight the lottery, and although
his efforts were only partially successful he
was confident that with the support of Con-
gress the postoffice department could crush
the pestilential traffic. There is need for
more severe laws against the passage of lot
terry correspondence through the mails. Con-
gress can and should pass these laws, and
Postmaster General Wanamsker can earn
fame and the gratitude of the nation by agi-
tating the question forcibly at Washington.
The administration which destroys the Lou
isians State Lottery, root and branch, will
not have to make any other record to estab-
lish its claim upon the good will of the peo-
nla

ON THE HoME.sTRETCH.

But two weeks are to elapse before the Re-
publican Convention to nominate Govern
or, and the canvass is heating up with the
weather. Chiefly is this the case in the
Eastern counties, where strained relations
are manifesting themselves conspicuously
among the followers OF Delamater and Hast
ings. The Crawford county man made the
running at first, and until lately showed
clear daylight between himself and his COM
petitors, providing only that his claims as
to delegates were transparently correct. But
several of these claims are now disputed;
and the county conventions of this month,
which were to make Delamater's calling and
nomination sure, have mostly turned out the
other way. Hastings and Montooth have
gone forward, and Delamater's chances on
the home-stretch do not look at all SO good
as they did little while ago.
Everybody seems TO concede that the in
fuence and personal following of Senator
Quay will, in so close contest, be able to
decide the winner. The opponents of Quay
are probably the loudest in asserting this,
because if he should make a mistake in
sirable candidate, they would not be sorry
to see him saddled with the responsibility.
On the other hand, the supporters of the
Senator do not deny the soft impeachment,
since it is, in their view, testimony of his
prestige, and they would be equally desirous
OF claiming for him much of the credit of
victory, should he pitch upon a winner.
d. aek
sets to the Delamater canvass, and the sa-
gacity which Quay usually shows in the
practical politics which consists in placing
his influence where it is not efective-the
probabilities increase that not Mr.. Della
mater, but some other man, will yet head the
ticket. Nor will it, in any. event, be ga
dark horse" The dark horse" experiment
in Allegheny was a sample of what would
be .elt over the State, if strange equine
were permitted to gallop away with the
prize. The signs, if anything, give hope to
Montooth. By siding with the Allegheny
candidate who is already strong, Quay can
not only pick a sure winner, but strengthen
his own followers greatly in the West.
OF course the Beaver statesman may prefer
to stake the future on the uncertain risk Of
Delamater-though in such event, if he look
for victory, it must be with a reduced major
ity whose significance can afford him no
room for pleasure. But, leaving out of &C.
count the extraordinary motives which may
influence the course of the Senator and OF
the convention. and looking at the situation
merely through the glasses which politicians
ordinarily use, Delamater's prospects to-day
would seem the least promising and Mon
tooth's about the best, or at least as good as

RIFLES FOR WALKING.

Mr.. Ward McAllister says that no man
of fashion will walk in the street with a
shabby person or one whose social position
is inferior to his own. This opens up end
less difficulties for the man OF fashion.
When he walks abroad he will have to walk
alone generally. The men who are not of
fashion will not be eligible to walk beside
him, and the men of fashion will be follow
ing the rule on their own account, and will
abjure his society. For Ward McAllister
it will be especially hard. He will not
walk with his interiors in social position.
and he knows no equals. He is doomed to
solitude by his own edict. This is terrible.
The climax will come some day when
some shabby fellow who is Mr.. Ward Nc
Allister's social superior shall refuse to
walk with him.

LOOK OUT FOR THE LOTTERYI

It looks as if the louisiana State Lottery
were going to get new lease of life. In
New Orleans friend of the lottery corpora
ton was elected the other day to fill a
vacancy in the Legislature. 1t cost about
thirty thousand dollars to elect him; but
that's q trifing bagatelle to the lottery
promoters. No doubt the vanished robbers
who are after more loot will pay on the
same scale for every vote they need. The
legislators can hardly be expected to be more
yirtuous than the men who elect them, and
the prospect of bribery winning the day in
the Louisiana Legislature is very bright
The fact is that the lottery has poisoned the
whole State. The taxpayers, who could
prevent the preparation of this shameful
abuse, are dazzled by the offer of a million
dollar bribe annually for twenty-five years.
Louisiana being content to sell her honor,
does it follow that the United States must
share her shame? Hardly. The interest of
Louisiana in the matter is picayune COM
pared to what the country at large has at
stake. BY the testimony OF the managers OF
the lottery only three per cent of the total
receipts were flched from Louisianisns; the
ninety-seven per cent came from outside the

changes as he may make himself, he must be

In the absence Of q full report of this de-
cision il is somewhat difficult to imagine the
method by which the Court came to disre-
gard the obvious rule that the law should be
construed in accordance with the constitu-
tional right of the voter to vote as he
pleases. But with such q decision
as that on record, under one of the
ballot reform laws already enacted, it is
plain duty in framing future legislation
to avoid any provisions which can be con-
strued into having that effect. To fo-bid
the casting of a vote except for one of the
regular political parties is equivalent to
disfrauchising independent voters, to plac-
ing ban on the formation of new parties
and to reducing the freedom of popular suf-
frage to farce. A vote which could only
be exercised for one or the other of the tick
cts nominated by the regular political ma
chimes would not be worth having. 1t is
impossible to have much respect for judge
who in constituting such law could fail to
perceive that to give it that effect would
make it uncons titutional.
IF any ballot reform has the effect of linn
iting the right of independent voting, 1t is
ballot reform with the reform left out.

Under the ruling no ballot can be counted
unless it is marked with the caption of one
Of the recognized political parties. By strict
construction of the law, and not on account
of fraud, all the citizens tickets voted at the
Hartford election were ordered to be thrown
out, and the practical declaration is made
that if man is not satisfied TO vote one or
the other of the regular tickets, with such

THE CANALS PROSPECTS.

The Erie Canal Commission, at its meet
ing Yesterday, decided to continue the sur
yey for the canal from Rochester to the
Davis Island dam. This is, of course, in the
interest of further and exact Information on
all branches of the scheme.
But we do not apprehend that it will be
necessary to actually extend the canal along
the Ohio river. Ii is likely to be found
more economical to obtain an increased
depth of water in the river by dredging or
by making the proposed dams higher than
to build canal along its shores, while the
usefulness of the former course would be
much greater. An eight or nine-foot river
to Beaver would be quite as important for
river navigation as for connection with the
lakes.
In the meantime, as the feasibility of the
canal project becomes more apparent, the
enmity of the railways to such projects be-
comes more active. The corporate influence
in Maryland has procured a report against
he preservation of the Chesapeake and Ohio
1anal, based upon such premises as that the
ailroads can furnish cheaper transportation
Tor coal freights than canals can! A similar
disposition to rise superior TO facts is evinced
in efforts manifested in this city to discredit
the project of water connection with Lake
Erie.
The work so far has been wholly in the
way OF obtaining practical and reliable in
formation as to the feasibility of the scheme.
That point is now made clear and estimates
as to the cost of the work are all that are
needed to determine whether Pittsburg
shall go actively to work to secure this great
water way.

A SPORADIC CAsR.

The report of the case of sporadic cholera
in Soho may very easily be magniied into
a matter of greater importance than really
belongs to it. Such cases are heard of al
most every summer, and are wholly distinct
from the epidemics which work their way
around the world, from east to west. With
Europe entirely free from the epidemic, it is
practically impossible for the Asiatic
cholera to be transferred to this country, and
no fears Of an epidemic need be entertained.
Nevertheless, the fact that a sporadic case
occurs thus early in the heated term, affords
a most powerful argument in favor of q
careful diet and thorough sanitation.
