Very oneer Insurance.

The struggle between the Metropol-
itan Insurance Company OF New York
and poor dying Stephen Erich over a
$50 life insurance, is one not particu-
larly reassuring as to the good faith
which prevails in this cheap line Of
insurance business.
AS the story is told to THE JERSEY
CRY News, the company entrusted
everything to its agent when il is
sued the policy, and now that loss
is imminent it desires to disavow that
agents acts and cancel it's risks. OF
course it has a more or less plausible
story of deception to tell. Corpora
tions bent on saving their shekels
are never short OF an excuse.
But it win at least APP
pear reasonable to most people
that this company should be COM
PEELED to prove a strong affirmative
case before tits allowed to dodge it's
liabilities. If it did not take proper
precautions when it insured the mans
life it should be Obliged to prove
that he was guilty Of fraud
before it escapes paying on
his death. To show that it's
agents greed for commissions caused
him to do wrong should certainly not
operate to relieve the company that

A Well nown Jersey City Banker Puts
Another Iron on the Fire.
CHICAGO, Feb. IS. fS9l.-After negotia-
tions which have been pending year or
more the big type founders of the
country have about effected consolida-
ton of their interests. The capital in
volved is reported as IS, 00J, 900. The prin-
cipal organizers are Edward f. G. Young.
President of the First National Bank Of
Jersey City and Charles De Hart Brewer,
a prominent New York lawyer.
The establishments of uniform prices
and the protection of the printer are said
TO be the chief reasons for consolidation
of the thirty odd type foundries Mac
kellar, Smiths & Jordan, of PHILADELPHIA;
Jamer Connors' Sons, of New York: Far
mer, Little & Co, OF Cincinnati. and
Palmer & Ray, of Sun Francisco, are
prominently identified with the move
nent.
No date has been fixed for the time OF
consolidation, but the formal written con.
sents OF one-half the type founders have
already been given.

strated chat the insured was an active
party to the deception.
The offer to return the premiums
paid is, of course, sheer nonsense. If
the company does as big a business
as it claims it might easily reap a
handsome income from the moneys
paid to it for insurance but which it
insisted on returning after few years
in order to avoid losses.
We hope the LoriIlards and DR..
Gordon will push this case to the
bitter end, and ventilate the whole
subject.

JERSEY Will GET s8S0,O00 OF IT.

The Direct Tax Bill is Passed by Com
gress aud in Harrison's Hands.
speesa1 TO the SUNDAY Movni,ao Nelos.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20, 1S9i.-The Direct
Tax Bill passed both Houses today, and
is now in the hands of the President. At
the outbreak Of the Rebellion. direct
tax was levied upon all the States in the
Union. This act makes the money thus
contributed to the cost of the conflict a
loan, and authorizes its return to the
States without interest.
The bill was passed by the last Con-
gress. but President Cleveland held 1t to
be wholly inexcusable gratuity, and
vetoed it.
The act will take about $15. 900, 0o0 out
of the National Treasury. New Jersey
will get back about S3SO,00O OF the
appropriation
In his last annual message to the
Legislature, Governor Abbott counted
Tins money as one of the possible sources
from which the deficiency in the States
finances might be recouped.

Will Ask To Have Made.
Corportion Counsel Edwards and the
Tax Commissioners held conference e
yesterday, and discussed some of the pro-
visions OF the tax bill now pending In the
legislature.
The commissioners are especially op-
posed to the section which allows only
two months for the levying of assess
ments; they also are strenuously opposed
to the section which provides that all per-
sonal property shall be assessed in the city
think all personal property should be as
sessed where it is located.
The corporation counsel will appear be.
fore the legislative committee in Tren-
ton next week, and seek modification o.
the bill, so that Ill becomes a law it will
not work so disadvantageously to this
city.

Governor Hills Bad Mistake.
1t is probable that this coming
week Governor Albeit will be asked
to deliver up to the State Of Con-
neeticut q certain clerical fraud
named DIR. Charles Lewis. The fel
low has, it is believed, been arrested
in Elizabeth under the name Of
Rohmer, in compliance with teie-
gram sent out by the Chief OF Police
of New Haven.
We most earnestly hope Governor
Albeit will not repeat the mistake of
Governor Hill in refusing to acknowl-
edge the requisition of Connecticut
because it happens to be certified by q
Governor who has only de facto stand
ing in his Office.
It is absurd to pretend that the off :
GERS Of one sovereign state can pass
Judgment from common rumor, or in
any other way, upon the title by
which the ruler of another sovereign
state holds his office, and David B.
HilI's action is one of the grossest and
most fragrant violations OF the Jeffer-
sonian theory that the country has
eyer witnessed.
If the Queen of England had re-
fused to acknowledge the authority
of Rutherford B. Hayes as President
of this country, the entire American
people, without distinction OF party,
would have resented so gross an in
reference in our domestic affairs,
and yet, If the principle of
state sovereignty is indeed the
fundamental matter of our Fed
eral system, how is Governor
II ilIs conduct any less scandalous
than would be the case we imagine.
Surely the obligations which sover-
eign states are under to each other
are no less binding because the states
happen to be sister powers in one
union or federation.
So long as Buckley remains the de
facto head Of the State of Connecticut,
Governors OF other States have no
choice consistent with propriety but
to recognize him as SUCH As soon as
the people of Connecticut GUST him,
by whatever process. his right to
recognition ceases; but not until then.
The matter is one which the citizens
Of Connecticut must settle for them
selves, and absolutely nobody else has
right to interfere.
We are well assured that this view
Of the case is entertained by all
thoughtful and conservative demo
Gratis. Governor Hills course is
regarded as a matter Of cheap
clap trap. akin to many of the
other acts of his vulgar and mi s.
chievous career. OF course ii Bulk
eley--who seems to be good match
for Hill in vulgarity and smallness-
goes into the United States courts he
can enforce his requisition without
the slightest difficulty, The Consti-
tuition of the United States is manda-
tory as regards the surrender of ac-
cused criminals.
THE Newark AdUegtiser handled the
Tax bill yesterday editorially with
consummate skill and judgment. 1t
very properly asked why a bill
should have been drafted which
was hostile, and admittedly hostile
to every business interest of the Statei
Would it not have been possible te
find some plan more in consonance
with existing systems and with the
welfare of State enterprises
For onr part, we prophesy that the
natural revulsion against the mon
strosities of this bill will give the here
sizes Of Henry George huge boom.

parts.
"Repertoiringn is the latest twist to

portant part in Ship Alloy at the Park

terms with the late General Sherman for
twenty years. On Que occasion, when
Marching to the Sea- the General asked
Private Blair for light. The private
handed him his cigar, which the General
carelessly threw away after lighting his
own, and went bis way without saying a
word. Larer the private was the recipi-
ent of box of Perfectos, which Frank
says must at least have cost $50 in those
days"
