NEW YORK LIFE.
The Herald makes Some Comments and
N ventures Some Prophecies.

I. d 4. :
The Herald Makes Some Comments and
y Il ventures Some Prophecies.
Nzw York, June 1s.-The Herald has
the followingito say in regard TO the af-
fairs Of the New York Life Insurance
Company; Within a fortnight Presi-
dent Beers, Of the New York Life Insur-
ahtei Company; viii send hisresignation
to the Board Of Trustees OF that corpor-
alton. Within sixty days the State In
surance Department will have concluded
its Investigation OF the affairs OF the
company and found them all right.
Within q week after the resignation
Of President Beers has been received,
the Board OF Trustees will refuse to ac-
cept it and willig Mr.. Beers as clean
a coat Of summer immaculateness, so far
as the company is concerned, as Super
intendent Pierce will bestow upon the
corporation.
a To. explain why Mr.. Beers resigna-
ton will be promptly declined, 1t is
only necessary to say that he has the
control OF the votes OF tlve-eighths OF
the premium holders by means OF
proxies, and this avowedly mutual COM
pany, where all are supposed to share
alike, is as close u corporation as the
Equitable Society, which has 100000
worth Of stock, most Of it being in the
possession OF President Hyde. OF
course, under these circumstances, an
insincere resignation would be theveri-
est farce, but that is what the officers
OF the company seem to be determined
to malselofTthis step.
III The feas6h'for it2 Simply to force the
credulous people to believe that the pol
icy holders of'the New York Life Insur-
ance Company have too much confidence
in President Beers to permit him to re-
sign. This is what comes OF the ex-
posurel of5the sMerzbacher detalcation.
Notwithstanding the admirable OPP
portunity the public apparently had to
discover the, true inwardness Of the
mysteries of life insurance, the insur-
ance lamb will continue to be shorn
quite after the same manner US before.
hrBut,the exposure OF the peculatious
OF one so-caiied manager, as shown by
the charges against Merzbacher, has
had the effect OF drawing attention much
closer than ever before to the methods
of these great tiduciary corporations.
The active. competition between the
larger insurance companies, was prima-
Fly the cause of the Merzbacher fail
uro. The same thing led to the adop-
ton OF the tontine system Of insurance
by the competing companies. The bet
ter understanding which the public is
likely to have within q short time of all
this intricate system depending ninety
nine cents in order to make a dollar and
sometimes missing five, is due to this
same competition which has so nearly
resulted ruinously."

The Ohio valley,s DRINKING 1yater.


The Ohio Valleys Drinking Water.
In another column the drinking water
Of the urban populations Of the Ohio
valley is dealt with in sufficient detail
to show what kind Of water it is and
how unfit for drinking. Wheeling is
not worse off than other communities
similarly situated, but, while Wheeling
has a neighborly sympathy With all
others in like case, herprivilege and her
duty lie on the side OF her own protec.
ton,
There is not ut this moment ques-
ton that presses more for immediate
consideration. A bad situation grows
worse every year, every day. The pop
ulation Of the area whose drainage we
drink is a fast increasing quantity, and
with population increase all the causes
which make the water OF the Ohio as
unfit for drinking as it well could be.
il some one can point to worse, that
will mean nothing more than that he
knows OF human beings whom fete COM
pels to run greater risks than confront
us. This does not comfort tho hearts
that mourn over deaths that come all
too soon.
Science understands well that such
diseases as typhoid fever can be pre-
vented and that impure water is fruit
ful cause Of them. Disease and death
that can be prevented should be pre-
vented. If there were no other consid-
Grafton, every life has money value.
Itshould not be necessary to argue SO
obvious point
What are we going to do about it 2
What can we do2 To temporize is to
waste time, money, life. If by going a
few miles up Wheeling creek and piping
thewateEpy gravity to the city We can
provide asufticient and wholesome sup
ply, this is the thing to do unless q bet.
ter plan can be suggested. Up to this
time no plan SO goodhas been proposed.
The INTEn1laENcER is not prepared to
say what the cost would be-. A compe-
tent engineer would easily determine
this. Pure water at almost any cost is
cheaper than impure water. The IN
rErL1aENcER will be glad to hear from
those who have ideas on this subject.
It il worthy of the best thought OF
everybody interested.

Delegates.

In. the State Convention Mt oolumbus-ThG
r. Delegates.
The Belmont county delegates to the
Republican convention all had good
time at Columbus. The last OF them
returned Inst night. While the dele
gator, was somewhat divided on several
candidates it is well satisfied with the
result. The delegates were on the ground
early and were more fortunate than
many others in securing hotel accom-
modations. All OF them had excellent
rooms. The county had one of the
most comfortable il not the most com
positioni in the convention hall.
The chairman was A. w. Mitchell, Of
st. Clairsyille, and he made an. excellent
one, fair and careful. Hon. @. L. Poor
man was member OF the Committee
on Resolutions, for which he is emf
,nentlyi fitted.
For lieutenant Governor Belmont
county cast nine votes for Harris
Griffin, two, Berjan, one, and afterwards
gave Harris the solid vote.
Samuel Campbell, OF Steubenyille, for
Treasurer, received seven, Cope four
and Davis one, The vote was all chang
Z ed for Cope. y.
l'liThe DEDICATION cast the solid vote for
Richards, OF Ironton, for Attorney
General, ditto for McNeal for Food
Commissioner.
For member OF Board OF Public Works,
seven votes were cast fort Troup, four
for Grace and one for Hall.
/. o. g. Carson, of Cambridge, for State
Commissioner OF Schools, received ten
OF the twelve votes and the delegation
aiterward voted solid for him.
At the district caucus held in the
State Treasurer's office /. H. Rose, Of
Marietta, was elected State Central
Committeeman, defeating w. w. Han
Ion, OF the Barnesville Republican, by
only two votes. These two votes were
cast by Lewis and Heinlein. Mr.. Han
lon was "at a candidate, while the
ether g nile en- made u canvass for the
very ,impo. tant and honored position.
1t was the intention OF the Belmont
county delegation sto give Hon. A. 7.
AteISelyeyy complimentary vote for
Lieutenant Governor until he asked the
delegates not to do so, saying he would
second the nomination OF Charles B.
Griffin.

oar Rnsiness With the D. 8 o.

There is some disposition to meet
every question relating to the B. & o.
with a reminder that this railroad com
pany and the city haveian old-time
grievance. Some ancient history is a
profitable study, but this chapter isn't.
Moreover the nap was worn off 1t long
since.
Whether we have business with the
B. & o. or with sombNpther intsrest, we
ought to be@ide awake enough togo at
it in business-like way, in the tight of
the interest OF to-day and tomorrow.
Any old-time disagreement profits moth
ing now as aFcSival. This is not the
sort of thing that helps a city.
In the present case the troubleis that
the railroad has its tracks where Wheel
ing does not want them. How are the
tracks to be removed and that import

suggestion, which it may intend to

Naturally there is opposition-no
solution could be suggested that would
not arouse opposition. No mattefwherc
the company might propose to lay its
tracks somebody would want them laid
somewhere else, and as far from his
own property as possible. 1t is like
the best place to have a boil-whtch ex-
periencc and science agree to be on

Prohibition and Politics In Kansas.
Kansas Republicans are getting their
hll Of prohibition. Tho fact that the Al
lance people dodge the question is q
mir to middling indication that the
sturdy farmer, who was supposed to be
for prohibition above all things else, has
some other views OF life.
II isprobable that the next conyen-
ton OF Kansas Republicans will not re-
affirm the prohibition planks OF other
years. Nor would it startle all Kansas
IL the prohibition question were at AN
early day to be resubmitted to the peo-
pie to give them q chance to undo what
they have doneon this line.
Ifitbe thought fair to submit a con-
stitutional amendment in favor of Pro
hibition it cannot be unfair tO submit a
proposition looking in the other direc-
ton. The people who do can undo.
