The action of the State Insurance Com
missioner in calling attention to the work
of sharpers in the State who are selling
bogus insurance policies outside of it, is
praiseworthy. The Commissioners letter
elsewhere shows that at least couple of
firms in Philadelphia are engaged in Sc
curing insurance-of course, at cheap rates
and issuing policies purporting to he
from companies of large resources, which
have no genuine existence. They keep
their operations outside of Pennsylvania
with the idea that by so doing they escape
the penalties of the insurance laws.
If this view is correct, as the Commits
sioner seems to intimate, his action in CIV
ing publicity to the systematic swindle,
will greatly limit its field of operations.
But it is not so sure that the business does
not come under the ordinary criminal laws
of the State. On the facts set forth the
money obtained is received within the
jurisdiction of the courts, and is secured
through false representations with regard
to the alleged companies issuing the poll
cies. A vigorous criminal prosecution
should test the question whether the regu-
lar business of swindling described by the
Commissioner can be prosecuted with i'm
punity in Pennsylvania.

A NEW DEPARTURE TRULY.

In every aspect John Dalzell's an
nouncement of his candidacy for the Sem
ate is cheerful new departure in Penn
sylvania politics. Whether he get it or
not-and the chances against a practi-
toner of Senator Quay's experience are
none too rosy-Dalzell will at least prove
that man can have the courage to eX-
press his aspirations and still live in this
State The current idea has been rather
the opposite. There were not fewer than
10 or Is prominent Pennsylvanians who
believed in their hearts last winter that
they would bring more ability to the Sen
ate than Don Cameron, yet not one Of
them had courage enough to announce
himself candidate. They were willing
TO be ''struck by lightning" and several
would have been glad to get there posi-
bly, by Senator Quay's favor, but none
dared avow the ambition without pri-
yate understanding of support from
headquarters.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that to
those accustomed to severe repression,
knowing no path to public post except by
the will of ''party managers, =" the attitude
of Dalzell should look like sheer audacity.
But to everybody who thinks the political
arena should be open to all comers, with
no pre-empted rights expressly for indi-
vIduals, the open candidacy of Dalzell is a
reAeshing sign. If it result in still other
candidates. of competent men, so much
better. Important as it is to get an able
Senator, the most important thing of all
Is to encourage appeals directly to the peo-
pie when men wish office, in place of
rack door interviews with managers who
are supposed to pull the wires.
Perhaps another good result of the new
order of things will be an improved Legis-
iature for Pennsylvania. When public
attention is fixed on men to legislate, it
may result in choosing citizens with re-
spect to their intelligence, their capacity,
and their views on public questions, in
place of taking mere automata with no
opinions of their own, and useful only to
enact into law the will of individuals to
whom they render first allegiance and
whose tools they are willing to be.
1t may, or it may not, be Dalzell who
will represent Pennsylvania in the Senate.
THE DISPATCH does not overestimate the
plucky little Congressman chances. But
il is to Dalzell that at least credit is due
for the first conspicuous Illustration of
political courage on the Republican side
since Wolfe and Stewart and their asso-
ciates headed the gallant independent
fight of 81 and $50.

PRIVATE DALzEL1's CHRISTMAS e1F1
He Furnishes Proof That the Government
Is Doing Its Duty.

In spite of the denials widely published
that the soldiers generally have valid and
collectable claims, in small sums of S. to $50
each, for commutation OF rations while on
furlough, extra duty pay and communication
transportation home at discharge, Private
Dalzell repeats his statements of two years
ago and furnishes The DISPATCH with abund-
ant evidence of an original and irrefraga-
BILE character from the departments at
Washington that hundreds of these very
claims have been allowed and paid within
the last year, and are fully recognized by
the proper officials as entirely legal and
proper. The truth of this statement is
fully vouched for by documents forwarded,
and cannot be questioned any longer.
The Private advises all soldiers who have
not done so to at once address the Quarter
master General, the Third Auditor, the Sec
ond Auditor and Comnlissary General of
Subsistence and obtain the million and
more dollars justly due them. No attorney
is needed. and tie application should be
made direct to the proper officers aforesaid.
This, he adds, is his gift of 81 000, 900 more
to his comrades for Christmas, 1891.

AN INVESTIGATION ASSURED.

The return of indictments by the Grand
Jury in the cases of Mayor Wyman, ex-
Mayor Pearson and Market Clerk Hastings,
of the Allegheny City government, makes
another step toward reaching decisive
verdict concerning the Northside munich
pal scandals
The charges are of the gravest character
and require the legal investigation thus as
sured. Of course, pending the trial, it is
not within the province of the press to de-
clare the guilt or innocence of the accused
officials. 1t is only necessary to say that
if a thorough trial proves the charges are
true, full legal punishment shall follow; if
Alntrue, the accused shall be declared free
from the stain that now attaches through
them.
This is the correct course with regard to
all charges of official misconduct. There
is no surer incentive to official honesty
than the assurance of legal punishment if
guilty and legal vindication if innocent.

MORE MONEY THAN NEEDED.
rhe Banks Hold More Than Nineteen
Millions of Dollars.

The Banks Hold More Than Nineteen
Millions of Dollars.
Correspondence Philadelphia Public Ledger.I
There Is now more money in New York
than there is need for. The banks hold over
SIS, 600 more than the law requires them
to. Money is flowing in from the interior
and being distributed by the Government.
With the supply abundant, the demand has
been small. The SPECTATORS have needed
little, and the merchants even less Rates
have declined to very low figure, and If
you want any money now, and have good
collateral, you can get it almost on your own
terms. The situation is indeed remarkable
in this respect. In a few days the corpora
tions and the Government will begin the
distribution OF over 800 600 900 in interest
and dividends, thus adding to the sum Of
money seeking investment.
Bankers are complaining that they "have
never known such dull time" It looks
however, rs if a use would soon be found for
the surplus money. There is a notable de-
mand for investment securities. The sales
o bonds show this. In the Stock Exchange
alone over SH, sec, COO of bonds wore dealt in
last week. and there is no record kept of the
amount sold cover the counter OF the bank
ing houses 1t would not be surprising if
spectators took advantage of the plethora
of money and the big earnings and increased
dividends of the railroads to start another
over. That's the talk in Wall street. But be-
fore there can be boom there must be
willing public. There is certainly every in
dication OF a revival of activity, but things
don't always happen just as they are eX-
pected in Wall street.

CUTTING RATES IN TWO.

The recent row created in the branch of
the insurance business devoted to railroad
risks, by one company leaving the pool
and canceling its policy. contains an inter.
esting avowa! One insurance man who
remained faithful to the pool gives this
item of history in connection with the
affair. A few years ago, he says, this
company desired to get soms of tia bus.-
ness controlled by the pool, and to do SO
''they cnt the rates in two" "The resul:
was, he continues, "they were take-a into
the pool"
Exactly. Here we have the condensed
statement of the purpose and inspiration
of what is paraded so widely as the ruin
Gus results of competition, In the insur-
ance business, as in the railway world, we
have all heard of the way in which things
would 90 to ruin if left to the free action
of the same force that regulates ordinary
avocations. But the fact is that insurance
rates, like railway rates, illustrate that
ruinous cuts are only made with view to
forcing division of combination plunder.
The insurance company "cut the rates in
two" because it expected to retrieve the
loss out of the profits of pool That is
the inspiring motive of all such cuts. The
expectation is often disappointed, as in
this case, where the insurance company in
question has finally withdrawn from the
business altogether. But in this one in
stance we find exemplified the genesis Of
all the ruinous competition of which SO
much is heard.
The ruinous nature of such cut rates is
plainly due to combination, and not to
competition Where competition is free be-
yond hope of restricting it, rates 60 down
gradually, and the resor. of cutting them
in two is never heard Of

MRS DAVIS AFTER HER ROYALTIES.
Complaint Filed Against the Publishers of
Her Husband's Memoirs.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2L-[SpeciaL l-Hoadly,
Lauterbach & johnson, attorneys for the
widow of Jefferson Davis, submitted to-day,
in the Superior Court, complaint against
Robert Belford and Edward Lange, of The
Trow Printing and Book-bindiny Company.
The plaintiff affirms that ON March she
signed q contract with Robert Belden, by
which he was to have the publication of her
husbands .oirs, she to receive royalty
of 1871 per cent on each copy sold, state
ments and adjustments to bo made every
three months. Edward Lange agreed to act
as surety to the amount of S1O,O00 In Mrs
Davis typewriter duplicates the personal
contract was dated March 24, $780, and the
surety March 4, 1890, whereas, according to
the plaintiff, both papers were signed
March4
The plaintiff claims that only one state
ment was made, showing s, ITO copies of the
work to have been sold, which would en-
title her to royalty of s., 900 81. She prays
the court to declare judgment to this
amount against Belford: also Judgment
against Lange for the amount of his surety,
SIG 900. She further prays the court to de-
clare the contracts null and void, and owing
to the insolvency of both the defen dants, to
issue an inj JUNCTION restraining the further
publication or transfer Of the pub
fishing of the book. The defendants
demurred to the complaint, and with the
understanding that briefs were to be hand
ed in few days, Judge Dugro reserved his
decision.

UNOFFICIAL CHILEAN NEWS.

The report from Valparaiso that mes
sage has been received by the Chilean
Government from Secretary Blaine stating
his belief that the Valparaiso trouble can be
peacefully adjusted must not be accepted
as an official fact. During all the events
which have convulsed Chile for the past
twelve-month the inability of nearly
every one, from the United States Minis
ter down, to send truthful statements to
this country has seriously interfered with
a correct understanding of the relations OF
the two nations.
Secretary Blaine may have expressed a
hope to Senior Montt that peaceful solu-
ton of the dispute is possible. which could
be exaggerated or perverted into the pa
cific assurance represented in the report
Buthe can hardly have made the repre-
sented statement of his confidence that
an amicable settlement is assured. The
situation is on its face too serious to give
any foundation for such confidence. The
affair, which might have been honorably
adjusted in the first place, has been ag
gravated by hotheads on both sides until
it is difficult to see any way out except by
a distinct change of attitude on one side
or the other THE DISPATCH has been
frank in pointing out the need of assur-
ance that the dispute has not been COM
.plicated by injection of personal feeling
on our side, and it is no less plain some OF
the Chilean deliverances have been
prompted more by enmity than by strict
desire to do international justice.
Secretary Blaine is right in seeking a
peaceful solution of the trouble, and the
new Government of President Montt may
afford that possibility. But neither a
peaceful settlement nor a victory in case of
war will be at all advanced by indulgence
in brag and buster on either side.
