Big Earnings.

The defalcatiou of Julio Merzbaoher, an
agent of the New York Life Insurance
Company, for 1870, 900, and the statement OF
the company that it would lose nothing. be-
cause the amount would be made up in a
few years out of Merzbacher's commissions,
calls attention to the enormous earnings of
some life insurance agents.
1t is said that some of them make all the
way from $50, 600 to $50, 900 year. a COM
pany must do an enormous and very
profitable business to pay commissions that
will permit its agents to earn such extraor-
binary incomes.
The question arises whether insurance
could not be furnished cheaper, or whether
fees should not be less and the surplus earn
ings returned to the policy holders.
The money received by life insurance
companies is in the nature of a trust fund,
and should not be disbursed to agents and
officers with too lavish hand. Agents
should, of course, be paid according to
their ability, and they should be literally
paid, but there is no reason why life in
surance agent should be paid 80 literally as
to euabie him to make an income greater
than that Of the President of the United
States or that of leading professional and
business men. And the agents who do the
work are not the ones who are so hand
somely paid. The men who get the big in
comes are the favored ones who do COM
paratively little work.

Brief. But to the Point.

Speaking of selfconfldence, said James
Chisholm, the veteran dramatic critic to the
Chicago Post, at the Leland cafe last evening,
reminds me of an incident in which old man
Storey, of the Times and a new city editor
figured. / was on the editorial staff at the
time. The new executive had begun work the
day before and an article which he had prided
himself was a scoop brought letter from q
wrathful citizen upon whom this article re-
hected and who declared that unless a retrac-
ton was made in the next issue he would sue
the paper for $4,000. Considerably crestfallen
that his first days work should get the paper
into a libel suit the new executive
hesitated a long time whether to re-
tract or no. Unable TO decide he as
@ last resort ventured into StoreV's room and TO
that potentate told his tale. The old man, VINO,
as usual, was reading his paper, never in
Dictated after his first glance either that he
heard the tale or that the city editor was in the
room After a considerable pause the city edi-
tor repeated his tale, but Storey continued to
read The new executive waited for him to
finish an article in hopes that he would speak
But when he saw the potentate pass on and on
he coughed and in tones which indicated that
he would not be surprised were he to be dis
charged, said:
The man says he will sue the paper for
$4,000 if don't Uetract. What shall l do?'
''Old Storey waited till he had finished a
paragraph: he then, without looking at his new
employe. replied:
'''Tell him to go plump to -"

Clevsland's Strength in Georgia.

1t is safe to say that M Cleveland is the
choice of the great majority of the Georgia
editors for President. AT the meeting of the
Georgia Press Association in Atlanta this
week the Journal of that city undertook to
find out the preference of the editors for the
democratic nomination for President and
what issue they thought should be the lead
ing one in the presidential campaign.
Eighteen of the editors responded to the in
auiries. Eleven were for MIR. Cleveland.
three against Mr.. Cleveland and four
refused to express a preference. Nine
thought tariff reform should be the leading
issue, two placed free silver coinage at the
front, and seven said that they regarded
tariff reform and free silver coinage of
equal Importance.
If these eighteen represent the editors Of
the state fairly aud it is probable they do,
the press of Georgia is overwhelmingly in
favor of Mr.. Cleveland. And the press ex-
presses the sentiments of the people. Geor =
gians admire an honest, straightforward
mana man whom they can trust-and they
know MIR. Cleveland TO be such a man. He
has been tried and not found wanting in
any respect.

All in the Family.

Gen. John B. Dennis, chief clerk of the inter
nal revenue Office, was one of the first to enlist
in the famous Sixth Massachusetts, says the
Omaha World Herald. Behind the well-devel-
oped form of Dennis stood slender young
man whose hands seemed to be itching for the
clutch of the patriotic musket. AS the long
limo Of volunteers. each enlisting by turn,
sursed, Gen. Dennis fell back and stepped
squarely on the toe Of the young man behind
him.
Dennis.
''Thsts all right-its all in the family now. IS
replied the young man, az he rubbed his injured
foot.
''That's pretty good" said Dennis with a
smile. 1T is all in the family now, sure
enough. My name Is John B. Dennis. What S
your name?"
MY name is Church Howe, sir. and hope
I'll know John B. Dennis better" replied the
young man, as the two grasped bands.
The wish was fulfilled at Baltimore, when the
famous sixth Massachusetts," faced the storm
of stones and missiles in the big riot. Dennis
and Howe marched shoulder to shoulder. And
now when the statesman from Nehama and
the courteous veteran of the revenue depart
ment meet there is some good old fashioned
hand shaking done.

Gold Nerve.

We've got bank clerk up in our neck o.
woods who some day will give Jay Gould cards
and spades in the game of financiering and beat
him to a standstiH," says Mortz Curren of
Cheyenne TO the Leader. Hes only 10 years
old, but he's hummer. Two or three months
ago, while the president Of the bank was away,
the cashier was taken SICK and in a few hours
was in delirious state The young Napoleon
was left In sole charge of the bank. Some evil
disposed person started the story one afternoon
that the institution was in bad way and inti-
mated that the president had skipped the coun-
try, and that the cashiers illness was only a
bluff Before night it was evident there would
be run on the institution the next morning,
The young clerk knew there was scarcely money

but he acted promptly. He called on the lead
ing hardware merchant and held brief con-
ference. Then this young Napoleon went
depositors awaiting him. He did not wait for
them 70 speak but made this bluff: II refuse
to discuss business with you. There will be
$4,000 in gold here in the morning and there is
every dollar you have deposited, and we'll be
glad to get rid of your small accounts. Then
he turned on his heel and left the committee.
Bright and early there assembled at the bank
the creditors. Just before time for opening
the doors an express wagon was driven up, in
which were seated two heavily armed men,
one OF them the Waterman Of the bank.
pathway through the crowd was made and
the Waterman began carrying into the bank
canvas bags containing gold coin,
as Indicated by the prominent marks:
Some of the bags were marked
IS, 0O0,' and one or TWO $1,000 The people
saw these bags. heard the chink Of the metal
and, believing the bank was X, were about to
move away. Just as the last bag of gold was
handed into the door the young t1nancler threw
the bank open. The crowd did not make any
effort to reach the paying teller's window.
Come 10 now, every ona of you shouted the
clerk. No one responding, he mads another
bluff. You must come and get your money
We don't want your id accounts any more.
Here, Jim BARLEY, take this and sign this re-
ceipt in full. Here, Bill Wyman, come and get
your dust He insisted on their taking the
money. Just at this juncture the
committee came in and begged
the clerk to stop, for Gods sake
They almost got down on their knees to ask the
bank to Keep their money The young 'Napo-
leon finally consented, but declared that if
there ever ANY more d-n nonsense he
would throw every depositors money into the
street. The crowd departed happy and conf

situations of its kind in America. Their conf
dence might have been shaken had they known
the canvas bags marked '$5, 600 gold etc., and
bedaubed with red sealing wax contained moth

Flowers Boom.

1t looks very much as IL Roswell P.
Flower would be the next democratic can
didate for governor of New York. There
is strong and growing sentiment in his
favor among the democrats of the state
1t Is asserted that Gov. Hills friends favor
him. and it is blieved that Mr.. Cleveland's
friends are not opposed to him.
Mr.. Flower is an able man and a good
democrat. he has been accused of having
presidential aspirations. And it would not
be surprising IL he should loom up as a can
didate for the democratic presidential nomi-
nation in 1896. The only thing against him
is his wealth, which is estimated at &c, 0OO,-
600, but even alliancemen would not find
much difficulty in overlooking that objec-
ton, because he is so generous with his
money.
AS representative in congress he made a
splendid record. He was not a speech
maker. and it was not often that his voice
was heard in the House, but his influence
was felt in legislation, and it was always
felt on the right side. He was seldom abb
sent from the meetings of his committee,
and the real work of congress is done in the
committees
Unselfish. and cordial in bis manners, he
makes friends rapidly, and he retains the
| friends he makes. 1t is seldom that one
hears an unkind word said of Mr. Flower.
The reason is that he is true to his princi-
pies and to his friends. He would like to be
governor of New York. and he would like
to be President, but if he reaches either of
those positions it will be by means that
| every honest man can approve.
The contest for the democratic guberna-
torial nomination in New York will have
an important bearing upon the contest for
the democratic nomination for President,
and that is why it is attracting so much
attention. II Mr.. Flower is nominated for
governor and elected he will have much in
huence in determining who shall compose
the New York delegation to the national
democratic convention, and that delegation
will be powerful factor in deciding who
shall be the democratic candidate for Presi-
| dent

Lively times are in prospects for the
htigants before the scramble for the
millions left by A. 7. Stewart are finally
concluded. just now the interchange of
vigorous compliments is between Judge
Billion and Gen. Ben Butler. Each one
bluntly accuses the other Of more or less
disreputabls motives. But the fight for
the money goes on. Those who know Gen.
Butler know that nice computations do not
deter him from making q grab at whatever
strikes his fancy, and Judge Hilton is said
to be man of quite as liberal views. So
there will probably be but little public
sympathy wasted on either side. Still it's
very interesting contest.
