OF his family after his death. should not
receive the same protection IS the man q.
who deposits his money in savings
bank subject to his order. Insurance
companies when we'll conducted are a
great blessing to their members, but
when badly managed are curse to the
members, as we'll as those in charge.
II the of6csrs of the Northern Legion OF
Honor ever engaged in any crooked
work We hope they will receive their
just deserts. In passing GA the fnan-
clal condition of the company. Mr..
Dearth reports the following which is
self explanatory:
s.My examinations show that the total
amount received on account of the bene-
fit fund from the commencement Of bus
mess in 1886 to Oct. 80, 1891, is ST., $780,
81. OF this one-ffth, or $3,572 Oh
belongs to the reserve fund. leaving
$14, 283,17 in the benefit fund with
which to pay losses. The total amount
paid for losses up to October 80, 1891, is
$3.50, SO 81, leaving balance to the Gre.
dit of the benefit fund of 81 228. 06.
These two amounts make total Of 3d.
800. 70, for which the society has practi-
cally not a dollar to show, the same
having been illegally used or disposed
of by the officers in charge. Under the
laws of the state they are liable to criml-
nal prosecutions for misrepresentation OF
moneys intrusted to their care by mem
bers OF the Northern Legion of Honor.
There is not single record to show that
even dollar Of the reserve fund has
ever been invested III accordance with
the by laws, but the records Go show
that every dollar OF said fund has been
of in fragrant violation of the
bylaws aud constitution, which, in the
eyes of the laws Of Minnesota, is nothing
more nor less than highway robbery"
This is certainly very bad state OF
affairs, Insurance companies should
not be allowed to prey upon the public
at will. They should be we'll watched,
and punished severely if caught doing
business contrary to the laws Of the
state. Minnesota is not the only state
in the country that has had many sad
by coming in contact with
bogus insurance companies. We hope
chat the men who are responsible for this
condition Of affairs in the Northern
Legion Of Honor will be made to dance
to some good fiddler for their actions.
We are confident that County Attorney
Than will do his duty in the matter,
and that if there is any way of convict"
ing the officers of the company, he will
see that justice is done them.

BOGUS INSURANCE COMPANIES.

BOGUS INSURANCE COMPANIES.
We are likely to have some very lively
overhauling Of life insurance companies
in Minnesota, and the sooner the better.
A few days ago, Elmer H. Dearth, dep
uty insurance commissioner Of Mime
sofa, investigated the affairs of the
Northern Legion Of Honor of Minneapo-
lis, and returned a most astonishing re-
port. His findings. according to to the
report published, showed that there
were no assets at all, and that the liab1l-
tiles amounted to 81, 500. This report
I the deputy commissioner forwarded to
the county attorney Of Hennepin county,
MI. Than. for him to look into and
prosecute the guilty parties if he saw
evidence therein sufficient to convict.
There are thousands Of just such insur-
gance companies il this coun Try, and the
so,olner they are got rid q the better.

INVESTIGATIONS.

Investigations are divided into two
classes: Investigations that investigate
and Investigations thaE do not investi-
gate. Both are more or less expensive,
and are more easily begun than closed
NO. We would put the present pump
investigation under the head Of 1n7esti-
cations that do not Investigate. Several
meetings. have been held by the 1nvesti-
eating committee at which some Of the
members were not present, and did not
seem disturbed in the least over that
fact. These several meetings have prao-
tically developed nothing, except bill
of expense, and great deal of poor
advertising for Minneapolis in sending
out bad reports about the big pumps at
Shingle Greek. These pumps, everyone
knows, who knows anything about chat
new station, have been working under
great disadvantage ever since they start
ed. The city ia it's anxiety to keep out
the West side pumping plant put the
new pumps to work without having a
sufficient main connection. These
pumps were guaranteed $4,000, 600 gal
Ion pumps by the Warrington men, and
they have done better than thaS since
they were set up. The night of the big
fire In the North Star Boot and Shoe
Company's building on Third street
north, the West side plant was shut
down and the big pumps at Shingle
Creek did all the work, and they did it
well. Somespeople Object to the pumps
because they broke down couple Of
times during the past three years. OF
course these pumps are not beyond
breaking down, and the man who sup
poses they ought to run fer ages without
o break, must be 8 fool Less than a
year ago the Minneapolis Street Railway
Company put in some OF the finest ma
chinery that was ever made in their
central power house, and last Saturday
morning it was disabled by break.
and had it not beer that 3 relief engine
was prepared to help out, We would all
have been obliged to get along without
street cars since chen. Now the men
who bring discredit upon the city in this
investigation should consider these
things and see what conclusion they |
will come to. The expenses OF this IN
vestigation will, no doubt. be quite
large. This thing OF ordering investiga- !
lions because some alderman or city !
official think they ought to have them,
is all nonsense. There should be some !
thing to investigate before appointing a
committee and empowering it is incur
unlimited expenses. The city treasury
has got no more money than will be
to meet the necessary expenses
Of the city, and whenever such CON-
mittee as the one now IN session are ap.
pointed, they should be limited in the
amount of expenses they incur.

ST. PAUL WILL WIN.

! Since Minneapolis captured the Re
publican National Convention the princi
pal cities in the country are out hustl,ne
for the Democratic convention. In adj
dition to st. Paul, there are Milwaukee,
| indianapolis, st. Louis, Omaha and
several other cities besides, each Of
which says it is entitled to the honor.
| It seems to lis that the proper place for
that convention would be St. Paul.
This city says 1t is ready to build hall
that will seat $4,000 people, and raise
$4,000 to defray the expenses Of the
convention. In connection with Mime
apolis it can take care of all the visitors,
and the same arguments that were used
by Senator Washburn against any other
city than Minneapolis getting the Re
publican National Convention will also
hold good for St. Paul in the case of the
Democratic Convention. II the repub-
llcans consider minneapolis good place
to hold their National Convention be-
cause of the unsettled state of the politi-
cal market in the North vest, then why
not take advantage of this unsettled
state of affairs by holding the Demo-
cratic Convention here too. There is no
doubt but that National Convention
has more OF less Influence on the voters
in the locality where the convention is
held and for that reason the Democratic
National Committee should send she
convention Norrhwestward. Minnesota
IS now a doubtful state, and the two
Dakotas cannot boast Of a large Republi-
can majority; while Wisconsin, Montana
and other neighboring states are all right.
Yes, bring the Democratic convention
to St. Paul by all means. Minneapolis
is always willing to keep those who
keep themselves, and as St. Paul is
making rapid progress in the raising of
that necessary money, the people of that
city can depend upon Minneapolis doing
her duty IN the premises. Some St.
Paul people do not seem to care whether
they get the convention or not, and to
those people we would say that they had
better move cut to the country where
progress is slow in securing conventions.
But we think that in the course of few
days these indifferent ones will be as
active in the canvass as the present lead
ers. st. Paul is just the place for such
q convention. There are many reasons
why the Democratic Convention should
come to st. Paul and the National Com
mittee will be made acquainted with
these in due course Of time. st. Paul
has the honor Of having one of her
Democratic leaders member OF the Ma
tional Committee. just as Minneapolis
had on the Republican side.

As BETWEEN THEM

1t is an unctuous cud the Democrats
are chewing-their pretended belief
that Secretary blaine and President
Harrison are not en- rapport, because
OF the pretensions of Blaine's friends
In the matter Of the next presidential
nomination. The Republican party
knows what It is about, aud in conyen-
tlon assembled will do that which is
best for the party and the republic.
1t will nominate the next president,
and il will choose whomsoever seems
best TO il. The assumption of strained
relations between the president ana
the secretary has apparently no other
foundation whatever TO rest upon
than the imagination of its authors,
or than the wish which is father to
the thought.
Public men occupying such distin-
guished positions as Mr.. Harrison and
Mr.. Blaine occupy do not parade their
political, official or private relations
from the housetop; they do not stand
at the street corners to prate Of them
to every passer by; they do not invite
the newspaper correspondents to pub
lish them broadcast. Per onal not
less than official dignity, self-respect
and wise judgment forbid them t.
proclaim their sentiment to gaping
curious crowds.
But while there is this natural anC
proper reticence maintained by boil
the president and secretary with re
gard to their personal and official re
latious, every pertinent fact and cir
cumstance known, every sign anS
indication, give assurance of tn
truth-and make assurance doubl,
sure-that both in their official ant
persona relations there is not onl.
the most harmonious, but the mos
cordial relations existing between Mr.
Harrison and Mr.. Blaine, and that IL
respect of the question OF the prcsl
denti Il nomination of 1892 the under
standing between them is perfect an'
to both entirely satisfactory.
All things being esteemed fair Il
politics to the radical partisans, tn
latter, thinking misrepresentation 0
the relations OF the president and sec
rotary good politics" do not hesitat
to use it as weapon against thei
opponents. If the plainest facts. tn
most convincing indications are OF an
value at all, in connection with thi

The people of Bellingham bay, are

seen in the streets and business houses
of New Whatcom, and New Whatcom
people circulate amoug us as If at

the advantages or quick transit are
seen among the bay cities, and when
our strcet-car lines are completed, of
which there is now gathering prospect,
this intermingling will be greater. In
the meantime the HERALD desires to
emphasize its paragraph of yesterday
morning in the matter of the people
of these cities patronizing the

! bay cities. Instead of sending
away to Seattle, Tacoma, Portland
San Francisco, and the east for house
hold and personal supplies, let th'

that is paid out here every week ant
month for wages, rents, and in al
other ways, we can laugh at the tall
of hard times and be prosperous ant
contented. Patronage of home indus
try is one of the strongest points o
domestic economy and is the fOunda
ton of thrift and success
The merchants, manufacturers an
all other of the business men OF tn
Bellingham bay cities came here an
J invested their money, taking chance
among us. They pay liberal rents
licenses and taxes. We owe it to then
who give our cities the look of bus
, ness and enterprise to give them GU
patronage to the fullest extent. Thi
is justice, and justice is the sublime
ton of right.
