BENEFIT ORDERS.

The recent application, in Western
State, for receiver for certain benefit
order having many members in PRovI-
DENCE, has caused such stir of pardon
able comment that the present seems a
favorable time to offer few general OBJ
servations on the subject of benefit
orders.
With the particular one in question
we need have no concern, as its condi-
tion is in fair way to be brought out in
court. In general, however, there can
be no hesitation in saying that there
have been of late so many cases Of
heavy loss by alleged benefit orders
that it is well to look carefully at the
promises and examine well the safe
guards of every order which solicits
memberships.
Happily, this is scrutiny which most
Of the better known benefit orders can
ear with perfect ease. Many of these
are conducted upon the assessment plan.
and death or sick payments are met by
assessments upon members in certain
definite area. This. so long as members
remain sufficiently numerous, is an at
tractive form of life insurance, present
ing certain social features which are
highly priced. There is class of "short
term ORDERS" however, which promise
more than they can perform for mem
bers holding matured certificates with
out injustice TO the holders of unexpired
ones.
Let us suppose, for instance--the case
is hardly an extreme one-that short
term order proposes to collect from its
members . dollar a month each, or tl0,
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-08-02

for four years, and at the end OF that
lime pay to each holder of matured
certificate 800, or $1,000 as the case
may be. Any person can see that this
is getting back dollar in payment for
Is cents-or, making reasonable al
lowance for interest earnings, not much
over so cents, at any rate. No possi-
bility of safe investment known can
meet these payments, and If officials are
to make unsafe investments, their dupes
ought to know it.
In case like that supposed, the
''order" can stand as long as new men,
bers come in twice as fast as old ones
present maturcd certificates. This
would mean that if such an order has
!00,0 900 members now, it must have 200,-
900 in 1896 and 10000 in 1900 to keep
up payments. BY 1910 it would have to
have 400, 600, 900, when the resources of
the globe in the membership way would
be pretty well exhausted.
The sooner the crash comes the better!
There ought to be some means invent
ed by which the operations of orders
which promise the impossible could be
legally stopped. Until that can be
done, would-be receivers Of two dollars
for one must look out for themselves.

all days, to bring in a bill from the COM
mittee on appropriations, asking for
money for the relief of the food suffer
ers in the lower Mississippi Valley. The
audacity of this proposition, in view OF
the strict construction arguments against
Chicago the Southerners have been
making has caused broad grin to
spread itself over the face Of the country
from Maine to California. From the
Southern anti-Fair standpoint such
relief would be outrageously unconsti-
tutional, and Kilgore of Texas saw 1T,
but that view of the case failed to pre-
sent itself to any other Southerner. II
may be imagined what reception the
proposition would have met had the
floods been in the Mississippi Valley
north of the Ohio.

ton has been shown up unconsciously

Kee & Harrington of New York, manu-

yesterday said that the new tariff of
$3.50 per yard on the article put the
price up for time but American fac
tories began to make 1t and now his firm
could get better stuff than the imported
at seventy-five cents per yard. This is a
practical illustration of how the tariff
puts up prices.

A NEW SPECIES OF MAYOR.

His Honor the Mayor has now reached
the third stage in the development of
official character.
The first stage was at election time
last November when the prevailing
public opinion was that Mr.. Potter was
a man of firm and answering opinion.
The second stage was during that
long and trying period when the people
were endeavoring to find out who would
be appointed License Commissioner
The citizens then concluded that Mr.
Potter was man of no opinion.
The third stage confronts the citizens
and is made manifest in the veto of the
Gas Company's franchise. 1t disproves
the first thought that the mayor was a
man of decided opinions. 1t disproves
the second thought that he was man
of no opinions. 1t conclusively proves
that he is a mental prodigy man who
has multitude of opinions on the same
subject-a man who can answer yes and
no to the same question-in short a
specimen of a psychical wonder which be-
longs more naturally in museum Of
oddities than in high official place.
On the sixth of June report was pre-
sented to the Common Council, by the
special committee on franchises. The
following words appear in the report {:
"After careful survey of the ques-
tion Of franchises and its bearings upon
the interests of the city, your committee
herewith submit form Of contract
and recommend its adoption on
part of the CITY,"
This was the unanimous recommenda
tion of the committee. Mayor Potter
was a member of that committee. That
was his opinion on June 6.
On Aug. Mr.. Potter vetoed his own
resolution and used the following Ian
guage:
81 feel that l cannot with justice to
the citizens of PROVIDENCE approve the
signing of any contract which takes the
control of our streets and highways
from the City Council and give the ex-
elusive right to use them to any person
or corporation for "A long term of years" /"
The mayor of June 9th has turned
acrobat and vetoed himself. The
mutability of human thought is made
pitifully apparent to the community,
and we are moved to quote Roman
politician Of nineteen centuries ago
known as Cicero, who once cried out in
despair "How long and to what end
will these things continue?"
To quote stuffed prophet Of some
what more recent date "It is a con-
dition and not a theory that confronts
u.s." A man of no opinion is not, to
say the least, an ideal executive, though
he would not do any harm; but mayor
of a multitude of opinions on the same
subject becomes nonentity, for he
spends his time in reconsidering his own
vote and in vetoing his own resolution.
1t is a thought worthy of considera-
ton that with a nonenity as Mayor the
Office of chief executive should be de-
clared vacant, and special election or
dered to fill said vacancy with a man
who exists not only in theory, but in
fact.

Our esteemed contemporary, the New
York Sun, in reply to a statement by
the PROVIDENCE Journal that " the fool
killer is badly needed in London" says
with great force and justice:
Not so badly as in PROVIDENCE, r. l.,
where the editor of certain Mugwump
organ of free trade Is loudly asserting
that the force bill issue tends to weaken
the Democratic party in the North.
1t is true that the % force" bill issue,
so-called, is the strongest one on which
the Democratic party can fight, partly
because the bugaboo of negro rule helps
to keep the South solid against the dis
integrating force of tariff sentiment,
and partly because on any other dis
coverable issue, such as the tariff or
honest money, the Democrats of the
North would be in even worse plight.
But is not the fraud killer still more
needed when this free trade organ con-
tinues to assent that the tariff is not an
issue because the party which passed
the Mills bill doesn't mean what it said
at Chicago? Is not fraud worse than
a fool any day2 And is not this nau-
seous hypocrite, the degenerate Journal,
ten times more of the former than the
latter?
