THE VALUED PoLIcY RII-I

One of the most widely discussed
SUBJECTS about Dover is the attempt to
secure the passage of an act to repeal
the valued Policy act. A large mum.
ner OF insurance men are interested in
the matter, and sometimes the discus.
slons about the corridors become rather p
hot
supporters Of the act as it now stands
are Senators Pilling and Williams
senator Pilling said the whole trauble
was IN the Insurance companies aud
not IN the law. The law simDlV re.
qulres the insurance companies to nav
the value of their policies. If the com.
Pany Insures property without making
an Inspection Of the property, it is the
IauIt OF the company if it is insured for
more than its value. The cOmpanies
should be compelled to inspect the
properties ana to insure them for their
Value. This the agents do not .do. but
on the contrary refuse TO insure nron.
erty In towns where there is no water
supply, unless exOrbitant rates are
paid "'0
Inc people of Kent and New Castle
counties. where there is a water snn.
ply In most every town, are in favor IF
tne valued policy act because they get
tnelr insurance at the usual rates and
are also sure of the value of their
property If it is destroyed by fire. The
people OF Sussex county, where there
are lew towns with water supplv. and
insurance rates are high, want the act
repealed. "''

looks back with a kindly long
ing to the good old times when the stage
was trod by gentlemen of education, re-
finement and artistic ability. He must
feel good deal like the struggling coun-
try journalist who sees every deadwall
and post in his town covered with fam
ing advertisements, whilst the mer-
chants and others who are made rich by
his devotion to their interests in increas-
ing the prosperity of their town are
doing all they can to impoverish him by
withdrawing their advertisements from
his paper and patronizing the bill poster.
The "seedy-genteel actor may find a
consolation in the fact that he is not
alone in being cleft" by the "degener-
acy'' of the times. All kinds of busi-
nesses and professions are more or less
subjected to the inroads OF the new pro.
gression and the backsets of an age that
has but little veneration for the past
an age that thinks only ofthe almighty
dollar"

THERE are 396 bills on the files Of the
house and as many more in the senate,
yet the legislature has only fifteen days
more to sit before the per diem of mem
bers ceases. There is talk in the capitol
about extending the session for month !;
but experience has shown that about q
week of service without pay generally
tires the legislature of its gratuitous
work, and an adjournment speedily fol-
lows. But few bills, and none of gen.
eral Importance, have as yet gone to the
governor. The business of both houses
Is as greatly in arresr as it ever was at
so late day in the session, and we may
now look out for hasty legislation. Yet
the present legislature, take it all in all,
is the best, morally and intellectually,
we have had for many years. The fact
lis that no legislature can get through
with the business of session in sixty
days, and do it well. The people, how
ever, by vote at the last election, refused
to extend the term, so we shall have to
get along as well as we can with sixty
legislative days every two years.

A HINT FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY Dill
LON.

Elsewhere in this mornings HERALD
we print letter from a gentleman who
signs himself GA Legal Taxpayer" and
who is lawyer of great acumen and
learning. lie does not take the dis
couraging view OF the recovery of the
large sums of money taken from the
county by Banbury which we, in mo-
ment of dependency for the county
treasury, took yesterday. On the con-
trary, he thinks that it is the duty of
the district attorney to sue at once for
this $4500 before any question of the
statute of limitations can arise on the
official bonds not only of the treasurer
but of the auditor, and OF the several
supervisors who joined in allowing the
unjust claims. Our correspondent also
suggests that it would be an excellent idea
toinquire Of the state controller whether
Mr.. Banbury has drawn the forty cents a
mile which the law allows him on the
supposition that he personally carried
the county moneys up to the state treas
urer at Sacramento. We have no doubt
whatsoever as to what the answer of the
state controller will be to that question.
Meanwhile, the district attorney should
carefully read the article from "A Legal
Taxpayer" which appears elsewhere,
and initiate the suits needed to recoup
the county. We are convinced that he
will agree with our correspondent that
vigorous action on his part is necessary,
and that delays are dangerous. There
are other considerations in "a Legal
aApayer's" communication that are
worthy of Mr.. Dillon's attention. The
truth is that not only should Mr.. Ban
bury be made to pay back the sums Of

ner the popular branch of congress will

This is too important a subject to be dis
posed of in this secret way. The whole

have free expression upon this grave
question before it is placed by the
treaty-making power beyond the reach
of recall.
