death, it's policies are payable in full,
even though the insured was burden
and expense to the benefciaries instead
1of being of some value.
We Scall attention to these facts to
show that the value Of the property de-
stroyed does not cut any figure 80 long
as the company has got it's money for
carrying it's risk. 1t is easier to Judge
the value Of property before consumed
by flames than when in a heap Of ashes,
and the company insuring a property
should be careful to not place too much
insurance upon it in the first place.
A law compelling insurance companies
to pay their policies in full without any
equiVocation would have this effect upon
the public:
First-No man could get too much in
surance, hence no object to set fire to his
property.
Second--Those who did insure would
get their money SO sure as their property
was destroyed.
Third-More people would insure, for
the very good reason that they would
get just what they paid for in case Of
loss.
Fourth-There would be less fires, and
the insurance companies would make
more money at half the rate charged
now.
Fifth-The honest man would not be
at the mercy of his dishonest neighbor,
and the dishonest man could not get any
more than he paid for in case Of an acci-
dental or unprevented fire.
We trust, Mr.. Editor, that these few re-
marks may furnish the basis for good
insurance law in accordance or along the
line of the above suggestions.

ducing classes, have it in their power to
lay aside all party and local prejudices,
and rise in the dignity of their power,
and at the bsllot-box bring liberty and
deliverance to the American people from
these monster tyrants. That they will
do it in the near future is q foregone con-
clusion, and may God grant that the
revolution may be a peaceful one, and
that only ballots may be the means used
to accomplish the ends of justice.
The great masses Of the people have
become convinced that supreme effort
must be made soon in order to preserve
any portion Of the liberties that were
purchased with the blood Of our revolu-
tionsry fathers, as the government Of the
entire nation has become SO completely
and wholly absorbed by those piratical
tyrants that unless the power that has
been acquired by them is wrenched from
them soon our boasted land of liberty
will become myth. But we trust that
large majority of the free-bOrn citizens
Of this country have sufficient honor and
love of country left to enable them to re-
deem it at the bsllot.box and that peace
able measures will prevail. We trust
that there is yet God in Israel, and
that He will raise up Moses who will
lead the enalsved people Of our fair
country out from under the CALLING bond
age Of the monopolistic classes.

A New Insurance Law Needed.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-As our law w-mRk-
ing body is now in session and are hold
ing seats by reason Of the desire of the
people to have some reform laws passed,
the thought suggests itself to US that
now is good time to obtain relief from
the rapacious greed and swindling
schemes so often resorted to by the in
surance companies to avoid the payment
of policy after the insured has sus-
tanned loss.
It is q we'll established fact that a
large number Of fires are the direct re-
suit of over-insurance, and it is also as
we'll established q fact that the insurance
agents rather encourage policy holders
in taking too much insurance rather
than discoursging them, and the result
Of all this is practically offering bribe
or preminm for q party to burn down
his buildings. If in so doing no one was
interested except the policy holder and
the insurance company, we do not know
but that our present laws are sufficient
for this class Of people; but the innocent
patty who insures in good faith is too
often the victim of his unscrupulous
while he in turn is invariably
the victim Of the insurance company, as
he generally gets very poor pay for COM
mitting such diabolical deeds.
What we need, it seems to us, is q law
that makes policy good for the whole
amount it calls for the moment proof is
furnished that a policy holder has Sus-
tanned a loss, regardless of the value Of
the property 80 insured, except that in
cases where the company is prepared to
go into court at once and show good
reason to believe that the policy holder
did burn the property for the purpose of
obtaining the insurance thereon. And
the case should be made strong enough
to justify a magistrate in binding the
accused over to the higher court to
answer to charge of arson.
We know of no reason why fire in
surance company should not be COM
PEELED to pay its losses just the same as
life insurance companies, !. e., regardless
Of the value Of the property insured, so
the premiums are all paid up. There is
a limit to the amount, of insurance
company will place upon mans life,
and in such cases the company exer-
,ises its own judgment; but in case Of !

is near at hand ought to be apparent to
every observer. No one can have OBJ"
served the political signs Of the times
and not be convinced OF this. Many OF
the members Of both Of the old political
parties pretend not to see it, and, meta
phorically speaking, are "whistling
through the graveyard to keep their
courage up"-and the courage Of other
people. There may be, and doubtless are,
some who do not see it, for the only rsa-
SON that they are not observers. With
such people the old sdsge holds good,
"There are none 80 blind as those who
won't see"
There are some people who never see
any indications Of rain until rain comes.
But the masses Of the people OF the
country both see and feel The approach
ing revolution. They see and feel the
need Of it. They are daily becoming
more and more dissatisfied with the pres
emit political order OF things, The great
masses Of the people are not now 30 COM
pletely tied up by psrtyism that they
are willing to vote for the most consum-
mate scoundrel and debRuchee IN the
land because their party has nominated
him. When any great party utterly dis
regards the wishes Of the people by NOM
mating corrupt and unworthy men for
Office, then the people should be aroused
to their independence Of the party; and
owing to the education that they have
lately acquired, the masses Of them will
break loose, in order to show to the party
leaders their indignation, by refusing to
elect such unworthy representatives.
When any party continues to overlook
the wishes Of the people in the support
Of the wealthy corporations to the detri-
ment Of the masses, as the republican
party has done in this state with the rail-
road corporations, the time is coming
yea, has already come, when that party
will be arrRigned before the sovereign
people of the land for judgment. Such
parties must and will be relegated to the
past. They will be laid aside as having
outlived their usefulness. If the con-
sciences Of the leaders have become so
dead or stupid that they cannot be
aroused by the rumbling Of the coming
wrath Of the people, then such q party
must abide the consequences. The
Scriptures Of Divine truth say, "a pru-
dent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth
himself; but the simple pass on and are
punished. Proverbs, xxi, g. This is "a
true Of political parties as it is Of indi-
vidual men. Any party that becomes SO
completely intoxicated with Doodle OBJ.
tanned from the plutocrstic corporations
as not to be able to discern the signs Of
the times, and prepare for the day Of
political judgment, must OF necessity
meet its doom and pass into history as an
RbRted nuisance.
AS q rule, the people Of the state, and
especially the agricultural portion Of
them, are long suffering and slow to
anger, and will bear much oppression
from the powers that DO; but the time
will surely come when forbearance ceases
to be virtue. Then the honest citizens
will arise in the majesty Of their liberty,
and declare their independence of those
political tyrants who are leading them
