London correspondent says: William
Liddodsle, ex-governor of the bank of
England, and probably the greatest
banking and financial authority in the
world, speaking of the financial crisis in
Australia and the disturbed state Of
affair In the United States, said there
was absolutely DO occasion, looking over
the whole world. to believe any large
disturbance was at hand. He thinks
the worst ia already past. Next fall, he
adds, the United States will begin to get
back the gold which they have been
exporting, then will be the time for
England to exercise caution to avoid
trouble. He says the currency system
OF the United States ia very defective,
and the repeal Of the Sherman law would
not wholly remedy the trouble. The in
crease in the currency has not been great

The great trouble Is that in new

ions which characterize older commune
ties are exercised in behalf OF the aged
and inflrm or the deserving unfortunate.
The aged man whose last penny is gone,

CONCERNING HOSPITAL DISCIPLINE.

The article upon the conduct of our
county hospital, in yesterday mornings
HsRALD, called into play the exertions
of veteran reporter who, after an
hours examination of the prsmises, re-
ported that things might be better and
they might be good deal worse. The
truth is that the spir.s of humanity is
not always perceptible in institutions of
this sort. Everybody is too busy.
This was particularly true of the state
insane asylum at Stockton in an early
day, when several patients came to an
untimely end through the violence of
their keepers, some of whom were ward
strikers and appointed solely for their
''infew-ence" in matters political. The
appointment OF DR.. George A. Shurtleff
to the post of resident physician
of that institution, cane just at
that time and not day too soon
for the good OF the institution. He gave
the attendants to understand that those
unfortunates whose reason had gone to
the four winds must be treated as pa
tients and not ss prisoners; and this
had 90 salutary an effect upon the peo.

FARMERS MUTUAL INSURANCE.

To the friends Of a Mutual Insurance
CompGUytOr the farmers of Allen
county.
AT the meeting called on the 10Th of
April, 1898, to take such action as
might be thought best about organic
ing under the laws of the state, a
ruling of the Attorney General
was read to the effect, briefly stat
ed, that to do business, has to take
out a charter, p names being neces-
sary. A charter member, whose ag-
gregate must be $4,000, which will
cost $500 as fees to the Commission
er of Insurance, and other expenses
which will make altogether about $40.
The company, before it can begin
business, must have policies amount
ing in the aggregate to 100000; that
is, enough people must put in proper
ty to that amount, on which each one
gives a note to the amount of the per
cent at which the company charges
for insuring for a number of years.
For example, / insure property to the
amount of 81 900, the rate of insurance
we will say is 81 on each 500, or one
per cent, for three years, which would
be One-third of cent ON each dollar
for one year. The person insured
gives his premium note for $1,000, one
fourth of this note he pays down.
When there is no more to pay for the
years, unless there are losses which
shall exhaust the money paid on the
case, these notes can be assessed in
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1893-05-12
NOTIONS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION.


sufficient amount to meet the loss,
but not to exceed the remaining un-
paid portion, and such assessments
can be collected by law. The old
company has over $4,000 worth of
property insured. 1t is expected that
enough others will insure to make up
the 100000 necessary to begin bust
ness with as soon as it is known that
the company is on a firm basis and
will promptly pay losses that may
accrue. To show what is to be gain
ed, take the work done by the old
company. 1t did business 81 years
with an average of $4,000 worth of
property insured yearly. The loss in
Guiding the loss by the cyclone on the
18th of April, was, all told, S552.76, for
the first three years it was S42S.09.
To insure the same amount of proper
ty in the old Insurance companies for
same time would have cost g, 265. 90.
Deducting from that sum the actual
loss S552,76 leaves S1912,25 as a clear
gain to those who insured in the
Mutual. BY the Insurance Commits
sioner's report the average loss paid
each year, of the premiums paid to
the old line companies was S213.S5 or
less than one half of the premiums
paid. In the time before mentioned
there was paid in this state in premi-
ums S1S,794 $3.50, there was paid
in losses in the same time S., 243, 1919.
Why should not the farmers hold
together to keep that money at home?
The committee met on Wednesday
May 3rd, canvassed the whole question
and determined to call meetings in
each township to place the matter of
getting the necessary 500, 900 worth of
property to organize the company.
Every one interested would help it
along greatly to send or give to any
members of the committee the amount
that they wish to insure. If the
farmers of the county will take hold of
this thing it will be go.

J. J. RAMBo, of the ChetOpa DEM
ocrGt, is getting tired of being dictat-
ed to by the fusion outfit, and has
concluded to turn the tables and do a
little debating himself. He says:
The man who favors endorsing the
peoples party and opposes the plac-
ing of a Democratic ticket in the field
in this county this fall is NOT A DEM
oCRAT. By your works we shall
judge you. And the man who, in
1894 will favor the repetition of the
9th of last July, and will not work
and vote early and late to secure the
nomination ola Democratic state tick
ct is not Democrat, and should not
and will not be recognized as such.
The time has come when there must
be division of the sheep and the
goats. There cannot be two Demo-
cratic parties in Kansas. All this
talk of staiwart and fusion Democrat
is nonsense. If a man is Democrat
he is Democrat, and that is all there
is to it. But a man can't be a Demo-
crat and vote some other party ticket
year in and year out. Therefore, this
is the year that a mans politics will
be determined by the ticket he votes.
You never hear man who continual
ly votes the Republican ticket claim
ing to be Democrat. Yet he is just
as good a Democrat as the man who
votes the Peoples ticket.
Fusion and surrender is dead
duck. Democracy is eternal.
