Wright, of Georgia; H. F. Duncan, of Kentucky; Walker B. Spencer, of Louisiana; I. Freeman Rasin, of Maryland, and c. H. Collins, of Flor ida. The south has acquired great importance in the eye of the insurance men of late years. Few realize that the amount of life insurance carried by any community is one of the best indi- cations of it's wealth. The money value placed on the lives of the citi- zens shows their individual worth to the community The southern conn -nnflssUners have not always been friendly to the large northern com panies. but their attitude is now one of conclnaJlon.
 Pennsylvania's commissioner, George B. Luper, will be probably the most important man in the con vention. He will represent the largest state, In point of insurance value, in this country. This is because New Yorks commissioner, J. F. Pierce, refuses to attend the gathering, leav- ing the greatest commonwealth in the union unrepresented in it. MT. Pierce Is prompted to this action by certain proceedings in the calling of the com vention which seem to slight the dig nity of the empire state. However, the representation from the other com. monwealths, every one of which sends Its commissioner, will bring together. so numerous body of men that the absence of single man will hardly make the deliberations failure. And
 | .-s ty on insurance, others will be there fully as noted as he. Rhode Island sends Albert 0. Landes and Vermont Chauncey W. .Browne1. Virginia's commissioner Is Morton Marye and from North Carolina Octavius Coke. All these men have studied and writ ten at length upon insurance prob lens.
 The commissioners will make spe- ciaa investigation of the affairs of the

ferences in ruling among the commis- sioners. themselves. Kansas requires conditions which would be deemed il- legal in Vermont. New York disa- grees with Texas as to what life insur- ance means. Now disagreements of this sort give the great companies much trouble and invariably increase the cost of insurance. This explains what has so often puzzled the would be insurer; how it comes that rates vary so much throughout the country.
 At any rate, the men who are to do the work of the conclave are admitted ly highly competent, and in some cases have made lifelong study of the in- surance question. In nearly every case they have held office some time, snd being appointed by the governors of their states, are deemed indepen- dent of any corporation influence. There was a time when the large life insurance companies dictated the ap- pointment of these officials, who thus had tendency to favor one concern at the expense of another. But that time has passed away.
 California has one of the best known insurance authorities to speak for her f-J. N. E. Wilson. He comes with quite Pacific slope delegation, not a member of which is influenced for or against the "old line" or the ''assess- ment" parties which divide the insur- ance world.

Commissioners from Every State to Deal with Insurance Problems.
Legal Measures Now Pending-Every Man Whose Life Is Insured Has Direct Interest in These
 Doings.
lCoPYRIGHT, 1894. I


 i Every man in the United States whose life is insured VII hayesees-6 -6ifect personal interest in what is said and dops .hss;y the the insurance commissioners who meet in conclave this September at the Thousand Islands and remain in session over a week. These commis- sioners are appointed by their respec- tive states and hold office from two to five years They are the guardians of the public interests as against the in- terests of the insurance companies and are thus responsible for assets which amount to many hundred millions of dollars. It Is not likely that any body of men, outside of congress, has abso- lute control of such enormous vested interests.
 There will be lots of work for the commissioners to do. Never has the insurance question possessed such an unique interest.
 The old line life companies are en- gagged not only in fierce competition with each other but contend against the various fraternal and assessment concerns which have grown to consia- erable proportions in some parts of the country. Again, numerous sec- tions of policy holders in some compa- nies have united against other combi- nations with the result that the insur- ance commissioners have now and then felt called upon to interfere.
 Another important part of the labors of the conference has reference to diff

holders point out that the more per sons there are insured the lower the rate can be and hence the corporations should set the example and reduce premiums In reply to this 1t is rep resented that any great reduction would disturb the equilibrium be- tween receipts and assets and prove an element of risk to all policy holders. The matter is complicated one and will receive unusual attention from the commissioners On this sub feet the convention will listen to Com missioners John O. Linehan, of New Hampshire; Theron F. Giddings, of Michigan; Burton Mansfield, of Con- necticut, and F. M. Goodykuntz, oil Colorado.
 Various problems special to differen Il kinds of insurance have also to be dealt with. The fraternal companies are not favorably regared in some states Nor are the great mutual corporations liked in others. The stock companies also have their enemies and the pay ment of fancy. salaries of fifty thou sand dollars to seventy-fve thousand dollars year to big officials are ob- jected to. Other companies complain that the large concerns take advan- tage of their enormous assets to grant unfair inducements to prospective pol icy holders and thus jeopardize the in sured everywhere. Again there are various corporations which desire to make arrangements to wind up their affairs and this will necessitate an off, cial adjustment of vast reinsurance fund. The foreign business of still other companies demands attention.
 Altogether, the entire insurance world, policy holders and policy pay CTS look forward with great interest to the deliberations of the men who have such vast interests to deal with at the Thousand Islands.

New York Life Insurance company at the request of the officials of that cor. poration. The sensational incidents connected with the resignation of the company's former president will long live in the history of life insurance. John A. McCall's administration has long wished to have the commissioners to visit for this purpose and the com ing conclave affords the desired oppor- tunity The insurance authorities in attendance will also include R. A. Mc- Curdy, H. B. Hyde and Edward Harper.
 Another matter of special concern to the western commissioners is the fact that some of the great eastern com panies are so restricted in the invest ment of their assets as to be unable to put money outside of their own states. As result vast sums are kept within limited area and the rate of interest, while low in many states is unduly high in others. The western men will endeavor to have action taken in the premises and by a removal of those re- strictions make available great sums which if invested in their states would be both safe and beneficial. James Cudhie. who is from North Dakota, w. W. Mahn, from Ohio, Eugene Moore, of Nebraska, and A. B. Cook, of Montana, have special interest in this matter.
 The cose of insurance is likely to be thoroughly discussed. From every state come complaints that premiums arc un- duly high. The companies reply to this that life insurance Is as low in cost as 1t can be and that before any great reduc- tions can be made various qualifications of the law will be necessary. Atpreaent.

WILL HIS DRUM GO TOO?

It now appears that the great Ii Hung Chang has really lost his yellow jacket. It was not at the laundry, and he was not deprived of its use and glory by the mercenary laundryman who was determined not to give up the jacket without the appropriate check. The yell low jacket of the great Lii Hung Chang has been taken away from him by Chinaman greater and more powerful than any laundryman, namely, the em- peror. The emperor took the gorgeous garment because he thought the greatLi Hung Chang would do better, even if he didn't look better, without it. He has also taken away his peacock feather, and the next breeze that sweeps to our ears from the east may bring the mournful news that the emperor has taken away the great Lii Hung Changs drum and forbidden him to play soldier any more.

AT LAST, AND WHIT NEXT?

Whats the matter with Senator Cor man! He's all right, up to the present time at least. He has defeated the president and got his tariff bill through the house. just as he laid out to do. Representative Wilson, the author of the original tariff bill which got lost some time ago, is wrapped in gloom, and 1t is believed that "the old man" is mad again and wrapped in curses as in garment. If he is there is some ex- cuse for it, for he has been made to see that he is not the Democratic party and has been plunged into grave doubt as to what he is.
 What will come next now that the agreements have been carried out and the goods delivered? Will the move ment for supplementary bills come to anything? We hardly think it will amount to much. Those in congress who hope it will want to pass bills for free coal. free iron ore, free sugar and free barbed wire. But as the senate has carried it's point in getting through its bill it does not seem probable that it will now go out of its way to do what it wouldn't go out of its way to do be. fore. The great fight is over for the tmls benig, and it will be surprising if the subsequent proceedings are impor- tant.
 What has really been done? The Dem. ocratic platform has been smashed into smithereens. The Sugar trust and other trusts have ruled the Democratic party. Free trade has received a black eye. The Democratic party has been dis. credited worse than at any time since the war. It has narrowly escaped com. plets Reorganization and it will take time to tell. how much or how little there Is left of it.. The house had to ac. cept the senate bill or deal the party a death-blow. Its predicament was well set forth by yesterdays World, which said: What.a defenseless man would do if 6 highWayrnan were to level gun at him, with the cry "rYour money or your life." that the Democrats of the house should do.
