The On. Thing Needed.

A correspondent OF the Chicago
Record writes to his paper that he has
discovered an insurance company
" hich guarantees the payment of sal
aries and wages to clerks and other
employees Of firms and corporations.
Employers have been insured against
the dishonesty of their clerks for,
years, as everybody knows, but this
was the first time he had heard of a
guaranteeing the honesty of employ
ers, and he asked the agent If it IN
cluded servant girls. It did not
but the agent thought the company
would soon extend it's scope and
guarantee tho payment Of servant
girls wages as we'll as those of other
working people. There is a wonder
full variety OF Insurance these days.
Fire insurance and life insurance are
no new things; accident insurance
has been written for many years, and
this sort Of precaution is increasing
w1thnew sorts Of peril. You can insure
your bicycle against being stolen.
There is company in New York that
does nothing but insure people
against accidents in the street and on
the elevated railroad. There is
company that insures against elevat
or accidents. You can insure your
horse or your cow or your dog. A
farmer may insure his crops or his
fruit and in the lake region they
write policies upon grapes, against
the diseases that affict them. The
st. Louis tornado gave a great boom
to cyclone insurance, which has here
tofore been confined to Kansas, Ne
braska, Iowa and other cyclone States.
In some cities storage companies in
sure furs and fine overcoats and
wraps against moths, and, in fact,
you can geta policy upon almost every
imaginable risk. There are compan-
les who do no other business than in
sure the lives Of people who are about
to go to sea. With all this multitud-
inous forms of insurance, only one
more woul1 seem to be necessary.
That is company which will guar
'antee the payment Of the policies of
all the other companies, when for any
technicality or other reason, the in
sured is unable to collect.

Another Letter From Carlisle.

A dispatch from Little Rock, Ar
kansas says: The statement widely
published by the press few days ago
that President Green of the Connec-
tIcut Life Insurance Company of
Hartford had issued circular
letter to policy holders notifying them
that in the event of the government
adopting free coinage Of silver the
company would be compelled to pay
all claims in deprecated silver coin.
+. w. Alsop of this city sent clip
ping of this statement to Secretary
of the Treasury Carlisle, with re-
quest for an expression ON the sub
ject. He has received a reply from
Mr.. Carlisle. which in part is as fol-
lows:
@In case the free coinage of silver
should be established in the country.
/ presume insurance and all other
institutions would continue to make
their payments by checks and drafts
on banks as heretofore, but in my
opinion the whole volume of our cur
rency would sink at once to a silver
basis and these checks and drafts
would be paid in silver dollars or their
equivalent in gold, as is now the
case. 1 presume no one supposes for
a moment it would be the duty of the
government to attempt to keep stand
ard silver dollars coined for private
individuals and corporations equal in
Jalue to the gold dollar, or, in other
words, that it would be the duty of
the government to attempt under the
system Of free coinage to maintain the
parity Of the two metals. The dollars
would be coined: on private account
and delivered to private indi viduals
and corporations as their own prop
erty, the government having no in
terest whatever in them. and being
therefore under no obligation to sus-
tain by guaranteeing their value
Under our existing system all silver
dollars are coined ON account of the
government and are Issued by the
government in payment of it's expen.
ditures and other obligations, and it
would be an act of bad faith, there
fore, to permit them to depreciate.

A Candidate For Sheriff.

Elsewhere will be found the an
nouncement of Mr.. A. w. Henson for
the office Of Sheriff. Mr.. Hesson is
an old timer in the county and there
is scarcely nook or corner in it
where he ia not known. He served
the county as Assessor for several
years and discharged the duties of
the Office in manner to win the con-
fidence and esteem of the people.
Since leaving the Assessors office, he
has engaged i'll ranching and is now
one OF the prominent ranohers of
Lamoille valley.
Mr.. Hesson is thoroughly qualified
for the office,Ihe seeks and should the
Democratic county convention, give
him the nomination, his opponent will
have to get up early in the
morning and make a lively
race TO defeat him at the polls.
II elected, the people will have a
faithful, efficient Sheriff who will
conscientiouly execute the laws
against friends or foes.
