THE RIGHTS or POLICY HOLDERS.


State Auditor Moore has very prop
erly taken steps to protect the rights of
the holders of policies issued by local
fire insurance company that has passed
into the hands of Il receiver. y com
pany that accepts payment for the in
surance Of property against fire is held
legally liable under the terms of the
contract for the period covered by the
policy. Its insolvency does not absolve
it from its obligations to the insured to
the extent of it's assets. 1t cannot have
preferred policy holders any more than
it can legally repudiate its contracts.
1t may be unfortunate in its invest
ments and may be compelled by reason
of unusual losses to 90 out of bust
ness. In this respect its stockholders
are entitled to public sympathy.
Under the laws of Nebraska the
auditor of public accounts, as head of
the state insurance department, must
see to it that the rights of policy holders
shall not be sacrificed to those of other
creditors of failed insurance companies.
If the receiver who is expected to re
insure the property for the uneXpired
term of policies still in force seeks to
evade this responsibility it becomes the
duty of the auditor to appear in court
foc the insured and enforce compliance
with the requirements of the law even
if it does operate a hardship upon the
unfortunate stockholders.
1t is also manifestly proper for the
auditor to call down the insurance
agents of other companies who have
been making efforts to secure premiums
from policy holders of the failed COM
pany by falsely representing that their
prepaid policies are worthless. Every
fire insurance agent who has any stand
ing in the business must know that
the uneypired policies of an insolvent
company do not lapse upon the appoint
ment of receiver. Knowing this
fact, it is to say the least unprofessional
TO impose upon the ignorance of policy
holders in order to procure their busi-
ness

Great are the resources of diplomacy. In
the way Of maintaining peace with honor
they are especially strong. British diplomacy
has now so modified the quarrel with Vene-
zuela as to make it depend, not on a question
of territorial rights, but on that Of an out
rage to British subjects, whether on British
or Venezuelan territory. This is a virtual
abandonment of the British contention that
the Venezuelan captors of the Guiana police
men were intruders, and really, though not
formally, comedies about all that Venezuela
claims. There should be little difficulty in
settling the trouble now, as between Great
Britain and Venezuela, while as for the
Monroe doctrine, it can afford to initiate

However interesting may be the totals
of Nebraska's mortgage Indebtedness as
disclosed by the record published by
the auditor. there are so many condi-
tons and circumstances that must be
taken into account in any just com
parison that hasty conclusions should
not be deduced from them. The new
mortgages may have been made for pur-
poses of productive improvements and
many payments have no doubt been
made that have not been recorded
With all that, the figures compiled by
the auditor which balance off the new
Indebtedness almost equally against
claims satisfied, is n very encouraging
statement

The proposition to divide the county
sician charge of each and divide the pay
of one between the two hereafter will
meet with approval. 1t would provide
better service at no greater expense.
The county is too large for one ply
sician to meet all requirements and the
INDECENT sick must suffer in conse-
quence. There ought to be no objection
to improving the public service where
no extra expense Is involved.

A LOOK FORWARD.

Somerville Journal.
Though tits hot, a cooling breeze
Stirs the leaves upon the trees
Every now and then
Great white clouds drift through the sky,
Floating softly, slowly by,
Far beyond our ken.
Hum of insects, songs of birds
Songs too sweet for any words
Blithely fill the air
Everything is fresh and green;
Nature at her best is seen
Brilliant everywhere.
Soft cloud-shadoYs come and go
From the meadow sounds and low
OF a distant COW.
Honey bees are buzzing by
That's what twill be next July.
Don't you wish twas now?

The South Omaha school board paid
81 800 for heating apparatus placed in
building not worth that sum. The
contract was let without advertising
proposals for bids. The agent of the
heater company spent several days and
nights in South Omaha, pending the
closing of the deal, however, and agents
are not in the habit Of burning midnight
oil for their henlth.

The intimation is publicly made that
the Baltimore &, Ohio railroad receiver
ship will last for at least five years.
Quite possible. SO long as the receivers

liberal salaries, the incentive to wind
up the bankrupt road promptly is not as
strong as it might be.

The school term in the High school
last year was shortened to nine months
with a corresponding curtallment of the
High school teachers pay. Those
teachers have no more claim upon ten
months pay for nine months work than
any other teachers in the city. There
is no question that the schools should
be kept open the whole ten months for
he benefit of the pupils, and they should
be kept open ten months even if the
teachers should have to teach the last
month without extra pay.

The school board has about decided
that 1t would be unwise to bring suit
against the council TO compel the city
TO order 0-mill levy for school
purposes. Ii is argued that the council
must eventually fix levy to meet the
school board deficit, so the whole re-
sponslbility for present omission to pro
vide levy must be assumed by the
council. This is Il most complacent
view of the situation. The board will
however, not fail to realize that it still
has some responsibility in the matter OF
reducing expenses

Unnecessary AInrm.

Omaha is greatly worked up over an un-

Town of Holland, challenged Hon.
henry Feig to debate the ques-
tion, Resolved that free coinage
of silver would be a benefit to the
farmer, at Feig's meeting at
Prinsburg last Friday evening.
This Feig. refused to do on several
pretexts, such as that he had not
been notified in time, that he
wanted the wording of the ques-
ton changed and parliamentary
rules reversed in his favor. The
fact that an ordinary farmer
could chase a man who has had
much experience in speaking and
debate, to the woods, is such an
open admission of a weak case
thatit cannot fail to open the
eyes of the thinking farmers of
that community.

Mr.. PRESIDENT: It seems to
be the general impression
throughout the country that we
are entering upon an era ofunex-
ampled material prosperity. The
recent advance in prices and the
premonitory activity in all the in
dustrial pursuits warrant this
popular conviction: -
This renewal of our prosperity
is largely the result of wise legis
lation enacted and to be enacted.
One great measure-the silver
bil-has already passed into op:
GRAFTON, and it's effects have been
immediate and great beyond all
anticipation. These effects will
continue. This MANNED agent Of
our prosperity has been restored
to nearly all fits former func-
tons, and we now perceive, what
we ought to have perceived years
ago, that a full and adequate cur.
rency and an equal use of both
the precious metals are indispen.
