1T MAY NOT COME IN.
Chicago Insurance Company Is Not
Admissible Here.

Attorney General Childs yesterday
sent to the insurance commissioner a
recommendation which is of consider
able interest to the insurance frater-
nifty Sam T. Johnson, of MINNEAPOLIS
asked whether the Chicago Insurance
company, organized in the state of
Illinois and transacting the business of
marine insurance, may properly be adj
mltted to this state to transact herein
ire insurance business exclusively
Mr.. Ch1lds says in a letter to the in
Surance commissioners:
1T is ureged on behalf Of the company
tnat the law OF this state does not de-
clare that no company can be admitted which
transacts, by permission of its own domestic
state, or whose charter is wide enough Il,
permit its tranSacting more than one kind
OF business under a given capital, even
though 1t could not without that amount OF
capital transact more than one kind of bust
ness in this state but that it prohibits a
company transacting more than one kind of
business with a given amount Of capital.
1T is evidently the policy of our insurance
law that no company shall transact marine
business without capital stock "of not
less than $500 900. 1t matters not whether
company seeking to do business be organ
lied under the laws of this or any other
state. 1t is enough to know that given COM
pany is engaged in the transaction Of a
marine business, whether the amount Of
such business transacted by it be great or
small. Any other rule would lead to the view
that a company under the laws of another
state might transact marine business in
every other state of the Union. and enter
this state and transact an exclusively fire
business. This would be clearly dscrim-
ination against our own companies. 1t would
be granting to the foreign company a priv
ilege not enjoyed by a domestic company.
The legislature, in its wisdom as a mat
ter of precaution, has deemed it prudent to
exact a capital of 5000, 900 on the part OF
marine companies doing business in this
state.
Il am therefore unable to subscribe to
the view Of Mr.. Johnson and you are ac-
cordingly advised that the company in ques-
ton should not be permitted to do business
in this state until it shall have complied
with the requirements of the law thereof
to the amount of its capital stock.

holders in the company. On the first
of each month q statement Is issued OF
the price at which the company will
sell shares. Any employee may apply
to purchase them on the installment
plan, paying out of his monthly wage
as much as he may feel able to. When
these payments amount to the price of
a share it is issued to him, emitting
During the time the installment is ma
turing the company pays per cent
interest on the, partial payments. If
for any reason the purchaser wishes
to discontinue payments, what he has
paid, with accrued interest, is refunded
to him. In a way this becomes a saw
ings bank with opportunity to acquire
a proprietary interest.
The advantages to both parties are
apparent. The trainman who thus in
vests becomes quite a different person
from the one who has no interest in
the property and regards himself as
a more or less oppressed individual. He
feels that sense Of ownership of prop
erty interests that makes men thought
full, conservative and self-reliant The
man who owns a home, however hum
BILE, is quite different man and citi-
zen from the one who has none Of the
ties that home and property create.
For the company, the advantage of
having its employees holders Of its
stocks is also great. There is the
greater care of property, zeal in the in
terests Of the corporation and desire for
it's success than is ordinarily felt by
men who merely look upon it as a fisc
from which the largest possible sum is
to be drawn in exchange for the least
possible amount of service. The mo-
tive of the plan is good one, and the
extent to which it is accepted by the
men and the result will be we'll worth
general attention

THE CHARITY BALL.

That which has become function
of the first magnitude in the social life
of our city, the annual charity ball, is
fixed for the evening of Dec. 8. We
bespeak for it a more than ever cor
dial and generous support by the peo-
pie Of st. Paul Aside from the noble
charity to whose promotion the pro-
ceeds are devoted, there is ample rea-
son why all who participate in the
gaieties Of the social life, and many
who do not, should open hearts and
purses at the appeal of the ladies who
have this undertaking in charge The
accommodations secured for this sea-
son surpass those of previous years.
The Masonic headquarters in the Low
ry arcade are admirably adapted to
just such an occasion. The times are
less serious than they were a year ago.
There is more to spend and the hope
of still better times. And there is,
above all, the great enterprise in be-
half of which earnest women have
spent and are. still spending their eff
forts and their sympathy with the
royal self-sacrifice of devoted woman
hood.
The good cause of st. Lukes hos
pital is the motive power behind the
charity ball That great institution,
which struggled through so many
years of slow and interrupted growth
to it's present fortune, is we'll worth
the sacrifices that have been made for
it. 1t stands as proud ornament of
our city, a testimony of the union of
human love and public spirit, and a
powerful ally of the medical work Of
the Northwest, OF which ST. Paul is
the admitted center. 1t is amazing
that so important work, so costly
an enterprise, should have been
brought to tsfpresentc stage by the I'M
ceasing efforts of those who have made
1t their hfework. Its continued useful
ness and the expansion of it's field in
the future depend upon the Hberality
of our people. Let the conditions of
this work be fully understood
There is heard occasionally a word
| of criticism or an objection to largess
| because the ministrations Of St. Luke's
are not wholly free. AS to the latter,
it is an entire misunderstanding The
hospital records show that, during the
past year, there were over 1900 days of
! service given to strictly charity pa
tients and nearly 700 to patients who
paid only in part. Surely this is a fine
record. and enc that entities st. Luke
to the gratitude and help of our peo-
pie. It rests with them, moreover. to
determine how soon its doors shall
stand open constantly to welcome all
who come without condition of price.
Can it be that any have forgotten
that this immense institution, whose
| building cost q fortune and whose
maintenance demands a handsome
revenue, cannot be run without money ?
Does not every one know that such
gifts as have been made to it were
| devoted to building purposes; that it
is still encountered with a debt. the
interest upon which has to be paid;
and that all the ordinary hospital ex-
penditures must be made good out of

PEELED to suspend work within q week.
Just as soon as an endowment is
reached sufficient to support, it's
work will be all gratuitous. In the
meantime the scope and breadth of its
charities depend upon the liberality of
our people; and therefore every dollar
given to it is indeed contribution to
a noble charity. On this one coca
sion, therefore, we hope that our peo-
pie will not stint their generosity, and
that the brilliancy of the charity ball
as a social event will be matched by
the comfort it brings to the hearts
and the enlargement to the plans of
the managers of st. Luke's. The cause
is worthy of all that any has to give.

clared. by majority of $4,000, not
only for policy which to many OF us
means the reputation of debts, but for
a great many other things that all of
us, when put to the test renounce with
horror. In the Kansas campaign the
widest and most revolutionary doc
trines were promulgated, couched in the
most incendiary language. The party
of violence and revolution prevailed.
Yet Of the entire population of Kansas
in 1890 only per cent were illiterates.
The native-born population is three
fourths of the whole, and it reported
only 2 per cent of illiteracy. 1t seems
clear to US that neither the common
school nor the church has done it's per-
feet work in Kansas. If it were doing
its perfect work anywhere else, the
spectacle of dishonesty in high places,
of falsity to solemn pledges or treach-
cry to individual honor and public OBJ
legation would not be so painfully fire.

We are in the habit of assuming that
the instruction which the child must
receive in its impressionable years in
morals is always given at home. I'm
fear it is growing less true all the time.
The laxity of household discipline, the
precocity of youth, the crowds of chill
dren upon our city streets at all hours
of the day and night, all go to show
that the child Of the close of the nine
teenth century, in what calls itself the
most progressive nation on earth, is
left to pick up the odds and ends of it's
moral education as no society would
dream of allowing it to pick up it's
food and drink, and that society and
state suffer the consequences. The les
son that character is everything can
be learned through life, but it is a per-
ilous experiment for the commonweal
which leaves it to be thus taught ''The
beauty of holiness" as the greatest
and wisest of all our advisers puts it,
should be the model set before the
child from the beginning of it's educa-
ton to the end.
1t is because character is the domi-
nant idea of the kindergarten that this
has become the most important part of
our educational system. 1t is because.
outside Of the kindergarten, there is no
systematic attempt to impress upon
the child the imminence of moral
forces in the world, the value of char
acter to the state and the relation Of
right conduct to any desirable future
in this life or another, that our public
life is SO full Of problems and our times
so fraught with disbursement and
disaster. The public school will earn
the title to the glories that it has
claimed, and it will become the bull
wark of liberty which we have boosted,
only when it makes the building Of
character the first essential, and clus-
ters all the sciences, all the arts and
all the humanities about the central
thought and fact of instruction in the
common and accepted code of moral
conduct s# -as.t a

RUSSIA's EXPERIMENT.

Every country, at some time in its
career. has had presented to it the
problem of getting back out of a de-
preciated currency to a solvent one.
In these processes too little attention
has been given to the injuries inflicted,
the hardships suffered, the injustice
done. Taking the whole period of
descent and rise into consideration,
there is an equation of gains and losses,
of benefits and injuries, but this leaves
out Of consideration the individual who,
as a creditor, is injured by the depre-
citation and who, as a debtor is bur-
dened by the appreciation. We under
went both these experiences in this
country between 1862 and 1878. Appar-
ent wealth gained enormously during
the year when the greenback was los
ing it's purchasing power, and real
wealth sustained the compensatory
losses. When the other process began
the apparent weaithsshrank and actual
wealth made the solid gains. Both
movements inflicted boss, often ruinous,
for in neither We're the rights of either
debtor or creditor considered.
Russia is moving upward out of a
depreciation of her paper currency,
striving to reach a gold basis for it,
For years gold has been accumulated
until sufficient is obtained to make re-
sumption probable at an early date.
But Russia, barbarous as we esteem
her. has not been sunmindful of the eff
or hold property acquired during. the
paper currency times, and who would

find their debts doubled or their prop
erty values halved by the sudden rails
ing Of the rouble in paper to a level
with the gold rouble. To meet this
difficulty a new gold coin has been
adopted, of the present value of the
paper and silver rouble. making it
legal tender for debts and, practically,
the current gold coin. The finance
minister is authorized to fix for twelve
months at a time the premium on the
old gold imperials and half -imperials
of 10 and 5 roubles, thus guarding
against speculative fluctuations. The
premium for the present Is fixed at 2
roubles so kopeks and roubles in sill
yer or paper. The value of the old
10-rouble imperial is $772, and that Of
the new one is said to be $515. The
change has not been made, Of course,
without strenuous opposition, mainly
from those who expected to see their
credits increased in value by the uplift
of the paper and silver rouble to the
value of the old imperials. There has
been the fear of expulsion of gold and
the plan has been called a devaluation
OF the currency, but M WHITE, the
finance minister, is determined to try
the experiment to its conclusion and is
using the arbitrary powers Of his gov
eminent to carry it out. It's purpose is
to protect those who would ha iniI1rad
by the change from a paper to a gold
standard. 1t is, we believe, a novel
experiment in finance, and it's outcome
will be worth noting in those countries
whose currency is liable, from any
cause, to become deprecated.

Roller Skating 10 Popular.

new kind of roller skates for street and
road use were exhibited, which 10 get
ting very popular in both countries
They have the shape of ordinary skates,
but in the place of steel runners there
are two runners provided, which are
severed with rubber tires For practi-
cal use on ordinary roads they are ex-
cellent, and their weight is about three
pounds apiece. A good roller skater
can move surprisingly fast upon these
skates, and, by placing one foot across
the rear of the other he can stop almost
instantaneously. The London and
Paris streets are already alive with
skaters using the new roller skates,
which are becoming more popular every
day.
