Losses and Other

These figures show for themselves that
Minnesota is profitable field for life insur-
ance companies, and that this is an excep-
tionally healthy state. The average amount
of premium paid per $1,000 of insurance in
force last year by Minnesota policyholders
was $29. .S8.
There have also been admitted four cas-
ualty and fidelity companies, the City Trust,
Safe Deposit and Surety company of Phila-
delphia; the Lawyers Surety, and United
States Casualty, of New York; and the New
England Burglary, Of Boston. The national
Benefit and Casualty company has gone into
the hands of a receiver during the year.
Companies of these mixed classes have in
creased their risks in Minnesota during the
year from $51. .0o0, 900 to s68, ,000, ,0O0 almost
actly one-third, although the premiums have
only increased from $4,000 to s41s, 900. The
losses also increased for the year from s172,-
900 to $206, 900.
No new title companies are doing business

BUSINESS IN MINNESOTA IN 1895.

The life insurance companies increased
their total insurance in force in the state
during 1895 by s2,o4s,766; or from sS4, ,22O,513,
in force at the end of 1894, to $50, ,269. .279 in
force Dec. 81. 1895. The industrial insurance
in force, however, declined during the year
from $2,332,S3 to $1,SS5, SOC; a decrease of
SAT-, 1872. This would indicate that there is
not so much demand for this class of insur-
ance as formerly. The policyholder soon
learns that in making weekly or monthly
payments, large percentage of his premium
goes to pay the collector and other items
inseparable from the employment of a large
force of employees to keep track of the small
payments, and learns that larger and less
frequent payments on an ordinary life pol
icy bring far better returns. The amount
of ordinary life insurance written in the
state during 1896 was $19, ,296, ,S02 and amount
ceased was S17, ,24S, ,036 The amount written
was smaller than in 1894. but the amount
which ceased was also great deal less than
in 1894 The premium received in the state
in 1895 amounted to 81, ,633. .537. 81, and losses
incurred to $745, 1855, showing very large
profit to the companies in Minnesota. The
loss ratio or mortality and other claims paid
to policyholders per $1,000 of insurance in
force in Minnesota during the past few years
has been as follows:

Capitol Commission to Inspect the
Limestone Quarrfes.

The state capitol commission passed another
long session yesterday in the consideration
Of the bids recently opened for the surface
grading excavation and foundation work. A
number of minor matters of routine were also
discussed. The commission adjourned to meet
in this city Tuesday morning. After conven-
ing they will start for Winona, in order to
inspect the quarries Of white limestone at
that point. This rock is specified in several of
the bids, including that Of the lowest bidder,
John Lohse, of Winona. The successful bidder
will therefore, not be named until some day
next week.

In Part Of the annual report Of State
Insurance Commissioner Smith, which has
just been finished, the life, casualty and
miscellaneous insurance companies are treat
ed Three new companies are reported as ad-
mitted: The Bankers Life, of Lincoln, Neb;
the Security Trust company and the Conrec-
ticut General. No old line company with
drew. The companies doing business in the
state report phenomenal increase in their
general business. Their assets increased
nearly 81, 000, 000 and while the liabilities also
increased there was net gain in the surplus
Of $4,000 900 for the year. This increase is
greater than for the preceding three years
combined, the increase for the year just pre-
ceding being but s210,2S5, while for the three
years it was only between $120oO,o 900 and $15,-
100000. Commenting on this the commission
er says:
This is a remarkable increase, and shows
that the assets and surplus of these COM
panies are increasing at q very rapid rate.
A glance at the comparative increase In as
sets and surplus for the past few years is in
teresting, and is as follows:

Park Board Cuts OFF the Schools Ar
bOr Day Supply.

Today is Arbor Day, and the state offices
will be closed, but at a late hour yesterday
afternoon no order had come from Supt. Gill
bert for the closing of the city schools. There
seems to be some friction between the re-
spective departments Of the city government
in this connection. It has been the custom
for the schools to secure the young trees
requisite for the school exercises from the
park board, but this year the overtures made
by the school board were received with what
is known on the Bowery as the marble
heart This is presumed to be the reason
why no active preparations have been made
for the observance Of the day in the city

The enormous increase in surplus last year
naturally leads to the thought that the COM
panies could have we'll afforded to have paid
more to policyholders in the shape of divi-
dends. There is no legitimate reason why
companies should go to extremes in piling
up enormous assets in the shape of surplus,
which the laws do not require to be main
tanned and which should be paid back to
policyholders every year, with the exception
of reasonable margin for safety.
The total income of these companies in
creased over $11, ,000, 600 in 1895 as compared
with the previous year, and the disburse-
ments increased over s9,000,000. The income
footed up to the enormout total Of $274, ,499, ,310
and the disbursements to $192,1S9, 744, the ex-
cess of income over disbursements being
$S2, ,309, $3.50. In 1896 about 1875 per cent of the
total disbursements went for management
expenses while in 1894 34.5 per cent was used
for the same purpose; which is a step In the
right direction. but there is still abundant
room for Improvement The tables show

and the Old Man must have been
deeply affected by this renewed mani
festation of the popular esteem and
confidence. He makes the third Re-
publican ex.Congressman who will
have a seat in the next Legislature.

easy job in comprising their mischiev.
Gus and rascally schemes.
The Convention of the First Pictorial
District recognized and honored Unicoi
County in nominating j. f. Toney. 1t
was an act of sheer justice that this
loyal little county should have a Rep
resentative in the Legislature, which
she has been deprived of ever since her
organization. Mr.. Toney is a quiet,
u|uassuming gentleman. Though young
he has sound discretion and good judy
ment. His character is irreproachable
and his honesty is of sterling quality.
His Republicanism is of that kind that
never bolts a party nomination.
The gentlemen who were overturned
in these conventions are all good Re-
publicans and good men. They are
too loyal to their party to be dissatisfied
and %disgruntled. Their failure to
achieve their aspirations is no occasion
for regret OF chagrin. Other things
being equal, expediency must have the
chief consideration.
So far the Republican ticket is moi
only a good but a strong one. Every
man on it is worthy, capable and popu'
lar. They have been tested and found
to be true steel. They will lead the
Republican columns steadily anG
sturdily to a glorious victory.
