Gated at all times, and will continue to
stacles to prosperity, which is the very
antipodes of advocating the creation
of prosperity by legislation. When the
Journal wants to see business made
better. it has no remedy but one pre-
cisely similar to that urged by the free
silver men. 1t asks somebody to pass
a law. 1t wants a tax laid on some
body or something, and q bride offered
to capital somewhere to come out of it's
hole and invest itself for the consider
alton Of an unearned profit. When the
G O b e considers what legislatures can
do to advance the prosperity Of the
people, it finds that nearly all their
power in that direction lies in the re-
peal Of unwise laws. The Journal says
that legislation can create prosperity.
The G o b e says that legislation may
be made helpful to prosperity chiefly
by removing those obstacles which
other legislation has heretofore placed
in it's way.
The people of this country, who
are intelligent, industrious, frugal
and patriotic, have an eminent
capacity for taking care of their own
affairs. They have been bamboozled
by greedy and interested parties into
tying themselves up with all kinds Of
foolish and sometimes wicked policies,
under the plea that these would add
to their business and increase their
wealth. If the whole bundle of these
interested and almost universally hurt
full regulations were repealed and the
people left free to attend to their own
interests, the country would be vastly
better off today and prosperity a pres
ent and glorious reality, instead Of be-
which one party after another holds
just out Of the reach Of the nose Of
that patient and perennially disap-
pointed animal, the public.
We have presented many times the
statistics which show that the prosper
ity which this country enjoyed several
years ago was undone by two notable
instances of paternal legislation. The
Mckinley act Of 1890 and the Sherman
silver purchase act of the same year,
both of them exactly on the line Of
what the Journal recommends, namely,
encouraging somebody by passing a
law, were the twin destroyers of Amer
lean prosperity. The G b e earnest
ly advocated getting rid Of them, and
the country went through four years
Of disaster as the price Of passing them.
Now, under the same old pretense, the
same policy is to be repeated. The
slowest people in the world to learn
anything, which the Americans are not,
would finally be taught, by few such
experiences as this, that you cannot
buy prosperity.

LEFT ON A HAND CAR.
Miss Eta Myers Departure for St.
Paul From Aberdeen.

Miss Eta Myers, who has been hay
ing a series of adventures in South
Dakota during the last two or three
months, returned to st. Paul yester-
day, having come part of the way from
Aberdeen on a hand car. which she
helped operate herself. Miss Myers
went to Aberdeen some months ago to
visit friends. Her return was cut off
some time after by the heavy SHOWS.
Since then the unreasonable actions Of
the several streams of the state have
made any attempt to reach St. Paul
not only dangerous, but impossible.
The house in which Miss Myers was
visiting had it's foundation undermined
by the food and the cistern caved i'll
just previous to her departure for
home Trains did not run within fifty
miles of Aberdeen and the streets were
half full Of dirty water Other things
tended to make life interesting, and the
final escape of the young woman for
home was made on a hand car part or
the way. A resident of the West side,
Miss Myers enjoyed all of the West
siders troubles with the high water

State Insurance Department Com
mends the Valued Policy

When the present fire insurance law went
into effect 1t was predicted that the valued pol
Icy feature would result seriously to insurance
companies. and on that grounds the law was
condemned by insurance companies. The pre-
dtcttons have not been fulfilled in the opinion
of the insurance department. Yesterday In
surance Commissioner Dearth in reply to a
letter from Des Moines man asking for
information on the subject, replied:
l would state, in this regard, that contrary
to expectations Of many, the effect OF the
valued insurance policy law has not resulted
in an increased premium rate in this state as
shown by the statements filed by the various
insurance companies during the present year
covering the business Of 1896. comparison Of
the rates for 1895 with those of 1896 show
decrease, In the total business reported. of
from $l.57 per hundred in 1896 to $1.51 in
1896; therefore you will observe this is
decrease Of cents per hundred on all bust
ness written throughout the state. In certain
cities the rates have been very materially re-
duced; for instance, in the city of st. Paul
a reduction in rates 10 the amount of Is per
cent has been made during the past year.
One of the strong reasons for this Is that the
ratio Of fire losses very materially decreased
during the year instead OF showing an in
crease. This experience is, as q matter OF
course. in direct conflict with the assertions
of many parties interested in the fire insur-
ance business. The law seems to be popular
one with the public at least evidenced by
the inability of the present legislature to
amend the law eliminating the valued policy
feature

No action was taken in regard to the
issuance of the certificates authorized

they will not be issued until they are

not be for several months at least.
