Judging from the tone of President Hem
dricks' address to the ninth annual con-
vention of the National association of Life
Underwriters at Milwaukee, many among
the insurance men, says Bradstreet's, are
chafing under the system of state regula-
tion, and would, II they could, exchange
1t for system of national supervision.
Mr.. Hendricks said the problem involved
was one growing in Importance and de-
manding solution at no distant date. When,
he said, the ineffectiveness Of state super
vision and the abuse to which it is liable
are considered. 1t seems clear that federal
regulation Is a necessity. In several in
stances. he added. state officials have
openly and wantonly abused the powers
intrustei to them, seeking to advance their
own interests at the cost of the policy
holders, whom they were elected or ap-
pointed to serve. The president said that
he had frequent interviews and CORES
pondence with the officials Of majority
of the leading companies, and while they
had not committed themselves, they were
fully alive to the Importance Of the prob
LEM. Another evil demanding the thought
full consideration Of the insurance world
is that of rebating. This practice is on
the wane. owing largely to the influence
Of the association. and bids fair soon to
become thing Of the past. This is the
opinion of Speaker Reed, the association 9
referee. who has invariably declared that
II requires only sincere cooperation to
banish the practice forever.

Among the early Greeks suicide was
uncommon until they became cOntamina-
ted by Roman influence. Their religious
teaching. unlike that OF their Asiatic
contemporaries. was strongly opposed 10
self-destruction. While pure and manly
nation. they regarded 10 as a helnous
crime. and laws existed which heaped
indignity upon the body Of the suicide.
By an Athenian law the corpse was not
buried until after sunset and the hdhd
which had done the deed-presumably
tho right hand-was cut of ana buried
separately, as having been traitor TO
its owner.
The only suicides ever spoken OF with
respect, or anything approaching com
mendation, by the early Greeks, were
those OF purely patriotic character {,
like those OF Themist0cles and King
Codrus, both Of whom were CONSIDERED
patriots. The latter when the herd-
clidae invaded Attica. went down dis
guised among the enemy with the IN
tention Of getting slain. and having picked
quarrel with some soldiers, SuSSeeueu
in his object. The reason Tor TINS act
was that the oracle had pronounced that
the leader OF the cOnquering army must
fall; and the king sacrihced ms IRE
in order that his troops might De victo-
rious and his country saved. lheliis ~,
cles IS said TO have committed suici1 i
rather than lead the Perslans against MS
own people.-LippincOtt

ORR VISITORS.

With commendable enterprise the Rich
rnond Chamber of Commerce has sue
ceeded in arranging with the Southeast
rnn Passenger Association, embracing all
the lines Of railway running through the
States OF North and South Carolina, for
excursions to this city on the 18th, 18th
and 18th Of August at the very low rate
Of one fare for the round trip.
The great purpose which the Chamber
of Commerce has in view is to induce the
merchants Of the two Carolinas and TIE
business men generally of those States 20
visit Richmond and see her great CONNER
cial resources.
Richmond is a great trading center, and
goods can be had here in as great variety
and at as reasonable prices as they can
be had from the Northern markets. Visi-
tors VIII find that the Richmond mer-
chants are live, active and thoroughly up
to-date in all their ways. and more than
all that they are high minded Southern

We would not in an article OF this char
