JOINT INSURANCE POLICIES.
Commissioner Dearth AmpIifes His
Recent Ruling.

Insurance Commissioner Dearth re-
affirmed his ruling yesterday on q
point which has been referred to him
several times recently, as to the per-
instability of fictitious titles on insur-
ance policies, and which he will here
after positively forbid.
AS case in fact, two insurance
companies Of Philadelphia, the Insur-
ance Company of North America and
the Fire Association of Philadelphia.
decided to write a joint policy and did
so under the heading, Joint Policy,
Philadelphia Underwriters, followed
by the names of the companies, but In
the heading the line Philadelphia I'm
derwriters" was the most conspicuous,
which Commissioner Dearth holds to
be misleading In his ruling he says:
am compelled to rule that such fictitious
titles to such policies cannot be permitted;
thew are misleading as q, evidenced by the
number of letters of inquiry l have received
from citizens Of this state. They have 70 eN-
istence whatever other than simply being
names which are used for convenience only.
When two or more companies, each having
previously complied with the laws OF this
state unite to issue joint policy, there may
be expressed in the head Of such policy the
fact Of the severa,ty Of the contractors, also
the proportion of premium to be paid to each
company and the proportion of liability which
each cmpany agrees to assume.
Under the laws of ST. a company may print
on or in its policy its name, location, date
OF incorporatfon amount of paid up capital
stock, officials and agents, etc. This prohibits
any fictitious names. No company authorized
TO transact business in the state can be per-
niitted to issue policies in Minnesota contain
ing any other than its own distinctive head
ing and when two companies issue joint
policy they may so express 1t by saying
''Ioiit policy, issued by" followed By the
names Of the companies, etc.

crown, who will select his ministry
from the majority in the legislature,
and that Cuba will also be represented
in the Spanish cortes by members elect
ed by universal suffrage. Most impor
tant of all, perhaps, he promises that
the ministry will be responsible to the
legislature and not to the governor
general"
AS far as these lines are drawn they
portray satisfactory system of local
self government, and in any event they
mark the furthest advance, that Spain
has ever made, and one to which few
people cognizant of her past have sup
posed that she would ever consent.
There is, however an essential point
omitted in that the new scheme does
not definitely provide for a system Of
Cuban finance. ! Senior de LONE does
say that taxation" will be one of the
subjects committed to the care of the
legislature. He does not say whether
Cuba will be compelled to accept the
Spanish tariff system. This is most
important item. Spain has heretofore
insisted on regulating Cuban tariffs,
whereas the tariff system of Canada is
decided by her own voters. Any salts
factory plan of autonomy most follow
the latter rule. He makes no mention
at all of debt and the meeting of the
vast expenses Of the present war. Spain
has insisted hitherto that the cost of
this revolution should be saddled on
the Cuban people. 1t is easy to see
that, if this demand is maintained, and
IT the Spanish customs are to rule in
Cuba, the grant of political autonomy
could be made worthless by imposing
on Cuba financial burdens that would
leave her as absolutely subject as ever.
Lovers of liberty, who delight not in
war for wars sake, and whose attitude
on the Cuban question has been dictat-
ed by sympathy for Cuba and not by
hatred for Spain, will welcome with
satisfaction the possibility of a reason
able settlement that appears in the new
programme of the Spanish ministry. 1t
cannot be accepted, however, until the
important omissions which we have
noted are supplied. If Spain is willing
to grant real government to the
people of Cuba, they will accept only
an emancipation, worthy of the blood
that they have shed; and such an ar
rangement would be approved by
American public sentiment, outside of
the lingo ranks, as settling the Cuban
status indefinitely, without precipitat-
ing upon the United States either the
possibility of war or of the scarcely
less to be dreaded crusade for annexa-
ton to the United States.

liberal work, work for the people and
for the race in its day and generation,
needs no word from us to understand
that we entered upRn the publication
of the facts presented in our columns
with reluctance and regret. It is incon-
ceivable to us that mans party affil-
iations should bias him when the ele-
mentary rights Of man and the dignity
and honor of this commonwealth are
called in question We have no enc
save those of justice. We wish only to
see the prison system of Minnesota,
admirable as the theory Of it is, adj
ministered by men who do not, in their
constant struggle with the evil pas
sions Of mankind, lose their own hui
mainly and degrade it and descend to
the plane of the beasts that wrestle
with and rend each other and termi-
nate their quarrels by the brutal law
of might. That there are grave abuses
we hold to have been proved absolutely
by the documents given to the people;
which have convinced men who, at the
outset, were most skeptical, but who
have minds open to the presentation of
truth. We ask of this commission that
it shall enter upon its labors with the
determination to prosecute them to
the utmost; to leave no charges unin-
vestigated; to allow no possible wit
ness to pass by unheard; to know, in
its dealings with convict or with public
official, neither fear nor favor, and to
give to the people of Minnesota, after
such an inquiry, those conclusions
which they have a right to expect of
such men as have been appointed to
execute this most responsible trust

session Of the grand council of the
Northwestern Legion of Honor yester-
day afternoon. There was a lively
contest over some of the places on the
list, especially for the office of secre-
tary, the most important and lucra-
tive position in the council. D. NJ
Rowland, who has held the office for
the past fourteen years, was looked
upon as an easy winner for re-elec-
ton, but at the last moment c. S.
Burkett, of Des Moines To-, developed
as a very formidable candidate; Mr..
Rowland was reelected however, by
the close vote of 81 to %. The fight
was also close between DR.. Ryan and
Dr.. Corey for medical examiner, but
the former was again chosen for an
other term. DR.. Corey was later placed
on the auditing board. Grand Com
mander Hodgman and Treasurer
Twombly had no opposition.
Most of yesterdays session was TAX
en- up by discussion of plans to ex-

tied to six states-Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska Kansas and the two Da-
kotas; it is now proposed to take in
Wisconsin, Illinois and several of the
Western states, and this will be set
tied at today's meeting
There was an accumulation of rou-
tine business at this session, and al
though it was intended to close yes
terday, it was necessary to extend over
another day. A number of committees
brought in their reports yesterday aft
ernoon, but these were not of general
interest and were not made public
The report of the finance committee
showed the legion to be in a flourish

SHE DIED AT TRACY.
HOW LOttie Lee, an Insane Patient
Escaped DeportatiOn

Miss Lottie Lee, an insane young
woman at Tracy. was deported by
death She had been recently ex-
anlined by a medical commission and
adjudged insane. but as she was a
resident of South Dakota, steps were
taken to send her thither for care. A
letter received yesterday by Secretary
Hart, from J. A. Hunter, of Tracy.
said that Miss Lee did not want to
return to her home, but two tickets
were purchased and her brother was
about to take her back to South Da-
kota. They had four blocks to walk
to the depot, and when about half way
there, she laid down on the sidewalk
and died Immediately. The cause is
ascribed to heart failure. She was
buried at the expense of the county,
at Tracy. f
Several other cases referred to Sec
rotary Hart We're passed upon byohim
yesterday. John Talk, who was eX-
amined and adjudged insane, in Chi
sage county, was found to be. resi-
dent of the state, although not of that
county, and was ordered committed to
the asylum. A woman who was ex-
amined in Douglas county, and a man
in st. Louis county were both found
to be insane, but they are residents
Of a neighboring state and will be re-
turned to it.

AMONG THE JoBBERs.
Business Conditions Continue to Re-
main Favorable Locally.

In one line of business, at least, a
st. Paul concern has, by live methods,
captured a big share Of custom here
tofore exclusively catered to by Chi
cago and New York establishments.
The McFadden-Mullen company, man
ufacturers of fine confectionery, now
do the bulk of the Northwestern bust
ness, and have recently been obliged
to increase their capacity. They now
occupy $4,000 feet of floor space, and
have force of eighty employees. In
speaking of business yesterday, Mr..
Mullen said to a G / o reporter:
Possibly during the era of pros
perity people can afford to indulge
their appetite for dainties, for our
business now is better than at any
previous time in the six years of our
history. Indeed, our great trouble
from now until the holidays will be to
doubled our capacity.
The price Of sugar, chocolate and
all the other ingredients has gone up
and the confectioners have been
obliged to advance the prices on their
goods, but have not done so to a suffi-
cient point yet to make good the diff
ference
There is a big stock Of chickens on
the market just now" said r. E.
Cobb, land the prices are very low.
Turkeys however, are scarce and
bring a high price. Butter is very
scarce, and good dairy butter sells for
more now than it has for years. There
is lots of game in the market, but it
brings high prices. Eggs are plenty
but there is a good demand for them
at very fair prices.
The Foley Bros e Kelly Mercantile
company, of st. Paul, are now using
Cornell-Knapp can-labeling ma
chine, which is indeed a labor saving
and effective invention. 1t consists of
a frame holding narrow tramway,
along which there is just room for
string of two-pound cans to roll below
which a mucilage reservoir, covered
by pad, covers each can as it passes
on over a label holder which presses
the uppermost label against the can,
covering it neatly and smoothly. The
capacity of the machine is from 1000
to 1900 cases, or from 2S,S00 to $4,000
cans per day. The firm will probably
add another machine for three-pound
cans in short time.

One OF these exceptions was In 1864, when
he was defeated for the nomination be-
