The account of the little un-
pleasantness we had with all insur-
ance agent this week has been
reported" and written up" quite
promiscuously, but we desire to
have an inning for moment. The
facts of the case are as follows:
On the 9th day Of May last we
paid Mr.. Dreisbach, who claimed
to represent the Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance Co., the sum of $3.50 as
the first quarters payment on a
$4,000 policy we had concluded to
take out in the company. He gave
us a receipt for the same, although
it was not regular one as he had
no company receipt book with him,
and stated that about the last of
May he would have the doctors ex-
animation made. We waited. The
1st of June came, but no Dreis-
bach. A letter arrived from him,
however, saying he would be here
on June 18th. We waited, but no
agent came. Last week, on the
Oath, he arrived, and stated that he
had ceased to represent the Pacific
Mutual Co. and was then represent
ing the Equitable Co. He desired
to transfer the policy coming to us
from the Pacific Mutual to the
Equitable, but we had concluded
that we did not want any insurance
at all, and so informed the agent,
at the same time asking him to re-
turn the $3.50. This he said he
could not do without first writing
to the company as he had sent the
money to them along with the APP
plication for policy. This state
ment seemed strange TO us and a
letter was written to the Pacific
Mutual Co. In answer the COM
pany stated it had never received
the application, much less the
$3.50. Upon this statement we
went to Virginia City, where the
agent was stopping, and demanded
of him our money He could not
pay it, and our mind was pretty
plainly spoken to him in regard to
his actions. Last Tuesday we had
him arrested, and Wednesday he
concluded that the best way was to
make the money good rather than
stand suit. The statement that
he gave us his note for the payment
of the money is utterly false as is
also the statement that we refused
to undergo medical examination
We were perfectly willing to trust
the young man and keep our part
of the agreement until we found he
had lied, then the case was different.
We do not know that he tried to
swindle anyone; people can judge
for themselves after reading this.

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
Credit to Whom Credit is Due.

The wisdom of Speaker Reeds course
in holding the House down to the work
which it was specially called to per
form, must be obvious to anybody
who gives the matter attention. Had
the committees been appointed ana
general legislation entered upon the
chances are that the passage of tbs
tariff bill would have been greatly de-
layed in the House with a correspond :
ing delay in the Senate, and there
would have been constant danger of its
being side-tracked for some other legis-
lation or passed only on condition that
some other bill of doubtful utility
should be passed also. With the House
open for general legislation we should
doubtless have had Cuban agitation
which would have checked the revival
of confidence, and neutrali9ed perhaps
to a large extent the good
effects of the passage of the
tariff bill AS it is the new
tariff law is launched under most ia
vorable conditions for speedy revival
of trade and industry. To Mr.. Reed

holding in check the propensity which
is always present in Il large popular
body like the House of Representatives

Chairman Dingley and Senator Aldrich
of shaping the tariff to benefit their
own friends and their own section and
have asserted that the action of the
conference committee especially IA
vored New England and the East.
This is a familiar charge, but Mr..
Aldrich met it very neatly. He re-
minded his irate Democrat and Popu-
list colleagues that 1T was impossible
n build battle ship at Omaha, but
mat was due to the geography of the
country and not to any legislative dis
elimination against Omaha and the
West" This is to the point exactly.
The Dingley tariff aims to protect
American industry, and especially
American manufacturing. as highly
developed art and one most directly
exposed to European competition. If
this benefits New England, as the DEM
ocrats and Populists complain that it
does. more than ii benefits the remain
der of the country, it was not because
that was the purpose of the authors,
but because New England has more
industries to protect.
AS matter of fact, there are several
features of the tariff in which New
England makes distinct concessions 10
southern and Western interests. Take
the duties on coarse carpet WOODS
These are not produced TO any great
extent in this country. New England
believes that under no protection can
they ever be profitably produced here.
and that therefore it would be better
for all concerned if the duty upon them
were merely nominal. But the South
and West believe that they can grow
these wools if adequate encouragement
is afforded, and the DinSley tariff gives
them all the protection they desire.
So with the duty on hides. 1t is the
relatively low one of Is per cent, it IS
true. but it was placed in the tariff be-
cause the South and West requested
it-not because New England wished
It, for 1t did not. The Democrats ana
Populists who are denouncing the tarih
as device for the enrichment of New
England are appealing to prejudicee
which still linger in the South ana
West; but, as a matter of fact, no
tariff ever formulated has been more
distinctivcly national tariff than TINS
has looked more fairly to the best
interests of all sections and all classes
of the people.
