INSURANCE.
The report of the insurance commits
sioner and his recommendations deserve
special attention. This question of insur-
ance is one in which very many are
deeply interested. Any legislation which
can reduce the annual loss must I'M
doubtedly bring lower rates of insurance
In time. We are dependent almost wholly
on foreign companies for insurance, and
the 51,i,,,l present pre-, rates. especially on farm
hibit placing policies upon them, in most
cases.
There has been considerable legislation
on the subject of Insurance. and yet l
doubt if very much has resulted there
from to insurers or insured.
1t would seem that the only way we
can nope TO OBTAIN the mucn desired
lower rates is to reduce the average loss
SO as to satisfy the companies that they
can give it to us and yet make rea-
sonable profit.
And then have a personal interest not
only in preventing fires, but in ferreting
out and Furnishing any persons who shall
W1lfully burn property to obtain the
amounts insured thereon.
STATE PRISON AND REFORM
SCHOOL.
Your joint committees will visit the
State prison and the reform school, and
thoroughly examine everything connected
with the workings of these institutions.
The reports of the officers who have
charge of them will give you full insight
into their condition. the number of per-
sons therein. and the terms for which
they have been committed. The general
methods of conducting and governing
both should be carefully inquired into.
Not that ] doubt the excellence and cor
rectnesS of the management in all the de-
partments, but do believe in prisons, re-
form schools. and insane hospitals, Moth
ing should be taken for granted.
In this connection l would call your at
tention to the fact that under existing
laws, as l understand them, r. S. chap
ter 49, boy of only eight years of age
may be, for no very grave offence, sent
to the reform school until he is twenty
one. I believe that no boy eight, ten or
twelve years of age should be ever ire
vocably sentenced to that institution for
SO long a term: and 1 submit that it
might be wise to try, at least in case Of
youthful offenders. the Indefinite period

understandings and misstatements cur
rent in the United States.
We can now see the lengths to which
these corrupt jobbers were ready to so
in order to grasp the enormous
prize which they saw in the
proposed canal bill. The Mari
time Canaloc company is bankrupt
and ruined. All that is left to it is a
lot of worthless stock and a set Of Of
ficers who have made a good thing out
Of it thus far, and hope to make a
better. The agreement with the Nicara-
qua government by which it was au-
thoriZed to build a canal is now null
and void. 1t has no more legal right to
carry out this enterprise than any pri-
vate citizen of the United States. Mic
aragua is willing and anxious to have
a canal built If anybody wants to con-
struct it. Neither England nor any
other country wishes to have anything
to do with it. In the light of these
facts, we ought never to hear again

A CANARD EXPOSEn.

Throughout all the discussion Of the
Nicaragua canal bill from begin
ming to end and also through the de-
bate on the proposed arbitration treaty
with Great Britain, there ran a con-
slant assumption by the advocates Of
that job that the nations Of Europe
and particularly Great Britain, were
trying to forestaH the United States
and obtain the right to build the canal
themselves. We have had dispatches
periodically from Washington for the
last few years stating that Great
Britain had made overtures to Nicara-
qua, or had come to a secret under
standing with her, by which, if only the
guaranteeing Of the canal company's
bonds could be prevented, England
would obtain the concession and 60
ahead with the work.
1t was evident enough to any one
who looked at it seriously that
this was a mere bluff, part
of the scheme Of the canal pro
this governments money in their own
pockets. If there is anything that
Great Britain does not want. it is this
interoceanic canal She is enterprising
enough III foreign affairs, but she has
her own highway now across the Amer
lean continent entirely under her own
control; and if there is anything that
she would avoid, as shown by the
progress Of the Venezuelan affair, it is
coming into collision with the United
States in any quarter of the world.
Let this country announce that it is
going to build a canal across the 18TH
mus, and that will settle it at any
time, as far as Great Britain is con-
cerned. 1t does not need a bonus Of
S1O0, O00, 900 to a lot of boodIers to ac-
complish that
Furthermore, we were told. when
the state department was Informed
by the representatives Of the great
er republic Of Central America
that the canal con1pany's concession
had expired, that this was another at
tempted diversion in the interest Of
Great britain. Great Britain, it was
declared, was after that concession
and was simply trying to scare this
country off the ground Now that
the canal bill has been defeated.
for all time. let US hope, thera
is published an interview by our min
lister to Nicaragua with the president
of that country, in which the latter
states positively, first, that the conces-
sion Of the Maritime Canal companv
has been forfeited; second, that his
government would be very glad to
transfer the contract to the United
States if it wants it; ard third, that
there has been no offer from any other
government on earth to take this con-
tract if we rejected it. These state
ments are not drawn out by judicial
questioning to serve a purpose, but are

REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR.
West Vii ginIa'S J. irst One in twenty
Five Years.

CHARLESTCWN, W. Va. March AT
high noon today Hon. G. w Atkinson Rep)
took the cath Of Office on the front steps Of
the capitol, governor Of West Virginia
and the Democratic official retired. The oath
OF office was administered by Judge McWhor-
ton, the only Republican Of the supreme
court, and elected at the same time. The
inaugural address was lengthy and outlined
the policy which will be a progressive one.
This Is the first time for twenty-five years
that the Republicans have controlled the
state
The city was filled with people from all
over the state the pent-uP enthusiasm Of the
Republicans for thirty years burst forth in
all its magnitude Long before the hour for
Inauguration the surging mass CT people gath
cred in front Of the state house in order to
be in position to see the most popular man
In West Virginia inaugurated as the chief e1-
ecutive Of the state. Gov. McCorkIe in a
splendid oration introduced tho governor-elect
to the anxious populace Gov. McCorkle paid
a splendid tribute to Gov. Atkinson who in
twenty minutes speech outlined the policy
of his administration.
At O'Clock monster parade formed on
Kanawha street and marched over the prin-
cipal streets Of the city. 1t was reviewed by
the governor and staff and invited guests
from grand stand erected in the capitol
yard. At 1870 a grand display Of fireworks
was given and at O'Clock the governors re-
ccp.ion took place followed by the grand ball
and banquet.

comfort this for Cuba and Hawaii; a
repetition of the Cleveland policy. They
are the words Of a sober ruler of a
great nation, but we await an out
burst of passionate resentment from
Cameron and Lodge and Hoar and the
bellicCse Chandler.
These contrasting portions of the
message picture to US the man of
strong prepossessicns, of a policy here
tofore limited to single idea, of views
somewhat crude, but all beginning al
ready to be tempered and broadened
by the heaviest responsibility that can
come to man. The saving grace is the
note of fidelity to duty, of a desire to
serve the people well. Despite the crit
icism to which the message is open,
we catch in much of it, and especially
il the simplicity and strength of its
closing sentences, gIimpses Of a man
who, if he have strength to follow duty
even when it divides ways with party,
may not be unequal to the wonderful
opportunity that at last lays its de-
mands and its dangers at his feet.

BADLY NEEDED.

IL any rurther argument were needed
to establish the value Of civil service
reform for cities, and the pcopliety OF
passing law to put it int effect If

that 1t matters nothing whether an Of

ness ard fidelity count for nothing.
and the moral sense Of the public is
shocked as its business interests are
impaired and imperiled by the selection
of political favorites for the places Of
experienced men who have been ousted
simply to create vacancies.
Two recent changes are especially
in point. For months the council has
been torn up over the question of
choosing a superintendent for the
police patrol telegraph system. 1t is
admitted by everybody that the present
incumbent is well qualified for the
place, and has discharged his duty to
the general satisfaction. Nc preterse
is made that the work is not properly
done. No other argument is advanced
for substituting another man than that
he wants it and deserves it because he
rendered certain services to the Re
publican candidates. So weighty are
these facts, even among average politi-

clans, that 1t has taken more than
half a dozen caucuses to get a council,
solidly Republican, with the exception
of a single member, to brand itself by
turning good man out Of Office to put
an unknown man in.
The same thing is true, in an even
more marked degree, of the changes
on the school board Let it be
understood clearly that we do not
reflect upon Mr.. King, who wants
to have charge Of the pa
troll telegraph, or upon either Of the
named for school inspectors. What we
want to emphasize is the ridiculous
and scarcely less than criminal policy
Of turning out man who has learned
his business until he knows how to
perform it to the best public advan-
tage in order to put in man without
experience, who, with the best inten-
lions, and with good natural ability,
must necessarily serve some years be-
fore he can administer his office as
satisfactorily 20 the people as the one
whom he succeeds.
Taking up the case of the school in
spectors, it is admitted on all sides that
the men who were not reappointed
were coed men, had done good work,
and had nothing against them except
the fact that they were not appointed

them have done excellent work on the
board, the case Of DR. Abbott is espe-
cially strong. The G. D D " does not
know what Dr. Abbotts political be
lief is, nor does it care. 1t does know
that he has been president Of the
school board, and has given to it an un-
usual amount Of personal attention
and personal interest. The schools Of
this city owe a large debt to DR.. Abb
bOtt fer his willing sacrifice Of large
private interests in the discharge Of a
duty without special attractions and
without remuneration. He was not
mere peg in a hole, he was not con-
tent to go through the official routine,
f! but he devoted hours and days and
weeks to familiarizing himself with the
details of school work and school needs
until he became thoroughly posted in
every particular.
Now what sense is there in allow
ing such a man tc retire when his
term of office is up? The knowledge
that he has acquired is worth thou
sands Of dollars to the city. Our school
funds are insufficient and the need Of
the hour is to make economies where
they will hurt least. At this moment,
when acquaintance with the work is Of
inestimable value, that man who knows
most about it and who has shown him
self rarely skilled in dealing with it, is
asked to step down and give place to
a successor who has everything to
learn, without any assignable reason
save that somebody asks his place in
the name Of the Republican party
There is not a business interest in this
city down to that carried on in the
pettiest shanty, that could be managed
in such way. To act thus is a crime
against the great business enterprise
in which all Of us are partners, and
whose name is the city government.
Since public protest is wholly unavail-
| ing to prevent the prostitution of
public to private interest, let US have,
as soon as may be- a civil service
act that will put an end to it.
