Sc consideran en- Ia Peninsula las
cuestiones coloniales, causa de la

Repet1ase en- todos los tonos esta
resolution, d pesar de su caracter i'm
politico Y de Ia injusticia notoria que
revelaba en- uro de sus extremes.
Ahora tiende desaparecer esa in
justicia.
Ahora Sc trata de conceder a
Puerto Rico nuevas reformas mas
amplias aun que las contenidas en- el
primitive plan de Maura, y todavia
mucho mas que las del programa de
Abarzuza, seg-un las 1ltimas noticias
comunicadas por el cable.

parte de esta Influenza Sc deriva
de los actuales successes, que con fuer-

"
In January East Tile Times printel o.
series of editorial articles i'm advocacy of
one or more large insurance companies in
Richmond. The article attracted atten-
ton mi the time. especially among insur-
ance people, and some interest WAS
manifested in the subject bat the move
ment took 40 definite shape. We note.
however. that there VIII Doe meeting at
Southern Pines. n. g., on the Z,th in-
slant. of Southern insurance men. 20 cone
slider the question OF keeping insurance
money i'm the South. DO is asserted in
this connection that the Northern come
rauics take out Of the South in the way
of profits twenty-five million dollars
year. These figures are startling and may
Doe exaggerated. but q much smaller sum
may wcl arouse the Southern people to
reelection. There was time whom the
, South depended almost entirely on the
North for manufactured articles but
that day is past and the South has as-
certaned by actual experiments thai, it
can manufacture many articles cheaper
and better than the same goods can Doe
made in the North. And now many poo-
pe have the idea that large insurance
companies cannot be maintained except
in the large cities of the North. We bee
neve that this is mistake. There are
several Insurance companies in Virginia
and other Southern States in successful
operation. and while some have failed.
their failure was due TO their anuquated
methods of Going business. There is no
sufficient reason I'm our Judgment why
the South may not have a number OF
successful insurance companies. and the
benefits t. accrue from them are meal
cu.aIle. We are constantly complaining
in the South that We have not sufficient
capital with which 10 DO business. and
that we must look 20 the North for our
money supply and yet, as we have stat
ed above. the South is sending millions of
dollars year in insurance profits 20 the
North. These companies necessarily ac-
cumuiate large amount of money TO be
invested. and any city which has q NUM-
Der OF such companies Will surely have an
abundance Of money at low rate OF in-
terest.
We are gratAed to see that q number
OF Southern newspapers are shaving am
interest in this subject. and we hope
that substantial results will follow the
forthcoming meeting at Southern Pines.
The Savannah News says:

people insure in Southern companies il a

South can do with her own people ought

states were more favorable TO the or

so iong as Legislatures keep up their

tive lines.

ROMEYN TO BE REPRIMANDED.
The Blow Dealt O'Brien on the Pa
rade the Ground.

Atlanta. Ga, May Capt Henry
Romeyn will not be fully acquitted by the
court martial which sat on his case a week
ago. He will receive a reprimand for I'M
sodierly and ungentlemanly conduct for
his behavior on the parade grounds in
knocking Lieut. oBrien down. The court
martial practically vindicates him of the
other charges.
The members of the court were about
agreed before the conclusion Of the session
as TO the verdict, but hesitated over what
terms to employ In expressing It. They
felt that leniency was due the accused for
his loyal service to the country, extending
over a period Of thrty-four years. and
now that he is TO retire in four weeks,
they did not wish to cast any more serious
reflection on his fair record than this
There will be no immediate trial of the
charges brought by the captain against
Lieut.. Bamford and Lieut.. OBrien, as
the department believes that personal
spite largely influenced Capt. Romeyn in
preferring them. The latter Will have the
right on retirement OF applying these
charges direct to the Office Of the adiutant
general at Washington. He declares his
intention of so doing.
