Only A CoRPoRAL's GUARD

A careful analysis of the faux pas so
successfully accomplished at Turnver-
Elm hall yesterday convinces The Herald
that the push" could not have COM
manded more than ten or a dozen votes
had the matter come to an issue. A
number of the members of the commit
tee who signed their names to the call
have acknowledged that they did so
without understanding the real object
of the proposed meeting. OF those who
answered to the roll-call, fully two
thirds would have opposed any action
antagonistic to the call for primaries
issued by the executive committee.
This fully justifies the claim made
by The Herald yesterday that there is
only corporals guard of the mischief
makers. They are not entitled even to
the dignity of being called a faction.
Let us hear no more foolish talk in
party councils about Cancellation" or
harmony with a big H) when dealing
with this ragged remnant of a once mis-
chievous gang. 1t is not necessary to
conciliate them, but simply to expose
them in order to defeat their schemes

the chair, Herzog temporarily accepting

They'd vowed to watch and do their best

Slow licked the clock; they said no word:

Against Fake Insurance COM
panieS.
A few of the papers are criticising
the administra tion Of Insurance Com
missioner Dearth for the way in
which he ha~ dealt with certain mu-
tual hail insurance companies. They
claim that these companies should not
have been relicensed. Mr. Dearth
said the same thing himself nearly a
year ago when he prepared his annual
report and called the attention OF the
incoming legislature to the defects in
the law. The law under which hail
insurance companies are organized
leaves very little power in the hands
of the commissioner and is scarcely
any protection to the insured.
Mr.. Dearth did everything he could
under the law for the safety of the
policy holder but he could not prevent
these companies that did not pay their
losses from obtaininga license. The
fault is in the law and not in Mr..
Dearth's administration of it,
Mr.. Dearth has made an excellent
insurance commissioner and it is very
unjust to criticise him for these
things which the law took entirely
out of his hands. In his annual report
he recommends certain changes in the
law, which if made, will prevent fake
hail companies from operating here
after.

whole city. The wave carried the sloop
several miles inland, and finally land
ed her in the midst Of tropical forest.
1t was impossible to release her from
such peculiar position. and the gov
ernment sold her for n nominal sum.
The purchasers turned the vessel into
hotel, and the remains of the once
formidable war vessel loom up in the
tropical forest today as a monument
to the power of tidal waves.
Among other cases of disaster which
are attributed to the violence of the
waves or weather there is none more
interesting than that of the strange
fate of the Saratoga. When she sailed
from Philadelphia in October, 1850, un-
der the command of Captain James
Young, there was no finer or hand
somer war vessel afloat. That she was
as formidable as she was attractive
she soon demonstrated in q practical
way. After cruising around a short
time she captured three British ves-
sells in succession, and then, with her
prizes, she started to return to Phila-
delphia. But on the Delaware Capes
she encountered a British ship of the
line. AS the Saratoga carried only
eighteen guns and the Intrepid was a
seventy-four gun ship, Captain Young
considered it safer to run away. The
enemy did not chase her far, but re-
turned to protect and recapture the
British prizes. The Saratoga sailed
away in the very teeth of a storm, and
| she was never heard from again. Did
| she founder at sea in the gale, or was
she blown up by her own magazines?
There were some peculiar accidents
| to our naval vessels in the past that
are accounted for, but, while the mys-
terry of their loss is removed and ex-
planned, the strangeness of their mis-
haps is no less interesting. For in
stance, there is the sinking of the
| United States sloop- of-war Oneida in
1869. She was bound home from Yoko-
hama, but when a short distance from
! port the British steamer Bombay ran
into her and cut off her stern. The
injury was so mortal that the Oneida
| Immediately fired her gun of distress,
but in the darkness the Bombay crew
crept away instead of returning to
assist her. In a short time the sloop
went to the bottom. carrying all of her
crew with her. When the news reached
Yokohama the captain of the British
steamer was mobbed by the indignant
populace, and he was dismissed from
the service in disgrace.
Hurricanes have been responsible
for the wreckage of several of our
naval vessels other than those at Sa-
moa in 1889. The brig-of-war Bain-
bridge was turned over by hurricane
off Cape Hatteras in 1868, and every
body on board was lost, except a col
ored cook, who managed to cling tc
pieces of the wreck until picked up
