An Insurance Scheme.

In the "Insulance" column of n OF
the afternoon papers of New Orleans
the following appeared recently:
"The constitutional convention con-
venes tomorrow, Tuesday, the eighth.
The underwriters who take any inter-
est in the proceedings and their welfare
will have something come up to inter
est them and ask their support. One
matter will be the prohibition of lrres-
ponsibie insurance companies being
organized in this State, either fire, ma
rine, life, accident or fraternal. as also
those of other States transactlng busl-
ness in this State. Such a provision,
with strong laws, to be enacted by the
legislature, will be a desideration OF a
long felt want"
The insurance monopoly has had Its
hands at the throat of weak legislatures
for years, and now it is publicly an
nounced that an effort is to be made to
capture the Constitutional Convention
and have such provisions in the cOnstl-
tuition as will place the people for years
to come in the power of the trust.
The scheme is stated in Il very subtitle
manner iii the above announcement.
By the suppression Of irresponsible in
surance companies the trust means to
eliminate local INSURANCE. companies
and take from the people the right of
smutnal protection sacured by local or
Aanizations, which lave been forced
iGNexistence by ~ robber methods of
the WNst~
On irsTace the insurance scheme may
appear feasible, bust is heavily load
ed and will bear the closest scrutiny.
Some provision to force insurance
companies to do business on an honest
basis is what the people demand
lberville South.
Speaking of the result Of the recent
election the States says: "This is not a
victory over the negro. 1t is Il victory
over negro suffrage, over ballot box
stufling and fraud, and over threaten
ed revolution. 1t is IL happy result for
white citizens and it is a blessing to the
negro. He will be protected in all his
rights, in his life, liberty, property and
earnings. He will be more respected,
and instead of being regarded as a
threat to civilization and an ele-
ment Of gross corruption in gu,
politics he will have the good will,
and if he is honest and industrious, the
esteem of the white man. This will be
of infinitely greater advantage to him
than the possession of the franchise
which he has everywhere, in every era
so grossly abused.n
