HERE AXE lntimations. TOO
significant to be disregard
n ed, that the time is drawing
near when the government
of the United States, through it's de-
partment of state, will have, in the
expressive vernacular, ito fish or cut
bait' with respect to China. A situa-
tion is likely at any moment to develop
which will bring the American nation
to the necessity of deciding between
radically variant alternatives in re-
spect to the commercial and political
future Of the Chinese empire.
Before the war with Spain inter-
vened, far seeing men at Washington,
who We're alive to the commercial i'm
portance of China when opened to
modern influences, and who realized
that under proper conditions the United
States might reasonably expect a large
export trade with that great oriental
empire, were considering what policy
our government should define toward
the impending (and, as many believe,
the inevitably dismemberment of China
While the war with Spain temporarily
interrupted this consideration of sug-
gested policies it also, providentially
as many think, gave into American
control, in the Philippine islands, a
strategic and commercial base calcu-
lated immeasurably to augment our
proper interest in the Chinese problem
We were then a distant power con-
cerned only remotely in Chinas fu-
ture; but today we are a near neighbor,
with a concern heightened by propin-
guilty which none can dispute or disre-
gard,
Two courses lie open. We may Join
in the dismemberment, claiming and
enforcing an equal share: or we may
lay down the dictum that Spheres
of European influence" created in
China will receive American recogni-
tion only upon condition that treaty
rights now existing shall be perpetu-
ated in them without discrimination;
in other words, the open door" The
former alternative would tar us with
Europe's dirty stick: the latter would
be likely to defeat i'm some instances
the chief purpose of European aggres-
sion in China. The former is not con-
siderable for an Instant the latter may
mean friction, resistance, possibly In
the long run war. But in the latter
course we should have the cooperation
of Great Britain, whose interests
in an open door are parallel with
our own; and if we shall adopt
it with resolution, putting into readi-
ness for use if needed the naval
strength which We possess, 1t will offer
the better chances Of success and pre-
serve unto the future rights which it
were criminal to yield up.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-11-01

sessments to be levied upon surviving
members. The security Of such insur-
ance depends necessarily upon the abil-
ity Of the association to compel the
payment of assessments by survivors.
If survivors can release themselves
from the liability TO respond TO
assessments when levied to meet
death claims, then the security
of the insurance is lessened or de-
stroyed If on the other hand the as
sociations can compel survivors to re-
spOnd TO assessments when levied to
meet death claims, then the members
have entered into contract which can
end only with their own lives. and per-
haps not even then. Such liability is
consequently indefinite as to time, and
unlimited as to its pecuniary amount.
The decisions of the courts are not
uniform, but in a large majority Of
cases they indicate that in becoming a
member of an assessment association a
man makes himself liable for assess
ments during the remainder of his life,
even although his own insurance shah
have ceased"
a different illustration might be cited
In the case of policy-hoders in certain
regular companies who, after accept
ance of an apparent discount in pre-
miums conditioned upon cash payments
in advance, afterward sign lien notes
for the amount of the discount without
having Investigated fully as to the ma
ture and effect of the lien in its bearing
upon the liability of the policy or hav-
ing considered the possibility that an
INSCRIPTIONS agent, to protect himself
against the anti-rebate law, might
himself forge signatures to lien notes
and be off to other fields ere the forgery
was detected. Such practices are hap
PLY infreQuent; but they contribute a
substantial reason why the candidate
for insurance should do business with
agents and companies oc known rell-
ability only.
