Two Chambers of Commerce
Against One.

The Boston Herald points out that,
the chamber of commerce of that VEN
cradle city having resolved against
the Hanna-Payne shipping bill. it must
therefore be a pernicious piece of leg
islation. Years ago Boston was more
largely interested in merchant ship
ping than any other city in the coun-
try" asserts the Herald. land it's
chamber of commerce has a right to
speak on the subject of shipping with
both judgment and authority"
Undoubtedly it has, but the "judg-
ought not to be confounded with the
views of senility. If Boston has fallen
behind other cities in her shipping,
that is her misfortune The fact that
she has been unable to keep it in COM
petition with other ports hardly justi-
fies the conclusion that her opinions
should be respected by other and more
progressive cities.

Paul and Portland, Or, send greetings
to their aged Boston friend, and the
announcement that they see much in

fore us.

A Federal Insurance Law.

Before the adjournment Of the present
congress a bill for federal supervision
of insurance companies is likely to be
brought to its attention. Such a meas
ure is already in professor preparation,
through the influence Of certain East
ern companies. and, apparently, it finds
favor in insurance circles throughout
the country. The object sought is to
avoid alleged pernicious interference
through examinations conducted by
state insurance departments These, the
companies claim, are in many cases
oppressive, not only in eXactions and
limitations, but also in the various
fees char ged for-such services Recent
examinations, conducted by Judge
Foote, of Kansas. are cited, among
others, which are claimed to be OBJ
jectioDable methods pursued by state
officials.
There is now in the hands of the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce a bill, introduced by Senator
Plat, of Connecticut, in 1887, providing
for national supervision of insurance
companies. Some of its features are
admitted to be commendable But 1t
is claimed that it does not fully cover
the ground. 1t is urged that it utterly
fails to do away with state examina-
tons, thus placing the companies in
charge Of a dual supervision, which
would result in confusion and incon-
venience.
There is. however. a question con-
corning the constitutionality of such a
measure. AT the September meeting
of the national convention of insur-
ance companies, at Milwaukee. Hon.
John A. Finch, of Indianapolis, direct
ed attention to the fact that, so far.
all federal supreme court decisions
had held that insurance, not being
commerce. was not within the juris-
diction of the constitution. 1t is the
opinion Of Judge Finch that until such
opinions are reversed it will be found
impossible to gain relief from congress.
The New York Bulletin believes. how
ever. that such supervision is a con-
stitutional possibility. and cites the
antiquity of the decisions, and the diff
ferent conditions now existing Mainly
through the efforts of the Bulletin. the

Gov. Lind's First Veto.

The governors first veto was that of
the bill giving $19.975 bounty to the
company that has been experimenting
with the manufacture of sugar from
the Minnesota beet. The governor con-
cedes that there is no question about
the bounty having been earned or of
the moral obligation of the state to
pay it, He points out that there is
ample time before the adjournment for
the legislature to redeem this obliga-
ton by a simple relief measure.
On principle the governor is opposed
to bounties their only iustifiability be-
ing "a theory that it is good public
policy to encourage men to undertake
an industry which. when established,
would be of lasting advantage to the
commonwealth" Even then the period
OF their operation and their maximum
amount ought, he insists. to be fixed by
law. The fact that the vetoed measure
contained no such provision is regarded
by the governor as ample justification
for his veto. To go on indefinitely pay
ing bountieS he holds to be a species
of juggling with the public funds. a
method of applying the money of one
and therefore it is unjustifiable from
the point Of view of taxpayers general
ly.
In this he is undoubtedly right. We
have seen on a national scale how the
bounty system not merely protected

HER HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY.
Temperance Women Mark Anniver-

The death of Frances E. Willard &C.
CURED year ago yesterday, and in
commemoration of what the women Of

heavenly birthday Of the famous white
ribboner the Somerset union held me-
mortal exercises yesterday afternoon in
the lecture room of the Young Mems
Christian association. Mrs. Addie Blk
by-Upham, president of the Somerset
union, presided After a Scripture
reading and the singing Of a hymn,
Mrs. Upham introduced as the speaker
of the afternoon Mother Prindle, of
Minneapolis, who has charge Of the
Florence Crittenden home there Mrs
Prindle, during her twenty years ex-
perience in slum work in the East,
often met and worked with Frances
Willard and her interesting talk yes
terday was on the life work of the ia
nous woman. The speaker told of her
first meeting with Frances Willard,
over twelve years ago, in Chicago,
where both were engaged in rescue
work She told, of the utter lack Of
narrowness and prejudice of any kind
that Miss Willard always displayed,
and of her deep enthusiasm for her
work. Mrs. Prindlei gave an account
of two other meetings with Frances
willard, In LONDON, during the nation
al w. c. T. U. convention there, and
four years ago, in Boston, when Miss
Willard and Lady Henry Somerset ad-
dressed q monster mass meeting of

Mrs. PriEdle is an eloquent speaker,
and when she spoke so touchingly of
those familiar meetings with their be-
loved leader, there were few dry eyes
among her audience.
Mrs. Bessie Laythe Scovel, state
president of the w. c. T. u, made a
short address. She took for her sub
ject the large heartedness Of the wom-
an, the anniversary of whose death
they We're concentrating. The grand
est thing about Frances Willard said
Mrs. Scovel, was the deep love she had
for humanity ssNo man or woman could
fall SO low as to be beneath her SYM
pathy or beyond the reach of her help
ing hand. The speaker said all might
draw lesson from that devoted life
for there is nothing SO helpful in the
world, nothing SO far-reaching in its
influence as that greatest Of all things,
charity for our fellow men.
Mrs. Scovel read a touching little
poem, by Katherine Lente Stevenson,
written in memory of the first anniver-
sary of Frances Wizards death

Audience at the Peoples Church.

T.. Hopkinson Smith Delights an
Audience at the Peoples Church.
Col. Carter, of Gainesville, that ir-
responsible railroad promoter and scion
Of one of the first families of Virginia,
sah," appeared in flesh and blood last
evening in the Peoples church, where
his Greater, T. Hopkinson Smith. i'm
personated him before a delighted au-
dience.
The church was filed with readers Of
Mr.. Smiths book, who were familiar
18th the principal character and his
friends, and they followed Mr.. Smith
with the closest attention and the
heartiest appreciation as he read chap
ter after chapter from his novel. They
laughed with him, and there were times
when eyes became moistened as a pic
ture Of unusual pathos was presented
ty ths distinguished reader, and sew
eral times they applauded clever
point or a dramatic climax.
The author of Col. Carter, of Carriers
vile, Is credited with the possession of
more different sets of brains than any
other living person. He has long been
known as g. civil engineer. a contrac-
tor, an artist, a writer, and in each
branch of work specialist of rare tai
emit To these accomplishments is now
to be added that of an actor. for his
performance last night throughout was
as fine a piece of character playing as
has beer seen on any stage. Col Car
ter and his friends were portrayed
with the delicacy of an artist, and with
a wealth Of detail and mannerism that
showed their author to be intimately
acquainted with his subjects and his
ground.
When Mr. Smith introduced Col. Car
ter, that worthy took the center of the
platform and the audience refused to
believe that Mr.. Smith and not the
colonel was before them, for Mr.. Smith
dropped his individuality and became
the colonel in fact Each character
was treated the same way, the major,
