In His Favor In Insurance Case

Hancock Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany VS.. William Lawder and James Rey-
nolds. the appellate division OF the su-
preme court today handed down its de-
cision in favor OF William Lawder as
executor of the last will of Mary A. Law
der.
The latter was stepmother OF one
Katie A. Lawder. a young child. Rey-
nolds was administrator on the child $
estate and claimed the stcpmother had
no insurable interest in the child's life.
This the court says is a question for the
insurance company alone. Mrs. Lawder
paid all the premiums until her death.

Oepositors Of Broken DanveTs
Bank to Receive Dividend

Peabody. Mass, Feb. i3-"within
the South Danvers National Bank to-
day, II hope and expect TO pay di-
vidend of 20 per cent. to depositors. and
i have no doubt that the excitement
which now seems to prevail over the
failure of the bank will subside and that
"A better feeling will exist. The stock
holders, who have been assessed 100 per
cent, are paying the assessments as well
as expected"
Receiver Hampton also stated that al
though the first payment of the assess
ment will not be due until Feb. 2l, the
money was coming In RAPIDLY. Only a
few shareholders had notified him that
they would be unable to pay and these
were small holders.
The receiver is not disposed to be hard
upon those who cannot meet the call.
lie will make an investigation I'm each
case and IL he finds that hardship and
destituton will follow. the assessment
will not be enforced. The terms for the
payments by all stockholders have been
made reasonable. The money is payaDle
In four installments. the last of which
will not be due until May q.
Mr. Hampton desires TO settle up the af-
fairs OF the defunct institution as rapidly
ras possible. and while he makes no dot-
mite estimate of the time IL will take, he
Is quite sure that the banks affairs will
be fully settled at the end OF two. years.
The receiver has the bank buil6ng on
his hands. and this will be sold. IL Is
thought that n new trust company NAV be
organized to take the place " the bank.
although some OF tho business men do not
think this step advisable
IL has been intimated that should Geo.

perhaps it is the following /:

perhaps it is the following:
"That the law with respect to the
assessment of all property can be so
amended, supervised, and enforced
as to secure uniformity OF assess
ment and enormously increase
the tax upon classes Of property
which now escape wholly or in part,
there is not the slightest reason to
doubt"
A primary election law next
receives the governors attention,
and he gives the subject exhaustive
consideration, with forcible argu-
ments for the enactment of the prin-
ciple into law. He says in part:
The demand of the voter to-day
is clear and explicit. He asks that
there be restored to him the citizens
right to vote directly for the party
nominee of his choice. He asserts
that denial of this right, or doubt of
his ability to exercise it, is an inn
parchment OF the principle upon
which state and national government
is based. There is no valid objec-
ton which can be interposed to this
reasonable demand upon the part Of
the citizen, and l submit that the
legislature should primarily address
itself to the business of framing law
that shall accord to him, in full
measure, the sovereign power of the
ballot.
Attention is given to the condition
and needs of Education as to the Dis
trict Schools, the University, the
Agricultural College, and the Nor
nal Schools; the Charitable, Penal
and Reformatory Institutions; the
National Guard. The governor has
something to say concerning Trusts
and Monopolies; the legislative
Lobby; Improvement of Highways
and number of other subjects of
lesser but of pronounced Importance.

prehensive review of the conditions

The administration in charge OF
the government does not control the
weather but it does affect the econ
omic conditions of the country sim
ply because of the temper of the
people for the time being. Cotton
is $50 bale as against SIS under the
Cleveland administration. Is the
difference attributable to the admin
istration? AT first thought it would
seem absurd to make such claim,
and yet practically it amounts to
that, with especial reference to the
mood of the people, and not to the
administration as an active agent.
The advanced price for cotton is
owing solely to the increased de-
mand. The confidence of business
men in the policy of the present adj
ministration as the agent of the Re
publican party developed tremen-
dous industrial energy. That is the
cause of the increased demand. The
business men of the country did not
give Cleveland's administration their
confidence because they had no faith
in the policy Of free trade and in
dustrial stagnation resulted as a con-
sequence.

The Governors Message.

Governor La Follette's message
to the legislature deals in practicali-
ties. Every statement is a business
proposition, presented in a plain,
earnest, straightforward, business
way. There is no conscious attempt
at oratory and no platitudes of "glit-
tering generalities," but the whole
document is written in sententious
and classic diction. The message
is long but the topics discussed are
of such live and positive importance,
treated in such an interesting man
ner that no one will become weary
in reading what the governor has to
say to the Legislature and the rest of
the people OF the state concerning
the condition and needs of the COM
monwealth. The message is an
able state paper and acknowledge as
conservative.
Gov. La Toilette gives his atten-
ton to the subjects discussed in the
order of their important :e and de-
votes the time to their discussion
that their weight demands.
Taxation commands his first at
tention and to this subject the most
space is devoted. His st atements on
this vexed and compile lted subject
are worthy of careful consideration.
He goes over the whole ground in a
comparatively exhaustive, way, de-
voting nearly one half of his message
to this absorbing subject. Extracts
from the governors remurks on this
point will give a lame account of the
argument. Every voter should read
what is said in this message in re-
gard to taxation and the governors
recommendations toward reform.

Renort of Tax Commission.

gest measures to more equally adj
Just the burdens of taxation made
their first report at the opening of
the legislature. This Commission
has a limitation of ten years in which
to perfect a matured system of
assessment and taxation, but it is
made obligatory upon the members
to report at the beginning of the
sessions of the legislature such sug-
gestive methods as their investiga-
tons up to the time warrant.
In this their first report the Com
mission recommend that the license
fees collected from railways be in
creased 100000 a year; that the
license collected from street railway,
be increased $4,000 a year; that the
tax collected from telegraph and
telephone companies be increased
$4,000 a year; that the license
fee system of taxing certain quasi
public corporations be maintained
until tests are made to determine
results from which comparisons can
be made as to what such properties
should pay if taxed on the ad yalo-
rem basis.

From Nov. 1-30, length OF the
open season for deer hunting this
last fall, 1858 deer were killed and
shipped. How many were killed and
used by people who had no occasion TO
ship them is not known as no record
Of these could be readily obtained
There were issued 30, 0s7 licenses for
hunting of which 80 were issued to
nonresidents, and the license fees
received amounted to 1872. 3l6. This
amount was all absorbed by the game
wardens for salaries and expenses!

they will not ask for an appropriation
