tho surplus belongs 10 the policyholders
they ought to &c, the benefit of 1t in the
most direct way possible. His demand
was resisted by the companies. and not
long ago the Supreme Court ofthe State
decided against the commissioner. the
ground was taken that there was no law
under which the commissioner could COM
pei d division OF tho surplus, and his an-
thority wns not otherwise sufficient. The
I.cglsature has met the emergency by the
enactment OF n law as above noted
rho Philadelphia Press. from which
these statements are cleaned, says BY
way Of comment that
.The law viii. aggravate the difficult
tics already experienced By too many
and different kinds Of supervision o. the
insurance business. Under 1t no He com
pany will DC permitted to do business
In Wisconsin without dividing It's surplus
as required, while in Pennsylvania anu
New York and in other States no such
division Is required. Tho surplus cannot
we'll be divided as to Wisconsin policy
holders without also being divided as TO
those in other States. Yetlin Wisconsin
division will be necessary. or the COM
pany refusing will have to cease doing
business there"
1t seems to us that the greater prob
ability Is that many insurance companies
will stop doing business in Wisconsin,
and for their own protection the people
will finally have TO make the Legislature
repeal the law.

SATURDAY, JULY !, 1905.
Not Law in Georgia.

The outbreak Of mob violence at Wat
kinsyille, Ca. is the worst yet reported
from any Southern State. and is simply
appalling Nine prisoners were taken
from tn. Jail and eight of them were shot
to death. One escaped, but only because
the mob thought that he was dead
Among the prisoners were Il white man
and two negroes, charged with murder;
n. negro charged with criminal assault;
another negro convicted and under sem
tence of death for the murder of a
member OF his race; two other negroes
charged with crimes which were not cap
ital The white man died protesting MS
innocence; the negroes knew that their
fate was sealed and went to their doom
in silence.
We do not know the other side Of the
case, although it is said that tho men
took the law into their owl, hands be-
cause Justice was too slow for them. But
no matter what may be said on that side.
the whole affair was brutal In the eX-
treme and a 4s1iaRcc to civilization.
There was no aE2 whatsoever OF the
men. They had no opportunity as guaran-
iced tnem in the Constitution of pro-
ducing evidence III their behalf. Thoy
were taken out without judge or jury and
4 shot to death by summary decree OF the
mob. One of the victims was charged
only with having stolen n rifle, and an
nth coi1 M
der sentence Of death. But that made no
difference to the mob. It was determined
to make complete job of 1t, and slew
all alike Without reference to the nature
of the crime or tho evidence or any OK
stnuating circumstances
Such is mob law There Is no trial.
There Is no elaboration. There Is no re-
spect of persons. When, the mob goes on
the rampage, .ao ,nlans life is safe. The
citizen who demonstrated with them and
the jailer who resisted them are lucky
that they were not numbered among the
victims.
Governor Terrell greatly deplores the
terrible affair."" and says that he Will do

the mob said he. should have had a

cision that tho right to have an important

Abusing Chief Engineer J Ohm T. wal.

no good in tho present conditions. AS
this newspaper indicated some time ago..
Judging from S+he reports Of newspaper
correspondents printed In New York and
elsewhere things are not going right
with the canal. Organization is lacking.
Operations are hndered by red tape.
Persistent and stupid attempts to force

soil and surroundings for which they arc
united have caused dissatisfaction, de.
law and ineflciency. Engineer Wallace

Dcpew's Occupation Gone.

Chairman Paul Morton of the EHultn-
Bile Life Assurance Society, announces
that Senator Chnuncey NJ. Dcpew has
been notified that his annual retainer OF
$4,000 as special counsel to the Equitn-
bic Will be discontinued on July 1st;
also that n similar notification has been
sent to David b. Hill in regard to his
retainer of 5000 per nnnum.
Good for that. Now let Chairman
Morton require these distinguished at
torneys to render an ltcnlizod account
setting forth the services they have ron
dered from year to year In return for
these handsome rctainers. What has Mr.,
sDepcw$ done 10 earn $4,000 a year of the
Equnable's money, and what has Mr..
Hill done to earn 5000 a year? If they
cannot show that they have given value
received. let them be men enough to
make restitution.
There are all sorts Of graft, and IT
seems to be up to Messrs. Depew ana
Hill to show that the money which
they have been receiving from the Edui-
table is not rlghtfully Of that designa-
nation. At any rate, Chairman Morton
has determined that the society Will
lose nothing by dispensing altogether
with their services. Show your hand,
gentlemen. There Is an impression
abroad that your Service" was rendered
at Albany. Was it in lobbying bills OF
was it in preventing legislation. or was
1t in preventing investigation into the
Eouitables affairs. Show your hand.

30.-Loudoun county is as doubtful politi-s
cally, perhaps as any county whose DEM
ocratic vote will be counted after the
state primary on the ed OF August. Some
OF the Montague men say the Governor
will carry the county. Several Of the
friends OF Senator Martin think he will
carry It, have not met any Montague
men who think he will lose the county,
but have met several Martin men who
conccde that Senator Martin will lose
1t by small majority. It is the doubt
of some or the supporters OF Senator Mar
tin that influences the impartial OBJ
server TO think no will lose the county.
The result OF the gubcrnatorial contest
in Loudoun is involved In as great doubt
as the fight for the senatorship. Every

the county for his candidate. But every
Willard man made the same claim ior the
