THE PEOPLE DISCRIMINATE.

The American people know how to
discriminate. The exposure of the
big insurance grafters in New York
pie would lose confidence in all insur-
ance companies and officials. The
contrary is true. They have begun
TO study men and companies with
the result that they are placing their
insurance in companies that have
clean hands, and much of it is prop
erly being placed with home COM
panes. The absurd notion that the
company with the biggest business
and biggest surplus is the best has
been exploded for all time. eople
look more to wise management and
honest officials than to size.
AS proof that people know how to
discriminate, one of the chief causes
the last election was the insurance
scandals at which officials had Winked.
But, denouncing insurance grafters, in
great insurance companies, the people
won their most signal victory in Ohio.
under the lead of Mr.. John NJ. Patti
son, president of the Union Central
Life Insurance Company. 1t is q
strong company--one Of the best, and
its president has stood out conspicu-
ously for honesty and reform in
private and N public. The salary
he received was in keeping with the
salaries OF other trusted officials in
Cincinnati, not onc-ffth of the sum
paid to the big New York presidents,
and no breath of scandal has attached
TO his management. The people are
determined to end the Insurance
scandals and ROBBERY, but they dis
eliminate in their action and officials
who can show clean hands need have
no fears that the public indignation
against the corrupt or eXtrayagant
officials will be directed toward them
and companies managed IN The in
terest of policy-holders will not suf-
fer because the people are determined
to punish those that have been either
corruptly or extravagantly managed.

REBATE LAW EVASION.

The most instructive practical dem

ernmental regulation of RAILROAD rates
lie in the grounds alleged in the va
rious suits brought by the government
against great carrying and shipping
corporations as being attempted eva
sions of the statutes forbidding the
started by the government reveals
a scheme of evasion which is individ-
ual and yet characteristic. The latest
is the plan by which the great Pabst
Brewing Company has been obtaining
special rates over certain railroads.
The petition which is to be forced
to a hearing by the government. is
against the Milwaukee Refrigerator

Railroad Company; the Chicago, RoC<
Island and Pacific Railroad Company;
st. Louis and San Francisco Railroad
Company: the Wisconsin Central Rail-
road Company; the Chicago and Alton
Railroad Company, and Pabst Brew
ing Company, and a statement of
the facts on which it is based is that
st appears that the Pabst Brewing
Company are large shippers of beer
over the variouy railroads running
from Milwaukee. Some OF the princ1-
pal stockholders of that corporation
organized and own the Milwaukee
Refrigerator Transit Company, COR
poration- operating private cars. TO
the latter corporation the control Of
the shipments of the Papst Brewing
Company was given by an agreement
entered into between the TWO corpora
