Not Out of the Woods Yet.

Many are the changes rung on the
old joke which suggests that the ply
sician is more or less dangerous
person. But sometimes the stories are
so naive as to have sort of novelty.
Flows your husband getting
along?" somebody asked Mrs. Cutting,
whose lifelong companion had been
seriously i'll with pneumonia.
"Well, don't know what to say"
Mrs. Cutting answered, with the slow
ness and indecision which characterize.
ed all her speech and actions. "You
know we've had young Doctor Morse
here to him from the first, and at the
worst we had old Doctor Green from
the Center, too. We'll, the last time
Doctor Green came he said to me, Mrs
Cutting, we may now call him out OF
danger So suppose | might say
he is, and yet it don't seem much like
1t. with Doctor Morse coming every
day"

NATIONAL REGULATION OF INSURANCE.
BY John ". Walsh.

The magnitude Of the insurance business the
extent to which it pervades all the States of the
Union; the deep interest which all the people
have In the sound and economical administration
or the business; the various State regulations to
which 1t is subject, and the long train Of abuses
which flow therefrom have at last arrested the
attention Of the country to the important ques-
ton whether Congress should or has the power

New York, May 6.-Liquidation in stocks was
arrested this week and an effective rally fol-
lowed, but the selling renewed and prices
touched lower levels than last week. In conse-
quence, sentiment has continued unsettled and
uncertain. The weakness has given rise to APP
prehension that hostile plans were in contem-
plation as result of failure to adjust the
railroad control in the northwest.
1t was feared here also that the lack of con-
hdence developed in the stock market was haV-
ing reflection on general business, with the
danger of curtailing the demand for future
production and contracting business activity.
The tone of the opening quotations in stocks

....f NEW L DIX Mall. . - {
A new Mexico is growing up in old
Mexico, which may Some time become
a thorn in our flesh. 1t is not merely a
Mormon Mexico-it is a crank Mexico
Of various kinds. -.,...- ...>-
1t is well known that the Mormons
have six fourishing polygamous colonies
in northern Mexico The Mormons do
not believe in race suicide, and they
are multiplying very fast in the land of
the Hidalgos. In the United States
proper they have increased in numbers
in sixty years from a mere handful to
between 100000 and 100000 people. In
another half century they may, by nat
ural growth and European prosetytiza-
ton, build up community as large as
that in Mexico. If they should. the
Mormon element would be politically
preponderant in the northern part of
the republic, and their communities
would afford safe breeding ground fo1
all sorts of Mormon notions hostile to
American principles, besides polygamy
But the Mormons are not all. Dowie
otherwise Elijah the prophet, has got
together funds by the aid Of which he
has purchased 100000 acres of lanc
in the state Of Tamaulipas, also in
northern Mexico, and announces his i'm
tention to colonize 10000 of his fol
! lowers there. If he does, they may
starve, but on the whole his American
Zion has been rather successful com
munity. It certainly fourished so Ions
as he kept his eye and hand on it.. No
do these fanatics believe in race suicide
They are likely to multiply and spread
I There are several socialistic colonie
IN Mexico also, but these are negligible
The. communities of religious fanatic
are those which are likely to grow. Pre-
| clsely what the MeXicans have in view
in encouraging them we cannot tell. TO
the Meixcans canhot hope to assimilat
and Mexicanize them. Neither the Mex
