The Gentle Rogers.

The Hon. JAMES T. ROGERS Of Bing-
hamton, the impassioned champion OF
judicial integrity, is to be one OF the
investigators of the Equitable. Will Mr..
ROGERS bring to his new duties his old
stock Of practises and beliefs?
As chairman Of the Assembly Ways
and Means Committee Mr.. ROGERS has
scattered appropriations with asmiling
hand. One cannot be too liberal with
the peoples money. II certain interests
in the Equitable have been little
free with the policyholders' money will
Mr. ROGERS complain?
The system has grown up in the Equi-
table Of playing ducks and brakes with
the receipts and assets. The losses
for the company; the gains for certain
officers and directors. What will Mr..
ROGERS say about this state OF thingsP
Something like this?
y admit that they are guilty and have done
wrong, but they won't do again and will DO good
men. What want Is to punish the people who
made II possible for them 10 be carried away By
temptations 70 graft
II it were not for the poGcyholders
the erring officials would not have been
tempted. Will MIR. ROGERS seek to punish
the guilty 100000?
Will the conclusion Of Mr.. RooERs's
conclusions be thisr
II believe that tho conscience Of the people
should correct indlscre,ions of officials Of life in.
surance companies. BY reason Of this case hope
. correction OF conditions will be begun. From
this time forth believe they will be better o'cersi
their conduct OF every kind will be above suspicion
and reproach. I believe tho COMMITTEES Of the
Legislature can well afford to say to them: Neither
do condemn thee: 60 and sin no more
Mr.. ROGERS Is the most forgiving and
benevolent man in Broome county.
Sinners must love him.

Plenty Of Diamonds.

The frequent increase in the price Of
diamonds during the last two years Ia no
doubt the foundation for the many
rumors Of exhausted mines and menace
OF still further contraction Of supply.
The apprehensive and the despairing
may take comfort. II there Is one man
in the world who knows all about it, and
a great deal more than any one else
knows, it is Mr.. GARDNER WILLIAMS, the
American who Is the general manager Of
the De Beers mines, from which the
worlds supply of diamonds is chiefly
drawn.
Mr.. WILLIAMS said in recent CONVEX
sation on the subject:
Tho production of the Kimberley mine. which
q alleged TO be peseing out. has averaged over .
hundred thousand loads during the last three
months, and now II Is better than 1t has been for
some time. Certainly. as everybody knows, tho
Kimberley mine u smaller than 1t was. On tho

are now working. and within six months they viii
be In full swing. Both mines arc exceeding sx-
pectatons regards Yield. and tho pos,ion Of the
company will soon be better than over"
On June 20 Do Beers declared semi
annual dividend of 20 per cent. on both
