INSURANCE OFFICIALS INDICTED.


The finding of indictments against
some of the highest officers of two of
the big life insurance companies in
New York makes 1t certain that the
criminal character of their acts re-
vealed in the Armstrong investigation
will be tested. The indictments bring
the grave charges of forgery, perjury
and grand larceny against men who
until recently were presidents and vice
presidents.
The testimony before the joint legis
lative committee disclosed not only
appropriations by officers of Insurance
funds of so gross and extravagant
character as IN some instances to war
rant the inference OF collision to rob,
but also manipulations of accounts
and official reports regarding them.
Among the most serious disclosures
was the fact that immense sums were
thus distracted and used for maintain
ing great Hobbies and otherwise unduly
and, presumably, corruptly influencing
legislation, because the real object and
transaction were deeply covered up
from public authority and the policy
holders by falsely charging the
amounts to accounts which on their
face we're innocent.
1t will hardly avail in defense against
indictments for forgery and grand lar
ceny to plead that such practices have
been common heretofore. They are OBJ
viously gross violations of duty which
have caused enormous loss to the pol
icyholders, and 1t is believed they are
distinct violations of the letter as we'll
as the spirit of the law which can now
be punished. Vigorous prosecution
will at least admonish administrators
OF great corporation trusts to beware
how they yield to the temptations
which are inherent in such trusts.

1t would be highly absurd for congress
to pass an act for the regulation Of rail-
way rates and specifically exempt from
It's provisions the Pullman company or
any other corporation which maintains spe-
cIal car services to which the public is ad-
mitted. There is no more complete monop-
oily in the United States than the Pullman
company 1t may not be- as Senator
Bailey says II is, 1.-The only absolute mono
poly on earth" but it is pretty near 1t.
There is virtually no competition what
ever, as far as the Individual passenger
is concerned, for, as a rule, he must take
the road at hand, and he can find no
chance to lower the cost Of his journey by
resorting to a rival of the existing parlor
or sleeping car system. He is taxed an
exorbitant price for accommodations of
character by no means in keeping with the
tariff For the privilege OF sleeping in
bed one night he pays a rate that would
gladden. the heart of any hotel keeper,
considering the amount of room he is allot-
ted and the quality of the equipment he
enjoys. Thanks to the possession of pat
ents which cover the field almost com
pIetely, the Pullman company is in a posi-
ton to dictate terms to the railroad COM
panies, and to perpetuate its contracts.
Therefore. the railroad corporations them
selves are unable TO grant relief to pas
sengers and induce travel by rendering the
special accommodations less expensive and
more attractive, If they were inclined to do
so.
II the rate bill is passed by congress
with the Pullman company exempted there
will be a strong public sentiment in favor
OF the adoption OF an amendment next year.
Such an omission, however, would be in
excusable. The matter is germane to the
measure in hand. and this is the proper
time for the adjustment of all the details
of rate regulation. IL congress willing TO
acknowledge that this one corporation has
more influence with It than all the railroads
in the United States combined?

PROPOSED SIN rRANcIsco LoAx.

PROPOSED SAN FRANCISCO LOAN.
The proposition which the business
community of San Francisco has taken
steps to urge upon congress and the
president, that the government shall
loan money or credit to the extent of
S1O0,000,00O or more to aid the re-
building OF that city. is not favorably
received by the press Of the country.
II is an i'll advised move for San Fran
cisco to present the scheme ct Wash
ington, since It Is not likely to be
adopted. and puts San Francisco in a
false light
There Is no lack OF sympathy for
San Francisco in its great calamity, as
the instant and generous aid sent from
all over the country has so signally
demonstrated. Nor has the government
ever before reached so deeply into the
treasury to relieve distress. The nation
heartily approved of the liberal APP
preparations to meet the immediate ne
cesslties of the sufferers BY fire and
earthquake. But it has been hereto
fore universally understood that the
general government could properly
provide only emergency relief. On that
basis it has acted in great emergencies,
like the fires at Chicago, Boston aud
Baltimore, the Charleston earthquake
and the Galveston tidal wave. but on
no occasion has it undertaken to fur
nish capital for rebuilding operations.
San Francisco has indeed suffered
grievously, but its immediate distresses
having for the most part been relieved
by generous voluntary donations and
government help. there remain for its
rehabilitation the insurance. the Sc
curity of real estate and the extensive
accommodations which the whole bust
ness and financial world is disposed to
extend Back of these, too, there are
the credit and resources of the NUM-
cipality and of the state of California,
as we'll as the vast accumulated private
wealth of the city left intact by the
disaster
The prevailing Judgment appears
/ clearly to be that to use the national
! treasury or credit as an insurance
! fund in such cases would be a prece-
dent that ought not to be set. either
as matter of public policy or of prac-
tical need.

MUCH POWER IN FEW WORDS.
Rebates by Any other Name Smell
Alike to- Courts. t...-.
Chicago Tribune

Rebates were declared unlawful and
many railroads stopped paying them
under that name. }. Instead of paying "re-
bates" they paid commissions and re-
joiced in the thought that they had cir
cumvented the law. The Wisconsin Central
and other railroads got the trade OF a
Milwaukee brewery which had handed over
the routing of It's product TO a ''refriger
ator transit company" The majority Of its
stock is owned by persons interested in
the brewery. The railroads paid that COM
pany commissions of from 10 to IN per
cent on the beer shipments. The brewery
company did not benefit by the transaction,
but some OF the stockholders who were
in the refrigerator transit company"-were
in the ring-made considerable money.
The judges before whom the parties to
this peculiar transaction were brought re-
fused to be hoodwinked. They easily de-
tected the old evil under the new name
They refused to give weight to the argu-
ment that the law against rebating did
not mention commissions. The law makes
illegal" any device whatever that accom-
plishes the condemned result"
In some instances shippers have pre-
tended to give their freight business TO a
broker He has received the rebates, called
commissions" and has turned them over
90 his employer. In other instances the
broker has acted as the agent of the
shipper to collect "overcharges" or claims
for goods damaged in transit" These
were all disguised rebates. In the Mil
waukee case there was grating as well
as rebating. A few stockholders in the
brewery company got the profits OF illegal
transactions when the profts. according to
the code of gentlemanly lawbreakers, should
have been divided among all the stock
holders.
The lawyers who give counsel to railroad
managers as to how they can break the
anti-rebate law with safety have got to the
end of their tether. They cannot get
around the words which make illegal
amy device whatever" 1t does not mat
ter what name railroads may give to re-
bates. they will be punished II caught pay

NEBRASKA POSTMAS STEERS.

The postmasters of Nebraska are
holding the annual convention of their
state organization in Omaha and
Omaha extends them hearty welcome.
The postmasters know what the gen
eral public, however, hardly fully ap-
preciates-that the postofice is one of
the best organized business concerns
In the world and at the same time one
of the most uplifting educational fac
tors in the development of popular in
the work in his particular Jurisdiction
the postmaster comes in contact with
all the different elements of the COM
munity and is in position to learn the
sentiment and meet the demands of
the patrons of his Office for prompt and
efficient service.
II is a safe assertion that the post
Offices of Nebraska in all history of the
state were never before manned by a
more capable and conscientious set OF
postofice officials. nor by any who take
more pride in the satisfactory per-
formance of their duties. The post
masters of Nebraska make up a rep
resentative selection of the leaders of
their various cities and towns and re-
fleet the progressive spirit and pros
porous condition that pervades all
parts of the state,
The convention of the association OF
Nebraska postmasters is intended to
be valuable TO the members not only
in the way of personal contact and as
ISOLATION, but also in the Institutional
help afforded by the addresses, reports
and other exercises. The present meet
ing is sure to be successful in every re-
spect. The postofice guests are in,
vited to make themselves at home and
to come back as often as they will

The populist state committee has
called another poDulist state conven-
ton to be held at the same time and
place as the democratic state conven-
ton and go through the forms and
motions of promulgating a platform
and nominating the same candidates
that are nominated by the democratic
state convention.
II was supposed that Nebraska had
seen the last of these political circus
farces. The call contemplates an APP
portionment that would make a con-
vention OF more than 500 delegates
when the chances are that not 100 will
respond to a roll after the convention
is in order. The last so-called populist
state convention did not contain sew
enty-five regularly elected and duly &C
credited delegates. and the prospects
are that no greater interest will be
taken by the remnant OF the party this
year than heretofore.
The scheme is simply one to give the
democratic nominees the. prestige of
the populist name and put them on the
ticket with two party labels instead Of
one. Sincere populists. who went into
the movement originally out of devo-
ton to principle rather than hope of
spoils. will surely deprecate the misuse

PACKERS REBATE VIOLATIONS.
The latest manifestation of the activ-

enforce the law against railway dis
ordinations is the conviction at Kan
sas City of four of the big packing
companies on indictments for accept
ing rebates in violation of the inter
state commerce act. There is no Ques-
ton as to the main facts In these cases,
but the defense rests upon the legal
point that a shipment from Kansas
City via New York to Liverpool on an
export rate OF 49 cents per 100 pounds
for the whole distance. of whion the
packers paid % cents from Kansas
City TO New York under contract with
the railroads, whereas the published
