STATE LEGISL1TURES.

Thirteen state legislatures will meet
in regular or special session this month
and some of them have more than or
dinarily important work to do. That of
New York is expected to pass law for
the better regulation and supervision Of
life insurance companies, a matter in
which the whole country is interested.
We have already noted the earnest
recommendation of such legislation by
the governor of New York and no doubt
respond to the overwhelming public de-
mand for radical change in the exist
ing law. The Pennsylvania legislature
meets in special session and is expected
to legislate in the interest of needed re-
forms. In Ohio the legislature may ac-
complish little beyond making the neces-
sary appropriations for carrying on the
state government owing to the fact that
the republicans and democrats are a tie
in the senate, an independent having
the deciding vote, while in the house the
republicans have only three more mem
bers than the democrats and there are
two independents. Consequently there
is not much probability of general legis-
lation.
The work of the Maryland legisa ture
promises to have an interest beyond
that state. especially in its political
bearing. the expectation being that it
will mark the beginning of the end of
the rule of German. In Iowa it is pre-
sumed that the primary election law
will come up for discussion and will
cause a sharp contest. The legislatures
of Rhode Island, Kentucky, Mississippi,
Iowa and Virginia will choose success
sors to United States Senators Wet
more, Blackburn. McLaurin, Dolliver
and Martin. Judge Paynter will succeed
Blackburn and Senator Deliver will
succeed himself. The probability is that
both Wetmore and McLaurin will be
their own successors and Martin is likely
will be an issue in New York Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland, while agitation for
a corrupt practice act is active in Mas
sachusetts, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
1t is probable that in most, if not all,
of these bodies the subject of revision
of the state insurance laws will receive
attention. The governor of Kentucky
has referred TO the matter in his mes
sage and doubtless it will not be ig-
! nored in other states. What is reason.
ably TO be expected is a general move.
ment in the interest of needed political
reforms in the several states, for every.
where the tendency in this direction is
very strong. The legislature that will
command the widest interest is that OF
the Empire state. with particular refer
ence to what 1t may do regarding the
| insurance companies.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTEREST,"

Judge Ninsonhaler has turned over to
his successor the trust funds that were
i'm his hands at the close of his term.
but he has not turned over the interest
on the funds deposited in the county
court during the past six years. When
he was candidate for third term Mr..
Vinsonhaler publicly pledged that he
would turn in all the interest on the
trust funds that would come into his
possession, but this promise he seems
TO have forgotten. Under the statutes
of Nebraska the county judges of Doug
las county are entitled to an income Of
$500 a year, but they have no more
right to pocket interest on the funds
entrusted TO their care and keeping
than has the county treasurer Whether
the amount of interest collected by
years amounts to 500 or $4,000 is i'm
material. The principle is just the same.
Every penny of interest collected by him
should have been turned into the county
treasury or to the rightful heirs of es-
tates that were in settlement in the pro-
bate court or to the corporations that
were compelled to deposit appraisement
money whenever they acquired lands
by eminent domain condemnation. In
the course OF the last six years these
deposits must have amounted TO several
hundred thousand dollars. 1t is not
presumable that funds in the custody Of
the county judge were kept idle in the
court house vaults or left on deposit in
banks without drawing interest.
The question is. Why should not
proper restitution be made, now that the
judge has made a final settlement with
the county, and he should also be re-
quired to make final settlement with
all whom it may concern. ..

TIE FINANCIAL SITUATION

A distinctly prosperous and satisfac-
tory condition is the statement in regard
to the national treasury at the opening
Of the new calendar year. The deficit,
it is true, still amounts to substantial
figure, but it is less than at the close
of the last fiscal year and will probably
be further reduced before the end of
the current fiscal year. The relation be-
tween income and outgo has recently
improved and is expected to continue to
improve unless unlocked for financial
conditions should arise.
1t is noted that in December the net
$5,OOO,OOO. There will doubtless be a
deficit for the present month, but 1t is
not likely to Offset the gain for the pre-
ceding month which was considerably
larger than had been expected. SO far
as the general business of the country
is concerned there is reason to think
that the revenues of the government
will increase, but what effect money
market conditions may have upon the
treasury situation is matter of uncer-
tainty. 1t is pointed out that this is the
least satisfactory feature of present
treasury conditions. The note of alarm
sounded by Mr.. Schiff, in his address
before the New York Chamber of Com
merce, the effect Of which was immedi-
talx tn1 In hn .I1ar
is likely TO have n much wider influence,
When the head of great banking house,
speaking to the foremost commercial
body in the country, deliberately de-
clares his conviction that there is dan
ger OF a panic more disastrous in its
consequences than the country has ever
known, there is very likely to be Gre
| ated a more or less general feeling of
alarm in financial and business circles.
The difficulty pointed out by Mr.. Schiff
is the inelastic currency system. He
urges that this must be corrected if we
are TO avoid n panic, but he does not
approve of the correction being made
in the way recommended by the secre-
| tary of the treasury. Here we have
| another illustration of the divergent
views of tinanciers on the question of
an elastic currency. The proposition
of Secretary Shaw, for example, is not
acceptable to the bankers because it in.
wolves a tax of or 6 per cent on emer.
gency circulation. Mr.. Schiff's idea is
that banks be permitted TO issue circu
lation on commercial paper, which it is
hardly possible will ever be allowed
Taking into consideration the general
prosperity, the strong basis upon which
that prosperity rests, and the excellent
condition OF the national treasury. we
are inclined TO think that there is nc
| imminent danger of a financial panic
The situation recently brought about by
excessive speculation has indeed. ap
peared grave and gave some reason fol
apprehension, but 1t has not as yet had
any detrimental effect upon legitimate
business and perhaps will not have. Sc
far as the demand for more elastic
currency system is concerned, there is
little probability of its being met while
those who make il are unable to agree
upon plan.

Representative Hogg of Colorado has
introduced an interstate commerce reg
ulation bill, said to be framed on the
lines proposed by Judge Grosscup of
Chicago. The bill provides for the aboli-
ton of the present Interstate Commerce
commission and the creation of a trans
portation commission of three, to be
vested with all the powers of the pres
ent commission. What there is to be
gained by abolishing the present COM
mission Of five, which has had the
benefit Of long years of experience, by
substituting a commission of three new
men is not conceivable, except upon the
theory that unless the president ap-
points three safe men, the senate
would refuse to confirm and the com
mission would be up in the air. To a
man up tree it looks as if the Colo
RADIO statesman is simply trying to side
step while making his constituents be-
lieve that he has devised the only effec.
tive plan of railway regulation.

Private Cars as Common Carriers.

In consequence of the overruling of the
demurrers filed by the defendants in the
governments private car rebate cases pend.
ing in the United States circuit court at
Madison, Wis, the question involved will
have to be determined by juries on their
merits. 1t is true that the contention of
the defendants that private car companies
are not common carriers is a question OF
law; but the judicial determination of this
question will depend in large measure upon
the facts disclosed and found by the trial
juries. The court was evidently not con-

Sure sign of Prosperity.

Last year the people spent 1896 per

monds is not like that of beef or sugar

thing in which the mass of the people

purely a decorative feature Of the national
life. Yet nothing, after all, could better
gauge the national prosperity than the ex-
penditure for these gewgaws.
