LIFE INSURANCE.

The insurance commissioners of
fifteen states were in conference
with insurance men at the Palmer
House, Chicago, last Monday. The
object of the meeting was to dis
cuss new and proposed legislation
on life insurance companies. The
commissioners generally believe that
the surplus should be divided with
.poicyholders every year, while the
insurance men argued that this
would mean hardship and ruin to
many companies.
There are some things which are
radically wrong in the life insurance
business, and one of them is the
exh orbitant prices charged by the
mutual companies. There is about
as much sense in promising to pay
dividends at some future date, as
there would be for a merchant to
charge from % to SO per cent more
Tor his goods than they are worth,
with an agreement to pay part of
it back ten years later, providing he
hadn't squandered it on the races.
The time to pay dividend is
when the premium is collected, the
first year, and every year there
after. When dividends are paid in
this way there will be nothing left
TO speculate with, and the policy
holder will be protected.
The future for well-conducted life
insurance companies is exceedingly
bright. for it is only matter of
time when the few fraternal as
ssociations, now doing business, will
be compelled to retire from the
Eield. The history of this class of
insurance records universal failure
and there is no exception to the
rule.
The people of this country will al
ways want insurance, and when
confidence is again established, the
field will be better tn anever be
fore. If the old line companies will
Issue q non-sharing profit policy, at
a rate at which this kind of in
surance can be safely written, they
can double their business in a de-
cade.

RAN AGAINST ODDS.

1t was to have been expected
chat w. D. Conner would run be-
hind the head of the ticket. A
bitter fight was waged againit him,
the democrats apparently concen-
trating their opposition to him as
the leader of the republican party
IN the state. Democratic newspapers
showed him up in cartoons and
leading editorials as a capitalist and
trust magnate while the campaign
espea kers hOnored him with attacks
from the rOstrum. In addition to
this some of the republicans were
luke warm in their support of him
as was also to have been expected.
No one can engineer as strong
and as successful a fight as he did
IN the primary campaign without
dncurring some slight ill-will on the
part of defeated candidates and
their followers. The opposition to
him in republican ranks on that ac-
count was not as large as might
have been expected judging from
the vote cast.
While the governor made an ex-
cepfionally strong RIM, the candi-
date for lieutenant governor did
equally well, when all the circum-
Stances are taken into considera-
zion.

district attorney stated that the suit OF
the county against the indemnity COM

Wisconsin, and would probably be tried
this term.

dark by nature, or intensely nervous
temperament and obviously man
capable of enormous determination and
unfaltering endurance.
He had not yet lost the instinct OF
battle, and it CALLED him that he must
sit idly there Oh his horse, with his
men awaiting his orders, simply oD-
serving a fight in which he strongly
desired to participate He could see
the Federal lines gradually closing in.
upon both TANKS of the artillery. with
the certainty that they must presently
envelop and capture it. Seasoned SOL
der that he was, he could not endure
the thought of standing still while
such work of war was going on.
Seeing the situation, he turned TO MS
men. who were armed only with
swords and pistols, and in a voice so
calm that it belied his impulse he said
to them:
"This is our. last chance for fight,
boys. am going into the middle OF
that mix. Anybody who chooses to
follow me can come along!"
Every man in that little company or
eleven had two pistols in his saddle
holsters and two upon his hips, and ey-
cry man carried in addition heavy
cavalry saber capable OF doing eXecp-
ton at close quarters. They were gen.
tlemen soldiers, all. The cause for
which they had battled for four long
years was as dear to them now as 1t
ever had been. More important still,
their courage was as unfiinching in
this climax and catastrophe OF the war
they had waged as it had been at Bull
Run in the beginning of that struggle
or in the Seven Days fight. or at Fred
cricksburg or charlottesville OF Get
tysburg or Cold HarbOr. Duncan had
not doubted their response for one mo-
ment, and he was not disappointed IN
the vigor with which they followed him
as he led them into this final fight. AS
they dashed forward their advance
was quickly discovered by the alert
enemy. and n destructive fire OF car
,bines was opened upon them. At that
moment they were at the trot Instant
" Duncan gave the commands:
"Gallop! Charger!
With that demoniacal huntsman's cry
which is known in history as the rebel
veil, the little squad dashed forward
and plunged into the far heavier lines
