smiles when he Is angry, smiles when
some Democrat is getting the best Of

THE LOUISIANA LIFE.

The Louisiana National Life Assur-
ance Society, with headquarters in New
Orleans, is a product of the State which
has been struck a paralyzing blow by
Insurance Commissioner Mckinney
From the tenor of the Times-Demo-
Gratis editorial Mckinney has perpetrat-
ed an outrage objectionable on a COM
pany which was legally doing business
in this and other States. 1t appears
that in his proclamation revoking the
license of this company that the COM
missioners charges can not be sustained,
at least they are disputed by the officials
of the company, which is said to be SOL
vent and in the best of conditions, and
has deposit of $4,000 in Louisiana
State bonds as is required by law.
Editorially the Times-Democrat says:
We can conceive of no way in which
Mr.. Mckinney could do greater harm to
this home company, could cause greater
loss to those New Orleans business men
who are in it, and who have been trying
to build up legitimate business, which
they were urged to establish in order to
keep at home some of the many millions
going north for insurance. We can
imagine no worse Encouragement to
have capital to invest in home enter
prises; and we shall be surprised if the
evil of this latter day midnight order
is limited to the Louisiana Life Assur-
ance Company alone. Mr.. Mckinney
practically charges many of our leading
merchants with resorting to sinister de-
vices to build up life insurance bust
ness; and we shall probably hear the
merchants and drummers of rival cities
pointing to the Mckinney order as a !
strong argument to those who do bust |
ness with us, why they should drop
New Orleans as unworthy of their trust
and confidence"
This is a serious reflection on the |
citizens of New Orleans by an official |
of the State, and if the half be true he
should be removed and held to account |
for an implied if not direct defama-
tion Of character.
