STATE INSPECTION, A movement is on foot to create an {nsurance department for this State, such s ono as they have [n Michigan and a few other States. The insurance men fn this city look favorably upon the movement, and would liko ta sce it con~ sumated, provided it docs not aubject them to sdditfonal taxation, Itis stated that the fees now paid to the State Auditor and the Actuary would make & handsome salary for the best kind of men. The department in Michigan, which {s very efiiclent, {s self-sustaining, and there is no reazon why it conld not be made so In this Btate, The State supervision as now exercised 1n Illinots is of little value to anybody, vxcent to o number of weakcompanies which are admitted todo business on fraudulent statoments. In no State {n the country, except In West Virginia, ure the fusurance laws less rigldly infor than they are in this, and no cl:‘y n the country can show up ns many weak and wild-vat companfes 28 can Chleago, And just here where people liave liad such eevcre lessons, nono but thie best and most relfable_companics shiould bo allowed to do business. There arc 8 number of com- rnnlel dofng businesa here tho capltal of which has been greati, lrnlmlrcd during the last fow yuars, and which, 1t rigidly examined by com- Ppetent men, would have to * get up and get* out of the State. It s the gencrul opinfon that an Insurance Commisafoner will be a great Im- rmement over the présent Supervisors, and that hie Governor woulit sclect the best man that can be secured for the position. ThoStlate Auditor, thie Actuary, and the weak and bogus campantes are, s somc insurance men say, moving hicaven and earth to defeat this movement. 1t reinalng :g 5» fien whether they have {oflucnce onough o THE COUNTY BUILDING.

Tha Treasury Is agnin depleted. **Not a cent, left,” ia the greeting with which those holding orders are met, Erick Soverson was Arrested yesterday for & debt of &85 at the {nstance of the Victor Sewing- Machine Company, He scheduled his property, which was found to be exempt from executiun, and was dlscharged.

The Committee ou Education of the County Board is to look after tho situation, When tho Zurniture hns been seccured, requisi- tlons for provisions will be next In order. A county contractor, au old favorito with the crowd, yesterday told & reporter that it had al- ways beon his custom to do work for tho Com- missfoners and never make any charge for it, The only vne ho had ever worked, Ior who had nasked Bim for his bill was ex-Commissloner Louergan, who paid ifm cvery cent, although he offered to receipt his bill.” This contractor no doubt spoke for most contractors, aud, to some extent, explaloed how some have so lon, remalned favorites and have heen abla to defy all competition in bidding for work for the county. Tho Committeo on Jall and Jall Accounts was some timo ago instructed to report on the prop- asition to cut down the allowance for dicting [‘rgmncrn at the jail at the next mceting of tho ard. The reason giveu at the time why the Conunlttce had not betore reported was that no meeting had been held.

HUCK AND TUB ¥ BING," Attention was called a few days ago to thg fact that the West Uhicago Collccior bud turned §30,000 over to the County Treasurer, and that, antlcipating the transter, tho County Board had audited & number of bills for favorite con- tractors to swallow up this sum. Only s por- tiow of the moucy went to the General Fund, it mppcars, but whitever the amount It was ab- sorbed yesterdsy, Mr. Sexton was around carly In the moming with his orders drawn on the ubove fund, th:ey belng fur work done at the Houpltal aud payable only out of the -Bullding Fuud. Mr, IHuck very properly. refused to honor the orders, for tho reason that thers was no woney to the credit of the Building Fuud, and, beside, {or the reason that If he had aid Bexton from the - General Fuud thero would bave been mothing left to buy meat and bread for the poor, for whom certaln tugeters have recently durllyul such o deep Juterest. 1o the altertioon In the oard the uctlon of the Treasurer wos criticized yery severely because he bad refused to pay Sextou, all ‘of which shows how slucere the “Ring? has been in its friendship for the poor, for i¢ Sexton bad becn paid, ax the “Iting’ wanted, those who had turnishied the meat, and bread, and coal for the poor would have robbed, and, indecd, the closing of the charita- Dble fnstitutions m! hi huve been serlonsly cone sidered.

Much Intcrest is being nianifested In the new health ordinance, and soine of the promincut physiclanshave called upon the Mayor and offer- cd'their nssistance and thelr experience for the gum(ng of a proper and comprehensive meas- re.
