But 50 far as we have been able to got at the facts there is nothing in the busin: of these mutual fire insurance com- panies to warrant the sweeping condemna- tion heaped upon them. The official circular warns all insurance companies to comply with the law, and, of course, on that point is incontestable. Failure to do so will sub- ject the mutual companies to considerable annoyance and severe penalties. That the Lloyd or mutual companies have come to stay there Is little doubt. They solicit and will accept nome but high class moral and physical risks; they pay their logses promiptly and their premium rates are 50 per cent lower than those of the old line fire insurance companies. Ten of the largest and wealthiest business houses of Omaha are subscribers or patrons of one or more of these mutual companies. The heads of these houses are mon of rare Intelligence and know exactly what they are doing. They rebelled against the excessive premium rates of the old line companies, which claim that 40 per cent of total receipts is spent in securing business and paying expenses. These Omaha merchants repudiate the 80 per cent co-insurance clause sought to be forced upon them by the leading fire in- surance companies doing business here. Under this rule our merchants are compelled to insure to the extent of 80 per cent, or failing to do so, become co-insurers for the difterence. In any event the assured Is re- quired to pay for indemnity which he does not and cannot enjoy. There may b2 a law prohibiting ten or fitty honest property owners’ pooling and entering into a close compact to insure the property of each other. This is the principle upon which the so-called Lloyd companies are now operating and it is safe to predict that our laws will not long be technically violated by them, but will soon be amended for their especial benefit and protection. Lloyd companies discriminate with nee to a moral hazard before a policy sued coverivg the risk. Their patrons are therefore the strongest and best men in any community where they can be induced It will be a long time be- be sandbagged insurance that associations in mpanies o1 plied rance this state, in doubtless in methods or to do business. fore such institutions can out of existenc: THE ANTI-OPTION BILL. This measure will probably reach the calendar of the house of representatives this and it will be taken up as soon as the appropriation bills are out of the way. It is the opinion of intelligent observers that it will pass but mot without a vigorous and probably prolonged struggie. As the bill Is in the form of a revenue measuee it is privileged to be called up any the only way in which early consideration may be headed off Keep the house crowded with other business. There are still several appropriation bills to two important the house, at its is to time and be disposed of and at least which the speaker has promised shall receive consideration. One of the the bill suspending the state tax notes and certificates issued during the panic of last summer, and the other is the free ship bill. When the former measure is taken up an amendment to it will be offered providing for the ditional repeal of the 10 per cent tax on the notes of state banks, which will open up a debate that may ex tend over several weeks. The free ship bill will also Involve a long discussion. It is suggested that the opponents of the anti option bill may be able to arrange to have measures alternate with the appro priation bills to consume the time until June, when it will be too late for the senato to pass the anti-option bill during the These and entitled to precedence, and 18 sald that the plan of keeping them befor the house In order to exclude the anti option bill will probably be adopted.

Therc is every reason to believe, then, that there Is no danger to be apprehended from the agitation in behalf of silver for at least three years, or during the remainder of the term of the present administration, and very likely for a much longer period, since in the prob- able event of the election of a republican president in 1896 silver would have no bet- ter chance of than at present, except as the result of international agreement.

The tarift bill was taken up in the senate yesterday and the debate on it was begun by the chairman of the finance committee, of Indiana, who by virtue lead of that Senator Voorhee: of his position mittee is assumed to be the leader of the majority in that bod: In the case of the Indiana senator this assumption is largely a matter of courtesy, since in the qualifica tions for leadership there are at least half a dozen democratic senators who are much better equipped than Mr. Voorhees, this s particularly true with regard to the tariff. ‘Therefore nobody at all familiar with the capabilities of that gentleman will be surprised that his speech, although pre- pared with care and deliberation, is little else than empty rhetoric and rodomontade— such a speech as he might make to a demo- cratic meeting in Indiana, but far below the sion as the opening as the be com and is demands of such an oces of a great tariff debate in the United States In high sounding terms Mr. Voor- hees denounced the ff law and boastfully proclaimed the benefits that will come to the people from the passage of the pending bill. e declared to be robbery, extortion and injustice. The enact- ment of the McKinley law was a both against the workingman and the manufacturer, But the enactment of the pending bill will give relief to the people by reducing tariff taxes more than $76,000,000 per annum, and while this s not all that Mr. Voorhees desires, he hails it asa long stride. though not a final one, “toward the ap. proaching day of perfect deliverance’—the day, of course, of absolute free trade. How feeble and foolish such talk as that of the Indlaua senator appears when con by solid facts.
