Sunday Morning, January 29. '. ; 1 HOME INSURANCE. , We have written! in these columns on the importance of sustaining home enterprises as much as possible and thus keeping at home our money, in stead jot sending it out of the State, thus keeping ourselves short ' of money and complaining of the scar city of it. If the" South kept, at home the , many millions of dollars that go out of ittopay for what could, with proper effort, be furnished at home, we. would not sufferfrom the scarcity of money 83 we do now, and we might have something to draw upon to develop our resources and start new enterprises. V . We spend money in various' ways, as a people, and send it to other States, and some of it to other coun tries, when with proper effort we could, keep much of it at home.! One of these ways is for insurance on life and property. How much the South sendsjout in this way we do not know, but it goes way up into the mil lions annually. We do not know how much North Carolina sends out, but the following, whieh we clip from the Raleigh -Post, throws some light on that: ' According to the North Carolina In surance Report for 1898, showing the business! done ini this State for 1897, compiled from annual statements, we find there was paid by our'people for that year alone: 1 u 1-.. i ' Fire insurance. . , . f-. ... . .$ 950 556 19 Life insurance. .

I... . , . ,$1,364,259.78 Leaving a difference in re- - ueipua oy me companies . . in excess of the same re turned to thft nnnnln nf 1 919 RAh I K ' iThe Post. wbip.Tl ViftliAvoa in on.' Ijoiiraging and sustaining home, in stitutions, .very pertinently asks,' "why not keep this money at home?" Abouti the only plausible answer. we - know to this question is that a de termined effort has not been made to keep it at horned By thi3 we mean that there has-been no co-operation among our people, that they found the insurance field occupied by com panies fromother States, and' that with a few exceptions they have per mitted these companies to hold it, while our capitalist and others who had money to invest looked in other directions for investment. j " This is somewhat singular for as a matter of fact it takes less money to establish insurance companies than ' it does manufactories, . the j only necessity for the use of much money being in the event of loss. Ofjcourse the men who establish insurance companies must be able to command the money to meet the demands upon them, but they can do this without having the actual dash nut up. There are few of the insurance companies in fhe North that have w cm iftC oiu. pciuaps tne larger part of their "capital'-' loaned, so that they practically run a banking business as well - as an insurance business and this is where much of their profit comes from. In time the insurance companies established iu; me ooutn mignt aiso renaer our people similar aflrvmn hv nir - - - J them as much of the money on hand as might be judiciously spared. : We have a few fire insurance com ' panies in this State, one of the ,, nuiiugmu, aa Iar aa ' we know they are giving satisfaction and doing well. There is not a city i. in the-State which should not and ; which" could not have one, and thus make insurance a Btrictly home mat ter, while the State at large might have one or more for the insurance - - of! property in small places counties where it would be impracti cable to organize and keep up a home company. , These home companies could, and - doubtless would give better rateB f ' than companies from other states, which are under heavy expenses, pay large commissions to agents, I MAynEKllSINQ KATES U)AILY)ne square occupy costly onviaiugs, - high salaries to officers, all of which take a good deal of money which comes out of the insured ,y.ZX Another result of home companies would be that more attention would be given to laws guarding against fires, and to adopting and keeping up efficient fire departments. One third, at least, of the so-called "ac cidental" fires that occur are the re sult of carelessness, which is culpa ble, because it not only imperils or destroys the property where the carelessness occurs, but, adjoining property and sometimes - inflicts immense loss. As an illustration of what care will do, tho city of Salem, in this State, had not for a hundred years or more a house-burning with in its 'limits, because it had certain, protective laws, and punished a vio lation of them. The owner or renter of a propertywas held responsible, not only for his own carelessness, but for the carelessness of any other occupant of the property of which he had charge, and that's why there were no fires in Salem: Of course it would not be practica ble to carry out such strict regulai turns everywhere, or in large cities, but it would be practicable to' adopt regulations which would greatly re duce the number of fires. More attention' " would also be given to the construction of build ings with a view to making them more secure against fire, and to the removal of fire traps where that was practicable. When home money was invested in home companies, not only those who had their money invested jbut every one who had property insured in them would be come r personally interested in such matters, and as a result we would have j better laws . for protecting property, better appliances for ex tinguishing fires when they hap pened, and fewer fires to extin guish. -' With our fire companies we should also have our life insur ance companies. Of course we could not have these in every com munity, but we could have at least one .in the State, under the man agement of some of our wealthiest and best known business men, whose names would be a guar antee to the public. TRANSPARENT TRICKERY. The advocates' of the uncondi tional ratification of the treaty now pending in the Senate are resorting to despicable . trickery to carry it through, by misrepresenting the op position and putting it in a false po sition., They substantially exclaim that whatever the objections may be to the treaty, the conditions have be come" such that its prompt ratifica is now a matter of necessity and that is the only way to avert a collision with the Filipinos and save, the lives of our soldiers in the ' Philippines. Possibly they may -think there is danger of war, and are now pleading on that line, and yet they have per sistently refused to say one word that would quiet the apprehensions of the Filipinos, and put this country in a position where it would need no apology or defence. It is true that the future relations of this country with the Philippine islands area matter to be determined by the Con gress of the United States, speaking and acting for the people, but this 'does not prevent this . Congress from making declaration of its views as . to what that policy should be, and as to the lim its beyond which this country should not go in view of the dif ference of opinion and confusion of views on that subject, all of which threaten to precipitate a conflict with the Filipinos and possibly with other nations, and force us into a war the end of which no man can see. Ordinary prudence would suggest avoiding unnecessary complications, especially when these complications may be fraught with such moment ous results. But all this howling about giving encouragement to the Filipinos and endangering the lives of our soldiers, by opposing the ratification of the treaty, is I despicable trickery, which is as transparent as it is base. THE TEXTILE SCHOOL. The Legislative committee in charge of the proposed Textile School bill has reported favorably, and there is little doubt that it- will pass and become a law provided the condition be complied with and the city which desires the location come forward with the necessary amount. " We published a short while ago a statement from Mr. D. A. Tomp kins, a practical . mill operator in Charlotte, showing, the importance of sucfr a school and its prospective value to the State. As far as we have read, Mr. Tompkins' contribu tions on industrial subjects there is nothing of the visionary in him, but -he is on the contrary decidedlv practical, i which, of course gives weight to his statement and views. 13ut this is a matter in which not only cotton manufacturer are in terested, but cotton-growers, for the more" the manufacturers prosper, the more the cotton-growers prosper. for the greater the demandlf or their cotton, and the higher the grades of goods they make, the greater the encouragement to and demand for the higher grades of cotton which command higher prices. But the tex tile Bchool is not an experiment for ineir usefulness and value have al reaay peen demonstrated in the tates where they have been estab ashed. i : F0BCED TO i YIELD. " " -The gentlemen":" who" have .been moving to saddle this country witn a standing army of 100,000 men lave been forced to yield to public senti ment, r They are now ' willing to ac cept a 80t.pf compromise and make it 60,000, leaving it in the .discretion of the President to increase to 100, 000 if it be found necessary, in his opinion. ; . ; '-' i Objection will probably be made to this' discretionary feature, even if the 60,000 concession be agreed to, for there is little doubt; that if the, discretion be granted pretext will be found for calling for the additional 40,000, for there'are some5 very cute' gentlemen in this country who make a good deal of money by " furnishing army supplies, and they: would doubtless find a way to convince the President and his advisers; that the increase would be necessary. j Have the expansion and other schemes of the party in power be come so unpopular that a volunteer army can no longer 'be depended upon to carry them out? ! i j Isn't thp demand for! such an army a virtual confession of a lack of confidence in the citizen sol diery? ; ( ' ; V: - r Coming at this time, when the only feature about which there is: serious , doubt' or apprehension is -the I future of the Philippines, isn't it that which makes such a large army prospectively necessary, and if so are we not paying a pretty high price for our precarious sov ereignty oyer these 9,000,0)0, more or less, "semi-savages?" : But perhaps they are simply tak ing advantage of circumstances to create a large standing army, i It was predicted in the last Presi dential campaign that if the Repub lican party won and got control of the government an effort would be made to largely increase the stand ing army and station troops in or near the large cities, where they would be handy for the suppression of strikes! etc., a prediction which seems to be verified at least as far as the intentions of the large army promoters go. - ' - TWINKLINGS. - "I'm not troubled with tramps any more, said the farmer.

It is a most re markable fact that many of the fields in Halifax county are still white ; with: cotton, yet we hear a general com plaint of hard times. Travelling over, the Seaboard Air Line, a few days ago,-' between Weldon and Littleton, we were surprised to see many fields of cotton having the appearance of never having been picked at all. The white staple was hanging from the bolls and ready to fall upon the ground. We are certainly at a loss to know why it is so and no one appears to be able to give any information on the subject, It does appear strange indeed that a farmer should cultivate his crop and let it remain in the field unpicked.

An nnnuiued Missourian, described aa "for many years a trusted official of tho United States senate," is quoted jby the St Louis Globe-Democrat as explaining why President f Cleveland, after making all preparations for attending the funeral of Vice President Hendricks, sndd(ly decid ed not to do so, but to remain in; Washing-, ton Instead. If this authority is to be trusted, the change of plan was" the effect of a sudden discovery, by Senator Edmunds that, as tbe law of presidential iuocession then stood, if any accident should 'happen to Mr. Cleveland, no one could jbucceed to tbe powers of his office until congress could assemble in regular session! thoifollowing December. This was duo to the fact that Mr. Hendricks had for political reasons prevented the senate from electing a presi dent pro tempore. He bad beenable to do this by declining to vacate the chair and to recognize that privilege, lest the senate, which was Republican by a narrow ma jority, should elect a president pro tempore belonging to that party. j ; : Mr. Hendrick's death took place between the dissolution of one congress and the meeting of the next. So there was no speaker upon whom the succession could fall! Senator Edmunds, tbe Missouri man says, -was of the opinion that if, in tbe ex isting circumstances, Mr. Cleveland should be incapacitated, there was up one with power even to call a special session of con gress, and there would be an interregnum of dangerous length.' He submitted this view of the case to the president, Who, it is asserted, recognized the gravity of the situation, and at once determined to mini mize the danger by remaining quietly at home. As is known, tbe law relating to the presidential succession was changed to its present sbape by the congress that mej alter xar.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, January 28 Sentiment on the Cotton Exchange continues of a pronounced bullish character.: This was demonstrated beyond all question this morning when prices t moved up four to five points in the , face of . weak English cables. The market opened steady in tone with near months one to two points lower, and far .months unchanged to two points higher. After a brief period of hesitation investment buy ing set in on a large- scale and sent prices i up. with a rush. Shorts were dismay ed by this unlooked for action of -the market; and made a lively scramble to cover, thus adding to the firmer undertone. The bad weather and further check to preparations for the new crop tended to materially strengthen the spot markets and offer ings to-day were reported as !l-16c to c higher. ; .
