THE WILMINGTON MESSENGER: TUESDAY, MAY IV 1897. ... . .' ,1 JACKSON & BELL COMPANY. TUESDAY, MAY 11, 1897. SOUTHERN JOTTINGS. Ex-Senatoii Coke, of Texas, is deli rious. It Is said he cannot recover. Minister Powell Clay ton, of Arkansas, has arrived at the City of Mexico. Three thousand five hundred miners in eastern Tennessee and southern Ken tucky are on a strike - because of a proposed reduction in wages. James H. Aldrich, the paymaster of the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Mem phis railway, who stole $27,000, was sentenced to two years at Kansas City, Mo. 5 Dallas will today honor the memory of the private soldier of the confeder acy. No braver, more self -sacrificial or uncomplaining patriot ever shouldered a gun in defense of his home and rights in all the history of nations, than the private soldier of the southern confed eracy. The Arkansas senate last week re jected, 16 to 14, a bill for the creation of a railroad commission. The failure of this ill at the regular session and the failure of the general appropriation bill led to the callling of the present extra session. INDUSTRIAL AND STATISTICAL - 'Among all races the weight of the male brain is 10 per cent, heavier than that of the female. Before the end of this year every one of the 503 towns in Connecticut will be connected by telephone. Painted woodwork is more desirable than natural finish for bedrooms, or wherever espcially dainty effects are desired It has been estimated that in 1812 the number of Hebrews in the Un0itr States did not exceed more than 3,000 Now it is claimed that there are m this country 500,000, and New York city has 140,000 of these. There are 1,425 characters in the twenty-four books that Dickens wrote. There are 49,605,000 dwelling houses in Europe, and 11,400,000 in the United States. Three-fourths of the total population of Russia are engaged in cultivating the soil. - . - Engel considers that a child of 10 years represents an outlay of $400; a youth of 15, $700. The raising of pepperment has be come a considerable industry in South western Michigan, where a large acreage is devoted to its cultivation. The English or black mint has been the chief crop for several years; but better prices are offered for the Amer ican plant, and that is to be the lead er this year. Greater areas also are to be planted this year than, hereto fore. , a oT-mof oiar county.

Wnn't Beniamin Harrison kindly for ward to Princeton some: hints on how to be a good ex-president .' .pnnaaei phia' North American. A elance over the public utterances of President McKinley will disclose the fact that the personal pronoun is not as common about the white house as it used to be. Houston Post. Premier Canovas says that Spain is not suffering any severe financial dis tress. This may mean that she has got used to it. Washington Post. Rev. Tom Dixon wants to know when wTe are to have , some of the old-fashioned church-going. Probably it will come when we get some of the old fashioned preaching. Washington Post Governor Bradley is master of the Kentucky situation after all. He could not be elected senator, but he was a;ble to prevent Hunter's election and to name the successful nominee. Danville Register. Mr. Cleveland has an idea, or pro fesses to entertain such a belief, that the man who betrays-a great party is a "splendid patriot." U is difficult to distinguish whether Cleveland has more "fat" or "gall." Richmond Star. - It appears that the Cleveland dem ocracy will go into the campaign of 1900 shouting for "Low Tariff" and "Sound Money." That will tickle the cuckoos and mugwumps, but r they might just as well start out yelling for free trade and no money at all. Nash ville Sun. Keep Your Own Counsel. It is an old saying among school boys and college men that the fellow who keeps his mouth shut is the big man; that he who deliberately says little quickly wins for himself the name for wisdom. Such statements are quite as true in the outer world, to a certain de gree, as they are in college. The pith of the matter is that if in any way you . a.rrive at a position oi importance, ine J-less you talk to every one the more credit you recive for care, for thought fulness, for sound, well considered ., opinions. Here is nothing which urges a boy to have no opinions or to never express them; -and, in fact, this "wise silence" at school and college as often, perhaps, covers up an empty mind as it does the wisdom of Solomon. There is, however, a good rule to follow, which may be given briefly, to the, effect that it is well to say little until you have thoroughly made up mind, and then not to hesitate statements. The temptation of te man is of " V te man is opi Ml V e, but if latei IwJl force of t is lo vjiur opinion to express some that is changed the final opinion will have all the more .T.aence if you come out strong with it at the close of -the discussion, when not only are the others in doubt as to what they do want, but you also have the advan tage of hearing many sides of the case. In your behavior towards the others in school it is well to keep your "talk" in reserve. It is a habit easily ac quired, and one that in the -end works both ways. It adds both to the value of your advice, because the advice is better considered, and it gives the ad vice an added value so far as the others are concerned, because when you say a i little, that little has more considera- lion. Harper's Round Table. Paper on Southern Insurance Compmmles It is our understanding that the prime purpose of this convention is to promote the business of insurance Jn the south, and one way by which this can be done is to ascertain the causes which have heretofore worked against the success of southern insurance companies. There is more or less prejudice in' the south, much less, however, than there was a few years ago, ag ainst southern : en terprises of this kind, and -it arises from the fact that the repeated failure of irresponsible, mismanaged southern companies has, to some extent, dis credited insurance as a business in the south. It is a fallacy to suppose that southern insurance companies need any protection against the competition of foreign companies, or discriminating legislation to exempt the one from the burdens - which every commonwealth lays upon the other. We do not need hostile laws enacted for-the purpose of excluding foreign companies. What we do need is such a system of insurance regulations in every southern .state and such rigid supervision by the insurance departments pf each state as will guar antee at least the solvency of every company incorporated under the laws of that state. Most southern states are sufficiently exacting in their requirements of for eign companies; but they have under taken to favor home companies by ex empting them from those requirements and that supervision to which outside companies are subjected. Right here is the trouble. This discrimination in tended as a benet to home com panies, has done them more injury than all other things combined. It has in vited" the organization of irresponsible and somtlmes, fraudulent concerns calling themselves insurance companies, who have accomplished nothing except to discredit insurance as a home enter prise and to create that well justied prejudice which is the greatest ob stacle of every southern insurance com pany today. ' In a neighboring state, and in several other states, the condi tions are very little better, where the laws are very exacting of outside com panies, local companies are not even licensed, they make no statement to the insurance department of the state, and are wholly exempt from its control or supervision. The purpose , of such discrimination was to encourage' home companies, with the. result that while that state has borne and buried a j lib eral share of defunct southern insur ance companies, it has perhaps a small er number of successful local companies than any other southern state. The business of insurance is in the nature of a trust, every company being th,e trustee of its policy holders, and it is a trust which the laws cannot guard too carefully. If the laws af ford the protection they should, they will require every company chartered under them to have sufficient assets to enable it to redeem its pledges, and they will enforce such supervision from time to time to make sure that these assets are solvent. If the minimum amount of assets required were from $50,000 to $100,000 this could hardly cut off any deserving insurance enterprise, and writh such supervision from the state's insurance officer as will main tain the solvency of these assets, and with reasonably conservative under writing, there need be no more losses sustained by the policy holders of south ern insurance companies, and there will be no more distrust of our own institu tions, and the business of southern in surance will be made successful by being made safe and sound. For the accomplishment of this it is not neces sary to create expensive separate state insurance departments, but merely to make this supervision the duty of some state officer. That the southern people are capable of conducting the business of insurance successfuly has been fully demon strated. There are three or four com panies in the south whose success has been without precedent. They confine their underwriting to the respective state under whose laws they are organ ized, and they have reduced the cost of insurance to a smaller figure than has been reached in any other section of this country. With conservative man agement (and no southern company with conservative management will un dertake to perate out of thes outh) and such supervision under, state laws aswill discourage irresponsible insur ance enterprises, this generation should witness the bulk of insurance in the south carried by, southern companies.
