Insurance Leglalntlsn.
The judiciary committee ot the
House of Representatives have recom
mended the passage of a bill requiring
insurance companies to pay full amount
o( policies in case of losses by fire.
This is the most pernicious measure
that has so far been brought before the
present Legislature, and will result, if
it becomes a law, in largely increasing
the details connected witli lire insur
ance, without bringing corresponding
benefits to insurers. Under the pres
ent system, insurers value their own
property, nnd their applications for in
surance are based accordingly. Risks
•tiro accepted upon insurer’s valuation,
with the understanding that in case of
loss, the companies hare the option of
paying the amount of policy
of replacing property. We
have had some experience
in adjusting losses by fire, and so far
as we have had opportunity to observe,
there is a disposition on the part of
companies to pay the utmost value
of property destroyed. We have
known a few instances where parties
insured have been unwilling to accept
the amounts the insurance companies
proposed to pay. In all cases of this
character the companies have been
willing to submit whatever difference
existed to arbitration. Wherever ad
justments have been reached by this
method the companies have been at
manifest disadvantage, for tbc reason
that the arbitrators have been appoint
ed from localities where fires occurred,
and where their prejudices, if these
existed, were, from the nature of the
case, in favor of parties snslaining loss.
Under this method it must he
seen that there is little or no proba
bility that damage will be assessed
at less than value. The propostdlaw
has been suggested, we imagine, by
complaints of parties who have enter
tained the idea that insurance against
fire, furnished a safe and easy meth
od of speculation. Where property has
been burned, of less value than the in
surance upon it, they have demanded
the payment of full amount of policies.
If the insurance companies aro to yield
to the demands of this class of insurers,
instances would be very common in
which men owning costly or unpro
ductive property would insure and
hum it, in order to effect advantageous
sales.
The danger of such a policy would
be, first, bankruptcy to the insurance
companies; and, secondly, an exposure
to extraordinary hazard of the proper
ty of legitimate insurers, who regard
this business as a means of protection
against actual loss.
The insurance laws of this State need
overhauling. There ore evils growing
out of constitutional and statutory pro
visions that exist at present, that, can
be easily cured by proper legislation.
We refer, of course, to the constitution
al provision requiring a deposit from
every company doing business in tho
State, and the statuto that prohibits
adjustors from companies not mak
ing the deposit from coming into
the State, to adjust losses in case of
fire. Under these provisions, the com
panies who have complied with the de
posit law have combined, and have ad
vanced insurance rates in many in
stances from 200 to 300 per cent.
Tito deposit at present required is
$25,000. As a matter of fact,
tills amount furnishes little or no
protection to insurers. They look
at last to the character of companies
makiag the deppoait. If tho Legisla
ture will pass a law making the deposit
$25 instead of $25,000, there would be
little or no difference in the security
offered insurers. This change in the
deposit law, and a repeal ol the statute
prohibiting adjustors of companies not
making deposits from coming into the
State to adjust losses, would result in
increasing the number of companies
doing business in Georgia from 40 to
100. The competition naturally arising
would result in bringing rates bock to
reasonable standard such as was in
force (or many years previous to the
provisions In our law, above referred
If the Legislature really desires to
protect insurers, this is the line upon
which they should operate,
The bill reported to the Ilonse puts
s premium upon rascality. To protect
themselves against the provisions of
such a lew the insurance companies
would be compelled to resort to a sys
tem of inspections and appraisements
that would greatly complicate and re
tard insurance. It wonid not result in
collecting from insurance companies
more than the value of property de
stroyed.
The men who are managing the in
surance business in tbe state have
shown that they are capable of cod
dling a constitutional convention and
successive Legislature* into the adop
tion of the foolish provisions referred to.
They are capable of taking care ot
themselves, and upon any question af
fecting valuation of property or pay
ment for same in cose it is burned,
while they cover it by insur
ance, they ue too much for the Geor
gia Legislature, and experience will
demonstrate that whatever the pro
visions of our laws may be, insurers
will not be able to collect more than
the value of property destroyed. This
to ail that any honest man sbonld de
sire, and at present there is no difficul
ty in realising the (nil amount of all
damage incurred where propeity to (al
ly insured. Making money on fine to
not s legitimate business, and any at
tempt on the part of the Legislator*
to legalize it will result in actions in
convenience and damage to oar peo
ple.
To show tbe operations of tbe tow
in qnestion, we will offer an illustration
to demonstrate its absurdity. Sop-
pose a merchant on let September,
iug January 1st, his stock, reduced by] Washington
sales to$5.000, is burned. Will the Leg
islature of Georgia say that the insu
rance companies should pay this
amount, 50 per cent, more than loss
sustained?
Would it bo possible to frame a law
that would adjust bis stock to insu
rance, under its varying value, without
Incurring a great deal of time and ex
pense in repeated stock-takings?
If space would permit, other illustra
tions of equal force might be offered.
Tliis simple one will suggest tbe folly
of such a law, and we hope the Legis
lature will move very cautiously in
reference to this matter.
an gqual and Intell'ssnt Policy.
Since the inauguiation of the admin
istration there has been no opportunity
to formulate an administrative policy
as to any subject. As it is given out
that no further appointments will be
made, and that the President and cab
inet will take a rest, the interven
ing lime may be used in coming
to some agt cement that shall
1)0 just to the Democratic party
and satisfactory to the country. By
the time tbe government gets through
with its summor outing the two par
ties will have selected their leaders
and will have joined issue in the im
portant States of Virginia, Ohio and
New York. By that time, it is to be
hoped, some policy will be agreed upon;
that one State shall not be fed upon
fish and another upon fowl.
Just before the close of the Arthur
administration, when Joe Brown
ran Speer successfully through the
Senate, the Republicans, taking advan
tage of the opportunity, put through
several confirmations that were very
offensive to the South. We mention
two, the postmaster at Savannah, Geor
gia, and the United States distirict
attorney oi Alabama. These cases will
illustrate the lack of a definite policy
upon the part oi the administration, or
more properly, perhaps, action that
appears unjust and unusual.
The Senators from Alabama have se
cured the removal of the objectionable
district attorney in their State and the
appointment ol a sound, capablo and
honest Democrat. The administration
promptly removes an officer in Alabama
whose term ol office has jnst com
menced. The postmosterat Savannah
the leading city in the State ol Georgia,
man most actively and inti
mately connected with all of the
wretched politics of Georgia for many
years past, still holds bis place. His
friends claim for him that he has the
assuranco of the two Senators from
Georgia that, in consideration of ser
vices to the political (action with which
they act, be shall not be interfered
with.
It to not at all probable that the Rep
resentative for the First district to a
party to Oils transaction, but there is
reason to bolieve that some of tho Rep
resentatives from otiier districts have
not moved or protested against this in
justice.
The administration shelters itself be
hind the plea that it is deceived and
imposed upon by those upon whom it
has a right to rely for prompt and
proper information. There can be no
donbt bat that tbo people of Georgia
aro greatly deceived and imposed upon.
The opportunity to ripe for the Con
gressional delegation to look into this
matter of the retention of postmasters,
United States marshals and district at
torneys that are insufferable to tho
honest pojple ot the State, and to msko
the real facts public.
If these men are retained by the ad
ministration, the fact should be known
at once. 11 the administrations being
worked by a gang of politicians and
ringsters for their own purposes, the
constituencies of tbeso Representatives
should have sn early opportunity to
deal with thorn.
A little courage and energy invested
jnst now will pay large dividends in tbe
future.
If one of them is seen
In Atlanta, who cannot give a
satisfactory business excuse for
bis being there, ho may be expected to
receive notice of his removal. So far
not many appointments have been
made in Georgia, but there will be
many more before tbe Congressional
and gubernatorial conventions.
To illustrate our meaning more clear
ly, wo will take the case of Jay Dorsey
Alexander, whom Mr. Blount lias hod
appointed postmaster at Thomaston.
Jay Dorsey is a partisan of Mr.
Blount, and lie runs a small
paper. If Jay Dorsey passes respecta
ble Democrats in his paper, if be
writes up Blount nnd Colquitt in its
columns, if he uses his position as
postmaster to got subscriptions for Col
quitt and Blount papers, and talks
politics about bis post-office, wc
shall be certain to be inform
ed of it and lie shall
be sure to be speedily beheaded. We
merely use him as an illustration be
cause it is a convenient one. The cam
paigns thnt are coming on will furnish
large opportunities to test the honesty
nnd earnestness of the administration in
this particular. Perhaps next summer
may find a different set of delegates in
nominating conventions, and it is not
unlikely that the nominees will be en
tirely different.
The honest people of Georgia may
not hereafter have to fight postmasters,
revenue officers and deputy marshals
under a Democratic administration.
If Mr. Cleveland will stand by liis
declaration the fnneral preparations of
the ring may be commenced at once.
to the privacy which his unscrupulous
methods have earned for him.
We want honest men in office in
Georgia, and not only lioneut men but
capable men.
We want an unpurchasable and an
uncompromising press. And perhaps
we want this more than all the others,
because with such a power on our side
ail the others will follow.
We want snch papers as the Darien
Gazette to declare themselves against
tlie corrupt ting that lias throttled lion-
methods in tho State; to re
fuse longer to liow down unto their
chunky little god, who, with collops of
fat upon his flank and a belly full of
east wind, stands among great men in
high places.
If tlie Gazette is able to give ns ail
these, we pledge ouraelves to be happy
and murmur with or without an ‘s’ no
more.
A Smte Fair.
Many citizens have continued to agi
tatc the question of holding a State fair
in Macon during the coming fall, and
tlie matter has proceeded so far that a
meeting is tobe held attbecourt bouse
at 11 o’clock a. in., on Friday, to take
final action on this matter.
Macon is tlie only place in the State
at which a fair can be held successful
ly. This has been fully demonstrated.
There are some people who object to
an annual contribution for this purpose,
and the objection is not without force,
when tlie fact is considered that Ma
con famishes admirable buildings and
all of the adjuncts and conveniences,
and polices the grounds.
The late celebration of the Fourth
of July, illustrates that a crowd can
be collected here, by general and
judicious advertising and by furnish
ing popular amusements.
If a fair is held, the agricultural
society will, of course, have it in cluwge
and w ill reap the main benefit. This
society will furnish tlie premium lists
and will arrange for ontsidc attractions
These should be first-class in character
Fields of really good running and
trotting horses will draw, but compar
atively few people are interested in
scrubs and hacks in a hippodrome.
In order to make tlie fair a success,
old methods will have to he abandoned.
A premium list oi twenty-five years ago
will not answer for to-day. Good
money premiums should lie offered for
the best of everything, and ribbons,
medals, diplomas and honorable men
tions may be advantageonaly dispensed
with.
If the attractions of the (sir are nu
merous, well selected nnd thoroughly
advertised, the people will lie drawn in
crowds to enjoy a general holiday.
Tlie proposed meeting will develop,
what amount of interest is felt in this
matter. It it is decided to hold a (sir
it should also be determined that no
effort nor time should lie spared to
make it a complete success in every
particular. The occasion to propitious.
No political campaign is on hand, and
tha seasons so far give promise that the
farmer will have something to exhibit,
and money enough to give tho wile and
children a day or two oi relaxation and
enjoyment.
Death to Rinse.
Some time since Mr. Cleveland was
reported to have said, that U any Demo
cratic official appointed by him were
canght at parttoan methods he would
be “flipped out a* quick as lightning.’
That Ue was in earnest, to illnstrsted
by the following incident:
Not Ism a(o Mr. George Parker, s Democrat,
was appointed s special agent ol the treeiury
at Chicago. That was while the Illinois Sena
torial rentast was In progress. Mr. Parker,
Instead o( devoting hit time and attend u to
bit officUl duller, (or which he wes emplojed
and paid, adopted the vlewa ot hit pierage-
tlrct held by bl< Republican predecessors end
bled Ida awar P> -i-rtLSil.i l, and Mob an
active part la the alt rapt to elect Judge Tree,
a good Democrat, to the Senate. For thia Mr.
Parker bar received notice that bis servlet a
will be dispensed with by the Severnment
alter tbs 1Mb ol thia mouth.
Now, if tbs administration may bo
relied upon to follow this action strict
ly and impartially, it will prove a death
stroke to political rings, especially in
this State. Brown, Colquitt and the
members of Congress who train with
them, are using and are going to nse
snch Federal psp as they may be able
to control for the purpose of perpetuat
ing their power.
They will expect postmasters, reve
nue officials and deputy marshals, to
become their active partisans. These
officers will be selected with a special
view to this service. There to reason
to believe that those already appointed
are industriously engaged in this busi
ness. Mr. Cleveland declare* that they
shall not lie so employed. We will
await with Interest to see tbe outcome
of this.
In the meantime we will keep an eye
and have others to keep a watch upon
the sayings and doings of oil those who
hold Federal appointment* in this
State. Whenever we can get the proof

‘ ’Newspaper t ircles’ ’ in Atlanta means
a little clique that the Telegraph has
time and again exposed as liars and
corruptionists. Attempts to belittle
this journal by such reports as the
above is as near an open fight as these
incapables ever approach.
The Telegraph and Messenger is
not for sale, nor has Larry Gantt made
an offer for it. If this individual has
any idea of investing in a daily
paper, lie would probably prefer to visit
Atlanta, where a great daily can be
bought by the job or day lor a very
modest sum. It may be added that
Mr. Gantt and the crowd he trains with

Mo
Trr the Pistol.
Every mail brings ns an account of
some dastardly assault by a negro upon
a white woman. Despite the fact that
prompt vengeance to executed open
the heads of fiends who commit crimes
upon the persons of women, the evil is
oft repeated. A better remedy to de
manded. Lot it be the pistol in wo
man’s hand.
Many Southern women already know
how to handle the pistol and shot gnn,
Ail should learn. The'time has come
wtien they must rely upon their own
courage ami determination. Tbe evil
which fnrnished only occasional texts
for newspapers to now of dally occur
rence, and during the next twenty
years must increase. Every Southern
woman should learn to handle fire
arms jnst as she wonid learn to swim,
and be tnaght ths necessity for using
them. We regard os especially fortu
nate that woman wlio can already fire
a pistol witli sufficient accuracy to hit
an object the size of a buck negro at ten
pace*; she to in a condition to defend
her home, her honor, and her children
in the absence of her husband or natu
ral protector.
Oi twenty outrages recently com
mitted upon white women by negroes
the circumstances are such that the
large majority would have been
promptly defeated by a pistol in the
hands of the assaulted. These figures
are Uie only arguments needed.
Although it escaped our attention,
friend informs us that a bill has been
introduced in tbe Legislature prohibit
ing an officer ot a railroad from owning
stock in snch road. We are not sur
prised at this. Indeed weare prepared
tor any monstrosity in the shape ol
“law,’’ affecting our railroads, if the
men who are coached by Major Wallace
succeed in engrafting their communistic
ideas upon tlie statutes oi tho 8tate.
We would suggest to the alleged
statesman who conceived the brilliant
idea of prohibiting people who owned
property from sny participation in its
management, that it will save time,
trouble and expense and will
probably relieve him from undue fa
tigue, if he will also Include a
provision that the owners of railroad
stock shall be prohibited from voting
(or officers oi the railroad. It might
bo well to go the whole hog and
further provide that men who furnish
the money to build railroads in Geor
gia shall not he permitted to own
etock in the roads. This would
render the Wallaceonian policy en
forced now by subtorfugo consistent
with positive State policy, based upon
statutory law.
