THERE is a general complaint around over Indiana that the insurance companes are charging too high rates. They have the Underwriters Association which meets and fixes the rates to be charged oa both commercial and farm property. These rates are not only high but in many cases, exhorbitaut. The companies sometimes claim they are doing business in this State at a loss that expenses are exceeding the income, and that the charges are absolutely the lowest possible. Such talk is nonesense, eveu if it does come from the high salaried, smooth agents of the companies. These companies have for offices the most magnificent buildings in the world, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Their officers are paid princely salaries, some surpassing even that of the President of the

United States, and all the officers of the large companies are paid higher salaries than the Judges of the U. S. Supreme Court, than Senators and Congressmen, than Governors and other State officers. So the plea can not be offered that it takes the high salaries to get the talent run the business. The fact is the companies make so much money by charging their high rates they can easily afford the big buildings, the big salaries, and the enormous surplus they are piling

lup.

Several companies that could be mentioned, after all their enormous eipenditurea, have a surplus that excelled the capital of all the National banks in Indiana. How could they heap up such an enormous amount of money if they did not over-charge? To remedy the,evil Home Mutual companies have been organized and their charges are much less.

These mutual companies have been organized by farmers, but there is now talk of organizing these mutual Bompanes in towns and cities. They will be organized, too, unless the insurance companies are more reasonable in their charges. Greenfield needs and should have a very much lower re-rating at

once. In the mutual companies the officers are only paid a nominal salary no expensive buildings are built and BO big surplus piled up. Practically the only charges are for actual losses, and therefore the cost is very much lighter.

PLEASURE TRIPS.

.Numerous Excursions the Coining Summer at Keiisouitble Rates.

Whether the tourist's fancy directs him to the New England States or the Atlantic seaboard to the South or to the lake region of the North or to the Rocky Mouutains and (he wonderland beyond the Mississippi, he wi'l be given opportunity to indulge his tastes at a small cc :t for railroad fare this year. There will be low rates to Baltimore over the Pennsylvania Lines in May, account the American Medical Association: to Decatur, 111., account the German Baptist (Duukani) meeting, and to Pittsburg for the Presbyterian General Assembly. There will also be low rates over these lines to Meridian, Miss account the General Assembly Cumberland Presbyterian church the same month. In June excursion tickets will be sold over the Pennsylvania Lines to Omaha account the National Jr. O. U. A. M. to Chattanooga, Tenn, for the International Convention of Epworth League to Cleveland, Ohio, account the National Republican League Meeting, and to Roanoke, Va., for the German I Baptist meeting. Excursions for .July include low rates over the Pennsylvania to Baltimore l'or the Baptist Y. P. Uuion I Meeting to Asbury Park for the L. A.

W. meeting, and to Boston for the Christian Endeavor Convention, and to Denver Col., account the National Educational Association meeting. In August excursion tickets will be on sale over the Pennsylvania Lines to Boston, account the Knights Templar Conclave The sale of low rate tickets will not be restricted to members of the organizations mentioned, but the public generally may take advantage of them.

The Asbury Park excursion will doubtless attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Long Branch ai-icl all the famous watering places along the New Jersey coast are located on the Pennsylvania Lines, hence this will be a desirab.e opportunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will be just the thing for a sight-seeing I jaunt thro' the far West, as tickets wiil be honored going one way and returning I a different route through the most romantic scenery beyond the Mississippi I and Missouri rivers. Variable route privileges will also be accorded Boston excursionists, enabling them to visit Niagara

Falls. Montreal, Thousand Islauds and St. Lawrence Rapids, the White Mountains, the Hudson River territory, and to return by steamer on Long Island Sound, after sight-seeing at Newport. Narragansett Pier, Nantucket and the Cape Cod resorts to New York and thence through the agricultuaal paradise of the Keystone State, along the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers, over the Alleghenies, around famous Horse Shoe Curve, through historic Johnstown aud the coke and iron regions of Western Pennsylvania. It is also expected that .Boston excursionists over the Pennsylvania Lines will be privileged to return via Baltimore and Washington if they so desire.

In addition, to the ftbovo, there will be plenty of other cheap .excursions over the I, Pennsylvania Line's to,various points. As the season is tome weeks away, arrangements in detail have not been consummated, but it is certain that no railway will oiler better inducements than the liberal concessions in rates and privileges tl at. may be enjoyed by travelers over the

Pennsylvania Lines. This fact may readily be ascertained upon application to any passenger or ticket agent of these lines, or by addressiug F. VAN* DTSKN, Chief Assistant Gen. Pass. Agt., Pittsburg, Pa. apr6wd-t-s tf &

IS COMMAND OF CDBA

General Martinez De Campos Arrives at Guantanamo.

WELCOMED AS A PEACEMAKER.

Rejoicing Over tlie Whole Island ami by

All Classes of Society—A General Lousing

For rcace- Doiiigs of the Insurgents.

Wli»t a Cliicagoait Has to Say on tlie

Present .State of All'airs in Cuba.

HAVANA, April 17.—Captain General Martinez de Campos arrived at Guautauamo at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. He met with an enthusiastic reception from an immense crowd of people, which acclaimed him as "The Peacemaker." There is rejoicing over the whole island and by all classes of society at the arrival of the captain general, for there is a longing for peace.

General Compos took possession of the island as the captain and governor general of Cuba at the moment of landI ing and without the customary ceremonies, as by a special order of the I Spanish government, signed by her majesty, the queen. He is exempted from taking the oath and from all the legal performances employed upon such occasions.

AFFAIRS IN GENERAL.

What Is Going on in the JJisturbed Districts and Elsewliere on tlie Island.

HAVANA, April 17.—A body of mounted insurgents, numbering about 1.000 men, have appeared in the district of Puerto Del Padre. They went around to the various plantations and took fresh horses from the planters, leaving their jaded animals in their stead.

A rumor has been circulated among the revolutionary chiefs inviting them to attend a convention, which, it is said, will appoint a commission to wait upon Captain General de Campos. Two of the insurgent leaders do not agree to this course of action.

The military governor of Matanzas telegraphs that that district is not peaceful. He lias issued an order to the civil guard, directing that body to perform their duties as in time of peace.

All prosecutions against American citizens growing out of political offenses were yesterday transferred from the military to the ordinary civil jurisdiction.

Francisco Carrillo, an American citizen, who was arrested in February at Kemedios, was brought yesterday to the fortress of tian Carlos de la Cubaua, across the bay from the city of Havana.

CHICAGO MAN TALKS.

lie lias Taken ail Extensive Tour Through Cuba Since the Insurrection.

CHICAGO, April 17.—H. O. Stone, a wealthy Chicagoan, who, with his wife, returned yesterday from a tour through Central America and Cuba, says that he believes the numerous Cuban insurrections are stirred up by Spanish officers for their own glory. 'I believe that these insurrections are stirred up by the Spanish officers themselves," said Mr. Stone. "It means more glory and stars their shoulders. It is hard to find rabid revolutionists, and the "outrages" written of at such length about imprisoned "American citizens" are, as far as we could learn, in eases of naturalized Cubans. Almost every native cigarmaker working ill tobacco factories at from $3 to $'5 a day, sets aside one day's pay each week for tlie Cuban cause. This goes to tho leaders, who are simply robbing- the ignorant and oppressed. "It is commonly known there that the leader of the banditti, called the 'King of Cuba,' with a following of about o,000 oi every kind of robbers and desperate- men, wo'.'Jd not be captured or killed by the Spanish government if such were possible. This man is a marauder and a robber and cares nothing for the freedom of Cuba and on the other hand is a means of much revenue to the Spanish government. "Every planter is compelled for protection of property and life to hire from 10 to 100 Spanish troops, for which he pays $0 a month and board. This amounts to more than enough to support the Spanish army in Cuba, and it is not likely that such a state of affairs is at all contrary to the wishes of the powers that bs. The motto is "no bandit, no hiring of troops," and is the secret of a great deal of these recent troubles.''
