LETTERS FBOM THB PEOPLE. Insurance Combinations Trying* to Misinterpret the laws of Indiana. f* the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal. knowing that yon desire fair play in all classes of business and business relations, the writer desires to call your attention to the law regulating foreign insurance companies doing business in Indiana, which reads as follows: Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State Os Indiana, that it shall not be lawful for any agent or agents of any insurance company incorporated by any other State than the State of Indiana, directly or indirectly, to take risks or transact any business of insurance in this State without first producing a certificate of authority from the Auditor of State, and before obtaining such certificate such agent or agents shall fnrnish the said Auditor with a stateme. * under oath of the president or secretary of the co* pany for which he or they may act, etc. “The Western Union” is a comb, ion of about seventy-five of the largest fire i„.urance companies in the United States, Engla*’!, Germany and Canada, of several years standing, formed by their general agents located at Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis. This combination has grown to such strength that they have formed what is known as the compact system, in which they send a stranger to each city throughout the Northwest to act as their manager, and compel each local agent in those eities to sign the compact giving the said manager entire control of fixing rates, forms of policies, Examine their books, reports and remittances and otherwise act as a spy for the comE antes. If any agent declines to consent to this eel upon his neck he is immediately discharged by all the companies he represents which belong to the combination, many times thus losing the labors of years in building up his business. This combination not being satisfied with the resnlts of their manager at Indianapolis have inaugurated a system of prosecution through their interpretation of our State laws, and have selected each agent in our city who declines to join their compact not only, but, what is almost infamous, have also selected out the wholesale and retail merchants and manufacturers of our city who decline to patronize the “Union” or compact agents, and have had nearly all of them suppoenaed before the grand jury and compelled them to bring all the policies of insurance which ♦hey hold on their property, in order to discover {as they claim) whether they have placed any of their insurance in companies that have not complied with the laws of the State, the real object being to try and humiliate these merchants and manufacturers and drive them into insuring with compact agents, and if possible to convict some agents not a member of the compact, oc transacting business as agent of a company in New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, St Louis or New Orleans, which has not complied with our laws, and thus humiliate them and damage their good name. Os course they cannot accomplish the latter, for the reason that there is only one instance in the State where an individual has tried to represent a company as agent which had not complied with the law, and he was promptly convicted so soon as our prosecuting attorney’s attention was called to the fact. Now these men have shielded themselves behind an irresponsible attorney, who is judgment proof, and this attorney also tries to shield himself in the petticoats of the grand jury, as Jeff Davis tried to hide his face from his outraged countrymen twenty-one years ago. It remains to be seen whether the good names of our leading business men, who have built our churches and school-houses, and our eity in general, shall have their reputation besmeared with rotten eggs thrown by an irresponsible attorney while hiding behind a tree. When it comes to such a pass that the business men of our community cannot send to other cities in these United States of America and purchase insurance on their property, because compelled to do so on accout of a combination of companies fixing their rates of premium so high that they cannot afford to pay it, without bmng hauled before the grand jury as criminals, and when it comes to pass that many of our best citizens are engaged in manu factoring interests, like unto frame flouring mills, woolen mills, flax mills, bagging factories, ice-houses and contents, frame stores in country towns and other frame and brick establishments throughout the State that every company which has complied with the laws of Indiana has jon its prohibited list, that under the inflneftse of combination the State law is to be construed as prohibiting these citizens of Indiana from seeking protection at all in outside companies at the hazard of having their good name attacked, which is more precious to them than life itself, then I think we bad better call a halt and consider this law, and interpret its true purpose, which has always been understood by its founders and makers and the business public to mean that no company could establish an agency within the borders of our State without first complying with the terms of onr laws, filing their statement, appointing an attorney, etc. Mr. Editor, I appeal to the people who make and control the laws whether this law has ever been interpreted in any other way. Will the business men of Indianapolis maintain their rights and their liberty to transact their business lawfully to suit themselves, in honor prefering one another, as citizens of our great commonwealth? I think they will. A Business Man. Temperance Legislation. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: (1.) Has Indiana any local-option law since the repeal of the Baxter law? If not, how are we to go about getting such a law but by amending our State Constitution? as I understand that the Baxter law was pronounced unconstitutional. (2.) If we had a local-option law, would it prohibit or check the liquor traffic any more than would a law that the Prohibitionists are striving after, or as much? There are many temperance men in the Republican party like myself—have believed and lived in hope that the “grand old party” would, before it was too late, declare in favor of and adopt the temperance cause so that we and the third party. Prohibitionists, could join bands and work together in harmony, and have only two parties in the field. And this is why wo have submitted to stay and work with the Republicans so long as we have. But we see but little if any grounds for such a hope any longer, and we are almost discouraged about our leaders ever ceasing to court tho favor of the liquor league for fear they will lose a few votes. Ana we believe that if there is not something done, and that soon, in a way that we can all work together, the Republican party is doomed to everlasting defeat, for the temperance men are getting in earnest. Yet we have been, and still are cautious about running out into wild faoatacism. We stand open to conviction, ready to do the right thing as fast as it is made manifest what is right for us to do. We all know that under Republican rule, all men were given equal rights before the law; that we have the best government we ever had; the best paper currency, etc., under the same rule, and that is why we yet regret to leave the Republican party. But we think the temperance cause is unnecessarily suffering on account of the apathy of so many professed temperance men, both in the Republican and Democratic parties. If the temperance men would all work together we have not the least doubt but that we could bold the reigus of the government as it is, and so cripple the manufacture of, and the trade in li?[Uor as a beverage, that it would save much sufering that it now causes. Let us have the minds of some, if not all our most influential leaders on the subject. For in union there is strength; but divided we fall Too reticent, too silent on the temperance question, the Republican party is, for its own good. Let us declare either in favor or against the temperance cause, then it is easy understood where we stand. * 1 have not as much influence as some men, but my vote counts one. And I have, ever since its organization, voted the straight Republiean ticket, and never scratched the ticket except in one ease, where the candidate who was running for township trustee made too free use of intoxicating liquors at times. The Republicans of the little State of Rhode Island have been in the ascendency so long that they, I suppose, felt safe in keeping silent on the temperance question in their late convention. And it stirred up the Prohibitionists, I am told, to greater earnestness and diligence in their cause. And it is fast coming to that here in our own State, and we Republicans would do well to take heed in time if we would save onr laurels. We notice that some of our would-be leaders are advocating local option. But we think that is as fsr off as prohibition, and fear that they throw tbit' out as a blind to catch votes. lam not opposed to taxing all liquors as any other property. Bat a high license to sell them as a

beverage never ean make the traffic “respectable,” but would only make the rich richer, and the poor who will drink them poorer. Wabash, April 5. Reuben Small A Crititism of U. L See. To the Editor of the Indian&Dolll Journal: In last Friday’s Journal U. L. See takes exceptions to an appeal of the St. Louis Assembly, Kof L It is true that individual assemblies will sometimes write foolish appeals, tho same as individual members of the Methodist Church will sometimes write foolish books. The great body of Knights of Labor is no more responsible for that appeal than the great body of the Methodist Church is responsible for “The Mode of Immortality.” But I want to call U. L. See’s attention to a matter that has probably escaped his notice, and which causes his friends no little anxiety. He has written a great deal and for a long time, and has afforded his readers considerable amusement. But he is now getting old, and his acrimonious style has so impregnated his soul that it will require the greatest effort of his life to r'd himself of it, if he should succeed at all. When an old soak is compelled to forego his morning dram he then realizes the hold whisky has on him; so if U. L. See would try to say something sweet about something or somebody he could see then how firmly he is tied in the bonds of bitterness. If he will notice, he will see that we use a great deal more saccharine than acid in our physical food, and those who dish out mental pabulum should give us the sweet and the sour in the same proportion. Let U. L. See take a little of the saccharine of philanthropy into his soul And repeat the dose often, and within a year there will be such a transformation that he won’t know himself. U. L. See will soon be with the angels—good or bad—and in his present spirit he will not be in harmony with the surroundings in the city his friends hope he will finally reach. In his present unregenerate state he would not more than be in sight of the New Jerusalem till he would begin to crltcise the architecture, the style of some of the inhabitants, or something else. A chancre is necessary. When the late teleeraph strike was in progress a writer compared the wages of the operators with those of farm hands, and U. L. See uses the same illustration. Workingmen in cities cannot live as cheaply as farm hands do, and he ought to know it. Suppose he had been compensated with farm-hand wages when engaged in his profession, to gain which he spent years of study. The black, slave in the cotton-field was U. L. See’s brother, but the street-car driver working sixteen hours a day does not seem to affect him. A brotherly feeling for a large portion of mankind does not seem to inspire him. U. L. See must quit thinking that the freeing of the slaves was the end of all progress. Let him look at the sufferings and wrongs right before his eyes, and then let him come and work with the Knights of Labor and help bring on the millennium. According to U. L. See, the Knights of Labor are a bad crowd; but I hope he will learn better after awhile. If he will point out one requirement of the order that is contrary to the teachings of the New Testament, or a principle that will interfere with my highest duties as a patriot, I will leave it and join the crusaders. Knight op Labor. POWDERLT ANB POLITICS. The Talk About the Master Workman for Governor of Pennsylvania. Scranton (Pa.) Special. The talk of Powderly for Governor is being discussed quite freely in Scranton political circles. Mr. Powderly’s sudden rush into prominence has aroused the jealousy of many local politicians. They are endeavoring to belittle Mr. Powderly and everything that he bas accomplished? Last Sunday a little Sunday paper called the Free Press printed an outrageous story to the effect that Powderly was simply shamming sick to avoid the responsibility of settling the strikes in the West. The paper is owned by ex-Mayor Beamish, who once served a term in the penitentiary for helping himself to the school funds of the county. The first inquiry would have demonstrated the falsity of the story about Powderly’s condition. Its publication is in keeping with the policy pursued by a number of politicians ever since Mr. Powderly has come into prominence. It is not thought that Mr. Powderly has given the subject of the governorship of this State a moment’s attention. Such Democrats as exConeressman Connolly, however, believe that Mr. Powderly would make a very strone candidate, and there is unquestionably a strong undercurrent of sentiment in his favor. But it is doubtful whether he would accept the nomination in any event. Mr. Powderly is not fond of politics. His sentiments on the subject were very clearly and forcibly expressed in a letter written on the 4th of last January. He was urged to become a candidate again for mayor. After declaring that he was not a candidate, Mr. Powderly said: “Conventions no longer represent the people. It is true that a few earnest men gather around the polls at the primaries, but the great majority stay at home or else await the coming of a neighbor who has been at the polls all evening, and ask of him: ‘Well, how did it go to-night? Who got the delegates?’ '‘l am told that the people want me for mayor, yet I am asked to come out and force the people to nominate me. If the people want a certain man for mayor they have a right to ask him to run by giving him a nomination. If a man wants the nomination for an office he has the right to enter the list to compete for the prize. “The man who aspires to office now must stoop to a great many things that strictly religious people do not dream of. He ranst start out after dark, of course, go to the Thirty-first ward and set up the beer in Tom, Dick and Harry’s saloons. He must sign every petition or subscription that may be handed him. He must button-hole and be button-holed; he must resort to double-deal-ing, lying, conniving, gin-swilling and backbiting of every variety. “The professional politician will hold up his hands in holy horror and say ‘Powderly is slandering ’he people.’ But I say no. lam not talking of .h< people, but to the people who sit at home and permit three or four men in each ward to represent or misrepresent them. I will be told that in speaking so plainly I am digging my political grave. Well, if speaking the truth will dig my political grave I am satisfied not only to dig the grave but to shovel the earth in after the corpse is decently laid away. In fact, I have been told that unless I submit to the dictation of certain men I can have no nomination. I will take no nomination that involves a sacrifice of my manhood. “The people—not the politicians, but the people—on three separate occasions gave me as many nominations and each time elected me to the office of mayor. These nominations came fresh from the people; they were offered to me by men with honest hearts and clean bands, and their acceptance involved no sacrifice of principle or manhood, and if ever a nomination comes to me again it must come in the same way. lam not an office-seeker, and can win my way and earn my living outside of politics. “I do not think that a man who aspires to a position of honor and trust should be obliged to wade knee-deep in political mud in order to get' a nomination. On the other hand, the candidate who procures a nomination by bribery or other corrupt means should be buried fathoms deep in the mire which his methods assist in creating. “If, while working at my trade in the machine shop, a man applied for a situation and offered to pay the foreman or superintendent a certain amount for the privilege of working he would be despised by every man in the shop, and the employer who asked for or received a reward for giving out a situation would be regarded as a man of no principle He, too, would be despised. “The people of the city of Scranton occupy the position of employer in this instance, and they should select a good, competent man as employe for the next four years. Ir. making the selection, no part of the people should accept a bribe, nor should the employe be asked for it; if he performs his duty it is reward cnongh for the people to demand.” Mr. Powderly concluded his letter with a request that the people turn out at the primaries as they would on elecion day, and also takes occasion to add that be is not a candidate for congressional honors. Many believe, however, that he would accept the gubernatorial nomination if it came to him in the proper way, and that he would sweep the State. The warmer weather often has a depressing and debilitaing effect. Hood’s Sarsaparilla overcomes all languor and lassitude.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, APRIL 12, 1886.

THE FIELD OF LITERATURE. “MaasMres of the Mountains. H The most noteworthy book recently issued is the one bearing the above title, written by Jacob P. Dunn, jr., M. S., LL. 8., a resident of this city. It is published by Harper & Brothers, New York, in their best style, and is a very handsome volume. Its title indicates its character, though it is apt to convey a false impression. If one expects to find it sensational, he will be disappointed, for it is not. It is rather a carefully-prepared history of the deplorable and terrible massacres that have taken place in the western part of the United States since the Indian question in the mountain region began to occupy public attention. But while the book is in no sense sensational, it is at the same time one of the most intensely interesting that has come under our observation. It could not well be otherwise, dealing, as it does, with some of the most tragic affairs of this country. [The historian, for this is a history of the Indian question, has begun at the beginning of the question and traced it down to the present time, relating incidentally the many slaughters that have stained the Western plains and mountains with the blood of the venturesome white settler, and the huuter and trapper that dared the dangers of that region to reach the game that lurked in the fastnesses frequented only by' wild beasts and still wilder aborigines. The author begins by recounting in the preface the various leading points in the “Indian question” from the earliest time, briefly, of course, but conclusively. He first attempts to arrive at a correct idea of the number* of Indians that peopled this country before its discovery by Columbus, and easily shows that the many extravagant estimates by which it was claimed that there must have been many millions is ab surd. This he does by a computation proving how many coaid be sustained by the country at their disposal. His conclusion is that a million would be a generous estimate, while it might fall as low as a quarter of that number, The number now in the United States, exclusive of Alaska, is 270,000. He then proceeds to review the treatment accorded these wards of the Nation, and shows that in very many instances it falls little if any short of infamous. To this fact he ascribes the fact that the savages have so often proved treacherous and intractable. In support of these statements he cites indisputable authority and makes his assertions convincing. The second chapter takes up the his tory of the acquisition of the mountain region of the West, and the work then proceeds to the consideration of the subject as indicated by the title. The invasion of New Mexico is first considered, and then the first expedition to the Territory of Oregon. The first massacre recounted is that of the Pi*otestaut missionaries at Wailatpu, near Fort WallaWalla, the slaughter being instigated by certain French half-breeds. It is cited as a remarkable fact in that connection that at that time, nor in any of the subsequent killings, was there any Catholic or any relatives of those of that religious order molested. But it were impossible to mention all the features of this work, which goes into the consideration of all the great tragedies that have taken place in the great West from the causes named. Mr. Dunn spent some time in the region inwhicn these scenes are located, and has, beside, made an exhaustive study of the subject In preparing the work he brought to his aid the best and most trustworthy authorities accessible, and the result is a history of these deplorable events that will prove of inestimable value to the reader and student of the doings of the American Indian. The massacre at the Lava Beds by the Modocs, and that of General Custer’s gallant band on the Little Big Horn are recounted at length, and the entire text is illustrated with numerous engravings of places and people. The book closes with an account of General Crook’s expedition against the predatory Apaches ou the borders of Mexico. In this very handsome volume the literature of Indiana has been greatly enriched, and the people of this State will justly feel proud of it. It is for sale by the Bowen-Merrill Company. Mrs. Peixada.” Cassell & Cos., New York, have published a new novel by Sidney Luska, with the above ti tie. As in this young writer’s first novel, which attracted attention last year, the characters, with one or two exceptions, are of the Jewish faith. As in that story, also, music plays a leading part in the development of important events. The hero and heroine hold impassioned converse over the merits of different “schools” of music, and the reader is treated to a critical dissertation on Wagner and the Wagnerites, which will bore him or not, according to the interest he may feel in the subject. When the heroine played a Beethoven sonata to her lover, that impressible young gentleman felt that the subtlest and most sacred mysteries of the soul were being explained to him. In the language of the listener, “Deep melancholy, breathless terror, keen, quivering anguish, blank despair; flashes of short-lived joy, instants of hope, speedily engulfed in an eternity of despond; tremulous desire, the delirium of enjoyment, the bitter awakening to a sense of satiety and selfdeception; intervals of quiet reflection, broken in upon by the turbulent cries of a hundred malicious spirits; weird glimpses into a world of phantom shapes, exaltation into the seventh heaven of delight, descent into the bottomless pit of darkness; these were a few of the strange and vague, but none the less intense, emotional experiences" through which the player led him. This exuberant flow of language is a marked peculiarity of the hero; he is eloquent at all times, and in declaring his love to the object of his heart’s affection, an occasion on which ordinary men are more or less embarrassed, he delivers something very much like a stump speech. This form of attack is certainly very effective, the young woman addressed giving up her idea of resistance and succumbing to the flood of talk without further opposition. The dramatic sense is strongly developed in this author, but a lack of true artistic feeling makes his work far from agreeable to a critical taste. The plot of the story is ingenious, and the tragic situations well handled, but the reader finds a difficulty in letting his sympathies go in the direction of the heroine, as it is intended they should. A woman who is so lacking in the sense of honor and what is due to herself and her intended husband as to refraim from telling him not only that she had been previously married. but that she had been tried for her husband’s murder, is not the being to win the regard of the multitude. As this episode in her career in no wise alters her new husband’s love, however, and the shadow upon her reputation seems unlikely to affect her standing in the circle in which they move, this point is, pohaps, not one that calls for adverse criticism. The story has so many strong features that it is a matter of regret that as a whole it does not leave a more favorable impression. The author’s youth, how ever, gives hope for improvement in future work. Books Received. Harper & Bros, have made the following additions to tbeir Handy Series: “With the King

at Oxford,” two volumes, by the Rev. Alfred J, Church, M. A, and “Tulip Place,” a story of New York, by Virginia W. Johnson. To their Franklin-square Library they have added, “The Last Days of the Consulate,” from the French of M. Fauriel, and “The Mystery of Allan Grale,” a novel, by Isabella Fyvie Mayo. The Political Science Quarterly, edited by the faculty of political science of Columbia College, New York city, is anew candidate for popular favor. Its contents for March embrace papers by such well-known writers as Prof. Munroe Smith, Prof. John W. Burgess, Frank J. Goodnow, Frederick W. Whitridge and others. It is published by Ginn & Cos., 9 and 13Tremont place, Boston. The subscription price is $3 a year. In the way of stories, Roberts Bros., Boston, have republished two of Helen Jackson’s (H. H.) stories, than which few are better. The two now issued are “Hetty’s Strange History” and “Mercy Phiibrick’s Choice.” Harper & Bros., “Atla, a Story of the Lost Island,” by Mrs. 3. Gregory Smith. This is a novel laid in the fanciful land of Atlantis, now underlying the Atlantic ocean. William O. Stoddard’s new story for juveniles, “Two Arrows,” is issued this week by Harper & Bros. It is a story of an Indian of that name, and is full of remarkable adventures, in which Two Arrows always comes out triumphant, of course. It will please the boysT Memoir of Mrs. Edward Livingston.

Harper & Bros., New York; The Bowen-Merrill Company, Indianapolis. Literary Notes. Four thousand copies—the whole first edition —of the life of Longfellow have Deen sold. A copy of the Kilmarnock edition of Burns’s poems, dated 1786, has just been sold in Edinburgh for S4OO or more. Matthew Arnold has prepared an abridged and annotated school edition of his selection of Johnson’s “Lives of the Poets.” “A Victorious Defeat” is the paradoxical title of anew novel by Walcott Balestier, just announced by Harper Brothers. Mr. Justin Huntly McCarthy, M. P., is just about to publish (through Chatto & Windus) a new volume of verse, entitled “Hafiz in London.” Miss Florence Marrvat, who has recently been making a professional tour in the United States, has written a book describing her impressions of men and manners here. Sigurd Ibsen, a son of the Norwegian poet and dramatist, has been appointed, with special stipend, an attache of the Swedish-Norwogiau legation at Washington. The author of the story “A Brother to Dragons,” which was recently published in the Atlantic, is, according to the Richmond State, Miss Amilie Reeves, of Richmond, Va. Count Leon Tolstoi, the Russian novelist, has, it is reported, abandoned literature to become a shoemaker. Asa deeply religious man he has determined to carry out to the letter the precepts of the Sermon on the Mount. Sidney Luska [Harry Harland] has resigned his position in the New York Surrogate’s office, and will hereafter devote himself entirely to literature. He wrote his first novel in three weeks, working in the morning between the hours of 3 and 8. Mr. Corcoran, of Washington, it is reported, has presented to the Virginia Historical Society the stereotype plates of ‘The Madison State Papers,” which for forty years or more nave been in his possession. The published work is some what scarce. The plates have been offered to Congress for $5,000, and if the offer is accepted the money will be devoted by the society to the erection of a fire-proof hall. The plan adopted for the Congressional library is that of Mr. J. L. Smithmeyer,.of Washington. fii4 the estimated cost is $2,323,600, inclusive of site. The bill calls for the purchase, or taking by condemnation through the courts, of a site just beyond the east front of the Capitol. Not more than $550,000 is to be paid for the land. It is expected that it will be obtained for less. The building is to be 450 by 300 feet. It is intended to ask at the next session for $1,000,000 to continue the work, and $823,000 at the next session to complete it. The building will be detached, thoroughly incombustible, well ventilated, well lighted, and convenient of access to members of both houses of Coogress. If the worth of anything is proven by its results, then surely Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup is preeminently the best cough syrup now extant. Peas of the round kin<J may be planted very early. The wrinkled are more tender. Why wear out with continued coughing at night, when Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral will relieve, soothe and cure? SOCIETY MEETINGS. Masonic— mystic tie lodge, no. 398, f. and A.
