The Mutual" Company. One fact has been brought out in the insurance investigation -with absolute clearness and that is that the State Life is in no fcense, or has been in no sense, a mutual company, except in name. The company is and has been from the start, Messrs Sweeney, Quinn, Wynn and Coffin those four and no more. They have conducted the business as their very own, so far as any control, supervision or advice of any other interested person might go just as much so as though it had been a private bank or a subscription book business. They are the officers, elected by themselves; they are the executive committee, elected by themselves. Now, we are not necessarily criticising this arrangement. It may be the best way of conducting the bus! ness it certainly is for the officers or proprietors. Hut any one can see that it is termendously likely to lead to looseness of methods and abuses in over-swollen salaries, expense allowances, and profits on the side. But whether it is a good arangement or not, people ought to know and understand just what it is. In taking Insurance they should realize that they are not really going into a company; but that Messrs Sweeney, Quinn, Wynn and Coffin are undertaking to insure them; that these four men are the company and have absolute and unchecked authority, except as controlled by the law, to do what they please with the assets and profits of the business. Indianapolis News. Paying iHc FVcigHt. Under the above title the Philadelphia North American discusses the proposition of the Increase of transportation of certain heavy freights by 10 per cent on the part of main trunk lines. It concludes thus: Let it be clearly understood that the expansion of railroad business can by no means have reached its limit. Ten years hence there will be more coal to carry and much more small freight. If the railroads are now choked with coarse and heavy material, what will be the conditions then? Are tolls to be still further advanced? If the parasite express companies are picking up vast unfair profits now, what will, be the dimensions of their gains then? We can only guess at the future conditions; but we may be sure, first, that the commerce of the nation will be obstructed and, second, that the plain people will pay all the bills. They are to suffer the penalties for the indifference with which they have permitted important public waterways to be destroyed and railroads to play any fastand loose game that pleased them. The squeeze is beginning to be felt in this advance of freight rates. There will bo more trouble and more pain after a while as we go along, unless, Indeed, public sentiment shall Insist on canal restoration and on suppression of the express company graft.

Brownsville, was on the stand before
the senate committee on military af
fairs. ' He was the non-commissioned officer of B quarters the night of the affray, and had possession of the keys

there was only one key to each.
Jackson insisted that he counted the
guns before he took charge for tha
day and night of August 13, and said
that all of the company guns were safely deposited, and locked. His story of the incidents of that night was similar to the stories told by
previous witnesses.
Jackson was one of the men arrest
ed August 13, and he told of his con
fiffement in the guardhouse, until two
days later, when the battalion was sent to Fort Reno. He said did not know who was responsible for
the charges filed against him and others.
