STATUS OF I'OMCYHOLUKUS.
Tliolr Inturt'Ht In IM nt mil Corporations
A Maryland Di-clHion.
Ohief-Justico McShorry of the Mary
land court of appeals , in n long opinion
discussing the case of Levi Z. Condon
ot al. vs. the Mutual Reserve Fund Lifo
Association , just handed down at Balti
more , defines the status of policyholders
in a mutual insurance corporation. The
court found for the association , decid
ing that it had no jurisdiction in the
inntter , and could not , under the cir
cumstances , interfere with the internal
conduct of a foreign corporation.
The chief justice says : "A policyholder -
holder in a , mutual insurance association
stands in a two-fold relation towards the
company. Ho is a policy holder and ho is a
member. ' Growing out of this , as well
as altogether apart from it , there maybe
bo " . ' ' 'clistincfc relation of creditor , but
wlth this latter wo are not now cou-
corned. He is alike insurer and in
sured , but in both capacities he is a
member , and it is solely because he is a
member that ho occupies either of these
positions. The more fact that ho is a
member of the corporation does not pre
clude him from asserting against the
corporation any right arising out of his
contract , but the character of the rem
edy invoked may measure the limits of
the jurisdiction of the tribunal appealed
to , when the domicile of the corporation
is considered. There are obvious diffi
culties that would be encountered if the
courts of one state undertook to adjust
the internal affairs of a foreign corpor
ation formed under the laws of a differ
ent state and having its habitat within
the borders of another sovereignty. "
THE CONSERVATIVE
THAT LEG
ISLATION. TIVE calls upon the
republican and
other newspapers to republisli the prom
ises for reform legislation and a reduc
tion of expenditures which were so gen
erally given to the voters of Nebraska
in the campaign of 1898 by the advo
cates and orators of McKinleyism.
; That promised abolition of railroad ,
oil and other inutile and expensive sal
ary-eating partisan officials does not
yet materialize.
The new revenue law , where is that ?
Where is the law correcting the in
justice in existing methods of selecting
and electing county commissioners , by
which a town like Nebraska City ,
Omaha , or Plattsmouth can vote for
only a commissioner residing in its dis
trict , and the country outside may elect
the other two , and these two , being a
majority , may fix the taxation of those
whom they do not represent , and bur
den their property with an unfair share
of the costs of county government ?
Let us hear how many of these prom
ises" , made by the republicans iu Ne
braska , for better and purer legislation ,
have been fulfilled ? It is important to
E fr.v nfr
learn whether any truths can bo traced
to their newspapers or orators of lost
autumn.
A recent issue of THE CONSERVATIVE
contained an article relative to a rail
way correspondence school which is
managed by Mr. Geo. H. Baker , the ad
dress being given as No. 1 Madison ave
nue , Chicago ; it should have read No. 1
Madison avenue , Now York.
