DELAWARE DEADLOCK BROA'KSV

delay, which in many cases would be
far more injurious than submission to
the proposed cut. . .
It appears, too, that the roseate rep
resentation given out after the earth
quake and fire, that with few excep
tions the companies Involved were
solvent, was unwarranted. There Is
reason to believe that a good many of
them have not sufficient surplus to
meet their obligations in full. On the
other hand, it is to be said to the credit
of twenty-five or thirty of the compa
nles that they propose to pay In full

While the situation Is unfortunate
for San Francisco, It Is really hardly
less serious for the Insurance business
in general, the good fajth and prestige

TAfT9 ARMT Ff?O.HOT70. SCHEME.
The bill prepared by Secretary Taft
for changing the method of promotion
of regular army officers is .likely to
be dffflcult to paas. Its central feature
is authority to. weed out the large num
ber of officers who by reason of physical
or mental Incapacity are able, through
the old system of promotion by the
rigid rule of seniority, to block the
way of younger'and more capable
officers to the places to which they are
by merit entitled and In which it Is
the public interest to have their serv
ices.
It Is a familiar fact that as the. case
stands the most capable officers are
too often held back In the lower
grades till they reach an age at which
some of them become incompetent for
the higher grades. The inevitable ef
fect of such a system Is to weaken the
military arm, and Its general tendency
is to paralyze the ambition and effort
of young officers whose Career is be
fore them'. ' -
Secretary Taft's bill, which has been
prepared with exceeding care and -in
the light of thorough investigation,
prescribes a system of examinations
which would summarily rid the serv
ice of a large number of officers who,
though they have not reached the
legal age of retirement, are a detri
ment both by their mere presence and
by keeping accomplished officers. out
of their proper places, and also opens
a way by which officers of exceptional
abilities and successful devotion to
duty cah be promoted in accordance
with their merits without waiting for
the inconvenient, and often - unjust
operation of the seniority rule.
Such' propositions to reform the mil
itary establishment have had to en
counter obstinate and too frequently
insuperable opposition, and there is no
reason to hope that Secretary Taft's bill
will be an exception to th rule.
The Nebraska postmasters acted
promptly upon the suggestion of The
Bee that the next time their, organisa
tion was to. meet in Omaha the organi
zation of the Iowa postmasters should
be Invited to meet simultaneously at
Council Bluffs with a Joint convention
for discussions and, addresses. Not
only this, but they decided to meet in
Qmaha.to carry put the pilan next year,
notwithstanding the usual custom of
going to different towns with aueces
slve conventions. We have iio doubt
that the1 Iowa postmasters . wllf ? act
favqrabjy upon the Invitation and "that
the interstate postmasters' convention
next year will be made, a atriking suc
cess in every particular-
Reports of the completion of. the
woik of the equalizing board at South
Omaha reminds us that although the
assessment and taxation machinery of
Omaha and Douglas county have been
i i ' , a ,
consolidated,' separate municipal as
sessment of South' Omaha still prevails
notwithstanding the fact that it is un
necessary duplication ot labbr and ex
pense. The absorption of the South
Omaha assessor's office into the office
of the county assessor should be put
upon' the legislative program for early
action.
One estateln probate in Douglas
county will alone pay Into the public

It was supposed that the medicine

ample to others for some time to come,
but this expectation seems rto have
been disappointed. Should the perpe

brought to justice they will have no
claim t mercy.
The fate of Lieutenant Bolton, gov
ernor ot . Davao. tends to prove that
the natives of Mindanao are not ready
for pacification by moral suasion, and
that men who are representing the

chances with savages. A gun. Is better
than an argument in some cases. '

OTHKR. LAItni TH.H'OlnJ.
A, correspondent on dwty.at the eeilons
of the Rueeian dumK deeorlbea lt aa the
moat democratic and picturesque assembly
In the world, fta democracy la attested
by the statement that prlncea are seated
between pease nt members, and. further
more, that tbrir, relations are -most cor

large eitent.tfi" many racra and clans rep

th correspondent, "have dressed them
selves like the'lr cadet friends; that Is,
mainly In sack suits. Usually dark colored
and starched collars and tics. About balf
of hem. however still wear their embroid
ered cotton blouses and top boots. Only
the Polish and I.lttle Russian peasants
make an effort at a brave arpearance,
with their white long woolen coata, or
caftans, often braided- rather elaborately,
and with broad magenla' woolen sashes, or
leather belts, six Inchea wide. One of them
has retained hla caftan and sash, but
discarded the embroidered home-made ahlrt
for coamopolitan haberdashery.
"There la a Polish member who Is dressed
in light blue tlghta. and a ahort Eton
Jacket and Hessian boots. He has curly
hair and looks exactly like the hero of
'Cavallerla 'Rustlcana.' There Is a Cau
caslan member who Is dressed In a long
white flannel coat reschlng to his kneee,
adorned with an Intricate pattern pf dark
crimson braid, and he also wears a long
soft brown aleaveless cloak hanging from
his shoulders, bordered with vermilion
stripes. There are some socialists who
wear no collars, and there la, of course,
very kind of headdress you can concleva
Taken as a whole It Is a youthful' as
aemblage. The peasants, with a few ex
ceptions, are between 25 and 40 years,
and some of them appear almost boys.
The cadets are somewhat older, ranging
mainly from 36 to G6 years. One notices
a preponderance of professors, barristers
and Journalists, often combined 1n one

a few of the peasants have a clear Idea
of what Is going n.'
The London correspondent of the Now
York Sun, commenting on tli-effcct abroad
of recent exposures of American corpora
tions, says: "It becomes the duty, hdv-
ever painful, of anv conscientious corre
apondent to Inform his countrymen of th
Indictment which the world at large is
bringing against them and to warn them
that it Is not corporate criminals alon
who are being arraigned, lt la the whole
American people-who stand today at th-;
bar of public opinion before' their aister
nations. Never befpre has American com
mercial honor been, so attacked abroad.
Never before have the American people
been so criticised for neglecting their pri
mary public duties.
The old world has come to believe m
general terms . that . American .business
methods are rotten. It ia a sad thing to
write of the rertltatlo'ri of one'a countrv,
but lt Is the simple truth, and the ' truth
better be told without disguise. - It" will
take more than a paper reorganization
the great life Insurance1 companies and a
cleaning of the. Augc&a, stables at Chicago
to restore ,urOfean . belief in American
honesty and fair dealing. II will be a Ion;?

, The .British, office lias resolved to
withdraw the entire garrison from tha
little Island 1,400 milea off the coast of
Guinea where Napoleon died and wher,
in- recent years, the conquered Boer gen
erals had' their habitation. At first thought
this may "seem aM" Insignificant matter,
but, aa 1t will- be presently pointed out In
the House of Conmns, tt means ruin u
the permanent lrihattanta of St. Helena.
.The total estimated value -of the -island's
wealth Is only 1100,000, divided among
about 10,000 Inhabitants. To keep this
wealth productive-. the garrison, which in
nornutl times amounts to nearly 2,000 men,
has been, a most aotive factor. This will
at once be seen when It la noted that the
Imports, including specie, are usually five
times the value of, the exporta, and that
the expenditure of the Island is almost
double the'revenue.
The presence of the garrison means the.
active annual circulation of over 60,000
Just sufficient to keep up the equilibrium.
If this ba annihilated the products sold to
the ships entered and cleared at St. lV l
eua, while possibly sufficient to keep tha
population from actual want, muat curtail
to a measurable degree public expendi
tures, and hence the civilization of the is
land, notwithstanding the paltry grant of
fC00 annually from the home government
for education, will Inevitably suffer.
Some comparison has been made In a
Berlin letter to the New York Evening
Poat between tha coRta of life insurance
In, some of the leading German companies
and the one big New York concern doing
business in that country. The German
mutual companies taken for Illustration are
the Gotha the Karlsruhe, tha old Stutt
gart and the old Lelpalg. ' The gross pre
mium charge on 10,000 marks of Insurance
ranges from 412 to 43.17 marks In the Ger
anan companies, and Is 428.50 marks for tha
New -York company. But expenses In the
German companies reach the extraordi
nary. low level of from 4 to 6.9 per cent
of Income, while for the New York com
pany they amount to some 20 per cent.
The result Is that the annual dividends In
the German companies range from 28.7 to
S4.7 per cent, while for the New York com
pany they have lieen only about 10 per
cent. It la stated that the New Tork com
pany for a time sold only policlea carrying
an annual distribution of surplus, but ita
dividends made so poor a comparison with
the German companies that It haa lately
resumed the sale of cumulative or deferred
dividend policies, which are so admirably
adapted to conceal high costs of admin
istration'. It Is said, in explanation of the
fact that the New York company haa still
bean 'able to do a large business' In com
petition wltb, the German companies, that
this Is due to the .high percentage paid to
agents and also to the wide advertising
done and the parade of huge figures of sur
plus, which give aa impression of solidity.
' The report -of the charity commissioners
of Kngland and Wales for the year IS
discusses the possibility of reviving the
apprenticeship, system. . After pointing out
that the conditions existing when most of
tha apprenticeship charities were founded
have been changed by the Introduction of
machinery and the division of labor, and
that only In exceptional cases Is it now
possible for an apprentice , to become a
member of his master's household and
there to acquire a complete knowledge of J
nis (ran, tne coinmissionera express the
opinion that the continuous training which
apprenticeahlp cai give ia still a valuable
aid to industrial efficiency, and therefore
any meana of extending that system should
be adopted. They suggest that the partial
failure of many apprenticing charitlea la
due to the fact that the trusteea. while
conscious that apprenticeship to be of value

sufficiently In touch with the conditions of
Industry to ba able to take advantage of

resolution he Interested Mr. Llttlefleld of

Interest In Immigration Bill.
Interest in the pending Immigration bill
which Representative Gardiner of Massa
chusctts Is endeavoring to have considered
by the house before adjournment of the
present session seems to . have taken on
new life. Judging from the number of tela
grams members received today from all
sections relative to the educational test
Mr.i Kennedy received a telegram signed
by G. W. Wattles. G. M. Hitchcock, R.
Cowell, J. C. Wharton and J. C. Dahlman
favoring stricter Immigration laws and the
educational' tests "for Immigrants, but
modified, however, that refugees from re
ligious or political peraecutlon be permitted
to enter this country without said test."
A similar telegram was also received by
Mr. Kennedy from tilt chairman of his
congressional committee, A. W. Jeffries.
Inquiry from those in charge of the Im
migration bill developed tha fact that this
waa a "round robin" In favor of the Jews.
' Omaha Importers Complain.
Senator Millard received a letter from
the treasury department today relative to
importations from Canada to Oiuaha. One
of the big packing companies has com
plained that Canadian goods shipped in
bond to Omaha were detained at some
port near the Canadian border and there
received for the Importer, who of necessity
had to remit the customs duties whereas
under the law and regulations such con
signment Bhtpped In bond to Omaha ought
to have been cleared 'at the latter 'port
and. the duty paid to Omaha. Senator Mil
lard laid the case before the department
and complained of the Irregular practice
In which the port of Omaha was discrim
inated against.
The secretary In reply saya: "By ref
ersnce to article dclxxxxl of the customs
regulations of 1899 you will see that mer
chandlse may ' be forwarded to Omaha
under consular seal and manifest without
entry at the port of arrival in the United
States. Any specific case where goda are
not forwarded as desired will be promptly
Investigated on receipt of advice thereof."

Help Your Stomach
The chief cause of Indigestion and Stom
ach Trouble is the failure of the lads to
properly secrete the normal digestive fluid.
This suppression of the secretions is usually;
due to the circulation in the glands becoming
clogged with tha jelly-like form of uric acid.
lajjiL. the circulation thus clogged and
if I 111 the secretions suppressed, artifi
cial digestives can at best give but temporary
relief. Stimulants at first give relief, but
afterwards the re-action Is so depressing that
they make the case chronic, and the user a
slave to the stimulant. For. anything like
satisfactory results, the normal secretions
must be restored. To do this the uric slid
must be cleared from the Mood.
