How ever caiefully the fotmer may bo con ducted, Its proximity to the latter It bound to bo annoying- mid huttful; and the less caiefully It Is liiuntiBOil the itreater Is the lncoiiKiulty. As between a saloon and u chinch lighting on Hilt Issue befoie a license couit then- can be no uncei talnty us to which deseivei to uievall. liven when- the saloon Is entitled to cjnlm prloilty the church inellts paramount consideration fiom all who valuo the well'aie of society. Those factual so well locognlzed that the meio statement of them appeals almost suporlluous. In the wise of the J'cmn Avenue Bap tist church against .1. C. Weleliel pub lic sentiment stands with the foiiner, and the position assumed by the 11 cuisp point tests under popular con demnation. This feeling- Is not person al aealnst Mr. Weleliel. His business Is legalized by the state and Is con ducted probably with as nillcli caie fur the i entitlements of the license law as Is evinced by the ineiage llcense holder In thes-o paits. Weie he to le nitive to another location the opposi tion againbt lilin would doubtless cense. Hut In the place whole Ills business now Is, It la legiuded by many woithy citizens as a nuisance, and nothing ad vanced In bis defence ltlates their claim. The couit, In IgnoilnR the unanimous lemonstiance of the lVnu Avenue conKrecatloii, took a position which cannot bo defended. The best thine that the couit can do, lor Its own take Is to lecall Its iriant of a license to Mi. AVeichel and lay diwn the tub that hereatter, undei no clrrumstancos, will I' legalize a hiiluon within a ceitaln distunce fiom a chinch or a public school. The piosldent's message is wisely le strlcted to the one subject of legislation for whoso consldeiatlon congiess was assembled. It shows the need of moie lovenue and It velteiates the ptlnclples which should guide congiess in socuilng moie. Now let the legislative biancli piomptly act. Tile Insurance Business. Insurance Commissioner latmbott's first annual lepoit gained for him piompt lecosnltlon as a vigilant and vlgoiuus olllclal whose aim compre hended the utmost piotectlon of polity holders possible by law, and his subse quent woidb and deeds have confirmed this Impiebslon. His lcjioi t for the year just ended lb largely occupied w Ith nai -latives of successful attempts by the insurance depaitinent to upioot fiaud tilent companies, and it shows that lit tle. If anything, has been left undone. Some queer tricks are exposed in the lepoit, notably that credited to the dlrectots of a Philadelphia company, who lu their lepoit for IS95 saw lit to enter among their assets a guarantee lor $22,000 conti United by them "out of a laudable deslie to shield the policy lioldeis 1 loin a legal liability of as bessment in a contingency"; but some months later It was found that SU.Oui) of this had been letuintd, without entiy on the bookb, to the i ontilbutor.s ot the guaiantte. "As the depaitinent instated" adds Colonel I.ambeit, "that this fund In each instance must be io gaided us a Heo trlft to all tne policy holder which could not be taken out nt the plejfcine ol the contilbutois, or Jf tlieiu was any intention of letiuiiing it, then It must be nteied as a liability ns well as an asset, they weie all so held in the several annual statement", and ns that very pioper method of bal ancing the statement did not seive the pin pose of the guarantee fund that of making-an Imposing show of assets that weie leally not assets Inteiest In keeping- up that luiul was materially damp ened." Ho Intends to see If the law cannot be made to put a stop to such juggling with llguiep. Another device concerning which ad ditional legislation may be nece3sar.v has been developed by a Philadelphia mutual company w hlch takes risk on its own account and reinsures them in a New Jersey mutual which Is not li censed to do business In Pennsylvania and coiiUl not be admitted under our laws. It Is evident that If this piao tlce bo tolerated, It would soon become unnecessary for any of the insuiance corporations of other states to secure a license In Pennsylvania and the com monwealth would lose half a million dollais In annual ravonue. Amomi the lecommendatlons urged upon the leglslatuie is that It Ilx a staudaid f oim of llio iusutance policy, which shall be imlfoiin omong tlio com panies doing business In the state. 1'lie depaitinent thinks It must be npparout that almost any fotm nuthoilzed by law, even though bad in some leuluies, must be better thai, none whatever, since, under existing- conditions, them may be Inserted In a cojitruct any pio- vlslon which the iiibuied is willing to accept or which may escape his atten-. Hon, no matter how vicious. This toi talnly appears ieasonabe. The jepoit shows that the Pennsyl vania compunles have had another jitospernus yeai. Hie piemiuin lecelpts tor 1VJ0 being over lour bundled tlious und dullais moie than the inecediiig' year, while the losses were only u little over two bundled thousand dollais greater. Talcing all the eomnanloii le poitlng to the depnitmeut, tlio showing Is better, as th premiums received weie neatly a million dollais moie than in U.90, while the losses weie two millions and a half loss, The ratio of losses to premiums lecelveJ by Pepii f ylvr.ii la companies was CS.O.'j.us against 6,11 In 1S95, and of all the eompunlea C3.29, au against G5.70 the yjur befoie. TJu tt Is no vIMblp ffason why thh Impiovement nunlit not to continue during- the prmeiit ciu The new tailff bill In entitled "an act to piovlde levciuie for the g-oveiimient and to nintect the Industries of the United States." That (Kh exactly the Wish of the people, notwithstanding the stildent howling of a few Mugwump lmpoi tors, Buncombe. Accoidlng to the Philadelphia In (luliet's llanlsbuig eonospondent, who Is doubtless supplied with misinforma tion by Senator Coyle, the anthracite coal lesion Is so full of "mlsciy, want and destitution, hiouglil about by the manlpulatioii of capitalists," Hint a leg islative investlcatlon Is needed. The Schuylkill senator Is thcicfoio detci mlnod to d"iiuind one, and keep on de manding until tlw auditory nerves of the minions of capitalistic gieed ate patalyzed Into acquiescence. Thf.i Is all very lnteiestlng fiom n galleiy i tandpolnt and it will no doubt tend to lnciease Senator Coylo's next vote aiuonir the clas of piofesslonul leformeis who labor in fiont of con vivial resorts with the weapon that Sampson employed when sluylni; the Philistines; but of what conceivable utility can it be fiom the point of view of the geneial public'.' Can a coulmlt tee of the Pennsylvania leglslatuie lilt up the in Ice of cunl and thus, under the wage scale In vogue lu Schuylkill county augment the Incomes of Senator Coyle's constituents? Can it foice the liunspoitatlon companies to halve their tolls on coal cai i led to lldewatei? Can It do moie than the opeiatois them selves, woikliiK In unison, have sought to do to Iinpiuv'e the condition of Hie coal Hade and thus lead dliectly to a betteiineiit of the financial and social conditions of the communities that de pend for their welfaie upon that tiade'.' No honest man falls to sympathize with tile woikeis in our mines who find oppoitunille.s for labor lestilcted and gloss earnings l educed by slack ness in the uiitluuelte muiket. Hut It Is not going to help them any to luie a lot of junketeers fiom ITanlsbuig tiavellng aioiind among them, pauidlng their misfoi tunes befoio the publlu and fomenting the .splilt of bitterness with out cause. It Is a laie Industiy nowa days, which has not In the last few months had haidshlps to contend with; but It Is not the business of the legls latuie at Hiuilsbiiig to tuin detective for the pin pose ol exploiting: pilvution. We suspect that Senator Coyle is dealing laigelj In buncombe. Hepmts aie multiplying- that Spain intends to give up the snuggle In Cuba. Let us pi ay that they may piove ac cuiate. Face the Music. Tile case of Gcoige I1. I.oomls of Wilkes-llaue, now a subject of geneial comment In this legion, piesents points woithy of consldeiatlon. It appeals, accoidlng to the bebt evidence at band, that this piomlslng- young attorney, whose ptospeots until leeently seemed the blightest, has tor two yeais or moie been pinched financially. He hoi lowed money of friends and also, it would appeal, withheld portions of funds en ti listed to him in a fiduciary relation ship, afteiwaid either making the bal ance good oi piomlsiug to do so at soni" rutin e time. Seveial days ago, he left vYIlkes-IJaite without explanation, and it Is discovered thut his accounts aie short to the extent of $SO0O or tlieie abouts. In a letter fiom San Antonio, Tex, to afilend in Wilkes-Dane Mr. Loomis is repiesented ab having said that he hoped his fi lends would not be too sevete with him and would endeavor to foiget him. He said some might think him a tow aid for not leinain ing and facing the music, but he could not do it, he tiled for some time and the effoit was driving lilin mad. For two yeais, he bad bepn won led over his money affaiis, and tiv as he would to stiaiijliteii them out, be seemed to be so unloi lunate that he got deeper and deeper in debt all Hie time. At last came the time when exposal e seemed Imminent and be lesolved to go away. settle down in sonie place vvlieie he was not known, lead an honest life and woik haid in the effoit to make sulli clent money to pay off his debts. All who aie peisonally acquainted with Mr. Loomis will, ve imag ine, leadlly acquit him of dis honest intent. His case is one that calls for sympathy lather than consul e; and it Is to be legietted that he has weakened It by flight. It Is not too late for him yet to act tlio biave pait by letutning to the scene of his mlslortunes, fiankly acknowledging his fault and thiowiug himself upon the inetcy of bis ciedltois. Human natuie has by no means sunk so low that such a couise would not appeal to its gener ous side and win aid and comfort. One advantage of poilods of business de pi esslon similar to that fiom which we are now emeiging is that among the gleat majoilty of men and women it stimulates charitj and mutual fotbear anee. The need of one Is recognized by eveiy other as n possible peisonal ex pel lence, and tlieie Is less of the wolfish inclination to uish to the lending of a fellow cieaturo ovei taken by mlstoi tune. Our advice to those who aie placed as Mr. Loomis was Is to face the inuslu like men. It may bo easier advice to give than to follow, but the oxpcilonoe of the ases shows that it is sound. It Is to be hoped that business condition-! will soon be such us to l educe veiy hugely the temptations which appear to have swept tills unhappy man to a eilsls. AVe- offer since! e congratulations to the Philadelphia Times lor louiidlug out the twenty-second jenr of its pub lication, and to Colonel McCluie lor the good foitune which lias spuied him to witness, this deinoustiatlon of his pie selenee and capability as an editor.

It Is -now pioposed by some of the ftiends of David Hi Hill to elect him to the Flfty-slxtlf eoumess, In the hope that It will bo Lleuiociutlo und that he may btt Its speaker. This ia counting chickens a long way In advance of theli incubation - 'S(Uln Smalley has been inleivlew Ing Secretary Sheiman for the t.rinihin Times nnd he quotes him as saying that the United States wouldn't take Cuba ns n gift, We have our doubts about that, Time will toll. Foi ttial denial Is made by Senator Ilanna that ho ever contemplated breaking a pationage lance with Sena tor Piatt or Quay, "J may have nlms," he .t.ays, "but I am not a fool." We should say he wasn't. If the Poweis ot Kuropo had not neglected their duty in Ciete little (jieico would not have brcn foiced to Intel vene. (.lotting- futlnus at her pre sumption won't modify their damning l'ccoid. The wisest thins that the Pennsyl vania leclslatuie can do Is to cork up Its lofty new capltol ambitions and proceed to pass a bill can lug out the goveinoi's sensible suggestions. . . When It Is announced that the presi dent and cabinet meditate no change In the government's policy toward Cuba it doesn't signify that the Fifty -fifth congitss won't make one. We must sa that Ml.
