" Oh. I **> eeaeed to be aa offleer of the Tammany

reply. lt ts safe to say that Mr. Purroy dld not
make more than one straight answer to a croobcd
queatloo durlng hls examinatlon. After some ham
merlng- by Mr. Irms ln this lnstanee, Mr. Purroy
at last sald. ? They give an excuialoo onee every year.

"They bonght as many as they wantod. They
mlght have bonght two."

" Mr Vreeland, of the Buveau of the In.__e_.on of

?Are the fund- of that soclety belng u?ed ln this
_Jtv*tion ?"
" I thlnk." sald Mr. Purroy. ? __f tho soclery always
contrlbutes as grnerously as r.sslble to the _nc__ss of
the Deniocratie party ln the Annexed District."
-And they are r_ntr.but.ng thls year to the sup?
port of Mr. Haffent" (the Tammany candidate for Com
Blnlin.T of street Improvements ln the Twenty-thlrd
t* Twenty-fonrth Wards.)
"II would be contrary to thelr eustom lf they dld
not," was Mr. Purroy's answer.
-Part of thc money," asked Mr. Ivlns, "eomes
irom the money pald by flremen for that excurslon 1
"I couldn't tell ye. Some of lt mlght oome from
the flremen."
'?Do all the flremen go on this excurslon?

? Oh yes, I hare seen a chief of battalion there: I
have also seen captalns."
"And they all have to payt"
"Oh y_," sald the Comml.sioner. Unghlng, you
may den-id on lt that no one gets acr.__ that gang

tlldn't want to have too many and we raLsed the

" Now, hasn't lt $5,000 at preaent 1"
"1 ___idn't be surprUed. But lf you sald $..000
it might be ne__.sa_y."
" Aud. lf neces-ary. yon wonld put lt all up!
" I would be ln favor ot putUng lt all up."
? What do you put It up forl"
?? To -onDteraot clrcular. sent ont. and we nave men

(Laughter.)
? How many roembei. of tbe Fire Department are

"I couldn't tell you, bnt there are some.

Thera waa a shout of laughter; but there was noth
tng but aolemn sllenco when Mr. Ivlns sald, crimly,
-They may not be when I get through.

WHAT AKB "THt; I__i__E___ OF TIIE PBOPLBM
The oftielal eonduct of tho Snpertntendaat of tbe
New-York Insurance Department durlng the pa.t few
month. has been such a_ to entltle him to no pral*.,
but on the other band to suhject hira t_ mu. h w_i
de_ervod censure. The most rharltal.l* term that caa
be nsed to dc8crlbe tbe preaent asimlnlstrallon of th*
Insurance Deparimont is the word urhlmaieat. Read
crs will remember the ahaurd roa*on given by tbe
Superlntendent slx months a.-o when he dq< lined to
proceed agalnst violators of thc Insurance laws after
suttlcient evidenoe Iiad been placed In hls hand*. He
sald that he wa_ ? too busy."
What lmportont engagements so tr_pas*cd upon
the tlme of the Superlntendent that he wa* unabie to
attempt the enforcement of the Insurance laws never
ha. i)_-n mado public, althdugh the in._i.le of the .State
of New-York have a rigiit to know ahy thelr scrvaot
ln the Insurance Department is lntapacitat-d for a?
tendlng to tbe duties strlctly impo-od uP.n him by
law. The fact that the .uperintondent of Insurance
decMed a few day? ag?> to begln the pr?cecdlngs whlch
he deellned to interot hlmself ln slx ni.tnthi a.ro show*
very clearly the strciu.'th of the evlden _ Pr*r*_ented
tn him and eonvicts him of hstving deliherab-ly dllly
dallied, heedless of the welfar. of the grcat Interesi*
which he has been appolnted to supervl->e.
Tl.is ls only one Ulustration of tlie kind ot State
sup_rvl:>ioJi that ls now regnant ln Now-Vork, and we
r_fer to tt mcrely to show the utter disregajd manlfested
by the Superintondont toward the righu of Insurance
eompanle., wldch, ln the regular course of proceduie,
make tltelr Drst apjxv.l.* to him.
In the matt.r of a>lniitting companies to do busi?
ness In tlie state of New York, tlie .-up<-rintenrtent ' __
recently a*sume<l a dictttorlal b>ne which il do.* not
become an In-uranco < ommlssloncr ti put <-n. Ser
eral .ompanios havo ree?ntly aPPlied f..r admlssloa
and liave not yet reoelved it, altli'.uKh no g.od reason
aPpears why tliey should not have obtaln.-d thelr
licenses long ago. One nolable aPPlliant is ths
AniTi.an Caaualty Insurance and __urlty Comp-iiy
of Baltimore?a eorporatlun Iiaving one million dollan
of pald ln capltal and a ca.li .urplus of one half miiiioa
dol!ar_. .
Let us see what authority the 8upcrtntendent has
andor tho law to rcfuse admlssion to a c*impany from
STiotlier State applying for i^rmissl.n to transact the
bu?lne_ of insurance in the State of New-York. We
_ao*le ia fall the second tection <_ < 'bapter _i_ .. tiie
Laws of 1878, ln whlch theae powers are d_lned:
"fec. 2. The sald Superlntcndent shall have p.wer
to refuse admlssloij to any company, corporation cr
associatlon apPlying t' be permltt"d bi tmua*t tha
business of Insurance ln this State fr-m any oth.T .-tite
or country, whenovcr upon examlnatlon tho capltal
stock of such empany, corporation or a-s^claton, shall
be lnipairod, and also wlnnevr. ln h.s Judgment, such
refnsal to admit shall best promote t:_ i:.t rvsts of the
pcplo of thi* State."
As there can be no doubt that t'.e n_lt!m .re Kdj
p.ny lu_? C">mplli-l In every re^pect wlth tl.e Isw* of
tlie State of Maryland, that tlie one and one-half
millions of tollars wlth whicli It le_1ns huslncs*
aro ltiveoted iu ihe sounde.it securltles, and that lts
capltal stock ls B0_ Inipaired, lt foll.ia. that the Su
porinter.dent of In.uranco has an far refuse. to Ueenae
thls company because, ln his Judgnient, "such refusal
to admit shall beht promoto the liitcrests of Uie people
of this **-__."
It would soem to bo tn tlie Interestt of the people to
have all flnanciully sound Insurance t_mpanies, or
g:inized and oHlceixd bf re_I __s'.ble men, admltted to
do busli:e_s lu tiiis ._tii_. They aro entitled to bavo
every benoflt which rt-ults from the freest ?.mpetltiop,
provided that tlie companios sollclUng buslne*_ are nol
"wUdcaU." No <|iie_tion __? be rulied a* to the
iBBfldal strength of the Haltimore $$B_fMf, nor aa to
tlw re*pon*lbiIity and hlgh standlng o_ lts org____e_
and offlce.-. lt propo.c_ to tran-nct llncs ot lnsurunce
that are already bcing prosocutcd by other companlss
doins business ln tlie State of New York -
The Insurance supcrvising of_.l_l_ of thlrty States
have admltted thls company without question ln onler
to -be-t Promoto the Int?-re.U of the IM.?<)Plc.',
Wo undersUud that the Attorney-G_ie_.l of lha
Stato of New-York, and the ofti.ial assoclates of tbe
buperlntendent lu the Insurance Department, can flnd
no objoctlon to tho admlssion of this company. Why,
then, should Suporlntondent M;ixwcll as.ume an un
reasonable and autooratlc tone aod d.-cllne to allow tbis
company to come ln. Hla doBaace of tbe oounael of
hls cu-tomary adrtsers laaves him aothmg to stand
upon but the narrow platfoi-m of whlmsieaLty or rub
bornnees.
Morvover, the Insurance Commlssior.er ls Incoo
slstent The Stato of New York has created one
corporation whlch olosely l--M-M$. ln the ui-ttcr ol
