A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- Es- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by tho PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. Established 1848. _ _ _ The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; fie event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid. bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to be paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. The assured will thus always have the option of retain ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t the duration of the Policy, such amounts being sot forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the ease with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as ono greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by , mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every policy Issued on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. _ _ In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this class as security, may always know tho utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the AssurancPs—a matter of great importance whore policies -tre held as collateral security. _ _ It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any Rround whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom.

EDITORS ITV AM:MICA. (From the Ang,S,-American Times) The American papers continue to furnish amusing instances of the consequsoces of an eslitse's fication throughout the States with his paper. Mr. Horace Greeley, having one of the greatest journals, figures most prominently before the people, and notwithstanding a record more free from reproach than that of ordinary men who have dose so much and lived till nearly sixty, yet he fiuda many individuals ready to denounce his moral character, to question his ability, to doubt his judgment, condemn his manners, and deny his suc cess. Some judge success by a man's accumula tion of dollars; hence a miser who has lined the floor beneath his bed with bsgs of gold, above which the emaciated wretch is starving, must be their highest ideal ; but this is not Horace Greeley's ideal, who has achieved another sort of prsspei and leaves something very different from heaps of dollars to mark his career through life. But it is not easy to see, as does a contemporary, the con nection between Ilorace G-reeley's accumulation and the doctrines he holds on political economy. A man imbued with the notion that his theories should be acted on by his country might re duce himself to a state of beggary while teaching what was true, while a man who knew nothing and cared nothing for such laws, or the welfare of his fel low-citizens, might amass a fortune, perhaps by their direct infringement. Whether Adam Smith made money or not we do not know ; most pro bably he lost it, for he wrote a book in those days few men understood. The same charge was con stantly brought against Cobden which the Scranton Republican, of Pennsylvania, brings against llora.ce Greeley, that he did not illustrate by his own in vestments the soundness of the judgment he endea vours to impose en the nation. Cobden rather lost than made a fortune, and so must all men who un dertake unselfishly to work for the benefit of a country, but the English had the good taste and feel 'ing nationally to raise a sum sufficient for his require ments, so that the great Free-Trade champion was never in want of the loaf he cheapened for his coun trymen. The Scranton Republican, in discussing some coal-mining suggestions of the American champion of Protection, hopes " the miners will not attach too much importance to them. In a matter of practical business a more untrustworthy coun sellor could scarcely be selected. Mr. Greeley broke down every one of the numerous promising enterprises in which his friends started him before the Tribune was conceived, and the great business success of the latter is due entirely to Mr. Thomas M'Elrath, its publisher. Mr. Greeley is now 60 years old, and can hardly be said ever to have made a cent for himself yet. For his share of the profits of the Tribune he may thank better business men than himself." Now, we assert that this is the worst possible answer to the Tribune's argu ments, admitting it to be true, which it is not. We believe Horace Greeley to be wrong in apply ing, at least to the full extent in which he would apply them, Protection doctrines to America, but whether Mr. Greeley gave too much for the horse he drives, the dinner he eats, or the white hat he wears, is no answer to the Tribune's reasoning. Were the editor less connected with the journal, so that the words therein were not recognized as com ing from the mouth of Horace Greeley, such a line of argument could never be taken. If men will thrust themselves, in propria persona, into the columns they edit, and invade the precincts of such places as Billingsgate, where some of the fish-wives occupy editorial chairs, they are sure to be caught by the hair of the head. So long as the editor be not ball, there is something tangible in that all can see and grasp, and the physical exer tion being easier, producing in the mind's eye of the dweller in Billingsgate a more apparent result - , he naturally takes it, but such a resort would not be open if American editors did not remain ident'- fled with their papers; they, and those associated with them writing so constantly of thetuselves and of each other: A paper ought to go into time world for the people to judge 'it by their notion of its merit. The public may be thick-headed and not appreciate the organ or the opinions it advo cates; it may run counter to the then current of feeling and very soon be swamped ; but whether the successful one of twenty, or among the nineteen failures, it has to stand on the reception given to it by those of whom the editor knows nothing, or they of him personally ; hence it must be independent of its editor. Nor is it wise, for if among the nine teen failures, it will be treasured against the Esti tor's name ; while success creates jealousy. The work too is in another way impeded, for the opi nion of a successful paper carries far more weight than the opinion of a successful individual ; there fore the editor robs the journal to clothe himself with some of its influence, au influence he may not even have gained for it. One of the reasons that American public men care so little what American papers say of them is, that they know the man who says it, and . are aware, as may be the general public, that the charges were trumped up outof envy, hatred, and ma lice. It is not the charge of a carefully edited organ dealing fairly with a name, but the ipse dixit of Mr. So-and-So. American statesmen can . survive as public men, charges of fraud, peculation, untruth, because these are so frequently made without foun dation that they cease to be really believed, while the designs of wolves are forwarded by people getting used to, and caring nothing for, th e cons t an t a l arm of " Wolf, Wolf," where often there is no wolf. The difference between the power of the American press and that of the English press on this point is marked. No British statesman could remain under a direct charge by any respectable jour nal involving his honour, being compelled either to show its falsehood or to retire from public life , as well as from society, while a journal which ma liciously and untruthfully published such an accu sation would not merely be made an example of iu Court for libel, but would lose its position among its contemporaries, and its circulation among the public. No men are more interested than Editors in the punishment, of an editor who permits his journal to be made the vehicle of malicious slan ders, for the direct tendency is to injure the press, and therefore the fraternity in public estimation. This difference of giving prominence to the writer on the one side, or reducing him to a cypher on the other, which all must allow, who know the press of both countries, is due to the anonymous charac ter of English journalism. It has this among its many good effects, the editor not being himself per sonally attacked is not provoked into doing what all must consider a dastardly act, that of using the powerful weapon he happens to have in his . hand against an unarmed antagonist. There` is a sense of fair play implanted in human na ture which checks even the inclination to do so, • and leads other editors when the tendency towards, it in a brother is seen, effectually to suppress him. When the editor's name is more prominent than the name of the journal, those whose opinions, as well as whose conduct it attacks, are only too happy to get hold of a real, erring, sinful, mortal in the in dividual, putting aside the myth which shrouds him in the organ when they are better able to attack on equal terms, just as if the Pope were stripped of the sacred character whichclothes him with infallibility, and he stood in the arena with plain John Smith and Joe Brown. We do not mean to do his Holi ness the injustice of comparing him with a common editor; we only avail ourselves of the highest illus tration of what a man gains by being invested with the impalpable, and can speak like an oracle from behind a screen, the voice only being heard. School boys and young men emerging from colleges start in life with a dash of common conviction in their minds that what is in print is true, as everything they have been learning was from print. It ought not to be the task a journalist gives himself to divest them with the utmost speed of any such impression, nor should the latter strive to deprive the former of the idea that there is dignity in letters ; yet, that is what many do, attacking each other personally, an swering an argument by a lampoon on the cut of an editor's coat, or the uncouthness of his appearance. Professor Goldwin Smith, who by the way denies that he ever said as reported by telegraph " that the American press was not universally celebrated for its intelligence," does not deny that he retorted its censures on him by alluding to t he undignified tn ots a o n f e tt o r u ti r e s l e e in f a a n o l t e l a re d r i npga p j e o r ur b n y al w , r r ti h n i g ch on re t t red bo its Editor. The following is the commencement of a leading article in the Mobile Tribune, which is con tinued in the same strain to prove its title :—" A Ch r onic Liar.—The editor of the New York Tribune has so long and persistently proclaimed himself as an h on est man that it is fair to presume he rea l ly thinks he is." Mr Ilugh Hastings has written in a manner that would never be tolerated in Eng land about Mr. Greeley, but so much is it the cus tom in America that people only laugh. Whatever is published in a great journal is discussed as the opi nion of its editor, and whenever he travels his name always appears in connection with his paper. Thus the tendency is fostered towards personalities and its attendant evils, which certainly outweigh what ever good may be in the system. Whether this is due to the curiosity of the people or to the vanity of the individuals, or whether the citizens have been educated into relishing these personal details about men they know nothing of individually, we do not pretend to say, but we do say that were it not for this practice, it would be no exaggeration to award to the press of New York, the palm of excellence.
