At the request of the President and BoaId of Di-
rectors Of the tuickcrhocker Life Insurance Com
rany, certify thai the mode of computing present
value Of the Policies employed by the Secretary of
the Company is scientifically correct, and in ac-
cordance with the prescriptions Of the charter 1
also certify, that have compared the list OF io-
cics furnished me by the President as on the hooks
Of the Company with valuation tables sufficiently to
test the accuracy of the rcslts given by the Secre
ttIy, and find the values stated within to he -
merically correct That is to say, the present VAL
OF the future ris of the Office on all outstanding
policies, the difference between the present value
of future premiums TO be paid on them is Si39G7 49,
The total value of policies, the holders of which
are entitled to dividends, is S2a, ,227 O2.
And if the surplus is correctly stated at 81 22 H.
the difference betwee9 this and the present vac o
the future risk of the Company existing policies
after deductng 10 per cent Of it for the relief fund
is the proper amount for dividend towit sd $40 81
The true principle Of dividsBd is IL assign to each
policy holder WHO has insured the mutual plan
share PrOportioned 10 the present vanc II his poll
cy which is the true value of his interest as a stock
holder of the Company This share amounts to 10
per cent Of the present value of the policy.

The rapid sale of the New York Betting to cur

POLITICAL.

JOHs ID. DEFREEs, the veteran editor and poll.
tcisr, ltrg iruert ally connected with the metropoi
tan pYess Of ILoisna, was candidate for Congress.
before the Rspub ican Conven.ol OF his the With
District, snd large msjoity Of the Delegates were
instructed to support him. Ga coming together, how
ever they decided that it woud not be safe TO put him
% the course and nominated instead Albert G. Porter
youpg and popular lawyer, ALEC of Indianapolis Mr..
Portsr is man OF whom every one speaks well and
we srdeptly hope for his election but he must be sev
era yess older before his experience and knowledge Of
men can give him an influence in Congress equal to
that which Mr. Defrees would have exeted there.
We believe it is common mistake of nominating
conventions topreseu candidates whom nobody scs
to rather than those who having been involved in the
conflicts ard collisions Of quarter OF century, have
made bitter enemies but have acquired friends also,
who will make themselves felt in arduous contest.
But when second and thirdrate are chosen Pfesi
dent where frs-rate would be defeated, how can we
expect TO stsy the contsgOn Of such bad example.
Mr Defrees, we believe, is not now connected with
the Press but he earned distinction and competence as
a Wig and thep as a Republican Editor hence we
may rot reevsntly remark here that it seems TO us
urwiss in an Editor ever to allow his name to go be-
fore the public as a candidate for any party nomna
tion. Should one be nominated without any previous
canvass on bis behalf, not because he would like the
