Life Insurance.

There is an insurance company Incorporated
in this State, located in Milwaukee. entitled the
Mutual Life Insurance Company OF Wisconsin,
having for its object. in consideration of a
small sum annually paid. the pay ment of a
certain sum of money to the friends of the in
sured upon his death. Thousands of dollars are
sent out of our State annually as premiums upon
the insurance of lives This money is loaned at
low rates of interest in the eastern States, or la
England. and seldom. if returns. to benefit
us again. except upon the death of the insured
Two losses manifest in tins operation. The
first general one. Money. which is neces-
sary to carry on all beneficial enterprises and
develope the resources of the country, is made
scarce. Second, in Mutual Insurance Compa-
MES. each person becomes member, has a
voice In the election of directors. and is entitled
to his proportlona;e share of all the profits in
addition to the sum Insured, and these prof 5
are evidently much less where he funds are
loaned at SIX per cent than where they are loaned
at twelve per cent upon equally good securities.
None will pretend that more reliable Companies
can be formed east than west. nor that more re-
liable men can be found any where than in Wis
consin-and all know that by patronizing a
home company the funds kept at home in
vested in our own State, aud all receive a direct
benefit. The subject OF !lfc insaramce is becom-
ing general one among men who appreciate
the value OF money in settling an estate. and
providing for the wants of a family. The Ed
iaburqh Journal Life Insurance. says
"It,i, no more the moral duty of man 10 pro-
vide the daily bread of n family while he lives,
than it is to provide against their being left PEN
niless in the event of his death

The Homestead Bill.

The Homestead Bill passed the House of Rep
resentatives on the i2th by vote of Ia to o.
This measure has been demanded by the work
ing classes aud advocated by the Republican
party. and its passage through the lower House
of Congress, is a decided Republican triumph.
We have no idea 1t will pass the Senate, which
body is strongly Democratic. for while the lead
ers of that party ready at any moment to
vote for an appropriation of S3Jo.0o00JO for the
acquisition OF Cuba for the benefit of the South,
they Will never consent To bestow upon the poor
laborers of the North. homes without fall
equivalent for the title Of the soil. 1t is true
there many northern democrats favorable to
the grant of lands to actual settlers. SO there
many of the same party in favor of River and
Harbcr Improvements but while the interests
of the party are controlled by men of different
views. it is useless to look for appropriations for
such purposes.
