of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other As

found quite adequate TO provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and suffi-
cient 10 create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
. per cent per mt upon the amount
assured have been distributed among The
Members of the Society.
It's career, during a period of27 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required TO assure 500.

To the Editor Of the Press:
What does all this newspaper talk mean,
about the last election not deciding anything?
Down in this benighted region we have al.
ways had a notion that the vital principel OF
an election was decision! We may be wrong,
but we have always cherished an opinion that
the people were the ultimate referees in all
cases, and that their jud gment was final Now,
if an illegal election can be called by the prop
er authorities under our present laws land
certainly an imperative election must be lille
gal), we would like to know it. and have the
fault remedied. Please enlighten US ignorant
farmers upon this matter. We don't like to
leave our work iii planting tme and ride two
or OF three miles to vote, and return to be told
Shat our labor was useless, and that our vote
"oud make no difference either wayw
N.Y..
AhSlcer.-The bill to amend the T;nuor low
was passed by the last Legislature. A separa-
rate law ~ ascertain the viii of the people,"
PROVIDED Iof the recent election and declared
that ii the decision OF the people should be ad.
verse to the amendments then the anendatorv
act should be repealed. But LAWYERS COW NO
Legislature is competent to delegate its an
thority in this way. The people make consti-
tutions but choose a Legislature to make laws.
and the acts of the Legislature are either alb
solute and final or null The decisions of the
courts hitherto affirm this view of the case
quite uniformly. A negative majority on the
Sd instant then, would not have repealed the
amendatory act but would simply have ex-
pressed 1.-THE will of the people," in accord
ance with which the next Legislature would
have repealed it.
