The great Life Insurance Company of the
United States is the National, of which Jay
Cooke & Co. are the General Agents, Wash
ington. Compared with other big compa-
MES, it is destined soon to be the BIGGEST
company in the country. Why? Because
its growth and popularity, measured in its
infancy, warrants it. They have issued, in
five months, nearly 1000 policies, embra-
cling sum insured of upwards of 31S. .OOO,-
600, and the applications daily increasing.
Another reason is, that the plan of the Ma
tional is the correct one, the cheapest one,
the most liberal one; secures the largest
amount for the sum paid; no fictitious or
distant dividends declared to dazzle the i'm
ngination with its glittering promises, but
gives YOU cash dividend in hand before
you start. How? A young clerk, age
twenty. pays 1925 a year. and secures
policy in the National for 81, 900. In other
companies he pays $19.89-a difference of
Sc. "a, or cash dividend of over fifty-two
per cent This difference will enable him
to take out policy for $500 more; SO that,
should he die, his family secures 81, 500,
and pay no more premium than other com
panies charge for $1,000. This don't look
like, what is supposed by some to be the
case, that the company divide all the profits
among themselves. Why, the fact is, they
give you dividend before it is due-in ad
vance-and no contingent operation of ma
king profit is dependent upon it, Insure

Dispatch, on tolerable authority. chat Gene
raj Grant has intimated purpose to inter
fere in Cuban affairs-to recognize the
'srebels' there. This could hardly mean
less than proposition to get possession of
that island. If that is his disposition, it
argues o wise and comprehensive view of
the situation of this vast and growing na-
ton. m..., f,..
A foothold in the rich islands of the West
Indies is public necessity of this country.
Cuba is the most desirable and that most
ready for acquisition. She is troublesome
in her present status Yet she is teeming
with one of the most valuable staples, whose
regular production has grown TO be mat
ter OF overwhelming Importance. Then, as
military and naval post of great strategic
consequence. no opportunity to make a con-
Quest Of it should be lost.
These are, no doubt, the opinions of the
great body Of the people of the United
States. Upon the simple question of ac-
quiring one of these superb islands, there
could be scarcely division of public SEN
timent; and any measure which may in a
reasonable manner accomplish that object
would meet with universal approbation
The present is the opportunity. Delay may
cause it to be now lost, but, sooner or later
one Of the islands will be ours and it
should be the "Queen of the Antilles"

we think it contrary to the spirit of the
