itErirq from The chicago S7-ci1'or.)
In this DEPRESSION we have not forgot
ten what remained for us to say in re-
spect of the strong and excellent young
company which, as stated above, has
iuht entered upon business in the met
r0pOlitun city of the west under such
peculiarly favorable auspices. The Ma
tional Life is not by any means, only
slightly known in the west 1t has
already large business i'm several west
crn states, wherever, in fact, il has been
possible to establish good and effective
agencies Here, as in the east, where
the company is us well known as any
OF its competitors, regard has been had
Tor quality and prudence rather than
for mere volume of business. The COM
pany has thus been enabled to avoid
many of the cXtravaganccs which are
| too often the conditions of asuddcn and
rapid growth. The ratio of its reserved
assets to entire actual liabilities il larger
than that of some of the best known
and oldest companies. Its commissions
to agents do nOt appear to have been so
large or cNtravaGant as even ordinary
| economy would permit. Aud in other
! conditions, which are equally essential
| to uujuuhtCd sOundnc-s, we find that
| the National ranks high. The company
| has Wi ely adopted some of the most
! favorable features OF insurance, and in
! all it, pians we observe positive and
uumi-tukahle evidences of an intcntion
to extend to poiioy-hollcrs the utmost
! libcrJlity consistent with safety. The
company takes, evidently, Il broad and
catholic view of The RIGHTS of policy
holders, and accordingly gives the BEN
Gift OF a liberal uon-furlciture provision
t. all policies which have been in force
two years. Moreover all policies be-
come incoutcstahlc after five years, and
! dividends are declared and paid annu-
ally. There arc other special advanta-
acs in the proposals of this company,
which commend themselves highly to
tbc careful attention OF all who wish to
Insure their lives upon principles Of
perfect equity. Tho company rCfrains,
80 far aus we are able to judge, from
making amy cNtrlVaguut buster about
the absolute superiority of its terms and
methods OF insurance. 1t aims to gel
business without rcsorting to false pre-
teucc- and for this reason alone, were
there no other reason, deserves all the
patronage which we are sure that it Will
receive in Chicago Under the manage
mcnt of such highly respectable and eli
licicnt general agents rs MCsSrs Whit

independence ofthe Press.

AT this time in this locality, when the
press is bound to expose duplicity, as well
as serviity, and is censured by individu~
ais for exposing their Inconsistencies, their
selfshness, and above all lack of any
permanent opinion of their own we
caunot do better than copy the following,
from letter written by Samuel Bowles,
Eeq., editor of the Springfield Repub-
hcan, to Governor Bullock and Others,
while declining an invitation to dinner:
The corruptions in politics, and the
corruptions in business affairs have become
offensive ard startling within the last few
years, and the moral sense of the commuS
nifty seems at times to have become blunt
ed by the successful display and repetition
of practices that violate every principal,
fair dealing and integrity, and put the
control of Government, and the value
of many kinds of property at the mer-
cy of political adventures, and ruthless
stock gamblers. The Press really seems
to be the best if not the only instrument
with which honest men can fight these
enemies of order and integrity in govern
ment and security in property. know
it is often crude in its reports and wan
ton and careless in its comments; these
evils must and will be corrected with its
growth, and compared with its future,
American journalism is now but in lis fees
BILE infancy but we have mere to fear at
present from its good nature, from its
subserviency, from its Indifference, from
its fear to encounter prosecutions and loss
of patronage by the expouse Of the wrong
and the exposition of the right.
A courageous independence and integ
rity of purpose, coupled with II fearless
expression Of truth as to all public indi-
viduals, corporations aud parties, are the
features in its character to be most en-.
couraged now. We can be patient with
crudeness, even with degree of reckless
ness, if we can have these other and
necessary qualities in vigorous exercise,
The press of to-day should be what Low"
ell Russell describes it, "a dreadful mas
tiff with scent so keen for sheep in
wolves clothing and for certain other
animals in lions skins; rather than the
crouching spaniel, begging the food from
every quarter, licking the hand that dis
graces it, and only mildly protesting
against outrages upon itself and the com
munity it is set to guard
Ny own observation is that the press
rarely does injustice to thoroughly hon.
est man or cause. 1t may be deceived
with regard to private individual, and
misrepresent him Tor time; but with
reference to public men and measures, Its
knowledge is more intimate and complete
than that of any other agency possibly
can be; and know that it witholds nm
Justly to the public one hundred times
where it speaks wrongly once Of the indi'
vidual. Certainly nine out OF ten OF al
libel suits against the press are brought
by adventures and spectators and sccnn'
drels whose contrivances to rob the pub
lie have been exposed.
