READ WHAT OTHERS SAY OF us.

From the Spectator of New York City we ex-
tract as follows " The New England Mutual stands
forth as a fitting type of what company should be
in regard its method Of business Seeking rather to
establish reputation for stability and soundness,
than present novel and promising but untried and
unapproved features in underwriting; conducting all
the companys affairs with the strctest economy and
adopting only those proved by experience to
be the wises the directors of the company have
ceeded in establishing for it reputation for reliability
second TO other similar organization in the country
Yet great is the degree of caution manifested in
the adoption of every new measure, the company is
conducted in a manner fully in unison with the pro-
gressive spirit of the age. AS regards its dealings
with policy holders, few mpanies are liberal
and honest"
" The business of the New England Mutual is con-
Quoted in the most economical and able manner; its
terms liberal and just; its success has been uni
form and extended and its perfect reliability safety
the natural consequences attendant upon the posses
sion of such features and which should be the great
desideratum with insurance company,
Instance eresiied."

between the colonies and California, Apia pre-
sents an excellent port Of call, possessing every
advantage, and being entirely free from hidden
dangers. The harbor Of Apia is safe and com
modious for any class Of vessel. with good hold

the mountain ranges precipitous, consisting Of
extinct craters and their connecting ridges. the
highest point about 5000 feet. Immediately op-
posite the entrance Of the harbor on the face Of

Boston As BEER DRrSKING CITY.-A Boston

1t is amusing to get among squad Of soldiers
one sometimes finds them in the hospitals, and
hear the difference and often confusion in their
language. Many cannot understand each other
at all, especially of those living in widely sePa-
rated rural districts. The people Of the cities
and the educated classes speak the same language
everywhere, and yet even among these No

so on, each thinking that he speaks the correct

senator WOrriU's Speech IONiHSt
san DOHtngO.

After the reading of the San Domingo
message from the President, last week on
Wednesday, there was quite an exciting
scene i'll the Senate, on the attempt of
Senator Morrill, of this state t. make n
speech against annexation. Conkling of
New York, Stewart of Nevada, Trum
bull of Illinois, all oil. ccted, AMI twice did
the friends Of annexation attempt to all
journ the senate, but without avail. AZ
ter some debate, Mr.. Summon took the
floor and said:
''Wcrc the Senate to declare that the
matter shall not be discussed, it would
stultify itself and fly in the face of lis re
corded history, Every page of the jour
nal would rise up against it. This re-
port, which to Il certain extent is unila
teral, should not be allowed to 90 before
the country without the reply of the Sen
ator from Vermont.
Mr.. Morril. said if any one cxpcctcG
him TO attack the President, he woult
be very much mistaken. He sought tc
submit his remarks for no such purpose
but from a sense of dirty in relation tC
the question.
After considerable more skirmishinn
the Senate gave lis consent. The spaecl
is blow to annexation on its merits anl
yet complimentary to Gen. Grant il
most parts; and Mr. Morrill, states tn,
position of many republicans beside:
himself, when he says:
twill not he pretended that there ha:
been any enlightened public judgment il
favor OF the annexation of San Domingo

We find the ioilowin" article about
the situation of ait,lrs III France, in a
late number of the Sprin. liald Hp"bhieta.
1t explains some things which mus. lie
more or less Of Il mulllc in the minds of
most American readers:
We presume most Americans have hut
an indislinCt notion OF the cause of the
quarrel which is now racing about Paris
with such bloody results nor is it easy.
at this distance, 10 determine exactly the
motives which have influenced the Paris
ianS ON one side ami the Versailles roy
crnmcnt on the other, to settle their dis
putc so suddenly by regular war But
a few explanations may make the present
and any future complication more intel
licib!c than it now Is; and the first duty
is to explain why the insurgents who
now control Paris are called ':commun-
lists" The term has nothing 10 do with
any opinions they may hold about the
division Of property, but merely signifies
these who have advocated the Govern
ment OF Paris by commune" And
what is CommInc, in this sense
What we call wards or districts are. in
the French cities, called ''communcS, -
and the representatives of these districts
in the municipal government are called
collectively the Council Of the COM
muncs," OF, for short, the commune.
The scommon council in American cit
les is the same thing, except that here
we have carried our division OF all leais.
lativc work between two houses to such
an extent that every city council has two
branches. In France there is but one,
and i'll cities where the ''communc' is
elected, lis power is the same us that OF
the alderman and common council here.
Now it must be- rcmcml cred that the
liourbon7 were very chary OF swing
political privileges to the cities, and

The FoRCING PROGRESSIVE are
clad to notice a reaction against the ten
dcncy of late of ''cramming'' the chill
dren in the pnblic schools. We trust
the time is not far distant when Il child
will not lie considered an idiot if he has
not mastered history, geography and
mathematics, philosophy, chemistry and
two or three dead languages, by the
time lie Is twelve or thirteen years old.
The stunted beings that 20 about our
streets with hi. heads on little bodies,
are living examples Of what this cram
ming process is doing for the coming gen

This matter is receiving Il god deal
of attention at the present time in MasSa-
rhuSettS, and numerous interesting facts
were hrOu hit out al the school commit
tees hearing, not long since, in the State
house ut Boston. The particular ques-
ton under discussion was that II giving
the boys in the Latin school three Satur-
days a month as holidays. The teach
ers testified that the boys tasks compel

of school, besides the 6 or hours in
school. 1t was cOntcndcd that this dis
ciplinc was no more severe than that Of
the best schools of Europe, bat President
Coolidge of the Senate denounced it and
declared that il was time 10 form an
eight hour party for the boys, rather
than the mechanics. Much testimony
showing the bad effects of examining was
introduced, and Curtis Guild Of the Com
merclal Bulletin characterized the Latin
school as dyspepsia factory, Willie cx-

TIE RESULT IN NEw IIAMrsuIEE.-
The New Hampshire election gave the
reckless party managers ut Washington
GOOD scare, and ;hus served y very
GOOD purpose; while i! may turn out at-
ter all, that the republicans will hold the
stale government, through the Le@i-la-
turr. Everything now depends ON the
action cI three or four members of the
House of Representatives there who were
elected by democratic votes, bat are not
themselves democrats. Before the Con-
nccticut election it was thought that
these men would vote with the dem !
cratS and 1--WE the state To that party.
They will eject by their vote the cover
nor, thc fifth councillor, who holds tn"
balance Of power, the senator who, IL Il
republican, will liz the Senate, and the
rest of the state officers. The democrats
begin TO take alarm and to wish they
had not 50 loudly proclaimed the radical
changes they meant to make III Tie state
