Who PaysS

If there should be a disagreement between
the president of savings bank or trust COM
pany and its auditor, sllting in the retirement
from the company of the latter, and the pres-
dent should then publicly charge him with hay
ing been removed for INSTRUMENTATION ana IN
competency, and he should publicly allege in
his defence that the sole cause of the Presl-
dents dissatisfaction with him was his refusal
as auditor to certify the correctness OF accounts
which he knew to have been tdtstfed by the
President, and the SAID President should then
without any explicit denial of this, launch up
on the Press an overwhelming amount OF al
UertiSing patronage, ingeniously contrved to
lead the public mind away from the true issue,
who ought to pay for this advertising-the COM
pany or the President himself?
This question is respectfully submitted to the
policy holders of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York. hundreds of whom are
doubtless readers of the Advertiser. 1t is of
some material interest to them. In reply to
the card Of SHEPHERD Romans, lately printed
IN the Advertiser, stating rather pungenty why
MIR. WINSTON, then President, Cished to get rid
Of ram. very costly advertisement is going
through the leading newspapers from one end
OF the country to the other, and the nearest it
comes to answering Romans, damning. accusa-
ton against the ,President-not against the
company-is this: "Mr. Romans was rel owed
from his position in this company for sufficient
cause, by the unanimous action of its board OF
trustees"
For anything that appears in this volumlD-
GUS and irrelevant advertisement the thirty six
trustees, whose names are appended to it may
have unanimously removed Mr.. Homans-if
they ever did nything of the sort-just because
he refused to audit false accounts. The money
is thrown away, even as a defense of Winston;
and the company has not been attacked. How
long are the policy-holders going to allow Win
ston to fight his battles with their money, es-
pecially when he has nothing better than the
Chinese weapons of fog and fragrance to oppose
to MIME balls?

prerogatves of this great Office to bride men to
serve his personal ambitions; still less is he
capable of using influences or power placed in
his hands for great public ends to crafty bis
hatreds or revenges He will not expect to f1nd
among his supporters men who are either to be

net be travelling up and dowr the State setting
forth his own pretensons. He will not be found
enriching himself by means of his employment
in the public service. If any portion OF this

will not seek to gain favor by offering himself as

not seek to tempt the people to escape hardshps
