Mutual Life Assurance Society.


ESTABLISHED IN 1910.
INCORPORATED BY SPECIAL ACT 1851.
CHIEF OFFICE:
No. 20, HIGHS STREET, ~BRIDGETowN, BARBADOS
gaIHlS Society, which confines its bust
A ness exclusively to assuring the lives
OF persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and suf6-
ent to create large surpluses, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
2I6 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members Of the Society.
Its career, during o period of 80 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 exces
slve Premiums as are charged by every
other Company.
The following abridged Table shows the
Premiums required to assure 500, for the
whole term, upon a single life -
, 1874-02-11

Assurances OF every description on sim
gle lives are granted by the Society for
D vsum from 500 Dollars to 10, 900 Dollars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, Half
yearly, or Yearly, at the option Of the
Assured.
Assures wishing to discontinue the pay
ment Of their Premiums, may either dis
pose Of their Policies to the Society upon
equitable terms, or obtain q free Policy
for a reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members on the
Security of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof of such death has been re-
ceived by the Society.
Strict investigations into the position Of
the Society are made quinquenniaIIy, and
the surplus then existing is allotted to the
Members, after a sufficient sam has been
set aside for the purposes of the Reserve
Fund. The next investigation and D wi
sion of Profits, will take place on the 31st
December, 1875.

Our Canine Enemies.

Within the last few days number Of per-
sons have been bitten by dogs supposed to be
mad, and the muzzling question is naturally
forced on public attention by these unplcas-
ant incidents. In one case two women have
been bitten and in another woman and
three children before the offending animal
could be secured. These facts ought to be
sufficient to decide even SO great friend Of
the canine tribe as Mr.. Bergh to demand the
general muzzling of dogs allowed to roam
about the city. Before the heated term had
come the HERALD had insisted on the adoption
Of precautionary measures, but owing to the
want of energy shown by the city authorities
the order for the muzzling of all dogs has not
yet been issued. Before the order will be
issued and its provisions carried out other
victims may be added to the list. 1t would be
difficult to censure too severely the want of
foresight and the indifference to the safety of
the citizens which is shown in this neglect to
issue an ordinance which should act as o pre-
ventive to this evil. But the whims of pseudo
philanthropists exercise more influence on the
government of this city under its present
administration than do the interests Of the
general body of citizens. The question, how
ever, whether the convenience Of the dog or
the safety of the citizen is to be consulted
viii certainly be decided AGAINST the dog.

DISHONESTY IN OFFICE. cause of hon
est government has achieved gratifying sue
cess IN the conviction of three Commission
ers of Charity for frauds committed in Office.
After patient and dispassionate trial in the
Brooklyn courts a verdict has been given
which declares the charges of fraudulent pro-
cedure proved against the prisoners. 1t is
probable that these men are the victims of a
bad and vicious system, which aimed at setting
mp q code of morality for politicians distinct
from that which guided mems conduct in the
ordinary affairs OF life. The public conscience
has, however, revolted against this system of
dishonesty, and those who are found guilty Of
dishonesty in their dealings with the people
will undoubtedly be punished as other dis
honest people are. Once scheming politicians
are convinced that this resolution will be car
ried out firmly we shall hear Of less dishonesty
among public servants.

SCENE IN THE FRENCH ASSEMBLY. tide
pf party feeling continues to rise in the French
Assembly and, if we may Judge the temper of
The parties outside from that of their repre-
sentatives in the Legislative Assembly, we are
likely to see lively times before the question of
the dcfinitive form of government is finally
Bettled The Bonapartists are at their old
work of official corruption and tampering with
the elections, in which they have been aided by
the Bonapartist members Of the government.
This has caused an Interpolation by the Left,
and the consequent breach between the adj
herents of the dynasty of Sedan and the repub-
licans appears threatening. Gambetta, never
very measured in his denuncations, called
the members of this clique "wretches, and
something approaching free fight was very
nearly occurring in consequence. However,
having called each other some hard names, the
parties separated. The Lett declare their
resolution to force the dissolution Of the
Chamber. They say that thirty votes only
ass needed 10 carry this measure.

THE INDIAN FAMINE, according to the news
Of this morning, is greatly abated. The
measures adopted by the government have
been successful beyond expectation. Cases Of
destitution are now rare; and the persons
employed at the various relief stations are de-
creasing in consequence of the rains which
now prevail. It will be we'll for the govern
ment to adopt such measures as will prevent
such suffering in the future.

LABOR STRIKES Considerable excitement
exists in the uptown districts owing to the
employment of number Of Italians to replace
body of laborers who had struck for higher
wages. The strikers as usual lost their tenn
per as soon as they saw their places taken by
men willing to accept the wages they rejected
as insufficient. A couple of unimportant
skirmishes took place between the hostile par
ties, but fortunately the disturbances were
suppressed before they took the proportions of
q riot. The folly of laborers striking for
high wages at time when numbers OF
idle men willing to work for bread throng
the streets is only equalled by their folly in
attempting to prevent by violence men who
replaced them from working. With the
example of the stage drivers SO recently be-
fore them sensible men would have hesitated
risking struggle with capital when not
q ghost of chance of success existed; but the
one thing which the men who organize strikes
generally lack is common sense.

most INSCRIPTIONS man was certain to obtain
the controlling power. The head of such
department could not be thus demoralized
and inharmonious without affecting thu dis
cipline of the whole body. Appointments on
the force have been simply a matter of divi-
sion between the Commissioners. Smith
men, Gardner's men or Charlick's men have
become the guardians of the lives and prop
erty OF the citizens. What wonder that
policemen's clubs and revolvers are the terror
of peaceable citizens, and that police invesi-
cations are followed by Grand Jury indict-
ments !?
There is, doubtless, great deal of political
intrigue mixed up with the charges of cleo
ton frauds brought against the Commission
ers, and the time of the Grand Jury would
probably have been more proitably occupied
in inquiring into other alleged malpractices
in the department, including the street clean
ing frauds, in which the people are more
directly interested. Nevertheless, it would be
a good thing for the city if the present indict-
ments should prove the means of clearing ont
this ono of the many incongruous commissions

NEITHER BLACK Non WHITE WINS The
House of Representatives, by a considerable
majority, has just decided that neither Pinch
back, colored, nor Sheridan, white, is entitled
to seat in the House upon the evidence
presented. However, both parties are allowed
time by the resolution passed to take further
testimony. Pinchbacks case must have been
a very bad one or he would not have been
treated thus in the house of his radical
friends. II was unfortunate for Sheridan,
perhaps, that, besides being white man, q
rather Objectionable fact for a Southern poll
tician just now, he is democrat Hardly
any amount of evidence was likely to serve
him, as he was pitted against colored radical
claimant for the seat This is one of the
many complications growing out OF the dis
graceful federal interference with the Louisiana
elections.

One of the democrats in the House adj
ministered merited rebuke to some of
his party friends the other day. The leg
islative appropriation bill was before the
House, and several Of the democrats were
opposing it with technical and frivolous
objections, when Mr.. Niblack of Indiana,
also democrat, read them lesson. He
said the grounds for honorable opposition
were broad enough without descending to
attempts to reduce the wages of employ
ees few pennies a year, and in seeking
to save at the spiggot while losing at the
bung. He told them that most of his own
sect had been very eager to vote for the
'salary grab" law, and that few of them
had returned their back pay. He thought,
therefore, that it was indicative OF broader
craftsmanship not to wrangle over such
pretty technicalties for purely partisan
ends.

The funeral Of Admiral Joseph Lanmar

The funeral of Admiral Joseph Lanman, OF
the Uuited State Navy, whose death has been
announced, took place at Norwich, Conn.
Tuesday. He was born in that place July Is,
1911, entered the Navy at an early age, and
in 1925 received an appointment as midship-
man. By faithfulness to his duties he grad
ually rose from grade to grade, being at the
time of his death Rear Admiral. During
the rebellion he was most efficient officer,
commanding the Minnesota of the North
blockading squadron in 1906. At the time
of the attack on Fort Fisher he aeld the rank
of Commodore, and led the second line, so
distinguishing himself that Admiral Porter in
his dispatches recognized his bravery and
recommended him for promotion. His last
active service was rendered in commanding
the South Atlantic squadron on the coast of
Brazil. He was a brave officer, good cit
izen, and in his family an exemplary man.

The republicans of Massachusetts will

forms of their party organization in the

ground, the ground that the enemies OF

publican party of Massachusetts is not so
destitute Of good stuff for senators as to
be obliged to accept democrat, or a
