Insurance Indispensable to Business
Thrift.

The Chicago journals continue to urge
upon the local Board Of Underwriterl
there, as well as the municipal authorities
and all concerned, the proposition of The
National Board. Tho Tribune submits
the case thus:
There is not q man In Chicago who, or
block worth 100000, could raise $40.
600, II with the mortgages securing thai
sum he could not assign an insurance
policy as collateral security. In the last
instance, it is apparent that all building
loans are negotiated on insurance policies
Insurance is the foundation OF CONNER
cisl credit, as credit Is the basis Of our
whole commercial system. Take away
the insurance companies from Chi
csgo, and our merchants would
be compelled 10 buy in Eastern
markets for cash. Take away the insur-
ance companies and, despite all the wealth
we have here amassed in buildings, VIC
would not be able TO compete with Mil
waukee. Peoria and Dubuque, osay moth
ing Of st. Louis and Cincinnati. Having
no security to give but that which q con.
lagration might sweep out Of existence in
an hour. We could obtain no capital,
and, not being able TO obtain capital, our
fBir Chicago would be lett like ship In
the bed Of a river from which the waters
were drawn of. The proposi-
tion that Chicago should do its own insur.
ance is simply absurd. Chicago has not
the capital 10 do It; nor has London or
Paris capital enough 10 insure themselves.
The fire Of 1871 has said the last word on
the advantages of home insurance, viz

What 1t takes TO Make a Newspaper.

The Poughkeepsie Rd0le In an article
on "how mistakes happen in newspa.
pers," figures up the number of types
used In newspaper the size Of the Eagle
at 600, 000-i C., the actual bits of metal
arranged and re.arranged every day In
preparing newspaper Of that size for the
press. We suppose few people think oil
the printing trade as one Of the most ex-
act and particular oil all the handicralts,
but 1t Is. In making type, variations
that might be allowed in the finest
machinery would render tho type
useless. 1t Is very rarely that type
furnished by two seperate toundrles can
DO used together without great deal Of
trouble, though they try 10 make 1t after
the same standard. We read once in a
while Of wonderful piece Of cabinet

Of which has spent months, or even years

Four Money Making Rules OF Ro,hs-

Rothschild commonly ascribed his early
success, in great degree, to the follow
ing rules:
First-1 combined three profits; made
the Misunderstanding customer, and the
one bought Of my customer-that is,
supplied the manufacturer with raw ma
terials and dyes, on each Of which made
a good profit and took his manufactured
goods, which l sold at q profit, and thus
combined three profits.
Second-Make bargain at once. Be
an of.hOnd man.
Thitd-Never have anything to do with
an unlucky man or place. I have seen
many, clever men who had not shoes Ia
their ieet. ! never act with them; their
advice soundsveEy well, but fate Is against
them-Ihey cannot get on Themselves

Editors OF the IntcllIgenccr:
Owing 10 the brevlty O. my commune

The inhabitants seem to have surrender.

to say It was not down when VIC left, but,
taking Tor granted that 1t Is down now,
we have sort Of an eXultant feeling when

Our feelings arc in their lowest state Of dc.
