AT u recent Woman's Suffrage
meeting in England, Miss Frances
Power Cobbe was one of the speak
ers, and through her remarks there
ran q fine vein Of sarcasm, of which
the following is specimen: Refer
ring to the women's privileges, about
which men are continually prating,
she SAID that the two most inestim-
able privileges recently cited IN her
hearing were, that maid servants were
not taxed like footmen and grooms,
and that in trials for breach of prom
Use, women obtained iniqmtously ia
yorable verdlcts. This latter priviv
lege Miss Cobbe was compelled to
admit was real. Masculine judges
and jurors are cold and insensible
when woman loses her property,
her limbs, or even her life, but when
she loses a "man," their sympathy
and sense of Indignation at her
wrong, is to the last degree affecting
and instructive.

ITS HISTORY AND PRALSWORTHY
MANA GEMENT.

Life insurance was first practiced
in England about one hundred and
eighty years ago, but tables by which
annuities were granted are known to
have been in existence in the time Of
Pliny and Plato. 1t has been almost
wholly during the past thirty years
that life assurance has come into
general adoption in this country, and
during the flush times succeeding
the war the business had assumed
such vast proportions, that 1t is now
second only to banking in the mag.
nitude of the interests involved, and
the vast sums controlled by the com.
panies,
Life insurance is not a fit subject
for speculation, and it cannot be an
Investment, in the financial applica-
ton of the term. 1t can pay the in
surer on one condition, and that con-
dition is death. Its real advantages
are to be reaped by others, and at a
distant day.
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1876-06-09

than they would have to pay in case
OF his own death, or, in other words,
he continues to pay on the basis of
1880 members, though there may be
any number of members in the Asso-
citation, and his payment in the future
will be as much less than one dollar
as the membership is greater than
1880. TO illustrate:-if there are
5000 members he will pay 25 cents
at each death, but B would continue
to pay SO cents and G $1.OO on the
death of any $4,000 policy holder,
after which time BIS and C's assess
ment will decrease in the same pro-
portion as AS. To illustrate:-if
there are 10000 members A would
pay ST cents instead of one dollar, B
would pay u! cents and G would pay
rs cents instead of one dollar. In
this way, B would continue to pay
twice as much as A, and G would pay
four times as much, which is right,
because B is insured for double the
amount of A, and c is insured for four
times AS amount.
BUT ONCE ONLY.
Should there be no deaths, there
will he no losses, and consequently
no assessments, and by this plan the
poorest man is enabled to provide
for his family, and secure them from
want or dependence.
WHAT is THE ACTUAL COST?
Insurance at actual cost can only
be secured by each policy holder
paying his exact proportion of losses
as they occur.
INSURE IN THE CENTENNIAL"
lst.-Because it is safe.
2nd.-Because it is cheap.
3d.-Because it costs only from
one-thlrd to one-fifth what it would
cost in most of the old line compa-
mics.
4th.-Because it is an Iowa insti-
tuition, and managed by we'll known
and reliable men.
5th.-Because 1t is the duty of all
to provide tor those dependent upon
them.
6th.-Because the expense of in
is divided up into small
amounts, SO that the poorest can
meet the payments.
7th.-Because it practices on the
principle of careful selection Of risks,
and economical management.
The election of officers takes place
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in January Of each year.
All parties holding policies are en-
titled to vote for officers.

THE PLAN.

THE MUTUAL CONTRIBUTION PLAN
of insurance at actual cost. 1t is
similar in its method to the industri-

TIE West Union Gazette dis
cussing the probabilities of the Con:
gressional situation in this district,
arrives at the following conclusions:
cit is more than probable that the
relative strength Of the two parties
last year is shown in the vote for
Superintendent, which makes the
majority Republican. Then the in.
crease of the Democratic vote in Du-
buque last year of nearly 500 over
the vote of 1874 may reasonably be
attributed TO the local strife, in which
the general Issue was deemed sub
servicnt to home questions. If this
be true it is not likely that Dubuque
county will do worse this year than
it did four year ago, when its MAORI
ty for Greeley was l046, and for
Stoneman 1919. But even with a
majority of 1900 against us there,
there is no occasion to fear the re-
suit. AS shown above, the district
went Republican last year by slight
majority, and this year will add hun
dreds of votes to the Republican tick
ct in every county. The only con-
t!ngency being the nomination of
men who are in every sense SO quail
fed for the respective offices as to
create such an enthusiasm as the
Uapara1 couSa merits -

LIE MARS, June 5th, 1876.
Ed. BULLETIN:-Le Mars is live,

at present furnishes good water
power, but occasionally it gets too
low for milling purposes. One -four

steam. do not know the exact d.
mansions of this new mill, but it is a
very large one.

There are three churches in the
town. The Catholic church yester-
day was full, and over hundred
failed to get in. This was not the
case at the church I attended, as it
had been previously announced that
a collection would be taken for the
benefit, I think, of the Heather

Eight hundred carloads of wheat
were shipped from this place last
year, and it is expected that at least
twice as much will be sent this year.
The amount of coal and lumber
used here is enormous. Mr.. VIM.

takes the lead in the coal trade.
The land surrounding the town
is of the best quality, it can be
bought within eight or nine miles of
here for six or seven dollars an acre,
within four OF five miles it is worth
from ten to twenty. Improved farms
are much higher. All the land be.

BEN BUTLER thinks Tilden will be
nominated because he has money, and
Ben scouts the idea that campaign
can be conducted without much
money. He says Tilden has several
millions and no family, and asks why
shouldn't he spend them for himself
No western candidate is so situated,
and Tilden's friends will say" Nomi-
nate our man, and we will look after
the expenses Of the campaign; refuse
and we will button our pockets. -
Ben thinks that will fix 'em.
Apropos to the subject of Tilden
and his money, the Fort Dodge
Times, a Democratic paper, has evil
dence that Tilden has already began
to deal out those superfuous millions.
1t has received proposition from a
New York advertising firm to insert,
as reading matter, number of no.
tees favorable to Mr.. Tllden's nomi-
nation, for which liberal compensa-
ton is offered. The Times says that
Mr.. Tilden, who is put forward as the
best specimen of the Democratic re-
former, will disburse about half a
million in this way.

Hon. JAS. F. Wilson, who was
chairman of the late Republican
State Convention, writes to the State
Register to settle the question wheth-
CT the Convention did or did not in
struct the delegates to Cincinnati to
vote as a unit. Mr.. Wilson says
that the resolution to that effect was
laid on the table, and that the dele
gates are not so instructed. AS Mr..
Wilson is himself delegate, and
understood to have Conkling procliv-

to acquiesce in this decision.

The Inter- Ocean, by its bitter war
fare upon Secretary Bnstow, is not
doing itself any service or confirm
ing the good opinion or confidence
that fair-minded and candid men may
have heretofore entertained toward
t, it. The frantic, extravagant and We
hement character of its assaults upon
) the Secretary preclude all idea that
they are inspired by any honest or
sincere impulse. They arc clearly
attributable to pure malice and re-
Z venge, and the motive for this re-
syenge is not hard to find. Some
time since, Secretary Bristow deem
ed it proper for the good of the SER
vice to remove one of the editorial
staff of the Inter- Ocean from a lucra-
tive position in the Custom House at
Chicago. Since that event, the atti-
tudc of that paper toward the Secre-
tary has been that of the most intense
and INSCRIPTIONS hostility. Its bit
ter hatred seems to have obliteratcd
its Judgment and reason. 1t can find
nothing to applaud in Mr.. Bristow,
sand it's course in this regard fur
nishes its rivals the opportunity to
charge that it is in sympathy with
the whisky thieves, whom the Secre-
1s,y was pressing so hard. This is
not true, however. Its motive has
not even the dignity of partisanship.
z It is only mercenary and altogether
unworthy as it appears to disinterest-
ed observers. Its latest impulse is to
sneer at, and try to smirch the fair
fame Of Col. Bristow as soldier of
the Union, insinuating but not charg-
ing him with cowardice If not bril-
liant, the career of Mr.. Bristow as a
soldier was honorable and patriotic.
II needs no vindication at the hands
of anybody, and if the Inter- Ocean
from unworthy and trifling motives
can afford to defame him, he can af-
ford 10 look upon It's impotent malice
with composure. This is not written
IN the interest of Mr.. Bristow as a
candidate, for we cannot hope to in
auence that, but as protest against
shameless villification of faithful
public servant of pure and honorable
record, from a quarter in which we
better things.
