Tho arithmetic Of life-insurance has always
secmsd 80 complicated, and the promises Of
tho companies 80 simple and satisfying, that
most people hare taken their insurance on
trust, and paid without q question the pro-
n1iuma they wore nsked for. But there is a
different spirit abroad now, aad p5rsons who
aro putting their money into insurance CON-
panies instead OF savings banks are begin
ming to ask why they, who arc insured, cau-
not understand the transaction as we'll as
thoae who insure. Tho truth Is that insur-
anco men have muddied their waters, Like tho
cutt1e-dsh, aud for about The samo
reason. Tho mystory Of ingnrnncc
mathematics Is m artificial one. The
Hon. Et1zun Wnour begins In his third
lettss, printed on tho sirth page, to explain
how tho insurance companies calculate their
risks and compute the premiums for policy
holders. Mr. WR1our holds tlo angular but
not unreasonable opinion TINT both parties

It, and 1t our renders will follow his lucid
explanation they viii BOON be ablo to nego.

WHAT WILL THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
DOT

Everybody who has observed the courao
Of political events in this country for tho
mast four yoars, even suporacially, will ad-
init that tue strength shown by the Demo-
cratic party at the last Presidential election
consisted In the recruits that had been nude
among tho Republicans during tho last term
Of President GnAur'a Administration. For
twelve years tho Deinocratio party had been
hopelessly In the minority. In eomo States
It had all but abandoned It's party orgauiza-
ton. The acceptance Of tho nomination Of
Horace GnEELzy, who had always boen
radical Republican, was q powerful con.
fession Of it's he1plessness and hopelessnoes
at that time. But from tho frat ycar of
President dnAHr's second torn, the Demo-
Gratis began to count largo acccssious from
tie Republican ranks. Many Of tho Re-
publicaus who had supported GnKE1EY In
their personal opposition to GnAxT felt con-
strained to act with tho Democrats there
after because the Democrats had acted with
them. But many more Republicans who
had refused to oppose QnAsr when ho was
rononinated for second term. and who
woro disposed to give him and
those surrounding him further trial,
subsequently becamo alionatcd from
tho Administration by reason Of It's
many orrora. The Democratic party had an
excellent opportunity for appealing to The
people. It was felt Tint thero was neces-
sity for reform; tito Democrats raised tho
Reform standard. A reduction Of the public
expenditures was universally demanded tho
