Management of Life Insurance
OOMlp0 lies.

During the general depression which
has been universal in ali classes of busi.
ness institutions, the business OF Lie
Insurance has suffered less than any
other. The total cash assets OF the COM
panies doing business and in q prosper.
GUS and solvent condition ia greater
than the total cash assets OF all the com.
panles three years ago, which can not
be said OF any other class Of business
There have been some losses from de.
probation in values, bad management
ETC., resulting in failures, but NOT ex.
ceeding one per cent OF the total assets,
and the profits of the general business
during few months only equals this
sum.
But while the general business has
been thus managed very successfully
there have been some companies whose
management has largely excelled oth.
ers, especially in economy OF manage
ment and careful selection ot risks. The
subject of Life Insurance has become
80 important to the general public thai
we have carefully prepared the follow

THE debate in the Senate on the army
bill was not very wordy, but it threw
much light on the question involved.
Mr.. Beck, on the Democratic side, and
Mr.. Window on the Republican side,
showed that, although divided in opin-
ion on the pending amendments, they
have a knowledge of the numerical
strength and general condition of the
army. Mr.. Beck said that the whole or
ganization of the army borders on the
ridiculous. 1t is badly constituted and
badly handled, and made discredit to
the country, when it should be, as it was
once, its pride. Itis confessed that there
are many companies on the roster that
really have more officers than men, for
the law provides that each company
shall have fifteen non>commissioned of
ficers alone, while the number Of privates
in some does not exceed ten. No one
can look into the matter at all without
being impressed with other equally abb
surd features of the present organization.
A great many of the incongruities and
absurdities thus revealed, and many
more that would come to light upon
thorough investigation, are due to bungN
ling and emergency legislation such as
is now going on. The thing cannot be
done at the extra session, but no better
work can claim the attention Of Congress
than the overhauling of the whole busi-
ness by competent committees.

A LATE resolution in the House of Rep
resentatives, called upon the Secretary of
the Treasury for information in detail Of
the actual amount of gold coin and gold
bullion in the Treasury, the amount of
all outstanding obligations payable in
gold on demand, and the actual amount
of gold owned by the Government, and
available for the resumption of specie
payments after deducting all outstand-
ing gold obligations payable upon de-
mand. The Secretary of the Treasury
has prepared an answer to this resolu'
ton, which shows that after deducting
all outstanding obligations payable in
gold on demand, there was in the Treas
ury, available for resumption purposes,
on Nov. 9TH, the date of the House reso.
luton, nearly $6O,OOOOOO in gold coin.
In July, 1876, similar resolution was
adopted by the House, in reply to which
the Secretary made report, dated July
20, 1876, showing that, after deducting
all outstanding gold obligations, there
was in gold coin an excess of ST., 1873 2O2.
This shows an increase of forty-two and
one-half million dollars in gold coin,
which is an average monthly increase for
the past sixteen months of 1886 l25O.
In July, 1875, the total coin balance was
less than sixty.two millions, while on
Nov. lst last it was one hundred and
thirty-one millions, or double the amount
held sixteen months ago.

WENDELL PHILLIPS ON TIE MAS.
SACHUSET7S ELECTION

Wendell Phillips lectured in Philadel.
phia on the 9Th inst, on "Charles Sum.
ner," in which he took occasion to speak
of the Massachusetts election as follows;
"The victory in Massachusetts was due
to dissensions in the Democratic ranks
That party, however divided, always be-
came reunited just before election day
until the last instance, when, for the first
time since Satan left heaven, this party
carried their quarrel into the day of bat
tie. The Democratic Mayor of Boston
and the Democratic candidate for Cover.
nor quarreled, and thus saved the Re-
publican party an ignominious defeat.
That's what did it, and that only; for
enough Republicans stayed at home TO
have defeated Rice against any ordinary
Democrat. Why did they stayP They
had no interest in the election, and Rice
is a very unpopular man. His success
was an utter surprise to the Republicans
themselves"

"WHY have we not gold 2" is a question
propOunded by the Cadiz Republican.
Any people content with theshsdow win
not retain the substance, any more than
the dog when he grabbed for the piece
of meat he thought be saw in the water,
thereby losing the piece he had. Paper
money promises to pay, drive the prec-
ious metals from circulation always
have and always will. Paper money is
only evidence of Indebtedness, and debts
abroad can not be paid by paper promi-
ses.- The specie must go to liquidate
those. Such is history. Irredeemable
paper money necessarily depreciates,
and gold being the more valuable, is
sought, and disappears from circulation.
This is the experience Of all nations that
have resorted to the perilous use of pa
per money. na

"CoBBLINa the fnSnOes" Is title used
in an exchange. and certainly quite ex-
pIlcit, for it ia a constant cobbling on the
part of Congress since the Republican
party came into power ipI 1851 1PheiFI
fhapeial policy Of inhAtioh .of tbe cur
rency, and restriction Of tradeB by so.call'
ed protective laws, was Of the most ruin
bus character; and we are now suffering
the consequences; and the end is not
yet, From these came that disturbance
Of values and pilihg up Of debt from
which the country now suffers. Contrac'
ton, of course, was bound to come, for
II is only the pendulum returningi but
tbe legislation again of the party in pow
er has aggravated the trouble, and
brought prostration and stagnaIion to all
business affairs,
The Republican party leaders now con-
Gemn imitation, but justify their imitation
policy Of fifteen years ago, by saying the
war compelled it. Men invariably find
some excuse for their own misdeeds and
politicians are no exception.
The Republican party sowed the wind,
and the country have been and are reap
ing the whirlwind; and the guilty party
leaders, Judging by the late elections, are
getting their deserts, ...
If ever land had been afflicted with
the ruinous results of paper money it is
this. Values of all kinds, property, bu-
siness and labor, are from time to time
interfered with and unsettled. Prior to
the Republican party assuming power
in 1861, the Democracy had run the Cen
eral Government in compliance with
the Constitution, having, nothing to do
with paper money, and haviuga revenue
tariff as low as possible, and on the qd
Ualo en- principle, No "cobbling of the
finances" was attempted. We must get
back to the plain requirements of justice
and the Constitution as soon as possible.
This interference with values, by laws
passed to favor certain interests, must be
abandoned and remain abandoned in
peace and war. We acknowledge no
such nonsense that correct and constitu-
tional legislation must be abandoned
during a period of war.

Legislature, has this to say concerning
the next legislature
The next will be the most laborious
session that has been held for years. The
State has expended thousands of dollars
to secure the CodifCation of its laws. The
labor has been performed, but before any
benefit can be derived from the work of
the CodifyinP Commission its reports
must be enacted into laws, That is, all
the lawsof the State, worthy of being re.
tained on our statute books, must be re-
enacted and the old ones repealed, in-
stead of saying "repeal the registration
law, pass the Appropriation Bill then go
home," it is our duty to acquaint the
members elect with the task before them
that they may satisfactorily and speed
lily dispose of it. This done, according
to the plan of the Commission, our laws
will no longer be an aimless, methodless
conglomeration, with no more system

CONGRESSMAN Foster, Of Ohio, the 9TH
er day IN Congress, lamented sadly over
the sufferings Of the officers of the army
since July. He said: h,l>tf4l..
"We do not have the heart, Mr.. Chair
man, to do this, (make 'factious opposi-
tion, y when we know the officers of the
army up to this date have lost perhaps
100000 interest by the delay and care
lessness of this House,. For three weeks
they have lost more than $50O0O' Of in
terest, and are now losing $4,000 day"
The suffering people-the starving Ia
borers-the men who keep the wheels of
industry going+who pay, the taxes that
make up the millions to keep up our
army, the most expensive in the world,
according to its size, these people draw
no tears from Congressman Foster,
Mr.. Fosterwas one of the active spir-
its in the Electoral Conspiracy that Coun-
ted in Hayes by fraud. Mr. Congee, of
Michigan, coolly proposed to pay the Of
fiCers of the army interest on their
back pay. The pertinent question was
why did not the President call Con-
gress together last spriDgP Why did he
delay the session till October? 1t is
claimed one object was to gain time for
his Southern policy, that Republican
members might notinteriere, to keep the
army at maximum point, and to give
favored contractors and jobbers an op-
portunily to furnish supplies for six
months without authority oflaw.

AN EARTHQUAKE IN THE WEST

Iowa CITY, Nov. I5.-At 1890 P. M.
to-day severe earthquake shocks were
felt here.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia. Nov. I5.--A
number of quick, successive earthquake
shocks were felt here to>day about 1919
o'clock, with movement apparently
east to west, and lasted about two min.
utes. No damage resulted, although for
a time the destruction of some high
brick buildings was threatened. At'the
High School there was a slight panic.
Dispatches from western Iowa say no
serious damage resulted, although the
shock has been generally felt.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. I5.--Three dis
tinct earthquake shocks. lasting about
ten seconds, were plainly perceptible
here twenty minutes before noon to-day,
especially in the upper stories of brick
and stone buildings. In Columbus bells
in public buildings sounded. In North
Platte cases in printing Offices were over
turned. The weather was very unpleas~
