REMOTE The numerous failures that have
taken place among our life insurance compa-
mes are traceaba to the temptations to which
oneir oihcers were exposed by having at their
command funds which they could foresee no
danger OF being called to distribute to the own
ers Tor years and years to come. Many poor
fellow has pinched and screwed terribly hard to
keep his premiums up only to find at last that
his money has all melted away in extravagant
salaries, exorbitant commissions and worth
less investments. A government bond is rather
good sort of life insurance, and the holder of
it can be his own board of directors, which is
much safer plan than trusting somebody else.
1 mentioned recently the instance of promi-
nent citizen rated at two millions four wears
ago, whose fortune shriveled to nothing under
the crushing decline in the value of real estate
and who was compelled to make an assign.
ment, and was driven to insanity and sent to a
private asylum. Last week he managed to get
possession of knife with which he put an end
to his life. The man L referred to was Mr..
Joseph A. Williams an old resident, though
born 1 believe in Germany. His age was g.
He retired from business several years ago with
abundant wealth all of which he had ACQUIRED
by his own efforts. He made some large and
successful operations in real estate, but they
beguiled him into fresh ventures, which proved
too much for his resources. What with mort
cages, taxes and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS drain
and little income-he had to succumb at last,
and nervous prostration, mortified pride and the
strain upon his mental and physical faculties
dethroned reason.
The real estate collapse has made numerous
wrecks, but none SO sad as this. Many there
are who are yet struggling against the newt
able, hoping for some change that will save
them. The Gazette still offers its holocausts
with periodical regularity. The times have not
improved since the political tempest was stilled.
There is little prospect that they will, until we

ProcInmatiOns by Nichols and Packard.
New ORLEANS, March 26.-Gov. Nichols
has issued proclamation asking all the people
to promptly discharge their pecuniary obliga-
tions to the state that all Just claims to the
state may be promptly met He SAYS the peo-
pie may rest confidently assured that the gov
eminent of which they have chosen him the
executive head, will not be imperiled or i'm
paired by any compromise of their rights.
Gov. Packard has also issued proclamation,
in which he says Mr.. Nichols, who asserts that
his government is fixed fact, complete in all
its branches is destitute of one sned of legal
title to the Office he attempts to usurp. 1t is
a threatened oligarchy of wealth and a
menace to the middle and poorer classes
who form the majority, and whose
right to rule this minority would deny.
If force instead of law is to determine the
rightfulness of government the great body of
producers who voted for me can hardly be
blamed should they prove as patriotc as the
aristocratic citizens of New Orleans and aban-
don their legitimate pursuits to de-
tend the government of their choice.
1t is hardly necessary for me to reiterate the
last extremity my title to office to which l
have been declared elected and the rights and
privileges of those by whose votes chiefly
have been call to the executive chair If revo-
luton be made successful under Nichols what

class in this citr.
