The Banner ssBusted."

The Morrison County Banner has
suspended publication: Without as
much as bidding its readers good bye
and disappearing from this world with
as much grace as possible, it has sud-
denly dropped off into the sleep of
death. For fifteen weeks it fee5ly
battled with the adverse criticisms of
of an unappreciating pubic, and vain>
ly sought recognition as the leader, in
this county, of the party which it fa1se>
ly pretended to represent. Its brief
existence was stormy and woful one,
but it has gone to rest.
|. Its editor, ashamed to acknowledge ge
that his paper has busted," has dis
tributed circular announcing that he
will shortly continue it again. In our
opinion he has no more intention of
starting the Banner again than he has
Of going to China, but takes this
course to avoid the crushing humil,-
alton of acknowledging that his dirty
sheet died at the early age Of fifteen
weeks. In all our experience we nev>
er saw man deeper in the mire of
humiliation than Ire is at the present
time. But here is tho circular re-
ferred to above.
To the Patrons etfthe Morri&soon Couisn~

The Banner has of late been prints
ed at Sank Rapids, which arrange.
ment has no. been satisfactory to the
publisher, at any time !; and the issue
printed and delivered to US for c,rcula-
tiou on Friday last, the 18th inst,
was SO full of errors, and in such bad
shape generally, that We preferred to
disappoint our readers entirely rather
than circulate it. None can regret
this more than we, and none suffer
more because Of il ; and we Will assure
our patrons that nothing Of the kind
will occur hereafter that we shall IN
future print the Banner at home, in
our own. establishment and will see
that it is always we'll, printed and

will be made just as soon as printing

Donnelly undoubtedly represents

platform upon which he is running
harmonizes with his views, and it con.
tains the following resolution: =. y. :=-<..
' Resolued, That we are in favor of
the gradual substitution of national
treasury hotes for national bank notes,
and making such treasury notes the
sole paper currency of the country and
placed on such basis as that the same
shall be equal in value with coin and
d legal tender the same as coin. We
are in favor Of free coinage Of silver,
a tariff for revenue only, the reduction
of expenses in all departments of the
government, and legislation in favor Of
the development Of Industries d
the codhtry as distinguished from the
moneyed mouopolists Of the land. q:
Now, that is what we call sound.
The national banking system Of the
United States costs the people $13,>
900, 900, per annum, and even then
the national bank notes do not constis
tute as stable a currency as the greens
back proposed in the above resolution.
Thirteen million dollars is big sum
for the people to pay for nothing, and
it is leak thai we desire to See
stopped as soon as possible. But set
ting principles aside, we consider DON

The Washington Life Insurance Company.


We call the attention of our readers to the
Eighteenth Annual Statement the Washington
Life insurance Company, of New York, which
will be found in another column. The import
ance of Life Insurance to the people of Maryland
is attested by the official figures recently present
ed to our State Legislature, compiled from the
business of eighteen leading companies-shoW'
ing that up to the present time the amount Of
death claims on citizens of this State reported
to these companies was $6,957,S7
contest 6,s75,772.
Amount paid after litigation, 50, 4S6.
Amount successfully resisted, T,664.
Amounts outstanding not vet settled, 22,00O.
1t can be confidently asserted that no other
business can show SO large per centage of
claims against it which have been paid without
any contest.
"The Washington has never resisted the pay
ment of Maryland policy. There was period
in the history of Life Insurance In this country
when honesty, economy and careful management
were lightly esteemed by some OF those whose
duty it was to viglanIly and fall hfully guard the
the sacred trusts confided to them. That time has
pasted but fortunately for the policy holders of
the Washington, they have never lad cause for
any uneasiness. The present officers of he COM
pany are the same who inaugurated 1t eighteen
years since, with the determination to make their
the country. That his result has been achieved,
there can be no ground to doubt. The company
was examined year ago with scrupulous care by
the official appointed by the State Of New York,
and found by him 10 be perfectly clear as to every
thing il claimed to own, and he strongly approx.
ed its condition and management. Since then,
as shown by the present report, it has added to
its assets $201 ,072, and corresponding increase
in the surplus. An essential cause Of the sound
ness and prosperity of the Washington results
from the fact that it has been the unvaryng rule
of the officers to invest their funds in only three
classes of securities, viz: U. 3. Bonds, N Y.
State and City Stocks, and Loans on Real Estate
in New York city; and it now holds in stocks, at
par, with the bonds and mortgages, cash in hand,
securities largely in excess of its gross liabilities
The Company has an unsullied reputation, and it
deserves the patronage of the public, because, as
the New York Commissioners says, ait is man
aged by able, prudent and honorable men," The
