EDWIN BOOTH is aged 46. He accompanied
his father, the celebrated tragedian, on his
starring tours when very young, expeditions
which, while they had the advantage OF initial
ing him into the mysteries of stage business,
mad the disadvantage OF precIuding him from
complete education. He is unread, and has
no taste whatever for literature. He has a
poetic presence, graceful nlien, an apt eye
for pictorial effect, and an admirable natural
elocution. His first successes were made IN
California. Thence he went to Australia with
Laura Keene. but returned without perform
ing there. His first New York success was
made at the Winter Garden theater when he
performed Hamlet" for upward of 100 con
secutive nights, a success which was subse-
quently swelled by the unfortunate notoriety
OF the name. His attraction has. under bad
management, recently rather waned, but he is
the most popular and paying star through the
country, If not in New York. His first wife
was Miss Mary Devlin, of Troy, cousin of the
elothiers of New York, most charming act
ress, by whom he had a daughter now touching
womanhood. His present wife was the
adopted daughter of Mr.. Mcvicker, the Chica-
go manager. Mr.. Booth is gentle and amiable
in manner, melancholy in temperament, and
OF a most blameless private life.

Nothing has done more during late years
to remove distrust and establish public con-
hdence in life insurance companies than the
disposition shown by few of the strongest
institutions to amend their methods of doing
business. Many needed reforms have been
introduced, some of them radical and prac-
teal, and others mere shams put forth to
catch the unwary. Concessions in matters
of detail are not sufficient; the people want
essential improvements in the system. The
evils most complained of have been the fail
ure to specify in, life policies definite sur
render value, and the refusal of companies
to pay death losses without recourse to tine
courts. But one company-the Equitable
Life Assurance society-seemst to have caught
the right spirit, and has lately introduced
into it's business features which can not fail
to meet with public approval. 1t makes all
its policies incontestable after having been
three years in force, thus closing the door to
litigation. Another concession, and one
quite as important, is, that each policy shall
contain upon its face provision for def
mite surrender value, in case the policy is
forfeited after three years from its date.
This gives to the policy-holder guarantee
against absolute loss, in case his policy is
not kept alive by the continued payment of
premiums. 1t Is not unlikely that public
opinion will compel tine other great life
companies to adopt similar liberal course,
for these reforms are much needed, and
commend themselves to the favor of all
policy-holders. The action of the Equitable
"a an iptarestiuo i1lustration of the fact that
the life insurance business in this country
is gradually being better understood by tha
people, as we'll as by the companies and
that the system is becoming more perfect
with the progress of time.

THE Chicago Tribune is an organ OF Re.

can slime. Is applauds Republican rascality
Endorses, without grimace, Republican
scoundrelism. 1t hoes its row in the Re-
publican fields of fraud and spoilation 1t

Democrats, and sees no wrong in Louisiana

dollar organ, nevertheless, and does not hes
-itate to pronounce Zach Chandler liar and
John Sherman fraud. The Tribune digs
out a paragraph from Shermsn's Portland
speech, as follows: sE

In commenting upon the foregoing the
Tribune remarks that SHERMAN has a mo
nopoly of the coin and locks it up" and
then adds that Sherman has In the course
of the year to pay out $500, 100000. This
he can do IN gold. silver, or paper. Wher
he issues the paper he does not pay tine
debt, he simply gives the creditor an ordel
on the next window for the money. Wher
he gives out coin, then the debt is paid, ant
that is the end of the entire matter

ton among people willing to take them"
best to nullify the laws of Congress in the
interest of Shylocks, and his talk about not
being able to pay out silver Is bold decep-
ton. The people are willing to take silver,
and, as the Tribune remarks, "the secretary
has to pay out perhaps S1Oo, 900, 900 year
for salaries, and, If these gentlemen who
receive this sum refuse to take silver dollars,
he could, by inserting brief advertisement
in the papers. find as many competent per-
sons IN Maine, or even in Ohio. willing to
take their places, and at the same time take
their salaries in silver dollars. Let him IN
quire in Maine if there are not persons there
who will take Office the pay being in silver
dollars. The fact u.s. that this talk about not
being able to get the silver in circulation is
pure nonsense. The secretary has $135, 0O0.-
600 in gold in the treasury, and as fast as he
pays 1t out it comes back again. So with
silver and so with greenbacks. The secre-
tary. from first to last has endeavored TO
degrade the silver dollar, and his refusal to
use it can hardly deceive any person into
the belief that nobody will take It,"
With such a showing as this the public
will be prepared to conclude that John Sher-
man is as much Of fraud now as he was
when in Louisiana he bartered Federal
offices for perjury that he might make Hayes
president and himself secretary of the treas
ury. The Tribune ought to get out of such
company.

Mr.. CROSBY. United States consul at Florence,
Italy, in dispatch to the department of state,
reports that successful trial of anthracite coal
has been made In Italian locomotives. One
company has ordered 10000 tons from the Phil
adelphia and Reading company. The United
States consul at Naples has just reported a
-
coal in smelling furnaces in that city. The
locomotive from this country, exhibited at
the Paris exposition, was recently sent to
Milan for trial, having been refused at Flor
ence. Great opposition is made to it by Bel
gian and English makers of locomotives.
There is now a prospect that it may have a
trial. A SON of Louis Kossuth is the CHIEF

THE Oldhams and Belts live in Hardin
county, Illinois, and rival each other in wick
the families, and a year ago 1t broke out into
bloody hostilities. A Belt was killed by an
Oldham in consequence of a quarrel about 9
woman, and after that hostilities were open
and fierce. Logan Belt, the leader of the Belt
faction, killed Doris Oldham soon afterward
for revenge. 1t was not long before Logan
Belts nephew was killed in a drunken Draw
by man whose wife was an Oldham. The
aext homicide was that of "Doc. Oldham by
Logan Belt, at an Oldham family party, int
which some of the Belts intruded in order Il
force fight. Although justice is very sleep,
in Hardin county, four murders within few
months aroused the grand ury to action, ant
Logan Belt was indicted. Several witnesse
against Belt have been fired at, one losing
finger; and a badly aimed shot, presumabl,
fired at an Oldham, seriously wounded a Belt
who was standing close by. The trial of Logal
Belt has been commenced, and the evidenc
already shows the existence of secret societ
among the Belts, formed for the exterminatio
of the Oldhams.

New YORK has a legislative committee en-.
gagged in unraveling the mysteries of rail-
road transportation in that State, and the
probabilities are that valuable additions will
be made to the sum total of Information
upon the subject. A writer in the New York
Tribune remarks that railroad managers
say that the amount of capital has nothing
to do with rates for transportation. If this is
so, why did Mr.. Vanderbilt initiate his stock
$47, 900, 600 in 1867 and 1868. upon which
watered stock dividends have since been de-
clared, amounting with interest, to over
$50, 600 600? Suppose that instead of water
ing his stock, Mr.. Vanderbilt had reduced
hisrates for nsportation until they:yieided
the legal 10 per cent, would not the public
have had their transportation cheaper, and
been benefited to precisely that extent?
The truth OF the business is, taxation for
transportation dwsrfs all other forms
of taxation; 1t levles first tax upon all that
we eat, drink. or wear, and. unlike some
other forms of taxation. it falls heaviest
upon the poorer classes Every ton OF coal
or barrel al flour pays its tax before it
reaches the consumer; and railroad managers
WELD far greater power to tax than does
the Legislature. 1t Is therefore of the great
est importance that the obligations of rail-
roads should be defined. After they realize
10 per cent. profit, the public are entitled to
their share, in the shape of reductions in
rates. How the roads are managed deeply
concerns all classes of citizens As stated in
the address made by the committee of the
Chamber of Commerce to the Legislative
committee, upon the thoroughness of your
, investigation depends, in great measure,
the commercial and industrial welfare of the
entire community. 1t is hardly possible to
imagine subject of greater Importance, or
one which affords wider scope for patient,
statesmanlike Investigation. Let us nope
that sufficient time will be taken to make
the investigation comprehensive and thor
ough, and the report of the committee a
valuable contribution to the history of the
State" Manifestly this thing of watering
stocks is matter of the grossest injustice to
the public, since it results in advancing the
rates of transportation 1t is time that the
whole subject was thoroughly understood
by the people and system of fair dealing
inaugurated.
