DIR. l.. G.. b. Yorgey, who has gained SO
much nOtOriety by his speculatiOns in life
insurances of a questionable character,
said to a reporter day or two ago: 1
am carrying at the present time about
$50, 900 insurance ON different persons and
it costs me about $500 per month to pay
the assessments. When asked if he was
not anxious that some of these persons
should die, he answered "NO." "The
people," said he don't understand the
speculation life insurance business. 1t is
decidedly of more benefit to ME, if n man
upon whose life l hold an insurance, lives
three or four years after he is insured
than if he died in three weeks, because
the longer he lives the more will realize
from his insurance, as the classes will be
further advanced. Besides, never take
an insurance Oh any PERSONS life for my
own benefit without in some way prOvi-
ding in the policy for the benefit Of some
member of the family"

Tributes by Generals Hancock, Warren and
Others.
Mr.. J. G. Rosengarten, treasurer of the
Reynolds memorial fund, has received a
great many communications from old army
officers distinguished for their services in
the late war, among them Major General
w. S. Hancock, General w. =. Franklin,
of Hartford, Connecticut. and General
Warren, now stationed at Newport, in the
U. S., engineer service. In his communi-
cation General Hancock says: "I am
much gratified at the action taken by the
Legislature of Pennsylvania in reference to
the proposed statue of General Reynolds,
and to learn Of the handsome offer Of $25,-
600 by patriotic citizen of Philadelphia.
l have no doubt that the citizens of Phila-
delphia, and tho state at large will prompt
" recognize the appropriateness of placing
ReynOlds's statue in the great Paramount
park, where it will doubtless be seen by
more citizens of the country and of the
state than any other location that could be
selected. 1t seems to mo, considering
ReynOlds's history and his great services,
concluding with his glorious death at
Gettysburg, upon the soil and in defence
of his native state, that its citizens Cor it's
Legislature for them } should promptly
subscribe the remaining funds necessary
20 erect tho statue to this renowned son
Oft the commonwealth. l shall, of course,
be ready and happy to unite my efforts
with those of my comrades of tho late
war in the matter. consider that it be-
longs peculiarly to Pennsylvania and Phil
adelphia. Reynolds was born and reared
in our state !; he died defending it, and
although bis great fame and illustrious
record belong to the whole country, it
seems to me especially fitting that the
commonwealth should, mainly, at least,
erect the proposed statue to his memory"
General Franklin, who commanded the
left grand wing of the Army of tho Poto-
mac at fredericksburg, says 81 am very
glad that the prospect of getting statue
to General Reynolds is SO good, and l will
do what can to help it along"
General Warren, who succeeded, after
General Rcynolds's death, to his command,
consisting of tho old First army corps
and the division of the Pennsylvania Re-
serves, writes that he "would like to make
personal thanks to Mr.. Temple for his ap-
probation of the worth of General Rey-
n0lds as man, a soldier and patriot"
He suggests "a permanent organization
of the survivors of tho old First corps,
the organization of which was preserved
distinct by General Meade-who not only
appreciated Reynolds as q great soldier,
but loved him-when it was united under
me-"
Mr.. Rosengarten states that the re-
spOnses, from pecrniary point of view,
arc also gratifying.

The public mind does not seem to be
settled as to just what is the gravamen
of the offense of the Virginian who sent
postal card to Senator Vance asking
for his speech on that I'D dog Ma.
hone" The New York World seems to
think that the pinch of the shoe was in
the "d--d," and suggests that Malone
was over-hasty in taking offense at the
idea that his fellow Virginian was
swearing at him-since the poor
man may have .'only suffered with
the pen" in trying to write dog" But
we rather think it was the dog and not
the supposed damning of the dog that
Billy Malone objected to. The capacity
to he damned is human attribute, and
the square fact is that dog can't be
damned. So the 'sd-d" didn't add any
strength to the dog, as an Objectionable
description of Malone and whether it
was damn or stutter don't make a
bit of difference to that gentleman if
anything he would rather be ID
dog than a dog unadjectived, because a
good dog don't growl and bite and de.
light to fight and Billy does.
To he called dog is undoubtedly be-
ing called by an opprobrious epithet,
however redeemed it may be by
ascribing to the animal the peculiarly
human quality of a capacity for suffering
damnation. Sometimes the style of the
appellation is varied by speaking of the
dog as the son of its mother. This is
generally considered to be much the
most effective and obnoxious way of say
ing it though why it logically should he
has never been satisfactorily determined.
any more than it has been why it should
be more disagreeable to he called dog
than acat or a rat or a bat. We consider
that Mr.. Malone had right to object
to being called dog on a postal card
though it is not clear thai he can make
it out to be such scurrilOus description
of him as the law condemns. In oul
judgment the Virginian was wrong be
cause his description was loose and in
accurate. He would have hit the marx
nearer if he had called Mr.. Malone I;
monkey or, if he had All irrepressiblt
fancy for calling him a dog, he should
have described the kind, alluding to him
as that whiffet Malone - then too he
would not have suffered in writing it
The fellow might be punished for stu
pidity but we believe the laws do no
forbid an exhibition of that in pOst;,
cards; or there would be many 10

Tired Of the Republican Party.

The public is tired Of the Republican
party. The old superstition that some.
thing quite too awfully dreadful would
happen to the country if the Republican
party should cease to misgovern it has no
longer nearly as much terror as it used to
have. Dorsey dinners, Brady star routes,
Indiana dollar bills and Hubbell let.
ters have done good deal in the last few
months to disillusion honest men who
really believed that their party was the
sole repository of honesty and all the other
virtues. The Republican tricksters and
jobbers have cried wolf while they were
feathering their own nests, but the respect
able part Of the country begins to see
through them.

DR.. HODGE, of Princeton, is inclined to
ridicule the Catholic pretensions to de-

version. First, the revision of the Old
Testament will not be finished for foul
years and there can be no complete re.
vised Bible until that time, and, second
because the American Bible society can.
not publish the revised version. The
American Bible society, by the terms o
it's charter. is restricted to the King James
version, and all of its trust funds are held
subject to that condition. When the So
ciety was formed the only way that the
different denominations could be brough:
into it was by the adoption of rigid rult
to adhere to the authorized King Jane.
