THE TIMES-D DEMOCRAT.

THE New ORLEANS DEMOCRAT AND New
ORLEANS TINES CONSOLIDATED DEcEM-
BIER l, 1881.
A representative newspaper must lind Its
way into every business establishment and
to every tireside around which clusters even
the most ordinary intelligence. Is there
any question in the minds OF the people llv-
ing in the Southwestern and Gulf States
that the Times Democrat is that paper ;
that it embodies all of the elements and
possesses all the qualities that they can rea-
sonably expect to find in a favorite journal?
The enterprise. push and progress OF the
New Orleans Democrat during the past
eighteen months have become proverbial.
No journal published in the South has
made such progress in the same period of
time. The New Orleans Times has been
for many years recognized as one of the
leading Journals in the country.
The consolidated issue, The Times-Dem-
highest virtues of both 1t will simply be,
without question, the ideal paper of the bu-
siness man, the mechanic, planter, farmer,
the family, the people, of all classes and
conditions. II is waste of time to enumer-
ate the excellencies OF its issues. 1t is the
embodiment of the modern newspaper.
Every department in ii has been raised to
the highest standard. The Daily or the
Weekly Times-Democrat should reach ev-
cry place Of business and every home in
the Southwestern and Gulf States.
The subscription rates for the Daily are
as follows, payable in advance;
One year every day.. .sla. Six months - Sc
Postage prepaid.
The rates for the Weekly are as follows:
One year lsaturdaysy. 81 60 six months. .75e
Tnree mynfas........-, 80 Pqsta &c prepaid
The Weekly is never less than IL pages in
size. and is really the best and cheapest
weekly paper published.

l. The object of this Association is to al.
ford pecuniary aid to young men when they
assume the responsibilities OF married life,a
time when, above all others, they generally
need such aid; and, subsidiary to this, its
purpose is to promote industry, economy
and morality.
CHARTERED.
2. 1t is chartered for ninety-nine years
under the laws Of the State OF Louisiana
and has perpetual succession. Its officers
and directors are prominent and well known
citizens whose high character and eminent
standing in both business and social circles
is an ample guarantee of the good faith
and fairness with which the affairs OF the
Association will be conducted, and they are
determined that it shall be benefactor to
society. Its officers are bonded.
THE PLAN.
3. 1t differs from other mutual insurance
organizations chiefly in this: The policies
are made payable upon the marriage OF a
member, instead of upon his death; and in
order to place the benefit OF the Association
within easy reach OF all worthy young men,
it is divided into three classes, and upon
the marriage of, member oil the others
contribute to the payment OF his policy,
each one according to his class.
CLASS NO. ONE.
d. In class No. the minimum policy is
$500, and the maximum policy $1,000. If a
member who holds a policy in this class
marries at any time after the expiration of
six months from the time he became a
member, his policy will aggregate so per
month for every month of his membership
until it reaches its maximum, $1,000, when
its growth will cease But if he marries
within "a months, his policy will amount
to $50 per month from the time he became
a member to the time of his marriage, when
he will cease to be a member of the Associa-
ton.
5. The following tabular statement will
show how the plan works in this class:

piration of six months from the
time he became member would

An incompetent Speaker.

Speaker Keifer has shown how in
competent he is for the position to
which he has been elected. Ran
dali got him SO confused Monday that
his rulings were ridiculous. Ran
dali led him on inch by inch till he
got him in deep water, and when
about to submerge him, Kasson,
whose bill was being discussed,
withdrew his measure and helped
Keifer out of his trouble. The Re-
publicans of the House felt the I'M
fitness of their Speaker and some so
expressed themselves. Randall. the
leader of the Democratic side, is the
finest parliamcntarian in the House,
and now that he has experimental
with keifer will know how to attack
him in future. The Democratic mi
nority is strong enough, under such
a leader as Randall, to prevent the
passage of any bad measure framed
by the Republicans, and it will do
so. The Republicans have very lit
tie advantage over the Democrats.
They will have to take the respon-
sibility of all the legislation, good
or bad.
keifer has at last announced his
committees. 1t is learned that the
|Chairmanships are as follows :
Ways and Means, Kelly, of Penn

of New York; Judiciary, Reed, OF
Maine; Foreign Relations, Williams,
