The Rtna Life.
From the Hartford Times. ]


 The Etna Life Insurance company of this city has petition before the General Assem- ply for authority to capitalize it's surplus as- sets in it's stock departuent to the amounts of $z, coo, ,U9a .S- It's cd kd IS now $z5o, Qq9, which is a small capital, considering the large amount of business done by the com pany. The Etna has mutual and stock departments. The business of each is kept entirely separate from the other. Both are prosperous with solid assets, and each has good surplus. The rates of the stock de- pertinent are not the same as those of the mutual. We believe they are lower, as low indeed as it is safe to place them, in view of all the contingencies that may happen. By judicious management the surplus of the stock department is now about $700,000. The directors ask for authority which will enable them to capitalize any part of this, and from time to time to add such portions of surplus which may accrue to the capital stock as may be deemed advisable. It should be recollected that this surplus does not af- feet the mutual department, nor can the par ties insured in that department receive any benefit from it, nor any loss should all of it be destroyed. It belongs to the stock de- pertinent alone, and when it is capitalized, it cannot be paid out in dividends. It must always, when fixed as capital stand as safe- guard to policy holders in both departments. The Travellers Insurance company also has a stock and mutual department. The Legislature has authorized that company to increase it's stock capital, from time to time, and it has become popular as well as very strong company. So of the Etna fire and other fire insurance companies. They have been permitted to increase their capitals, and thus they afford more security to the parties who insure in them.
 The surplus earnings, as now held, are non taxable But when the full amount of $2, GOO, 900 of increased capital is reached the company will pay on the increase alone nearly $4O,O00 annually in local and State taxes
 We do not see any reason why the Etna Life Insurance company should not be per mitted to capitalize its surplus from time to time. It's policy holders will not complain, for every dollar added to it's capital strength ems their security. It is @ safe company, it's rates are low, and it is prosperous. We do not doubt that the Legislature will grant its present petition nor that the company will continue to prosper and meet all of it's obi gations with promptitude which has dis tinguished it in the past.

 Since the assassination of the late Emperor
 the efforts of the authorities to seek out and
 put down NihiIism have been, if possible, in-
 creased, and the comparative quiet and peace
 which have recently existed are no doubt
 again accepted as proofs of success. But the weakness of policy of coercion-in coun- tries where admitted grievances sxist-is in
 sympathy with the offenders However per
 feet the policy might be in theory, it must
 always depend for its practical administration on the officers employed to carry it out, and as chain is only as strong as it's weakest
 link, so the exercise of this policy is limited
 in effectiveness by the character and intelh- gence of the commonest officials. The ma chinery might be grand and imposing, but | the motive power, instead of being supplied by a people who are in harmon with, and supporters of, the laws it seeks to administer, is derived from the police, the.informer, and the spy A policy of repression, therefore,
 adopted by an.absolute ruler, resolves itself
 into government by the lowest and poorest
 clements of society. Hence it is that the permanence of the present Inactivity on the
 part of the revolutionary party is not be-
 heved in except by ths official mind, which, from its nature, judges mainly from appear
 ances and from official reports, and has but few true sources of information open to it as

The General Term of the Supreme court of New York in New York city has just de- cided an interesting point in the law of mar riage and divorce. In September, 1881, the wife of Constance Faber obtained g decree of divorce in which the husband was forbid den to marry again. Nevertheless, Faber took to himself another wife in April, 1882, and was thereupon convicted of bigamy in the Court of General Sessions and sentenced to the State prison. The General Term now sets aside this sentence, holding that after ths dissolution of the first marriage the rela- tion of husband and wife no longer existed between the parties, and therefore it was not bigamy for either to marry again. The de- fsndant was prohibited from marrying again by the statute relating to divorce, but 6 vio- lation of this statute is simply 8 misde- meanor. 5-s-z-ss -@z.

Mayor Palmer, of Boston, has done the right thing in publicly refusing to approve some large bills for refreshments furnished members of the city government on their own order. The bills furnished for the first five weeks of this municipal year aggregate $2,247, and some of them indicate that the city fathers were at work, or at least eat ing, on Sundays. One member had twenty five meals at cost of $114, and there are score who had ten meals or more charged to the city within the time mentioned Some of the members blame the mayor for bring ing to the attention of the public bills which they claim should never have seen the light of day, but the mayor can afford to be blamed by them.

From letter recently written by Rev Dr.

Let the fools believe it if they will, he would say but on this point he was semphatic- I have seen his face glow and bis eye flash while talking about it. Once he held my hand in his, and his voice was ten der as he said to me in substance that he should rely upon me to do him the service of saving him from ever being thought such a fool as not to believe in the Bible, miserably as he might have let it govern his life. This was before his last sickness. On another point he was sensitive he was afraid that it would be thought that his intercourse with me and other ministers had produced this belief He said that he should be mortified to be thought such fool as to need minis ters to fell him that D

The course taken by the Etns Life En- surance company at this time is wise and commendable. It has nothing to conceal. It is doing an honest, straiehtferward busi- ness. It invites inspection of its methods It has made request to be allowed to in crease it's capital stock, and knowing that this request is reasonable one courts the fullest presentation and discussion of the facts. This is the proper attitude for such trusted and trustworthy company to take. It can, we believe, safely rely on the good sense and fairness of the legislators.

HOT WATER AS A MEDICINE.

A young man who was compelled to
resign his position in one of the pablo
schools of this city because he was break
ing down with consumption, and who
has ever since been battling for life,
although with little apparent prospect of
recovery, was encountered several days
ago in Broadway restaurant.
II see," he said, " that you seem sur
prised at my improved appearance. No
doubt you wonder what could have
caused such change. Well, it was a
very simple remedy-nothing but hot

Il consulted physician who had paid
special attention to this hot water cure
and was using it with many patients.
He said: There is nothing, you know,
that is more difficult than to introduce

strikes at the root of erroneous views and
prejudices that have long been enter

but they are as far from doing it as ever.

defective nutrition. 1t is always accom-
