STATEMENT.

THE undersigned, a Committee of Di-
l. rcctors of the Equitable Life As.
surance Society of the United States,
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board OH the advantages offered by the
Society to the public report
1st--The Society issues all the APPROX
cd forms of assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, Endowment and Tontine DO.
licies. II is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by in.
tending assurers.
2d-Thc Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and surrender value; are indis-
putablc after three years and payable
Immediately af,er proof of death.
3d-Thc premiums on Tontinc po-
icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay.
able in the event of death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
mulated profits In cash at the end of n
stated period; thus, during his own life.
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-Experience shows that the return
licies approXimates to or exceeds the
amount of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th--Tontine policies, like Others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
6th-EXpericnce shows that the NOR
tality is lower among Tontinc policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurances. which is consider
able source of profit.
7th-Tontine policies will be made
non-forfeitable under the laws of the
State, if so desired at the time the as.
surance is effected.
Sth-The Tontinc system is fair and
just; its accounts are accurately kept,
separate from all other business; the
funds judiciously invested and improv-
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly appoltioned.
9th-The Society has since its organi.
cation transacted u larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first half
of the present year is S1,75O,O0O larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $6O,OoO,OO0; over $l4 ,OOo,-

INSANITY AMONG WOMEN.

The Tendency of the Present system of

The reading of recent article by

recollection of certain visit paid to an
insane asylum some years ago. [ was
amazed to see so many familiar faces Of
persons whom had missed from the
streets and other public places, and had
supposed were dead; and in one sense
they were. Many. and indeed | should
say the majority, of these were teachers
and overweight scholars preparing to
be teachers. One who accompanied
me, and who had been at one time a
patient here and knew most of the his
tories of these patients, told me much
that was sadly interesting. So mary
bright women! So many fine scholars!
Is this the promised end for which they
tOiled and studied? One especially |
can never forget. (Which was the
most dreadful of all whom you saw?''
asked my friend; and described her.
She was babbling idiot, full of grim
aces, of ceaseless talk and painful
laughter.
'And did you not recognize her?'
Recognize her! How was it possible?
Then was told that she was once the
brilliant and accomplished teacher who
taught in IS school. formerly one of
the most fashionable in Boston. had
known her well. had admired her

somewhat the changed features. The
large, dark, serene eyes were there,
but the soul had fled; the features were
as if cast of plaster, the face was the
same but it was like a face inverted,
reversed, distorted; twas the face of an
IDIOT
Now, when hear of vacations

A correspondent sends the following ac-
count of mistake made by little girl in
his vicinity. She always joins the FAM
lily in reading the Scriptures during
the family devotons, taking her verse in
turn. She easily reads the shorter words,
but needs some help on the longer, but is
always eager to pronounce all the words
herself and sometimes guesses. Recently
it came her turn to read the verse; mo
man can serve two masters, for either he
will hate the one and love the other, or else
he will hold to the one and despise the
other. Ye can not serve God and Nam
mon." She made slight variation at the
end and finished the verse: Eye can not
serve God and women. ~ Chicago Tribune.

The Fountain Fund.

At the request of the Humane Society,
whose objects appeal to the sympathies and
command the respect Of all good citizens,
and whose membership includes many of
the most honored residents Of Washington,
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has consented
to he the custodian of such funds as may be
contributed for the erection of drinking
fountains at various convenient and appro-
pirate points throughout the city.
These fountains will be erected under the
direction Of the Humane Society. They
will he ornamental in design, and will be
adapted to the wants of "man and beast, !"
will be so constructed as to supply water
for men, women, and children, for horses,
CATTLE and dogs, and even for the spar
rows. The Potomac water has been puri-
fed, and is now q wholesome beverage. 1t
should he available in hundreds of locali-
ties where 1t is not now obtainable for the
purposes we have named. 1t is the intent
of The REPUBLICAN, that IL shall be thus
available.
There is no other American city where
voting is so popular as in Washington. 1t
is the almost universally adopted method
of raising funds for benevolent and charita-
bic objects. Perhaps it mightbe less popu-
lar here IL we had election machinery in
vogue, but, be that as it may, 1t is, as we
have stated, the readiest and best means Of
raising funds for public enterprises not
provided for by acts of Congress
In recognition of this strong tendency Of
the public mind in Washington The
REPUBLICAN proposes an election by bal
lot--at ten cents vote--betwcen the
Jacksonian motto, "To the vlctors belong
the spoils,n and the Cleveland maxim,
efficiency, fitness, and devotion to public
duty are the conditions Of continuance in
| public place"
THE REPUBLICAN casts one hundred votes
| for tie noble maxim Of President Cleveland
and the great reform for which that maxim
stands. We expect other Republicans aud
! civil service reform Democrats to vote with
us-chch as many ballots as he or she de-
sires to cast at ten cents apiece.
JNcksonian Democrats, rallying to theil
old-time shibboleth, will vote for the old
theory.
Washingtonlans and all others who are
interested in beautifying the peoples
capital city, and who care to advance the
good work of the Humane Society, will
send or hand in their votes. Every dime
will count one ballot, and the name Of each
contributor, will be printed in The REPUD
