Statement" which condenses into
8 paragraphs a large amount of use
full information, for the public bene-
fit, respecting the methods, condition
and practical business operations of
that progressive and prosperous in-
stitutiom. We need not recapitula'e
the several points made, so plainly
and emphatically, by these gentle
men. 1t is enough for all fair-mind-

such prominent financial and com
mercial authorities as Messrs. Chaun-

A. Stewart, President of the
United States Trust Co.; Eugene
Kelly the leading banker and
representative of California financial

Bank; John Sloane, senior partner
of the great carpet firm of w. " j.
Sloane; Charles G. I.andon, of the
old firm of Bernhard & Hutton, aud
Henry b. Hyde, President of the
Equitable Life. A statement to
which is appended such names must
carry conviction ofthe truths stated
and, in view of business-like, com.
prehensive brevity ofwhat these gen

in fact would be almost all impcrtin'

STATEMENT.

The Undersigned, a Committee of
Directors Of the Equitable Life AS
surance Society of the United States,
appointed to formulate the views OF
the Board on the advantages offered
by the Society to the public, report:
LIST. The Society issues all the APP
proved forms of assurance, including
Ordinary Life, Endowment, and
Tontine policies. 1t is immatenal TO
the Directors which form of policy is
taken by intending assurers.
I'd. The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide. for annual cash
ldiyidelds and surrender value; are
indisputable after three years, and
payable Immediately after proof of
death. @ "a
3. The premiums Oil a Tontine pol
icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only
payable in the event of death, the
holder of the Tontine policy has the
right 10 draw the whole of the re-
serve and the accumulated profits in
cash at the end ola 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. b.
4th. Experience shows that the re.
turn paid in, cash Up maturing Ton
tine policies approximates to, or ex-
ceeds the amount of premiums paid
by policyholders, so that The average
cost Of the assurance will be only
about the interest on the premiums,
9th. 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 imme-
diately after due proof of death.
9th. Experience shows that the
mortality is lower among TontinC
policyholders, asthe better lives seek
this kind of assurance, which is q
considerable source of profit.
It'll. Tontine policies will be made
non-forfeitable under the laws of tho
| State, ifso desired at the time the as
surance is effected. laF. W-
s, The Tontine system is fair ant
just its accounts are accurately kept
separate from all other business; tn,
funds judiciously invested and i'm
proved, and the accumulated profit
faithfully guarded and properly ap
portioned. 1u I'd S. s.4soA

The Senate and the Omcehoiders
statement was published lately in a
Washington paper that the Republican
Senators, at a caucus held a few days be
fore the adjournment of the Senate, agreed
that they would not confirm nominations
in cases where Republicans had been re-
moved for purely political reasons This
statement was telegraphed all over the
country, and has been very generally dis
cussed.
There is very good reason for thinking
that no such agreement was made. 1t has
been denied, but not authoritatiyely. Re-
publican Senators who have been asked
with regard to it have declined to talk
| about it, because they do not discuss eau
Gus secrets for publication.
1t is probable that there was some dis
cussion of the patronage question in a
Republican Senatorial caucus, and it may
be that there was an attempt made to set
tie upon policy in order to secure har-
mony of action, but it is certain that no
resolution was adopted and nothing de-
termneG that was regarded as binding.
1t is probable that some of the Republic
cans will raise objections to nominations
that do not happen to suit them, and there
are Democrats who will object to certain
nominations, but those who expect that
the Republicans will object to all those
who were nominated to succeed offensive
partsans will be disappointed.
The President doubtless has already
made friends of enough Republicans in
the Senate to insure the success Of his
nominations. He has made no bargains,
of course, but there are thousands of Re
publicans in minor places who have not
been, and who will not be, disturbed. 1t
may be that Republican Senators have
asked for the retention of some of them.
These Senators viii not forget favOrs Of
this kind, and will stand ready to lend
the administration helping hand when
it needs it.
The Republican Presidents seldom
lacked Democratic help when they got
into tangle with the Republican Sena-
tors. Instances are not wanting where
nominations during the administrations
of all the Republican Presidents would
have been defeated if it had not been for
the assistance received from Democratic
Senator'S.
Those Republican officeholders who are
looking to the Republican Senate to keep
them in Office might as well abandon that
expectation. When the President gets
ready to fill their places with Democrats
they will go out, and will go out to stay.
There is no reason why the Senate
should undertake to keep Republicans in
office. The terms of the Republican
officeholders viii expire before the end Of
the present administration, and their
places win be occupied by Democrats.
What difference does it make to Republi-
can Senators whether Republican Office
holders 90 out of Office now or one or two
or three years hence? BY the time Con-
gress meets next fall a good many errone-
GUS ideas about this Office holding bust
ness will be corrected.

The Canadn COLONY.

The colony of American financiers in
Canada is increasing quite rapidly. The
announcement in the public prints that
President Moneybags, or Cashier Cash or
Paying Teller Currency has taken run
over to Canada with no intention Of re-
turning Immediately is becoming quite
common.
These tinanciers had quite lonely time
of it doubtless when the colony first began
to be formed, but there are so many of
them now that they are no doubt able to
pass the time quite comfortably.
The last man to join the colony was
Paying Teller Scott, who carried off
100000 of the money of the bank of the
Manhattan Company of New Y ork day
or two ago. Scott was getting $4,000
year and had been an employee of the bank
for twenty years. He thought probably
that he had been working long enough,
and that he would take vacation for the
remainder Of his life.
Measures ought to be taken by the
State Department at once to secure such
an amendment to our eXtradition treaties
with different nations that embezzlers
could be arrested In any country with
which we have treaty relations, and their
return secured. Fewer bank officers
would become criminals if the chances of
escaping punishment for their crimes
were decreased.
Within the last few years the number of
banks wrecked by trusted bank officers
has been very large, much larger per-
haps, than the number ruined by bad
management or unavoidable losses.
There is more sympathy with a man
who is recreant to the trust reposed in
him and runs of with a hundred thousand
dollars or more of other peoples money
than with common thief There ought
not to be, however. In fact the embezzler
ought to be dealt with much more Sc
verely than the petty thief, or even the
burglar who breaks into bank or a store,
because his otfense Is more heinous.
Measures ought to be taken at once for
checking the growth Of the Canada col
ony, and for making it unsafe for en-
bezzers to find a safe retreat in that
country.
