STATEMENT.

THE undersigned, a Committee of Di-
Il rectors 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:-
1st-The Society issues all the APPROX.
ed forms of assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, E dowment and Tontine DO.
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by In.
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death
3d-The premiums on Tontine 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
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
paid in cash on maturing Tontine DO.
licies approximates to or exceeds the
amount or 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 wears, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
6th-Experience shows that the NOR.
tality is lower among Tontine policy.

kind of assurances, which is consider.

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.

9th-The Society has since its organi.
cation transacted a larger amount of
new business than any other company,

OF the present year is $1,75O,OOO larger

"sirns and Seasons

John Burroughs, one of the most graceful
writers on familiar topics, has prepared another
volume of his sketches, which has been pub
lished by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., under the
title, Signs and Seasons" in which he treats on
subjects Of intimate interest to every lover of
nature The worry title of the book indicates it's
nature and guarantees something good, which
promise is well kept, for the sketches presented
are among the best he has yet given to the read
Ing public. Even the most cursory glance at
the titles of these short essays indicates that they
are something more than mere attempts to
"make a book" The reader who begins them
casually is unconsciously beguiled into reading
every one OF them, and each succeeding one with
new interest Hard fare. for instance, is de-
ecriptioD Of the way of birds and the smaller
animals during the prevalence of a severe winter,
when there was very hard fare for all Of them,
and when many of them persisted for want of
suitable subsistence. The writer deals with his
tiny subjects with familiarity that indicates
his intimate association with them. It is a
pleasure to read the productions Of this writer.
and none arc better than the volume now offered
the public.

Forgotten Meanings. -

Lee & Shepard. Boston, have printed very
entertaining little book. with the title, Forgot-
tan Meanings" which sufficiently indicates its
purpose It contains a list of words whose pres
ant significance is greatly changed from their
original meaning. 1t is prepared by Alfred
Waites, and shows careful research. A few ex-
smples, taken at random from Its pages, will
show its character. The word ''checkmate" for
Instance, is from the Persian, ssShah mat the
king is dead. A very pretty derivation is given
70 cemetery" which means sleeping chamber
This name was given to their burial places by
the early Christians, who were fond Of compar-
Ing death to sleep. 1t is from the Greek.
koimeterion, koimao. to lull to sleep "Gym-
nastics' comes from the Greek, "gumnos naked,
she exercise thus designated being taken while
the person was naked. nickname" a name to
tease with, from the German. meek name, /"
necken to tease The peculiar significance of
this compound is shown by the relationship of
"necken" with Necksn. or Nixsn, the mischiev-
Gus and malicious water-sprites. The little vol
ume is taken UP with such instances of verbal
puzzles ready solved for the convenience of the
reader. The possessor of copy of Webster's
Unabridged has the same thing on a larger
scale, and the enjoyment aud information af-
forded by this little book Is there to be found on
larger scale. The convenient size of this will
commend 1t TO the general public.

The family is, indeed, an extension OF the per-
sonality of its head, and may, therefore, right
fully claim primary recognition in the settlement
OF the estate, but the law has always held that
the power of bequest has its limitations The
question IS one of great intricacy. A probate
tax, increasing in relative amount according to
the testators wealth. has beer advocated by
many. John Stuart Mill favored the restriction
on what any one might be permitted to acquire
by bequest or inheritance, thus leaving the tes-
tator to dispose of his entire property. We come
here upon the New Testament idea of steward
shlp-tnat men are not their own, and that they
snoulo so use their wealth as to promote the
kingdom of God. Two other evils of modern civ
iization that have sorely aggravated the misery
OF the poor and opened new paths to i'll gotten
wealth must be briefly referred to-natonal debts
and standing armies. These are the heaviest
yokes OF iron upon European industry. The
aggregate debt of Europe is not less than $780,
UO0,O0O,U OO, perpetual mortgage of $500 on
every family of Ave, upon which an annual in
terest of $40 must be paid. And where are these
thousands Of millions? Lying in the Golfers of
the, rich, and constituting the heaviest single
item of taxation. How can such tax be paid?
How long ought it to be paid2 May the dead
hand OF Napoleon forever grind Europes poor!
There is equity in the demand that each genera
ton shall pay its own debts, and not mortgage
the industries Of its successors But the stand
ing armies OF Europe are its greatest Industrial
menace. In times of peace Europe has nearly
four million able bodied men under arms, seven
and half millions can be commanded at a
months notice, and fourteen millions constitute
the war footing. Greece, with population of
less than two millions, has army of twenty
nine thousand men, On the basis Of the CONT
mental policy we would have standing army
of 600. 900 men, to be maintained at an annual
cost of 5000 100000. with additional reserve force
Of not less than 900, 900 men. The cost to
Europe. in year of peace, of its military camps
is not far from 81 000 000 000 and the annual loss
in productive income from this enforced idleness
must be at least three times much more, all
of which must be added to the annual interest
on the national debts. Is it surprising that
Spain, and Italy, and Turkey are bankrupt. and
that everywhere the poor are sunk III hopeless
misery? Nor are there any encouraging signs of
Improvement. The fever seems to be mounting.
The last ten years have everywhere increased
the burden and the madness must soon reach its
height. Meanwhile, the monster fattens on tho
blood of the poor. Beggary fills the fairest and
the most fruitful lands Of central and southern
Europe; while only in Norway and Sweden is
there relative and general comfort. The win
tiers of the north are not so cruel as the muskets
of Austria. Italy and Spain Wars must cease
and standing armies disappear before the indus
trial millennium can come. The days of peace

SPIRIT OF THE STATE PRESS.
The Employer and the Capitalist.

Muncie Times.
The real issue, then, is, or should be, between
the capitalist and the laborer, but the mistake
should not be made to designate the employer as
the capitalist, and make him to suffer the pen
atty intended for the capitalist. This mistake is
invariably made, and the making of it invariably
results in injury to the very interest 1t was In
tended to benefit namely, the labor interest.
Jay Gould is both capitalist and an employer,
but, having more the elements of the former
than the latter, he is greedy, grinding and OPP
pressive Yet, as an employer. he has distrlo-
uted millions of dollars in building and operating
his numerous railroad lines. Thousands of men
have lived comfortably upon the money he has
distributed among them in pay for their toll.
TO his desire to accumulate wealth he has be-
come slave, and, in order to satisfy this desire.
he has oppressed his men, reduced their wages,
and given them cause to complain. 1t may be
difficult to distinguish Gould the employer from
Gould the capitalist, and yet it is possible, and
laboring men would better make this distinc-
ton than to strike and boycott his entire
interests, and deprive the country of the prod
ucts of their toll, and the money that would
thus be put into circulation. If legitimate war
can be made upon Gould as capitalist and
greedy monopolist. let it be made. but as an en-
ployer of thousands of men and as distributor
of millions of funds he Is entitled to considera-
ton and some degree of respect. The laboring
men of the land have rights which must be re-
spected. If their labor is made to produce i'm
mense profits, they should share this profit.
They should understand, however, that when
oppressed the real cause of their oppression as
a rnle, is somewhat remote. 1t is with the CAPT
! taist the man who employs no labor, but lives
anu rhrives, upon the direct, but the indirect
earnings of the laborer and the misfortunes of
others. IT, then, these evils are to be removed,
strike at the fountain head but spare the legiti.
mate employer who stanas between the laboring
man and the capitalist protecting him from the
auttle.iish like claws of that individual who
