Speculative Life Insurance.

The Christian Union, in the course of an
editorial discussion of the merits of Life In
surance, says: But if legitimate life insur-
ance is Il blessing TO the family and a duty OF
its natural protector, illegitmate life insurance
is \ dclusiOn for the one and q biunder of the
other. The gambling mania has Sezed.life in
suranCe also and between tue legitimate and
the illegitimate form there is difference as
great as between legitimate trade and illegiti-
mate speculation; and also, unfortunately, a
resemblance as specious. What is called the
Tontine plan is, in its simplest form, substan-
TALLY this: A group of 10 more combine,
pay in their premiums for q definite period
say 20 years; agree that if any one member
defaults in his payment he shall lose all that he
has paid if he dies before the 20 years, his
heirs shall receive the face of his policy-a
sum considerably less than the same annual
premiums would give his family on an ordn-
ary life policy; and that the amount remain
ing in the pool at the end of 20 years shall be
dixded among the survivors. If the reader
will attentively consider this, he will see that
it scarcely deserves the name of life insurance
% 1t gives little to the widow and the father
less, much to the living husband and father.
Life insurance is a cooperative scheme by
which many men agree to contribute to the sup
port of each others families in case of death the
consideration of each mans contribution while
he lives being the amount his family will re-
ceive when he dies. The Tontine plan is a CO.
operative scheme by which many men agree to
contribute a little to the family of the dying,
the bulk to the wealth of the surviving One
supports the bereaved at the cost Of the sur
yivorS; the other euricheS the survivors at the
cost of the bereaved"

Trouble at AtchiSOn.

Atehison, Kas., Marc 1.-The strikers
changed their front to-day, by refusing to
lat an engine leave the shop or yards that
had been fred up to pull out freight
train. -.
The engineer mounted the cab OF ms
engine and was about to move down to the
lower wards when a committee requested
him 10 run the engine back into the round
house, which he did. Similar action was
aiken at Downs this afternoon $ tram
was about to start east. The freight tram
which left here at 7:30 last night, reached
Downs on tiue, passing through Greenleai
at full speed. The strikers here
resumed their watch at the shops,
round houses and yards, and their
patrolmen order new employees to quit
work as fast as they report for duty. Inc
statement last night that the strikers had
asked financial assistance from the citizens
was mistake. The men say they are pre-
pared for a long siege. Interior towns ar
on the eve of coal famine, and some
the smaller towns are nearly out OF grocer
les and provisions. In Atchison there IS
short coal supply, and unless the block" q
is lifted in few days the mills will hav
to shut down.

gineer Marvin and Fireman Harrison and
the work of making mp train was at once

Master Clark were active participants:
as the time for departure approached, and
the train was almost ready to depart, two
men appeared on the scene, one OF whom
proved To be John ID. Williams, vice presl-
dent of the local executive committee OF
the Knights of Labor. The latter lnme-
diateIy entered into low conversation with
Engineer Marvin, and after considerable
talk and evident pleading the engineer
stepped from his cab and announced hat
, he would not take out the train. The loco
motive was returned to the round house.
Superintendent Kerrigan stated that no
! further efforts would be made to re-
move trains to-day and thus ended
the first effort to resume traffic on the Mis-
souri Pacific road. II cannot be definitely
stated what the company will now do, bat
the probabilities are that further and per-
haps more persistent efforts will be
made tomorrow TO send on: trains

tinued to employ new men, During the

Before closing the interview the re-
porter called the attention OF Gov.
Brown to the charge made by the

tended to enlist the sympathy Of the
business men of Fort Worth.
