The Republicans OF Ufmsby County
reprsseated by delegates in Convention
assembled, affirm their devotion to the
principles enunciated N the Platform
adopted by the Republican Stale Con-
vention.
In addition TO our snlicitnde Cor the
prosperity OF the whole country, AZ al
fected by the present unjust discrimi-
nation sgainSt silver. we have per
sonai interest in the question SO far as
IL has been used 80 An argument fer
closing the Carson Mint.
We charge the Democratic leaders in
this State, under dirtaiion OF Senator
Fair, with having conspired against the
Carson Mint, and with having caused
its doors to be closed against gold and
silver producers OF this State.
We ccnhernn the action of the Demo-
cratic officials for Ceiayicg operations
upon the proposed public Government
building TO be erected in this city, and
fer which the appropriation now lies
idle in the Natio. al Treasury.
No favor abso ute exclusion o! the
Chinese from this county, now and

| fact that the p opposed Exclusion Act
! introduced by senator Mitchell, n Re
| publican Senator from Oregon, was
| passed by Republican Senate, and
| was subsequently rejected by Demo
| cratic House of Representatives. We
recognize that the people of tie entire
| country, whenever they become ac-
! Quaint. with the melitS OF this lues-
;lon, coincide With the Pacific Coast
| view, but we wish dlstiuctly TO point out
that So far as elective action on TINS
! great su bject is concerned, the Kcpubl
can party has shown its earnestness In
! the matter by attempting iesislat Oh for
! the benefit Of the people. This at

by q Democratic House of Representa-

STATEMENT.

THE undersigned, n 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, Endowment 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 1ontne 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 q
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.
llcies 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 ut any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
6th-Experience shows that the NOR.
tality is lower among Tontine 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 Tontine 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.
0th-Ihe Society has since its organi.
cation transacted a larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first half
| of the present year is $1,75O,OOO larger
than that of the first half of 1884. It
has Assets of $6O,0OO,OO0; over $14 .OOO,.
900 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that of any
other company.

CARD FROM MIR. HESsEI.

Contradiction Of the Reported Reason for
rarting With the " IntoiIgencer"
To the Editor of the Philadelphia Press.
SIR: Your Lancaster correspondent attri-
butes my sale Of my interest in the ISTELLI-
GESCER 10 the fact that " Mr.. Steinman
favored the nomination of Wallace for gov
ernor, and said 30 in the INTELLIGFNCER.
Mr.. Hensel was strongly in favor of
Black and also took occasion to
express his preference in the INrELLI-
GENCER." This is not true No such di-
versity of opinion existed between the former
owners of the INTELLIGENcER, nor YVES
any such expressed in its columns. The
articles TO whish your correspondent refers
were written by identically the same person ;
they are entirely consistent they expressed
the views OF the thelNrELLIGENcER and not of
its individual owners; aud in the event
OF either OF the leading candidates hay-
ing been nominated tor governor the INTEL

The most remarkable thing about the
Bulgarian coupe 'etst" is the wide differ
ence OF opinion in regard to it expressed
throughout Europe. All are united in as
cribing 1t to Russia, and the foreign press uni
versaily ignore the official version of the reyo-
luton; but while the continental Journals
all speak OF 1t as reverse to British diplo.
macy, the great London daIlies insist that i,
more vitality affects Germany and Turkey
1t looks as though the scheme had been Ions
prearrsnged with the sanction of German,
and Austria, as one of the terms Of the tripl,
alliance, and the only power that will b,
likely to make ita cdsuS belti is Turkey. [
Turkey sees tit to do so, England may be

Salisbury ministry would lie strong enough
to drag England into an alliance with tn,

Watchman Weayer's Crime.

The story of Watchman Charles Wea-
ver's crime is given in another column. 1t
is one of peculiar enormity because of the
absolute trust that was confided in him by
reason Of his position. His duty it was to
guard while the citizens who paid him for
his work slept in the security that they sup
posed they had purchased. He was clothed
with special authority from the city chief
executive, and he represented in his per-
son while on duty portion of the police
power of the town.
These grave responsibilities, it might
naturally be supposed, would stir to life
the latent honesty of thief and deeper
still would they anchor the integrity of an
honest man. Viewed in this light Watch
man Weaver's offense becomes all the more
nagrant. He has cast shadow over the
many honest private watchmen who pa
troll the streets by night, and he has fixed
upon himself an ineifaceble stain, because
when implicitly trusted, he has basely be
trayed. And the greater the trust, the
deeper his fall.
