BENEFICIARY INSURANCE.

In last Sundays issue Of this paper
was presented an article on insurance in
which the merits and dement's of bene-
fciaTy society insurance were adverted
to and some structures passed on one in
particular. A gentleman connected with
that order enters a defence Of it to which
is appended a reply. The authors of
these communications are respectively
responsible for their ideas. THE MINER
neither Endorses nor refutes them. There
are excellent features connected with
beneficiary insurance, and at the same
time it has its disadvantages. 1t affords
means Of life Insurance that the regular
companies do not cover, and it lacks adj
vautages WIKI latter present.
There have been thousands of widows
and orphans saved from want by it,
who, bat for il, would have been lett
to battle the world after being bereft of
their. protector who never would have
been insured hal there been only the
sular computes in existence.
But the really worthy beneficiary in-
suranee is 60 re found only in connec-
ton with the standard secret orders
founded on the spirit of fraternity and
intended to cement that bond between
men OF all classes and ranks in life. The
Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Honor,
Knights Of Pythias, Foresters, knights
OF Labor and various Br~etherhoods in
culcate that spirit Of fraternity that is so
strong a feature Of social life now in-this

THE CRISIS.

The accession of William III. to the
throne of Germany will soon be followed
by a determination of the crisis impend-
ing in the East of Europe. The opinions
of European journals SO far received are
too meageT to base any conclusions as to
the immediate anticipatiOns on account
of his coming TO power of the countries
interested. In spite of his own protest
against attributing warlike intentions to
him, it is safe to assume that the policy
OF Cancellation will not be a feature of
his administration. He is essentially
military in his training and instincts,
and profoundly imbued with an over
shad0Wing idea of the power and re-
sources of Germany. While Bismarck
lives, he will exercise a restraining in
iuence Oh the imperial policy, but ii
Russian preparations continue to be
pressed forward as aggressiyely as they
have of late, and another occasion arises
to demand an explanation from Russia,
it will be made in a tone that admits of
no double Interpretation or %equiVOcal an
swer such as was made last winter. One
of Williams first actions on his fathers
death was to send Of con
tinued friendship to Italy. The triple al
lance will therefore be maintained in all
its force and effectiveness.
1t all rests with Russia. That country's
plans of railway extension iR Asia pur-
port her ultimate object to be the alb
sorption Of additional empire eastwardly.
Her possessions in that hemisphere are
enormous now. but her capacity for
.AAsiatic a-asg.rIlti2n las 10 Limit shs gid
her statesmen confne their efforts there,
Europe will remain tranquil for an indie
finite period. Germany has enough to do
yet to develop the comparatively new
empire and weld its elements into homo
gently. Austria has a task before her to
organize her military forces whose con-
dition of unpreparedness recently leaked
out. France is in no humor for fighting,
and the internal affairs OF Italy call for
all the economy and internal attention
she can bestOw.
But the Russian intolerance of the ex
isting condition of affairs in Bulgaria is
likely to break out into overt acts at any
moment, and when that happens the
spark that will fire the train will be
dropped and Europe will be ablaze from
end to end. The preparations made and
making by Russia on her Polish and Aus
trian border must soon attain a condi-
tion OF perfection beyond which the next
step is open wal. and it cannot be many
weeks ere this result is reached. And
when it comes. Germany's new Emperor
will be the last to cry Hold, enough p
when once the die is cast.

country and others. out of which natr-
rally grows q spirit Of charity and
the benevolent feature follows. The
plan Of regular assessment by members
Of q society upon the death Of a brother
member undoubtedly had its inception
III the necessity to take up a collection
in the lodge room Ter the families OF de-
ceased members who died leaving them
unproyided for. This often repeated m
forced the formation of a beneficiary
feature connected with the order. either
separate and voluntary OF embodied in
the order and a part of its features as
much as the social side. The assess
ment is, as a rule, a light tax on the
members, and tine knowledge that il goes
in most cases directly to a brothers sur
yiyOrs and keeps the wolf from the door,
will go Ear TO preserve the existence OF
these beneficiary features in connection
with secret societies wen BY those who
regard them as in no sense of the word
"a business investment.
So long, then, as a man feels that he is
not made to live alone /; that he a bet
ter fulfil the duties Of existence by be-
longing to and taking part in a frater-
nal organization; that doing 70 imposes
upon him the care of the widows and
orphans Of his lodge brethren when they
die and taking his share in visiting sick
brothers and alternating their distress,
and that organized effort in doing this is
better than undirected individual effort,
SO long will the beneficiary society in
surance flourish and do good in thOus-
ands OF cases. But let the mai who
seeks to benefit his family in this way
see that the society he joins is one that
has stood the test OF years and has a
recognized standing among men. In
such a society he has the best chance Of
deriving benefit from his connection
with it while alive and of its promises
being fulfilled TO the letter when he dies,
no matter to what age he may attain.

THE statement published by Mr.. Pettes.

The statement published by Mr.. Pettes,
secretary Of the committee having in
charge the arrangements for the coming
celebration of the Fourth of July in
Butte, is gratifying. 1t means that the
celebration will be d success. Officials
and organizations in neighboring towns
are earnestly asked to bear in mind.the
fact that they are invited to join with
the people of Butte in paying due OBJ
servance to the. coming national. ami
yersary. They will be welcomed here by
n and all: and should feel that this af-
fair is theirs also, and that a common
inheritance makes them heirs OF the
blessings OF the Republic whose estab-
lishment it is desirable TO honor and
p~erpetuate. Come, and join with lis in
paying respect to the anniversary.

THE FouRTH rN BurrE.

The Philipsbufg Mail has an article in
its last issue on the races in preparation
there for the Fourth oi July that con-
tains a mlSstatement concerning the
races here that needs correction. It has
been informed by a gentleman named
Cary that there Is a great amount OF
wrangling being INDUCED in by the
members Of the association OF that place
and that it is the opinion of Mr.. Cary
that the races there will not amount to
much Exactly how Mr.. Cary arrives at
this extraordinary conclusion W are not
~vouchsafed any explanation, but that it
is q lie made out Of whole cloth we have
the authority of the Secretary Of the
Butte Fair and Racing Association for
stating. In proof of this the latter
gentleman states that there are now ff-
teen heat runners at the track and that
more are coming. The management of
the Fair and Racing Association are at
perfect harmony with themselves and
with all who are coming here with
horses and have the best prospects before
them of placing stronger attractions on
the track here on the Fourth than ever
before.
As will be seen by the report of prog
ress of the committee in charge of the
celebration on the Fourth, there are the
best of reasons for believing that the un-
usual efforts put forth this year will re-
suit in a series of attractions in Butte on
that day worthy the patronage Of visit
ors from all parts OF the Territory, and
il the people of Philipsburg as well as
elsewhere want to witness a celebration
of the anniversary OF the Nations birth
day the like of which they never saw be-
fore, they had better get on the train
and come over to Butte. Here they will
see better racing and more Of it that day
than they will anywhere else in the Ter
ritory and in addition some of the most
gorgeous attractions ever put up by a
community the size OF Butte to show its
patriotism on Independence Day.
