AN INVESTMENT RnNn

The Equitable Life Assurance society an
nounces new contract which combines
the elements of life assurance with those
OF an investment bond. By this combina-
ton certain novel advantages are secured,
while the indemnity furnished by life as
surance is enhanced in value
This bond seems worthy of special at
tention.
The Equitable society reports surplus
OF twenty-five and a half millions and its
maturing policy contracts show such large
profits that these bonds are claimed to
have the double advantage of offering the
greatest security coupled with the Ger
tainty of large profits at maturity.

NOT a PARTISAN MEASURE.

Some days before the votes taken in the
Senate on the Senate Finance Committees
amendments to the House Silver Bill. the
New York Times said Of the bill that had
Tassed the House: I'VE have pointed out
THAT it was purely partisan measure, con-
cocted and supported for partisan purposes,
with no general demand for it among the
people, and with no legitimate financial end
in view" Three or four days later the Sen
ate voted 30 to IA to strike out the Finance
Committees provision that Treasury notes
issued for silver shall be legal tender for
all debts, and on the same day voted, 81 to
Z, 10 strike out the redemption clause in the
House bill which was objected to by the sill
yer men. These two votes do not indicate
that the Silver Bill was partisan measure.
The small minority voting against silver
was certainly composed of Senators from
both parties. though ali their names have
not been sent by telegraph. TIE idea of
the Ienes that the silver legislation has no
legitimate financial end in view rests on as
slender basis as that about the bill being
partisan measure. The financial end in
view is to restore the double standard
which existed from the foundation of the
Government until 1873. Whether silver was
demonetized by trick, as Senator Stewart
claims, or by fair vote after discu ssion,
the people have evidently made up their
minds that it shall be reinstated as a part
of the metallic money of the country. The
Tunes, which is an able and respectable
journal, falls into the error of supposing
that Wall street represents considerable
portion Of the American people. Wall

WHITE IN y NEW ROLE.

Stephen NJ White was warned the other
day by Senator Hearsts organ not to at
tempt the role of dictator. He is reminded
that the example that some of his predeces-
sors in Senatorial aspirations has set is not
good one for him to follow. Mr.. White is
re resented as so arbitrary in disposition
that rivals will not be allowed to exist if it
is in his power to crush them. In view of
the fact that Mr.. White is comparatively
poor man with no machine at his back, no
newspaper to sound his praise, no place on
Buckley's slate, no railroad with ten thou
sand employees to work for him and, in
short, nothing but little personal popu-
larity resulting from past service in the
ranks Of the Democratic party, the advice
has its humorous side. Possibly MI White
would like to play the role of dictator, but
be is not popularity supposed to have an
andue share Of the elements Of success
which contributed so materially to the ele-
walton Of the present Democratic Senator.

The Senate Finance Committee has i'm
posed duty of three-tenths of a cent a
pound on sugar under 16 Dutch standard
which the House bill made free. The
bounty of cents pound provided for in
the House bill is extended to maple sugar
with the provision that no bounty shall be
paid for less than 500 pounds. The duty on
refined sugar is TO be increased from four
tenths of cent to six-tenths of a cent a
pound. These changes are subject to the
action of the Senate and also to concessions
that may be made to come to an agreement
with the House The Senate committee
leaves the production of sugar from beets
depending upon the payment of bounty.
A duty of three-tenths Of cent a pound
will not enable the manufacturers of beet
sugar to compete with foreign sugar. The
trouble with the bounty is that no reliance
can be placed on its permanence. Either
house Of Congress may at any time refuse
to make an appropriation to cover the
bounty and thus abolish! it without the con-
currence necessary to make a change in the
tariff law. 1t remains to be seen if the re-
duction in the duty on foreign sugar will
lead to reduction in the price of sugar to
consumers. As the United States will be

BLYTHE'S VERACITY.
lis Bearing Upon the Contest
Over His Millions.

II. p. McKoon, for the Blythe company,
delivered his argument yesterday in reply
to L. a. Wheeler, counsel for the widow
He said the Blythe case stands in opposi-
ton to the general reputation of the de-
cedent, and must be regarded as an at
tempted impeachment OF his character for
truth, honesty and veracity.
Counsel for Alice Edith Blythe have
striyen to avoid inquiry as TO general repu-
tation, but the average intelligence draws
its conclusion. and that makes up what is
called general reputation" While eoun-
sci have succeeded in evading INQUIRY on
this score, yet the general reputation OF the
status of the decedent has been shown, not
by opinions, but by the statements of fact
under oath by those who met him in his
daily life from the beginning of his life in
California.
is there not ground" Mr.. McKoon
asked, I" for suspicion Of this or any claim
that is endeayored to be established against
the shadow of Blythe's daily life?' Our
contention is that the alleged declarations
and statements testified to on behalf of the
widow are overthrown by the general repu-
tatiOn of the decedent."
The necessity for counsel TOR the widow
proving the fact of her marriage on May 10,
1878, was pointed out, inaslnuch as the
| whole case focused upon her single upsup-
ported word. If the marriage did not take
place on the date mentioned it must never
have occurred. Therefore. the whole case
again turns on the yeracity Of Alice Edith
| Blythe.
E. Burke Holiday, representing the
| gypsy claimants, also delivered his argu-
ment in reply to +. a. Wheeler. He spoke
briefly and raised the point that the length
OF time between the marriage on May 19,
| 1878, and the time of the assumption in
| April, $780, was not sufficiently close to APP
| ply the consent of marriage of 1878 to the
act Of assumption of 1880. II the widow re-
lies on the act of assumption in 1880 she
must rely on new c0nSent-a repetition of
| the promise of May, 1878. The consent
mu ST be followed by the assumption of
marital rights and Obligations. and that was
not done. In fact, all the relations between
Alice Edith and Blythe from May 1875 and
April, 1850, were not matrimonial, but
meretriciOus.
Timothy j. Lyons, counsel for William
and David Savage, said in reply to Z. A.
Wheeler, that the institution of marriage
does not come from society, but society
comes from it. Marriage is the parent of
society, and it is supremacy important that
its stability shall be secured. Its contrac-
ton must be surrounded with safeguards
and its sanctty upheld. 1t is no longer
considered as altogether divine institu-
ton, but shares more or less its origin with
rules and customs of society.
Mr.. Lyons will conclude on Monday
morning next, and will be followed by l..
4. Buckley, who represents the London
claimant.
