uNsURING IWPAIREDIHyEs,


Those who most need the benefits of life
insurance are those who, under the pres
ent system of doing the business, cannot
have them Some British companies have
been trying the experiment of insuring
people not in good health, and it is said
that so far the experiment has not been q
fiat failure. Mr.. Sheppard Homans of New
York believes that such insurance can be
safely done. He would have new COM
pany formed. He would increase the in
surance portion of the premium and fix
the whole premium at a definite sum for a
limited period, say five years, at the end of
which time he would have new medical
examination; then if the insured had i'm
proved in health there should be a read
justment of premium on q lower basis,
while if the health was less robust an in
crease or cancellation of the pol
icy would follow. All Reinsurance
should be for similar limited periods, with
readjustment of premium to the end of life.
Mr.. Homans' plan further includes the
choice of risks from those rejected by COM
panies which shall be tributary to this new
one. These rejected risks would be con-
sidered primarily in regard to the ''moral
hazard" with the purpose of eliminating
all which are 10 any extent tainted with
fraud; then those made in good faith would
be classified and accepted, with premiums
and conditions of insurance in accordance
with their hazard
Mr.. Homans is good authority. Now
that discussion of the matter has started il
will doubtless be thoroughly investigated
and if the business can be safely done 1
company to do it will probably appear
1t would have business enough.

THE WFOR,, QUESTION.


Judge Halls decision in the East Lyme
case contains more than was apparent in
the first meagre reports of it. For in
stance, he says: Under the provisions of
this law, before the court can be asked to
ascertain and carry out the intentions of
the voter, the ballot itself must be first in
spected, and if it fails to conform in every
essential particular to the requirements of
the law it must be declared a nullity and
cannot be counted. do not mean to be
understood as saying or believing that a
mere imperfection in the paper on which
the official ballot is printed, or the acci-
dental displacement of type used in
printing the same; or.even the addition
of a word, running through the
entire official ballots of any political
party, and by means of which tech
nical Irregularities the ballots could
in no manner be identified or the
persons that cast them known, would void
the ballots, but if any of these defects
were of such nature as to make it possible,
by the use of such ballots, to defeat the
purposes of the law, then such defects
would and should vitiate such ballots.
This has an important bearing on the
'For" question. Apparently, in Judge
Halls opinion the addition of the word
would not void the ballots. Of course the
question will have to be decided by the
Supreme court, but Judge Halls words
are significant. Nobody supposes that the
''For' in question was used for purposes
of Identification or to assist corruptionists
1t was evidently a blunder, and though il
has made much trouble it may yet be de
clared harmless.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A-man writes to the Christian Advocate
that his pastor is "a true minister, man
of God-,more than that, man of brains"
Potato growing experiments in France
show that the crop from whole seed is
about seven hundred weight per acre more
than that from cut seed, allowing the
difference in weight between the two
sorts.
Woman has keen perception of the
fitness of things. A New York bride
was recently accompanied to the altar by
her pug dog, which aristocratic beast was
decked for the occasion in a white satin
bow with bunch of fresh orange blossoms
in his collar.
The meanest man has seen fit to reap

He lives in Buffalo. Two years ago
Christmas he purchased for his two-year-
old daughter little chair, painted red.
Last year he had the chair painted blue
and gave it to her as brand new Christ
mas gift. This year he had the chair gild-
ed over and again worked it off on the lit

A man who argues that one pound OF
tea makes 400 small or 300 ordinary sized
cups states his case as follows: Tea
testers ordinarily use silver 5-cent
piece for weighing the exact quantity
required for cup. AS there are about
| twenty-five 5-cent pieces to an ounce, and
j as there are sixteen ounces to pound, il
follows that one pound of tea will actual!
make 400 cups, ac Tding to the STANDARD
of strength ordinarily required by pro
fessional testers. The cups used for thi
purpose contain, however, one-fourth les
than the average domestic teacups. I
will therefore be seen that after maxim
due allowance for the difference in the siz
of the cups the number will be very clos
to 300. ~

intellectual young women, has become a
school teacher.
If present indications are realized we
shall not have to depend upon Mexico for
onyx. Says ]. Miller, of Prescott, Ari-
zona. Until recently most of the onyx
has been mined in Mexico. Two valuable
onyx mines have been found in Arizona.
Both are located southwest of the city of
Prescott. Unlike the onyx mines of Mex
leo the Arizona onyx is capable of high
degree of polish. Then the Mexican onyx
has many flaws which must be filed by
the lapidary with kind of cement made
from the dust that is formed in the pro-
cess of polishing the stones. Ihave secured
tract of land containing 900 acres, which
l am confident will develop into the richest
onyx mine in the world. The other Ari-
zona onyx mine is located about ten miles
from my mine. Both are number of
miles southeast of Prescott.
The Charleston News and Courier seems
occasionally inclined to do the fair thing,
but it can always be depended on to help
suppress the negro vote. 1t now says:
We would suggest that, even if the force
bill be passed, the electoral vote of South
Carolina can be preserved to the Demo
cratic party, and that Governor Tillman
cannot do wiser thing than to send a
message to the general assembly recon-
mending that the polling place for presi-
Dental electors be separated from the con-
gressional polling place, and that ballot
box be provided for presidential electors
at the polling place for state and county
officers. 1t is entirely within the power
of the general assembly to amend the cleo
ton law as to remove the danger of sacri-
fcing the electoral vote of South Carolina
in 1892.

The sentimental and superstitious who
are given to tracing the laws of coinci-
dences will find an interesting subject for
their attention in the recent death of
jeweler in Bucyrus, o. For many years it
has been the office of slzillful German
watchman named Frank Kehrer to attend
to the town clock. During the past few
months the health of Mr.. Kehrer has been
poor, and the clock, deprived of his careful
attention, has been keeping indifferent
time. One Monday morning recently the
timepiece struck and a few minutes later
it stopped. Early risers who heard the
chime affirm that there was something in
describably wierd and peculiar about 1t.

THE NONTEVIDEO PANIC.

The financial panic in MontevideO is largely
a sympathetic movement induced by the dis
orders in the Argentine exchanges. it has,
however been stimulated by the adoption of
the ceduIa, or land mortgage system, which
has contributed to aggravate in BuenOs Ayres
the evils of an inflated currency. That system
was the subject of exciting debate in the Ma
tional Legislature last January, but was finally
sanctioned, notwithstanding the protests of a
powerful minority. The attempt to legalize
the issue of cedula notes to the extent OF
500. OOO, 900 has induced run on the banks,
the suspension of specie payments by the Ma
tional Bank, and the PRONUNCIATION of a forced
currency for six months. The fact that the
Government guarantees in gold the payment
of the cedulas, the issues of the bank and the
national debt has not restored public confidence.
What it is necessary to do in order to inspire
faith in a currency which has been on a par
with gold but is now heavily deprecated is
to convince Uruguayans of the Governments
ability to meet all engagements in gold at the
end of six months. This cannot be done by
the issue of an arbitrary decree legalizing fiat
currency.
Uruguay until this panic occurred was the
only country Ill South America on the gold
basis BY the unifcation of the public debt
effected in London during 1883 an equilibrium
was established between national income and
expenditures, and with a substantial improve
ment in administration under President Tales
specie payments were resumed. The country
has made great strides in material progress
during the decade, and the pacific election of
a President last March without military inter-
vention or Executive dictation seemed to
Justify popular hopes OF the opening of new
era of political regeneration. The oedua fever
has brought on serious financial disorders.
These issues of land mortgages to which the
credit of Government is pledged were desired
Improperly Owners because the effect of the
system had been To raise the valuations of land
in the Argentine, and to promote real estate
speculations The immediate effect of the
new law has been the abandonment of specie
resumption with consequent financial disorders.
