EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Mahometan Society of Hyderabad is
about to send missionaries to the United
States. They will find enough to do here.
Illinois is generally supposed to be well
settled and highly civilized, but the last
report of the State superintendent of edu-
cation shows that there are still in that

Blind Tom, the pianist, is hopelessly and
dangerously insane in private asylum in
New York city He earned during his
public career about $5OO,O0O for Colonel
Bethune, but there is a prospect that un-
less he dies soon he will end his days in
the almshouse.
Of late years Tolstoi, the great Russian
novelist and social reformer, has worked
as farm laborer on his estate, and more
recently he undertook the duties of shep-
herd for his neighborhood. But his habit
of not leaving his bed until II o'clock in
the morning did not suit the peasants
whose sheep he was supposed to have care
of, and they have compelled him to resign
his charge.
The city of New Orleans is making an
effort to collect taxes on the earnings of
the Louisiana Lottery company for the %
years it has been doing business. In this
connection a statement has been brought
out which goes to show that the receipts
of the daily drawings have paid all the ex-
penses of the company, leaving the net re-
ceipts of the monthly drawings clear
profit. This has amounted to $4,000, 900
year.
It cannot be denied, says Governor Bur-
leigh of Maine in his annual message, ''that
the law for the suppression of the liquor
traffic is violated and that officials charged
with its enforcement are frequently derelict
in duty" this being true chiefly of the
Settles and larger villages" The governor
thus suggests the only remedy he can think
of: "When the sentiment against the
liquor traffic is as universal and emphatic
as against other forms of crimes, the vio-
lations of the rrohibitory law will be no
more numerous han those of other penal
enactments"
The Social Democratic Song Book was
suppressed in Germany during the recent
period of repression, but when the anti
socialistic law expired it was thrown on

thirsty exhortations that the workingme1

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.

One thing connected with the guberna-
torial complication is becoming very ap-
parent, and that is that the people do not
approve of the maneuvering that is going
on at Hartford. To be sure, 'tthe people"
may not know all about the law, but they
can see that those who do or ought to
know about it are not paying very strict
attention to it. They can see, too, that
the contest has not been of very lofty
and dignifed nature, and they look upon
the performance of the pretenders the
other day as decidedly unworthy of those
who engaged in it.
This State has been called the land of
steady habits, and having earned such a
reputation the people are not willing to
lose it. For $50 years the general assembly
has done its work decently and in order.
1t has acted with proper regard for the
dignity of the State and for its own dig
nifty. This year, under the stress of a
novel and perplexing condition of affairs,
and under the pressure of partisanship,
it has not shown such disposition as the
PSopAo "oulO lAhO W oCO. 1U Ao5 1OO1Cu
with serious matters and spent it's time in
maneuvering to make ''points" which are
of very doubtful value when made.
The people realize that unless there is a
change no real progress can be mado to-
ward settling the questions that have
arisen, and they are decidedly opposed to
a continuance of the proceedings that have
already lowered the dignity of the State.
It is of little use to inquire whether the
Republicans or Democrats are at fault.
What is wanted is fair and honest treat
ment of the matters in dispute. We re-
new our suggestion that the two branches
of the legislature concur in laying all the
questions before the Supreme court and go
about the business of lawmaking while the
court is considering them. This is the
best way out of the difficulty. In fact it
is the only way that will satisfy the people.

As m LOOKS IN ENGLAND.

People in this country can learn some-
thing from speech made by J. H. Rogers
of the South Wales Tin Plate works to his
men at Llanelly, Wales, the other day on
his return from an extended visit to Amer
lea. Mr.. Rogers first alluded to the fact
that the long-dreaded tariff bill had become
a law, but hardly had the blow been
struck by the ultra-protectionist of
America, when, at the elections following,
it rebounded, and the Mckinley party
were defeated at the polls, foreshadowing
a reversal of the tactics of the party now
in Office at no very distant date. This
turn of events, Mr.. Rogers says, has fright
ened the manufacturers on the other side
of the Atlantic from proceeding to carry
out their extensive schemes of tin-plate
making Some of these sr.lemes included
the erection of works containing 20, 30,
and even 40 mills, but so far as he under
stood, the schemes were given up as soon
as it was seen that the people were not in
favor of the Mckinley bill. Mr.. Rogers
said he had very little doubt that if the
election had not resulted in such an over
whelming Democratic majority, they
would soon be sending very few tin plates
from their country to America.
This indicates what good many Eng
lishmen think of the protective policy of
this country. The London Ironmongers'
Journal said recently: We do not stand
forward as the champions of protection,
but with our markets closing, our indus
tries languishing and our capital fleeing,
we ask, is it not time to review the COM
mercial policy of the past, and after care
full and unbiased consideration, nothing
e1tenuating nor setting down aught in
malice" to determine the commercial
policy of England for the future in view
of circumstances not as they have existed,
or as they ought to exist, but as they, as
matter of hard fact, do exist at the pres

greasy pastry is alike disagreeable to the

Why cannot some person with heart of
sympathy for the suffering, who wishes
"to do good and make money" open such
a restaurant in this goodly town? With

appointments, dainty though not costly

cooked, properly served health foods, the
"Hygeia," as it might appropriately be
named, would never lack customers.
There would "good digestion wait on
appetite and health on BOTH" and the
ranks of the cheerful optimists
would be largely recruited by those now
made gloomy and Respondent by daily
food, which not only does not satisfy but
is entirely hurtful in its effect.

vestment policy" "bond," &c. For illus

policy, with no dividends until the end of

THE ESTIMATED ADVANTAGE.

Take a'man aged 80, insuring for s10,-
600; he is to pay 20 premiums of $496
each. The policy contract is to pay him
SO, 600 if he lives and keeps up his policy
through the twenty years. But the COM
panies "estimate" that by leaving all his
savings and interest earnings with them
all that time, they may pay him an addi-
tional 81, ,060: or a total of ST 7,060, which
would be equivalene to compounding his
payment at 4.92 per cent.
HOW CAN THEY DO IT AND PAY EXPENSES
This rate of interest, 4.92 per cent, is
more than the average rate these compan-
les are now earning on their assets. But,
aside from that fact, the expenses of the
business and the death losses have first to
be paid.
In these particular companies, the ex-
pense ratio is about 20 per cent, or one
fifth of their entire income. Out of every
dollar of premium and every dollar of
interest, twenty cents is taken for ex-
penses, leaving only eighty cents of each
| to pay losses and provide the final pay
ment. That is, out of each premium Of
$496 those companies can use for the full
| fllment of their contract and sestimatef
only $396. .80 This would have to be com
pounded at 6.83 per cent. to produce the
estimated 81, ,O60, if no expenses cam.
out of the interest; but one-ffth of that
goes to expenses also, so that to realiz.
the $4,000 and pay expenses, the pre-
! miums must be compounded at 8.G PEI
cent, or greatly more than the rate the,
are now earning.
Morning journal and courier., 1891-01-17
HOW MUcH CAN THEY DO :

These companies, under present condi-
hons, can hardly hope to decrease their
expense account OF to earn more than
per cent. interest on their assets for the
next twenty years. Assuming that they
are certain to earn that much, and taking
out 20 per cent. of premiums and of inter
est for expenses, and providing for ex-
pected losses, the result at the end of the
Investment period" would be Just SIC, ,817
instead of the Estimated" 81, ,O60, a
shrinkage Of 81, ,243; result not equal to
the premiums compounded at per cent.
In what sense can this be called profta-

which has crowned this year now drawing to o
close that its helpful and reassuring
touch has been felt by all our people.
1t has been as wide as our country,
and so special that every home has felt its
comforting in fuence. 1t is too great to be the
work Of mans power and too particular TO be
the device of his mind. To God, the benef
men to be fruitful, redeems their losses by His
grace and the measure OF whose giving is as
much beyond the thoughts of man us IL is be-
yond his deserts the praise and gratitude Of
this favored nation are justly due.
Now, therefore /, Benjamin Harrison, presi.
dent OF the United States of America, do here.
by appoint Thursday, the Goth day OF Novem-
ber present, to be day of joyful thanksgiving
to God for the bounties OF His providence, for
the peace in which We are permitted
to enjoy them, and for the preservation
of those institutions Of civil and religious
liberty which He gave our fathers the
wisdom 10 devise and establish, and us the
courage to preserve. Among the appropriate
observances OF the day are rest from toll. wor-
ship in the public congregation, the renewal of
family ties about our American firesides, and
thoughtful helpfuness towards those who
suffer lack of the body or OF the spirit.

New YORK, Nov. 1s.--Reports from
Beunos Ayres say that the great storm
of last Friday which passed over the
province of Santc Fe destroyed tho
town of Arroyo Seco. The number of
deaths is reported to be ten and
wounded seventy.
A Train Blown Over.
A train of eighteen coaches was at
the station when the tornado swept
through the town. The entire
train was overturned and many
of the passengers were buried in
the wreck. The details Of the dis
aster are meager. All the telegraph
wires are down in consequence of the
storm. There is much damage to crops
throughout the entire province of
Santa Fe, which is situated on the left
of the Parana river and has an area of
about IS, 1000 square miles and popula-
tion of about 100, 900.
Other villages Destroyed.
Besides Arroyo Seco several other
villages in the vicinity of Rosario were
destroyed Wind and hail played
havoc with the crops throughout the
province. The losses, it is said, will
mount up into millions of dollars.

recently vice president and manager of
the Bank of MADEIRA, is short in his ac-
counts to the amount of nearly 500, :
900. Baird organized the Bank of Ma
dera and what is known as the John
Brown colony. Some residents of
MADEIRA became stockholders and di-
rectors The capital stock of the
bank was 100000, with paid up
capital of $3.50 Baird began using
the money for enlarging his private
schemes that colonists sent for improv-
ing their lands. AS losses grew Baird
began issuing forged notes and over
issuing stock, to which he forged the
signature of Mr.. Roberts, wealthy
resident of MADEIRA and president of
the bank. He has made slight restitu-
tion and large promises, but as yet no
arrests have followed.
