CUTTING OFF TWO YEARS.

Company to Recover Value

According TO an opinion by Attorney
General Haskell the county auditors elected

years instead OF four. as fixed by tho last
legislative assembly. Auditor French. Of
Lewis and Clarke county brought ths mat
tor before the attorney general yesterday
who replied ss he did In the case Of Auditor

fused TO give Mr.. Winters . certificate Of

q for two years.. The legislature. At it,
second session, created the office Of county
auditor for ali counties In the state which
At that time or thereafter should have = to-
tai asssssmsnt Of not less than $8.0O0.0O0
and provided that auditors should DO elected
every four yeas. Tho attorney general
holds that the act OF the legislature provid-
ing for = four year term 10 in conflict with
the provisions Of section 6. article
1G. Of the constitution which 10
as follows: 'Ses. 6. The legislative

Der last begins on the first Monday in

Monday in January, 1895. The counties
which elected auditors are Cascade. Dee,

With these examples before us the follow.
Ing interesting facts arc apparent:
First: that during, the ten years ending
with 1881. the New York Life. uYon an Or
binary life policy for $4,000, age 40. ten
year t~ontine, earned in surplus 81, 1886. 1S.
Second. that during the ten years ending
1892, upon a policy precisely similar, the
surplus earned by that company was only
$838. So. a "fallinR off, of $685. 81. or 40
per csnt.
Third, that during the ten years ending
1892 the Northwestern earned UPON a pre-
cisely similar policy a surplus of 81. 295. 80,
which Is $456. AZ. or 81 per cent in excess OF
the earnings of the New York Life for the
same period.
Fourth, that probably the reason assigned
in the letter from the New York Life
quoted above, viz, hat tho rate of
intsr est is less than half" that formerly
realized by that company, the surplus earn
in9s Of the New York Life have decllned
over 40 per cent during the last ten years.
The foregoing examples show that the
the Northwestern over that of the New
York Life is ns marked in the results upon
,tontine policies as 1t has always been upon
those receiving annual dividends, and that
the accumulation for a term of years of
dividends two and one-half times as la. &c
must produce a total two and one-haif
times % great.
The letter Of Mr.. Hill furnishes evidence
that the author of tho com parison quoted
at the beginning of this article knew that
it was misleading, and that no comparison
is possible of the earnings of two policies
having a difference of ten years in date of
maturity of their tontine periods;'' that the
agents of the New York Life who use il
know that 1t is deceptive, and, "a the com
parison IL evidently issued with the knowl-
edge OF that company and circulated BY it,
agents. although the real saots must be
known to them, the conclusion il inevitable
that in order to secure business in compe-
tition with the Northwestern the agents of
the Now York Life find it necessary not
only to periodically present some new
scheme OF insurance like a "Guaranteed
Interest ~ Bond" or 'Distribution Pol
ICY" cunninKly devised 80 Rs TO

doing So" but also to distort the I, nth aud

Northwestetn and the New York Life can
be readily asoertainsd by consulting
any one who holds policies in both com

Of her. She is pleasant, lady-like looking
person, who makes a favorable impression On
anyone who sees her.
She dresses very fine, as all Spaniards do who
can afford it. That is national mania. Yet
her home life is commendable. 1t is unosten-
tious, and il is only in State pageants and
royal journeys that any great display is made.
Then there is such an accompaniment of
courtiers, military and the like, as is un-
known in plain republics. She lives most of
the time in the magnificent palace at Madrid.
This last Autumn was an exception, as she
was obliged to attend so many Columbus cele.
brations. SO much moving about did not agree

that lac became i'll. Even during the Winter
months the Queen resides in the palace and
Madrid is one of the coolest cities in Eu.
rope, with the exception of st. Petersburg.
This dynasty has had its vicissitudes. The
mother of the late and grandmother of the
present King, after ruling over 80 years, was
compelled TO fee She is still living, and re.
sides part of the time in Spain. 1t is another
illustration of the saying that uneasy is the
head that wears the crown. Then another
King had a short tenure OF Office a short-lived

was in 1886.
