We are often asked how can the North
western Mutual Life Insurance Company
pay larger dividends than other compa.
MES, on similar policies in the same COM
munity, and st.ll accumulate a larger
surplus per 81 900 insureds'
We can only give three reasons
We add the indisputable fact that we
do it.
We do pay larger dividends, hence we
do sell insurance at lower cost and we
have accumulated larger surplus in
proportion to liabilities.
We expect to keep on doing it.
Cost depends on dividends
Dividends depend CT savings.
Savings derend on management.
That the Northwestern does save more
for its members, does pay larger dvi.
dends and Hoes insure at lower cost
than other companies, is the ndisputable
fact of today.

bryan ana the philippines.

In taking a stand against retaining per-
manent possession of the Philippine is
lands in his speech at the opening of the
Omaha exposition Mr.. Bryan displayed
genuine craftsmanship. He has never
been wholly satisfactory as the advocate
of free silver coinage at the ratio of 16 to
/, because neither he nor any one else has
ever been able to show that il the 16 90 1
idea were adopted the silyer-dollar would
circulate on a parity with the gold dollar.
The assertion that 1t would was so much
like demagogy that the country refused TO
follow Mr.. Bryan in the last Presidential
election. But there is no doubt that Mr..
Bryan was right when he said, In speak
ing of the war with Spain, in his Omaha
speech: IF a contest undertaken for the
sake Of humanity degenerates into war
of conquest we shall find it difficult TO
meet the charge of having added hypoc-
risy to greed. Is our national character 50
weak that we cannot withstand the temp
tation to appropriate the first piece of
land that comes within our reach?
ITO inhict upon the enemy all possible
harm is legitimate warfare, but shall we
Of the Orient merely because our fleet won
a remarkable victory in the harbor Of Ma
Mia?
"Our guns destroyed a Spanish fleet, but
can they destroy that self evident truth
that governments derive their just powers
not from force-but from the consent of
the governed?
Shall we abandon a just resistance to
European encroaehment upon the Western
hemisphere, in order to mngle in the con-
troversies of Europe and Asia?"
There is going to be an extraordinary eff
fort to make our war with Spain a war of
conquest There was no thought of terri
torial acquisition when the resolution de-
manding Spain's withdrawal from Cuba
was passed by Congress. Then it was to be
a war for humanitys sake. The battle of
Manila has wrought a great change. Now
we hear, OF AN imperial foreign policy-a
policy which means colonies, a big army
and powerful navy, and possessions in
the West Indies and in the far East. We
shall have taken the first step in the di-
rection of this new policy as soon as Con-
gress passes the resolution annexing the
Hawaiian islands. The House has already
passed that resolution, and the Senate will
no doubt do so.
Mr.. Bryan sounds a warning note which
Democrats should heed. Let him drop the
silver issue, which now properly belongs
to the past and devote his time to holding
his party together against this new policy
in respect to foreign affairs-a policy which
would bava a tendency not oplv to obonoa
the character of our Institutions, but would
introduce into our politics questions of an
extremely disturbing character.

The morning news., 1898-06-17

Some time ago a bin was introduced into
Congress admitting to American registry
such vessels as the government might
want as transports in the war with Spain,
but for some unaccountable reason it has
been pigeon-holed-at least. it has not
passed, and nothing has been heard of
it since it was introduced. In the mean
time the government hasn't been able to
get all the transports it wants for the
transportation of troops and supplies to
Porto Rico.
There are only a few American steam
ships to be had and the owners of them
refuse to lease them. They want to sell
them, but at prices which would help to
bankrupt the treasury. The owners Of
these ships want about twice as much as
they are worth. The government has re-
fused to pay the prices demanded, and,
hence, the assistant depot quartermaster,
Maj. Summerville, has been trying in vain
at New York, for more than two weeks, to
charter fifteen large steamers. He has
succeeded in getting only two and they
are not exactly what the government
wants.
Maj. Summerville is quoted as saying
that he could obtain plenty of British
steamers of the kind wanted at reason
able prices. but such steamers would have
to have American registry. They cannot
get 1t on account of our absurd and anti
quated navigation laws. A special act
is necessary to admit them to American
registry.
But why is 1t that a special act is not
passed? Who is 1t that is holding up the
bill that would enable the government 10
get all the steamers it needs at a reason
able price? Is it some one who is inter-
| ested in forcing the government to pay
a great deal more for ships having Amer
ican registry than they are worth? There
ought to be investigation of this matter
at once. If there are brigands who are
trying to rob the government the fact
ought to be known and their names pub
lished.

Castles in America.

The Counts de Dos Toros and Hijo

Theodore Roberts in the Criterion.

He blew a thin thread of smoke from
his lips and watched il curl upward to-
ward the armorial bearings over the fire
place. Count Hijo Grande sighed, holding
his claret glass to the IGN.
Il, too, have asked a like favor of his

HOW Admirn1 nemex WON.

When the news of Dewey's victory
reached Pennyroyal. in Ross county, Ohio,
and that was not many days ago. it caused
no excitement ana there was no cele-
brations of any kind, but on Saturday
night John Bridges store was crowded
