Waiting for a Battle.

An old soldier describes the peculiar
feelings usually experienced Just before
going into battle, us follows:
lit would be difficult to convey to the
mind of M ordinary reader anything
like IA correct notion of the state OF feel
ing which takes possession of n man
waiting Tor the commencement of bat
tie. In the first place, time appears to
move on leaden wings; every minute
seems an hour, and every hour day.
Then there is strange commingling of
levity and seriousness within him, a
levity which prompts him to laugh, he
knows not why, and n seriousness which
urges him ever and anow to lift up n
mental prayer to the throne of grace
On such occasions, little or no coversa-
ton posses. The privates generally lean
on their firelocks, the officers on their
swords; and few words, except mono
syllables in reply to questions put, are
spoken.
On these occasions, too, the faces of
the bravest often change their color, aud
the limbs of the most resolute tremble,
not with fear, but with anxiety; whits
watches are consulted, till the indivd-
uals who consult them grow absolutely
weary of employment. On the whole
ii is n situation of higher excitement and
darker and deeper agitation than any
other in human life; nor can he be said
to feel all that man il capable of feeling
who has not felt it,"

Demand for Three Per Cents

The forthcoming 8 per cent United States
bonds are now being bid for by brokers at

BILE magnitude for the delivery of the bonds
when issued" have been made at this
figure. The issue price having been par,
says the New York Post these sales repre-
sent an advance of per cent even be-
fore the bonds are in the hands of the
successful small subscribers. The demand
appears to come from institutions wishing
to reinvest their semi-annual income and
In d considerable degree from banks plan
ming to use the bonds as basis for in
creased circulation. 1t has been common
ly believed that this use Of the new gov
eminent bonds for purposes of bank note
issues would very considerably expand the
money circulation of the nation. Such was
manifestly the result of the bond issues
during the civil war, when the supply of
national bank notes rose from $31, 235, 900 in
the middle of 1864 to $2S1, AIS, 900 two years
later, and to 1854 40S, 900 in 1875, when the
bond conversion operations had caused
very general shifting in the ownership of
the governments bonded debt.

OFFICE OF THE HERALD,
Los Angeles, Aug. 2, 1898.

Los Angeles, AUG. z, 1878.
The regulation of assessment insurance
companies is giving some state officials
much concern. The inadequacy of the laws
governing these institutions has caused
more or less confusion. and now that some
are offering policies with limited pay
ment," level premium and surrender
value" features 1t is urged that they be
required to collect such premiums as will
make possible the carrying out of all prom
ises made 10 policy holders. In a recent Is
sue of The Herald a quotation was made
from the annual report of James r. B. Van
Cleave, Insurance Superintendent of Il
linois to Governor Tanner, and further
extract is here added. The Superintendent
says he believes that the law should be so
amended to clearly define, upon a cor
rect business and insurance basis, the con-
dition of sovency which must exist to en-
able assessment association TO carry on
its business in that state, that the inter-
ests of policy holders who choose this kind
of insurance may be properly guarded and
protected. Wise provisions of law, clear
and positive in their terms, have been en-
acted for the piDtecton of holders of poll
cies of other classes of insurance. The law
should furnish equal safeguards to holders
of assessment insurance policies, and
should empower the superintendent to
withhold or cancel the authority OF an as
sociation which is unable to meet the test
of solvency 80 established.
Such amendment is the more needed be-
cause many associations are now issuing
policies very similar in their terms, condi-
tons and provisions to the policies of the
regular reserve life insurance companies
policies for level premiums through life
with the assurance given by agents and
put forth in circulars and advertisements
that no additional premium payments will
be needed, and policies giving options of
cash surrender values and paid-up or ex-
law should be such as to require the col
lection of adequate premiums to carry out
the promises made and prevent the diver
sion of these overpayments from the pur-
pose for which they were collected. Regu-
lative measures of this character would not
injure any association which is entitled to
live and receive the confidence and patron
age of the public, but would be in the
line Of better protecting the interest of the
large number of our citizens who prefer
this kind of insurance, and would protect
the worthy associations which are seek
ing to conduct their affairs on an intelli-
bent business basis, and to put into prac
tice those insurance principles essential
to success.

Policy Liens

1t is said that the scale Of liens on poll
cies issued under the natural premium plan
by the National Life Association of Hart
ford has been found insufficient. Policy
holders have accordingly been notified that
to avoid making assessments the amount
of the lien on policies must be increased.
II the policy holder consents to the in
crease. the lien can remain at per cent
interest. instead of at 8 per cent. 1t is said
that the lien is increased from about %
per cent. In the case of the younger policy
holders, to so per cent among those of ad-
vanced age.
The scale of liens was adopted by the
company several years ago. According to
the original plan each policy had a loading
or lien Qn addition to the premium) bear
ing interest at the rate of per cent, which
unless paid or Cancelled by dividends was
deducted at maturity of the policy. 1t was
stipulated that members might be as
sessed per cent of the face of the policy
in the event of the company requiring 1t.
