WASHINGTON LETTEP,
(Foum Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington. D. C., March IT,
1S93.—Senator Gorman, who was
chairman of the caucus em: m it¬
tee that made the Senate com¬
mittee assignments, and theiviore
in a position to know whereof lie
speaks, said, I am reliably in¬
formed, to a personal friend:
“There has been a lot of nonsense
talked and printed about the po¬
sitions upon the prominent Sen¬
ate committees having been pur¬
posely arranged by the caucus
committee so as to be antagonis¬
tic to the President. There is ab¬
solutely no foundation for any
such statements. The assign
mentis of the old Senators were
made according to the well-known
precedents which have governed
Biich assignments ever since I
have been a member of the Sen¬
ate, and for many years before,
and of the new ones according, to
the best judgment of the commit¬
tee.“ Although Senator Gorman
did not intend his remarks for
publication, it is but justice to
him and the members of the com
miitee that the \ mould be made
P« -bo. i’lli - ."mous committee
had no au tv to say tlyit this
or that 1. mcratic Senator should
not have committee, positions to
which they were entitled by sen¬
iority, because of their views up¬
on this or that question, and had
it attempted such a thing its work
vv- ;l have been repudiated bv
the caucus, which had to approve
its report before it went into ef
fel l. It is only in republican pa¬
pers that there is any antagonism
bet veen President Cleveland and
th democratic Senators. No ad¬
ministration ever assumed office
with a more harmonious party at
it back than the present and nei
he President nor any prom

ment.
Democrats should be extremely
careful about accepting as true
statements concerning the inten
tentions of President Cleveland
which appears in republican pa¬
pers. A little consideration will
•onvmce them of the improbabil
ky of republican editors and
correspondents being taken
tko confidence of Mr.
A case in point was the
broadcast by republican
spondents, a few days ago. of
positive statement that
Cleveland bad said that
cratic editors need not apply
office, as lie had made up his mind
not to’appoint them. Now, Mr.
-Cleveland never said any such
thing, and the nearest

xh aocrat:. Mr. Cleveland
especial care that the first norm
of a no.-f master rent to tlie
Senate by,him should be fcluat of a
democratic editor—Mr. Robert B.
Brown, of Meadville Pa.
Tlie best evidence of the confi¬
dence of the business men of the
country in the democratic ad¬
ministration is furnished by the
steady increase of gold in the
Treasury, which began with the
swearing in of democratic officials
and has continued right along ev
‘er since.
Now that the crowd left here by
the ina iguration has almost en¬
tirely gone, the President and the
members of his cabinet will have
more time to devote to their of¬
ficial duties, and tiie result will
be a larger number of appoint¬
ments in the very near future.
As soon as all of the assistant
Secretaries in the various depart¬
ments are nominated and con¬
firmed, the applicants for position
under them will have a chance to
get their chums considered.
It is expected that the Commis¬
sioners-of Pensions will be ap¬
pointed before the first 01 April,
a: it is known that Mr Cleveland
is particular anxious for a speedy
ceange in that office.
The Empress Augusta’s Extravagance
It is not generally known that
the German Empress, in spite of
her many excellent qualities, is
very extravagant and owes large
sums of money to many of the
Berlin tradesmen, one firm alone
having a bill of 800,000 marks, or
£40,000, against Her Majesty,
The Empress never wears either
a dress, a mantle or bonnet the
second thing that time in public is and every¬
she buys of the very
best. It is all the more surprising
when it is recollected how ex¬
tremely simple her surroundings
were before her marriage'to Prince
Wilhelm of Prussia, and even
after her marriage, until her hus¬
band succeeded to the Empire.
The Emperor is also very largely
in debt in spite of the handsome
present made to him last spring
by the Empress Frederick, who
advanced him a million and a half
of marks.

There are nine 110-ton guns in

made with just sufficient hum or

A LiFE ENDOWMENT POLICY
~IW THfi
mm CENTRAL LIFE OSUR
MCE COMPANY
OF CINCINNATI,
is the best policy for the insured, be¬
cause it combines the constant pro¬
tection of ordinary life insurance at
ordinary rates with a profitable in¬
vestment which is better than gov¬
ernment 4 par cent. bonds. On this
plan the assured dees not‘'have io
die to win.” The entire premiums
on a policy of this kind remain with
the Company, and i>re invested at a
high rate of interest (between 7 and
8 par cent.) compounded, and when
the oreniiutns, with profit from all
sources, loss its share of losses
expenses, equal to the face of the
policy, it is payed to the assured, if
living, as an endowment. In case of
death at any time previously, it is
paid in full to the beneficiary. For
instance, the premiums on a Life
Rate Endowment Policy, taken at
age 35,twenty annual payments, will
according to the past experience of
the Company, cause the policy to
in about 22 years, in which
case it will be. paid in full to the as
sure d.
As the UNION CENTRAL real¬
izes the highest rate of interest on its
investments of any life company in
tne United Stales, and has a death
rate 'considerably below the average,
it will be seen why the above result
maybe reached in so short a time.
The difference in the am unt of
$1,000 at 5 per cent, and 7 per cent
compound interest, respectively, for
50 years is$17,990 in favor of the lat¬
ter. THE UNION CENTRAL av¬
erages over7 per cent, on ail its in¬
vestments, while the Eastern life
companies average about 51 per
cent.
SPECIAL REASONS
FOR INSURING IN
The Union Central Life.
1. Iris located in Ohio, which is
the only [State requiring an. official
examination of Its life companies to
be made annually.
2. Its funds are invested in the
most careful manner, in the safest
class of securities. More ti h i tiiree
fourths of its total assets* a i n

the balance not a dollar is, invested
in stocks or bonds, government
bonds excepted.
o. It is required by State law to
hold, for the protection of its policy
holders, n reserve fund unon the ba¬
sis of 4 per cent., the highest stand¬
ard known in the United States.
4. Its policies are nou-forfeitabk
und incontestable aider three annual
payments,
5. Its interest, receipts for several
war:: ha vs exceeded all death claims,
aatured endowments and taxes.
.inch a record has rarely, if ever,
been made.
b. It loans its money in the West
uid in Georgia, thereby giving its
policy-holders the benefit of a high
rate of interest.
7. Its stockholders by State law
are liable for double the amount of
their stock.
8. It issues Endowment policies
at Life rates, and results have proven
the plan to be the best ever adopted.
9. It pays its losses promptly and
without needless expense to the
claim unt.
10. Its Death Rate has for several
yearn been lower than that of any
ither lc" ling Company in the

icy-holders.
