WASHINGTON LETTEF.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C., March 24,
1893.—President Cleveland has
done no more popular thing since
he assumed his high office than
when he ‘’jumped on,” to use a
bit of expressive slang, the head
of the slimy serpent, nepotism,
which had started to wriggling
around entirely too promiscuous¬
ly. Pie first took occasion to in¬
form a distinguished southern
Senator who appointed his son to
be Clerk of the Senate committee
of which he was lately made
chairman, that in consequence of
that appointment, indicating a
desire to look out for his personal
and family interests first of all,
his recommendations had been
much weakened: Next, he took
a western Congressman’s breath
away, when as a clinching argu¬
ment in favor of the appointment
to an ofiue of one of his constitu¬
ents he said : “And he is a relat¬
ive of yours, Mr. President,” by
saying: “That settles it. No re¬
lative of mine shall be appointed
to office by me.” He then gave
that Congressman a short but
comprehensive lesson on the evils
ojHtiepotism, which it is safe to
say, iie will never forget if he
lives a century. It is also safe to
say that the head of the aforesaid
slimy serpent will not be reared
in any of the executive depart¬
ments of the Government for four
years to come, till of which is a
decided gain for the country.
The executive department s are
being pul upon a democratic basis
as rapidly as possible, and repub¬
lican chiefs of bureaux and divis¬
ions are being succeeded by dem¬
ocrats as fast as the heads of the
departments can select the new
-officials. Democratic economy is
also being put into practical op¬
eration. Following Secretary
Morton’s order dismissing all of
the superfluous employes of the
department of Agriculture, came
an order from Secretary Carlisle
to the division chiefs of the Treas¬
ury department, ordering the im¬
mediate dismissal of every em¬
ploye not absolutely essential to
keep up the work of the depart¬
ment. The democratic adminis¬
tration was voted into power to
reduce the extravagant expendi¬
tures of the Government, and ev¬
ery member of it is fully deter
mined that the wishes of the vot¬
ers shall be carried out to the let¬
ter.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Maxwell, the gentleman
who will wield the axe made fam¬
ous by Vice President Stevenson,
is on deck and already hard at
work. There are several thous¬
and resignations of fourth-class
postmasters on hand, and these
will be disposed of before he be¬
gins the work of removing repub¬
lican postmasters.
gpeaking of postmasters, P. M.
G. Bissell stated to a delegation
of Missouri Congressmen that the
policy of the department concern
ing appointments had been mis¬
represented by a certain class of
newspapers. In the first place it
had been stated by tiiese news
papers that the recommendation
of Congress would count for noth¬
ing. As a refutation of that state¬
ment the fact was pointed out
that not a single postmaster had
yet been appointed who ’did not
have the endorsement of his Con¬
gressman. While not dis* o.sed to
ignore the Congressmen, Mr. Bis¬
sell said that the question of who
should be postmaster should, in a
measure at least, be decided by
tiie people of the locality, who
were more directly interested
than anyone else, and that the
wishes of the people, when, ex
would ,be c6n-
sidered in making the appoint¬
ments. Nobody is to be ignored;
what the department wants is the
co-operation of both the people
and the Congressmen in the selec¬
tion of such postmasters as will
increase the efficiency of the pos¬
tal service. Mr. Bissell also de¬
nounced as false the statements
that women and editors are to be
discriminated against in the se¬
lection of postmasters.
The number of nominations
sent to the Senate this week is
considered ahead of any other
single week. There have neces¬
sarily been some personal disap¬
pointments, but with the excep¬
tion of the nominations of Burke
and Hawkins to be l T . 8. Attor¬
ney and Marshal for Indiana, ov¬
er which there was a little flurry,
no adverse criticisms have been
of any of them by democrats.
The democratic caucus decided
to elect the officers of the Senate
at the present extra session, and
nominated ex-Congressman E. M.
R. Cox, of North Carolina, for
Secretary, II. J. Bright, of Indi¬
ana, for Sergeant,-at-Arms and
Rev. W. H. Milburn. the blind
preacher who has been Chaplain
the House for several,terms, for
Chaplain. The republicans threat
to resort to fl Hi blistering to
prevent an election of these offi¬
but it is believed that they
only making a bluli to enable
them to keep as many repub¬
licans in the subordinate posi¬
tions as possible.
Senator Harris, of Tennessee,
has been elected president pro
tempore of the Senate, but as
Trepidant Stevenson gives
of his intention to stick
more closely to his duties than
his predecessors have usually done
he will not be called on to preside
over the Senate very often. So
he will enjoy the honor, which is
fully deserved, without having to
do much extra work. There is no
in the report that Senator
Harris and the President had

A LIFE ENDOWMENT POLICY
-IX THE—
USIOS CENTRAL LIFE INSUR¬
ANCE COMPANY
OF CINCINNATI.
fs 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 -i per cent, bonds. On this
plan the assured does not ‘‘have to
die to win.’’ The entire premiums
on a policy of this kind remain with
the Company, and are invested at a
high rate of interest (between 7 and
8 per cent.) compounded, and when
the premiums, with profit from all
sources, less its share of losses and
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 So,twenty annual payments, will
according to the past experience of
iiie Company, cause the policy to
mature in about 22 years, in which
case it will be paid in full to the as¬
sured
As the UNION CENTRAL real¬
izes the highest rate of interest on its
investments of any life company in
tne United Estates, and has a death
rate considerably below the average,
it will he seen why the above result
may be reached in so short a time.
The difference in the am unt of
$1,000 at o per cent, and 7 per cent
compound interest, respectively, for
o0 years is $17,990 in favor of the lat¬
ter. THE UNION CENTRAL av¬
erages over 7 per cent, on all its in¬
vestments, while the Eastern life
companies average about per
cent.
SPECIAL REASONS
FOR INSURING IN
The Union Central I/ife.
1. It is 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 than three
fourths of its total asset fs a in
vested in real estate securities'. Of
the balance not a dollar is " invested
in stocks or bonds, government
bonds excepted.
S. It is required by State law to
hold, for the protection of its policy¬
holders, a reserve fund uuontlie ba¬
sis,of-1 per cent., the highest stand¬
ard known in the United States.
4. Its policies are nou-forfeitablfe
and incontestable after three annual
payments,
5. Its interest receipts for several
vearrj have exceeded all death claims,
■matured endowments and taxes,
•kicli a record has rarely, if ever,
'■'ecu made.
ti. Jt loans Its money in the West
tnd 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 >»fock.
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 tiie
claimant.
It). Its Death Rate has for several
years been lower than that of any
itlier leading Company in the
J cited States.
It divider. ps profits among
icy-holders.
