The baneful effects of the Hobson kiss ar* again apparent. At Chicago, while th* President was receiving, an v enthusiastic girl, Who proclaimed her* self a "Democrat," told Mr. McKinley that she "loved him and would like to kit* him." Tho crowd relieved the President of bi* embarrassment by sweeping the girl along before it, and her desire remain* ungratified. Too Late to Arbitrate. There should have bsen no peaoe protocol, and no peace commission. The w«r sbopid have been brought to an end with a treaty of peace, stating all of the terms plainly, say* the Sa vannah New*. Having no alternative, Spain would have signed such a treaty as readily as she signed the protocol. However, all of that is of the past. > Spain may tegard the protocol anc the oommission as concessions to her if she llhee, but if she is expecting still further concessions, in the w*y of submitting to arbitration point* which ■ may be disputed between her com missioners and those ol the United States, she Is doomed to disappoint ment. .f, 1 The refusal of the American com wiesioner* to consider proposals to arbitral* radical difference* has aroused adverse comment on the part of the Pari* press and has caused the Spanish commissioners to send to Madrid for new instruction*. But the effect upon the American commiMioo er* will be nil. Their position will have the support of their own govern ment and people. The time for arbitration is past. Th* United States might have acceded to auch a proposition before the war, when they requested Spain to put an end to the horrors of her war in Cuba At that Aime, however, Spain said she was attending to her own business in her own way, and that she would continue to do sothat she had noth ing to arbitrate. Now the United States -re attending to their business, of granting peace to Spain, and they will follow their own inclinations in the matter. It is reasonable to assume from the recent speeches of the President and from other evidence*, that tbe minds of tbe President and his advisers re specting the terms of peace with Spain have already been made up. It has been determined what demands will be made upon Spain—whether she will have to give up the Philippines a* well as Cuba and Porto Rico—and Spain must accept tbe determination. There ia nothing else for her to do. There ia nothing to arbitrate.

It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banka, of Connecticut, the particulars olwSi are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: „ Mr. Bank*was Insured for • M The dividends amounted to • ‘ _ Paid to the estate f 17,028.00 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiuma m cash, ana he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,283. Issued March 5,1845. Age 40. Annual premium, |l6O. Life run. Original insurance in 1845, - • Dividend additions paid in Amount of death claim raa’iS 54 Premiums paid by insured ‘ ’ * *" Realized to estate over premiums paid 18.388.00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2j) per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from fo.we at age 40, to 817,038 at age 94. , The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums paid for the insurance. Mr. Mark Banka was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result o nis method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.
