The Popularity of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, indicated by the fact that for niial New Business has been Company in the world, is due, known promptness in the payment of Death Claims, and its rule never to take advantage of technicalities where an equitable claim exists. Asa GUARANTEE of this, cious influence of a technical companies, the Equitable makes new, throughout the United States. ABSOLUTELY INCONTESTABLE, After llie policy has been in force for three years. "Hie Equitable Life has paid since its organ ization to-January 1st, 1880, $51,882,786, -and closed its books upon that date without a con tested or past due claim." The Equitable Life Assurance Society was the first to in troduce the TONTINE SAVINGS FUND POLICY, And thereby to popularize life insurace to a degree before unknown. Ry the late report of the Insurance Commissioner for the states of Massachusetts and New York, the Equitable Life Assurance Society shows the following strong points: FIRST The Equitable has a larger ratio of assets to lia bilities than any of the leading companies. SECOND The Equitable saved more of its income last year than any other company. THIRD The Equitable's death rate was less last year than any other of the leading companies. FOURTH The Equitable realizes a higher rate of rent, or interest, on real estate than any other company.

Springfield Journal (Republican.) It is gratifying to be assured that the democratic party is at last to have a party orjrau in this statu worthy of the name. For sometime pwt there have been rumors afloat of Decollations for the establish ment ot a democratic daily at some point in the state -exactly where did not seem to be settled, as Bloominzton. Peoria. Quiney aud Chicago have all been men tioned in connection with the enterprise witbytin ample capital and with Hon. John H. Oherly, the democratic member of the present railroad and warehouse board, at its head. The scheme seema at last to have taken definite shape, and au apparently au thentic report now comes to us that it ha been definitely decided to establish tho new organ at Bloomington, and that Mr. Obcrly has been invited to accept its man agement. The fact that ho has.; taken $),000 stock in the enterprise (as stated in a Bloomington paper) would indicate that ho is pretty certain to accept. The total capital raised is said to bo $15,000, which will undoubtedly bo more than ample for the equipment of an ofllce, but will proba bly all be needed before the enterprise can bo fairly placed upon its feet. Tho need by tho Democracy of Illinois, of a respectable party organ has long been manifest and frequently remarked upon. Since the defection ot the Chicago Times, it cannot e said to have had anything worthy of the name certainly, nothing which exerts any controlling influence upon the politics of tho state. It is doubtful if an, "organ" can greatly benefit the party for it can no more create voters than Glen dower could call spirits from tho "vasty deep" certainly not in tho present stage of democracy degeneracy. Your true political necromancer, and tho only one that has aided 10 any efficient manner to strengthen tho power of the democrat!? party, in the past fifteeen years, has been, the southern bull-dozer and tissue-ticket pedler. It is greatly to be doubted, there fore, if the adherents of that moribund party, who aio now sighing lor an ' organ, will not find that they aro leaning on a "broken reed" one that will pierce the hand that holds it -when they get it. But, assuming that they mast have aa "organ" and we certainly wish to sou them gratified we know of no one better qualified to take charge of it than tho recent democratic candidate for secretary ot state. Ready, witty and talented, with experience os a journalist, he will brine to tho task before him an ability possessed by few and surpassed by none in the state. Not always in harmony with tho self-constituted leaders occasionally startling his party by unexpected "spurts" of liberalism Mr. Oberly's party would have mani fested more wisdom, on frequent occasions within tho past few cars, if it had fol lowed him more implicity than it has dono. Indeed, we suspect that wiser members of tho party and perhaps others not so wise have discovered that a fatal mistake was made when Mr. Oberly was "frozen" out of the State Register office in this city, a year ago, but it was a blunder which ho may yet live long onough to see revenged. With this kindly warning to the party against expecting too much of their "or gan," and with a lively appreciation of the difficult not to say impossible task be foro hint, we personally wish Mr. Oberly abundant success in his new enterprise War, kills its thousands, but a cough its tens of thousands; Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, however, always kills a cough. Price only 23c ents a bottle ViYflnta City, Nevada. Just heard from Tom Harris, Virginia City, Nevada; he writes that the, doctors had given up all hopes of saving ' hun.
