THE CAPITAL.
What It lias Cast Us—Boms Expenditures
for “Works of Art."
Washington Vorretpomtmeo Gntuhle.
Last June Congress called npon the Secretary
of the Treasury for a tabulated statement of
all money spent by tho Government since Ha
origin In the District of Columbia. This state
ment has been prepared by Mr. Bailey of tho
warrant division, and Is fall ol Interesting fig

called permanent Improvements, Including orig
inal expenditures, tho coat of repairs, furnish

Total
The total represents the amount of money
the Government has invested in the District of
Columbia under tho Items uamed, none of
which, under the statutes. Is taxable. The Gov
ernment owns all the streets, avenues, alloys,
parks, and public grounds In Washington, ami
Is proprietor of about ano-half tho acreage of
the city. Iu lieu ol taxes, ft annually provides
onc-balf of tho money required to support the
District Government.
TUe money expended for works of art seems
enormous, tmt $125,0000f ills invested in the
Corcoran Art Gnlltrv in a peculiar wav. Wlieo
tho War broke out Corcoran sympathised with
the South, and went to Europe. Thuart gullcrr
which bears his name bad been erected, but not
occupied. The Government seized it and used
it during tho War. When Corcoran came home
in 1605, be brought suit for rent, and $125,000
was paid him, wltu tho stipulation that It should
bo a part of the endowment of tho gallery.
Tho other investments for art hare bcco
very extravagant. There ore mony good
pieces and many poor, ones in tho posset*
slou of the Government, but la almost every
cose extravagant prices have been paid, and tho
{•urchaso mads for other reasons than tho ar*
lath: excellence of the article. For Instance,
the hideona nude statue ot Washington, which
stands opposite the edit front of tho Capitol,
cost $42,170.74. Tho equestrian statue of Scott,
at tho intersection of llbodo Island and Massa*
chusetts avenues, which la perhaps tho best
piece of its kind In tho city, cost tho enormous
sum of $77,000. The equestrian statue of Wash*
Incton, which stands at the intersection of
Pennsylvania avenue, K, and Twcnty-sccv
ond streets, cost $58,270, and Clark Mill's
statuo of Jackson, which occupies Lafayette
square, opposite tho Executive mansion, cost
s2B,4hi. The marble figure of Llncolu, which
atands no a marble abaft in front ot the City*
Hail, cost $16,000, ond the wretched statue of
lUwllns, which stands down on tho river-bank,
surrounded by negro cabins cost 118,000.
Tho ridiculous groups of Columbus and the
Frontlermau s family on the cast portico of tbe
Capitol cost—tbe former $69,000 and tho latter
S.'tijmO. The historical pointings by Jonathan
Trumbull In tbe Capitol rotunda cost $82,000,
and Ilcaly's collection of Presidential portraits
cost $8,600, which was as good an Investment as
any made. Another good luvcstmcnt was tho
SOO,OOO spent In frescoing tho Capitol corridors
ana committee rooms. Brody's collection of
photographs ot distinguished men cost $23,000.
it appears that Mai. L'Hnfant, tho French
man who planned the Cltv of Washington In
1702. received only $l,BOl fur hts services, while
Walter, the architect who designed the Capitol
Building, cot $20,000.
It cose $46,838.88 to remove tbe scat of Gov*
eminent to Washington In 1800,

Another Account or Ule Death—Killed by •
Confederate Soldier.
After publishing tbe Washington JltnthVt
account of the killing of Gen. Rcuo, who was
said to have teen shot by a member of the
Twenty-third Ohio infantry (Hayes' regiment),
tbe Wctnmpka Alabamian gives su Interview
with Joslah Skinner, a Confederate soldier, who
claims to have been the real marksman who
shot the General. The following is a report of
tbe interview:
" Mr. Skinner, 1 learned yesterday that you
were the roan who killed Geo. Reno, and have
colled to get the particulars of the account
from you! ,r
" AU right, 1 will give you tbe facts, and tell
them so that if (here is any doubt about it thuv
can be easily contradicted. Early on the morn
ing of the battle of Buuth Afountsln, Mai. K. B.
Ready was ordered to taka command of hts old
company, which ho organised here, and of which
tic was Captain, aud la dupluy them as sharp
shooters upon our extreme left, so os to prevent
a flank movement of the enemy. Near where
wo were placed woe a house, just below which
was a shoo-shup. Myself, John Wilson, T.
Nichols, and Maj. Ready occupied the shop.
While lu there 1 saw an olllccr, of what rank 1
did not know, at a distance of about 2UO paces,
cautiously approaching the shop, along a bog
trad. Ue would atop every lew steps, as if lis
tening. Hu carried his hat iu Pis left band, and
his sword lu his right, using It us a stick. 1
called Maj. Rcadv's attention to bUu. and be or
dered mo not to Are until he approached nearer.
"In the side of the shop was a small window
of four small panel; which wo broke out, and in
which Nichols, Wilson, and I rested our
guns. When tho olllcer had approached to
within about twenty («wcs of thu shop Maj.
Ready ordered me to Are; 1 did so. bitting him
near tho pit of the stomach. Ho fell. Im
mediately a soldier, whom 1 supposed was one
of bis body-guards, sprang to his assistance, aod
was shot down by Nichols. He was then sur
rounded by bu men. Wo alt then attempted to
•scape, but were all captured except myself.
Maj. Ready, Nichols, ami myself were wounded.
"After being captured, Maj. Ready requested
to be taken la the place where tbe olUcer waa
•hot, and asked thu litter-bearers who he was,
and was Informed tuat It was Maj.-Geu. Reno.
"After Maj. Ready’s return home, be told me
whom 1 had killed, and congratulated mo for it.
Of course 1 do not know that it was Gen. Hcuo,
but Maj. Ready was my mformsut, and ha told
mo bow he gained the lufoimatiou."

WOODIN 811808 WITHIN TUB FIUB LIMITS.
Thu special order—the petition for the erec
tion of wooden sheds by the United Btates Roll
ing-Stock Csmjtany at tbe foot of Robey street
—was taken up.
Aid. Thompson, from the Committee on Fire
snd Water, submitted a report recommending
that the prayer bo granted, and that an order
1)0 passed directing the Superintendent of
Buildings to Issue a penult upon the Company
giving a guarantee tbst they would cmplov the
800 men, the shed to be removed whenever the
Council should deem it necessary for the public
safely.
Aid. Smyth considered this a direct violation
of the Fire ordinance, and he was opposed to
making exceptions. If the desire was to aid the
poor men, they should be allowed to erect cot
tages-
'Aid. Cullcrlon moved to amend by adding a
proviso that permission be given to oterv one to
erect one and one-aud-a-bsif story frame build
ings In the district bounded on the south hv the
Illinois & Michigan Canal, north by Sixteenth
direct, east by Ashland avenue, and west by tbe
city limits.
Aid. Thompson said he would rather vote to
place the report on die than sanction the amend
ment.
Aid. McCaffrey doubted whether the Council
bad the right to compel a comporation to em
ploy one man or anv number. Ue looked uoou
the thlug as a cloaV to violate (bo Fire ordi
nance.
Aid. Btaubcr remarked that tbe employes de
sired It, since, unless the abed' Was put up, the
work they would have this winter would be
taken to Urbans, O.
Aid. Cullerton objected to allowing a rich
corporation to erect a shed 600 feet long, when
a man 200 feet off could build one only 14
x!0.
Aid. Cary supported tbe report, seeing no In
consistency lu It, os cottages would be perma
nent, and the sheds coaid do torn down after
thirtv days' notice.
Alii. Ryan moved to amend tbe amendment
by adding: "Also, south by West Division
street* cast by the north Branch, and west by
the city limits."
Aid. Rawlelgh thought the Company could
well afford to put up a brick shed, as the cost
would he only SI,BOO more.
Aid. Lawler said lie would vote for (be rec
ommendation, simply to give the men work,
nut ho was opposed to granting monopolies
what were denied to poor men.
The amendment to the amendment was lost,
—yeas, 0; nays, 22. Tnose who voted In the
atllrmotlvo woru Tally, Turner, Lading. Culler
ton, Lawler, Itysn, Btaubcr, Janssens, and Mc-
Caffrey.
Aid. Tally moved to amend the amendment
by striking out tue Illinois & .Michigan Canal
and Inserting Thlrlv-nluth street, and making
tho eastern boundary Btowon avenue instead of
Ashland avenue.
This was voted down by tbo same votes as
before, with tho exception of Janssens, who
•aid "nay."
The amendment was also lost, the rots being
tbe same as that last mentioned.
The report was not concuircd In,—yeas, 13;

HrE INSUKANCE.
SHEPPARD HOMANS.
Mr. Sheppard Homans, for many years the
Actuary of tho Mutual Ltfe-lnaaraace Company
of New York, being In the city, was Interviewed
by a Triounb reporter. Among other things
he said:
Mr. Homans creed tbat life-insurance ought
to be an unmixcd rood; that Id no other way
can the head of a family so easily secure, In the
event of his own death, a certain support to Ida
family or dependent*. He acknowledged tbat
there were some radical defect* In the old sys
tem, but be thought these defects could easily
1m remedied by the policy-holders themselves,
and, aa the true principles underlying the busi
ness are made clear to them, they would Insist
upon their rights.
The appreciation in which life-insurance is
held la evidenced nut only by the enormous
amount hitherto paid to the old companies, but
also by the wonderful Increase In tbe number of
benefit or co-operative societies, particularly In
the West. The assessment* after death which
characterise these latter associations Mr. Ho
mans considers a fatal defect. Post-mortem
assessments are credits without security, and
any business based on such a violation of princi
ple would Inevitably, sooner or later, come to
grief, and bring disappointment and lots upon
the persistent members. Such associations ore
prohibited by law In many of tb« States, and
should bo banished In all.
Mr. llotnauft predicted that the Insurance
contracts of the future would be quite different
from those now existing In our life-companies.
Hitherto life-insurance lias been paid Jor almost
without cxccptlou by uniform or average pre
miums which necessitate reserves, or deposits
In advance forlnsurancca or endowments, prom
ised to be furnished In old age, which the pol
icy-holders may never live to enjoy, or. If liv
ing. may not need. These payment* in advauce.
and In excess of all the requirements for
the cost of Insurance In tbe past,
constitute the vast accumulations, amount
ing to something like $400,000,000, now held
bv our life-insurance companies. They are not
absolutely necessary to secure the protection
desired, and result solely from the arti
ficial system of uniform or average premiums.
Mot only does the system of uniform premiums
necessitate a larger outlay than Is required to
Erovldc for current death-claims and expenses,
ut the policies are usually so worded that, If
through necessity or choice the payment of any
stipulated premium la omitted, the reserve
deposits may be confiscated In whole
or In part, at the pleasure of the
company. The highest Court In the
land has ruled that this la au injustice, and
that an equitable surrendervoluocould here
covered by an action in a court of equltv. Mr.
Homans urged that every company ought to be
willing to stole definitely in tbe policy contract
the exact sum tu cash or lu paid-up insurance
which woo'd be given at the cud of each and
every year should the bolder elect todlscontlnuo
the Insurance, lie urged that no policy should
be accepted In any company which did not con
tain such a stipulation In black uud white.
In former times, when a man borrowed money
on the security of real estate and failed to pay
the principal, or even the stipulated interest,
promptly ou the date when due, the lender
could seize ou the property, no matter how
small the Indebtedness was in comparison to Ita
value. In time this evil grow to such magni
tude tbat the English court* decided that the
owner was entitled to an equity of redemption,
and that any excess realized from a public sale
should In fairness belong to the borrower, aud
should be paid tu him.
The confiscation of the reserve or accu
mulated deposits ou a life-insurance policy,
which, be it remembered, aro payments In ex
cess of the cost of the protection In the past,
and aro provisions for something promised to
bo furnished io the future, Is monstrous, and
should not bo longer tolerated. The company
should be protected against the possible exodus
of sound Jives, but every policy-holder Is enti
tled to an equitable surrender-value, and should
Insist upon us being “nominated In the bond.”
Mr. Homans thought that lawyers and tbe
courts were too apt to limit tho rights and equi
ties of a policy-holder to tbo rigid terms of the
contract, and 'to lose sight of abstract rights
and equities not named In tbo contracts which
were drawn by ouo party—tbo company—while
tho other party—the policy-holder—was kept
Ignorant of hla said equities and rights.
The vast accumulations held by llfe-companlcs
In tbe form of reserves or deposits lu advance
arc not only a source of danger and anxlctv, but
olfer fearful temptations to designing men to
got control of tho funds and manipulate tho
aamo for their own benefit. Llic-lnsurauce
may ho purchased by tho payment, each
year by itself, of tbe mortality quota
as determined by tbe tables for each age, to
gether with a suitable margin for expenses ana
contingencies. This would necessitate Increas
ing payments aa the person grows older, but
large accumulations would be rendered unnec
essary, and iho payments for moay years would
bo far less thau are required under the old «v§-
tern. As age Increase* the cost of insurance in
creases also, aud this cost must be
paid for under any system, by the
plan ot natural premiums (as contrast
ea with the uniform or average premiums),
the insured never has at risk more thau the
price of one year’s Insurance, and hat the re
servo lu hla own pocket, unaer his own control,
aud free from tho danger of confiscation should
ho be unable or unwilling to continue tbe Insur
ance.
At iho (rue principle# of life-insurance are
made clear, men will no longer hesitate la their
cbulcc, but will decide to pay for laaurance at It
it furntsned, at currcut coat, each year by Itself,
under a form of contract at once simple, tafe,
and Juat, and will refute the old, onesided con
tract, which it nut only mure exoeaaivu, but (< to
complicated that few men can undcraUad its
meaning.
At regards the defects of present policies, the
remedy it in the power of the holders ihem
solves, Hat If they continue to give proxies to
interested agents, who thus enable the oliicera
to perpetuate their tenure of olfleo and their
power to decide bow much of de
posits, if any, shall be paid oil surrender of a
policy, the real owners of the trust funds will
have no one but themselves to blame if their
money U confiscated and their rights are disre
garded.

Cuicsco. Dec. 2.—1 hope you will continue
to exert tbe powerful Influence of your paper
to break up tbe autocratic power of tbe officers
of our largo life-insurance companies, which bos
been grasped by means of proxies (so worded as
lu be 01 possible Irrevocable powers of attorney
to vote at any aud all elections) given by policy
holders at tne solicitation of Interested agents.
It Is the curse of life-insurance, and Its greatest
danger. Unscrupulous men have been tbns en
abled to get possession of the trust fanda and
to perpetuate their power and office despite the
efforts of the press, the courts, the Legisla
tures. and the pollci-holdera themselves. These
latter have no voice in the management of their
own funds, and are helpless In say effort* at
reform.
Thanks to the Insane folly of the officer* of
the Mutual Life, public attention la being
aroused tu the matter, and, if such papers as
your own will gtve reliable Information to their
readers, life-insurance may coon become what It
has lone since ceased to bo,—a reputable busi
ness. U ought to be a real blessing, lours
very truly, k
the "surrender charge."
To the Biltor of The 7WAtm«.
Davenport, la., Nov. RV-In a recent com
munication, which has doubtless been read br
thousands whoso thanks are due to you, 1
•bowed a complete anaJrals of (he "surrender
charge” made against my policy, N 0.43,171, Mu
tual Life of New York. Tho Item of $483.25 (or
the "Insurance value” of the policy) Is the
present value of the payments that would bo
required of mu to pay the death losses occurring
during the nineteen yeara (hat my policy has
yet to run, and which, If paid by me, or with
held for that purpose by the Company, would
entitle me to on Insurance, In case of death
during the first jear after the surrender of my
present policy, of (5,500.40 and (5,430.55 the
second year, and tho eighteenth rear after
surrender (02.01, hut which amounts, though
fully paid up, ere denied to me. Hence, if not
entitled to tho insurance, 1 ought not to he
forced to pay lor It; and the exaction of (483.25
for (his purpose Is Illegal ami Inequitable.
Tho remaining policy-holders suffer nothing
by my going out, but, on the contrara, receive
Irum mu in atli-auce all that they eouui receive
if I remained, with the added advantage of not
being compelled to pay my heirs anything when I
died, If within the nineteen years. It mav then be
very seriously questioned whether it will prove
"economical” In the end, for certainly those
who have retired In vears past, and have subse
quently died during the term for which they
have paid, will come to the Company in the
person of their helra-at-law, and demand pay
ment.
The recent "secret circular" declares that,
though this fund has been withheld for pur
poses of dividend during tho whole life of the
Company, yet so great is it that but the saving
of but one or two yeara will be required to In
fuse the new blood which the long-sighted man
agers foresaw would be necessary as the result
of their reckless guesses, and will consequently
raise tho question In the minds of some who
are farscclng outside of the Company as to
what disposition has bceu made of a revenue
resulting from a source so prolific.
Bills in cquiiv will be filed In our courts ask
ing for an accounting on existing policies, and
wheu that time comes there Is little doubt of an
entire revolution In the affairs of the Company.
It will prove an Instrument for the puncture of
this overgrown corporation, causing a collapse
which will seriously endanger IU permanence
and safety.
The peril of the hour demands of pollcr-bold
era a closer scrutiny Into Us affairs, and ah earn
est attempt to save It lieforo these high-handed
transactions of its managers bare hopelessly
rained the Company. Jambs GoLDsntmr.
KUSSIA AND ENGLAND.
Some Anti-Jingo Remarks by the Leading
Canadian Newspaper*
■ Toronto Globe.
Were It not fdt the gravity of the situation
there would be something laughable in the ex*
actucss with which Russia is said to be meting
out to England English treatment of Uussla
during the Kusso-Turkish war. Britain “unof
dclally “ supplied ships of war and naval offi
cers to Turkey before the war took place. Uus
sla “unofficially " equips the Ameer of Afghan
istan with rltlcs, artillery, and ammunition.
Britain sends her fleet to the Dardanelles.
Russia sends Qtn. Abramolt to Cabul. Britain
interferes at the moment of victory,
rescues Constantinople from Russia’s
clutches, snd sets Turkey on Its legs
again. Russia prompts Shore All to be saucy
when asked to receive an Ambassador from
Lord Lvltoo. England stands quietly by dur
ing the Kusso-Turkish war, and tuca Intervenes
with oil the crushing weight that a new comer
has when Interposing between two exhausted
combatants.' She soys at tbc outset of the war,
*• I will take no active part in tbe war, but nev
ertheless no permanent arrangement must be
made without my 0005601.“ Russia follows
this policy out to tbe letter on tbe Afghan ques
tion, It the -Vafioria? ZeUung is to bo believed.
Russia will not interferu “officially”
understood in tbe contest between
England and tbe Ameer, but will not
connect to auv rectification of the Xudo-Afghan
frontier without a previous understanding being
arrived at between Euglaud and Russia. She
will not consent to tbe annexation or destruc
tion of Afghanistan, nor to tuo acquirement by
Britain of t&e portions of the country com
manding tbo pastes of Dslkn. These passes
are the roads through the Hindoo Koash Mount
ains, Ist away from India to tbe north of Af
ghanistan, and south and west of Bokhara, and
as their possession by England would prevent
the extension of Russia eastward from Khiva
aud Bokhara, the objection seems not an un
reasonable one. But the fact of such an objec
tion having been made is likely to have an effect
on tbo British Lion similar to prodding him with
a sharp stick. If Lord Beacoosfleld be really
resolved upon war with Russia he could nut
wish for a better orctext than this announce
ment, presuming that it has really been made.
Thu question might fairly be asked: “ What has
Russia to do with any part of Afghanistan, aud
what docs she want with It except as a means
aud a pretext for disturbing the peace of
Indtat” Obviously nothing, from a Jingo point
of view, Still, there Is nothing to quarrel about
as long os Russia does not actively Interfere.
Tbo object of tbo war Is officially stated to bo
tbo strengthening of the Northwestern frontier.
Russia may fairly object to au arrangement
which gives British India au impregnable
frontier, but ieavea the Russian Asiatic
FrovJncea at the mercy of an Anglo
udfan army, which tbe late war showed
Britain would not scruple to use against her. In
fact, the obtaining of au impregnable frontier is
Just os much a matter of Ilfu and death to Rus
sia as it la to England. At present It seems very
much as though tbe one of tbe two Bowers
which secures the best frontier In Afghanlstao
will be able to cbcckmslu toe other in Europe
as well as in Asia. If Russia were to experience
a reverse in Turkestan the hordes of aemi-sav
ago Turcomans which she professes to rule
would be promptly about her cars. She would,
therefore, have to cripple her European army
for the take of keeping in check a numerically
Inferior lono hanging over her from the moun
tain fastnesses ol Afghanistan. Jt Is easily arco,
therefore, that Russia i tally pas some liistlilea-
Uou lor anxiety, as well as, probably, tnu desire
to be revenged (or British olhclousncss in tbo
lato uoploasautnea.
•• Excellency.”
yne \Wk ll'. p'rf.
A correspondent asks us why the title of
Vour Excellencies” is used In the addresses
presented to the new Governor-Genera) of Can*
ada and the Princess Louise, Ids wife, instead
ol those appropriated hy English usage to the
Bcrsunal rank o( the (Jueen's daughter end the
iuke of A roll’s son. ’the reason simply Is
that the title of “Excellency " is not exactly
a title at all. but an “udmm-t of dignity”
grantcu hy courtesy to certain odldals who rep
rcaeot the sovereign of Great Hrllalu, such as
Viceroys, Governors, and Lieutenant-Governors.
Some years ago the Quevnaddicssed the wife of
the I«ord Lieutenant of Ireland ss” Vour Ex
cellency,” whereupon the wives o| these high
functionaries forthwith seized upon the distinc
tion, and have ever since Insisted upon it. In
Canada and India the Govcrnors-Geiieral have
granted the use of the same addition
to tho Commamlcr-lu-ChlcX ol the IJucen's
Forces In those dominions. In our own coun
try this adjunct of dignity has been legally
granted, wo tichcve, to oulv one public niilccr,—
the Governor of Massachusetts, the Lieutenant-
Governor of the same btale having a legal claim
also to too title of Ills Honor. It docs not say
as much as It might, perhaps, for the reality of
our American democratic Instincts tliat these
two adjuncts of dignity have nevertheless been
irreadlly appropriated all over Iqe land bv pub

Ileaeonsfleld's Devotion to Ills Wife.
From o tktlrh is U< .We Took World.
Disraeli has always sought fortune in the
higher sense of glorv and fame; aud when It has
uoiue tu him us pelf It bos been by the pure
favor of the goddess and not by his own exer
tions. His life-long devotion to his wife would
be enough to prove, wens any one Impertinent
enough to doubt it, that her Joint
ure wa* not her attraction in his eyes
“ They was like a pair of turtle-doves, they
was,” says tbe brad gardener as he shows you
through the shrubberies, cultivated by her con
stant usro to suit her husband's taste. “They
was like that to the last dais of tbclr lives.
They would spend whole days out here together
In the summer lime, aud U was her delight tu
take him to Bee thloea which ihe had dohe to
Please him unbeknown. I( the thought
he’d like to bare a clearer view of the
meadow* she'd have openings cot In the
wood*. She used to tell me to do It on the nm
et. and when it was all done she’d lead him to
the S[iot. i>o too see that monnyment yonder
on the hill I Well, ft's pat ap In memory of
my lord’s father, him that wrote the book; and
my lady did it all of her own accord. She had
the ptaoa made and see the rnaaona to work
without sayln' a word to him about it; and then
the takes him out one fine afternoon, and
says he.' What’s that!' ‘Let's co tee,'says
she, with a smile; and when they cot
near It he stood and looked at her for a
full minute without aocakln’ a word. I've
heerd as how he cried, but, not havin’ been near
enough to see It, I can't aay. It want he finished
immovment to Isaac Disraeli, air. fit for West*
minster Abbey. She loved Isaac Disraeli’s sou
like that."
As you listen to ibis you cannot but cat! to
mind many another story on tbe same subject
u'luaUr to the point. Only one need bo told.
Entering her brougham wltb him ono night to
drire down to the house for a great de
bate, Mrs. Disraeli bad ber finger
nearly crashed by the slamming of the
door. Mr. Disraeli did not notice tbe accident
In his Intense preoccupation of mind, and she
made tbe really heroic resolution that be abould
not hear of it till he bad left the house. Ho
ran over the points of his soecch to ber. and she
listened, only diverting her attention for a mo
ment to make sure that the mutilated finger
woa well out of alght In the foldsof her mantle.
She knew that If he had seen it bla all-powerful
aid In tbe debate would hare been 1 oat to his
party for that night.
