IN$URANCE , STATISTICS,
•••••
The inatirasioe bine book, issued by
the In/nuance Department at Ottawa
for the year ending 31st Decenaber,1888,
has been reoeived by us, andicontains
OPme very interesting informstionanere
especially su relation to the business of
'life insurance,which has beenone of the
great and suacesefulfinenoial industries
of this young and rising country. In
order to give our readers some idea of
its steady growth and popularity, we
Will Maim some comparisons betwden
the business of 1869, 1879 and 1889, also
giving some statistics Pi relation to
home and foreign companies :
i In the year 1869 the Canada Life,be-
ing the only Canadian life oompany,
there was at risk in that oompany 11.5,-
376,358. The British itompaniee, in
number fourteen, bad risks to the
amount of 06,318,475 and nine Ameri-
can comPanies had assurances covering
013,005, 049. It will be thus seen that
the total i Ileinsurance oariied in Cana-
da twent years ago was only 635,680,-
082. In t e year 1869 the population of
Canada was about 3,000,000, so that
4 the average amount of insurance per
•T capita was 02.00.
We will pass down the stream of
J time for 10 years, viz., to 1879 and as-
certain what progress life assurance has
made during that epoch by pointing out
the relative position of Cenadian,British
and. American. companies. There are
now seven Canadian companies, and
-their business amounts to 333,246,543
instead of 65,476,353, as it was in 1869,
an increase of upwards of 600 per cent.
The American companies have policies
in force to the amount of 333,616,330,
against 313,885,249 in 1869, which
means a per centage increase of a little
over 100 per cent. The British com.
rallies during the 10 years have in-
creased their business from 06,318,475
to 319,410,829, about eighter, cent.
—Thus theeteitaTat iri one 11-1870-
.Lcas 386,273,702, as compared with 1135,-
680,082 in 1869, or about 175 per cent.
of an increase. During the 10 years the
• pbpnlation of Canada bad increased to
something over 4,000,000, so that the
amount per capita had risen from 312
to 323.
We now turn to the last decade, viz.,
the year ending 31st 'December, 1888,
when we find the Canadian companies
have now in force the handsome amount
• of $114,034,279, an increase of 2500 per
cent since 1869. The American nom-
. panicle have 367,724,044, an increase of
,canly 400 per cent. from 1869 to 1889.
The British companies come last, and
they have now a total of $30,003,210, or
an increase of about 100 per cent. dur-
ing the twenty years. We feel sure our
Canadian readers will be glad to notice
the gratifying progress made by) our
Canadian life companies during these
twenty years as compared with that
made 'by foreign ones.
. Another lesson to be gleaned from
these figures is that our Canadian in-
t- suring public are realizing the impor-
tance of building no our local institu-
tions by making them monuments of
native enterprise. Before closing our
replarks on this subject, we would like
ifS4anake a short reference to our leading
Canadian life company,viz., the Canada
Life. In 1869 the total insurance in
force was a little over $5,000,000. The
Government blue book for 1888 gives
the amount of its policies in force as
$43,319,000, or something over a fifth
of• the entire insuranceheld in the
country, and- $13,000,000 in excess of
the total of all the British companies.
•The number of American life companies
having business in Canada are 13, and
they hold in insurance to the amount of
$67,000,000, while the Canada ' Life
alone has. $43,000,000. In 1869 the
Z'
Etne the oldest American company
doing business in Canada, had policies
to the amount of 34,818,000, and the
Canada Life 35,476,000. The sEtna
now has 318,000,000, while the Canada
has 343,000,000. Thee .figures are
THE ASS THAT THE LORD
HAS NEED OF—AN AP-
PlaA,, FOR POINT-
-A.T.TX-TREDIBLES ' •
.1.,••,..••••••••
The Sabbath School lesson some time
ago was upon the Lord'a triumphal
entry into ,Teruselern. The part -played
by the ass caught the writer's eye with
a deep significance.
Christ must enter Jerusalem as king
that day, and He omit ride into it.
Bat the man Christ Jesus had no ass of
his own, and Elie immediate disciplee
had none either. Dot he must ride.
Necessity was upon Him. He must
ride. In this Orbit the owner of "the
made upon a thousand hills" calmly
shows Himself. He does not buy an
ass, nor beg one, but, by the hand of
two commissioned meseengers, He lays
his own hand of power and lawful right
upon "an an tied where two ways met."
When these messengers, without asking
leave of any one, begin looeing the colt,
they are checked by a very natural
question from him who, up to thio time,
had supposed himself to be the sole
owner of the beast. "What do ye loos-
ing the colt ?" The answer put before.
hand into their mouth by Him who
sent them was this one sentance, "The
Lord hath need of him." No doubt the
effectual powez of Jehovah accompanied
the word, for "Straightway" the owner
withdrew all objections, and sent the
colt to the master who so pleaded, not
his right, bat his need.
The Lord is in need again. Rever-
ently we speak it, but it is too plain to
need proof. The God "in whose hand
oar breath is and whose are all our
ways" has need of an rtes. The Lor
Jesus Christ our Savior, "who though
He was rich, yet for our sakes became
poor," who bore our load, who died our
death, and who now has made us joint -
heirs with Himself in His—own eternal'
inheritance. This same Jesus Christ
has need of an ass upon which to ride
as king with his gospel of peace - addhope,
hope, into the city gates that God has
made to open for Him. But He needs
an ase to ride upon. What is the ass
the want lotivhich is delaying the Lord's
entry into the sad, dark places of the
earth? Is it not just the giver and
gold ? Is not this the ase upon which
the Lord is to ride, and without which
He cannot go? Reveaently again, but
truly, without which He cannot go.
Which of us has an ass tied? With
serious -authority I lay my hand upon
it as the Master's messenger : "the
Lord has need of him."
Jesus did not send his two disciples
to lay their hand upon an ass at work
in the plough, nor to loose the beast
out of a peasant's cart. The ase the
Lord hal need of was one that though
"t. d "

Lord does not in the mean ime lay

farmer's plough, nor the thousands

the traffic of the world. But He does
ask for some of the thousands owned by
his own blood -bought followers—owned
but not in use. Thousands "tied,"
tied in the bank, tied in many a com-
fortable investment, tied, but so little a
pail of either life or work, that,. if they
were suddenly swept away, their loss
would not check their owner's plongh,
nor stop his cart, nor, indeed, take one
comfort out of his daily life. Dear
fellow Christian, have you such an ass
tied ? Listen then to the Master's mes-
sage. "The Lord bath need ot him."

tender pleading in it too. Sinner saved

DYING NEV.A.DA.
While four new States, and pos-
sibly five, are preparing to enter
the Union, and showing every
qualification for that cioladitiee,
the moribund State of Nevada
seems to be on the point of re-
lapsing into a territory again.
Her population numbers scarcely
50,000 souls, and' the whoIe re-
sources of the State ecarcely suf-
fice to support them. The rev-
enue to maintain the Government
is derived chiefly from the bon-
aza, mines, and their exhaustion
is solely a question oftime. Long
before that happens, however, the
population will have dwindled to
theedwellere in the mining towns,
who certainly will not be able to
maintain the. expense of a State
government. What will be done
then ? The problem will undoubt-
edly bew,>edi.:when it arises, in
m
confority with the general good
sense that characterizes American
statesmanship, but theoretically
it presents some difficulties. If a
State cannot dissolve its con-nec-
tion with the Union,ean it in any
way change its condition of State-
hood? Can it go back to infancy
and ask to be supported at the ex-
pense of its sister States? There
is no provision in the • Federal
Constitution that contemplates
any such condition of affairs, and
whatever decision will be made
•must extra -constitution -al.
Several Ones in .our r history re-
sort has been made to some such
course, as in reconstruction and
the Elective Commission. Nevada
has been a child of sin froth' the
beginning. It is a mere appange
of the San Francisco millionaries;
and gives two additional seats in
the Senate of California. it prob-
ably never had enough population
to entitle it to Statehood, but it
was juggled into the Union at a
time when the supremacy of the
Republican party was considered
more important than either right
or justice. There is not a credit-
able line in its whelepolitical his-
tory. Its Legislature bas always
been notoriously ven al,and it dis-
poses of the Senatorships as the
Praetorian Guard disposed of the
imperial throne. Some way
should be devised to reduce it to
the condition of a territory again.
It is an outrage upon all the States
that such a rotten .borough should
have an equal representation with
each of them in the Senate of the
United States.—Chicago Herald.

Public, indignation is being
aroused throughout the United
Kingdom because of the cruel
treatment of Irish members of
parliament who aro in prison.
Even Lord Randolph Churchill 'in
his recent speech at Birmingham,
felt, impelled to protest, agdinst
the system of government under
which the representatives 'of the
people are sent to prison for dar-
ing to express their opinions up-
on public questions. Some of
the government's critics do not
hesitate to charge that the worst
post boles among the ',prisons in
Ireland'are purposely selected for
the incarceration of those convict-
ions of the Crimes act. The cou-
dition of the prison at Falcarragh
particularly is referred to as a
disgrace to civilization, and it is
pointed out that, although the at-
tention of the authorities has been
called to it repeatedly within the
past year, nothing has even been
done to, remove the danger of'the
epidemic'. On Thursday last John
McGee was released from the
prison irr a pitiable condition, and
when he reached his home it was
only to die the next day -of ty-
phoid fever. Ile had entered the
institution a picture of health and
strength. He came out a physi-
cal wreck.
