Degree Lodges Established.
The Alliance friends are to be commended for their energy in organizing their own life insurance business. There has been three lodges of the National Alliance Aid established in the past week near Rensselaer. One is in Union township and is officered by Austin Lakin asPresi dent and Dr. Hudson as Secretary. The memberships are among the most energetic men in the township and success will certainly crown their efforts. In Jordan township. Union School House, another Degree Lodge was instituted last Friday night. Following are the officers —President, John Stillman; Ist. VicePres. Fannie A. Johnson; 2nd. Vice Pres.. George Johnson; Sec., ElizaE. Smith; Lecturer, Sarah A. Harlow; chaplain. Geo. R. Smith; conductor, W. M. James; doorkeeper E. L Harlow.
The third Lodge is near the above, but across the line of Newton county and the officers are. Pres., John Putt: Ist. Vice. Pres. Fred Loughridge; 2nd. Vice-Pres., Mrs. Mary J. Putt; Sec.. Wm. H. Reed; chaplain. W. S. Kemper; conductor. Mrs. M. E. Kemper; doorkeeper, R W. Kemper; A. D. K.. Nancy E. Kempler. It is especially commendable in the foundation of these Lodges that equal recognition is givthe women. They have in all respects the same privileges as their brothers and are insured on the same terms. This honest and fair treatment is resulting in making active workers of the women who now feel that they are not slighted but are fairly recognized as important factors in the Lodge as well as in the home. The elevating influence of women in the Lodge room is too well known to need comment, and the Pilot congratulates the Alliance in the steps it has tak en. We advise all farmers and laborers not to take insurance policies in other Companies or orders till they examine the special advantages offered by the Alliance.
National Alliance Aid
This is the title of the aid degree of the F. A. and I. U., and is the most perfect and economical insurance yet devised. It carries out fully the fraternal feature's of the order. The ex penses are as follows: Membership Fee. *:.%(! ••'.n-rle policy ss.uo t2.OWi single policy u.no W.hiio joint policy 9.0 n Registry fee. single uolioy l.ou Registry fee. joint policy i.fttt Annual dues, single policy. 50 cents per $1,000; annual dues, joint policy, 75 cents per SI,OOO.

You would not: ask to become a 32d degree mas-1 on without passing through the lower degrees. Just so. you cannot join the second degree of the Alliance without first becoming a member in the regular way. Organize an Alliance and then form an Aid Degree lodge. Parties can write to C. Vincerii at Indianapolis or James Welsh at Rensselaer regarding

the establishment of a Degree lodge and we hope the farmers will generally engage in this work. The fraternal orders furnish the cheapest kind of life insurance in the world, and the farmers live longer than other classes, accordingly the death rate is Ijwer than in other occupations —therefore, it naturally follows that life insurance furnished in our own order will be cheaper than in any other order—the cheapest in the world. The following counties in Indiana are now represented in the Aid Degree: Boone. DeKalb. Green. Hamilton. Henry. Madison. Marion and Tipton.
The following from the correspondence column of Helpingi Hand illustrates what can be accomplished in this county: Clay Centre. Kas., .May 22. | '95. Bro. Cooley—l herewith en-1 close you charter application for : Clay Centre Lodge, with over 100 names on as charter members. 1 did not put all the names on, thinking you could not put them all on the charter. I have enrolled here 143 members, nearly all have joined the lodge. When I camo to Clay Centre about one month ago, I could get no encouragement from anyone, everybody said it was no use to try. that this town is loaded down with insurance. J told them I came to Clay Centre to organize the National Alliance Aid and if I don't do it I will blame no one but myself. That afternoon I had a little conference with eigH or ten of the best men in Clay Centre and laid our plan before them, explaining it fully and clearly and they were all satisfied it was a grand thing. I then told them to go and tell what they knew of this work. I then went to work and now close up with the largest lodge in Clay Centre, and have for members the best people of the city and community, and I say here. Bro. Cooley, if it had not been for the drouth, crop failures and hard times gener ally this lodge would have had 200 members, and I predict for Clay Center lodge 200 members inside of one year. They have already rented the Alliance Hal) for a lodge room and will furnish it with electric lights, paper and carpet the entire room and fit it out in the most becoming man ner and will have the best and most commodious lodge room a't Clay Centre; I am proud of the Clay Center lodge and wish them the greatest of success. I have now started a lodge at Green. Clay county, and also one at Morganville. I have set my stakes for 700 members in Clay county. Pardon me fqr my long letter as I am just full of the spirit of the National Alliance Aid. Yours in Fraternity, P. B. Stover.
Comparative Cost of Life Insurance.
Official reports show for 1893 the following in regard to the three classes of life insurance in the Uailed States. Fraternal Societies, including the National Alliance Aid. have 1.801.000 members, carrying $3,000.000,000 in risks: paying $31.000.000 in losses, at an expense of $2,413,000, or a total average of $9 for every SI,OOO insurance carried, of which only 62 cents per SI,OOO was used for expense. Ordinary A ssessment Companies had 1.676.000 members, carrying $4,170,000,000 in risks, paying $28.055.000 in losses, with $18,305,000 for expense: or total cost per SI,OOO, of $11.70, of which $4.50 went for expenses. Old Line Companies had 1,167,000 member., carrying $3,213.000.000 of risks, paying $57,192.000 at an expense of $48,636,000 or total cost of $32 per SI,OOO carried, of which $10.34 •’’ent to pay the expense!.' You pay your money and take your choice. The expense of conducting the old line company is more than the entire cost of Insurance in the Fraternal Society.

Notice has been received at the headquarters of the Cotton States and International Exposition from the Secretary of Promotion of the Mexican government that the plans for the Mexican exhibit at Atlanta had been, completed, and asking that a very large amount of space be set aside for that purpose. The Mexican exhibit, which has been vigorously promoted by President Diaz and other leading men in Mexican public life, will be very fine. One of the features of the Mexican representation will be the famous Eighth Regiment military band, which won such fame at the New Orleans Cotton Exposition of 18*4. The Mexican Village, which will also be part of the Mexican representation at the Fair, will cover nearly three acres, and will be an elaborate and picturesque presentation of Mexican life.

Quite a number of the editors stopped over in Atlanta at the invitation of the Cotton States and International Exposition Company, and were entertained at a barbecue at the country home of Mr. W. A. Hemphill, vice-president of the Exposition Company. They were given an electric car ride over the city, and escorted over the Exposition giounds by a committee from the Exposition Directory. The party went on to their Tennessee homes Wednesday night, much pleased with the sights of the building of the great Fair.
Washington Letter
From our regular correspondent. Washington. June 14. 1895. It. is an adage as old as Washington that “the president never hears the truth.” As a rule your correspondent takes little stock in adages and maxims, but unless everybody else is getting the situation wrong the president isn’t hearing the truth about the silver situation. Mr. Cleveland is being assured by every member of his party who visits the White House that the sentiment in favor of silver is on the wane in the south, and with the echoes of that big silver convention at Memphis, participated in by some of the most prominent southern leaders of his party, still ringing through the newspapers, he accepts their assurances as true. It may be true that silver sentiment is dying out in the south, but it seems strange that hundreds of prominent men belonging to all parties who come to Washington, but do not call on President Cleveland, should have failed to make so important a discovery, rhe president is also being assured that Secretary Carlisle's efforts have made it certain that the free silver men wi.l be defeated in Kentucky, and lie will leave on 'his summer vacation witr. that belief. A few weeks will show whether he has been told the truth in that case; the silver men say no. Uncle Sam will soon have a considerable bill to present to China, on account of property belonging to American missionaries recently destroyed by Chinese mobs. and. if later advices sha’l confirm first reports as to the murder of American missionaries. the affair may become more serious than the presentation of a big bill for damages, actual and exemplary. The state department is awaiting official dispatches from our representatives in China, before deciding upon what action shall be taken.
Quite a little flurry of indignation has followed the discovery that among the ninety-nine clerks dismissed from the Pension bureau, in accordance with legislation enacted by the last congress, was Miss Elizabeth N. Key. a granddaughter of Francis Scott Key. author of “The Star Spangied Banner.” Miss Key has been a clerk in the bureau since 1884. has a fair record for efficiency; and is the sole support of her mother, who is blind. A strong effort is being made to secure Miss Key’s reinstatement, and it is believed it will succeed, for notwithstanding the propensity of the average American to say. “there’s no sentiment in business,” everybody knows him to have a vein of sentiment in his nature, which, once aroused thoroughly dominates his action for the time; and if the idea of turning out women descendents of the author of “The Star Spangled Banner.” to starve, or to existon the charity of the world, doesn’t reach that vein of sentiment its outer coating must be growing dangerously hard. Attorney General Harmon agrees with President Cleveland on the financial question, as Mr. Cleveland probaoly knew before he made him a member of his cabinet. Speaking on the subject Judge Harmon said: “In the present situation it seems to me mere lolly to talk about the free coinage of silver. The only way we float the silver we now have is by attaching an applied greenback to every silver dollar —or. in other words, by the government promising to redeem it
with a gold dollar, if necessary, to keep the two equal. Of course there is a very narrow limit to the government s ability to do that, besides I know of no reason why it should do it. If there were free and unlimited coinage of silver the government could not keep the two metals on a parity very long, and the result would be, by the law of money, that has been settled from the time that man had money, the gold would all disappear and there would be only a silver basis.” Needless to say the silver men do not agree with either the Attorney General’s argument or his conclusions. “Flag Day” is being universally observed in Washington today by a display of the national colors upon buildings public and private, business and residential, and upon the persons of men women and children. It’s a good thing and the Sons of the Revolution deserve credit for their efforts to have the anniversary generally observed. It is impossible for any people to love their flag too much, and not a few Americans haveshown a disposition- to love ours too little. The administration is on the eve of a summer separation. The last cabinet meeting has been held and Mr. Cleveland, having issued- his anti - fillibustering proclamation, is ready to join his wife and family at Gray Gables. In accordance with his usual practice the time of his departure will not be announced until after he has gone—no bull intended; a mere statement of fact.
