To (be Elia» of lite Petition Falls Gazelle. llmn Sta,â€" - The saying goes, or used to where I was raised, that if .‘larch came in like a lion ’1 would go out. like a lamb, and rice urea; 341: this month has been like a bad temper- ul lion all the time up to date, and no lamb- Eike gentleness has appeared yet. Now, like a biubbering, hysterical woman after .tn outburst of cold scorn and withering mrective, March is breaking down and -- shedding sobs” like Artemus Ward's sympathiser. with “ Dirk the Three,” or Mr. Bob Sawyer’s boardingbouse landlady. I remember reading, years ago, a quaint old rh; me which ran thus: “ Of the months 0' the year, Curse a fair Februecr.” ~‘ Februeer" was rather fair in and around Kansas City this year. and now we are get- ting out the “curse” in March. Never mind : "’ Every dog has his day,” and March all! only have at at the outside, and All 'r‘onl's Day to begin another month. i used it) think that Canada, especially Fenclon Falls, was muddy at this season of the year ; but Oh Lâ€"d! here ’tis fearful: why, in Kansas, which is one mile from where I now write, they can‘t track horse thieves brcanse, in running away, they carry their tracks with them! I worked here in witt- ter until the middle of February; that is to say, when the weather permitted. I hope to start again about the lst of April, so tlmtl can reckon on about six weeks lost time for winter, instead of that number of months, as in Canada. I see the old party has the majority in the Dominion parliaâ€" ment again, for which the. people in the United States are heartily sorry. When a country is retrograding there must be some- thing wrong. 1 think a change of Govern- ment would have been beneficial to the prosperity of Canada at this time. You will have to do something in the way of Com- mercial Union, or Reciprocity, or Free Trade, whatever name it may bear, or this ' country will smot‘ or your prosperity. An- nexation is not a. name that strikes my fan- cy, because it implies a succumbing or yielding of one country to another; but I am sure Ishould not “ shed sobs" if Cana- da were to reach out her hand and skakc the proffered hand of Union, and say, in ef- fect, “I accept your offer of unitingwith you for mutual benefit.” You may regard “ Uncle San” as a big, overgrown, sell- willcd boy who, a few decades ago, told his tnothcr he would not be tied to her apron-strings any longer, but would strike out on his own account. Of course his mother took the broomstick and bclabored his back until he jerked tho brootn out of her hand and still had his own way. Now, as a son of that. mother, I don’t want to say much against her. Site was a doting and kind old soul to her children; but then she trged to boss them a little too much, and interfered with their plans when they were old enough to know to manage for themselves. Canada may be looked at as a younger brother. Now, if these two bro- thers, whose claims lie side by side, were to join hands and hearts, and buy of and sell to one another such articles as they wished to exchange, they would be much more comfortable, especially the younger one, whose claim is hardly as productive as his brother’s. As long as Canada hangs on to the old mother and acts according to let whispered suggestions, no favor can he expect from his big, rich,,indepcndent broth- 431. These are my notions in regard to Can- .ada and the United States. If Canada were ‘to join us, the resources of the Dominion would soon develop themselves and make such a boom there that you would wonder what on earth kept you fooling around iii the cold for so many years. You may ob- serve some inconsistency in my writing like this, when in former letters I advised Cana- dians to hold their own; but then I was a stranger among strangers, feeling deeply grieved because [ had left the country that 'l loved from my heart, and spoke more from sentiment than policy. Besides, Ca- nadians need not give up their own ; but i tirmly believe that Canada, if she dropped her old animosity towards the States and joined in with her, at least in a commercial sense, would enjoy .a greater measure of prosperity than at present. Several Amer- icans have asked me what the Canadians thought of annexation, and seemed to \vonâ€" der and regret that Canada should stand in her own light in this matter. I have had to answer that I thought the unfriendly feeling was traditional and hereditary rath- er than good policy, and seemed to be the outcome of past feuds between the two countries. T find the American is different from the (.‘auadian, and seems to rejoice and revel in his freedom and the greatness of his country. it is a wild, vigorous and explosive country, blessed with all the gifts of nature, and the native seems to have taken on the rim and expansivencss incident to the land and climate. lie is risk, impulsive. energetic, penetrating, pcrsevering, genial, hospitable, friendly, generous. wild, immoral, revengcful, scop- tical and yet. religious. All these qualities you can reckon up in the average Ameri- can and .uotswerve from truth; a strange. ~.mglonteratlott of gnod and evil, man and Atllllltll. god and devil, mixed.

Na building Worth 31200 is insured for say 51000, the Royal Canadian is oblig- ed to pay storm, ifa loss occurs. in such a case the London Mutual is obliged to'pay only two thirds of the cash value, or $800. 2. Ifa horse worth $90 is killed in the" fields by lightning, the Royal Canadian is obliged to pay $90. The London Mutual pays only $60. 3. For a cow worth $30 killed by light- ning the [loyal Canadian pays .83". The London Mutual pays only $20. For other animals the lloyal Canadian pays the full value. The London .llutual pays not. more than $5, no matter how valuable the animal may be. 4. In the Royal Canadian animals are insured against lightning while at pasture anywhere. in the. London Mutual they arr insured while posturing on the premises of the insured only. 5. When articles are insured specifically. such as musical instruments, the Royal Canadian is obliged to pay the full amount insured up to the cash value of the article. The London Mutual pays only two-third of the cash value, no matter what. the in- surance may he. 6. When “ordinary contents ’" of out buildings are insured by the Royal Canadian ALI. implements are included. In the Lon- don Mutual only onc reaper and one mowcr are included, no matter how good others may be. 7. When the outbuildings are notjoincd to each other the Royal Canadian insures under one sum the “ordinary contents” of all building not cut off by a distance great- er than 40 ft., the same as if the contents were all under one‘roof. The London Mu~ tttal requires 9. Separate sum on the con- tents of each building, if the distance is more than 12 ft. This is a. very important difference in many cases. ‘ 8. In the Royal Canadian it is a part of the contract that standard STEAM rnunsnnns , may be used without a special permit and without any restriction as to the distance from stacks or buildings, caretakers, pail-s of water, kind of fuel or direction of the wind. London Mutual were obliged to run their Many of the policy holders in the own risk while threshing last season, be- cause it was found to be itnpcssible to com- ply with thc conditions of their permit. Wilton a. farmer pays for insurance he should secure a policy which will hold him safe when it is most required. 9. The Royal Canadian is obliged to pay its losses within sixty days and usuall takes much less. not pay for ninety days, and since it has The London Mutual need become so hard up as to be obliged to bor- row moncy largely, it usually takes about the full time allowed. 10. The Royal Canadian policy is subject to the statutory conditions only. none of the numerous variations against It has the policy-holder printed in red ink on the back of the London Mutual policy. ll. As to security, the inspector of insu- rance reports that the Royal Canadian has $202,758, the amount he estimates to be necessary to enable the company to carry out all its ett;zage.v.‘.ents 'with its policy holders. Besides this he. reports that it has to the good the $00,000 capital paid in cash by the shareholders, and a net surplus $117,607 making in all a total cash surplus of $5'7,607 to protect its policy-holders against unexpected contingencies. In ad- dition to these cash items it has a subscrib- ' ctl capital of $100,0th not called up. Re- garding the security of the London Mutual ' the inspector reports that the amount of l unearned premium it should have on hand is $290,309. To make up this amountin cash a second call would have to be made or. the premium notes for a large amount, leaving'a surplus of only $74,218, even if there were no bad debts, and this surplus is made up wholly of the unpaid balance of premium notes already heavily assessed. The company reports the losses adjusted but unpaid .at the close of the year at $6,- 387, but the inspector of Insurance finds that the liability for unpaid losses at the end of the year was $20,286. The cash on hand to pay these losses only amounted to $13,911. , In view of the foregoing facts farmers will have no difficulty in deciding as to the company in which they should be insured.
