There are few persons familiar with the life and public services of Gen. ‘1. P. Banks, of Massachusetts, who will not be disposed to extend to him their sympathies in the misfortunes that have overtaken his old age, even if these misfortunes be the result of his own neglect or indiscretion. It is a melan- clioly thought, indeed. that a man who has for several terms been governor of his own State, who for twenty years in all, was a Representative of Massachu- setts in the Federal House of Repre- sentatives, and at a memorable period the honored Speaker of that body, and who saw hard service in the late war as amajor general of volunteers, should have reached his seventy-sixth year to be sued by the government for an al- leged shortage of $4,000 in his accounts as United States marshal. Yet the Department of Justice has no alternative left but to institute such proceedings. If a deficit really exists, which it is understood Gen. Banks does not deny, it is but proper that steps should be taken for its rectification, despite his infirmities of age and adver- sities of fortune. It is claimed by Gen. Banks that he lost the amount for which the district attorney is now instructed to sue through the defalcation of William D. Poole, who as deputy marshal for many years, had charge of the accounts, and who was indicted but for some cause never tried for the offense. This does not relieve Gen. Banks from reSponsi- bility. but it at least entitles him to the kindly consideration of his friends, and it would be a generous act on their part, unless the bondsmen are in a'con- dition to make good the loss, to see that the venerable soldier and legisla- tor is relieved'from the annoyance of prosecution and judgment. All this, of course, upon the presumption, which can probably be easily established,that he was personally guilty of no crimi' nality, and that his troubles are chiefly due to the dereliction of another, who has thus far gone unpunished. It ought not to be an hour’s work among the rich men of Boston, to col- lect the sum necessary to alleviate this new sorrow of the old soldier and states- man’s destitute old age. The New York Life Insurance Co. In our daily edition of Tuesday, January 26, we published the official announcement of this great Life In- surance Corporation. The public are generally aware how bitterly this com- pany has been attacked by rivals and by certain newspapers, notably the al- ways bitter and too often unjust New York Times. Recently the Insurance Department of New York made its report, showings. most thorough and exhaustive examination of all its assets and liabilities, and while frankly criti- cizing some of its financial methods and reporting shrinkagcs on certain of its real estate investments, the latter have not been greater than ordinarily happens to the Savings Banks and simi- lar institutions Of the country. But above and beyond all that can be said in criticism, the conspicuous fact, re- ported by the State Insurance Com- missioner, stands out in bold relief. This company has abundant assets to meet all demands upon it by the in- sured. Indeed, his report shows that not another mutual life insurance com- pany in the world has within five mil- lions as much surplus as is credited to the New York Life by the State Insur- ance Department. In its last annual report it claimed one hundred and fif- teen million of assets. The State In- surance Department report that they find its assets to be (after deducting all shrinkages) over one hundred and /wcnt_l,r millions! Perhaps the most convincing proof we can furnish of the faith in this com- pany, that is in us, is the fact that we have ourselves carried a policy in it for more than a quarter of a century, and were so well satisfied and pleased there- with, that we were among the first to take out another on their popular and helpful Tontine plan, which has ma- tured and was promptly paid by the company and netted us more than was promised. No one makes a mistake who insures in the New York Life. ...>..____.-____ Mr. Willard Lines the oldest resi- dent of Naugatuck, died at his home in that town last week. He will be re- membered by ‘many Norwalk people as the gentleman who, several years ago, married Mrs. Isaac Church, on thc Westport road, and a sister of Mrs. Walter J. Fitch. Of him, the Naugatuck Citizen says : ' “Willard Lines was Naugatuck’s old- est inhabitant, and his death takes the last of the generation to which he be- lon ed. ' I e was old and full of years, having come in with this century, but to the last he keenly enjoyed life, and finally, when be bid good-bye, it was as if one temporarily tired of mirth _had closed his eyes for slumber. He lived to see the last one of his boyish associates laid away. He was not a politician, but saw the importance of voting and _had voted every year since 1822. He lived under every President of the United States, except Washington. Honest, simple, patient and joyous, he lived enjoying himself,illustrating daily how much good there was in contentment and toil undisturbed by ambition for things beyond reach. It was such a life as he led that points the way 0 long life. He had no enemy, and how could he have, any more than the sunshine. He looked at the past joyfully, and at the future hopefully, which is a demon: stration of the highest philosophy of which mankind is capable.” 4.fi If sick headache is misery, what are Carter’s Little Liver Pills if they Will positively cure it?

The alleged ground for the con- test is that the sitting member v'vas dis- qualified by the fact that at the time of his election he was postmaster. FATAL L()C<).‘1H)T1‘VE EXPLOSION.
