The church of Latter-Day Saints has had

young bucks taking a census of the faithful ,
their purpose being to Ic.u-n how many backsliders

Tribune. It Is probable that the statement
recently published that there were fully
75,000 Kontllcs in the territory has something
to co wltli the census , ns It occasioned n great
deal of discussion among the loaders at the
time. An old-tltno Mormon , who has now
seen the errors of his ways nnd escaped from
bondage , said ;
"Tho church is not now so powerful In
point of membership as it was a few years
ngo , and although tuo leaders read tbo band-
writing on the wall several years ago , thov

start on a Journey to Now i'orlt on or about
the 15th of this month , says the Chronicle.
Carouthors will not travel iu a palace car nor
will ho go on the emigrant train. Ho will
walk ever four months to make the Journey
nnd the proposed walk from San Francisco to
New York is the result of a wngor made be
tween two sporting men thnt the distance by
the Southern P.iclllc nna the Santa Fo routes
could not bo made In loss than six months.
Caroiithers Is now in Napa city In training
for the pedestrian event of his life. Ilo will

tj wheel a wheelbarrow the entire distance.
IIo will carry ninety-llvo pounds of baggage
on the harrow nnd will bo accompanied on
the trin by n net dog. The start will bo made
from the Oakland mole. Carouthcrs will fol
low the route of the Southern Pnclflo to Colton -
ton and theto will strike the Santa Fo. Ho
will pass through Kansas City , Chicago ,
Plttsburg and Washington. A curious inci
dent of the wager Is the fact that the pedes
trian will bo compelled by the terms of the
contract to count and record every trestle ,
bridge , tunnel nnd culvert ho pn&ses ever or
through on his journey. If bo accomplishes
the feat which ho has undertaken a consider
able sum of money will bo awarded him.

two births wcro nothing outsldo the ordi
nary , but the next seven years she gave
blrtli to twins regularly : each tlrao the
calves were of different sox , each exactly
rillKO in color nnd slzo and both lived. This
Is a good record for a cow , but tno history
does not end hero. Her oldest daughter
grow to cowhood and began raising a family
of her own. Her first effort was n line young
heifer , then profiting by her mother's ex-
perienco she went Into the twin business ,
and for five years has given birth to
twins regularly. Thcso were also of op-
poslto sex and all lived , thus malting a total
of twenty-eight. Pretty good sized family ,
isn't HI But wait. You have not ho.ird of
the oldest granddaughter yet. She believes
in keeping up the good name of the family ,
nnd docs not propose to bo outdone by any
one. She has only been in business four
years , but she has eight to provide for.
Again they are of opposite sox , Just alike nnd
nil living. A nice llttlo family of thirty-six ,
nnd only three mothers and nine years'
work. Now , if anybody has got a cow storv
that will boat this lot him tell it , Wo wont
to hear it.

The Interest income shows n natural In
crease over the previous year. The rents
have diminished in volume , though not in
percentage , by reason of the continued sale
of real estate , the funds from which pass Into
Interest-bearing securities , which , during
the year of sale and reinvestment , affect the
item of uccruod Interest more than that of in
terest received.
It Is n satisfaction to us to learn that an
other company ono of the largest In Now
England Is seriously considering the reduc
tion or the rate of Interest assumed In its cal
culations from 4 per cent to 8 per cent , thus
prnctlcallv indorsing the like action of this
company In 188 , in which wo hnvo hitherto
stood alone Each year's experience Increases
our satisfaction at having taken so important
a step at so early a date and bcforo its neces
sity exerts an actual pressure on oxistlug
contracts.

During 1EOD the company completed sales
of three pieces of real estate at a loss of

at n profit of $397,117.17 over cost , a not gain
of $291,417.07. From the sale aud exchange

sales , whether closing out properties or not ;
but no profit is credited until tbo outiro prop
erty taken in any case has been sold , or
enough of it sold to cover tno cost of tbo
whole , in , which case subsequent sales nro
credited to profit. In several instances
enough of the property has boon sold to pay
the cost nnd the remainder stands at nothing
on our hooks and makes no llguro in our In

The cost of present holdings of real estate ,

MOIITAUTV.
The general death rate of Ib90 was consid
erably increased by the prevalence of winter
epidemics , and wo did not wholly escape their
effects. But our mortality has boon well
within the expectation , giving us a saving on
tabular cost of about $ -140,000. ,
It seems proper to point out to our mom-
hers that In respect to the death hazard wo
nro pursuing what Is fast becoming , by com
parison , a very conservative course , nnd ono
which will give them nn increasing relative
advantage in the cost of their Insurance. Wo
spare no pains to secure the most competent
medical examiners , who are wholly In our
Intorcbt and In the closest contldcntlnl.rcla-
tlons. Our standard of selection is high nnd
ilgldly maintained. Our nmbltlon for great
quantity is not such OH to lead us to cover the
glebe with our agendas , thus exposing our
selves to a loss hazard notalwnys well known ,
leaving the selection of foreign risks to be
made without the possibility of ofToctlvo
control , and necessitating the permanent de
posit with foreign governments of a great
und growing proportion of .the assets hold for
common protection. Wo Uollovo thnt these
things must unfavorably nllect the cost of
Insurance in the long run , nnd that the ad
mlnlstrutivb duties imposed by the principle
of mutuality are host discharged by a re
strictlon of the business to our own country ,
where the hazard Is thoroughly known ,
where wo can fully control selection of risk ;
and retain complete and unembarrassed con
trol of the resources with which wo must
moot our contracts.

By I'nr the largest Item of the expense ac
count , the thing In it which costs the policy
mldcr most. Is the compensation to ngetits ,
vho are engaged in the business ns a menus
if livelihood nnd to whom , tlicrofoie , every
ncroaso In commissions bv n rival company Is
i powerful incentive to change their connee-
lon and a source of discontent tf they do note
o change. The company which pays tlio
ilghost commission will draw to it at last all
ho agents who c.iru only for the commission
ind nothing for what becomes of their ciis-
omor afterward. It will got most of the now
lion entering upon agency work and who
mvoiiot yet learned that the higher their
own pay tao less the dividends to their uoll-
cy holders and the less permanently destrahlo

\Vo have scon our rivals advancing com-
nlsslons and allowances of every sort , fiom

without cutting our dividends and devising

Wo hnvo not nn cfllclont agent who has not

Wo desire to extend to all who need them
the same benefits upon the saniotorms which ,
through forty-llvo years , hnvo made this

Wo ask every member to use actively his

Apropos of thcso matters , it Is of the high
est Interest to note that some ot the severest
critics of our conservative course nud most
strenuous workers for a great voluiun of now
business nro now trying to secure concerted
action to reform the methods by which they
have worked their results. The significance
of this Is far-reaching. Unfortunately for
the success of such a purpose , they abate
none of the ambitions which led to the
vicious methods and which compel their use
until a mote conservative standard of suc
cess shall bo accepted.
Meantime , It is n profound satisfaction to
know thnt tholr every step in loform must
load back to the ground wo hnvo persistently
hold and hold today without need of change.
STANDING Or THfi
On December 31 , 1890 , this company had In
force 01,1-17 policies , Insuring $ lfi : , KM,7l'- .
Its gross assets on thnt day were f. " > S,74 , -
707.44. Its liabilities were $ , VM"r , OT.J. ! " . . ' It's
surplus was fj,572,000.19 , an Increase during
thoycarof$19l,83a.r S.
An examination of the schedule of assets
nnd tholr income loaves nothing to bo said
for their high character.
The liabilities are computed upon a hicbor
standard of solvency than that used by any
other company or by any of the state depart
ments. They calculate upon a basis which
assumes the earning of 4 per cent annual In
terest. Our business up to 18SJ was written
upon the same assumption. That written since
1833 Is upon the assumption of only ! 1 per
cent interest. Our liabilities are computed
accordingly , nnd are therefore much higher
than if computed on the assumption of 4 per
cent througnout ; in which case our surplus
would bo considerably over ffi,0K,000. ( ) There
is no stock to own or control the surplus.
A mutual llfo Insurance company is n co
operative effort by Its member to secure for
their families the necessary financial protec
tion agntnst the loss of the husband and
fatncr. The essential elements of Its success
tire security , equity , loyalty to true purpose ,
prudence und economy. Its success Is a max
imum of family protection nt a minimum of
cost. By these things wo stand to bo Judged.
By thoin all must , sooner or later , bo tested.
