INSURANCE MEN.
They Meet TO Make a Vigorous
Protest.

IneV meet 10 MAKE n vigorous
Protest.
The insurance men of the city met
yesterday afternoon at the rooms of the
Board of Trade. 1t was special meet
ing called for discussing the proposed re-
duction of the force of the Fire Depart
ment and the cutting down of supplies
and the wages of the men.
There were about thirty present, re-
presenting either in person or by proxy
most of the underwriters of the city. w.
G.. G. Johnson served as Secretary.
Mr.. Brodrick said that from the re-
ports in circulation it would appear that
tain changes in the Fire Department
owners. The Committee on Retrench-
the men in active service and to change
the mode of paying call housekeeping
their regular wages and paying them for
lieved that such changes would de-
with danger to the property interests of
not been called at the instance of the in
surance men, bat at the request of many
property owners who strenuously OBJ
iected to the proposed reduction. He
referred to the case of San Bernardino
where failure on the part Of the city to
provide good water supply had caused
its insurance rates to be doubled.
George H. McClelland offered the fol-
lowing resolutions which were seconded
by @. E. Miles:
WHEREAS, 1t being currently reported that
the "Retrenchment Committee" OF the City
Council has under serious consideration the
advisability of recommending to the Council:
Gay reduction in the membership OF the
Fire Department.
:, (b( The cutting down Of appropriation for
the Fire Department supplies, and
tc) Changing the compensation of the "call"
men, by paying them only for the actual time
and
WHEREAS, It ia the sense of the Fire Under
writer's OF Los Angeles
That the present Fire Department, while
prompt and efficient, Is not too large or too
we'll equipped to cover the large field embraced
within the corporate limits; and
That any reduction in the membership, or
diminution Of the appropriation for the pur.
mode Of paying the saiiS men 1 would surely
weaken tho efaciency Of the department.

and threaten the safety of the city; be It
Resolyed. That the President appoint a
Chairman ex-oficio.) to wait upon the RE
trenchnent Committee and, II necessary,
upon the City Council, and earnestly protest
city as regards the destruction OF property by
fre.
These resolutions were adopted, and as
such committee the following gentlemen
we're appointed by the chair E. F Spence,
of the Southern California Insurance
Company; A. Haas, representing FIVE
companies; G.. A. Dickinson, FIVE COM
panies; George Brodbear, the New Zea-
land Company; and Ben. E. Ward, two
companies.
Several other matters of special inter-
est to the insurance people came up and
were disposed of, and the meeting ad-
journed.
As the action had been taken almost
without discussion, one of the members
of the committee was asked what they
proposed to do. "We shall exert our.
selves to hold back the committee from
reporting in favor of reduction of the
force" said he. with the example of
the succession of disasters which have
overtaken the cities in the northern part
Of this State and in the States above be.
fore US, it is very surprising that such
plan should be considered at all at this
time. When the rates were established
for San Bernardino it was understood by
the underwriters that the authorities
would put in supply of water available
for use in case of fire. They failed to do
it. A couple of weeks ago the Burt
block burned down at loss of $50, 1000.
The question of the rates was reconsid-
cred, and they were doubled. If the
Council should follow out the plan pro-
posed by the committee it is very likely
that the rates will be raised here"

In reply to the question, "Will you and
your friends take part in the coming cam
paign in your State?" propoui ded to Mr..
John S. Wise in New York yesterday, the
reply was: eff certain things arc done at
the convention, and afterwa:d, We will
most gladly; if they are not done, the next
election day will be the finest Gay for fish
ing in the history of Virginia, and 1 pro-
pose to furnish hooks and lines from New
York" As the certain things Mr.. Wise
refers to are the very things Gen. Malone
does not want done, and as the national
republican committee sustain Geu. Malone,
the probability is that unless Mr.. Wise
shall furnish a large supply of hooks and
lines, fishing tackle will be in demand in
Virginia--next November.-Aler. Gazette.

during the late conflict between the States
and the widows of those who lost their lives
in such service are deserving of aid and pro
lection, and favor such liberal appropriation
within the revenues of the State as will tend
to this end.
Twelfth. While earnestly in favor of re-
forming the tariff upon just, conservative
and economic principles, we recognize that
the issues and conditions which confront us
in Virginia in the impending contests are
of immeasurably more Importance than tar
iff reform or the reduction of Federal taxa
ton, important as those questions are. Ev-
cry business interest of the State, every So
cial interest, every political interest, de-
mands that the Democratic party-the par
ty of the people, the party of peace, good
order, and good government-which has
safely and wisely conducted the govern
ment of the State through the trying and
troubous times of the past, shall be contin-
ued in power. We oppose the Republican
party as the party of boss rule. We oppose
tie Republican party as the party of sec
tional strife. We oppose the Republican
party as the party of high taxes, of corrupt
and extravagant expenditure of the public
revenues, of unjust and oppressive treat
ment of the people of the Southern States
the creator of trusts and promoter of mo.
nopolies. We oppose the Republican par
ty as the stirr-up of strife between the races
as the false friend of the colored race and
the enemy of the white race; and we conf
IDENTIFY submit the claims, the principles,
and the candidates which we present to the
judgment of an enlightened and patriotic
people.
The con 7ention adjourned after finishing
up the usual closing business.

lows On the State Committee by J. T.
Coleman, of Nelson; S. F. Coleman, of

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
BY constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu
Gus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumb.
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taker
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forev-
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
oatarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucus surfaces.

Perhaps one of tho worst features in this
whole affair between Malone and the re-
calcltrants in his own party is the imperti-
nent interference of outside politicians
whose regulations are decidedly shady. If
the antipathy of white Virginias generally
to Malone and his devious methods we're
not enough to arouse Democratic party OF
the State, the participation of such char
acters as Matthew Stanley Quay, John s.
Clarkson and William W. Dudley in an eff
fort to compose the Republican quarrel
here, for the purpose of promoting radical
serve to warn the people of their peril and
strengthen their determination to prevent
second subjugation of the Safe to the

A CARD FROM CAPT. t. d. RANSOM.

In answer to a numerousiy signed requisi-
ton. asking him to become a candidate for a
Seat in the Senate, Capt. Ranscn has made the
following reply:
STAUNToN. August 10th, 1889.
Messrs. Alex. n. Fultz, W. P. Tams John l..
Peyton, j. F. Tannehill, Henry d. Peck, J. G.
Marquis and rs others,
Genhemen,-The call signed by you and 9th
er friends, desiring me to become a candidate
before the Democratic Convention for a seat In
the Senate of Virginia, has just been placed in
my hands.
Accept the assurance of my high apprecia-
ton of this compliment, and of the fact that
good opinion and good will of my friends and
neighbors than to any Office in Lhe gift OF the
people.
But have no taste for politics or public life
1 recognize the duty resting on every good Cit
izen and good De mocrat 10 yield his personal
sion requires it, but no such emergency seems
to exist in the present case, acknowledgement L
am far from supposing-that | could be con-
sidered the most available mali to be brought
forward.
MY professional engagements demand my
or office of any sort, and surely there is no
lack of better senatorial timber in old Augusta
Furthermore, it seems that there are already
two candidates before the people for the Legis-
lature from Staunton and think the interest
of the party require that we should give no ex-
cuse for malcontents to raise the old cry OF
county against CITY,"
1 hope you will regard these reasons as suffl.
cient explanation for my declining to be con.
sidered in any sense, an aspiraut for legsla-
tive honors. sincerely yours,
aug Silt THOMAS D. Ransom.
