ENTERTAIN THE STRANGERS.

Tomorrow delegates will be arriv-
ing in this city from this state and
from many parts OF the country. They
come by special invitation from the
citizens of Fort Worth, and the manner
OF their reception will have wide
spread influence. 1t therefore devolves
on the people of Fort Worth to give
them SO royal a welcome as that the
praise Of this city will be ON every lip.
Secretary Biden has been informed
that there will be 500 delegates to this
convention, at least 100 of whom will
be ladies. Owing to the meager ac-
commodation the hotels can afford, it
is absolutely necessary that private
families receive the visiting ladies, and
it is surely not vain to expect that the
houses Of the citizens will be opened.
Many housekeepers have limited room
and Indifferent service, but for the
short time the convention holds, surely
public spirited and hospitable women
will do what they can. A meeting was
held on Saturday afternoon to arrange
for the comfort OF these visitors, and
ladies were appointed to visit the
housekeepers in the different wards
and secure places for the visitors. 1t
is to be hoped that these ladies will be
met cordially and aided in their en-
deavors. The ladies of Fort Worth
have never been slack in good work,
and there was never better opportu-
nifty than is now presented to show
their loyalty to the city and to the
state. Texas must have an exhibit at
Chicago, and the securing OF a credit
able one will largely depend upon the
women Of the state. It will be seen by
reference to another column what was
done at the preliminary meeting, and
the names OF such ladies as are asked
to act on the various committees. 1t is
hoped that the call for the meeting
Monday morning at the opera house
will meet with an enthusiastic re-
Spouse, and that the women of Fort |
Worth will worthily lead in work |
that will reflect credit on the state,
and show to the people from all parts
of the world that Texas. yet in her first |
century, compares favorably and will |
soon compete successfully, with the |
older countries Of the globe.

INSURANCE.
AS A MATTER OF PROTECTION,
LIFE INSURANCE
Is . Necessity-Secretary Windows Mis-
take-The Analysis of the Problem
of Life-Live for Others.
INSURANCE DEPARTMENT.

The GAZETTE opens with this issue de-
partment for items of interest on the sub
ject of insurance, and such matter suitable
for publication as may be received from
field workers, agents and managers and
others interested in the subject will appear
in the future in Sundays paper. Insul-
ance, both life and fire, is business Of
slow growth in newly settled countries,
and the time is not long past in Texas
when both were regarded with q measure
of distrust by those who stood in greatest
need of the protection they afforded. And
yet want of confidence on the part of the
public is not so surprising when it is re-
menbered that but few years ago the
people were without adequate legal pro-
lection against irresponsible companies,
and that the situation in this respect was
taken advantage of by designing specula-
tors who, laying conscience aside, organized
companies for the sole purpose of fleeing
their patrons. Added to this class were
others who for want OF sufficient capital
and the practical experience essential to
success, found the companies that they had
organized without sufficient vitality to stem
the tide of distrust engendered, and after
few years of almost fruitless endeavor were
compelled to retire from the field, either re-
assuring the risks on their books or placing
their business in the hands Of a receiver.
The life companies that had been organized
previous to the war, and had lived through
the experimental period of their existence,
were not affected by the failures of new
ventures, except as the feeling of distrust
retarded their growth in the matter of new
business and the result was that wedding
out Of the spurious and the weak left the
older companies in better condition than
the panicky period found them, and their
career has been one Of uninterrupted prog
ress since.
The insurance commissioners report for
the year euding January l, 1891, shows that
twenty-five life companies are doing bust
ness in Texas, and that these companies
wrote last year in the state $50, 500, 800 of
new business. On the first day Of January
last there were 25,l9l policies in force,
sT9, $40, s62 assurance. Seven
hundred amp eighteen claims were paid dur
ing 1890. amounting to s666,655 These fig
ures give some idea of the amount of bust
ness forethought exercised by those who
have estates and dependents to protect, and
speak volumes for the energy and earnest
ness of the men who persistently solicited
and secured the business.

AT SALT LAKE.
The Presidential Party Met by an Enthusi-
astic Populace, Irrespective of Re-
HSious Creeds and Politics.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, May 9.-The presiden-
tial party arrived at Salt Lake City via the
Union Pacific road at an early hour this
morning and had a royal reception. in
which all residents, without regard to poll
tics or religion, seemed to have joined Es-
corted by Governor Thomas, Mayor Scott
and large delegation of citizens, the party
proceeded to the Walker house at O'Clock
and partook of breakfast They then took
places in the procession, composed Of
United States troops, state guards, Grand
Army men, veterans, pioneers and other
local organizations, and were escorted to a
.gaily decorated pavilion in Liberty park,
where a formal address Of welcome was
made by Governor Thomas and Mayor
Scott. Responses were made by the presi-
dent, Postmaster-General Wanamaker and
Secretary Rusk, and their patriotic utter
ances were loudly appauded.
The visitors were then taken to the new
Chamber OF Commerce and the president
formally opened the building for business
He afterward reviewed the public school

them sing America" and tsHau Column

The presidents party then paid a short
visit to the Mormon tabernacle and other
points of interest During his stop at the
hotel and at the pavilion, the president
shook hands with nearly 1000 persons, in
Guiding many leading Mormons The entire
city was profusely decorated. The temple
was also beautifully decorated The motto,
Fear God, Honor the President" printed
In large letters, adorned the south side Of
the building.
One of the incidents of the visit was the
presentation to the president of solid sill.

CHAMBER Of COMMERCE CALL.
Have Texas Represented at the Column
bian Exhibition at Chicago in 1898.

The chamber of commerce has issued the
following call:
The legislature of the state OF Texas has
refused to make an appropriation in
aid of the Columbian exhibition and unless
immediate steps are taken our great state
will have no way of showing to the world
its greatness and vast undeveloped re-
sources. With view to overcoming the
difficulty the Chamber of Cornmrce of Fort
Worth asks that the various cities of the
state, the Chambers of Commerce and
Boards of Trade, commercial org anizations
progressive organizations. and county i'm
migration societies send delegates 10 @ con-
yention to be held at Fort Worth on May
u at II IN. to discuss plans, and, If possible,
organize for the purpose OF having the state
efficiently represented at the Columbian
exposition.
1t is, therefore, requested that each COM
mercial organization appoint one delegate
and one lady delegate for every ten men,
bers. Each immigration and progressive
association one delegate and one lady dele
gate for every twenty members, each city
one delegate one lady delegate for every
1000 inhabitants. Kindly acknowledge the
receipt of this call, and forward to the sec
rotary of the Chamber of Commerce the
names of the delegates appointed. Truly
yours, K. NJ. VANZANDT, President

JUDGE HIM BY HIS WORK.

An atrabilious contemporary that
belongs to the party OF the 'left" can
see nothing to think we'll of in Senator
Reagan's resignation of United States
senatorship to accept q place on the
railroad commission. 'He simply sac
riices 5000 position" comments this
decayed Thyrsites, that he could not
by any possibility have retained longer
than two years, for $4,000 position, his
tenure of which is reasonably certain
to continue during the balance of his
life"
The term of Office of the commission
ers expires with the expiration of the
term of the governor appointing them.
Mr.. Reagan's official life as railroad
commissioner will end before his Off
cial life as a senator would have ended.
Unless reappointed. he will go ont on
the second Monday of january, 1893,
and he would have continued in the
senate until March 4, 1893. He may,
indeed, be given another term as COM
missioner, but that will show to his
credit, for it will be evidence that his
services as commissioner were so valua-
bic that the state still has need OF him.
And this service may be of such worth
that succeeding governors will not let
him go, but will keep him there as long
as he lives. Should such prove to be
the case, the balance OF credit will be
in Mr.. Reagan's favor, for he will have
given more than value received.

ENGLAND IN INDIA.

The ''holy city Of Benares," as it is
called, Is the Mohammedan Mecca Of
India. It is located high up on the
Ganges, and every inch of it, especially
its numerous pagan temples, is sancti-
fed and holy. The English, who rule
Hindostan, and have prosperous
colony of traders and strong garrison
at Benares, wanted to erect water
works building at a certain point. To
do so, it became necessary to remove a
pagan temple standing on the desired
spot. The Mohammedans refused to
remove it, when the English, in utter
disregard of their wishes. and with a
genuine contempt for their religious
notions and traditions, proceeded to
tear it down. The fanaticism OF the
natives was instantly aroused, as II al
ways is when their gods are insulted or
mistreated, and the fires of rebellion
were quickly lighted.
And this is the way in which the nu-
merous instructions and rebellions
that have cursed that unhappy land,
since it long ago came under the sway,
of English rule, have generally origin
ated. English tyranny, greed or con-
tempt for the conquered, have caused
them all. The measured arrogance
and naughty bearing of the English
towards their colonial subjects, as well
there as elsewhere, are proverbial, and
prove how difficult it is for them as
rulers to understand the force OF ma
tive prejudice, and the veneration felt
for moss covered traditions. To use a
colloquialism, it is here that the Rus
SLAMS have the edge on the English.
Their steady and conquering advance
from the Caspian to the confines of
and the success which they
meet in rapidly conciliating the good
will and friendship of the tribes and
natives brought under the rule of the
car, prove the superiority of their
methods over those of the English.
And it will be by virtue OF this very
in dealing with native |
prejudices, that the Russians will Ill |
be enabled to dislodge the |
and attach Hindostan to the |
cars dominions.

hided by another sued for s75, 900 dam
ages and was given sl26. The judge
granted new trial in this case because
the penalty was too light.
So far as the justice and propriety Of
the matter goes we believe the Judge
was right. The boys leg was paved
by horse, making probably q painful
wound, but to make the owners OF the
horse pay $4,000 for it is an extreme
charge, which probably would have
been much lighter had not the defend
ant been corporation. And S126 does
look like cut rate on cowhiding, even
in these dull times. The judges esti-
mate Of the measure of damage due in
each of these cases was more in keep
ing with our sense of justice than the
iury's; but, If the judge may put his
opinion of the facts above the jury's,
what is the use of having q jury trial
in the first place?

DOES LIFE INSURANCE PAY2

is frequently asked when the subject is first
presented, and since the agency force of
Texas contains number of men competent
to answer the query, The GAZETTE refers
the matter to them and will give space to
the reply.
Scarcely had the grave closed over the
body of the late Secretary Window, says
the Spectator, when publicity was given to
the fact that his estate was but small, and
that his family were left with insufficient
means to maintain them comfortably. A
fund for their benefit has been raised among
prominent financial men, and there is no
doubt that a sufficient sum was subscribed
to place the widow and children above want
This is right and proper, for Secretary
Window was an honest, upright and faith
full public servant, who died with his official
harness on. But it is sad to think that the
family of so able man should be COM
PEELED to appeal to charity for the means of
support which it was the duty of the hus-
band and father TO have provided for them
during his lifetime. This he could have
ported that he was assured for $500; it
should have been for at least ten times
that amount, so that the interest de-
rived from this source, added to the income
from the rest Of his estate, would have placed
his widow in position of independence
While Secretary Window was never a rich
man, he was for many years prior to his
death in receipt Of liberal income from
his official positions and investments, SO
that he could readily have carried large
amount of assurance upon his life had he
desired to do so. That the subject had
been under consideration is shown by the
fact that he was assured for q compare
lively small amount, but he doubtless felt
that he could invest his money to better ad-
vantage than by purchasing additional

SETTING ASIDE JURY vERDrcrs

The prevailing belief is that in this
state juries are judges Of the facts in
certain cases tried before them, the
judges being expounders of the law.
That notion must be abandoned, or at
least modified, as the action of the
judges in two cases recently tried goes
to establish a precedent for allowing
the judge to put his opinion above that
OF the jury.
