dren of the late Sheriff :" 80 :Ea
The above announcement appeared in
one of the leading dailies of the principal
city of an adjoining State last Friday (the
1Ith) and breaches u sermon that should
reach the conscience of every parent,
bread winner or head of family in the
land. The party referred to was enjoying
the most lucrative Office within the gift
of the people of his county He was
stricken down without moments warn
ing,and within n week OF his death sub
scription is being circulated for the relief
of his wife and little ones who had n right
to expect him to keep goodly policy in
force for their benefit
God forbid that any one who read this
should be so unmindful as to leave those
entrusted to their care in case of such a
dire event to-beg or steal, ..or to be care
or charge TO kind neighbors
Now, my uninsured friend what do you
propose to do about that duty of yours
that you should have ATTENDED to with
Hart yesterday by taking a policy in the
Aetna?
We venture the assertion, without fear
of successful contradiction that the I'M
natural protector of the unfortunate
family above referred To spent for some
useless luxury enough money to have paid
the premium upon IL policy of insurance
in the Aetna of at least $4,000. How is
it with you, my brother uninsured? Will
you see Hart of the Aetna and perform
that Christian duty?

CUBA DISCUSSED.
Honors Divided between tho. Amr.
NATIVE The Audience Votes.

The library room OF the Young Mems
Christian Association was well filled
last night by an audience Of ladies and
gentlemen gathered to hear the Joint
debate between the association and
scottish Literary societies. The opening
speech was made on the affirmative by
MI. H. G. Avery. 1t was forceful and
eloquent plea for the "Beligerent Rights
or Cuba" Mr. Macintosh, for the mega
tive. argued that the insurgents were
not the people of Cuba, but murderers.
pillagers and criminals; that the United
States would violate the Monroe Doc
trine by interference between Spain and
Cuba: that only jingo Congressmen
among the legislators could be found to
advocate the recognition on the part of
this country of the beligerent rights of
Cuba.
Mr.. A. S. Hall dwelt at length upon
the courageous effort Cuba Is making
for liberty. and the duty OF the United
States to respond to that demand for
which our own country long fought.
MIR. Stevens opposed upon the ground
that the United States is not prepared
10 go to war on account of Cuba, quoting
Senator Sherman's remarks that war
Is hell" and we don't want our country
to go "thcre. The root of the trouble
lies In the fact that the jlngoism of this;
country is playing upon Cuba. That
the respectable people of Cuba are with
Spain. He compared the insurgents to
Coxey's army. We have all we can at
tend to. without war with Spain. Mr.
lSason argued that If we ascertain that
IL any part of the claims of the ins,ir-
gents is right, II is incumbent upon the
United States TO declare for bcligerent
rights or fair play for the weak nation
IL there Is any merit in the Cuban cause
we should declare for fair play.
The last argument for the negative
was presented by Mr.. Duncan. TO the
end that the insurgents have no govern
ment. no flag; II has not arrived at the
state of dignity in which II can be re
garded as entitled to the respect of tn,
world at large; not a band of iilibuster:
and wandering robbers.
| Messrs. Avery and Macintosh. in five
minute summaries. evoked applause b.
their vigorous and cogcnt statements
and In the judgment of both the com
mittee and the audience the negative
won the debate.

FIRE INSURANCE.
n very Important Matter for the
Councils to Consider.
Norfolk, Va. April 6, 1886.

Norfolk, Va, April 6, 1886.
Editor of The Virgnian.
In order that the public may have a
clearer understanding of to just what
extent the proposed reduction will affect
lire insurance rates in the city of Nor
tolk' permit me to make the following
explanation:
The South Eastern Tariff Association.
In formulating their rates here, as else
where, esta blish 4 basis upon which they
pulld up a rate upon each individual
risk. and this basis is the same every
where. viz: Fifty cents OH the hundred
dollars. This Is what we would term in
business n charge for fixed expenses.
Ihe rate is then increased proport tomato
to the hazard, and for this increase
there is fixed schedule. designated as
hXed deficiency charges" fixed eX-
posture charges" These read in part
as follows: For each story above four.
add cents; for stairways open. s cents;
Tor elevators open. 8 cents; for wooden
cornices, cents; for manSard roofs 10
to 20 cents: for lights not safely ar
ranged. 10 cents. However. the basis in
Norfolk. instead o. being so cents on the
hundred dollars, has been rs cents on
the hundred. and this increase of %
cents on the hundred has been charged
because of the fact that our department
has been rated as u second class de-
partment."
Now. the Tariff Association proposes
to remove this charge of 10 cents en-
tlrelY, and deficiency rates and exposure
rates being made UP on a basis of fixed
charges, there will be a proportionate
reduction in these alone This reduc-
ton in rates will apply to every building
in Norfolk. Atlantic City and Bramble-
ton, as well as merchandise of every de-
scription.
] believe that T place a conserva tive
estimate upon the amount that will be
saved the city at large when l state
that 1t will not be less than $4,000 per
annum.
The Fire Committee, after a thorough
inspection of the Fire Department by
Special Agents Middleton and Young,
gave these gentlemen practical demon
stration of the working of the depart
ment. which was more than satisfac-
tory.
The committee will ask from the
Councils at their meeting tonight, an
Increase in appropriation to meet the
expenses Of the department, OF $4,000
per year, with which amount the com
mittee can meet all the requirements of
the Tariff Association and we are as
Sured that us soon as this amount is
appropriated Special Agent James NJ
Young will. within thirty days, come TO
Norfolk for the purpose of re-rating the
city and making effective the reduced
rates
| take this OCCASION 10 thank the Sea-
board Fire Insurance Company for the
information furnished in Norfolk, and
for their active efforts in Atlanta, Ca
to assist the committee in securing this
reduction.
