Proceedings of a Meeting of the Ohio
Republican AssOcfatiOn.

Enthusiasm was the characteristic of
largely attended meeting of the Ohio Re

Loyal Legion Hall. Resolutions were adopt

in the exalted mission of this republic as a
world power In the development Of untver-
sal civilization. rejoices that the genius of
the republican party. as exemplified in the
platform adopted by the rational conven-
ton at Philadelphia. which we heartily in
dorse. is progressive and enlightened enough
intellectual forces which are lifting hu-
manity to common brotherhood of lib
erty and equality, and therefore assumes
that the patriotic spirit Of true American
ism should inspire us to accept with faith
and courage the responsibilities Of the care
and development of those peoples who by
the arbitrament of righteous war, prose-
cuted by the matchless patriotism of Will
lam Mckinley and the valor Of American
soldiery. have been placed in our national
guardianship"
port the ticket and expressed pride that
the standard bearer of the party is mem
Der, of the association.
The meeting was presided over by Sec
ond Vice President John l.. French. with
T. NJ. Sullivan as secretary. Messrs Frank
M. Smith. H. c. Hayne, c. G. Morrison and
Robert ]. Harlan were elected to member
ship.

cultural Department. T. NJ Sullivan, John
f. Brooks and P. M. Ashford were appoint

Evening star., 1900-06-22

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
l notice an article in Thursdays Star in
reference to a proposed reduction of the in
Surance rates on houses in this city, and 1t
seems that the Association of Fire Under
writer's proposes to1 reduce the rates from
% cents per S1U0 to 10 cents. while the local
companies not only oppose the reduction,
but also threaten to disrupt the association
if the reduction is made. l trust that the
association will persist in making this re-
duction for the public good, and l hope
the local companies will not be foolish
as to oppose it.
most peculiar situation is presented by
this fight. Here the Association of Under
writers, which has been called a trust -
created and maintained for the purpose of
charging high rates for insurance, proposes
to reduce the rates, which reduction will
certainly benefit the house owners; while the
local companies, backed by local capitalists,
with local men as officers, who ought to
have the interest of Washington at heart,
are forming. or proposing to form, trust
or combination to keep the rates at the
present high figure.
In short, the association proposes to re-
duce the cost of insurance from $4O00OO per
annum to S2JO,e00 per annum, while the To-
cal companies propose to compel the people
of Washington to continue to pay S4O0 600
per annLm for their insurance If the
agency or foreign companies are able and
willing to carry this insurance at Is cents,
why do not the local companies do likewise I?
Surely there must be some profit in ii at
this rate. for If there was not the agency
companies would certainly not propose the
reduction.
The local companies may expect the peo-
pie of Washington to support them In their
contention, but | don't think the people of
Washington are so blinded by sentimental
regard for the local companies that they
will allow themselves to be mulcted out of
Sloo.oO per annum for insurance.

Washington's growing importance COM
mercially, and the far-reaching extent of
the operations of one of its enterprises are
evidenced in the shipment this week of the

Alaska, by William B. Moses & Sons.
This firm has also just been awarded the
contract. for the third year, for supplying
the furnishings for every post office. United
States court house and custom house in the
United States east of the Rocky mountains.
This, 1t Is said, is the largest furniture con-
tract given by the government, and the
fact of its being awarded consecutively to
Washington house, in competition with
leading manufacturers the country over
speaks volumes for the enterprise, integri-
ty and value of this local establishment

The Sculptor's Namef
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

lO tne EultoE OI 1ue EsVeuiuS
In the beautiful and fitting ceremonies
with which the Hahnemann monument in
Scott Circle was unveiled and dedicated
yesterday there was single but that an
unfortunate omission, and that was the
suitable mention of the sculptor's name
Charles H. Niehaus. OF course. this was an
unintentional oversight. but where d nonu-
ment has the distinguished artistic merit
that this has. and Is honored by the selec-
tion not only of the monument committee
but of the board of experts. including such
men as French Bissell and Warner of the
National Sculpture Society, it would have
been a graceful, as well as grateful. act
to have made recognition, however slight
and brief, of the worthy sculptor himself
1t is not the monument committee nor the
finance committee alone who have labored-
think of the artist! What this accomplish
ment means to his life and career, and how
much a single word of gratitude would have
meant. Let US speak it now. if not too late
and send our thanks and congratulations to
Charles H. Niehaus. in behalf not only of
the American Institute of Homeopathy and
its friends. but of the citizens of Washing
ton and all lovers of good art.
FRANK SEWALL.
