NO GOOD REASON

The whiskey dealers of Richmond
and other cities have been holding
meetings and passing resolutions in in
opposition to the Barbour Quarles
bill, before the Convention. We
have not seen, as yet, single good
reason offered 10y them WHY the Con.
vention should not pass or make the
law.
LIST. They say it will hurt their
business. Well, if their business is
such as to be Objectionable to a ma
Jority of the voters, then that bust
ness must hurt some one besides the
dealer. If dealer can show that
his business does not hurt more peo-
pie, especially women and children,
then he can have right to have the
State protect him, but if his business
is injurious to more people than the
number benefited, why, don't ask
protection. We presume, where one
is benefited from ten to a Hundred
are hurt.
2nd. They say if the bill becomes
a law then the business will be
forced into the slums of the cities.
We consider that plea strong argu-
ment in favor of the bill. 1t is an
admission by them that a ma.
jority of the respectable people and
localities do not want whiskey sold
close to them, and shall not have a
word to say as to its not being sold
near them. The State must allow
one to sell in respectable location.
even though it is Known and &C
knowledged by all that a majority of
the citizens do not Wish it sold there.
This point was, and is, their strong
est point, while we contend it ia n
strong point IN favor of the said bill.
'rhey also say when this business is
forced into the slums some will visit
the slums who do not now visit
them. Some few may, but we venture
to say great many will stay away.
But, even admitting some will 90. il
will be far better to let few visit
those places than force the business
on to majority who do not want it.
Certainly no more will visit the
slums than now visit the saloons,
while the saloons will and cannot te
placed where majority of the citizens
object to their being placed.
We still urge that the Convention
make this bill one of our State laws
and believe very large majority of
the citizens will thank them for the
Vest Point Plain Dealer.

well-known citizen of Middlesex,
but who has resided at Primers
Point for the past two years, died at
his home in the latter place on last
Sunday morning of pneumonia.
More than $5O,000,000 were repre-

who owns the Rose Gill estate in

WHILE the general result through
out the Union is not gratifying to
the Democrats the resultin Virginia.
and right here at home, is more than
was expected and fully up to what
was hoped for. a few good Democrats
like Parks. of Page, Tom Edwards,
OF West Point, and Garnett, of
King George-have gone down in
defeat, but all in all Virginia has
acquitted herself obviously. The
Democratic victory in Maryland
should make us entirely satisfied.

swANsoN's WORK.

Whatever may be the extent of
Democratic victory next Tuesday
none will have contributed more to
it than Hon. Claude A. Swanson
the defeated candidate for the guber-
material nomination at the party's
hands.
He has done earnest, splendid, and
aggressive work, but only such work
as was to have been expected of a
Democrat and man cast in his mold
Some of his remarks at Danyille
Thursday night were especially char
acteristic of the brilliant Young con-
gresham, and strikingly illustrate
the fact that with him LOYALTY to
party and devotion to Democratic
principles rise superior to every in
divldual consideration and ambition
And that is the test no less of true
manhood than of political leadership
which puts honor on its following

LIQUOR MEMS APPEAL.

The Christian Federation, the or.
gan of the Anti-Saloon League, will
print In its next issue an appeal
which it states is being sent out by a
committee of the State Liquor Deal
ers' Association, calling upon the
members of the association to con.
tribute funds to be used in defeating
the Quarles-Barbour resolution.
The following is . copy of this
appeal:
ITO the Liquor Dealers of the State OF
Virginia;
I'VE are now confronted by a resoIu-
ton In the hands of the Committee on
Bill OF Rights in the Constitutional Con-
vention OF Virginia, which, if adopted
as part or the Constitution, will DESTROY
the liquor Interests of the State. You
are, therefore, most urgently requested
10 contribute as much as possible to the
contingent fund TO be used In defraying
the expense OF opposing any movement
by the Constitutional Convection or
Legislature against our interests. This
is matter that requires tie personal
and immediate attention of every LIQUOR
dealer in Virginia
You are expected not to disregard
this appeal, as you will surely regret it
!: you do. Your contribution should be
made at once.
The work of your committee will not
be completed even if we succeed In de-
feating the Barbour bill presented to the
constitutional Convention, as those op-
posing the liquor interests in our State
are thoroughly organized and have
large fund in hand, and they are deter
mined to continue their opposition to us
before the Legislature, which meets In
December. We must, therefore. urge
upon you the vital Importance of res.
ponding as literally as possible TO this
fund, which will be used solely, and only.
Tor the protection of your business
Without 1t we are powerless TO accom-
plish desired results. Signed by Com
mittee of Ways and Means.v-

ana we defy anyone to go out among the

the legislatures, but simply protest
against constant ferment-against con.

This may be in line with our con-

views as we have heard them ex-

to quadrennial elections, though how
anything but peace of mind is to be
saved by them we do not see.
Every two years we have to march
up and vote for Congressman. If it
is the number of elections our friends
who are in accord with Brother
Lindsay object to why cannot the

sessions we have several times ex-
pressed our views in opposition, hich

majority of the people in our section. |
No money can be saved by holding

only once in four years, for we verify
believe the necessity will arise for
extra sessions between, and this will

people are far enough away from the

U. 5. SENATOR HoAR, Republican,
OF Massachusetts, declined to address
society on the virtues of the late
President Mckinley on the ground
that he was not an admirer of the
departed, and that they did not "gee"
very well on personal or political
grounds. While less obtrusive and
more dignified Hoar's action is in
line with that of Senator Yelling
tons, who was dismissed from a club

DEAR SIR-Please let me know if ]
am insured in N n. NJ. Fire Assn. ]
have paid all assessments that have re.
ceived of losses, but not having re-
ceived any notice for some time, ]
thought there might be some mistake
about the notice.
Yours truly,
The foregoing is from one of the
most prominent farmers and bust
ness men of Westmorelaud county.
1t is sample of request such as fire.
quently comes to the Office of our
home fire association at Irvington,
and we take occasion to explain in
this public way to some of the in
surance patrons.
Upon entering the association an
entrance fee of rs cents on each 500
worth of insurance is paid. This is all
that is required for period of five
years, except such assessments as
may be levied from reason of loss
by fire of the property of any mem
Der. At the end of the five years
or just previous to the expiration-s
notice is mailed the insured inform
ing him that he can renew for set
cents on the 500.
We have said that only assessments
are required in addition to the en-
trance fee. lie no fires occur the in
sured pays no assessment. If a small
fire occurs the company pays it out
of the reserve. fund accumulated
from entrance fees after paying run
ming expenses, stationery, etc. If a
hire of q hundred dollars or more &C.
ours an assessment is levied pro rata
upon each member for enough to
pay the loss and cost of levying as
sessment For example, A, carrying
$1,000 insurance, will pay twice as
large assessment as B, who is in
sured for only $500. If BIS insur-
ance is barn and AS is house or
furniture, in such a case b will
pay on an amount equal to $3.50
barns being assessed 80 per cent.
more than dwellings. The entrance
fee, though, on all property is the
same.
No single piece of property
is insured for more than $1,000,
and no stores, shops, factories, PROV
ender, live stock and such like are
taken as risks by the association.
Hence the chances for loss are ex-
ceedingly light, and it is chiefly be-
cause OF this rule of the company
that so few fires occur. The associ-
ton has not had fire for nearly
eighteen months, and it is quite
natural that patrons should want to
know what has become Of the COM
pany. Thank you, they are doing
well; 100000 of good insuran ce
on the books, and everything mov-
ing phenomenally well.
