Fire Insurance.

possessing, ill-gotten gains, boarding up
millions of dollars. We are surprised, in
deed, amazed tina It gentlemen OF business
experience many Of them beneflciares
Of fire insurance companies, should say
aught against an institution SO thorough
~ attrinstc. so fully philanthropic. and
SO entirely humanitarian In all Its meth
DDS. It may be possible that In few
small towns where heavy losses often
occur, with buildings Of such character
and In such position as to compel an In
crease Of charges. rates may seem to be
too high, and in fact. may. with proprie-
3ty, admit of some reduction. In such
event, the Southeastern Tariff Associa-
stlon is ready, willing and DESTROYS to
he ar complaints. and II at all reasonable
and without ldetriment to It's business in
}terests, cheerfully reduce such rates.
Suppose on account Of the ruinously
small net revenues which accrue to fire
insurance companies, all OF them should
be +c0mpeiled TO WlthdraW from business,
lis 1t possible to calculate tho widespread
misfortune. which would be occasioned
thereby. Millions OF homes. destroyed BY
fire. never rebuilt; thousands OF mer-
chants forced into bankruptcy; hundreds
OF capitalists reduced to pcnury. It Is q
duty. which every good citizen, owning
linsYrable property. owes TO his family,
to- the community In which lie lives and
to himself, to give patronage, aid and
'encoura cement TO fire Insurance. In apr
probation Of the principle 1t represents.
we trust fire insurance companies will
not be embarrassed with such legislation
as reduced their profits even below lilo
small sum of about two per cent. per
annum, net on premiums, the results OF
their business efforts for 10 many past
years.

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION LAW.
Argument Begun in Supreme Court by
Mr.. Wise and Attorney General.
(By the Associated Press

Washington, d. c., April A large
number of negroes were present in the
United States Supreme Court today, to
listen to the arguments III the case af-
tecting the constitutionalty OF the Vir-
glnia election law, which was designed
to exclude negroes from voting. Two
cases were argued together. William H.
jones and Others, and William S. Sell
dem and others against Governor Monta-
que. All the seats and available stand
lEg room behind the bar of the court
was occupied by negroes and there was
row extending from the door of the
court along the corridor into the rotunda
of the capitol. Many of them were wo-
men. who seemed to show as much inter-
est In the case as the men.
Mr.. Wise occupied the greater part of
the day and was followed by Hon. Will
liam A. Anderson, Attorney General of
the State of Virginia, who had scarcely
begun his argument when the court adj
jorrned.
Summarizing his case at the close of his
address, Mr.. Wise contended that the
Virginia constitution was null because
the convention by which it was adopted
was never organized and because the in.
strcment was never submitted to vote
of the people of the State. The constitu-
ton was, he declared. in contravenuon
of the Federal constitution and he urged
upon the court the Importance of the
case to the colored people, saying that
with them it was a question of liberty
which they believed to be guaranteed by
the Federal statutes. ''If," he said, there
is no protection for them mere, then all
their pretended vested rights are but az
sounding brass and tinkling cymbai.
True. he said, they would be citizens
with the obligation of citizens, subject
TO be called upon to perform service
of such, but in no position to claim the
advantages of citizenship, and without
any right to claim protection of the laws
of the land.

Today r. e. Comstock, lawyer OF Provl-
dence, appeared to represent the Rey-
nclds firm, OF which company sully IS
pre- sident, and eithar Sully or his wife,
the majority stockholders.
The question then arose as to the bust
ness as to which firm had the, right to
represent the surplus. After hearing
arguments Judge Holt decided to refer the
matter to United States Commissioner
Alexander as referee to take evidence.
Commissioner Alexander will decide and
report as to who can properly represent
the Sully interests. 1t is probable that
sully and possibly his wife will be called
as witnesses in the hearing which may
begin tomorrow.
