not have to theorize in the least de.

The homestead law, an act that has
enabled many a workingman to rise
above the plane of the employe, is Of
Republican enactment; the abolition
of slavery, also law for the benefit
of the laborer, owes it's existence to
the Republicans; the Chinese exclusion
act is another Republican measure;
the protective tariff, under the opera
tons of which thousands were taken
out of enforced idleness and placed in
profitable and permanent employment,
is certainly not Democratic meas
ure, yet it is one of the greatest ben
efits that any law can be to the toiler,
the eight-hour law for employees on
government work was passed by a
Republican congress and Republi-
can president is enforcing it to the let

WILL NOT SHlRK LOSSES
Fire Insurance Companies, Though
Hit Terribly Hard, VIII Face
the Music.

New York.-The fire insurance
men have radically revised their esti-
mates of the losses the various com
panies will have to pay as a result OF
the great connagration in San Fran
cisco, On Thursday it was believed
that the total loss to the insurance
companies would run somewhere be-
tween $5O,00O,OOO and $55, 100000 1t is
the general opinion that the companies
will have to pay out fully 500 900 900
and few men make estimates running
as high as $145,OOOO00. However, all
such estimates are merely guesswork
The general scheme is to deal with
HE fire sufferers on liberal basis, but
some of the smaller companies, it is
reported, will try to minimize their
losses by fighting claims on every pos
sible technicality, chiefly on the ground
that buildings were destroyed by earth
quakes before the fire touched them
On this subject, E. H, A. Correa, of the
Home Insurance Co, said:
Amy company which attempts to es-
cape its liability by such a subterfuge
might just as well go out of business
forever. Some Of them have been hit
very hard and one or two of the big
companies will be seriously affected, but
none Of the latter will attempt to dodge
liability by any Qulbble.
THE big companies will take their
medicine, and prepare to capture new
business by their prompt payment and
equitable adjustments

to his reasons for not signing it:
"Out of Difference to the almost
unanimous vote of both branches of the
legislature, whose members had made
a careful investigation of the matter,
and the universal demand OF the people
living along the line of the Mobile,

this bill to become a law without my
signature, Notwithstanding my misgiv-

afraid the bill violates section 81 of the
constitution OF Mississippi, but as to
that there is wide difference of opin-
lon. However, l thought it prudent to
resolve the doubt Of its constitutionality

very careful in the use of the veto pow

they may be, will find ample protection

to-day from New York for California
to cooperate there with the Red Cross
branch in the work of relief, In or
der that this work may be well sys-
tematlzed, and in order that the con-
tributions which | am sure will flow in
with lavish generosity, may be wisely
administered, | appeal to the people Of
tha United States, TO all cities, cham
bers Of commerce, boards of trade, re-
lief committees and individuals to ex-
press their sympathy and render their
aid by contributions to the American
National Red Cross. They can be sent
