The decree condeming us to earn-

Marvelous and beautiful are the

Important Factors.
The New York World thinks
those five factors which will un
questionably help the democrats
in this campaign are :
1. The support of Mr. Bryan by
two of the ablest and most effec
tive of Mr. McKinley’s advocates
in 1896, Carl Schurz and Bou *ke
Cookran, an d by ex-Secretary 01-

Galveston's Life Insurance.
The question of life insurance is
one of the many features of loss
involved in the Galveston disaster.
Probably never before were so
many people in a civilized commu
nity, where life insurance compa
nies are likely to have a good many
risks, wiped but of existence as
were destroyed by the hurricane
which swept the west and north
west gulf coasts On September 8.
Even under normal conditions it
is too soon yet for the companies
to have received any returns to en
able them to estimate even ap
proximately what their losses
from destruction of life would be.
In the ohaos which reigns in Gal
veston it will be weeks beforo^any
approach to an accurate b&yp of
I'p^ipl^ vpi be. reached. ¥ *#
" In a general way, however,* the
companies here in New York are
convinced that Jiieliri losses Will
not be a serious matter. In the
entire state of Taxas the Equita
ble Society has $20,000,000 of
moiiey repfesen ted in 1 ~ risks, the*
Mutual Life $29,000,000 and the
New York Life, $28,000,00. Na
turally, the proportion of these
sums actually represented m Gal
veston was comparatively small.
These companies, for one things
do not insure the lives of negroes,
the great bulk of their business
being confined to white men.
Out of the 5,000 people estimated
to have been killed m Galveston
a large proportion was negroes
and a still larger proportion
women and children. In fact,
women and children formed the
overwhelming^ majority of the
victims. So, eliminating the ne
groes and the white wpmdn/ and
children, the number of adult
white men killed is comparatively
small, and of these the percentage
who had their lives insured is still
smaller—probably not more than
4 per cent. It is estimated that
at least two-thirde of the victims
weTe women and children, which
would leave something like 1,600
adult men who lost their lives.
W hen it is remem bered that many
of these are negroes who are not
insured and that of the whites
themselves a comparative smali
proportion take out life polices
it will be seen that the number of
those for whose deaths the in
surance companies will have to
pay is not so large as to become a
serious matter, when divided up
among a number of companies, for
oiw one company to face. New

3. The fact,. which Mr. Bryan
and other democratic speakers are
bringing to public notice, that the
undoubted prosperity of the coun
try has been and is very unevenly
divided. While railroads, bank
ers, manufacturers and specula
tors have grown richer, the in
creased cost of living has in mao;
instances more than offset every
advance in wages, while, persons
with smal 1 fixed incomes . have
gained no advantage whatever.
# The undeniable fact that
trusts and other monopolies have
greatly multiplied since the repub
licans came into power, and that
nothing whatever has been done or
honestly attempted to punish or
to prevent them. r
5. Last-~and perhaps yet to be
the most importan t-^-the great
coal etrike. It is not impossible
that this will be, even more than
was the; Homestead trouble so
hurtful to Mr. Harrison in 1892,
an object lesson on the effects of
monopoly that no flapdoodle about
‘feu# dinner pails” will be able to
offset; and this despite the fact
so strongly proclaimed by Presi
dent Mitchell, that “politics will
not, cannot and must not enter in
to the strike.”

Bailey Beta on Bryan.
A recent dispatch from Lexing
ton, Ky., says: Joe Bailey of Texas
and H. L. Asher of this place haye
made a wager on the presidential
race, involving most all of the for
tune of Asher and a good slice of
Bailey’8 belongings. Bailey/ wa
gers $15,000 against the trotting
stock of Asher’s farm that Bryan
will win; Asher’s stock consists
of two stallions, a lot of brood
mares and youngsters, num bering
in all 216 animals. Bailey has
moved his stable of trotters to the
Asher farm where they will have
the advantage of the trotting
track. The Asher placo was for
merly owned by W. C. France of
New York and is a well appointed
establishment.
