CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, November 3.-There is some
complaint against the action OF the under
writers in increasing the rates Of insur
iInce on grain in store, Before the fire
the rate for insurance on grain aver.
aged two per cent per annum, the rates
for shorter terms being proportionately
advanced, Since the fire the rate has
been advanced TO five per cent per annum,
and the rates for shorter terms are pro.
portionately higher. The advanced rates
are rs follows: One year, 8 per cent; nine
months, 5t per cent; six months, 2 per
cent; four months, " per cent three
months, s per cent; two months, 0 per
cent; one month, 12 per cent; fifteen days,
~ per cent; ten days, IS per cent; five
days, % per cent; two days, 81 per cent.
The Tribune says these rates arc simp-
y ruinous. The risks on this kind Of
property, have been the best paying of
any kind of insurance done in this city.
Tho danger Of loss in elevators, has been
greatly lessened by the fire, and certainly
risks are as safe now as ever. It's more
over unjust Discrimination against this
city. The grain warehouses here arc, as
safe against fire as at any other point, If
they continue these ruinOus. rates., they
will destroy the business, and lose profits
which they might make at legitimate
rates. r.-ai

AS \ SPECIMEN Of rather peculiar moral
courage in adversity We may as well note
the fact that the KanAwha Republican, a
Democratic paper that opposed tho Con-
vention in August last, and that took the
ground in the late canvass that the only
motion in order when the Convention
should meet would be motion TO ad
journ, and that likewise supported the
JOIN HALL, or anti. Convention ticket
comes to us with rooster at the head Of
its columns, and also with this editorial
remark;
"All of our readers know that differ:
ent result on tho election OF members oil
the Convention would have pleased US.
But VIC accept the. situation, and hope
the election of the men we opposed Will
not result in as many disadvantages as we
had feared"
We call this pretty easy virtue or else a
very christian like spirit of resignation
and we don't know which, We don't OBJ:
ject to plenty of poultry at this season of
the year, but We do confess to looking
with some surprise and aversion at that
rooster in the Republican. Il he Is really
u game chicken we should think he would
feel little reluctant to celebrate his own
defeat, Esa ssziI
