The seventh annual convention of
the National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers commenced to day, Henry A. Oak
ly presiding. There was q very full
attendance. The President, in his ad-
dress said that the Boston and Chica-
60 fires had fully demonstrated that
insuring In companies that charge a
small premium is very bad policy !;
their premiums were SO low that when
heavy losses came they were unable to
meet them, and policy holders suffer.
Referring to the Boston fire, he said
tho total loss was estimated at $40.
0O0,OO0. On this there was insurance
in Massachusetts of $35, 100000; over
$l5, 600, 900 in companies of other states,
and over S4,OQ0,OOO in companies of
other countries. OF this amount $780,
S75,312 had been paid, which makes
657 3-lO0 per cent OF the entire losses.
Reg riding rates, he said that after
the Chicago fire, when ii was found
necessary to advance rates per cent.
that instead ola decrease of business.
the public met it with good feeling
and cheerfully acquiesced in the adj
vance.

ton to set aside the allegations In tho

again driven back. 1t. Leary lost one
man killed and one wounded. The
train arrived safe, but was fred into

The Chicago Times puts itself upon
record editorially as giving the follow
ing opinion of the fearful slaughter of
from sixty to one hundred negroes, in
Grant parish, Louisiana, last week:
at is quite supposable that there was
some unnecessary slaughter in this en-
counter; but the punishment could
scarcely have been severer than their
conduct called for.
The audacity of a cunning sharp
! thief; the scandals of neighborhoods
and families the most fiendish MUIR
ders the minutest obscene particulars
of divorce cases: the tale of the pull
ing of bawdy houses; all dressed in
the most sensational garb, with which
the Chicago Times is filled, has fitting
company in the general character of
of its editorial sentiments. Thenews-
paper that panders to the vicious ap-
pctites of men, women, and children,
with the disgusting details of the
vices of the world, of course has no
principle, no veracity, no moral stam-
ina and no character to fashion its ed
itorials. The public soon learns this
and while the sparkling wit, the keen
satire, the cunning and ingenuity of
the editor gives no little zest to his
productions, yet they do not have the
slightest weight for reliability. Such
a newspaper, is the Chicago Times,
and the above quotation is one Of the
every day evidences Of the wonderful
impediment in its moral vision.
