A Texas newspaper suggests that the
continually increasing number of men who have
been lYnched or otherwise murdered In the
western part OF that state is not likely to inspire
strangers who desire to make their homes there
with confidence. Not long ago two brothers.
one from ONO and the other from Kentucky,
went to western Texas with view Of settling.
While travelling along road one day they came
upon two men hanging to a tree aud shortly
afterward upon party Of masked men In camp,
who had probably committed the deed. They
also happened TO be in Oakylle when mob
murdered several men In Jail, and one or two
outside. On their way back to Austin the STAG G
was robbed and one u the brothers lost several
hundred dollars.

1t was n startling account of the preva-
lence OF the crime Of incendlarlsm that WAS
given yesterday to the Convention Of Fire Tn
derwriters. Tue GO nmitteo on the subject re-
ported that thrtynye per cent. Of oil the fires Of
last year originated from incendlarlsm, and that
lfty-lye per cent. OF the whole amount Of prop
erty destroyed by lre was through incendialism
or, In other words, that the losses by this crime
for the year In the United states and Canada
ran up to lfty millions Of dollars. Tho report
did not suggest any very promising way Of deal
ing with this tremendous evil, but merely pro-
posed the offer OF small rewards for the arrest
and conviction otincendiaries. We should think
that properly trained force Of capable detec-
tiyes in the service If the Board OF Fire Under
writer's would he more effective. The penalties
against incendlari.m are severe enough TO be a
warning TO the guilty, If ylgilantly applied. A
kind OF crime that costs NIFTY millions year
should be suppressed at any expense.

The Sultan of Turkey has adopted n
dangerous policy In calling upon the Khediye Of
Egypt for a military contingent TO garrison his
