ONE SOURCE OF HARD TIMRS-Speakingo of
The vast-and to great extent avoidaoie-fe-
struction of property by fire in this country,
both in number and deStructiveneSs, far more
rapidly than the increase of wealth and pro-
duction. 1t Is computed that from an annual
loss, exclusive of exceptional fires such as
Boston and Chicago Gf they may be called
exceptionally, has increased to sl0o,0o0 1000.
The full significance of this statement cannot
be realized unless anayzed. This loss is the
lrremediable loss of human product and in
dustIy. 1t Is the conversion Of human blood,
Wa00O of value into ashes and smoke AS
Stunning the labor that produced this value to
be worth s. per day, This loss is the loss of
more mo than the combined labor Of 10000 men
membered that this is surplus production. 1t
has been accumulated by producers after
earning iivelihOods for themselves and fami-
lies, and paying their share of the cost of gov
eminent and their proportion of the burdens
OF society. 1t would require, then, the labor
OF 100000 men for twenty years to replace by
only so much wealth Subtracted from the re-
sources OF the country, but ii is the loss of the
productive power of so much capital.

contracted violent rheumatism, which has left
the marks of its violence on his brave limbs.
And now, man Of As. he passed through this
city on his way to Memphis to help that
stricken people as a nurse. He spoke to a

A Crime that Crops Out In all the Debates In

WASHINGTON, Feb. l9.-Dobate on every
possible subject in the House leads in one d-
rection only. Technically, the Acklen- Darrall
election case was before the chamber to-day.
Practically. the House discussed a great crime
by which the title deeds OF the Pres dency were
forged. Mr.. Hale opened the debate with
speech carefully prepared. and in review of
Hayess Southern policy. The speech was
principally remarkable for what he declined to
say. not for what he said. He sketched the
policy and its results He admitted. by refusing

He showed ncontes;ably that prom nent Re-

any other ground. H. met the usual denial,
this time from Randall Gibson. and he only de-
