THE OBLIGATIONS OF FIRE POLICIES
FOR GENERAL AVERAGE" ASSESSMENT
In letter from Baltimore to the New York
Journal of Commerce, 80. H. NJ" states the
following case:
An ocean steamer, insured under fire poll
cies only, takes fire in her lower hold while
loading cotton at a Southern port. To ex-
tinguish the fire and prevent a total loss the
steamer is flooded ami sunk at her berth; is
afterward raised, cargo discharged, cared for
and sent to it's destination in same steamer,
and is sold to determine the loss on the same.
An adjuster states the usual general aver
age claim against the steamer, freight and
cargo which embraces such costs as the ex-
tinguishing OF the fire, raising the vessel I'M
loading and reloading cargo, and damage
thereto, etc. Please state the obligations of
the fire policies to repay the steamers owners
for the contribution assessed against her In
the general average"
To which the Journal of Commerce replies
rs follows:
1t is hardly proper for us to decide ques-
ton which is soon to come before the courts,
perhaps in the very case to which our corre-
owners OF the steamer George Appold against
certain Baltimore fire insurance companies
for similar loss. The fire underwriters,
while willing to pay the loss by fire and
reasonable proportion OF the expenses OF e4-
stinguishing it, have, as far as we know, de,
clined to recognize their liability for general
average, such as is acknowledged In marine
insurance, and the case we nave noted WALL

Three ship loads of ralls are coming from New York. Three whole ship loads, bought at s32 per ton, just as good rails as used to cost $80. Most people have an idea that a ship load is some- thing immense, just as some men know that ship is hollow. A 15OO ton clipper is big ship. No such vessel dares los,d over 700 tons of rails; more than that would roll the masts out of her; and even that is a big proportion Of dead weight to bulk cargo. 2OOO tons of rails 56 pounds to the yard; twice 176O, or 352O yards to the mile; over 100 tons to the mile, counting chairs and spikes. Three whole ship loads would build a railroad about twenty miles; nearly to Gila City. Guess they will need those rails for re- pairs, wash-outs, etc.

ApOlcsetic Explanation.

The Prescott papers have scOld- ed us for grumbling because the Bank of Arizona only offered so per cent for pay vouchers of en- ployees of the Territorial prison. We thought, and still think, that offer was too low. We have known of army disbursing officers, in col fusion with merchants, using gov ernment money for buying up vouchers at an immense profit. Weknow that great sums of mon- ey have recently been paid into the Territorial treasury; that the Territorial Treasurer is also a pill lar of the Bank of Arizona. Ev- erbody knows these facts, while possibly not everybody has the same blind confidence in that Treasurer's integrity that the SENTINEL has. Under these cir cumstances it becomes easy for weak minds to suspect the Bank of Arizona, in collision with the Treasurer, of following an army precedent and of using Territorial money in the purchase of Terri torial vouchers, at discount ru- inous to Territorial creditors. The Enterprise says we would think better of the bank if we had seen its money. We never have seen any of it, but Marion says he has i; possibly that accounts for his late faint-heartedness on Democratic organization. Beach, of the Miner, keeps his money there and prob ably gets dividends.
 If first bonds of rich and grow ing county like Maricopa, bearing good interest, cannot be handled by a Bank of Arizona," but have to be sold in San Francisco at 80 cents on the dollar, we may surely be pardoned for wishing we had 8 bank here able and willing to negotiate large loans of $50 and over, and seeking other collateral than earrings or shawlS.
 If any further apology or expla- nation is required, just say so.

Our friends of Pima county are also moving in the right direction, and are about to meet again fol perfecting their organization. Down here it is understood that their movement is led by Lewis c. Hcghes, Esq, a prominent Democrat of Tucson, and former editor and proprietor of the Star. MT. William Oury has been placed in the chair, to secure the adhe- sion to the movement of class of old residents and pioneers. The services of MT. Carpenter have been secured, as secretary, because he is a genial gentleman and writes good hand. All the par ty now lacks in Pima county is to hunt up some principles and to avow them {; mere scolding and negations are not material enough for carrying elections.

In simple justice to a firm that has been very kind to the SENTI- MEL, we want to say good word for Marder, LuSe & Co.,, of the Pacific Type Foundry, San Fran cisco. All our orders have neces- essarily been small, but they have been attended to as promptly and packed as carefully as if filled for a city daily. We are as much pleased with the goods as we are with the treatment and can safely recommend the firm to men who are, like ourselves, small purchas- CTS ot printers material.

On Railway Advancement.


 article, deprecates any opposition "tO live railway builders con- structing road towards the heart of Arizona" It dilates upon the advantages to be derived from such a road and, after successfully demolishing an imaginary oppo- nent, sits down to wipe off the precipitation of triumphant effort.
 Dear Sister, there is no such opposition in Arizona; you have imagined something-and talked about it.
 Yuma might be charged with a wish to retard railroad progress and to retain the terminus right here; but Yuma is guilty of no such selfish or short-sighted de- sires. When the Southern Pacific was actually building, and while there was hope that Scott's schemes would force it to continue building across Arizona, no peo- pie tried harder to help it than did the people of Yuma and the SENTINEL.
 And we helped it; while others did nothing but talk.
 But when it became evident, as it still is, that the Southern Pacific has neither intention or prepara- tion for extending its road "to- wards the heart of Arizona ;" when it became clear that its promises to build were hollow 1; that its assurances of preparation were its conscious frauds upon the people, uttered solely for the purpose of securing our aid in choking off competitor, then the SENTINEL stepped to the front, espoused the true interests of Ari- zona, and exposed the fraud so effectively that the Southern Pa cific journals have ever since been kept full of eXtenuation. We did it so effectively that Huntington was forced toplay thelast trump in his hand by Offering-he has only "offered"-to build the road with out aid and under governmental supervision, in the hope of thus killing Scott's competition. A thin bluff.
 To railroad progress there is no opposition anywhere for Give railroad builders' we have only encouragement and help. At the first indication of real progress !" towards the heart of Arizona" no hat will be tossed higher than ours, and no journal of Arizona will give more efficient help to railroad than will the SENTINEL.
 But we shall never join the Git izen in hosannas to corporation that is trying to PREVENT the people of Pinal county from hay ing any railroad communication at all, except over long wagon routes to Yuma. Of the two com. panies we prefer the Southern Pacific; but we would rather have Tom Scott than get nothing at all.
 If Arizona wishes to succumb to the Vaccinations of the Southern Pacific, as a toad does to the charms of a snake, and to allow it. self to be taken by the heels at Yuma and gradually to be sucked into the creature's digestive or gans, then the Citizen may be re- decting public opinion.
 For our part, we want railroad | that crosses the Territory, and | hat, instead of absorbing us, shall | tself be absorbed among our Insti- ;utions and share with us cOm- mon prosperity. This end will 1 not be attained by putting the neck of Arizona under Southern Pacific feet.
 Plain words and fearless acts will do more to secure a railroad han will fiattering speech or me- lial service.
 Nevertheless. if the rest of you .an be satisfied with terminus

FooLscAP PAPER.-When l was
little. it was great puzzle to me
what was the matter with the paper
called .foolscap. Why did the folks
give such an impolite name to such
nice, big, convenient paper? This is
the way Of il. When Oliver Crom-
we'll was Lord Protector of England.
he had cap of Liberty made as .
stamp Of all the government paper.
After his death. and the Stuarts had
returned. it happened one day that
King Charles the Second wanted to
write a letter. They brought MIN some
of Crom wells paper. He noticed the
stamp and said: What is that in the
coruers' When he was told he flew
into passion. and said Take it away.
None of your foolscap for me :
This little bit of history will make
you understand why one class OF paper
which you use has so dull a naue.--
