These bonds represent almost nothing,
yet they are tossed about on the market
and bulled and beared as though they
they were things Of actual instead Of
purely fictitious value.
So with grain and flour, pork and lard.
Everything which has, or should have a
standard value, which can readily be
forced up or down, is now seized upon, by
the spectators. Dead stocks and bonds,
which have not been heard Of in the mar.
ket for years, are brought to life and made
10 do speculative service. One Spectator
who has watched the course OF events
closely, estimates that the rise in securi-
ties nearly all Of which areworthless, dur
ing the last year, will reach nearly $780,.
100000.
OF course this manipulation Of stocks
will not seriously affect general business,
but it must tend to unsettle legitimate
dealers in the special articles which are
handled on Change and which are
deemed the peculiar property Of the bulls
and bears. Further than this the excite.
ment Of the market induces those affected
with the gambling spirit TO try their luck
in margins, where there is a chance for
quick protits-or losses. Nothing in bust
ness circles needs checking so much as
the general tendency to speculate, yet
even this has its benefit, for through spec
nlations" the money Of the country will the
more speedily pass out Of the keeping OF
fools, and into the possession OF those who
will make legitimate use Of it.

Al the celebration in Philadelphia, Sat.
urday, Of It's 18th anniversary by the
Grand Army Of the Republic, Commits
sioner Bentley, Of the Pension Bureau, de-
livered an address in which he gave some
interesting facts on the subject pensions
and pensioners. At the outbreak Of OF the
rebellion, he said, there were only $685.
pensioners, and a little over $4,000 paid
them all, annually. On the SOth Of last
June there were 244p 54S pensioners on the
roll, drawing annually S3O,OOO,OOO. The
whole number Of separate payments is
about 100000 or 5000 per day. Over $780,.
900 unsettled original claims are now on
file in the office at Washington, and this
large number, says tho commissioner,
Shows that something is wrong" The
cause Of the trouble lies in the present de.
fectivo system OF gathering evidence to
establish pension claim. 1t is gathered

reau that the claim is just. Frauds
arc SO often attempted that it is absolutely
necessary to make rules in relation to the

The big and little Ikes Of Conservatism

form OF government.
They say:
"The United States is.not nation"
This is Democratic doctrine, through
and through.
But they supplement it with the Radical
heresy, that State is not sovereign, and
has no right to seCede or nulliiy.
II this is the case, where, then, is the
supreme, the ultimate power from which
there is no appeal?
"0hw answer these incredible asses,

At this point the Conservatives begin to
turn, and twist, and hem, and haw; and
finally manage to stammer out fool
answer like this:
"Yes-that is-ah-er-you understand
that is-ahem-we must wait until the
sober second thought Of the people-er-
returns, and-ah-brings US relief, you

We must, Oh?
Well, II that is the case, the General

And this talk about the supremacy of a

A sham,

A LIE.
The Conservatives cannotor will not see
that sovereignty is indiyislble; that 1t can
not reside in the General Government
and the respective States Of the Union at
one and the same time.
We have tried to drive this fact through
their thick skulls; but We might as well
have tried to explain the procession OF the
eQuinoxes to case of dunder.pates.
1t is a fact, as the Conservatives claim,
that the General Government is superior

But tits, likewise, fact that the States

The General Government is merely
their paid tool, hired TO simplify and sys-
their business with alien powers

II this Is not so, the Radical party Is
the only logical party in the country, and
the Government at Washington has the
right to choke the States until their tongues
loll out whenever they give II any OF their

Hayes ON the American Religion.

There are two references TO religious mat
tiers in the message in which Mr.. HAYES
sets forth his objections 10 the Chinese inn
migration bill. He says, first, that the adj
hesion OF the Government of China to the
liberal principles of freedom In emigration
which are embodied in the fifth and sixth
articles of the BURLINGAsIE treaty "was a
great advance toward opening that empire
to our civilization and religion;" and,
secondly, that this action gave promise in
the future-as if all promises did not relate
to the futurc-of greater and greater prac-
teal results in the diffusion throughout that
great population of those sentiments Of
government and religion which seem TO us
so important to the welfare OF mankind"
This language in an executive message
implies that there is some form Of religious
faith which our Government as a Govern
ment may properly promote. Any such
idea seems to us wholly erroneous. "Con-
gross shall make no law" says the Consti-
tuition, prospecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the FREQ exercise
thereof" Tho spirit Of this clause has al
ways been regarded as intoxicating the
broadcast principles of religious federation.
Mohaumedani-m, Brahmausm, and Buddh-
ism are as really religions MS any of the
numerous forms of Christianity. They arc
just as much and just as little entitled 10
official recognition under our national laws.
We have wisely left thi, subject of religious
faith outside the scope of Government i'm
ter.orence, and no ollcoroi the Government,
least Of all ne who chances to occupy the
highest place, should sock to drag it I'm.

Well Done!

The Democrats i'm the House OF Rcprcscn-
tativcs have done their duty in insisting
upon their amendment TO the Legislative
Appropriation bill repeating the act APP
pointing Federal supervisors over elections
for Congressman; and also in insisting upon
their amendment TO the Army Approprla-
tion bill prohibiting the presence of United
States troops at the polls on election days
The two Houses failing to agree respect
Ing these subjects, the bills were not passed,
So that no appropriation has been made for
legislative, executive, and judicial OK
pcnscs, nor has any appropriation been
made for the support Of the army; and ac-
cordingly an extra session is rendered
necessary. At that session the Democrats,
being in Il majority in both Houses, will be
able to pass these two bills in the precise
form in which the Senate has now rejected
them.
The thanks Of the country are due TO the
Democratic members Of the House for
standing firm to the last in behalf Of these
amendments, because they were matters OF
vital and fundamental principle The one
against the use OF soldiers at the polls is Of
the first moment; and it seems surprising
that Republican senators should have con-
tended so obstinatcly Tor thing so danger
Gus to liberty rs a law empowering the EX-
ecutiyc to use the armed force of the coun-
try Tor the purpose OF managing elections.
Hardly less important is the abolition Of
the system Of Federal election supervisors

PORT of this city has from the first been the
most conspicuous cXcmplar. 1t is a vicious
ana noNious system. Thousands upon

There could be no more wilful disregard Of a
plain and immediate duty than the failure
Of the Forty-ilfth Congress to reduce or
abolish that useless band Of tax eaters, the
regular army.
For the first timo in twcnty years, tho
birth Of q new Congress finds the Demo-
Gratis in control OF both Senate and House.
But by the sins OF tho party its majority in
the lower branch has been cut down from
moro than sixty in 1874 TO doubtful dozen
now; and its ability TO organize the House
at the beginning OF the extra session may
depend upon the cooperation Of n handful of
Grccnbackcrs, elected by the aid Of Demo-
cratic votes.
The Democratic party has often proved
itself neither brave nor wise; in spite Of
all shortcomings, the bravery and wisdom
which it cvnced yesterday in the very last
hours Of this Congress augur well for the
future which is now before it.

For all ordinary risks the present rates OF
fire insurance are low, so that the cost of
insuring his dwelling and household effects
imposes only comparatively slight burden
on n man. Our fire companies must not
only compete for business with one another,
but the branches Of the English companies
in the United States have also great favor
with the owners Of property. and carry an
enormous and increasing amount OF insur-
ance.
The consequence has been the cutting
down Of the premiums TO about rs small
figures as are consistent with the security
of the companies and the soundncss Of their
policies. Even the cost of insuring build
ings exposed to unusual risks of fire Is very
moderate at this time, while goods in store
are insurablc at rates against which there
seems TO be brought no general complaint,
for the purchaser as well as the seller Of in
surance IS vitality interested in maintaining
premiums which assure the ability Of the
company 10 meet its engagements. Tho cx-
perience of the last few years, however,
shows that when they are judiciously man
aged, and are not too greedy to obtain risks,
the fire companies can keep themselves in
sound and healthy condition without in
crcasing their premiums from what they
now are.
Yet the loss caused by fire still continues
to be enormous in this country, the figures
reaching total which must surprise many
people. During last year this loss amounted
b. S6l,3l5,90O. Of which the insurance COW
cred S3G,575,o0O. For the four years from
1875 to 1878, inclusive, the total loss was
Sg75 al Isl ~ which tho Insurance c,r,-
panies bore Sl47,674, 100. The greatest
destruction by fire OF course occurred in
this state, the leading one in population
and In the number Of its buildings. The
loss last year was over nino millions, Penn
sylvania coming next with over six mil
lions, then Massachusetts with about five
and half millions, Ohio three and quar-
ter millions, and Illinois about three mil
lions.
or the establishments which are classed
by the insurance companies rs extra haz-
ardous on account Of their special liability
to fire, due to the nature Of the business
carried on in them or to their construction
of inllammable materials. the total number
burned in 1875 was 5229. valued ut $40. 5j7. 200,
and -t,sas,,ssi, t.S -. 90, 49, Thus though
Thes5 sr-c'ais 80 1nri.d in i,sTiant -'- M
lance, were numerically very small minor
ity OF the whole number of risks, the loss by
them footed up to about two-thirds Of the
total losses Of the year
The establishments OF this character Of
which the largest number were burned in
1875 were the following; and the table Is in
structiyc as showing the sort Of buildings
most liable to fire:
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1879-03-05

The figures Of the losses show that, OK
tcnsivelyas fire insurance policies are taken
out, large proportion of the property
burned each year is still uninsured, and is
an absolute loss to its owners. They also
indicate that the owners and tenants Of
buildings in more than usual danger from
fire are not more ready to insure them up
TO their value than those whose property is
subject To- less risk. Thus, in round figures.
while the total loss on all buildings Of what
soever character was SGi,OOO0OO in 1873, that
on establishments in special danger was
si2,5OO,0O0, or about two-thirds. This leaves
the loss on the buildings classed as ordinary
risks only about S2l,500OOO The insurance
on thceXtra hazardous was about s2i 100000,
while that on the others was about Sl2, 5O0, 900.
Tho total loss for the year not covered by
insurance was therefore about S27, 800, 600, or
say threo-sevenths of the whole estimated
loss.
