TnE CLAnioS, that regarded the NUM-

tion and declined to take sides, has thrown
OF the mantle OF neutrality and opposes
tho bill offered to amend the charter OF
Jackson. II not that also local question:
Ledger.
II not, But II is question Of the
right of the people to elect their own
rulers. And II is a question of princi-
pie, even more than question of poll
tics. McGill was elected by majority
of the qualified voters of the city of
Jackson, and his removal by any act of
legislation, would, in our judgment be a
great public wrong, This is, therefore,
not local or personal question, but one
Of n very general character, and that
will be far-rcaching and damaging in
its effects should the effort to repeal the
charter of the city of Jackson succeed

The annual loss by fire in the United
States is about Sl00,COO,oOO. 1t is about
twice as much per inhabitant as the fire
loss of Great Britain, four times as much
as that of France, and six times that of
Germany. AT the average rate of pro-
duction II would require the constant
labor of 100000 men TO replace the loss
The loss is nearly as much as the amount
collected on internal revenue, and one
third more than the annual interest OF
the public debt. The amount OF prem
iums collected by insurance companies
il considerably less than the loss, so That
some insurance companies must fail
every year. II is estimated that 50 per
annum la collected for every man, woman
and child in the United States to pay for
careless construction and negligence In
guarding against the dangers Of fire.

The Washington National Republican
in speaking Of the political situation
says that it may be possible to elect
Republican President without the vote
OF New York, but that II will be much
better to round out the Republican col
umn with her 80 votes. 1t then proceeds
with discussion OF show to carry New
York." and leaves an impression that
Arthur's nomination is absolutely neces-
sary to that end. II says: "The indie
pendent voting which has brought
about such unexpected results In recent
elections in New York is practiced
mainly in the strong Republican coun-
ties. What man who has been named
in connection with the nomination
would command larger vote in all the
counties of New York than President
Arthur? Is there any other candidate
who would get as many Republican
votes in New York city, Is there any
other candidate who would get as many
Democratic votes In the city and Slater
OF all the candidates that have been
named, what one would be more likely
to secure the thirty-ilve votes OF New
Iork?''
