Tho Order Rescinded.

"If any raise is made in insurance rates" said
President Hawkins. of the Board of Public
Safety, yesterday, "t Will certainly be q great
injustice to those who have to buy insurance.
Our fire protection and equipment is not in near
~ such bad shape as the insurance agents rep
resent IL. yet at their instance the Council has
appropriated $33,5o0 for new equipment, and
extensions Of water mains have been ordered
covering every ENDANGERED factory. Within a
month or two We shall be In better shape 10
fight fires than ever before. and it would be q
great injustice TO raise rates now."s
speaking or the insurance raise Manager A. i,
Allen. of the indianapolis Fire Insurance Asso-
citation, said tat the order increasing the rate
20 per cent. had been rescinded and the adjust
ment OF rates would be left To his supervision
and discretion.
Mr.. G. T.. Coffin said: "a horizontal raise of
20 per cent. on special hazards was ordered by
the Cincinnati managers, but that order has
been rescinded- An increase will be made, how
ever, over the present rates where risks are es-
pecially hazardous"
"What are special hazardsl" Mr.. Coffin was
asked
They are factories mainly built OF wood that
90 not have adequate fire protection. AS fast as
water mains are laid TO these factories. however,
the rates will be reduced. A horizontal raise OF
20 per cent. would be unjust"

A BOARD OF SECRET WORKS
Considers q Drainage System for the
Territory Northeast of the City.
The State Ditch to Be Filled Up at the Cost of
the Propsrty-0wners - The Insurance
Order Observation-Disclosures Affairs.

The meeting of the Board Of Secret
Works held on Tuesday night was to con-
slider the northeast drainage question, and
the relation the State ditch bears to it.
The board has decided again on a thor
ough drainage system for the territory
northeast of the city, and proposes to do
the work early next spring by construct
ing q big open ditch along Man
chester street, which will carry the
waters into Fall creek without
allowing it to reach the city limits. In or
der TO carry the water of the fat territory
near the Atlas e~ugina-works a four-foot
sewer will be built along ThirtIeth street
to Fall creek. IL is considered that these
W outlets will provide a thorough drain
Will prevent future oyerfiows. There will
then be no further use for the State ditch,
and it is proposed TO fill it up. the expense
TO DO borne by assessments against the
property-owners.
City Engineer Mansfield was asked yes
terday afternoon by u Journal reporter if
he thought anything wOul be done by the
Board OF Public Works III the spring to-
ward providing for a drainage system. He
said the board really had the matter under
consideration and he thought the Man.
chester-street ditch would be constructed.
1t will cost about $4,000 to construct this
ditch. and the four-foot sewer will cost
half as much more. The purchasers of the
State fair grounds are very mach interested
IN the drainage question.

The Portland daily press., 1891-12-09

In his speech at Elmi ra last week, Gov
ernor Hill enjoined his hearers not
to sail to remember "that all our finap-
cial troubles for the last quarter of
a century down to this very hour
are the direct consequence of Repub-
lican laws. Republican laundering, Re-
publican incompetency, Republican bad
finance" 1t would be difficult to conceive
of more audaclous statement than the
above. Every body knows that il was
Republican wisdom and soundness on
finance that kept the country from drift
ing into an irredeemable paper currency
soon after the war closed, and that every
step In the progress to resumption Of spe-
Gle payments had to be contested against
the Democrats, who were allied with the
Greenbackers in the mad scheme to make
something out of nothing. Everybody
knows also that 1t Is the Republican party
that has prevented the unlimited coinage
Of the silver dollar, and that, too, against
the all but unanimous vote of Democratic
Senator'S and Representatives In favor
Hiil, however. is euch thorough dema-
gogue that the thinking public have long
since ceased to pay any attention to his
opinions or assertions.

The speakership.

The defeat of the Hon. Roger o. Mills il
serious set back for the Hon. Grover
Cleveland. From the beginning Of the
contest 1t has been understood that Mr..
Mllls was Mr.. Cleyeland's candidate and
latterly that such was the fact has been
openly avowed, and Mr. Mills's managers
have offered it as reason why he should
DC chosen His defeat, therefore, is a seri-
Gus blow to the Presidential boom of the
gentleman from New York, and would
seem to meal that he is not to have the
walk over in the national convention.
which he and his friends have evidently
been anticipating 1t does not put him
out Of the fight. Of course, but 1t shows that
ne has active and powerful enemies who
VIII leave no stone unturned to defeat him
and nominate some other man. The nom-
snation OF Crisp cannot be said to be vic
tory for any particular Presidential candj-
date, but 1t Is defeat for Cleveland.
As to the bearing of Crisp's election on
the pending legislative questions, 1t is diff
cult to speak with certainty. Crisp is Cor
tarin reform, and has very recently denied
that be had any sympathy with protection.
nevertheless he has not gone 10 sucb
lengths in the direction Of free trade &c has
Mills. and his election wonld seem To indi-
cate that the Democrats do not want their
extreme tariff reformers to set the keynota
Oh next years campaign. AS usual thew
prefer to be in position to hedge a little
IL deemed necessary for votes. As regards
silver the views of Crisp and Mills have in
the past coincided Both voted for FREQ
silver In the House, and neither no.
so far as has appeared, changed his mind
on this subject, Mills, however, at the
solicitation no doubt of Mr.. Cleveland and
the Mugwumps, had apparently consented
to use his power and influence to postpone
the silver question until after election.
though his heated denial of report that
ne had decided to make up the COINAGE
committee with an anti-silyer majority
shows that he does not intend that his
agreement to postpone the question shall

Is more to their liking than Mr.. Mills,s
and that be is not likely to resort to anv
extraordinary means to keep the question
out OF the present House. As TO the fit
ness Oh the two men to preside over the
honse, the advantage is with Crisp. Mills
IS not headed and rash. while Crisp is
calm and urbane. No doubt the election
OF the latter will conduce greatly to the

The agreement between the Water Com
pany and the Water Commissioners on the
part of the city to submit the question of
water rates to Judges Peters and Foster
appears to be perfectly fair and honorable
to both. The scope of its terms is bread
enough to allow inquiry into all the facts
that have any bearing on the case. The
referees are gentlemen in whom the public
have full confidence, and whatever their
decision 1t will, undoubtedly, be accepted
by all parties concerned as final and just
