GONE UP In SMOKE.

The action af the national board of fire
underwriters in calling the attention of
President Harrison to the great and in
creasing yearly losses from fires and ask
ing him to bring the subject to the notice
of congress may not be very practical, but
it may do some good. It is high time
something was done. 1t is pointed out
that where these losses aggregated hardly
$50, ,000, 900 in 1880, they will for the past
year amount up to nearly $40, 900, 600
the average yearly aggregate loss in the
past five years having been $3.50, 200, 900,
bined losses in the Chicago and Boston
fires. The fire losses of the ten years from
1881 to 1890 in the United States amounted
to $1,044, 100000. That is considerably
ing national debt. Moreover, it is an abso-
lutte loss to the country. To be sure, some
of the losers were indemnified, but, as the
underwriters point out, insurance COM
panies are merely distributors, collecting
premiums from the many to reimburse the
immediate sufferers" The country loses
what is burned up, loses it all, and loses it
absolutely.
1t is terrible bill to pay, and most of it
might be saved. The Norwich Bulletin
pertinently remarks: Now suppose the
men who built the structures burned be-
tween 1881 and 1890 had spent the round
sum of 81 ,O44 200, 600 on them, in Addition
to what they did spend, in making them
fire proof. Does anyone doubt that the
expenditure of that additional sum would
have made those buildings practically fire
proof? And in that case, the cost to the
country would have been exactly the same
as it has been-but it would have had
the buildings, which now it hasn't, for
they're burned up.
AS long as the people of this country
continue to be as short-sighted, careless
and greedy as they now are the big fire
losses will continue. The waste is enor-

Progress Versus Conservatism

Progress Versus Conservatism.
To the Edit II of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
1t is more and more evident, the older
we grow in earthly experience, that ours
is world of conflicting opinions. Here,
for instance, is Mr.. John NJ. Hubbard of
Woodmont, Conn, who, while the world
is tumultuous with the hum of human
progress, very Indignantly takes up his
ancient goose quill and proceeds to indite
a communication for public perusal, re-
monstrating against the use of electric
cars on our street railroads. Great shade
of Rip Van Wrinkle! 1t hardly seems pos
sible that any human being can be found
in this age of steam railroads, electric tele-
graph, telephone, Photographs, and other
wonderful achievements of the human
mind, who has the extreme audacity to
staEd up and shout, ''Down with the
brakes on the wheel of scientific progress!"
But this is what Mr.. Hubbard really does
when he enters his protest against the use
of electricity on our street cars. 1t is evi
dent that Mr. Hubbard is rather sold fogy-
ish" in his ideas-that he is living in an
era altogether too progressive for his snail
like propensit:es. He should striveto cul-
tivate more advanced sentiments-try to
become an admirer, and not traducer, of
such benefsctors of the human race as the
"Wizsrd of Menlo Park" The world is
moving, and we must all try to
keep up with the procession. Yes,
Mr.. Hubbard, the electric car is a
recognized factor in street locomotion, and
we must have it in New Haven. The
equine race must get used to the innovation
SO merciful in their behalf, the same here
as elsewhere. And those who still persist
in calling it a nuisance, feeling that their
family steeds may acquire too much met
tie for human safety when they see an
electric car in motion, must either learn
their animals better notions or sell them
for country use and take to bicycles. The
writer believes in progressiveness. Moth
ing would afford him more gen.
uine pleasure than to get on
board a flying machine at the old green
some fine morning in spring, and after a
fine sail of about ten minutes land in
front of Mr.. Hubbsrd's front door in
Woodmont. 1t might have the effect to
frighten his poultry, but we would be
comforted by the reflection that it was in
the line of human advancement. All
these things have got to come" P.

A FOOLISH SILVER BILL.

"A S1A
The curiosities of legislation are many.
1t is related that a law once got through
the legislature of this State prohibiting
fishing through the ice on certain ponds
in the summer months The lower house
of the Iowa legislature has passed bill
making silver full legal tender for ell
debts in Iowa, contracts to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The bill applies to ex-
isting contracts as well as to such as may
be made after its passage. That ia, it
seeks not only to deny the right of private
contract, bat to impair the obligation of
contracts, It is pointed out that in the
latter respect it is clearly repugnant to the
constitution of the United States, which,
in the plainest language, provides that no
State shall make a law impairing the obli-
ga ion of contracts. And in the
former respect the bill is out of
joint with the doctrine laid down
by the Supreme court of Illinois in its
opinion against the validity of the truck
store act of the Illinois legislature. The
court holds as general principle of law
that the State cannot deny the right of
private contract in matters which are
proper subjects of contract at all. If the
Iowa bill should be enacted it would prob
ably be declared invalid on both of these
grounds. But if its validity should be
sustained by the courts there would of
course soon be an overwhelming demand
for its repeal because its provisions would
make it practically impossible for any one
in Iowa whose word was any less good
than his bond to borrow money.
OF all the foolish silver bills this appears
to be the most foolish
