1t may be rather early to discuss de-
tails of the pending street railroad set
Element, but the Journal feels moved
to say that as between a reduced fare
during hours when workingmen and
women are going to and from work and
a general reduction for all classes and
all hours. the latter is decidedly prefera-
BILE. The former would benefit only a
class or the limited number of those
who could take advantage of the time
arrangement, while the latter would
benefit all patrons of the street cars.
1t would be obviously unfair to give
the whole benefit of a reduction of fares
to those who ride between certain hours.
Any arrangement that does not include
general transfers would cause great dis
satisfaction and constant friction.

The fact that Mr.. Thomas Taggart is
hesitating about accepting the Demo-
cratic nomination for Mayor on account
of large business interests that demand
all his time is something for people to
think about. Mr.. Taggart's large busi-
ness interests probably will not prevent
his accepting the nomination, but they
should prevent the people from electing
him. Indianapolis needs a Mayor who
is not My a good business man. but
who can and will give all his time TO at
tending to the city's business instead of
his own. The people n afford to
pay a Mayor $4,000 a year for attending
TO his private business.

The prompt n apparently effective
action of our minister to hin in de-
handing protection for American resi-
dents shows the advantage of ex-
perienced ministers. Colonel DENLY has
represented this government in China
many years and Is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with chinese politics and methods
and with members of the government.
This knowledge and his experience as a
diplomatic make him a valuable rep
resentative. When the facts come out
it will probably appear that American
interests in China have been better
protected during the recent outbreak
than those of any other nationality.

A paper was read before the Business
Mems Association of Newport, r. l., by
a business man. in which he advocated
fire insurance By the State. In 1893 the
total premiums collected in Rhode
Island on fire insurance policies was
$4.272 o4s. while the losses paid were
81, 1853, 1882. The difference between pre-
miums and losses was 50, 500, 267, which is
more than twice the amount of the ex-
p~enditures of the State government Of
Rhode Island. He also presented some
figures to show the receipts of insurance
companies and what is lone with them.
The total premiums of all the domestic
insurance companies doing business in
Rhode Island in 1893 were $40, 1S9, 331, Of
which $47. PSI. 959 was paid out for losses.
"a, 400. $50 for dividends and $24, 1886, 219 as
brokerage fees. officers salaries, office
charges and other expenses. While these
figures are suggestive and the writer
out a strong case in favor of the
State assuming the insurance business
in order to make money. it is doubtful
II any State will go into the fire insur-
ance business at an early date.

1t is an outrage that any body of men
working to earn bread for families
should be driven from their employment
and their families from their homes, as
have the colored miners at Spring VAL
ley, Ill. 1t is still more exasperating
that such an outrage was perpetrated
by foreigners. most Of whom are not
citizens and could not vote If naturaliza-
ton depended upon their ability to read.
We have too many of these people, and
Congress will not do it's duty If it does
not enact the bill of Mr.. Stone, of Penn
s~ylvania. to prohibit more coming to
this country. There are now more coal
miners in the country than there is fair
employment for. consequently to import
more, with their viciousness, is to i'm
port pauperism for some of those now
here.

The statement of a Spanish newspaper

touched in the face of enormous
liquidation Of long cotton In the
afternoon, OH reports Of better
weather in the South, offerings be-
came more abundant and decline of
about IA points from the highest
followed. August opened at rs,
advanced to 20 and declined to
7.l6 and closed at the lowest of the
day with the tone barely steady. We
shall doubtless have lively specula-
tion with frequent setbacks like that
of to-day, but the friends Of cotton
are so numerous and so confident
that any very serious break seems
unlikely. We expect that the gene
raj trend of prices will be upward
and favor buying on declines and
taking profits on rallies.
