That the cost of insurance on church
buildings is out of proportion to oil risk i;
evident to every one who has had the care
of church property on his hands. This fact
has also been observed abroad, and the gen.
eral assembly of the Presbyterian church OF
ireland has recommended a scheme OF
church fire insurance. This is the result OF
investigations which showed that during
five years, in which they paid $4,000 in
premiums, the total loss by fire was only
$1,000.

Coldwater Republican: The business
manager of the Grand Rapids Herald gives
a sketch of the business end Of Valley City
journalism. From it we gather that within
the past four years the newspapers of Grand
Rapids have sunk $3.50, 900 clear out oil
sight, while two Of the papers, the Leader
and the Eagle, have gone out of existence.
Mr.. CUnger intimates that the lack of bust
ness success is due TO the fact that the
papers are called upon to do too mucn free
advertising. But 1t is also fact that every
where there are too many papers printed
and the people arc called upon to give a
halfway support to two papers when one
could do good business and become not
only journalistic success, but fairly
profitable investment. The people them
selves are responsible for it, not merely as
readers but as advertisers. Ii men would
be willing to dissent from editorial opinions
through the columns of the paper itself and
not encourage the establishment of others.
and il advertisers would discourage new
paper enterprises by refusing advertise
ments. the problem would be quickly and
satisfactorily solved.

Why the bridge contractors were not COM
PEELED to ''take down" the old Washington
street bridge as the contract requires them
to do is one of the things the average citizen
cannot understand. The city pays good
price for having the work done and yet no
effort is made to compel the contractors to
do as they agreed to. 1t should be the bus
mess of the aldermen to see that an amount
equal to the cost of this work is withheld
when the final settlement is made. The
taxpayers have right to demand this.

FIGHTING IN CUBA.

The Spanish Odcers Claim Victory, but
tho People Don't Believe IL.
HAvANA, Dec 8l.-Nows has been re-
colved Of movements by the insurgents
which would indicate that their forces
still overrun pretty much the whole OF
the province OF Matanzas, and they seem
TO have an uninterrupted line of commu-
nication clear across tho province and in
TO the southern part OF Santa Clara to
tho eastward Of the city OF Cienfuegos.
Word has been received that General
Valdez overlook the insurgent bands Of
Gomez and Macoo at the Maria plantation,
where they were found stationed in an
advantageous position. The engagement
which followed was evidently a hot ono,
the insurRent cavalry making vigorous
attacks upon the flanks of tho Spanish
forces. Tho artillery fro OF tho Spaniards
proved effective, and the official report,
which is now received, says that the insur-
gents took flight In two directions hav-
ing beon divided by the assault upon
them. Thoy loft seven killed and many
arms and carried away many wounded.
IL is reported that the Spanish forces
won't In pursuit OF the flying insurgents

tion. Here the enomy made vigorous re-
hlAhnco Tor an hOuf, Dut were nnally
compelled TO retreat, losing eight killed and
carrying away their wounded. The troops,
it is said, lost II wounded.
10 is further reported that an engage
mont is now in progress at a point be-
tween the villages Of Perioo, Cuevitas and
Jovollanos between General Valdez and
the insurgent forces. Cuevitas, Perico and
Jovollanos are all TO the west and north
west OF Colon, and are from 12 to 90 miles
nearer the city OF Matanzas and that
mnoh more remote from tho border Of
Santa Clara than is the village Of Cali
mete, at which point the Spaniards were
said to have first engaged Gomez last
evening.
In spite Of the official report, the holief
Is entertained hero that the Spanish forces
have again sustained a serious reverse,
and that instead OF the insurgents being
repulsed and routed the Spaniards are re-
firing before thoir advance. There are
manifestations Of grave uneasiness IN Off
cial orioles, and the belief Is prevalent
that the insurgents intend another exton-
sivo incursion into Matanzas province and
westward toward Havana.
