RATS STARTED A BLAZE.
At Least the Fircmen Charge Them
with the Crime.

There was a fire in the three-story frame
house at No. 215 Hall street, west, occu-
pied by w. d. Mcmillan, and owned by
w. T. Bailey, yesterday morning. rhe
fire was somewhat of a mystery, break
ing out in the rear of the third floor with
out any apparent cause Mr. McMnan's
three daughters were alone in the house
at the time. Their screams attracted at
tention and a message was sent to No 4
engine house, nearby The chemical en-
CINE and hose wagon responded and the
blaze was eXtinguished without dihl-
Guilty. The damage was slight.
The fire originated in closet in the
rear OF an extension on the third floor in
which lot oe old clothing was kept. In
throwing out the damaged clothing the
iircnien discovered nest of rats. and the
supposition is that the rats had started
the fire with the aid Of matches in the
clothing.

WARNING UP TO FIGHT.
Politicians on Both sides Ready for
the Fray.

Like the fighters they are, the polite
ians of Savannah are beginning to warm
up to the situation. the opening guns
having already been fired. Events of
the past week demonstrated that it only
took one exchange of shots to start the
pot to boiling. Hundreds will gather at
the numerous political gatherings to be
held from now until election day. and
something of a nourishing nature will be
needed by both orators and hearers.
Speakers who paw che air need strength,
and hearers want something that will set
well on their stomache while in crowded
halls. To make a hot speech Logan's
meats are the stuff. He also has fine
foods for those who cheer Go where
the best is sold, and do not be satisfied
until you get it. A quick delivery sys-
tenn is a feature Of bis business.-ad.

CITY WILL BE LENIENT.
Loan Associations TO BE Taxed On
the Same Basis as Banks

The Committee of the Whole of City
Council met yesterday afternoon and dis
cussed several matters, among them the
back tax decision and its bearing upon
the building and loan associations, repre-
sentatiyes of some of the associations be-
ing present. Mayor Myers, when seen af-
ter the meeting, said that the action of
the committee was advisory in it's nature.
and that no report to Council would be
required. ~
The city is disposed to deal leniently
with the building and loan associat lions, i"
said the Mayor. THE consensus of opin-
ion was that they should be placed upon
the same basis as he banks in the mat
ter of taXations, the banks being taxed
according to the value of Their capital
stock. The methods of the loan associa-
tens being different from those of the
banks it will be necessary to arrive at

cs,roKm MARRIAGE LAWS

[. se4ms to be the fashion now s,, oress and pulpit throughout the ,rr;ted States to rail at the marriage ,,ws the fatal facility with which o,oule plunge into matrimony and ,be equally fatal facility with which .,ev evade the responsibilities and consequences of their ill advised haste to get into matrimony by invoking the aid of the courts in ,s,l;nq out. Most of those who treat the subject, whether from the oulpit or the editorial tripod, insist that the remedy for all the trouble .hould be to make divorces less easy. and because people who can oot secure divorces in the states where they reside go to states where the laws are less lax, they demand constitutional amend ment. Itis doubtful if any a remedy can be secured in any event.
 But uniform system of divorce cannot be secured by constitutional amendment and congressional enact ment any more than can uniformity be secured in any one of severa other matters regulated by loca custom and environment, to conform to which local law has been framed The breaking down of the franchise in the south is an evidence of tho impossibility to go against loca conditions in sociological questions The people of the United States de creed that the negro should hav' tue ballot, and they embodied th' the decree in the constitution. Tn

people of the southern states were determined that he should not enjoy the right of suffrage thrs given him. And they are making out to carry into effect their deter imitation. Negro suffrage is a menace to them which it is not to the peo- pie of those states who forced 1t upon them.
 Sociologists can see that uniform system of marriage and divorce would rest as harshly upon the people of some parts of the country as has rested negro suffrage upon the south. In the new states of the west, where more independence has been given women, has been the field of the greatest laxity. In the very nature of human affairs tn. bonds of matrimony are more binding and rest more harshly upon the woman. The free and great hearted west has held that no unwilling woman should be held in an irksome bondage. So it has given her facility not accorded in older states for terminating such bondage. In the older states, in their narrower environment, living their liv-s in the same village, never going twenty miles from home, the great mass of women are contented with the old conditions. Their wants and needs shape the laws, and the divorce laws of those states meet their requirements. But it does not follow that divorce law suitable for them is suitable for states where environment so widely differs. And those who advocate a uniform law of mirage and divorce would construct procrustean bed upon which but few could lie. The
 matter is better left where it is now in the laws and customs of the various states.
