The fallacy that trade follows the
flag" has its demonstration afresh II
both Cuba ard the Philippines. In
both the trade of other countries has
increased faster than ours. 10 the
Philippines the imports from the
United States increased GS per cent
and those from other countries 10 pei
cent. This means measuring the
Philippine job by the meanest iingo
standard, the money in it, we are
carrying the burden of expense of
it more every year thus far and for
many years ahead, in dollars expended
than the whole amount of the trade,
and other countries reaping the most
of the benefit.

The call was issued Tuesday for the
Massachusetts, Democratic state con
vention at Boston Oct 3. SeverHl
conferences we're held during the day
with the result that Chas s Hamlin
aud Col W A CASTOR both agreed to
step aside and leave the way for the
nomination of Josiah Quincy as the
party candidate for governor.
The Boston Journal expects Nj
Quincy to make a lively campaign and
welcomes the prospect. The kepub-
lican party of Massachusetts,, it
says. has become fat and lazy
through lack of real contests in the
half dozen years. A little exercise al
the kind that Mr. Quincy can provide
will clear the fog from its rain and
strengthen it in wini and limb. ;.

Fire Losses in Europe and This
Country.

| European fire statistics as gathered
and presented by Dr. s w Abbott,
secretary of the Massach usetts state
boerd:of health show that in Venice,
city of 200, 600 people, though it's lire
Jepartment consists Of an ordinar,
hand engine placed in small room
under the Ducal Palace, the fire
losses are not over $4,000 a
wear. In Milan with a population OF
nearly half million, the total for the
last 10 years has averaged less than
$50, 900 year. 10 this instance the
CITY il ore about the size OF Boston
hut the fire losses not over one tenth
of Bostons Budapest has a population
considerably larger than BIZ ston. 1t is,
perbsps, the most important manu-.
featuring centre 10 eastern Europe,
and vet the average fire losses for a
number OF years past at this Hunga.
rian CAPITAL have been not much:larger
than the fire losses of Milan. Gensr-
ally speaking, this is the story from
all Europe, except Paris and Russia
where the losses may perhaps run up
to half Of the American dimensions
in proportion to population and valua
ton.
The causes Of this enormous differ
en- CO are varied, of course, but some
of them are within reach Of public
regulation. Building construction is
better in Europe. In new countries
the tendency is to build OF fimsy and
inflammable material and the newer
the country the more likely the
defects, though there is an oifsetting
fact in the greater poverty and misery
in which most of tho people OF the
Old World live, The greater extan-
sion OF electrical wiring ard apparatus
10 this country may or may not be a
cause, depending on whether 1T is
more carefully and scienti fcally done.
The rush ard push with which We do
things in this country, involving more
or less carelessness, Is also factor,
as is the spirit of speculation so much
greater here than elsewhere. And
here comes what the insurance com.
papies call the moral hazards. y Where
speculative operations turn out unfor-
tunately, there is temptation to
close 1T out by setting a match to the
property, and even if the owner has
too much principle for that, he is
naturally guilty of carelessness and
neglect that would never exist il the
risk we're his instead of the insurance
comrany's. So 10 time of declining
and most dscouraging values,
slch as Vermont farms have
gone through in the past % years,
there comes a condition Of things
that has ruined several of our state
insurance companies aud has brought
such loss ratio that it has become
very difficult to get insurance at all
on farm property. This brings the
subject back to the issue so often
pointed out in these columns, that
there is radical wrong in the methods
Of insurance that bring such tempta-
tions and opportunities, and as the
insurance companies cannot see or
will not remedy the trouble, public
rover must intervene with valued
policy law or legislation along that
line

THE INTERVENTION OF ECUADOR

Evidence That Ecuador VIII Join Forcee

A cablegram was received at Washing
ton yesterday from an authoritative
source in Cali, Columbia, near the Ecua-
dorian border, stating that Ecuador had
interviewed as against Columbia with an
army well equipped and with vessels Of
war Under these circumstances. the
cablegram states that it will be necess-
ary to meet the move OF Ecuador by
having Colombian war vessels in Pacific
waters near the Colombian Ecuador
frontier. The information in the cable
gram is considered clear evidence of
Ecuador's infection to join forces with
this rebellious element on the isthmus of
Panama. Until now Ecuador has main .
tanned strict neutrality.

President Mckinley has offered to
Columbis and Venezuela to act as
mediator in their troubles Though
his action is not professedly based on
the Monroe doctrine it is consistently
in line with it, and if the offer is
accepted is we'll calculated to avert
an assertion of the doctrine at time
when it will involve danger of fight
with Europe. Our experience with
Mexico and Macmillan shows that
war between these two republics,
would afford a ready excuse for
European power interference just as
they aid in Mexican for both are full
of European traders, both owe large
amounts of money abroad, and if the
war were long continued, as South
American struggles are apt to be,
European fleets would be likely to
appear to demand repsration for
injuries. thu payment of overdue
claims, etc, and as the demands could
not be met in such a chaos of war and
revolution plausible pretense would
be afforded for the seizure of territory
as Security. Then Uncle Sam
would have to step 10 or abandon the
Monroe doctrine definitely. If the
President can avoid such complica
ton by action now, it is no less than
his duty, and it is not fair yet at
least to accuse him of ulterior
motives, though he has only himself
to blame that his conduct in the past
has been such as to make the country
easily suspicious.

Our Geographic news Tuesday told
of the decision of Denmark to sell
the Danish West Indies to the United
States for 81, 10000, the amount
expended by Denmark on account of
the islands since the time when,
owing to the collapse OF their sugar
industry, they ceased to be self
supporting, As it is understood
that the offer was not made until the
sanction of it by two thirds of the
Senate was assured, We may now
probably look upon the acquisition
Of the islands as virtually effected. 1t
means for US, of course, to shoulder a
like loss for years to come. But the
islands are supposed to be Of great
strategic value in our new career as a
world power. " In the hands of a
strong maritime power hostile to Us
the harbor of St Tomas would be a
source of danger, not only to Porto
Rico, but to our general interests in
the Caribbean and the Cult of Mexico

Porto Rico would enable US to control

Tuesday evening, October 30, q
large audience assembled in the NJ.
r.. Church South TO learn of the
work of the w. c. Il. U. Rev. Mr.
Hoge gave a graphic account of the
work of our organized enemy, which
he said, by adding to the revenue of
our country, wins the governments
appropriation. The wholesale LIQUOR
dealers are organized just as the
miners, for their protection and ex-
panslon. Capital is in their con-
troll, and when "wet county" is
threatened, political influence, time
aud the almighty dollar are their
severe force. For their expansion
and perpetuation boys are the ma
teTial, for the old customer soon goes
to drunkards grave. Thus the
young manhood of our land is being
bartered to keep the saloons going,
even as logs are used to keep the saw
mills running.
Mrs. Hoge spoke of the work of
true patriots, those who labor for
God, home aud native land. The

point of view. Annually $780,
