Insurance Rates Raised.

The Underwriters INSURANCE. ASSOCIATION
of the Middle Department, embracing terri
tory east of the Rocky Mountains, at special
meeting held February 2Sth. 1909, the fol-
lowing was adopted under direct instructions
from the companies doing business in the
territory affected.
THAT after considering the condition Of
the territory Of our association as affected by
the large and numerous fires which have
occurred during the past three years, render.
ing certain classes of business improbable,
the association is OF the opinion that not
emily the good of the companies but the safety
of the public demands that rates shall be
Immediately and largely advanced, lest the
companies be forced to withdraw their in
demnity"
The increase of rates went int effect on
March LIST, and applies to special hazards and
mercantile risks, such As stocks Of goods in
brick buildings, furniture, fixtures. etc. and
on frame mercantile buildings and their
contcnts.
The advance in insurance is Is per cent
and applies to all new insurance and renew
ais after March LIST, 1902.
The following risks are not effected by the
increase: brick stores, dwellings, private
stables, churches, schools, colleges, semina-
ries, public buildings and farm property.
This action on the part Of the insurance
companies is purely one of business and
mutual protection. During the past year
large number Of companies were forced to
withdraw their indemnify from certain sec
lions, especially in Richmond, Va, on &C
count of heavy losses and the grea, disparity
between the rates and the risks. The recent
action If the companies ia an extraordinary
measure, the result of a serious condition of
insurance affairs.
The local agencies have given n otice OF the
increase In rates.

Damage to the Canal.

II is officially stated that the damage done
to the Chesapeake aud Ohio canal is not rs
serious as IN 1889. An official inspection OF
the entire canal has been made by the super.
visors Of the divisions, who have reported to
JIM. Nicoson, general manager. The actual
damage consists Of breaks, two of which are
on upper division. The towpsth is found to
be in a bad condition on nearly all the divis.
ions. There are number of small washouts
and the levels are INSTRUCTED in the places by
fills. The damage will be repaired and work
will be commenced at once The canal Off
Gals state that with sufficient force of hands
and favorable weather the entire line can be
put into condition for navigation within a
month or Six weeks. 1t was expected to
reopen the canal about March 20. but the
time will necessarily be extended several
weeks pending repairs. It is roughly esti-
mated that the repairs will cost between 80,
900 and 100000.

Duties and Difficulties. il,

We do not know the author thereof, but
the following bit of wisdom 10 worth re pub
fishing, and we give It as follows:
"Some newspaper editors seem to forget
that people generally have patriotic feeling
toward their hometown, and when an editor
sets out to ridicule Or find fault with his own
community because OF fancied slowness or 10
relieve personal grievances he Is going up
against delicate proposition. 1t Is oil well
enough to offer suggestions and advocate
improvements, but II is bad form and unprof'
liable to say anything that will in the least
reflect upon the town or Its people. If you
must spout say something that will leave
q good impression among strangers and
cause your own neighbors to throw out their
chests because they happened " read your
story"
Such has always be the policy Of The
CLARION, though at times II has tested our
moral courage. possibly we had better put 1t,
our iutirmities of temper. to their utmost.
When one learns, as the publisher ofevery
country newspaper does learn, Of every cheap
criticism; every little attack all the supreme
contempt of the superior class those who
arc educated, erudite and have assigned to
them the duty of regulating matters modish
when ne learns of those who regularly
secure the loan of his paper; when he discov.
ers the profit directly accruing from Its peru.
sal and it, repayment In the coarse coin Of
rude reproach, It Is under such circumstances
that the soul of the country editor Is vexed,
and the duty he owes liberal and generally
just public becomes difficult and arduous in
its full performance. Were it just that
people should suffer for the frailties Of the
weak, the meanness Of the base and the folly
of the fools, few communities could afford
the luxury of newspaper that possessed
will and courage 10 mete out justice to all
with an iron but even hand.
