INSURANCE ENEMIEs.

The New York Journal of Commerce,
noting the fire losses in the United
States and Canada for the past three
months, some &4s, 200, 600, says sit is
very apparent that some steps should
be taken to reduce this great annual
waste of the nations wealth" Just so.
The best way to reduce these enormous
losses is for states to create the Office
of Fire Marshal and fill it with resolute
men. The next thing is for the courts
to back them up In the prosecution of
incendiaries. Then if greedy insurance
agents will cease insuring the property
of rascals for largely more than its
value something else may be saved.
This last mentioned evil is costing
the companies and the honest insurers
millions of dollars. In their eager
ness to fill their own pockets and the
Golfers of the companies they represent,
many agents give little care to the real
value of the property or the integrity
of the man or firm they are endeavor-
ing to insure. They are after premi-
ums, no matter who suffers.

MR.. EVANS RETIREMENT.

The comments of the press upon the
prospective retirement of the commits
sioner of pensions, Mr.. Evans, both by
those who regret and those who rejoice,
is not of q nature to give much pleasure
to the president.
The New York Times regards the
situation as full of awkward inconsIst-
encies. If Mr.. Evans administration
of his Office has been good enough to
deserve the endorsement involved in his
appointment to one more highly paid
and more agreeable, that is sound
reason for keeping him where he is.
If 1t be intended to continue in the
Office the policy he has followed, why
not continue him?
If it be alleged that he insists on CIV
ing up the thankless task, we have
to take cognizance of the fact that he
alleges that his ''incumbency had be-
gun to embarrass public officials and
statesmen. It is the policy of the
Office and not the incumbent that is
embarrassing. That will be just as en-
barrassing under any other incumbent
il it be maintained. "No one could
have been more liberal and have en-
forced the law" remarked Mr.. Evans
the other day This statement is true
and is confirmed by the fact that every
pension shark in the land is rejoicing
that Mr. Evans has been forced ont. II
is all great pity.
The Times Recorder adds its hum
BILE opinion and does not hesitate tx
say that the removal of Commissioners

Senator Clay, of Georgia, made
mastery argument againstthe pending
ship subsidy bill. He has shown that
our shipyards are busy; that the cost of
construction is no greater IN the United
States than IN Europe; that ship overs
are on a dead level in the matter of
wages for seamen, as they hire them IN
the open market at whatever ports
they touch, and that the most efficient
of our maritime competitors Great
Britain and Germany-g1ve no general
subsidy to merchantmen. By this array
of facts he has easily broken the back
