have denied the existence of the evils
until denial is no longer possible.

You and you alone can protract this

also insisting that no reform is neces-

never yet successfully antagonized this

NO INSURANCE RAISE.

Some time ago there was an intlma-
surance rates from Chicago to the
Rocky Mountains" because of the
losses OF the companies In the San
Francisco fire The Tribune protested
against this as unfair; that places
where the losses had been light and
right business standard to be called
upon to make good losses suffered else
where. We especially objected TO the
proposed raise IL Salt Lake We're to be
included In II.
The gratifying news now comes by
the word of Mr.. B. F, Grant that
there is to be no raise In the rates
here; that the intelligent efforts ma
king by the present city administration
to secure more water for the city has
done away with any idea Of increasing
rates I'm Salt Lake City.
Mr Grant also brings the welcome in
formation that the larger insurance
companies of the coast VIII support the
smaller companies In meeting their fire
losses. If they need this help. This Is
not only the right and proper thing for
the insurance companies Of the coast
10 do, but that should be the rule
throughout the United States. The
Tribune from the time OF the San
Francisco calamity urged this as the
right thing TO do. The companies COM
bine TO elevate rates to enforce certain
standards and requirements; they have
common interest which they uniform
ly enforce
There should therefore, be a COM
mon contract in maintaining the abso-
lutte security of a fre-insurance risk
No risk ought TO be allowed 10 go to
protest. or the whole fabric of the bust
ness of fire insurance is threatened
Any insurance company that is con-
sidered worthy TO be taken into the
combine should be supported and pro-
tected In that combine and Its losses
should be made good by the common
action of all. We are glad to note that
this view is making Its way in financial
circles. as Is manifest from this express
sion In the Wall Street Journal:
II Is a notable fact that the San Fran
cisco losses OF every one OF the New
York fire insurance companies are less
than the capital and surplus. while OF the
losses OF other American companies, In
only five instances are they larger than
the capital and surplus. This applies TO
those companies which report TO the New
York Insurance department
The combined losses Of the New York
companies are only d per cent OF their
capital and surplus, while those OF other
American companies are 63 per cent. The
losses OF all the companies OF this coun-
try thus reporting, amounting to S63. I0o.
coo, are ~ per cent Of their capital and
surplus OF Si51, 30 600. Great as the losses
are, therefore the companies a whole.

must be their sacrifice OF investments.

UNDER THE HIVE.

Is il any wonder that SnlIthism and
Smootsm contend against the enfran-
chisement of the Mormon mass? Why
should not these two-the king and his
political prime minister-Insist TO the
Mormon people that they are being
prosecuted by the Nation, and that
their only safety is In their complete
subjection to the hierarchy?
So long as Smith retains his present
ascendency there arc $4,000 people who
toll to support his grandeur. So long
as Smoot Is the selected prime minister
(and this will be So long as Smoot shall
remain the abject creature Of the &C.
clesiastical monarch's Wild nearly S5o.-
900 people are subject to the political
demand of Smootism. Tyrants do not
voluntarily resign their autocracy over
their serfs. These men are not unlike
those who have abased mankind In
other times and In other countries
There never was n tyrant yet who did
not pretend To his slaves that he was
ruling them for their good, and did not
pretend that their allegiance TO him
was necessary for their preservation
The unquestioning 1.-THE payer and
the abjeCt voter Of the Mormon church
constitute the great possessions OF
Smithsm and Smootism. As some OF
these classes make their effort to es-
cape, the determination OF the king and
his prime minister is to hold them In
closer and closer political and financial
irnDriSonmenf Let them once tnSto the
joys OF enfranchisement and they will
not voluntarily return to their servi-
tude.
Smith and Smoot astride the Bee
Hive and the toiling tithe payer and
the prlest-directed voter crushed be-
neath-these are the principal factors,
In the present-day Mormon system.

CHEFS ARE DISTURBED.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle

exposition at Rauscher's. the proceeds

is what they are called, to go to the
sufferers. The Baroness Hengelmueller
was graclously pleased to give the af-
fair her patronage.
Some of the other chefs tcli a mass
meeting and protested The Austrian
chef is not the dean of the chefs. Poofl
He ranks below the chef for the Ital.
ian Embassy although the Austrian
EmbaIsador is acting dean. Moreover,
the chefs of the private families have
no concern with the chefs of the Of
ficial establishments.
The culinary exposition was held.
but the chefs who refuse to be led by
a chef who is not a dean of chefs ere
wildly proclaiming that tho exhibition
was not worthy the art Of the chefs
of the city and did not accurately rep.
resent them. 1t looks as IL thore NAV
