FIRE INSURANCE.
Full Amount May Not BE Paid Even
When Loss Is Complete.

In a fire Insurance policy the sum in
sured merely marks the maximum liza
bility accepted by the insurance com
pany and determines the premium to
be paid, 1t is not in any way admitted
by the insurance office as a measure
of the value of the property insured.
If l have a life policy for $4,000.
says a writer in the Nineteenth Cen
fury, my heirs can, on proof of my
death and their title, receive at least
$4,000, possibly more if there are bor
muses.. If I have a ship and l insure
her with marine insurance companies
for $4,000, l car recover the full $4,000
at once should my ship be totally lost.
But if l insure my house against
fire for $4,000 l cannot recover $4,000
unless l can prove the house to be
worth fully that sum-. All that l am
entitled to demand is the actual value
Of my house Immediately before it was
burned, and l must give every assist
ance to the insurance company in or
| der that the actual value may be justly
determined.
BY statute the insurance company
has the power to %reinstate that house,
as far as the sum insured will go, in
stead Of paying me anything. In prac-
tice, compensation is usually agreed
and paid in cash without recours on
either side to the right Of reinstate-
ment, but in no case am l entitled to
more than the actual value Of m!

Criminal cases in the last few years
growing out of frauds and consplfacieS
against che Government which have
been tried I'm the criminal courts OF the
District of Columbia have cost Uncle
Sam a pretty penny. In the Postofiice
cases. which were among the first tried,
the Government did not prosecute in

the Government won out, as It did in
the Crawford case, which is now before
the Court Of Appeals: but in the Greene
case and the Ba-rett-Tyne- case the jury
acquitted the accused. Beavers, who
was indicted with Greene. pleaded guilty.

to Washington yesterday after
three days stay I'm Wellsville, Ohio.
where he was summoned as a probable
heir Of the late General Riley, a friend
Of President Mckinley and A civil war
hero. General Riley died x Wellsville
several weeks ago, leaving an estate
roughly estimated at $4,000. A large
portion Of General Riley's wealth was
inherited by him from his father, ;nd

thousand dollars. And it may exceed
this amount should the Government be

The trial may continue two or three
weeks longer, in which event the total
cost will exceed the sum mentioned.
The trial of Binger Hermann has ex-
cited nothing like the interest that was

Delaying the Statehood Call.

1t is not easy to find justifiablc rel
sons for the injunction proceedings T..
which the call for the election on the
Oklahoma state constitution has been
delayed
The election ordered by the cOnsti-
tutional convention is to be held in the
Indian Territory as we'll as in OklahO-

for the election and authorizing the is

in the authority of the enabling act.
The words of the act on this subject
are: That in case a constitution and

In Washington the census bureau
is even now making preparations fo'
the national census to be taken in
1910. 1t is a vast work, involving in
finite detail. and must be carefully
planned The millions of people who
inhabit the United States are to he
enumerated. together with the live
stock. and comprehensive reports also
are sought on the innumerable indus
tries of the country, its development
and resources. That all of this can be
done with absolute accuracy is out q
the question, but that it can be done i
a far more thorough manner than the
census records of the past bear out II
many many instances is certain. The
faithful enumeratOrs are in the minor
ity. and in self-protection the interest

No More Great Strikes,

According to former Labor Commits
sioner Carroll d. Wright, the era of
great strikes is passing, Il result he at
tributes to the growth of Cancellation.
Certainly there have been no labor
conflicts of recent years comparable in
violence. in the numbers engaged and
in the magnitude of property losses
with the railroad strikes of 1877 OF
1894, or with the Homestead disturb
ance OF 1892. relatively small though
the number was OF those participating
in that bloody quarrel. The sight has
not been seen in a long time. as in
1856. of an entire labor organization

Il single employe, nor has a Debs called
out great army of workmen in a sym.
pathetic strike since the Pullman trou
bles of 1894 Less is heard Of armed

the lesson of the folly of using their
giants strength like giant, and the
gain is great.
