The statisticians i?i the lire insur-1 ^
ance companies tell us that the losses wjtj,
in the United States by lire last year moil
reached the enormous total of more |lmv
than live hundred million dollars. How t|iat
much of this was protected by insur- t],..
ance against loss by fire we are not ],nn,
told, but the figures given are sufii- an<j
cient to cause interest, and to provoke wjvt.
serious investigation of the cause of 1 frion
so many conflagrations. It is true'j10|y
the immense total reached last year, man
which, by the way, was never before chus
equaled in any single twelve months, at,
was greatly augmented by the San -fit
Francisco earthquake fires; but after ;itrcc

that the International Society of Build-1 -rue

SOUTHERN'S RIGHT OF WAY.1 _
e daily papers tell of a case of unI
interest that was tried in the
rson court last week, to test the
ity of a claim of the Southern
ay that it owns a 200-foot strip of
from its station in Columbia to
tation in Greenville, and from
>11 to Anderson, a total distance
ore than one hundred and fifty
The suit really was for a narstrip
of land in the town of Wilton,
owned by Mr. James P.
ett. and worth only $25 or $30.
te attorneys tor the railway com
told the jury that it was a "test
implying that if the road won
lit it would then demand from the
ants of the land along its line!

ailway company relied upon the
of its charter, granted in 1845.1
stipulated that the road couh!
inn a 200-foot strip for the road
nd other railroad purposes. This
r was a little later so amended
was permitted the railway comto
secure only so much land as j
dually needed for its purposes ^

i?ur years ago the State of Utah C(

Reed Smoot, to represent that tj
te in the highest legislative body in t;,
; country. Mr. Sn\oot was a ntcin- ,,
of the Mornian church, and held
ligh official position in that organ- j,
tion,?being one of the "twelve j
istles." Immediately upon his elec- i
n, and before his term in the senate .

s^an, petitions were liled with the i \
tale praying that body not to scat |,

stigation, the senate lias voted to (
ceive the report of its committee ^
it Senator Smoot has done nothing (
it unfits or disqualifies him. ,
I'liere can he no doubt that the
urman church is very "rank" in (
irals. but there seems to have been |
evidence that Mr. Smoot was nil- |
aste in speech or conduct. The (
ormoti church advocated polygamy 1
til the national law put the practice j.
dcr the ban. Hut the national law
ikes no attempt to check the di^o^ce,

her senators have been corrupt in
and practice and have been permit- ,
to retain their seats unmolested.
