THE UNDERWRIT ER’S VIEW.

The treatment accorded the pro- tests against the excessive fire in- surance rates in this city by the Mainland board of underwriters is proof that no impression can be made on the minds of that body by written argument and that no al- ternative remains but to send a delegation of well informed citizens to wrestle with it verbally at its next meeting. In another column will be found an article showing the discrepancies between the re- port of Mr. Davenport and the facts, as detailed by Mr. Lalonde. It will be seen that these are vital, yet the committee appointed to consider them suid that they were “small and in most cases arise from a civic rather than from an underwriting comparison on view.”

Thus with a neat phrase these gentlemen turn aside the true state- ment of the facts. Of course the “tunderwriter’s view” is to find ex- cuses for the highest rates obtain- able, in short it is an over-rating view. It will require some pres- sure to twist around the minds of these gentlemen to the ‘‘civic view,” but that must be done in order to bring them to reason. When 30 or 40 gentl are met together t consider a document which virtually asks them to diminish their profits, one can easily understand that they will be afflicted with a species of mental blindness to facts which are clear as daylight from a civic view. But if two well posted citizens like Mr. Lalonde and Mr. Fellows were to go before them and persistently inject the truth into their unwilling brains, they might be brought to reason. This process was gone through a tew days ago with a visiting insurance man. He went to the fire hall and disputed the

that the app could be hitched up in seven seconds. It was done in five and one-half sec- onds and he bought cigars for the firemen.

Objection is made on the score of expense, but such economy is the worst extravagance. It is a mod- erate estimate that the property- owners ‘are mulcted in the sum of $5000 a year in excessive rates. Suppose it cost $200 to send two men to the coast to stop this drain,

°

would it fot be true economy to spend it? The water and fire de- partments are being continually improved, but it is of little use to incur this expense unless we com- pel the underwriters to recognize the fact by adjusting their rates accordingly. As every man knows, five minutes verbal discussion of such business is worth reams of letters.

WRONG BOTH TIMES.

The cocksure military cities of the London papers are now revising their, opinions: in the light of facts.

entered Bloemfontoin, théy said the war was virtually over and talked gaily of the advance to Pretoria as though it would be a triumphal procession. Now they are ready to turn: and condemn Roberts for letting the enemy break through to his rear. :

They were wrong in the first in- stance and are only half right now. Roberts used. up his transport and wore out his horses in his advance to Kimberly, Paardeberg and Bloemfontein. He had to stop and await-equine re-inforcements, bring up supplies, repair the railroads and put matters in,such shape that, when he once resumed the advance, he could keep going as rapidly as he! advanced from the northern frontier of Cape Colony to Bloem- fontein. Even were all these pre- liminaries completed, he could not safely advance until Gatacre, Clem- ents and Brabant} had cleared from his rear the Boer forces which they had dislodwed from Stormberg, Dordrecht and Colesberg and driven across the Orange river. It was assumed, when Olivier retreated with these forces, that they would remain in one body and might be caught between two British armies. When it was learned that Olivier had worked his way past Bloem- fontein towards the main Boer army, it was again assumed that he had taken the whole force with him. The fact now appears to be that he scattered his army into small raiding parties, designed to worry the British line of communi- cations, and only took a small force as an escort to his convoy of pro- visions &c; or that he returned southward on his raid. i

The only serious mistake Rob- erts seems to have made is in plac- ing too great confidence in the new born loyalty of those Free Staters who have surrendered their arms and taken the.oath of .allegiance. He’ appears to have simply scat- tered in his rear a host of men who will act as spies to the enemy, guiding the latter, posting them as to the movements of the British aud treacherously leading the latter into traps set ready forthem The Boe rs have been trekking for sixty years to avoid British rule and would not easily become loyal subjects through the effect of an oath. They know now that Brit- ish victory means British rule for all time and that the gate is closed

ri further trekking to escape it, for they are surrounded by British territory on three sides and can only flee into the narrow strip of Portuguese territory on the re- maining side. Thus Boerdom is at bay and it will fight to the death. Under such circumstances, it is probable, sincerely as we may hope otherwise, that no Boer can be trusted to remain even neutral until he is either dead or a prisoner.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Boer order relating to fur- loughs betrays anxiety on the, part of some to suspend fighting while they attend to their crops.

Some cheerful optimists thought the Strathcona Horse would only arrive at the Cape in time to join in triumphal parades, but they will find plenty to do in chasing the Boer raiders out of the southern Free State.

The arguments of those who have attributed the relief of Lady- smith more to the diversion of Boer forces in consequence of Roberts’ advance than to Buller’s general- ship receive strong support from the savage criticism of an officer who was with Buller. This involves no reflection on the soldiers, who won
