TERRE HAUTE, IND., SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEHBER 7, 1874.
Husks and Nubbins. KflU«. "s tSCWimACGUW. Every reader of th® new«j»peia must be struck by the freque^jarwith which this word oentrt Hardly a daliy paper Is issued in vbidhj doea not figure one or more times. I Mink I will eertalnly be within th^'bennds of troth when I asy that out of every three fires reported two are accounted for en the ground of, iaoeadiarism. No matter whether It he a saw-mill, a dwelling or a facto rv, if no cause for the fire hi olvious,"it Is supp^Med to have been the work of «m incendiary." flany thinking people must have asked themselves whether it Is possible that so many buildings, representing so many thousands of dollars, are swept away by the deliberate torch of the Incendiary. And if they are forced to this conclusion their faith in humanity must undergo a severe trial. Inoendiarlsm, think of it: the voluntary destruction of another's house or mill—the setting on foot a conflagration which may eat up h*lf the town and leave hundreds homeless before it stops! This is a serious chargff, so serious that it ought not to made hastily and without evidence.
Iflt istrue that there Is so much incendiarism who are. the Incendiaries? Who are these demons of destruction that light up the midnight ^ky with the glare of ruin? We never hear anything of them. There is abundance of incendiarism but no incendiaries. It is a vague charge oasily made and felling on no one in particular. Seldom is an arrest made and hardly ever a conviction reached for this crime. It may be answered that the crime is one capable of easy concealment^and this is true to a' great extent. Yet it would seem that the attempt should miscarry once in awhile or the fire be discovered so soon that evidences of the incendiary would be manifest. Who is it that would willingly set a building on fire? Surely he would be a fiend who would be guilty of such a deed unprovoked. There are very bad men in society but we dan hardly .bring ourselves to believe thut anyone would be base enough to purposely fire buildings and light up the town with it conflagration without eeaw $V^Mho?W»6BsiW»6 a grnSgeor revenging himself Ibr some real or fen-railwaystatloo. e!ed wfong but fee insist be ft wretch indeed who would take such a step for redressing his injury. He would see that the blow might fell on many others besides the one be meant to strike, might indeed hardly hurt him at all, for his property would probably be insured for a large part of its value and his wholly orin part made good.' the honor of human nature, even in its lowest types, we cannot believe that many men could be found base enough to seek revenge through the torch of the Incendiary.
It Is noticeable that in dry and windy weather fires are more numerous than at other times. This does not acoord with the theory of Incendiarism. From the very feet that In such a time others than the one he wished to punish would be likely to suffer, the torch-boarer would not select that time for his fiendish work. He would choose rather a still night when the property of bin enemy might be licked up with leas danger to those against whom he harbored no ill-will. It is observable too that mills and factories, and particularly those in which lumber osastitutes the chief working material, are more subject to the ravages of fire than other kinds of buildings. Are we to suppose from this that only the owners of mills and factories have incendiary enemies? Tbese facta point strongly to some natural las As the origin of the destroying element and are not reconcilable with the theory of Incendiarism.
We do not believe thero are so many iaosndfauy fires as Is supposed. There may be and doubtless are occasional instances of property being destroyed for the sake of revenge but we cannot think they ire many. It is not unnatsral to ha*j» a suspicion, when tho flames are a weoping over the town at midnight, destroying everything they go, that aemfe evil purpose was at tho bottom of tbe disaster, and when the origin of the fire Is not manlfeat it Is so easy to fell on tbe theory of IheendiariJim. This charge ought not to be made so reeklessly. It aowmpUshia no good, but may be prodoeUveofevlL "Oive dog a bad name and bang him," say* tire proverb. Too much speaklngof^ra»msy »ti*eeri^ It has been noticed often that a certain kind of erittte, that of sateido for example, sweepa over tbe country something like an epidemic. It would seem that a hundred people bad nude up their minds to be wweiyof life at about lite same time, end ttosooner doss one lead off than the rest follow in rapid and ftartllag sueeesslon. Who can doubt but that the publicity given to tbese itita Is the applanation of phenomenon? He wfcnse mind purposes a certain

The man who is tampted to burn his neighbors prop«ty listens with eageruesstoevery story of a similar doing else where.
