OUR FIREMEN-HOsE WANTED

We cannot let the present occasion pass with
out giving to our own noble and energetic Fire
men particular and distinct praise for their dare
ing and unparalleled exertions at fires, wherever
they may be present In Norfolk and Portsmouth
their extraordinary labors proverbaI, and this
morning added fresh laurels to their fame.
While the matter is now fresh upon the minds of
all our citizens we would urge them to throw in
according 10 their means, to raise fund, for the
purchase Of new hose for our companies. sub
scription is already in hand, and we do hope it
will be literally filled. The Hose on hand has
done good service, and every fire shows that it
is worn out. To keep our fire apparatus in good
order is the best insurance against fire.

THE TRADE OF THE pRAIRJEs

MIR. Waldo of independence Missouri, an ener-
getic merchant of twenty years standing has
written very interesting letter on " the trade
of the Prairiss," from which we extract the fol-
lowing. The value of goods at first cost is esti-
mated at 1897 500. Cost of mules, oxen, pro-
visions, and pay Of men $4l4,750. Total out fit
81 ,353,250. The estimated nett profit is $780,
600. 1850 mules, 1000 oxen and 500 men is the
force employed in the overland Mexican trade for
1916. In Oregon this year, he estimates there
will be travel of 500 wagons, 1900 yoke of
oxen, 25OO horses, and $500 persons. The
travel to California, he estimates, will be about
the same as Oregon.

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

Again has the hand of the incendiary been ap-
piled our town, and all our citizens were aroused
about d o'clock this morning, by the alarm of
fire. The flames were first discovered in
wooden house owned by Mrs. Malone, and occu
pied by Mr.. Henry Weitz. as residence, con-
dictionary and fancy store; the whole contents of
this building was destroyed Insurance of con.
tents effected-none on the house. At the time
of the fire, the house was untenanted, the iami.
ly of Mr.. w. having left for Baltimore the day
previous From this the flames extended to the
house formerly occupied by Mr.. John j. Clark as
a dwelling and watch makers shop, and owned
by Capt. B. O'Nell then the house occupied by
Mr.. Michael Born refractory was nearly con-
sumed, but luckily the flames were arrested on
this side, by the noble exertions of our Ports
mouth firemen--the last building was owned bv
the Catholic Church. The double tenement brick
house, also owned by Capt O'Nell, occupied by
Mr.. Creepy as a dwelling and millinery store,
and by P. Gallaher, dwelling and confec-
tionary establishment, next caught, and was much
damaged before the flames, were finally arrested
at that building. The building mex, door, owned
and occupied by Mr.. John Bourke, was seriously
injured by pulling down the front with fire hooks,
to prevent the extension of the fire on the west.
At one time it seemed as if nothing could prevent
the destruction of principal part of the town, as
the burning shingles and Goals were carried to
great distance and set fire to the Presby terrain
Church, and several private dwellings,, which
happily were discovered in time to prevent their
destruction. The Norfolk fire companies were on
the ground as usual The property in the build
ings above named was removed, and principally
saved.
We hope that something will be done to shield
our citizens from tho foul incendiary who is Turk
ing in our midst, and may ere long destroy all
our property if not sacrifice our lives. The two
late fires the best argument we can advance for
the incorporation of our town, which would Sc
cure US the services of vigilant police The
destruction of property which has taken pace
within short time, and which might have been
prevented by careful watch, under the direction
of incorporated authority would more than paw
all expenses which we would necessarily incur,
for years, under legal reorganization. We shall
leave this thought with our fellow citizens

RIOT IN CINCINNATI.

The Cincinnati Times states, that an English
man named Butler, huckster in the market, wa
very roughly handled in that city, in consequence
Of some very insulting observations about the
Americans, and he only escaped coat Of tar and
feathers, by hasty decampment The rioters
proceeded from the market where the row first
began, to Buffers house, which they speedily
emplied Of his stock of goods, scattering the
fragments in every direction.
We think that silent contempt, is the bes,
mode, of disposing of such obnoxious persons.

THE IRISH CITIZEN.

The papers from every part of the country are
giving the lie direct to the base calumniators of
that abused and patriotic class of our fellow cti-
zens who have sought liberty and home on our
wide extended lands. While many of the F." Ma
lives" are Sinking from the defence of their coun
try, wishing all manner of evil 10 our arms, and
denouncing the Government, these patriotic Irish
men are volunteering by companies and regiments
in every section, to defend the soil and the rights
of their adopted country. "Shame, where is
thy blush"

A CAPITAL HIT.

In debate last week in the House of Repre-
sentatives, MIR. Severance of Maine remarked
F" He wished to show that this was an unjust and
Infamous war, and that we were commi,too
gross outrages on Menico"
He was replied to by Mr.. Barclay Martin of
Tennessee who wish to know whether the
gentleman from Maine, who had just spoken
held seat here, by authority of the people of
Maine, or as a delega te from yMe9ico."

we now commend to your support and con
fidence the " Democratic Banner" which sue
ceeds the &" Democratic Union.'' The prospec
tus of the Banner is before you. The Democra-
cy will recognise in it the determination to main
tain and uphold principles not men, That il
will commend itself to your support and conf
dence by the energy and industry of its editor and
proprietor, we do not entertain a doubt That
it will be useful auxiliary in promoting the
success of the Democracy of 'old Madison in
particular, and our General Ticket in the an
preaching election, we are certain Then CON
cede to it the support which is necessary to make
it worthy Of, and credit to the Democratic par
ty. Do not permit it to langush in its youth, by
Withholding your patronage, but concede TO il at
once, the generous support which will quickly
give it all the energy and usefulness of mature
age, and it will render unto you and the Demo
cratic party rich and bountfu return by o;yino
you the latest news, and by rejecting the honest
republican principles Of tho farmer Democrats of
Madison county and Illinois.
Gone parting word as TO ourself, and we are
done. We have resigned the editorial chair of
the Union. For the sake Of peace and harmo-
ny, and long pull, a strong pull, and pull all
together We have confided its management to
other, and perhaps ADLER hands. We hold it to
DO the duty Of every Republican when personal
considerations interfere with the union and har-
mony' of his party, TO sacrifice without a mur-
mur, and contribute by his talents, influence and
personal exertons to the success Of the common
cause We have sacrificed our personal feelings
and pecuiiary interest, on the altar Of union and
harmony in behalf Of success TO our men and
measures and we feel that we can call upon tho
Democracy of Madison, Maccupin, jersey,
Greene, Bond and Calhoun, 10 contribute their
mite in the same cause, by adopting as their own
the Democratic Banner and cherishinp it with
that generous support which it is the duty Of all
true Democrats to concede 10 the Banner, upon

THE ALTON DEMOCRATIC UNION

This paper was established some year ago, by
our friend DR.. Thomas M. Hope, in Alton, iii.
nos, but owing to his honesty independence, and
patriotism, he met with severe opposition in his
own ranks, which neutralzed his energy, and
destroyed his usefulness. We see, that he has
relinquished his paper and editorial duties into
the hands of Mr.. Watson, who has changed the
name of the paper to the Banner. We recognize
in Mr.. Hopes valedictory, the same singeness
Of purpose, and high sense of duty, that has ever
characterized him, and take pleasure in extract
ing two paragraphs from his final adeu, as an ed
itor.
