NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE, JULY 49,

fotn the necessity OF exercising any special care
in maintaining the good name OF the Company. In
the decision Of this case, every fireman who de
sires to maintain the efficiency and 'reP1tst0n OF
the Fire Department possesses deep Interest,
and fortunately for the city by far the largest pro
norton OF It's members are enlisted on the side Of
order. Since the most peaceable Fire Companies
are almost invariably the most effective and re-
liable, they kre especially entitled 10 prptechon.-
The duties conferred upon this Conni',ee are
highly important aEd responsible, Tor the reiaNa'
tiou of discipline would seriously impair the use
fitness Of the Department and effect the morals Of
its members. Unless 'hese duues are discuarsed
with vigilance and Independence, the Committee
is calculated rather % encourage than 70 suppress
the evils Of which We mplao.

with promptness the grievances established before
its Committee viii justify the complaints to some
extent in repelllng violence by violence, and the
bloody scenes which have disg-aced a sister city
from precisely similar causes will be Introduced and
enacted in our own.

proposed O. be exercised is ill-advised and unde-
served it is only necessary % state that, since me

the conduct of such volunteers, officers must be held
