Will Coal Oil Explode Z

An important question once discus
sed in New York was, will saltpetre ex-
ploded? A similar discussion is now
agitating the people of the Northwest
as to the explosive qualities of coal oil.
Let us have the question fairly ventila-
ted, and if life and limbs are in jeo-
pardy by the new Illuminating oils, we
had better fall back upon the lard and
whale products.
The last number of the Scientific
american, the highest authority in this
country, contains the following on the
explosive qualities of kerosene refined
and unrefned and the dangers atten-
ding oil warehouses:
Petroleum rock oil, or earth oil in an
unrefned state, possesses a large per-
centage of volatile and intiammable
matter, which is evolved to conside-
rable extent at the usual temperature
of the atmosphere, and is materially
accelerated by high temperature or
artificial heat. When confined in
warehouses and cellars, in large guam
titles, the evaporation from it is as ex-
plosive as coal gas when in contact
with light, thereby jeopardizing the
building and adjacent property. When
these oils are on fire the heat genera
ted soon becomes intense, and the APP
plication of the water appears to have
a tendancy to spread the devouring ele-
ment. Benzine, benzole and naphtha
ellis, which are distilled from petroleum
or earth oil, are still more inflammable
and dangerous, and should be excluded
by an ordinance from within the fire
limits the same as gunpowder, and
only permitted to be kept on sale in
limited quantities.

point reached by Delano. Mr.. Groes-

Der of the State Senate, has been look

this view he has influenced the most

The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1862-03-20
Are You Ready?

On Monday, April 18th, the spring
elections are to be held, and we trust
the Republicans throughout the county
are preparing for them. 1t will not do
to become SO much engaged with the
exciting topics of the day as to over
look the Importance of the April cleo
tons. The Democrats are actively at
work, having already held State Con-
vention, the great object of which was
tie set on foot thorough, active, un-
scrupulous partizan organization that
will extend to every township and
school district in the State. By this
means they hope to succeed in carrying
the township elections this spring-se-
curing the Boards of Registration, and
thereby putting themselves in strong
position for most effective canvas for
the important elections of the coming
fall. The scheme, in all its details, is
most adroitly planned, and is full of
mischief.
The Republicans of this State and
county cannot decline the issue thus
forced upon them. AS they value the
supremacy of their principles, and the
efficiency of their power for good, they
must organize at once to meet and eff
fectually check the formidable opposi-
ION that is gathering. Let us make no
blunders that we shall hereafter regret
let us make no alliances with our
ancient enemies. Propositions, in
strong Republican townships, will be
made without number, to run union
tickets, and they will not be made in
doubtful and Democratic districts. By
this device they hope to secure ma
jority of the Registration Boards.
Let us nominate none but straight-out
Republican tickets, and then let as
elect them.
Bearing in mind that as many Dem
ocrats IS are elected to office, in this
county this spring, make just so many
of committee Of vigilance and cor
respondence, the only safe mode is to
see that none are elected.
A firm and unyielding support of
the Administrator in its efforts to crush
out the rebellion, is certain to be given
by the loyal North so long as the Re-
publicans are in power. Is it safe to
hazard even the chance of a political
change ?-of running the risk of ga fire
in the rear ?" By no means. Keeping
in view this important fact, let us go at
once about the work of preparing to
repel the stealthy, insidious attack Of
an INSCRIPTIONS foe.

Gen. Fremont on DUTY Again.

1t will be seen from the orders of the
President, published in this Issue, that
Gen. Fremont has been assigned COM
mand of new Department, and called
into military service. We can not see
that the duties of his Department will
require any very active services, it be-
ing district in which the rebellion is
principally suppressed; although in a
of troops by either army from
North to South, it might become of
great Importance. With General FIRE.
mont's rank, he could have had nothing
less than Department, and it was not
to be expected that he would displaee
Generals who have been in active SER
vice in the field. Doubtless he has
been provided for in the best manner
possible. His Department will COM
prise East Tennessee, the whole of
Kentucky, and portion of Maryland.
