The FIRE DEPARTMENT. The recent dis

ted disturbances which may al any moment
take place in our city, arising out Of tue late
election for Engineers, have set tue public
aud the City Council to thinking, whether
our Fire Department, as at present organiz-
ed, is at all times under the proper restraints
OF law. A resolution looking TO complete
revision of tile entire Department has been
introduced in Council, and referred TO the
Committee on Fire Companies. We hope
that Committee will give the matter its seri-
Gus and full attention. and, without fear, ia
vor, bias, or reward, tell the people plainly
and promptly the needs and necessities Of
the present system, and recommend such re-
forms and changes p 1t, as the reputation
the morals anu tue interests OF the people
require. Disorder must be checked, VIC
lence must be prevented, aud every attemp
at tumult and riot promptly suppressed. l

The lives and property OF the community
must be preserved, and the peace and orde
of the city maintained at any price; and
after dillgent and impartial investigation
Of the whole matter, the Committee on Fir,
Companies should feel compelled to recon

rLLUMINATING COAL oIIs.

Dr. BUSH deserves the thanks OF every
housekeeperin in the city for the einterest he man.
ifested before Council, last Thursday evening,
in favor of a law for the better security of the
lives and property of hundreds of families
who have, from necessity, to burn coal OIL
Since the lamentable burning to death of Miss
Carswell by the explosion of coal oil lamp |
just at the moment when she was about to re-
tire to bed for the night, DR.. Bush has given
much consideration to the subject, and has
come to the deliberate conclusion that many
brands of the so.called Illuminating fluids are
no better or safer than gun.powder In the
hands of inexperienced persons He told the
members Of Council Of the numerous decep-
tions he met with as to the quality of the oils
which he used in making his examinations,
and showed by actual experiments on the
Presidents desk in the Council Chamber, the
unsafe and absolutely dangerous properties Of
several samples of oil now on sale in the mar
ket in this city.
DR.. Bush spoke entirely in the interest oil
humanity, unprompted by any other reward
than that of conscientious desire TO do gooC
a 10 his ltllOMb, AlthSC VIC NtaJ oEoh, NS ~
said in the beginning, he deserves the thank
of the whole community for his efforts.
n Mr.. Higgins, who took the opposite view &
q the subject, doubtless did so in pursuit of HI
- vocation as lawyer. He told Council in tn
i. outset of his remarks that he had been en-
10 ployed 10 represent certain interests, othe
wise he would NOT have been there He e
n, deayored to make the worse appear the belt
