Defense Against Fire.

One OF the most formidable dangers that
menaces the material wealth of our cities is
fire. Within the last few months several con-
fiagrations Of formidable magnitude have
taken place and in every case it was found
that the means of checking and extinguishing
the flames were wholly inadequate. In the
great confagration at Constantinople the en-
gines are said to have been so old fashioned
and inefficient as to be almost useless. Nine
fire companies with their engines and equip
ments are reported to have been consumed by
the flames. In this country of course we are
service steam and electricity which prove
themselves efficient servants in this as well as
in everything else. But the late fire at East
Boston as well as the more terrible visitation
which Portland experienced four years ago,
proves but too clearly that existing applian-
ces are not adequate to emergencies that are
liable to arise at any moment in city large
ly composed of wooden buildings. Inc great
point in combating fire is to take it in season.
If its progress is not staid at an early stage, it
bids defiance to all ordinary agencies. 1t is
easier to point out the difficulty than 10 sug-
gest the remedy, and it is more for the sake of
stimulating inquiry among those who make
the business specially than of suggesting
anything specific of our own that we call at
tention to the subject. A greater degree of
individual caution and the substitution as far
as possible of brick for wooden houses, are
obvious measures Of prevention. But we
need more efficient means of stopping con-
flagration when once it has gained Roadway.

Tho Nnyt EOrnrnnr.

A number OF the Republican pa
pcrs, in Northern Iowa, have been
discussing of late the unequal dis
tribution of offices. The Dubuque
Times, in an able article, shows up
the miserable pittance Of patronage
doled out to the Republicans of this
part of the State. Italso shows that,
while the Third District has been
treated shamefully in this respect,
the Sixth has Jared much worse. -
Now why is this? l. it because the
press OF Northern Iowa have been so
modest in their demands as 10 allow
all the greedy Office hunters in the
southern portion of tie State to over
ride all claims of justice and gOLble
every thing that is vacant? If this
he the cause. brethren Of the press
OF the Sixth, speak out! 1t may be
gratifying to the outside world that
"a district rolling up so large Re-
publican majority as the big Sixth
should be content to let the hungry
office hunters quarrel over the pat
ronage of the State, but like the
paddy from Cork, who dumped the
horse, cart and all down the embark
ment, otis mighty tryin' on the
hast. " Now, with the Marshall
Times, NoFthWc8t, Waterloo Courier
and other Republican papers of the
District, we propose to have our say
in naming the next Governor. II
may be early in the day to begin the
campaign, but we prefer an open
fight, and therefore, with becoming
fairness, announce the terms in
advance. If "wuss comes to wuss.
hess" as Josh Billings says, then we
say "war TO the knife and the knife
TO the hilt.n The Sixth District /:
not backward in rolling up MAORI
ties, and it vii not be found want
ing when the time comes to say who
shall be the next Governor of CRANE

In the waning hours OF the session

WARNING TO HUSBANDS.-LeO
ard Hendricks has just finished a
sojeurn in the county jail, having
been sent down from Cedar Falls for
the Innocent amusement of wallO -
ing his better half, Mrs. hendricks.
There was question involved in
the decision of this case of great. in>
terest to all married men. 1t seems,
according 10 Leonard. and there
should be no hesitancy in accepting
his word in so peculiar case, that,
during one of the first cold nights OF
the present season, he awOke from a
sound and pleasant sleep 10 find his
person wholly exposed to the inclem-
ency of the cold air, his wife having
by some sudden change of position
deprived him Of his share of the bed
clothes. OF course he was not only
uncomfOrtably cold, but virtuously
indignant, and he naturally proceed
ed to wall0p his wife as aforesaid
For this exercise, he was, on com.
plant Of Mrs. H., brought before a
Justice, anti, upon conviction, sent
down to Sheriff Browns boarding
house TO atone for an infracViOn OF
the law. Now, married men have
rights, and the question is, have they
no redress for an outrage of such
grave consequences. In this day of
WOman's Rights, is there not dams
ger that the rights of the lords of
creation will be usurped, especially
the chartered privilege of all married
men to wallop their wives when they
need exercise or amusement. Mar
rieL men, look to your interests

The Ballet and Divorce.

Sometime ago, the female suft'rag-
| lists held convention in our Metro
politan Hall, which excited cOnsid-
cradle interest. The attendance was
! large. There was no little curiosity
| to see and hear. The most nOticea-
BILE feature of the proceedings was a
"milln between Mrs. LivermOre and
| Robert Laird Collier. The former
fought, for the most part, by proxy,
! Anna Dickinson being her substi-
tute. 1t was right royal fun to see
the feathers fly. The combat lasted
something over an hour. There was
no real issue involved, and cOnse-
quently no tangible result was at
tanned. Several similar conven-
tons have been held in diff
erent parts of the country since
Nearly every one has been the scene
of an angry wrangle. The last and
most bOisterOus convention was held
i'm Cleaveland last week. The Her.
aId of that city gives full report of
the proceedings, devoting nearly an
entire page to it.
The question was, shall the Amer
lean Suffrage Convention, 1. e., the
BeeCher wing, fellowship the Nation
al Woman's Suffrage Association
The latter is under the auspices of
Theodore Tilton, Mira, Stanton and
Susan b. Anthony. The only
difference between them, SO far as
we can discover, il that the Elton
Stanton. Anthonyites lean more
strongly toward free love than the
others. The Chicago delegation, led
by Judge Bardwell, urged reunion.
The convention was opposed to it,
four to ore. ThereupOn the Judge
and his immediate associates retired.
This was according to instructions.
Thus ended the convention. A
g0Odly number had assembled from
an parts of the country. Nothing
was done except this negative work
of refusing to cOalesce. These quar-
rcs are giving a set back to the
cause. Uuless the pioneers in this
cause can give over their senseless
wrangling they had better do moth
ing at all. 1t IL especially unfOrtu-
nate to give such prominence to the
subject of divorce mid the general
social relations of the sexes. To
make il absolutely certain that the
ballot will never be given to the
women of America, IL is only neces-
sary to fix in the conviction of the
people that il would be unsettling to
the institution of marriage. The
hope of country is i'm its homes
Until the advocates Of female sui
frage can enace the impression that
they war upon the domestic tran
guilty and security Of the nation,
they can make no progress. - Chicago

Politics and Politicians.

Is It true, as slleged, that politi-
clans are becoming more corrupt
every day? We do not believe it. A
general sentiment is being decemin-
ated, in these latter days, that no
good can come out of Nazareth, that
those who touch politics are at once
tainted with its corrupting infiu>
ences. SO strong has this sentiment
grown of late years thst many have
come 10 class all in the same catalogue.
Perhaps the press OF the country is
somewhat to blame as being, in this
respect, the most potent agency in
the creation of this sentiment, grow
ing out of its open and frank denun.
citation of dishonesty, wherever
found. The wholesale condemns
ton of all, because one or two rOgues
are found in community, strikes us
at once, as extremely unjust, and
yet precisely similar is the sentiment
which prevails to a great extent re-
garding politicians. We are aware
that there is Il vast amount of cor
ruptiOn in politics, but we would
have mankind TO look upon their
fellows with discretion and charity,
and denOunce where justice demands
and uphold whore true merit de-
serves. Il is degrading to our gov
eminent to look upon political men
with so much distrust. AS we esti-
mate our own nation, so will others
estimate us. Is not this proscriptive
feeling one of the great mediums of
corruption? Few of our best men
arc found filling our Offices of public
trust because, forgooth, they must be
classed as corrupt when they enter
into political life. We believe the
people and the press of this country
have gone 10 extremes in this respect.
Wholesale corruption is more in the
matter Of thinking than in the fact
itself, and it is working its injury,
The guilty have less of punishment
than they deserve, while the upright
man is not only unrewarded, but
unjustly assailed.
Public sentiment should be changed
in this respect, aud they will
see far more virtue and upright
ness in politics and politicians than
the people are willing to admit.
