FIRE MATTERS.

Among the important questions which
confront the people of Phoebe none are
more important than the condition Of
the Fire Department The frequent
fires of late should admonish people Of
the danger by which the town is sur
rounded. There is an abundance of water
now for the e1tinguishment of any fire
likely to break out in town, and hose
apparatus adequate for supplying the
water where most needed. II is neces-
sary, however, that some provision be
made for taking better care of the hose,
and for that purpose subscriptions ought
TO be raised among the citizens until the
Legislature can pass an act to provide
some other means for the support of the
department The Hook and Ladder
Company is in good working condi-
ton, and needs no immediate assistance.
But the great necessity of the case is a
more perfect organization than exists at
present. Each company now acts indie
pendent Of the other, and there is no
recognized authority for the government
of both companies. In the case of a
large fire, the confusion that would arise
from the want of proper organization and
head to direct in such a time of peril,
might lead to disastrous results. Indeed
such state of things as We have now,
with two fire organizations and no author.
ity to control both. the whole town may
again be laid waste. We therefore urge
both the Hook and the Hose mento effect
a complete organization by the adoption
OF rules for the government of the de-
partment and the election of Chief
Engineer and one or two Assistant En-
gineers. When the department is prop.
erly organized, the people of the town
can rest in security against the greatest
of dangsrs-that arising from an extern.
sive fire. No time is to be lost. as the
danger is ever present.

PoLITIcAL.-The Democrats and Lib
eral Republicans of Ohio have had a
meeting, and appointed committee to
prepare an address, which sets forth,
among other things, that party shall
be formed called the Liberal party, CON-
posed of all the members of the Demo
cratic and Republican parties who are
opposed to the radical measures of the
present administration. The Liberals
of Brooklyn, N. Y, have determined to
preserve their organization, and have
called = meeting and resolved to call
themselves simply Liberals in future
Many Of them made speeches, and de-
clared that they had burned the bridges
behind them when they left the Repub-
lican party. The N. Y. World insists
upon the revival Of the old Democratic
party and says sits chances for a victo-
rious establishment are better and
more promising than at any time within
the last fifteen years" II thinks that
the war and negro questions are not ow
to be included in party politics, and
that this will be generally conceded
before 1876; and that nothing but a
foreign war or new acquisitions Of terri
tory can take the place of the fiscal and
commercial questions which divided the
old Wing and Democratic parties, and
which have never been finally settled as
yet. The World conludes:
1t must be our purpose in the new era
to bring those whe think alike to act
together. We must rebuild the Demo
cratic edifice by bearing back the stones
carried transiently into other structures
or, in plain language, we must re-unite
all who held Democratic doctrines before
the Republican party was formed, and
reinforce them by numerous recent con-
verts to the same order of economical
and political ideas. To accomplish this
we must drop mere partisanship and dis
cuss principles.

A TOWN INCORPORATION FOR
PIOCHE.

After canyassing the question among
the people, We are satisfied that the ma
jority favor the project for the incorpo-
ration of the town Of Phoebe. We
believe also that the delegation from the
county in the Legislature will also favor
such measure. 1t is only as to details
that any differences would be likely to
arise. As basis to work upon, We di-
rect attention to the act supplementary
to the act for the incorporation Of Ham,
ilton. (See Chap. MI, Statutes of 1871,
p. 95.) The main features of the act
referred to apply to the condition of
things in Phoebe at present. The off,
GERS provided for in the Hamilton act
are five Trustees; City Clerk, to be
Clerk of the Board OF Trustees and ex
oficio City Assessor, a City Marshal
to be ex-officio City Collector and Chief
of Police; also City Treasurer and a
City Attorney. The Justice of the Peace
for Phoebe Township should be en-
powered to discharge the duties of City
Recorder, being also required to give
such bonds as City Recorder as the
Board of Trustees may require of him.
The officers mentioned are as many as
the incorporation requires, and the e1-
pense need not be great if proper care is
exercised in preparing the bill, and the
Board of Trustees act with sound discrs-
ton. For the purpose of securing the
incorporation and reaping its benefits at
as early day as possible, the officers of
the incorporation should be named in
the Act, said appointed officers to
continue in Office until the first Monday
in May, 1873, and until their successors
are elected and qualified. The first cleo
ton Of city officers should be held on the
first Monday in May, 1878, and the
officers chosen for two years. The
Hamilton bill confers upon the Trustees
power to levy and collect taxes which
shall not exceed one per cent. per an
mum; to lay out, alter and extend streets
and alleys, as also cleaning, draining,
lighting or otherwise improving the
same; to condemn and appropriate prop
erty to public use, when they deem the
same necessary; to regulate and control
fire matters; to regulate the storage OF
gunpowder; to prevent and remove NUS.
ances; to establish city police and pro
vide for its compensation; to fix and col
lsct licenses from saloons, business
houses and places of amusement; to levy
and collect tax on dogs; to prevent
riots; to establish Board OF Health; 10
divide the city into wards; to prescribs
the penalties for violations of city ordi-
nances; to fix the compensation of city
officers; to make contracts for. the city,
but no debt to be incurred exceeding the
sum Of $4,000. The City Recorder
jurisdiction extends to all violations of
city ordinances and such further juris-
diction as is conferred by general statute
upon Recorders Court. The other pro.
visions of the Hamilton bill refer only tc
such matters as are necessary to give
effect to the whole bill and makes it,
provisions harmonious.

The terrible drain which France is
now suffering may be realized from the
fact that she is now paying Germany
$40, OOO,O 900 per week, and that these
payments will be continued until the be-
ginning of the Year, and then two thou
sand millards of francs will still be due.
There are no bills of exchange, no pa
pers of any kind, employed in these
transactions. The specie is required to
be sent actually to Berlin, where it is
weighed as so much Merchandise. At
first the French put themselves to a
great deal of trouble in an attempt to an
noy the Germans. They paid their trib-
ute in fve-franc pieces, which, for a
time, made silver so scarce in Paris that
it commanded premium, while it was
so abundant in Berlin as to be a
nuisance. But the French soon got
tired of that, and the tribute is now paid
in gold.

ANOTHER OLD PIONEER DEAD.-David
Z. Davis, highly respected resident OF
Ormsby county, of the firm of Davis &
Mowrey, Carson, died on Wednesday
night at that place, after brief illness,
aged about 80 years. The Carson APP
peal says of him.
He was born in Ellsworth, Maine, but
left home when quite young and went to
sea, he came to California in early days,
and thence to Nevada in 1861 He was
interested in the first drive of wood down
the Carson, and was afterwards employed
in Empire during four years as fireman
at the Yellow Jacket mill. He came to
Carson within the present year to seek
his fortune in our community. He was
taken suddenly ill with pleuro-pneumo-
MIA, and expired after few days of e1-
cruciating pain, preserving conscious
ness to the end. He leaves an affection
ate wife and several small children to
bear the sad burthen of bereavment.

The current of air created by the flames
in the Boston fire was SO great that frag-
ments Of paper were carried sixteen miles
away. Leaves of check.books and ledgers
were found at Quincy, Hanover and East
Weymouth. Cinders fell in Abingdon,
Hanover and Pembroke. A charred $50
note was picked up at East Arlington. The
glare of the conhagration was seen by
night at Concord, N. H., and the light
was distinctly visible ninety miles at sea,
and was also noticed off the Isle of
Shoals.

Phoebe is going ahead with its new
theatre, and the movement has given an
impetus to some of our more enterprising
capitalists here, and we are informed
that active steps are now being taken to
dedicate another temple to Thespis in
this city, either de novo or by making
such changes in the Liberal Institute as
the plans may necessitate. We believe
in a healthy competition. Salt Lake
wants another theatre and it ought to
have it it, and soon, too.-[S. L. Trib-

This is the lesson of experience. A
paper conducted independently of par y
dictation is not only the most valuable to
the community where published, but is
more agreeable to the publishers. In
our view it is the province of the paper
to respect public opinion, but never
cover before it, The signal success of
the New York Tribune is remarkable
instance, for during great portion of its
career it has been at war with public
opinion; but being guided by what its
managers believed to be right, and at the
same time conceding honesty to those
who differed with them, they continued
to battle with what was held to be error,
and the Tribune S views Of twenty years
ago are accepted now as established in
the public mind

A POLITICAL PAPER.-The San Fran

Our experience in partisan journalism
has taught us that the journal which de-
ponds solely or mainly ON the party
cabals, caucuses, committees, and adj
ministrations, leans on a broken reed.
The subscription list gained by an hon.
est, intelligent and able advocacy of
everything principles, and rigid adhe-
renee to the doctrines of politics and
morals which underlie all ri ght govern
ment, joined with legitimate and skill
full conduct of the business department
of the newspaper, are the sources of its
strength and the bulwarks of its indie

counsels of the Administration, declare
that the President is warmly interested
in this subject and that he points to our
territorial acquisitions, especially in a
southern direction, as being SO valuable
that the people would not part with
at the present time for thousand times
the amount of the original purchase
money. So far as the northern frontier
is concerned, the President is said to be
content to await the development of the
annexation sentiment among the North
ern people. He thinks General Butler,
in his Canadian annexation resolution,
is simply few years ahead of the opin-
ion of that people, San Diego Union.

MADRID, April 12.-Of1cial advices
show that the Cariist movement in Cal
atOnia and Arregon is becoming more
pronounced. There was a slight engage
ment yesterday between the Govern
ment troops and one of these bands near
Olot, twenty-one miles northwest of
Goena. The frontier is carefully watched
by the French, and the Carlists who es-
cape into France are arrested, disarmed
and incareefated. The Governor of
Catalonia reports that the Carlist band
which appeared in the province of Bar
celOna numbered about ninety men, and
that its leader was a prominent member
of the International society. The Inter
nationalists are very active in Spain,
and there is reason to fear that the So
ciety is organizing movement which
will declare itself simultaneously here
and in other countries of Europe.
