Anothor con4IaRration.

The Monumental City must now be added TO
the list Of our great towns that have suffered nom
the terrible and deyouring element within the
brief space since the Chicago calamity.
The fire which broke out in Baltimore yester-
day about 10 o'clock, a. M, is q miAfortune. It
win carry sadness to many homes, and perhaps /
result in deprlving number OF all they had /
saved from years of hard toll and prudent man |
agement.
Like all the other cities thus visited with
threatened destruction, Baltimore has n most ex-
cellent and efficient paid fire department. But
like all the previous great fires also her depart
meut was entirely too small to contend with the
devOurlng element.
But small as it was, all of its strength was not
exerted at the earliest period. And the fire was
allowed to make headway, when 1t should have
encountered the whole strength Of the Depart
ment. This was not brought mp at first, and q
general alarm had to be sounded to bring up other
forces. Here was mistake, Andit is apt to. be
made. and in other cases as in this it has proved
fatal to the interests involved. The practice Of
years has proved that security against the spread
of the flames can only be had by instant encoun-
ter and with all the agencies 1t is idle to suppose
that this element may be encountered as an at.
tacking army; with single mind TO direct when
and what force is necessary to be used.
The paid system is at fault in this respect !, but
its chief fault is its immense expense, requiring
the curtailment of more than half the force
thought necessary. Under the volunteer depart
ment system, Baltimore would have had tsOsnty
steam fire engines in instant active service yester-
day instead of fosV or .fve at the beginning and
ten only in the height of the battle and the few
who run them could not help becoming exhaust
cd very soon with few or none who understood
the work to assist. The steam apparatus has also
lust this tendency to diminish the working force
and only these few are capable Of doing when there
should be large numberi ready to perform goot
service without direction.
When such results as that of yesterday in Bal
timore fow from q fire originating in the opei
day, by which almost million dollars are los
in the brief space between ten A. NJ. and four
NJ, 1t Is alarming even to think Of what it nigh
have been IN the night, with the small force I
check Il.
FortWnately our own city has q large and VIC
organized volunteer Department, that is ready
any moment TO render the most energetic seryic
But these frsqusnt cOnAagatiOns should be .
