APoLoGIzING FOR ROBBERY

Here and there over the West, We find
an occasional newspaper, edited by some
apologist for tariff robbery, who was educa-
tedinthe narrow rut Of the protection pirates
aud who conceiyes that the object Of
government should be to tax the many for
the benefit of the few. We have such an
one here in Rock Island, editing the
y'aioa. Hear him lie says
An object of the farmers in their indi-
vidual and organized relations should be
to protect and build up manufactures at
home, by patronizing them all in their
power to do. They will thus be building
up a home market, and tn the extent they
do this, making themselves independent
Of foreign markets, and OF the lines Of
transportation thereto.
The great Northwest and South are pro
ducing regions, and no home market can
ever consume one-half their products.
Nor would it be desirable that this should
be the case. The people want the market
Of the world they want the products Of
all chimes and all lands, as do the people
of all lands want the products of the West
The sole object of government is the
benefit and welfare Of the people The
humblest are entitled to every privilege
and immunity of the wealthiest No in
terest has a right Of preference-no class
to special favOrs Every law and every
act of Legislation should operate equally on
all alike When they fail to do this the
purpose is defeated, and they become an
engine Of oppression
We deny that governments have a
right, on any pretence, to take one man 5
property and give it to another without
compensation as is done by the so-called
protective system. We deny its authority
to build up one class at the expense of
any other. We deny its right to levy
taxes for any purpose but legitimate reve-
nue., or to use public funds to aid private
projects We claim that all men are
politically equal, and that, in the eye of
the law there can be no superiors. No
authority exists to create inequality, and
whether done by one man, or by millions,
all such legislation is robbery, and should
be held void.
The producers of the West and South
want no restrictions on trade. They want
to sell where they can sell dearest, and they
want to buy where they can buy cheapest
They will not consent to toll, and suffer,
and deprive themselves and their families
of the benefits of an open market with all
the world. Free trade and farmers
rights, is their motto, and under that sign
they will conquer.

FirAa.

At s o'clock this, Thursday, morning
fire was discovered in room over the bar
room in Hallers brewery, nearly opposite
the glass works in the 9Th ward An
alarm was given and the Wideawake and
Hope Hose boys were speedily on the spot
but in the meantime the employees at the
brewery had succeeded in extinguishing
the FIRE with small hose and buckets.
Cause of fire, defective fue.
About O'Clock another fire occurred
this time in the building on Washington
street. near Orleans, owned by G. I4ynde,
Jr. and formerly occupied by John John
son as wagon shop. 1t is now occupied
by ~ B. Sawyer. as a manufacturing shop
for tin ware. The upper part of the
building is used as a shop and the lower
part as a store room. There was fire in
the stove, in the upper room, and burning
SCOT dropped down to the forge below, on
and around which was piled lot of paper
rags, where the fire started Not much
damage was done, the fire being extin-
guished with buckets of water before the
hose companies arrived One look at the
situation is enough TO show the reckless
disregard to safety practiced both by own
ers and occupants. The chimney, in this
building, where it passes through the roof,
has parted, the upper part being held up
by the roof, and the lower part having sunk
or swayed away so that there is Il
/ space of two or three inches open all
around and near the woodland this space
seems 10 hare been crooked up pih hay !
The fire did not originate there-but let
any man think how near to a cOnHagrati0n
VIC are subjected by such stupid careless
ness The piling of rags under the aue at
the forge, is no better And we doubt if
one Alderman in this city has done his
duty in examining buildings Every one
OF them knows what his duty is and the
people 60 to bed nights thinking the men
they have elected have done their duty in
regard to prevention of fres-when not
one Of them has done any such thing. We
hope the Aldermen of this city, in every
ward, will now do their duty or resign.

THE SUNDAY LAW QUESTION.
How 1t Is to be Tested at Minneapolis, MINI.

ST Paul, MINI, April 2I.-In revenge
for the action Of the new city government
of Minneapolis in compelling the closing
OF saloons on Sunday, and 10 fully test the
Sunday law question, the saloon men have
entered complaints against the printers on
the morning Tribune, who were arrested
this afternoon, and will have their prelim-
mary examination tomorrow morning.
Complaints are also made out, or are max
ing out, against all the livery
stable men, vendors of cigars. to
bacconists, BARRIERS, bakers, milk men.
newsdealers, bootblaeks, and all the other
classes who, by common consent. if not BY
law, have been allowed to follow thier call
ings on Sunday The liquor men mean
business, and assert that if the Sunday
ordinance is TO be strictly enforced against
them it shall be against everybody, no
matter what it costs.

On Monday, Mrs. Craig, in West Lib
erty, Iowa, wishing to start the fire in her
stove in hurry, in order to prepare din
ner, seized gallon-can, which was nearly
full Of kerosene, and commenced pouring
it on the kindling. There was fire under
the kindling, and no sooner had the oil
reached it than there was fash, which
was quickly followed by an explosion, and
then by shrieks which were heard over a
square away. The fire had communicated
with the can its contents exploded in
the woman hands, and the burning liquid
covered the fore part of her person from
face to feet She ran out of doors, shrek
ing in agony and fright, and calling for
help. People attracted by her cries ran
toward her, but they could see nothing but
a mass of fame rushing for well in the
yard. When she reached the well, she at
tempted to throw water upon herself but
the effort was in vain, and then she cast
herself upon the ground thinking to extin-
guish the flames by rolling over. By this
time assistance reached her-water was
dashed upon her, and she was wrapped in
blankets, and carried into the house. The
blankets being removed, the spectacle was
the most shocking conceivable. The flesh
hung in shreds from her arms, her face
was perfectly raw, and her body was little
else than mass of bloody blisters. And
she died in a few hours, in great agony.
Her husband had his hands badly burned
while trying to smother the fire.
And still, in spite of all the warnings,
people go on using kerosene to light fires,
and swapping guns and pistols in fun at
their friends; and deaths follow. Truly the
idiots are not all dead yet

THE WATER SPRINKLER is just as
necessary now as before our water works
were established Here and there man
may take the trouble to sprinkle the street
in front Of his place of business, but that
will be no protection from the dry and
dusty street next door to him. Besides, it
is quite likely that a regulation will be
necessary here, as in other cities, prohibit
ing the universal squirting of water from
hose pipes at all hours of the day, as a
nuisance to pedestrians and teams. Any
one can see that such a regulation will
soon become a necessity. The only way to
keep the dust down in the business part of
the city, is by a free use of the water
