Of expenses. ::
/ We shall be told, OF course, that it will
ipiure the city to lessen the expenditures
for police and street purposes and the like.
But We can afford to dispense with parks
and promenades. The streets show very
little sign of improvement, and even upon
important thoroughfares the city officials
refuse to bear one-haf OF the cost OF re-
paving. About the police, the less said the
better it will be for the Council. The citi-
zens can protect themselves more cheaply
and effectively than they are protected BY
,ae city police. =.
Tie conclusions at which we arrive, are
these: The people will not pay any tax
which they have a reasonable hope OF es-
Gaping from; the license law is OF 80 doubt
full validity that the people may properly
refuse to pay it; the real and personal prop
erty cannot, without severe hurt, stand any
material additional tax; the Council, there
fore, must meet the loss Of revenue caused
by the collapse OF the license law by reduc-
ing the cost OF running, or walking, the mn-
niclpal government. These are the opinions

to saving the panlc-stricken women IN tae

ened from sleep and were 30 terrineo az tne
dread alarm of fire that they were borne un-
conscious down the stairs. Olga Geleulcn, tne
young German girl who was reported kllIeo,
was the only one to receive serious injury,
which will probably prove fatal Startled oy

Bellevue Hospital. Mr.. August Gemmingen,
cashier of the establishment, contributed 10
the humors of the calamity. Being aroused
from bis sleep, like the others he became
bewildered by the din and confusion around
him, and with nothing on but hls shirt leapea
sixty feet from his window to the Sidewalk.

The failure of Bowles Brothers d Co., IN
London and Paris, reflects disgrace upon
American men of business, and the indigHa-
tlon of their oountrymen Is greater even tnan
that of Europeans. Many Of the incidents
connected with the failure are of painful
natnre. Two Canadian ladies, teachers, had
lust arrived In Paris, after, by the economy OF
many years, having saved money enough TO
visit Europe to obtain the Parislan accent TO
their French. Their money was lodged with
the Messrs. Bowles; and they now find them
selves in foreign city penniless. The wife OF
Father Hyacinthe is said to have lost q large
mart of her fortune in the concern. A New

Let We'll Alone!

It is a pity that the City Council should
indulge in discussions about the Fire De-
partment which provoke Ill feeling and &C
oomplish no earthly good. There is not a
CITY in the country which has q more Wig
orous and competent fire department, and
We do not know Of any. city which has 80
many engines, in proportion to iss size.
The fremen buy their own steamers, and
the pay which they receive from the city
does not cover their working expenses.
Whenever any extraordinary expenditure is
to be met the citizens are appealed to, and
thew as individuals, not the City Council,
foot tho bill. This is the meaning OF the
mum sro1s balls and entertainments which
! ara advertised. They are calls upon the
public Tor the help which the public are only
too happy to give. :, .,3..s.
It is the duty Of the City Council to foster
the Fire Department and to keep its status
unchanged. some;s Aldermen are disposed
to raise the question OF race, and to insist
that colored steam company De aomittea
TO the Department. simply because 1t Is a
colored = company. Any such admission
would be eminently Injurious TO the city.
There are steamers enough; the city cannot
afford to incur any greater expense. The
only argument in favor of the admission OF
tie new company is that 1t consists Of col
ored men exclusively. This Is no argument
at all. There should be no distinction on
account Of '.Face, color, or previous condi-
tion;n the sacred constitution forbids 1t.
It Is just as we'll that the City Council
should know what they are dotag. a per-
severance in their present course a0m break
up the Fire Department What will follow
"A paid department, Of stamp that will
give no confidence TO the citizens ems and no o
security to property. We say, Let we'll
alone. .s-s.- s-s.. ..tfr. -H-Er 80 -t.r
