A Brilliant River Reporter.

The brilliant genius who imbibes free
drinks on steamboats, and furnishes, in re-
turn, abuse lin the river items column of
the st. Louis Republican, of public officers
who stand up for the rights of the people
they represent, gets off the following about
one of the most faithful public officers in
this city, viz:
''All the stupid aldermen are not 10 St.
Louis. There is one Of them in Rock
Island-Mosenfelder, who opposes any
compromise or friendly dealings with steam
boats, and says the city had been at heavy
expense in making and keeping the levee
in repair for the benefit Of steamers.
Mosenfeider d9esn' seem to be aware that
a we'll paved wharf is more necessary to
citizens than any thoroughfare within the
limits of city"
But he as aware that he represents, in
part, the people of this city, and that he is
not the representative or the tool of any
steamboat company. He is not opposed
to friendly dealings with steamboats,, bat
he don't take much stock IN men Xix

A Paid Fire Department.

After the great fire in Boston three years
ago the people of that city decided to
change their semi-voluntary fire depart
ment into paid one, and require all the
members to devote their entire time and
attention to the service. The result of
the change was awaited by insurance COM
panies and property-owners with sharp
interest, to see whether it would verify
the expectations based on it. The figures
show that the change was wisely made A
comparison of the last two years of the old
department with the first two of the new
one shows that the average expenditures
under the former were $5SS,000, and un-
der the latter $5l9,000; the average per-
manent hire under the former was 1913
men and under the latter go; the average
number of engines under the former was
% and under the latter 20: and the aver
age annual losses by fire under the
former were Sl,763,0OO, and under the
latter 100000. The paid system, there
fore, has saved the city $654,OOO per an
NUN in the amount Of property destroyed
and, at the same time it has cost $69, 200
less for its support than the old one. The
practical effect of his improvement has
been to reduce both taxation and in.
surance.
1t is worthy of note that the st. Louis
fire department, quite as efficient as that
of Boston, costs only about half as much
the expenditure for the former being 1915.
900 per annum and that of the latter
$4,000.
THERE'S very strong and growing senti
ment in this city in favor of changing oul
fire department from the present volunteer
system to paid system, and employin.
say about five men and one horse to eacf
hose cart, with power to demand and direc
the services Of people who maybe presen
at fire. Last year our fire department
according to the city clerks report, cos
about 1000. Five men to each hose cal
would be % men. 1t is believed that tn,
services of % good men and horse TO eacl
cart could be secured at cost not exceed
ing the present system. The men ant
horses could, Of course, earn something a
other employments, but must always b
near the hose houses and within easy call
Every man employed should also be re
quired to pass examination as to ability as
a fireman, physical capacity, and goo
moral character aud correct habits. 1t
believed that under such an arrangement
an efficient fire department could be sc
cured at cost not much if any create
than at present, and that many desirabl
reforms would thus be effected. The sub
ject has been much talked of by our bes
citizens, and it would be we'll for our cit
fathers to give it little study and adop
it if found desirable.

Citizen, says:
1T would doubtless be good thing for
Tom Yates, if he could sell the city huge
pump, to operate in transferring water
from one side Of the railroad embankment
to the other"
Tom Yates has no such pump for sale
and has made no effort to sell one or get a
commission on one He told the mayor
that he saw an advertisements firm in
Hamilton, o. ,offeringsuch pump for sale,
and the mayor asked him to telegraph and
learn the price. That is all there is of it.
Was that sufficient to subject Mr. Yates

A Rare Medicinal Combination

Perhaps the rarest. certainly the most successful
medicinal combination extant is Hostetter's
stomach Bitters. In this commanding tonic cor
receive and preventive, are blended some of the
most actively invigorating, alternative and blood
depurating elements in the vegetable kingdom
These are held in solution and powerfully aided by
the best difusiye stimulant known-old rye whisky.
Is 1t any wonder that easy digestion, regular
excavations, a natural flow Of bile, purity of tie
blood and cheerulness Of mind, should be vigorous
y promoted by preparation in VIII CHI such ad
mlraoie ingredients are most harmopioaly combined
and act in perfect union. The faith felt by the
medical profession In the restorative efficacy of this
medicine, and Its power to nallify theinfutnce o
malaria, is expressed over the signatures of many
eminent physicians s, andsther express ons Of con
hdence are fully ratified by the people and the

Silver Again.

On Tuesday the first payment of silver
coin was made by United States
Treasurer New, at Washington, to Repre-
sentative Foster, of the appropriation COM
mittee, and tomorrow the regular pay
ment for fractional currency will bsgin,
regulations to that effect having been
prepared at the treasury department
The new silver bill passed by both houses
of congress directs the secretary of the
treasury to replace the present fractional
currency with silver coins, by q gradual
process, till the substitution shall be- COM
plete, and the entire amount of fractional
currency now outstanding ($45, 100, 0Oo)
shall be retired. The secretary has been
preparing for the work for more than a
year, and has about one third the amount
Of silver needed, which will do to begin
with and he is continually buying more
We may therefore expect to see ten,
twenty five and fifty cent pieces Of silver,
so familiar to middle-aged men before the
war, making their temperance in few
weeks.
1t is singular fact that since the gov
ernment suspended specie payment four
teen years ago, silver has become so
abundant and cheap as to be of no greater
value than the paper to be redeemed
The buying price is quoted at 100, which is
par with greenbacks. Had the govern
ment redeemed its fractional currency ter
years age, it would have had To buy silver
at rrtIHlum OF 20 FER cent. The new
bill very wisely provides that the fractional
currency redeemed in silver shall form 9
part Of the sinking fund.
